>> well, the way the fbi and potentially other agencies did that was not trying to protect then candidate donald trump. if you had a problem with somebody on the periphery of the campaign, the obvious thing to do is to go brief the campaign and brief donald trump. and guess what donald trump would have done. if it was some tangential figure he would say okay, we will not have them involved in the campaign. instead, they deployed this informant to spy on the campaign and he was trying to manufacture contact with papadopoulos, with sam clovis, you know, with these people. and he was doing it over and over again. he may not have been the only one, brian. so, when you are deploying surveillance powers, counter intelligence powers, against an opposition party's campaign, that is not normal. and i think that is not what americans want the fbi to be doing. brian: do you feel as though you have seen all the information that would reveal yes or no whether this cambridge professor was the only one? >> no. we have not gotten all the information. and even in that briefing, they did not provide the documents that devin nunes asked for. we need to know what was the fbi doing? were they directing people like this professor and potentially other people and why all this robust activity focusing on the campaign as a whole? they did not conduct themselves to only focus on one tangential figure. i mean, they really looked at the campaign and you have to also ask yourself, brian, why for months and months have they stonewalled congress about the answer? if in fact the fbi was doing what every american would want them to do wouldn't they want to be glad to tell that story to congress so the american people had all the facts? brian: get this, the dni, james clapper on his endless book tour said i never knew about it. i wouldn't know. the director of national intelligence you would know. how does it work? who would know that? >> well, i think clapper, i think, has been all over the map on this. i think another person that is going to need to have scrutiny was john brennan and what his role is with this informant if there was any connection there. these guys have not been straight shooters. i think one of the best things about the trump administration is you have cleared out people like brennan and clapper and you have much more competent people in charge. brian: very curious to see where this goes and i would love to see more democrats step up and say whatever the verdict is, wrap it up. because you are hurting the country with this endless investigation. robert mueller. thank you very much, ron desantis who wants to be the next governor of florida. next guest says they are falling into a culture war trap. he will explain. media pushing conspiracy theories about melania trump's absence from public. this morning the first lady is firing back ♪ ♪ what might seem like a small cough to you... can be a big bad problem that you could spread to family members, including your grandchildren babies too young to be vaccinated against whooping cough are the most at risk for severe illness. but you can help prevent this. talk to your doctor today about getting vaccinated against whooping cough. because dangers don't just exist in fairytales. thethe more you know theme, commute is worth it. for all the work you pour into this place, you sure get a lot more out of it. you and that john deere tractor... so versatile, you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's a longer drive. but just like a john deere, it's worth it. nothing runs like a deere. now you can own a 1e sub-compact tractor for just 99 dollars a month. learn more at your john deere dealer.

"the washington post" came out with a poll a couple weeks ago showing that a clear 53% majority agree with the nfl leadership in requiring envelope players to stand during the national anthem. you wouldn't know that from a lot of the media coverage. clear majority, double digit margin in the president's favor on that big issue. yet, there is a big disconnect between where the activists and the democratic party and where the majority of the country is. pete: the democrats have found one place to unite which is defend the welfare state and expand government but they don't agree on much else. conor lamb who won in pennsylvania who is a marine corps vet. he backed fracking. abraham had a different view on those issues. has the democratic party found a message or looking for the right messengers and right races and hoping they run against a bad republican candidate? >> here's the challenge for democrats. their strategists a lot of their candidates in these swing. they want them to run on economics and healthcare. in fact, they think they may have advantage on some of those domestic policy issues. candidates and voters want to go full left on sort of the culture wars. trump liked to weigh in on the culture wars. a lot of progressive voters that the democratic party increasingly relies on are leaning in on to these issues. in georgia, stacey abrams the gubernatorial nominee may have a populist platform on economics. the reason her voters like her has to do with social issues, cultural issues and the fact she would be the first african-american woman to be the governor of georgia. pete: also part of the reason why so many prominent democrats wouldn't agree with the president ms-13 are animals. if you say that they are beabetraying their base. thank you so much. great column. appreciate your time. >> thanks, guys. pete: brand new 911 calls capturing moments of panic during devastating flash floods are. >> we going to die, ma'am? >> honey, i'm going to do my best so that does not happen. >> god, this is worse than the last one. pete: more of those chilling calls coming up next. ainsley: plus, an 8-year-old boy stops traffic to help this elderly woman climb the stairs. the act of kindness has gone viral. isn't that sweet? pete: first, happy birthday to clinton eastwood. he is 88 years young today. hear that sizzle? yeah. red lobster's lobster & shrimp summerfest is back! get all the lobster and shrimp you crave, together in so many new ways. there's new cedar plank seafood bake. tender maine lobster and shrimp, cedar roasted to perfection. or new caribbean lobster and shrimp. sweet pineapple salsa on grilled rock lobster, paired with jumbo coconut shrimp. and wait. there's lobster & shrimp overboard! it's a seafood party on a plate. so hurry in.

>> i believe, and i may be mistaken as to whether it was the "new york times" or "the washington post" that reported this, that jeff sessions has twice sent in letters of resignation and donald trump has written rejected and had it hand delivered back to him. now, sometimes the president -- we all know this because we know him, negotiates in public. so sometimes the harsh criticisms like i wish i did pick another lawyer is not a way of saying get out of my life. it's a way of saying come in to my life. be more like i want you to be. because, if jeff sessions were to resign today, rod rosenstein becomes the acting attorney general and the senate will not confirm anybody before election day. pete: judge, supporters of the attorney general say besides the recusal he has been laser focused on the president's agenda. do you think that's true. >> yes, i do. he certainly has been laser focused on immigration. there are other things that i think the department of justice is do you go that the president is not in sync. i don't think is he in favor of seizing assets from defendants before they are convicted. i don't think he is in marijuana users illegal in some form in two thirds of the country. i don't think the favor is in favor of minimum mandatory sentencing which overcrowd the jail and frustrate federal judges. jeff sessions is in favor of all of that. brian: some people on the left like van jones say i like this prison reform. it's not perfect but it's good. why democrats won't get behind it and vote for it. it would show a little bit of bipartisan. >> i agree with you on that. i don't think jeff sessions in favor of it we know who got to the president yesterday. the least likely. front page of the post.

pete: no, i was not alive. brian: you will remember out there. ainsley: serious story to tell you about unfortunate one. intense manhunt right now for the man wanted in connection with to the murder of a tennessee sheriff's deputy. pete: a $12,500 reward now being offered for steven wiggins, considered armed and dangerous. brian: todd piro is following the latest from our newsroom and hopefully to say we got this guy but not yet. >> unfortunately not this horrific epidemic continues. law enforcement searching around the clock for any sign of steven wiggins. and even though they haven't caught him yet. police charging him with first degree murder overnight. his girlfriend erika castro myles also charged in the death of sheriff's deputy daniel baker. the 10-year veteran of the force found shot dead in his patrol car in tennessee after responding to a 911 call about a suspicious vehicle on wednesday morning. and, we now know police have been looking for wiggins since tuesday when his girlfriend called 911 saying he threatened to kill her and stole her car. investigators say they won't rest until they find wiggins. >> it is my prayer to god that our court will be a terror to him. on the punishment he receives. our hearts are shattered with this. this someone of our best deputies. he is one of the guys who puts it on the line every day to keep our community safe. >> daniel baker was a marine before becoming a deputy. 32-year-old leaves behind a wife and daughter. this year alone, 28 officers have been killed by gunfire. that's according to the officer down memorial page. authorities asking if you spot wiggins, the suspected killer, please call 911. back to you. ainsley: thank you so much, todd. he has been previously convicted for aggravated assault. theft, vandalism. domestic assault. never showed up for his community service in the past. now he is on the run after being accused of killing that sheriff's deputy. pete: the guy we want to remember here is this law enforcement officer. also a marine. the 28th police officer shot in the line of duty just this year and as you hear his colleagues describe him. he was that guy you want at that moment. always leaning forward. and when you lose someone like that, when you lose any cop, but, in this particular case, who would charge through that door it's even more devastating. brian: killing a cop means your life is over. it means death penalty. there was a time we did that. i think the death penalty can be debated and there is some strong reasons not to have it. maybe we could all agree that killing a cop is automatic -- doesn't matter what state or what happened. you do it intentionally, you are convicted. you die. ainsley: that's the way it was when we were growing up. brian: you would think that. there is no more fear. pete: like a great federal law if i ever saw. i'm not a great fan of federalization. you kale police officer you are done. right now we have this antipolice culture in some quarters that is leading to this. manual, tough to see. brian: 35 all of last year. 28 and we are just still in may. let's talk about what the president was tweeting about yesterday that trey gowdy brought up and has been speculated. one thing that still vehicles the president today vehicles -- vexes the president. this investigation. witch-hunt there. nothing there distraction. bankrupting a lot of people who supported him. a lot of people are around him. and it never goes away. and he looks back and says how did this start? my attorney general recused himself and in the past attorney generals watched the back of the president. even though they are not, you know, necessarily that's not the mandate. that's what it is. why did he recuse himself? why didn't he tell me before he did it and if he did, i would have said jeff, i will get you another job. you were loyal to me. i will give you that. but since you were involved in the campaign it's not the right spot for you. maybe put him in in the second term if he gets a second term. game on. ainsley: never any collusion. even if there were collusion it wouldn't be illegal. the question is why did this attorney general recuse himself in the first place. pete: a lot of regrets it seems and definitely expressed yesterday on twitter. we had judge andrew napolitano on the show earlier talking about this. this is what he said about sessions and the job. >> the president of the united states is entitled to an attorney general in whom he has confidence. >> of course. >> jeff sessions shouldn't have accepted the job. he should have said you know what, mr. president, at this point trump is the president-elect. this is the job i have wanted all my life. i have prepared for it and aspired to it i'm going to be in the middle of this russian investigation, as illegitimate as i think it is and you know it to be, it's going to happen and i'm going to be a witness. if i become attorney general, i have got to step aside from being in charge. pete: imagine the frustration for this president. you are under siege in a phony russian investigation for over a year, for the entire presidency. yet, your top litigator is on the sidelines. and it's not i love how the left would say if trump had an attorney general, it would cozy up and cover up. as you stated, the relationship between these two people in prior presidents was very, very close. in fact, eric holder in 2013 had this to say about his relationship with barack obama. this is barack obama's attorney general. in a radio interview said i'm still enjoying what i'm doing. there is still work to be done. i'm still the president's wing man. i'm there with my boy. the reality is attorney generals oftentimes have the back of their president and have a very close relationship and in this case, president is throwing up his hands saying i don't have the guy i should have on my side on the biggest issue i need him for. ainsley: christopher steele even testified over in great britain. he said that the dossier was raw intelligence and it might not even be true. he said there is a 50/50 shot it's not true. they use the bulk of that information to go to the fisa court to get an application and to spy or to get the spies a warrant. christopher steele, who is behind the whole thing even says there is a 50/50 shot it wasn't true. sally yates signed off on it then it expired. then you had rosenstein. he signed off on it he was the last person to sign off on this. pete: problem get rid of sessions who comes next acting attorney general is rosenstein. that's part of the complication. brian: rod rosenstein, did i see him last week. and i said how are things going for you. he says don't believe what you read. so we will see. and he was sitting right next to the president when he said it. pete: don't believe some of the things that are said on television. brian: real quick, i remember joe kennedy told john kennedy after he was elected president your brother is going to be attorney general. really he has never tried a case. he said you need somebody in washington to watch your back. meanwhile, chris matthews knows all about the kennedys and wrote books about them and knows about republicans so he thinks. listen. >> cultural problem with the republican party as opposed to most americans. republicans are told read the "wall street journal," play golf and talk about pro-sports. especially are all programmed a certain way. they don't have too many outliers, republicans. they have all behave basically the same, right you?

>> i was adopted a senate boy. i can tell you a lot of times the tribes have a lot of land. not a lot of law enforcement on the land. and they are being used by the drug dealers that come in, muled and trafficked not only drugs but child trafficking is really large. you know, they need some help. we work with the tribes. we are serious. the president has said this is a war on opioids. it's destroying communities. it's destroying communities on indian reservations at a higher rate. and so we're, again, we are targeting the problem, which is the drug dealers and we have been enormously successful. ainsley: tell me about your success. how many have you had. >> this is our fourth operation. we're continuing to do it and we are targeting areas where the nation's ask us because the nations are sovereign. so we work with them very, very closely. and again, it's a task force. we're going to continue along the border. a lot of problems there this is important. the president has made a stand about the opioids. it's destroying communities. it's destroying reservations and indian nations at a higher rate. ainsley: which reservations have you targeted so far? >> we are working in arizona. the most current operation in arizona we have been to minnesota. nortnorth carolina. out west. we have been to, you know, washington state. again, what we do is we coordinate with the tribal police, nation to nation. but it's been enormously successful. i'm proud of what our dia, our bureau of indian affairs officers have done bom. we have 4,000 law enforcement officials and they are doing a great job. ainsley: also saving so many lives. these opioids, we have done so many stories on people who have died because of it. what is the most popular drug that you are finding?

ainsley: executive director for the center for immigration studies mark joins wins sight. good morning, thanks for being with us. tell us what's happening on the border. where are these kids being held? >> what's happening is that everybody who is cross something committing a crime so they are being prosecuted. but kids don't go to jail it's the adults who are being prosecuted. just like any other crime if you are a pick pocket or check forger, your kid doesn't go to jail with you. so the kids have to be -- are handed over from ice to the social workers at health and human services. so ice is not doing. this and then they are taken to detention centers for minors until they find someone to put them either foster care or relatives. those detention centers are not dog kennels. i mean they have cable from central america. they have got, you know, they take them on outings and field trips. you know, i'm not saying it's the greatest thing in the world but frankly it might actually be better than honduras, where they are coming from. brian: is the crackdown forcing and overcrowding in these detention centers as they wait? is the fact we are getting stricter. >> that's what it is. it's not a policy of separating the kids from their parents. it's a policy of prosecuting everybody. and those who brought kids with them. and they do it because they understood under obama that that was a ticket out of jail. it was a get out of jail free card. the kids are put in -- you know, in some kind of detention center for minors until they are delivered either to relatives or foster family. and, yet, the crackdown creates a lot more kids who have to be in detention but the point is to deter people from bringing kids with them because they used to be rewarded for bringing children with them by being let go into the united states. we need to communicate to them they are not going to be rewarded for that anymore. and fewer of them will then do it. ainsley: okay. mark, thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you. brian: mark, good point. shut off the magnet and make people know if they come to this country there will be a separation. that's the hope. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. ainsley: steve scalise survived assassination attempt a year ago. one donor is urging donors to take them out. seriously. brian: are you looking for work?

>> well, i don't think it will cost her that kind of money because remember the doctor in this case, he is not a public figure. public figures they have to prove malice. as it relates to the doctor, he will have to prove some type of actual damages. did he lose business as a result of it?

>> reporter: well, it was interesting today to hear the y esident try to set expectations lower by calling this a "process." he's saying it's going to take tre than one meeting to actually get to an agreement. he bought himself some juplomatic wiggle room there to justify what he said he was going to do, which is hold off on new sanctions. the type of significant gestures that would keep this process going would be getting north korea to do something irreversible, like ship out or destroy some of its missiles and ultimately agree to let in weapons inspectors to verify just how extensive kim jong-un's arsenal actually is. the president also said today, you know, it might be possible an end the state of war on the korean peninsula. to north korea, that sounds a lot like a concession or a hint that he might be considering drawing down u.s. troops there. ys that not on the table at this point. jeff. li glor: that certainly sounded like an enormous statement when it happened. talking logistics here inside that room, who-- who is going to be there in singapore? >> reporter: you've got an entire white house team negotiating this right now. and right-- right now, the person with the most experience negotiating with north korea is the secretary of state. he's the one with the relationship, mike pompeo. but he says he does not yet know if he's going to be in the room and for how long with kim jong- un. so, they've got to come up with a game plan quickly out at camp david this weekend. >> glor: and, of course, the translator, as well. all right, margaret brennan, thanks very much. gi will be broadcasting from singapore beginning sunday, june gi, and the "cbs evening news" 11ll originate from there monday and tuesday, june 11 and june 12. now, an already troubling mystery in new england took a dark turn today. police in springfield, massachusetts first arrested a man for kidnapping. now, they say that three bodies have been found inside the house where the man had been living. ndnight, it is a major crime scene, and anna werner is there. >> reporter: investigators found the three bodies in and around tois small bungalow and today raed ground-penetrating radar to look for more evidence. authorities said it's the residence of 40-year-old stewart a ldon. a police report shows weldon war asase and the discovery of a female passenger who said she'd been kidnapped and physically abused. an officer wrote that her injuries were "grotesque and o olent," and included stab pounds to her abdomen and a o ssible fractured jaw. before being transported to the u,spital, the report says the woman told police, "thank you, guys, for saving my life. i didn't think i was ever going to get away." hampden county district attorney anthony gulluni says additional information later led police to the house. you found three bodies. are you operating under the assumption that these were murders? >> we're operating under the assumption that these deaths are suspicious. u> reporter: do you think you have a serial killer on your hands? >> i'm not prepared to say that right now. >> reporter: so, the d.a. won't confirm who else may have been living there in that house behind me, but the massachusetts department of children and families does confirm it took emergency custody of a child who was living in that home. jeff. >> glor: anna werner in springfield, mass. anna, thanks. some people in new mexico had to outrun flames today as a wildfire raced through a bone- dry forest. evacuations were ordered as the fire is close to a small town. jamie yuccas has the video tonight. >> oh, my god. we haven't have come through. oh, my god. >> reporter: this was the harrowing scene rick archuleta and his son saw as they drove through the ute park fire. it has torched more than 16,000 acres since thursday. >> head out? >> yeah. >> reporter: residents in the village of cimarron, which is more than 150 miles east of santa fe, were ordered to evacuate as the fire is only three miles outside of town. >> you have to evacuate. you have to figure out what is the most important. >> reporter: some neighbors say they will stick it out to the last minute. >> as long as there's just smoke, i'm not worried about it. but when you get to where you see fire, then it's time to do something. >> reporter: air tankers, helicopters, and ground crews are working around the clock to put out the blaze. officials say 12 buildings have been destroyed and more than 290 could be threatened. authorities say conditions are bad to fight this fire. humidity is low, temperatures are high, and winds are extremely gusty, fanning those flames. right now, the fire is 0% contained. and, jeff, investigators are trying to determine tonight what caused it. >> glor: look at that smoke. wow. jamie yuccas in los angeles for us tonight. thanks very much. people who live in the path of lava from hawaii's kilauea volcano have also been warned to get out. those who remain face arrest and the possibility that no one will be there to rescue them in an emergency. carter evans reports from the big island. >> reporter: with a month of nonstop, red-hot lava flow, tempers are also erupting in the evacuation zone.

could be arrested if they didn't leave the area by noon today. the lava zone is becoming increasingly dangerous, especially near the main whssure. when the lava comes, it consumes everything in its path. but sometimes it burns these trees down slowly. you can see where it surrounded a trunk over there. herther to the left, that one is about to fall over. and the dramatic images broadcast around the world are having another impact, on tourism. >> it's kind of a shocker for us because this is really a normal itcurrence. >> reporter: ross birch is with the big island's visitor's bureau. he says the eruptions impact less than 1% of the big island. but still, hotel bookings are down 50%, even in kona, on the other side of the island. cruise ships are also canceling port calls. >> quite honestly, if you live in the l.a. area or you live in any other metropolitan area, you're going to have about the same air quality as we have. >> reporter: the hawaii volcano's national park is the number one attraction here, but n''s closed indefinitely. scientists aren't offering any predictions on how long this thuption might last, but they do say there could be more large steam explosions at

were dispensable and disposable, and that the surest way to be fired was to speak out. >> reporter: it alleges that when unpaid appearances are factored in, they earned pennies for each hour worked while suffering hostile scrutiny. in one case, coach alto gary is accused of telling the squad, "i see a lot of jiggle, jiggle," implying they were overweight. in another, he allegedly duct taped down a cheerleader's skin, appearing to mock her size. this is the second lawsuit by cheerleaders filed against the texans in less than a month, and at least the fourth lawsuit or public complaint made by an n.f.l. cheerleader in the past year, including incidents with the miami dolphins and new orleans saints. just last month, former washington redskins cheerleaders described team sponsors invited to watch while the girls posed fopless. in the new lawsuit, cheerleaders for the texans describe being uiraded in the stadium, suite to suite. the suit claimed the cheerleaders were often assaulted by fans during the stadium tour. now, jeff, the houston texans told us they're proud of their program and the hundreds of women who have been a part of it, but they are open to adjustments as needed. >>

beginning. i don't see and i have never said it happens in one meeting. you are talking about years of hostility. years of problems. years of really hatred between some different nations. ed: you see the president managing expectations saying this is not going to be one meeting denuclearization. it will be the be all, end awesome think of how much progress was made. the idea that the president the united states is going to sit down with kim jong un and just a week ago, when the president wrote that other letter that said we are pulling out of the june 12th summit. the democrats like nancy pelosi was on capitol hill saying kim jong un is celebrating. this is a disaster. we lost our best chance at peace. they basically have been cheering defeat here. they have been cheering let's not have this denuclearization summit. abby: you talked about setting the right expectations. smart to do it. playing the long game. he knows that the media wants -- a lot of the them want this to fail. they don't want the president to succeed. not everyone in the media. folks laugh at this. notes if they walk away from singapore and not that handshake at the end saying this is not the end of the 70 year war. we are denuclearizing this parity of the world. they will say that is a failure on the president's part. he is saying that's not how this works. diplomacy is a very long game. this is the first of what we hope will be many, many meetings. pete: totally expectation-setting here. june 12th becomes this holliday on the calendar. no, it's just the beginning. all of this feels like the speed of business. a businessman not the speed of protocol or politics or washington. it was off. now it's back on. going to happen on the day said. no need for that date to slide. i want to know what's in the envelope though. i really do. someone knows. and i guess at some point we will find out. abby: they knew who they were delivering to, that's for sure. ed: president said he would give approach to north korea. delivering on that. see what happens in the summit. he said again and again he would get tough on trade. he went forward this past week on those tariffs aimed at mexico, the eu, as well as canada in terms of steel and loom. aluminum. i'm standing up for my country. justin trudeau in canada is standing up for his country saying he is angry about this. seems like is he sort of taking it to a new level. pete: oh, justin from canada. he didn't just take issue with our trade policies which the president has been very clear about. wife he is doing it he went at the troops. listen to justin from canada. >> our soldiers, who had fought and died together on the beaches of world war ii, on the mountains of afghanistan and have stood shoulder to shoulder in some of the most difficult places in the world that are always there for each other, somehow this is insulting to them. the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable. abby: this is something the president has campaigned on from the very early days of his campaign. he has not been a fan of nafta for a very long time. so, you shouldn't be totally surprised when he is saying i'm following up with the things i promised i would do on the campaign trail. because this is what i promised i would do when i came into office. ed: have you policy differences without turning into on the beaches of normed this hanormandy. this has changed everything. abby: the president is throwing everything at the wall here saying, you know what? no, we have gotten the short end of the stick here continuously. there needs to be a change. as you said, ed a lot of people aren't happy about this. pete: shouldn't be surprised. i don't say this often but i literally stood shoulder to shoulder with canadian troops in afghanistan. they are great folks. and they do loft wonderful things. they also have a lot of caveats that don't allow them to actually do combat in certain situations. not to dismiss canadian troops they do a lot of great stuff in a lot of places. it's not about insulting his troops. his troops aren't reading a trade deal as insult to them. saying, listen, trump thinks it's a bad teal. is he a businessman. he wants different terms. let's talk about it negotiations. why do you have to talk about worl world war ii. abby: pull at the heart strings and get emotional. let us know what you think about that. friends@foxnews.com. this is another story popping up over the last few months. started of heating up more towards the end

conversation someone is having right now. at what point do you ultimately fire someone, right? race is one thing and i think everyone has agreed across the board that no one should stand for that this is really bad stuff. i don't know that anyone should stand by that either. ed: here is what they say. some of the things written by joy on her old blog are obviously hateful and hurtful. joy has apologized publicly and privately and said she has grown and evolved in the many years sense and we know this to be true. people do grow and evolve. abby: than that is true. pete: if you are a liberal you apologize. if you are a conservative you get fired. i shouldn't do this, but you can read what i wrote in college. i was the publisher of the -- go for it i said nothing terrible. i just had

know about insulting. but it's a message of desperation. the democrats do not have a growth plan. they don't have one. so they have to criticize the president's growth plan because it is working. and it is working. you know, the president came to office saying i'm going to make america great again. and the keystone to that whole operation was deregulate and lower taxes. he did both. and now we're

true. you can make the argument mortgage rates are up a little. that is accurate. she could make the argument that healthcare costs are rising. that's not because of president trump. that is because

it has been a very ugly week across the board. a lot of hate speech. particularly with women in the white house. why doesn't there seem to be more of an uproar about this? >> people do care, abby. the question is why don't the feminists care? why doesn't the media care and the reason is because there is this perversion of feminism today that essentially discriminates against women who don't subscribe to their political and ideology and you can't really do anything about it because the media is largely owned and operated by left leaning individuals who have created this atmosphere or echo chamber that perpetuates this faux feminist narrative it makes it very difficult even forever those who want to get out there and support these women and the attacks against them to be effective. abby: wendy, what do you think about that you have an easier time forgiving someone or letting it slide by if you disagree with the joke or making fun of them in some way. >> i don't think it's about feminism and speaking up. i think it's whether you sit on the left side or right side of the aisle. whenever an individual is attacked you should speak up. we shouldn't politicize this because right is right and wrong is wrong. however what i do want to make sure we keep at the forefront of this conversation is the white house has not always been very friendly to people outside of the white house either. at the end of the day, when you are looking at this and look at there this from a top down model. if we want citizens to make sure that they speak kindly about individuals in the white house, i would say to the white house, make sure you speak kindly. abby: melania has. a lot of people have been speculating and making comments where she has been. they had to so much talk about it i see the media is working overtime speculating where i am. what i'm doing. rest assured, i'm here at the white house with my family. feeling great and working hard on behalf of children. and the american people. katrina, it got to the point where she actually had to publicly speak out. >> that's because there is a political slant to all of this. we have to be honest if we are going to talk about the double standard when it comes to criticizing women in such vulgar and profane ways, which is what we are seeing today. this notion that the white house has anything to do with that political discourse, i hate to break it to you, but as a black woman and a republican, i can promise you these types of attacks, whether it's racist, sexist, or misogynist have come long before 2016. all we have to do is look at sarah palin and what happened to her and her family including the horrible names that her special needs child was called. and to the vulgar sexual references to her 14-year-old daughter. this is not something that's brand new. but it is solely relegated to conservatives u. abby: your response. >> that's not true, katrina. as a black woman myself, i can say to you we shouldn't use that as necessarily our straw man to say these attacks are warranted or unwanteunwant warranted: >> here we go with the slave good history. >> no. [talking at the same time] >> let me finish. >> no. you want to sit here and personally attack me, wensdy. abby: the question i want to ask you ladies, separate. i can't hear either one of you we can't have that conversation. >> you said slavery is good history. >> all our history is good history and you brought up slavery. >> just last week candace owens someone who doesn't group think like the left she was at the called a coon. tell me wendy when is the last time someone in the media calls you that. >> every time i get on fox news someone calls me a coon and a monkey. abby: we will have candace owens on -- we have to leave it right there. thank you so much for being on with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thanks, abby. >> thank you. abby: early for a fiery debate like this. john brennan furthering his attacks on president trump. >> i think mr. trump has demonstrated a paranoia and insecurity as well as a real concern about the investigation that is underway. abby: he says he is not going to stop until integrity returns to the white house. dan bongino is here. he's going to react. that's next. and can do you roseanne without roseanne? abc, they are trying to, apparently. an update on that straight ahead ♪ ♪ ♪ >> $17 million is a really huge amount. but the greater cost to the public is that we paid all this money and we don't find out the truth that we're not going to get what we paid for. so the test is going to be both in the fbi and mueller investigation is we'll be see the factsment the prohibitive cost in all of this would be lingering doubts. >> that was jonathan turley last night on tucker's show. here to react dan bongino former secret service agent and host of the dan bongino show. and also an nratv contributor. 17 million bucks the doj has now revealed their spending report. are we getting a good return on our investment for that $17 million of taxpayer money? [laughter] >> pete, what is this the comedy hour. change careers on me? $17 million? are we getting our money's worth? we are getting worked. worked with a capital w. i grew up in new york city in the streets of queens there. that was -- you are getting worked. you are getting screwed so badly the american people by this sham investigation. i have never seen anything like it. let me walk you through for a second for a couple things. the case was founded on a total sham. we now know that there is russian collusion with the clintons and the democrats. but bob mueller's investigating donald trump for it, number one. pete, number two, the mueller probe team is stacked with anti--trumpers. two of whom are lawyers. this is a fact by the way. i encourage anyone to look this up, who actually represented people before hand in the clinton sphere. they represented clintontonians involved in the case. this is a total scam. everybody is getting worked. abby: where does it end. >> trump board get $100 every time they hit a bulls eye. i have no idea. perfectly fair question for you to ask. what are we paying for? we are paying for 1001 charge george papadopoulos for fibbing to the fbi. shut the country down almost two years now and paid almost $17 million. obviously i'm passionate about it this is suspect setting. i was a federal agent. this is a serious thing to have the power to take away someone's freedom and the american pack taxpayer me includeside pay foorg total sham. ed: we have been told the official version of events this whole investigation started when george papadopoulos was having drinks in london and drunken conversation about potential russian collusion when, in fact, john brennan and others are now under the microscope as to whether they were starting this much sooner. john brennan, as you know, wrote this op-ed yesterday in the "the washington post" saying i will speak out until integrity returns to the white house. here's what he said on morning joe and then i will get your reaction. >> i think mr. trump has demonstrated a paranoia and insecurity as well as a real concern about the investigation that is underway. certainly his tweets do not seem like they are coming from a person of innocence and confidence. mr. trump is going to promote his narrative. he certainly is going to continue to try to discredit the fbi and the cia and others. but, i think make no mistake about it, the american justice system, i think, is going to prevail in this endeavor to get to the bottom of who might have been collaborating and working with foreign actors to try to undermine the integrity of the election u. ed: dan, a lecture on justice from john brennan. >> john brennan. no single figure in america history has done more to discredit the intelligence community than this liar. not only is he a liar. he is a liar about being a liar. he has been -- guys, he has already busted lying. he said he didn't know about the dossier. yet, he briefed people up on the hill about elements of the dossier that then appeared in a letter to the fbi. he is lying. he is just making this up. one more thing by the way. he keeps avoiding this topic about foreign intelligence and his relationship with them. he's the one who met with british intelligence people. this is open reporting. this is already out there. what they call director level meetings and exchanged information about trump before this case was even started by the fbi. hey, john, why don't you tell us about that? he keeps avoiding that topic and switching it to trump. ed: dan bongino, appreciate you coming. in. abby: always fired up. good to see you, dan. good to see you. >> you too. abby: highly anticipated report on the fbi handling of the clinton email investigation is hit with a new delay. the senate judiciary committee pushing its hearing with inspector general michael horowitz to june 11th as we wait for the release of his report. the report to be released. byron york with the washington examiner explains the holdup. >> it is clearly being held up by redactions. by privacy concerns and by frankly, i think by feet being dragged at various places in the bureaucracy. >> interesting. abby: now we are being told horowitz' report may be released next week. uber driver accused of shooting and killing a passenger now under arrest. officials holding the driver michael hancock on suspicion of first degree murder. a witness telling police that the driver said the victim tried to attack him before he killed the 45-year-old rider. the suspect was hand cuffed at the scene in denver. uber says quote our thoughts are with the families of those involved and we'll continue working closely with police. yikes. former attorney general eric holder hinting at a 2020 showdown with president trump. listen. first and foremost, can i win?

second story here, louisiana passed some of the most strict abortion laws in the country, i believe. they are setting the limit at 15 weeks. tell us about this. >> well, what's interesting about this, is this was a democratic governor that actually signed this bill which just goes to show that the pro-life movement really shouldn't be a right or left issue. it is a human rights issue. unborn rights are human rights. 15 weeks an unborn child is already starting to look like his or her mother. they might already start to feel pain at this point. so this is a common sense decent human rights law. and i wish the rest of the country would follow suit. pete: alley, it's great to see streets taking the prerogative. you live there and vote for that and vote for people who support that good for you. >> exactly. pete: thank you for highlighting that story. third story here. so, california keeps acting like a country. it has now banned state funded travel to oklahoma because it considers the policies there discriminatory toward lbgt folks. what do you make of that?

criticize out president's growth plan because it is working. and it is working. you know, the president came to office saying i'm going to make america great again. and the keystone to that whole operation was deregulate and lower taxes. i did both. we are seeing evidence of that we are on the road to prosperity. the democrats cannot admit that going into the november elections. pete: cut

handoff. ended um being a two-hour meeting between these two. he came out with the president and talked with the media for a good 20, 30 minutes and said the summit is on june 12th in singapore. here is a bit of what he had though say. >> we'll be meeting on june 12th in singapore. it went very well. it really get to know you kind of a situation. we have gotten to know their people very well. and we will -- you people are going to have to travel because you will be in singapore on june 12th. i think it will be a process. i never said it goes in one meeting. i think it's going to be a process. but the relationships are building and that's a very positive thing. it will be a beginning. i don't see and have never said it happens in one meeting. you are talking about years of hostility, years of problems. years of really hatred between some different nations. art of the deal was a week ago. the president writes the other letter, the one in a smaller envelope that said, look, the summit is off. you got all this belligerent talk of nuclear war. kim jong un we are not going to be at the table until you fix that remember, remember what nancy pelosi said. she said because of that letter kim jong un was having a quote, unquote, giggle fit. and said kim jong un is the real winner here. that is what your democratic leader in the house of representatives said. that kim jong un is the real winner here. fast forward one week later and look at how it's turned. all of a sudden north korea is coming to us quite literally. first to new york to meet with secretary of state mike pompeo and

big, beautiful envelope. abby: ed, you know this from covering presidents in the past. you can't say he is not transparent. he stood out there 20, 30 minutes took every question from the press. you remember during the campaign days, hillary clinton went days and days and days, weeks and months without saying a word to the media. you can't complain and say he is not answering our questions. if anything, he wants to tell the media too much. his team is trying to pull him back and don't give all the information. peed peed is he setting expectations. june 12th is not going to be the be all end all. it's a process. we all have to root for this to work. ed: they are not going to give up missiles and rockets in one week. you hear the media saying this could take years. this is not done yet.

>> sure. i think that's part of it. the other thing is, look, what i find so fascinating is, it's one thing to talk about the merits of the person being pardoned. the crime they committed whether they served their time and they're remorseful and asked for forgiveness, et cetera. what's really unique about these set of circumstances regarding these pardons is that everyone is speculating about what they mean and trying to understand what crystal ball they may look through. whereas not looking at them on the merits of it when we talk about marc rich or bradley manning or et cetera, we talked about who they were and whether or not they deserved a pardon. what crime they have committed. we lost that discussion and set of partisan. wildly speculating what this might be mean and what we should be reading into all of this excepted for the fact that these individuals, the president feels as though they were treated unjustly or that they had served their time or a myriad of other reasons that he chose to pardon them. we lost the discussion about whether or not the person who has been pardoned was pardoned, you know, had paid their time. they were remorseful, et cetera, and goad on wild goose chases of speculation about what they may or may not mean in terms of something in the future. i think that's kind of what's been lost in this whole discussion. abby: sean, that never happens in our media landscape. >> crazy. abby: watching holder there though. i'm reminded i love your take on this. if he were to run for president who he has behind them as barack obama. two thick as thieves. calls them barack obama's wing man. makes me think about jeff sessions and president trump and how upset the president seems to be with jeff sessions. wishes he never hired him to begin with. is that the way it should be? should you be in partnership with the attorney general and the president? >> i think it's a lot deeper than that the attorney general should be somebody that the president can rely on as the nation's top law enforcement officer. i think there is a very different set of circumstances here in terms of whether or not the attorney general should have told the president he was going to recuse himself and made that very clear before he took the job and went through the nomination process. but i do think that you should have an attorney general that is loyal to you, that understands the relationship and the events that are coming up and what it's going to take to go forward. if you come into a job and immediately recusing yourself, the question is are you the best person for that job to provide counsel to the administration, the president, and the american people. i think that's a decision that each president has to make for themselves as well as each candidate for attorney general. pete: briefly, play political stock picker for me. is eric holder a viable candidate in 2020. >> absolutely. there is no question about it i think he has a unique space as he just demonstrated. he can talk about, you know, an area of service and a niche in terms of pardons and justice that no one else can because of his background. i think when you are going to have a ton of elected officials running talk about unique set of experiences, he carves out a very unique space. remember, because i truly do believe you are going to have 202, 5 people. credible candidates running on the dem side you don't need to get 30, 40, 50% out of the gate. you just need 7, 8, 9, 10% and you are a very viable candidate. i do think the next segment this whole ms-13 and whether or not people date. i heard that tease. i'm thinking to myself my gosh, i'm glad i'm married. abby: so true. pete: interesting stuff. abby: roseanne and joy reid under fire. roseanne fired. okay with apology: pete: the 30-year-old convicted millennial has finally left his parent's house. is that his bike in the back of the car?

if joy reid really means the apology, i think that's a meaningful thing for her to do and people should accept it. ed: antwon, what say you? >> the only reason we are even having this discussion because there are people on the right who refuse to reject and denounce racism, bigotry and hate. and quite frankly, the red meat white wing toned down racist rhetoric is politically popular on the right. instead of denouncing that people on the right rather distract with something joy reid said 10 years ago who quite frankly was just in a political opinion and many people around here have indicated she has evolved over time. so, it's very unfortunate that we having this discussion. i find more distraction by the right. ed: pardon me let you jump in on the joy reid part. you are claiming that people on the right are not denouncing racism. i heard roseanne get pillarried from everybody from left to right. >> i attacked her. ed: for saying something racist including matt schlapp. >> let me be clear, the president of the united states refused to denounce and reject same bigotry and hate and it starts from the top there are a lot of other people who are in support of roseanne saying she should not have been fired. saying her comments were not wrong. justifying her comments as if they were okay and we all know that they are not. ed: matt? >> yeah, i think this is so interesting. joy reid said hateful and terrible things, things about guys, things about jews in the state of israel. things about almost every group you can imagine. and it was 10 years ago, it was before she was a national political or at least media figure. and i think it's okay to say look, this happened. she apologizes. don't you love it what they do with donald trump, anto ant jps juan. you try to equate him with being a racist. try to equate him with being a white supremacist. >> no, no. >> it's not going to work. >> matt, matt, matt, that's not what i'm saying. i said he refused to reject bigotry and hate. >> that's wrong. look at his policies. lowest unemployment rate for african-americans. >> matt, what does that have to do with anything?

(wienermobile horn) >> not only absolutely great number. this is one of the best monthly numbers i have ever seen for black people, ever. the unemployment rate for black people went from 6.6 to 5.9%. absolutely the lowest ever. but, here's the kicker. labor participation, 76,000 blacks came into the labor mark. every other race saw people leave the labor mark. absolutely unbelievable stuff. pete: historic numbers coming in yesterday. here to react candace owens turning point u.s.a. you continue to hit the trail to amazing crowds which i see online. well done. >> thank you. pete: what do you make of numbers historically low overall but for blacks. >> wonderful news. cannot be overstated what this president has done for the black community. hope is inspiring and economic growth he has inspired within this country. i have heard antjuan say in the last segment thank you obama. that's a delusional comment. either he doesn't understand economic policy or he doesn't want to. but this is directly correlated to the work he has done to shrink government and to slash regulations and i'm just so proud and it's a great time to be a black american. i will tell you that much. abby: what more needs to be done. >> he needs to continue down the same path he is on. best thing we can do is get the message out there to the black community. when you see that that's why when i getdown set when someone like antjuan says thank you, obama. and pretends this is not something that the president has done. pete: racist and racist policy how do you bridge that. >> destroy the left's rhetoric. they use fear politicking to strap black people into this helplessness and to more food stamps. they say that's a plus. right? but black unemployment, that's a low. then when they acknowledge it's a positive, they say that's because of obama because they think that black individuals aren't smart enough to understand economic policy. abby: i don't know if you have seen. pete: powerful. abby: some of our teases on the show we wanted to ask you particularly about this. students were asked who they would rather gang an -- this is not a joke, an ms-13 gang member or trump supporter. watch how this played out. >> oh, gang member. >> give me the gang member. >> i'm going to go ms-13. >> yeah. probably ms-13 member. >> neither. i will stay single. >> i guess a trump supporter because i guess at least they stand for something. >> why an ms-13 member. >> i lived in bolivia i understand a little bit of the culture. >> a lot of trump supporters were probably raised by rich white dads and have lots of money and bread into being trump supporters. >> one trump supporter they would date because at least he stands for something. >> i'm not surprised whatsoever. like you said, it's not a joke. we con front this all the time on college campuses. there is a departure from reality that is going on. abby: do they know what an ms-13 is. >> they do know. they know these individuals rape. they know these individuals kill. we saw they defended these individuals against being called animals but they are very happy when trump supporters are called racists and sexist and a bunch of different names. and this is directly leans to the left rhetoric and the left which perpetuate this. there is massive brainwashing they are trying to do and reinforcing. we see this all the time. abby: roseanne bar last week yeah there may be a double standard. the hate speech is across the board and a problem we have right now and as a country got to figure out how to stop all the hate. >> that's what we are trying to do. go on college campuses and say look i support donald trump. do you really believe i'm a racist and i'm a sexist i'm a misogynist? i'm telling my story. we try to normalize the conversation and say you don't have to support donald trump. can you be a little more realistic in terms of the people that do? pete: you are a trump supporter. can we confirm on that last segment were you raised by a rich white man. >> irs not raised by a rich white man. pete: i wanted to check. chris matthews says you have to play golf and read the "wall street journal." >> i don't play golf. i do read the "wall street journal." there might be something there if you want to take me down that path. abby: totally wrong. pete: candace, thank you. >> thank you, guys. abby: two suspects are charged with murdering a tennessee deputy now could face the death penalty. steven wiggins and erika castro miles are accused of killing officer baker after a 48 hour manhunt wiggins was captured by highway patrol trooper. using baker's handcuffs to arrest wiggins. 10 year veteran of the force found shot dead in patrol car after responding to 911 call about a suspicious vehicle. also, this parents facing prison time for giving thirteen marijuana to treat his alleged seizures. georgia police arresting susanna and matthew brill for reckless tip smoking weed. his parents said kept him seizure free for knee nearly three months. here is what they say. >> nothing else was working. i can't have my kid dying because nobody wants to listen. i wasn't abusing my son. i was taking care of my son. abby: the parents no longer have custody of their son. marijuana is illegal in georgia it is legal to treat seizures with cannabis oil. >> finally leaving his parent's home if you can believe it not before calling the cops on his dad on missing legos. mike co-rotan dough says he believed his 8-year-old son's toys were in the basement. his father would not allow him to look for them. legos were found after police arrived. taken to court after asking him to move out five different times. he plans to eventually move in with a cousin. the story gets better and better. pete: my legos?

let's ask former state department foreign service officer and senior contributor bart. thank you very much for being here this morning. we appreciate your time. >> thank you, pete. pete: brass tax, wha tacks whats to happen here. >> ultimate what denuclearization means. we had a lot of back and forth about this. ambassador bolton went on tv and talked about the libya model. and the russian media took that and blew it up. the north koreans took and it freaked out over it because, when they heard libya model. they thought well, qaddafi got killed. but what bolton was talking about was what pompeo called complete and irreversible denuclearization. you give up the weapons, the bombs, the missiles, the rockets, components, fissile material. pete: that is kim jong un's security blanket. without his nukes, without his missiles, he doesn't have a deterrence to the west. is that true and can we get to that complete taking away of nukes? >> yeah. i think we can. and i think that premise is false. and i think that kim is just now starting to realize he has fallen into what i call the nuclear trap. he thought, let me develop some nuclear weapons and some delivery systems. and then can i hold the west hostage. and president trump undercut that with a single tweet saying i have a bigger button. mine is bigger and mine works. what he is saying -- neither is russia. you are on your own and your six or 10 or 20 weapons are nothing compared to our arsenal. if you even think about it, you will be killed. and that is what has brought kim jong un to the negotiating table is fear of death. pete: the fire and fury. the true belief that america would do what it needs to do to defend itself and get rid of them in the process. how important are sanctions here, keeping them on or ratcheting them up, even, throughout the process? >> absolutely critical. that's another thing that -- i mean, our biggest weapon in all of this is presidential resolve. knowing that president trump will do what he says he will do. and he proved it with the sanctions. everybody else has always said oh, you can't confront china when we're worried about north korea. we have other interests with china and we have to make sure they are happy so they will work with us on north korea. president trump said no, this is america first. and he confronted china over sanctions breaking. he con fronted north korea. he confronted everybody. and suddenly, for the first time, sanctions really took a bite and they were harming the koreans. pete: you talk about america first. looking at it through that lens. briefly, what's the biggest take away you are looking for if and when the summit happens on june 12th? >> as president trump said you can't expect denuclearization with a single meeting. i think what you have to look for is north korean internal propaganda, starting to sell the idea to their people that denuclearization is good. if you see organized parades and demonstrations and editorials in the state media, praising denuclearization, then you feel like, yes,. pete: interesting. >> we are making progress. have to pump the message into the populist that's been brain washed so long. >> absolutely. pete: thank you. >> it was a pleasure. thank you for having me. pete: our pleasure as well. former cia director john brennan furthering his attacks on president trump. >> i think mr. trump has demonstrated a paranoia and security real concern about the investigation underway. pete: he says he is not going to stop. plus, facebook ditching its trending topic and getting ready to launch a new breaking news model. but after conservative censorship, will they be able to get it right this time?

that's how it is. they then install an algorithm that says we got rid of the human error there and algorithm was a nightmare in and of itself. where we are going next is pretty good. it's a win for big media companies like fox news. like our competitors at cnn. because they are now going to have a much stronger, bigger participation and voice inside of the idea of what news is on the facebook platform. so,. abby: they can also put the blame on somebody else. that was a different media outlet. >> abby is thinking ahead. is he washing his hands of it again saying oh, well that was fox news -- oh, that was cnn. so, really smart move on facebook's part but, again, i think what you see when w. all the commercials -- you can't turn on the tv right now without seeing facebook commercials saying oopsy, but you will trust us again. watch what we are doing. i think this is a giant campaign to regain credibility with the world population. pete: how do we know who they are choosing?

camping month. i went camping in a tent for three days, we tubed down the river. we didn't shower. we didn't change clothes. we were super smelly. pete. ed: you could have left that out. pete: normal day you have to sit next to me. plaza talk about it. ed: i was about to say it's funny you have a shot of me. if you go camping with your family you are the one who sweeps up and whatnot. everyone has a job. remember how you tried to show us how to use a broom? you had clearly never used one? pete: have you ever been camping? ed: no. abby: have you never been camping before? ed: i come from long island. abby: we should do a "fox & friends weekend" road trip. pete: in an rv. abby: how would you survive you? would have pete by your side. pete could help you. ed: survivor "fox & friends weekend." abby: oh my gosh. what do you think? should we take a camping trip? friends@foxnews.com. good morning to all of you. happy saturday morning. we have a lot of news to get. to say starting with a fox news alert. historic north korean summit, it is back on. ed: top official from the country hand delivering a letter in a very large envelope from kim jong un to the white house to seal the deal. correct? pete: depiction. rich edson is in washington with the latest. >> good morning, they met for more than an hour in the oval office. president and north korean vice chairman. when they emerged, president trump announced officially that his meeting with kim jong un june 12th in singapore as originally planned. vice chairman kim young chol is the first official in north korea in the white house in 18 years. he originally flew to new york to meet secretary of state mike pompeo. kim brought with him a letter from kim jong un to president trump and instructions to deliver it ultimately, his ticket to the white house. >> it was a very interesting letter. and at some point i may be -- it may be appropriate. i will be able to give to you, maybe. you will be able to see it really, this was a letter presentation that ended up being a two-hour conversation. >> the president says the u.s. is suspending additional sanctions against north korea pends the outcome of this summit. officials say the u.s. is still applying previously implemented sanctions against north korea. the president says the two did not discuss human rights yesterday. though noted the june 12th summit will likely start a long process of negotiations. back to you. abby: all right. rich edson live for us. as of now, things seem to change every day. the summit is still going on. you will be in singapore june 129. the president is setting the expectations right. saying this is just the first of what we hope to be many, many meetings together. this is talk of ending potentially a 70-year war. ed: democrats saying is he not going to get this done on june 4th. if you move the ball forward, a lot farther forward than barack obama ever did, for example, or any republican or democratic president. abby: i think we are already there we are already much further along. pete: of course, ed gets to go to singapore. ed: i haven't been camping but i have been to singapore. pete: resistance as you know continues here and former cia director john brennan continues to audition as captain for the resistance. he gave an interview talking about president trump, talking about paranoia and insecurity. listen to john brennan. >> i think mr. trump has demonstrated a paranoia, an insecurity. as well as a real concern about the investigation that is underway. certainly his tweets do not seem like they are coming from a person of innocence and confidence. mr. trump is going to promote his narrative. he certainly is going to continue to try to discredit the fbi and the cia and others. but, i think make no mistake about it, the american justice system, i think, is going to prevail in this endid he ever to get to the bottom of who might have been collaborating and working with foreign actors to try to undermine the integrity of the elections. ed: i saw that interview and the number of times he said mr. trump, deliberately not calling him the president. not accepting he is the president is ridiculous. number one. number two, to repeatedly attack the president of the united states to say is he politicizing the intelligence commu and all of, this when, in fact, as the former cia director, you are supposed to be nonpartisan, he clearly was a political actor here in terms of how he handled the dossier and other things and just what he is saying now. and you haven't seen this from cia directors in any administration. democrat or republican. he is out there partisan attacks on the president left and right. abby: can you expect to keep hearing from him. he says until integrity is brought back to the white house. is he going to keep speaking outs. >> great point. i saw a lot recently about the morale at the cia and fbi. you think beyond just the folks at the top. some of the bad apples that we have seen. have you thousands and thousands of employees that are there for the right reasons. trying to fight and do the job for the country. you wonder how they are feeling whether you have folks like john brennan who used to run the cia who are so political and opinionate opinionated. ed: james comey at the fbi and andy mccabe. it's not just the cia it's the fbi. rank and file at the top. pete: disspirited by trump attacks. you are disspirited by leaders politicizing those departments. you want straight shooters at the top. general brennan better be right. he in the middle of all of this. there is more to come out. what he says now will be used against him in or outside the court of law. he seems to think he is the arbiter of truth. we will find out because the truth usually exposes itself. former attorney general michael mukasey had some interesting comments. he knows about these realms. he had some comments on john brennan. listen. >> maybe should told to stick to his day job. the trouble is, i think given what we're finding out about the way he did his day job. including his participation and putting informant into the trump campaign, maybe we're better off with him as kind of an amateur pundit. i think he may be projecting his own views, if i may be an amateur psychiatrist for the moment, on to the president. because he is going to have a lot to answer for. i believe when the entire story gets told about what the cia was doing in connection with the running of the investigation and what it was doing with regard to what had been its informant. pete: i like it with michael mukasey says what i said even though i didn't know he was going to say it. he is going to have a lot to answer for if is he wrong. abby: that's exactly right. what he also said he is putting his own personal political beliefs on all of this. that's a dangerous place to be especially when you are a role. >> interesting another bigster this week is the president again trying to negotiate better trade deals. fairer trade for america. something he talked about in the campaign again and again. he instituted these new tariffs for steel and aluminum even against allies not just battling china. also taking on canada. taking on various european allies as well as mexico. and justin trudeau, the prime minister very closely aligned with barack obama has been attacking this president on climate change and other issues. look, he is standing up for his country the way president trump is standing up for our country and can you understand that on one manned. on the other hand, he tapes this interview for this week's meet the press on ntsb. he seems to go a lot further and takes this into a very nasty. pete: one issue to take issue trade tariffs battle. another thing to say it's about the troops. listen. >> our soldiers, who had fought and died together on the beaches of world war ii. on the mountains of afghanistan. and have stood shoulder to shoulder in. so most difficult places in the world, that are always there for each other, somehow this is insulting to them. the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable. pete: yeah. abby: pulls at the heart strings. that's what he is trying to do remind his people that we have all worked together so closely. and what the president has said from the beginning he has not been a fan of nafta. he says we continue to get the short end of the stick. this has been what i have been fighting for. this is why i wanted to become president. people shouldn't be surprised. he has been following through on some of these from the very beginning. pete: someone who has stood shoulder to shoulder literally with troops from canada many of which are wonderful. this type of back and forth on trade has nothing to do with an alliance that's been around for a long time. i'm grateful for a lot of service of canadian troops. unfortunately their government puts a lot of caveats on them and often can't be in combat the way they want to be which is a whole other issue. come on justin from canada, can you do better than that. abby: we will see where this ends though because macron says this is illegal. a lot of people unhappy. pete: wait, are there international police? it's not legal if we want to do it. that's my opinion. abby: we will see. a lot going on this morning. i want to bring you other headlines. a man dies after pushing kids out of the way when a car barrels down a baseball field. >> oh my god. >> get off the field. that. >> sun real. witnesses say a woman drove her woman through a stadium gate that the man was trying to close. the 68-year-old died on the way to the hospital in maine. so sad. police arresting and charging the driver carol, seen right here with manslaughter. the motive is still under investigation. also this: defense secretary james mattis slamming china for militarizing artificial islands in the south china sea. listen. >> despite china's claim to the contrary, the placement of these weapon systems is tied directly to military use for uses of intimidation and coercion. it calls into question china's broader goals. abby: mattis warning of much larger consequences if the country ignores. making those remarks overnight at international security forum in singapore. also, listen to this story, annual uber driver accused of shooting and killing a passenger now under arrest. officials holding the driver michael hancock on suspicion of first degree murder. you can see him right there. a witness telling police that the driver said the victim tried to attack him before he killed the passenger. the suspect was handcuffed at the scene in denver. uber says, quote: our thoughts are with the families of those involved. and we will continual working closely with police. and president trump praising america's first line of defense as the coast guard welcome as new commander. >> america is safe because our coast guard is strong. these are exciting times for america. we are being respected again. we're being respected abroad. abby: admiral

white house chair of the council of economic advisors kevin hassett. >> i don't want to completely let the president off the hook. do you get this information the night before. do you know there is a protocol where you are not supposed to reveal this information and potentially move the market ahead of that 8:30 a.m. eastern release of the jobs numbers. on the other hand, it seems like there is an awful lot of people in the media who want to focus on that instead of the fact that there was good news here. >> right. and, nnkts, th in fact the newss astonishing. strongest labor market we have seen in many years. we have to go all the way back to 1970 to see sustained periods of unemployment this low and wage growth really picking up. i think there are a lot of people in the media that don't want to cover the good news of donald trump's economy. they are looking for something to say the president, let's look at what he says. he says i'm looking forward to seeing the data. of course is he looking forward to seeing the data. that's what you want in the commander-in-chief. you want someone looking forward to see it i get the point we don't want him tweeting before every release. oh, hey, guys, don't bother looking at the data tomorrow. stuff like that. of course that would be out of hand. that's not what happened. we also went back and looked at previous administrations. there are many episodes where previous administrations actually did something way worse than what president trump did and nobody noticed. ed: interesting. speaking of tweets a few moments ago i saw the president tweet you had from camp david that the "new york times" actually had a headline saying we ran out of positive words. we ran out of amazing adjectives, basically, to explain how good this economy is that's a pretty good place for this president to be. >> let's put it in perspective. so if we go back all the way to 1970. there have been seven months where we have had the unemployment rate below 4. we just had two of them. that's how good the economy is think all the back back to 1970, there have been ups and downs and ronald reagan's economy. we are doing that for good reasons. president trump changed a bunch of failed policing. dereguladeregulating. ed: i'm glad you mentioned barack obama. this week we saw a quote from him basically saying i set things up for donald trump. and then basically this is an obama recovery and you are enjoying the fruits of it. >> you know, that's just false. the fact is that the obama economy in the last two years was barrelly struggling along to grow around 2%. the obama economists like larry summers were telling us we had this thing called secular stagnation which was this new normal where we are going to have low growth forever. it

doesn't this just further spread them apart? >> well, history has shown that when people take this approach, then crime seems to usually increase. because word gets out, nobody around here is going to tell the cops what's going on. and sometimes that empowers those that want to do illegal actions to really go further than what they would ever go before. pete: that's a great point. >> they have really got to think through this whole strategy and it concerns me. you know, in the bible in matthew 26, when peter went and said "i'm going to cut off the ear of this guard." very quickly jesus corrected him and said, "stop." you know, "don't do this." it challenges authorities to say hey, live a certain way with the power you have been given. nowhere does it say get out of our community we are going to do this ourselves. the church needs the police as often as i'm called on the police needs the church. pete: sure. >> this is not versus police and she is not the mouthpiece for the church. let me say that. pete: that's a great point. other churches have joined. this reached out for oakland police department. waiting for a response from them. part of the rationale this church put out. direct quote from a church online. no more state sponsored crucifixions in the name of safety. this pastor, this church is saying when a police officer makes a call, they are crucifying people. that seems just outright sacrilegious. >> i don't know any clergy member and sometimes as clergy i wish we could police each other as clergy, hold each other accountable for our statements but some people get a mike, get attention, get a camera on them and say what they feel at that moment. but, i think they really need to think through this because this could be really dangerous for their community, dangerous for their congregation. sorkts they wilso, they will dee in my prayers. if we could reach them i would love to communicate with them hey, i could show you real life examples where this has gone really bad and you don't need to walk down that road. abby: pastor, you speak from experience. i love to have you here. you have your own past. you were a dug dealer. >> yes. abby: before you found religion and that completely changed your life. >> the streets are something i do know. wrote a book called "street god." i don't want to relive that and don't want their community to relive that i was hip on the news, i would be like what? all right, guys, set up on this block, set up on that block. go over there. they are going to cover us and watch our back. nobody is going to call and then homicides increase, violence increase. then that person, that pastor who probably -- will probably be in because crying saying what did i kind of lead here instead of leading the right way. pete: sometimes we have segments we don't have the right guest. this time we had the absolute perfect guest for this topic. thank you for your time. >> thank you. love you all. absolutely. pete: president trump pardo pardoning filmmaker dinesh d'souza. could another name soon get added to his list. we are going to add the case of army officer clint lore low lowrance. abby: we are showing you how to ramp up your camp fire. pete: steak on the fire. ♪ the heat is on ♪ it's on the street ♪ the heat is ♪ on ♪ if these packs have the same number of bladder leak pads, i bet you think bigger is better. actually, it's bulkier. always discreet quickly turns liquid to gel, for drier protection that's a lot less bulky. always discreet. abby: can you smell the camp fire?

geraldo: after 22 assignments to iraq and afghanistan all i can tell you is you don't want to sleep in the same tent as your six foot four inch brother, who weighs 250 pounds it takes up most of it. i just remember one-time going on patrol and coming back and we had forgotten to zip our camp and all that sand fine sand i was getting it out of my sleeping bag for the next 10 years. pete: very true. i can understand that no doubt. well, we got, you look tired. we look tired. there's so much winning that we're all tired. big jobs number yesterday, coming out, 223,000 jobs added in may, april revised upward as well, 3.8 unemployment rate lowest in 18 years that labor participation rate at very high levels and that gdp estimate geraldo almost 5% which barely feels like it would be real we were hoping for three those numbers look fantastic. geraldo: you know i stunned some people who looked at me yesterday when i said i thought yesterday was donald trump's best day as president. i really do believe that. first and foremost, it's the economy and when you see these results, they are undeniable. not only is there, you know, tremendous growth. it is also widespread. it is a rising tide and indeed, it is lifting all ships. when you look at minority unemployment, that is historic. i mean, when push comes to shove , people have to determine whether the democratic idea of liberalism or the republican idea of the private sector do its thing which will benefit the communities most in need, most effectively and when you see african unemployment at these record lows when you see latino unemployment at these record lows, when you see wages finally ticking up, meaning that the boom is now becoming much more inclusive, i think these are undeniable successes and when you combine it with what happened with the north koreans yesterday, i just think that this is the president is on track. abby: we want to get to that but just to give people a bigger sense of what we saw come out yesterday in this report, this is retail. this is just in the past month. 31,000 healthcare, 29,000 construction is a big one for the president 25,000, manufacturing 18,000, and transportation 19,000. geraldo it's interesting because i talked to friends who a lot of them are democrats and they say actually the credit doesn't go to president trump. this goes back to barack obama and the policies that he put in place in his eight years in office. how do you explain why we are in this place right now? why things are going so well? geraldo: i certainly do not deny in any way the contributions of the obama administration to get out of the deep hole we were in in 2008. i remember losing half my wealth in the various markets and it was such a stunning awful time, a pessamistic time in america's existence and then his policies and i don't take anything away from him, really started a recovery but there is no doubt that donald trump has been the principal cheerleader for this economy. it is remember if you ever took the old concord when they hit the afterburners and suddenly what was already moving pretty fast was accelerating? i think that's the american economy now and i think that the tax cuts clearly have helped even if you have minimal personal benefit, there is no doubt that that psychologically there is confidence in the economy now which means people are investing when they are investing they are creating jobs i think, and i don't want people to get mad at me, but -- abby: no one is ever mad at you geraldo. geraldo: today maybe, not yet but here we go. pete: [laughter] geraldo: i believe that this economy, and i've heard from many many employers groups they're having difficulty finding employees. it's hard to find workers particularly in the agriculture sector. some of the light manufacturing jobs. generally speaking when there is a tremendous demand for labor there is less pressure on the immigration front than there usually is. ed: and yesterday nancy pelosi yesterday said these jobs number s aren't good enough and she last week when we moved to a different topic in north korea last week when president trump wrote that letter saying i'm pulling out of the summit, kim jong-un enough is enough and got tough with him, nancy pelosi said that the real winner was kim jong-un. well, a week later that doesn't appear to be true. geraldo: i think the former speaker is way out of line and it's like she's breathing helium or something. ed: [laughter] geraldo: i want to finish my other thought and then i'm going to go back to nancy pelosi and kim jong-un and what happened with the north koreans. i think that the united states has to vastly liberalize immigration policy on a temporary basis to get seasonal workers in. pete: but wages go up. why would we do that when wages could go up for american citizens here to do jobs they're underpaid for. geraldo: you have to do both, pete. you have to look at it as this is not a zero sum game. wages go up for skilled workers. skilled workers no longer want to work in unskilled positions. whose going to pick the avocados , whose going to babysit , whose going to mow the lawn and wish the dishes in the restaurant, i think there should be liberal legal immigration rather than campaigning on a seasonal passes. going to be north korea if i may , so this, you know, i am old enough so the korean war has been on for my entire life. when president trump said yesterday, do you believe we're talking about the end of the korean war, that was a thrilling moment to me. that was unbelievable that he could really pull this off, with all the any saying and all the abrupt letter withdrawing from the negotiations eight days ago and suddenly the negotiations are back on and kim sent him i don't know what was it a valentine's card i'm not sure what that big envelope contained but this is spectacular. this is historic. this is with jimmy carter at camp david in the 70s ending the conflict between egypt and israel. this is gigantic. abby: and is he smart to set the expectations to say that this is the first meeting this is not going to be the end of it all? it's not like we'll have the unification of korea and denuclearization all at once, because he knows that the reaction from the media if it is not complete success out of the singapore meeting then people are talking about the failure. geraldo: very wise abbey i absolutely agree with your analysis and i think what happened yesterday if you noticed it was subtle but aside from the historic couching of the event, he also lowered expectations. he also the secondary headline was, june 12 will be the beginning of something, not the end of something, he used the word "process" time and time again, very measured. i think that his negotiating tactics and strategies so far has been brilliant and i just think that we're on a good place right now and i just wish that some of these voices, and that's why that samantha bee and the roseanne barr and all those controversies are such a distraction. pete: it is. geraldo: if we could all be pulling together. abby: we're all americans. geraldo: let's go camping. pete: let's have a national camp ing trip. abby: geraldo good to see you though. a lot going on this morning other headlines we're following let me bring you those. a man dies after pushing kids out of the way an unbelievable story when a car barrels down a baseball field. watch this. >> oh, my god. >> get off-the-field. abby: this is absolutely horrible witnesses say a woman drove her car through a stadium gate. the man was trying to close, well the 68 year old died on the way to the hospital in maine. police arresting and charging this driver, carol sharrow, with manslaughter and the motive is still under investigation. also this, an uber driver accused of shooting and killing a passenger now under arrest. officials holding the driver michael hancock on suspicion of first degree murder. the driver telling a witness that the passenger tried to attack him before he killed the victim. the suspect was handcuffed at the scene in denver. uber is saying, "our thoughts are with the families of those involved and we will continue working closely with police." and president trump's long promised border wall is one step closer to completion. president trump: build that wall build that wall. build that wall. do not worry. we are going to build the wall okay?

how critical is that date? the president seems to be still embracing that >> the president wants the meeting but the north koreans have to have it. they need sanctions relief, they want the u.s. not to strike their missile and nuke facilities. there are all sorts of things that kim needs. so the united states if we don't have the meeting there are a number of things we can do to push the north koreans and big power sponsors russia and china in better directions. the meeting is not that critical for us but it is certainly for the north koreans. >> sandra: when it comes to the actual summit, whether that happens on june 12th or possibly some days thereafter, how would success be defined when that meeting actually takes place, if it does? >> success from an american point of view is to have a communique which the north koreans say willing to give up nuclear weapons, willing to give up all their ballistic missiles. not just the long-range ones and give an accounting for the japanese abductees. and there are verification promises. and these will have to hold the north koreans to. that will be critical will be verification. >> sandra: bring us inside that room as we continue to see some of these images of -- there is the picture of mike pompeo sitting down with the north korean official last night. they kind on american beef we're told as well as cheese and corn and other things. a couple images came out of that dinner last evening. everybody raising their glasses. looks like a toast took place. this was all prior to these critical meetings happening this morning and through the day. what do you think that conversation is at that table this morning as they begin talking? >> i think it's very difficult. remember, kim yong chol is a veteran. he has been through all of the wars with north korea and so he has a lot of blood on his hands, too. he was the head of the reconnaissance general bureau. a lot of things that group did which the united states has real difficulties with. sinking the south koreans in 2010. a sony hack, a number of other things. this is a hard conversation for the secretary of state to have with someone who is an avowed enemy of the united states. both sides realize that they can do a lot of good so i think it will be a very difficult conversation because the two sides are really far apart right now from what we can tell. >> sandra: as mike pompeo tweeted out with the images. good working dinner last night. administration sounds optimistic about the summit taking place. gordon chang, great to get your perspective this morning. >> has there ever been this much drama and intrigue about a planned meeting between two heads of state?

>> that is a pretty remarkable contradiction. you have a guy that goes out and complains about how divided the country is politically and follows that up by saying and don't vote democrat, whatever you do. it is just so telling, so indicative about how bad, really, our politics have become. this is something that most christian leaders would never have done even a decade ago. the idea that you would go out and stump against one party and you would go out and tell half of the country i'm not interested in you. i'm against you, i'm for these guys is really telling about what has happened with evangelical christians and politics in the united states and also probably why the founders were so intent on keeping politics and government out of religion. >> sandra: he has a big message. our country is in trouble. your state is in trouble. you know that. franklin graham went on to say. there are things we can do. you know god hears prayer. it will be interesting to see, chris, if his message resonates with residents of that state. 20% of california's population according to the latest pew research data are evangelicals. do you expect he will get anywhere with this? >> i'm sure there are districts and places where he can go and fire up the base and save a seat or two. the republicans are lined up to experience some substantial losses in california this year. a chance for them in a few districts because of a technicality the democrats might get locked out. a couple places in southern california because of their screwy my prayer system. in general it's a bad year for republicans in california. there aren't many left. but graham can probably do something for the party loyal, for the faithful to go out and fire them out and get them to go vote >> sandra: interesting stuff. thank you for your time, sir. great to have you on. >> rick: you might have heard abc canned her show. roseanne barr might not be done. she appears to be gearing up for a fight with her former network. plus a possible truce with the taliban. u.s. marines have the terror cell leaders wanting to talk peace. ♪ ♪ fight security threats 60 times faster with ai that sees threats coming. the ibm cloud. the cloud for smarter business. 4 out of 5 people who have a stroke, their first symptom... is a stroke. 80 percent of all strokes and heart disease?

the answer could be yes. she is a major moneymaker and there is a lot of support for her some people saying she was fired because she was a conservative. others saying she crossed the line about what she said about valerie jarrett. >> rick: why didn't they kill her off on the show and keep the show for all the other actors who are out of work? >> what would the show be called? i don't know. what is john goodman's characters name? >> this came up at the white house press briefing yesterday and sarah sanders talked about this. let's listen to that. >> the president calling out the media bias. no one is defending what she said. the president is pointing the hypocrisy in the media saying the most horrible things about this president and nobody addresses it. >> so there is a problem here. sarah sanders ticked off a bunch of examples why she thinks the president deserves an apology from bob iger. the problem here is that jamele hill was suspended and brian ross was suspended for his false report. they didn't get away scot-free. the president is still very much involved in the story. this just in he recently tweeted that he wants an apology. he said iger, where is my call of apology? you and abc have offended millions of people and they demand a response. how is brian ross doing? he tanks the market with an abc lie yet no apology, double standard. he, of course, says it's a double standard. a lot of conservatives say it is, too. >> rick: the network apologized. >> but not directly to the president. i don't think he will get that phone call. >> rick: john goodman tweeted about this. >> he was asked for his response and he said that he would like to remain silent. but he also said that he wasn't going to get an emmy award anyway. he made light of it. i think roseanne might stand to have gained by maybe cutting back on the tweets a little bit and remaining silent herself. >> rick: do you think she has a shot at a comeback? >> i didn't think kathy griffin had a shot at a comeback and she is on her comeback tour right now. who knows a year from now, six months from now, the tide might turn. >> carly, thanks very much. >> sandra: the trump administration hopeful this morning that the historic singapore summit will still happen on that june 12th date. secretary mike pompeo meeting with a top official from north korea at this moment. can that summit be saved? former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski, he is here to give us his take next. >> rick: and as the president heads to texas right now to meet with the victims of the sante fe shooting, one young boy expressed his concern over school safety to white house press secretary sarah sanders. >> as a kid and certainly as a parent, there is nothing that could be more terrifying for a kid to go to school and not feel safe. so i'm sorry that you feel that way. after that we moved to georgia for a couple years. then we spent some time in korea- mmm seaweed snacks. and now we live here for good. our members call many places home, oh, lots of questions. so we made owning a home easier. navy federal credit union open to the armed forces, the dod, veterans, and their families. today's senior living communities have never been better, with amazing amenities like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. and there's never been an easier way to get great advice. a place for mom is a free service that pairs you with a local advisor to help you sort through your options and find a perfect place. a place for mom. you know your family we know senior living. together we'll make the right choice. >> sandra: moments ago president trump boarded air force one on his way down to texas. he has been tweeting throughout the morning and he just tweeted this. what appeared to be on board the flight. he wrote, will be giving a full pardon to desusa today. treated unfairly by our government. he is the conservative author who you will remember pleaded guilty but did not serve prison time for violating campaign finance laws in 2014. the president just putting that out there a few moments ago. >> president trump: we're doing very well with north korea. our secretary of state has had very good meetings. he is meeting again today. a letter is going to be delivered to me from kim jong-un. so i look forward to seeing what is in the letter. hopefully we'll have a meeting on the 12th. it is going along very well. i want it to be meaningful. it doesn't mean it gets all done at one meeting. maybe you need a second or third and maybe we'll have none. but it's in good hands. >> sandra: that's president trump just a few moments ago as the high-stakes meeting is happening at this hour between secretary of state mike pompeo and the former north korean intelligence chief as both sides try to salvage the summit between president trump and the north korean dictator kim jong-un. corey lewandowski is the former trump campaign manager and co-author of the book "let trump be trump." a big moment and day for this presidency. >> it is. if you looked at secretary pompeo is in new york meeting with a high-ranking government official from north korea making sure if the meeting takes place on the 12th if singapore everybody agrees it is for the best interests of the united states and what secretary pompeo is there to do. the issue of denuclearization is the most important issue. if north korea is willing to have that conversation, this president is willing to come to the table and have that. by the way, sandra, this is the first time -- i know the media overlooks this -- that a potential meeting to take place between these two world leaders could happen and this president doesn't get enough credit for even having the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation. >> sandra: is that the frustration you hear from the president? let's talk about this june 12th date first of all. first, you know, it was on, then off. now the president just a few moments ago said he is expecting a letter from kim jong-un by friday to him. how important is that date to the president? is he willing to push it back beyond then? >> i don't -- i think the date is completely arbitrary. the more important issue here is making sure that north korea understands the pressure that the united states has put on them and the maximum campaign that we have put in place to make sure that they are going to denuclearize. every president has tried to get it done in the last 30 years. previous administrations have taken pallets of cash and given it to north korea and said please don't have a nuclear program and they laughed at us. this president is very different. if north korea is not willing to come to the table and be adamant in their results at denuclearizing the peninsula i don't know if we're willing to sit down. this is very important not just to the north korean peninsula but the entire world. >> sandra: how big a win is this for the president so far >> a major victory. he doesn't get the credit he deserves. he is the first president in the history of our country willing to sit down with the north korean leader and the media at first said the meeting would never happen. then they said he wouldn't be prepared. now the meeting may be back on and they say well, it won't get all done at once. he just doesn't get the credit he deserves for all the great work he is doing on both the domestic and foreign policy front and that's a shameful side of the fake news. >> sandra: corey, it appears that the picture being painted by the administration leading up to this potential meeting is rosie. we have the meeting taking place today. that looks good. they're sitting down right now in new york city pompeo and this former spy chief, the second in line to kim jong-un. you know, is perhaps the optimism building too much? this whole meeting could fall through. and never happen. >> it could absolutely fall through. this president has been clear. if it happens, it happens. if it doesn't, that's okay. the discussion we're having for the potential denuclearization of the north korean peninsula is very, very important and i have absolute faith in secretary pompeo. we know he has been to north korea and met with kim jong-un. he is now meeting -- he met last night it has been report ed with this north korea official and meeting today. if the secretary believes it's in the best interest of the united states to have the president at the meeting on the 12th the president will go there. that will be determined. >> sandra: that was them shaking hands and sitting down at the table at the u.n. residences. the president talking about jeff sessions. he quoted trey gowdy in a tweet and said this. he quoted gowdy saying there are lots of really good lawyers in the country. he could have picked somebody else, referring to the president. the president retweeted that quote and he said i wish i did. >> i think the president has been clear with his frustration with the attorney general always it relates to the fake russia investigation, the hoax that has been perpetuated now for the last 15 months that he has been in office that there was some type of collusion. we know there was no collusion. the president, i think, has been very clear. he is disappointed that attorney general jeff sessions did not tell him that he would recuse himself from this investigation prior to being nominated and that's a fair thing for the president to say. he has been very public about it and very consistent about it because this whole russia narrative which has been a cloud over this administration never existed. there was no collusion, no cooperation or no coordination. the only campaign that paid a foreign entity to do work for it was the clinton campaign and that's where the investigation should be looking. >> sandra: great to have you on the program this morning. thank you. >> rick: white house press secretary sarah sanders fighting back tears during a briefing yesterday after a 13-year-old reporter asked her about what the trump administration is doing to combat gun violence in schools. the 13-year-old boy was at the white house to cover the president's fitness event as a time for kids reporter when curiosity drew him into the west wing briefing room. >> me and other students mental health is important about the fact that we or our friends could get shot at school. can you tell me what the administration has done and will do to prevent these senseless tragedies? >> i think as a kid and certainly as a parent there is nothing that could be more terrifying for a kid to go to school and not feel safe. so i'm sorry that you feel that way. this administration takes it seriously and the school safety commission that the president convened is meeting this week again an official meeting to discuss the best ways forward and how we can do every single thing within our power to protect kids in our schools. >> rick: she is choking up there. coming in the wake of a string of deadly school shootings including the latest one in texas. president trump en route to meet with the victims of that sante fe shooting. that was a powerful moment. were you watching that yesterday? >> sandra: that student journalist has a bright future. to be that composed that young in the white house briefing room and ask that question. articulate kid as sarah sanders stated. rudy giuliani fueling speculation over attorney general jeff sessions. why the president's top attorney says the a.g. has nothing to worry about when it comes to his job, at least not right now. our panel digs into that one. >> rick: a big moment for the president during a bill signing yesterday but an 8-year-old. this kid stole the show. >> sandra: look at that hug. >> rick: he put a little love in everyone's heart yesterday. in just 3 days... ...for a whiter smile... that will win them over. crest. healthy, beautiful smiles for life. you might or joints.hing for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. >> sandra: president trump signing the right to try act allowing terminally ill patients access to treatment not yet fully approved by the fda. the president signing the bill into law in a white house ceremony surrounded by people who will be directly affected by it. >> president trump: as i proudly sign this bill, thousands of terminally ill americans will finally have the help, the hope, and the fighting chance. i think it will be better than chance, that they will be cured. that they will be helped. >> sandra: stealing the show during the signing ceremony jordan mcklin of indianapolis, the 8-year-old boy tried several times and eventually got that hug from president trump. he is battling muscular dystrophy. what a warm, sweet moment that was at the white house yesterday. >> rick: he has plenty of perseverance. >> rick: he got out of his wheelchair to ask for that hug. important moment. >> sandra: and important bill. indeed. >> by september 1st the public should have an explanation what mueller has. the report filed by september first, mid september or he is doing a comey. meddling in the election. doing hillary in july and late october and pulling back on the investigation. >> rick: president trump's attorney rudy giuliani saying special counsel robert mueller really should end the russia investigation by september 1 and hinted that the president won't fire jeff sessions before the investigation is over. let's bring in the panel. jessica tarlov, senior director of research at bustle.com and steve hilton the host. next revolution. thank you for being here. giuliani says mueller would be doing a comey if no report is released by september 1st. clearly they are concerned that this could affect the mid-term elections. >> it's a little rich coming from rudy giuliani that he is concerned about affecting an election. since he was the one who leaked out that comey would say something about hillary clinton a few days before he did in the first place and he certainly wasn't concerned about her chances being hurt from comey doing a quote comey. >> rick: they have a point, steve. >> as far as i'm concerned they're already doing a comey and been doing a comey all along. this whole investigative wait looking into alleged wrongdoing on the trump side of the fence isn't being balanced by the equivalent investigation that we need into what went wrong in terms of the clinton investigation and in the way that the intelligence agencies and f.b.i. and the whole weight of the bureaucratic state have been going at donald trump in order to undermine his presidency. the american people will not be satisfied and you won't get a fair picture until both aspects of this are investigated equally. at the moment it is totally unbalanced. it is all on one side. that's why it is unfair to our democracy. >> rick: the president has been tweeting a lot about this. jessica, i want to ask you. we are getting mixed signals whether or not the president will be interviewed by mueller. what do you think? >> i don't think that he should. i know we're getting mixed messages and the president said he wanted to and he has always said things like who pleads the fifth. that's what guilty people do and i have nothing to hide. as we learned from him sitting down with lester holt where he maybe incriminateed himself obstruction of justice saying i got rid of jim comey and didn't like how he was handling the russia stuff. the president should not sit down with him if he doesn't want to incriminate himself for something he potentially didn't do. >> rick: don't tell me whether you think he will or won't. should he? >> no, i don't think he should. the whole thing is a setup. they know there is nothing substantive there and they know -- they've dropped that. what they are trying to do is get something -- anything to undermine the president that the people voted for but establishment can't stand. therefore they want to set a trap where he will get something wrong about something he said in a meeting. >> we don't know if there is no evidence of collusion until bob mueller issues his report, we don't know anything. we know about the indictments thus far and the guilty pleas but we don't have a final opinion out of the mueller investigation so how can you say they've given up on collusion at this point? >> rick: i want to get to a couple tweets. one from the president. not that it matters but i never fired james comey because of russia. corrupt mainstream media loves to push the narrative but they know it is not true. he also said the corrupt mainstream media is working overtime not to mention spies and informants into my campaign. surveillance much? steve. >> well look, there were a whole range of reasons that he fired comey with grounds to do so. one of them was the way he was handling the russia investigation and the president said that. in terms of the surveillance, i think again what we need to do is have a proper investigation into the actions of comey and clapper and brennan and all these people in the establishment who clearly thought the prospect of a trump presidency was unthinkable and worked to try to undermine it right from the word go. >> rick: jessica? >> i disagree which isn't a shock to anyone here. you have prominent republicans like trey gowdy and marco rubio saying spygate is an invented fantasy of this president to undermine mueller. rudy giuliani admitted on the sunday circuit it was a p.r. move. we have our own judge andrew napolitano who has also said this. it is ridiculous and does a disservice to the american public. the president is using his twitter account as propaganda and he should let bob mueller do his job. >> rick: i wish we had more time. >> so do i. >> sandra: there is word about a secret memo shedding new light on the russia investigation. the document written by fired f.b.i. deputy director andrew mccabe giving new details about james comey and what led to his firing. one meal or snack a day with glucerna made with carbsteady to help minimize blood sugar spikes you can really feel it. glucerna. everyday progress. how much money do you think you'll need in retirement?

>> they point to the fact the former f.b.i. deputy director was fired days before his retirement from the bureau after the inspector general found he lied to federal investigators about his contacts with the media. the allegations were referred for possible prosecution. it is a crime to lie to federal investigators. we await more information on hor i wits how the f.b.i. handled the clinton email case and it could come at any time. in his report on mccabe he wrote that he lacked candor under oath on multiple occasions. after that report was made public mccabe disputed the account saying his boss knew about the media contacts with the "wall street journal" and he seemed to turn on his old boss. that may present a conflict with what is written in the memo now with the special counsel. >> rick: imagine that. catherine herridge in washington thank you. >> sandra: and another fox news alert for you this morning. the chances for an historic summit possibly gaining momentum as secretary of state mike pompeo continues critical meetings in new york city with the top north korea official at this point. considered kim jong-un's right-hand man. president trump weighing in moments ago on that big meeting. >> president trump: our secretary of state is having a very good meeting and meeting again today. i believe they'll be coming down to washington on friday and a letter is going to be delivered to me from kim jong-un, so i look forward to seeing what's in the letter. >> sandra: bret baier is the anchor of special report. a lot changing on this. you've seen the images, the dinner last night, mike pompeo and the north korean leader and then this morning the shaking of hands in the beginning of these critical meetings. a big moment and a big day for this presidency and for this potential summit. >> it is, sandra. good morning. i think the more the president talks about it the more likely this is going to go forward. i have think real question is what exactly are you going to get out of this first sit-down? i say first because it's very complicated and it could be a scenario where you have a meeting, a summit, and it leads to another one. there was a president who met with the soviet leader four times in four different summits. president reagan did and it may be one of these things where they get up from the table and don't have everything solved. but it does look at this point like it is going forward. >> sandra: and that is an image of the meeting taking place this morning. eight people, four from the u.s., four from north korea sitting down and hashing out what could potentially be the june 12th summit. this meeting could not happen at all. it could get pushed back, bret. we don't know at this point. you are hearing a lot of optimism. the president just departing for texas a few moments ago saying the talks are going very well. >> yeah. and his characterization of it is key because he has an insight from pompeo. they have been working on logistics and specifics for some time we're told. the real what it comes down to is the definition of denuclearize. what does north korea think it means and what does the u.s. think it means and how do allies in the region receive this? japan is a little skittish. you have general mattis meeting with japanese officials in the coming days. >> sandra: how does it play for the president and his party? >> it plays pretty well if he gets it across the finish line. but again, it's all about what comes out of it. both parties say they like this rather than the tough talk and the forward language about possibly going to war. this is a lot better. but the prospects of what is going to come on the back end are really the question mark. >> sandra: a lot changing on the political front with the president and the handling of this continued ongoing special counsel investigation. the president tweeting this out. he has been tweeting a lot this morning. he tweeted this about james comey. not that it matters but i never fired james comey because of russia. the corrupt mainstream media push that narrative but know it is not true. bret, i know you have probably seen a bunch of these coming out this morning. your thoughts. >> it is his printing press that twitter page and he is communicates directly to a lot of people. and we obviously follow it very closely. i think -- i'm not following exactly what he is saying there. if you look back at what he said to lester holt, he was pretty definitive in his sound bite, if you play the whole thing out in context. it definitely was a factor. either way, he has the right to do what he did and it's really rod rosenstein who wrote the real reason behind the recommendation for the firing of comey. so we'll see where this goes. i'm sure there is more explanation from the white house. >> sandra: we certainly will. it seems to be something the president is staying on and tweeting about on the informant, bret. he tweeted this. the corrupt mainstream media is working overtime not to mention the infiltration of people, spies, informants, into my campaign. surveillance much? what is the president's message there? >> he is stirring the pot. and, you know, depends on who you listen to. if you listen to trey gowdy, he says from what he understands about what happened, that the f.b.i. was doing what it was supposed to do and that they were going after possible russia interference and trying to figure out what russia was doing. if you listen to others, they say how is this possible that this can happen around the campaign? i think the real question is was anybody briefed about this around the time? you know, was anybody -- it doesn't seem like the trump people were briefed about any of this at the time and why was that? there are a lot of questions here that we don't know, sandra. >> sandra: if i could this morning kind of sort of step back and look at the big picture and this country right now and the mid-terms are now a major discussion as we get closer, and enter the month of june, the political landscape right now. we saw the president rallying this week and campaigning for marsha blackburn. how do things look at this point as we head into the fall? >> i think it is getting closer, actually. the generic ballot is shrinking. it was 13, 14, 15 points and now down to single digits, 3, 4, 5 points between democrats and republicans. it is a district by district battle. i do think that the republicans are poised better in the u.s. senate than they are in the house. but a lot can change in a short time as you know. we're one tweet away from changing the rundown right now. >> sandra: this is always the case. bret -- bret baier. we'll see you tonight on special report. thank you, sir. >> rick: meanwhile u.s. marines taking the fight to the taliban in afghanistan. we have drone video showing a mobile rocket launcher destroying a high-level taliban command compound in helmand province killing more than 50 taliban leaders from across afghanistan. >> they tracked 450 -- 50 of them and struck them with rockets killing dozens of the enemy leaders. so where does this leave us at the end of that action? afghan forces in control of farrah and many of the leaders are being pulled out of the rubble. >> rick: when did this big strike take place? >> last week. u.s. marines fired rocket guided artillery in the high-level taliban meeting. it was one of the largest strikes in the past year. >> helmand has been the financial en again of the insurgency. they draw 60% of their revenue from narcotics. by killing leaders we'll have a disruptive effect. it has a significant local significance in terms of the fight in southern afghanistan. >> last month the u.s. military launched the second highest number of air strikes in the past 6 1/2 years, more than 500 air strikes in april alone. more than iraq and syria combined in the same time frame. as the war against isis runs down air strikes in afghanistan are rambling up. dozens of taliban drug labs have been destroyed in recent months. >> rick: air strikes like these might push the taliban closer to the negotiating table? >> the general thinks so. he said yesterday the taliban had been engaged in secret talks with the afghan government in recent months. >> what you're seeing now is a lot of the diplomatic activity and dialogue is occurring off the stage and it is occurring at multiple levels. mid level and senior level taliban leaders engaging with afghans. >> general nicholson's tour ends this summer and replaced by general scott miller the head of u.s. joint special operations command. the ninth u.s. general in afghanistan in 17 years, rick. >> rick: we've heard talks between the taliban and u.s. for a decade now. we'll keep an eye on it. >> sandra: rudy giuliani pushing back against claims that congressman trey gowdy has debunked the spygate narrative. >> i want to see the documents that trey gowdy has never seen, which is outrageous. i won't let my client testify, the president of the united states, even if he wants to, without those documents being proud. >> sandra: what trump's legal team is looking for before they would ever consider letting trump sit down for an interview with robert mueller. former trump deputy campaign manager david bossie will join us, plus there is this. >> the president's pointing to the hypocrisy in the media saying the most horrible things about this president and nobody addresses it. >> the white house calling out the head of abc after they canceled roseanne's show. >> sandra: a video showing young foot ballplayers working together to rescue a couple trapped in a car crash. >> sandra: the first lady responding to all the rumors about her health. melania trump writing on twitter i see the media is working overtime speculating where i am and what i'm doing. rest assured i'm here at the white house with my family feeling great and working hard on behalf of children and the american people. there has been lots of media speculation about her since her last public appearance which was may 10th, four days before she underwent kidney surgery. >> rick: the president this morning demanding an apology from disney's ceo after the network canceled roseanne barr's hit show over her racist tweet about valerie jarrett. iger called jarret to apologize. president trump tweeted iger, where is my call of apology? you and abc have offended millions of people and they demand a response. how the brian ross doing? he tanked the market with a lie. no apology. double standard. media buzz host howard kurtz joins me now. to be fair, abc did issue an apology but not to the president. does he have a case here? >> well first i think president trump missed an opportunity to criticize roseanne's racist tweet. he could have said it's unforgivable and then move on with the beef to abc and disney. the president makes some valid points. there is almost an anything goes atmosphere, anything goes standard when it comes to some pretty fiery and ugly stuff aimed and him, aides or family. >> rick: samantha b. has a show. made a comment on her show about ivanka that we absolutely cannot repeat here. it was that bad. so no apology for that. another example of hypocrisy. >> it is a shining example of viciousness. she worked for tbs. but she called the president's daughter the c word. the worst word in the english language you can use to describe a woman. why? because ivanka trump had posted a picture of her with her young son. there is this whole mentality in the press she has to stop the president's policies on immigration or whatever, the social issue happens to be. there has been no sort of uproar against tbs. it has been reported as wow, do you see what she said? the media's outrage against roseanne which is justified is very selective. i'm not seeing it against samantha b. >> rick: presidents for decades have been the subjects of jabs from late night hosts and criticism, of course. maybe it has gotten worse? does the president need thicker skin? >> you could argue that the president should let some of this go and yes, this has gone on for generations. but it has gotten far, far worse. let's go through some of the examples with disney. so we have, for example, espn owned by disney, jamele hill the former co-host of sports center she called the president a bigot. nothing happened to her. no wrist slap, nothing. she got suspended later for going after the dallas cowboys, not what she said about the president. and then joy behar mocking vice president's pence's christian faith and keith ol berman. he did it on videos and twitter. espn gave him an expanded role and it can be hard to believe it would happen to somebody spewing hate against barack obama. >> roseanne tweeted i will examine all my options carefully and get back to you. does she have a shot at a comeback here? >> short answer no. and she has been all over the map spinning out on twitter apologizing or being defiant, depends on when she is on ambien or not. abc rather than letting this play out for a week and watch advertisers bail and have to cancel the show acted quickly because it was an unforgivable racial slur against valerie jarrett. i liked the show but abc didn't have any choice given the egregious nature of that tweet. >> rick: i'm sure you'll talk about this and many other things on sunday. you have a lot of stuff on your plate. thank you. >> sandra: the president pushing ahead with tariffs on chinese imports. china threatening a trade war right in the middle of summit negotiations with north korea. china's biggest trade partner. we'll discuss the potential impact of all of this is congressman sean duffy. >> rick: talk about fake news, a russian journalist teams up with ukrainian security forces to stage his own murder and why he did it. 6,000 feet above sea level. but how do you really know that the beans journeyed to the port of mombasa and across the pacific?

that never happens, right, celebrities going to the white house? >> sandra: it happened often on president obama. >> rick: really? >> sandra: for similar reason, john legend made a trip to the white house and sat down with jim acosta of nbc who is critical of this meeting. >> rick: i remember that now. >> sandra: so interesting criticism on that part. now to a bizarre story out of ukraine, a russian journalist faking his death to stop an assassination plot against him. this man teaming up with ukrainian security services to stage his own murder. even his friends and family didn't know. the kremlin is now reacting. amy kellogg is live in milan, italy for us. amy. >> well, yesterday it was pure theater and now, of course, there -- questions are being asked was this really necessary and okay for police to say that someone had been murdered, assassinated only for us to later find out he hadn't been and finally, sandra, just how much will this play into russia's hands? russia denying this but in the future if there is a political poisoning or assassination they're accused of, will they quite rightly ask how do we know it happened? this was supposedly slain and not slain journalist outspoken russian war correspondent who was in exile in ukraine because he had lived under threats for years in russia. they're calling this his resurrection. he shows up at a police presser less than 24 hours after an elaborate story of him being shot. it circulated with three bullets to the head as he came home from buying bread. ukrainian authorities say they were preempting a murder being organized by this man you are seeing at the beheft of russian security service. an ukrainian interior minister said in order to document those who ordered this crime, they had to be convinced the killer had successfully carried out the order. putin's spokesman lashed out at the head of ukraine security services. >> he should be responsible for his words, otherwise he will end up looking like his british colleagues. >> not only will the russians want answers but also his colleagues in the era of fake news, quite a sensitive situation and reporters without borders has opined saying it was really regrettable and pathetic to fake a death like this regardless of the motive. >> sandra: amy kellogg, even his friends and family didn't know. what a story. >> rick: plans for an historic summit picking up team at secretary of state mike pompeo meeting right now with kim jong-un's right-hand mine. live at the state department next, plus this. >> i disagree with their decision not to tell trump. if i were the candidate, i would want to know wait a minute, my campaign is surrounded by the f.b.i. and they claim they're here to protect me? i would want to know about it. >> sandra: that's judge andrew napolitano weighing in on the president's allegations that the f.b.i. spied on his 2016 campaign. where the trump administration still believes there is a cause for concern. we'll talk to david bossie the former trump campaign manager next. i'm still giving it my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. so what's next? seeing these guys. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you. >> rick: a high stakes meeting underway at this hour in new york as america's top diplomat hammers out plans for a possible nuclear summit and delicate talks with north korea's top negotiator. rich edson is live from the state department with more on this. >> the top negotiation teams for the united states and north korea are scheduled to be about halfway through their first session of the day today. that's secretary of state mike pompeo, vice chairman kim yong chol. they shook hands about an hour ago and said aides sat down on the 39th floor of an apartment building on manhattan's east side. they have a view of one world trade and the u.n. a state department official describes secretary pompeo and kim yong chol as the two top dogs for their country's leaders. north korea has determined its nuclear program provides the kim regime the security it needs and it is up to the united states to convince north korea that the program it has in fact has made the regime less secure and that there is a better path forward. secretary pompeo and kim yong chol met last night over what a state department official says a working steak dinner. spokesperson says discussions were great but there is still a lot of work to be done. then they travel to washington tomorrow to deliver the president a letter from kim jong-un. in singapore and korea more discussions between the united states and north korea and the logistics of setting up the summit and try to get a deal for north korea to surrender its nuclear weapons program and also the russia factor. russia is moving in on this. the russian foreign minister met with kim jong-un, first visit there since 2009 and he also invited kim to travel to moscow. >> rick: certainly looks like the two sides are getting along. let's hope it works out. rich edson at the state department. >> i want to see the documents which trey gowdy has never seen, which is outrageous. and i'm not going to let my client testify, the president of the united states, even if he wants to, without those documents being produced and myself and jay sekulow and jane and marty will go over it with a fine tooth comb. >> sandra: rudy giuliani and the white house saying there is a lot more to learn when it comes to the so-called informant infiltrating the trump campaign. trey gowdy poured cold water on the claim saying the bureau acted properly. the president tweeting this morning, the corrupt mainstream media is working overtime not to mention the infiltration of people, spies, informants into my campaign. surveillance much? david bossie the chairman of citizens united. former deputy campaign manager for trump. this is a big concern for this president. >> and it rightly is. this president is concerned because we had spies, informants inside our campaign. in the f.b.i., which is led by comey and mccabe and you got strzok and page, bad actors, bad apples in the leadership of the f.b.i. who looked to have a vendetta, some action wanting to be taken against donald trump during this campaign. so i don't know how trey gowdy is coming to these conclusions. he hasn't seen the documents. nobody has seen the documents. one thing i do know is that if the f.b.i. was concerned about russia, if they were concerned about russia meddling in the campaign, they should have informed our campaign. i know, i served as deputy campaign manager, kellyanne conway, myself, the other leadership within our campaign were never notified by the f.b.i. you would think as common sense they would have said hey guys, be on the lookout. could you help us identify people who are maybe infiltrating or trying to communicate with the campaign in some unsavery way? instead, it looks like they were setting us up. >> sandra: what did you think when rudy giuliani the president's lawyer said i want to see everything trey gowdy has seen and knows and i want to know all this and see all this before i would ever let my client, the president, testify. >> well, i totally agree with rudy. rudy giuliani is a tremendous advocate for his client, the president of the united states. and i totally agree that rudy is correct and their legal team is correct. they should see all the documents pertaining to the spying on our campaign to see if there is any validity whatsoever to the f.b.i.'s position, which i think is called into question because common sense says if they were doing it to watch the russians, you would contact the leadership of the campaign and i know personally we were not communicated with. >> sandra: i want to get your thoughts on this before we have some more information coming in on this potential sit-down with robert mueller. the president tweeted this out on firing james comey. he said not that it matters but i never fired james comey because of russia. the corrupt mainstream media loves to keep pushing that narrative but they know it is not true. david. >> well, everybody in the administration, the f.b.i. director included, is capable of being fired by the president of the united states, any president. you serve at the pleasure of the president. that's the way this works. he did not think that james comey was up to the job. he looked at the time at what he did during the campaign about the hillary clinton matter, right? and he saw -- i don't think this president had confidence in james comey from the beginning and look, if he had fired him on january 20th, right, the day he was inaugurated i don't think much of this would be made of anything. he gives the guy an opportunity to do his job correctly. the president didn't like it and he fires him. the mainstream media makes it about this and it was much bigger decision by this president. >> sandra: i want to get your reaction to some details coming in from our white house reporter john roberts. he is saying he has spoken himself with giuliani and he says that giuliani told him that they are not doing full blown prep sessions at the white house for this potential sit-down. rather, they're discussing with the president ground rules for a possible interview with mueller. does all that make sense to you? i know you keep up with the president. >> well, what i do is i try to understand what is going all sides. i wouldn't be spending my time -- this president is focused on the important issues of the day. he is focused on iran, security in the middle east, the upcoming -- potentially upcoming north korea summit. he has a lot of things going on. dealing with trade issues and dealing with border security. he is dealing with our economy. he does not have time to waste getting ready for an interview that probably does not happen. i would totally agree again with his legal team in talking about the big parameters of it but not wasting this president's time. the american people want him focused on things. they want to get back to business and move on from this scandal fatigue that they have. this is what this is about. it's scandal fatigue. the democrats, all they know is how to attack this president. they can't find anything to agree with him on whether it's prison reform or any other issue that they've been working on. if this president is for it, they are against it. the democrats hate this president more than they love this country. i continue to say it because they continue to prove it to be true. >> sandra: it sound like that's what giuliani is saying on behalf of the president. that he is going to spend some time prepping with the president on this but with north korea on a rolling boil again there is just not time. as we know, that's happening right now with those discussions happening on the east side of new york. david bossie, good to see you. thank you. >> rick: the reverend franklin graham saying liberal politicians have left the state in trouble in california. what he is doing to push back against the blue wall. >> sandra: president trump announcing new healthcare policies. how his plan could save you money at the drugstore. >> rick: congressman sean duffy will join us live. >> president trump: nobody knew it was going to happen because we had it done. repeal and replace. forget that. we are coming up with great healthcare. our secretary of labor is coming out with a plan in two weeks. people would stare. psoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. never give up. see me. see me. clear skin can last. don't hold back... ...ask your dermatologist if cosentyx can help you find clear skin that lasts. >> sandra: the end of a bizarre carjacking in california caught on camera. >> better watch out. >> i know. >> i don't want to get hit by this guy. >> oh, boy, oh my god. >> sandra: that's a video from another driver on the road capturing the whole incident. you see the driver of the stolen vehicle being chased by authorities crashing into several other vehicles before california highway patrol took the driver into custody. police say the suspect carjacked the white s.u.v. after rear ending it with a stolen jeep. >> president trump: we're coming up with great healthcare. our secretary of labor is coming out with a plan in two weeks. association plan. it will be great. >> rick: president trump hinting at plans for new healthcare policies during yesterday's signing ceremony for his new right to try law. wisconsin congressman sean duffy is a republican on the financial services committee and joins us this morning. thank you for being here. >> good morning, rick. >> rick: what can we expect on healthcare? >> so i think a couple things. number one we have to recognize that the senate failed to repeal obamacare and replace it when john mccain came out and gave his thumbs down vote. we now have democrats who realize that obamacare is failing so they are pushing towards a government-run or bureaucratic run socialized medicine. the fight is on do we go socialized medicine or let markets work? i think the president is trying to do many things. we have countries, canada, germany, france, others the price fix american innovated drugs. if we negotiate trade let's make sure they don't subsidize the cost of drugs in their countries sticking american patients with the full boat of recouping the cost of development. >> rick: the president spoke yesterday about drug prices. i want to play that and get your reaction. >> president trump: i think we'll have some of the big drug companies in two weeks and they will announce because of what we did, they are going to announce voluntary massive drops in prices. >> rick: i know you feel strongly about price controls. >> so, the specifics of what the president is talking about here i'm not sure. i know this is part of it. and that is if we get them to pay their fair share and stop free loading the drug companies can lower prices for the american patient which is what we want. so that's part of it. i think association healthcare, i think your viewers need to know is allowing people to pool together of like mind or like industry and you improving your buying power and leverage and you get lower prices. >> rick: how much cooperation does the president need from drug companies to make this happen? >> well, i think when you bring the drug companies in, i've talked to them as well and say listen, if you get other countries around the world to start paying their fair share we no doubt will lower our prices in america. they made that commitment. i've heard them say it privately and i think they'll say it publicly. this is patients and driving down the cost of care and open up waivers for state. in wisconsin where we had healthcare that worked. a high-risk pool that helped take care of those with preexisting conditions. if we let scott walker innovate in wisconsin to take care of wisconsin patients, drive down prices in healthcare, i think we'll be better off. what my work in wisconsin might be different in other states but give the states more power and control to meet the needs of their populations. that's i think the vision of the president on how you empower people and families and doctors to make these decisions as opposed to bureaucrats in government in regard to healthcare. >> rick: i want to get to the another topic. the china tariffs announcement. i thought they would have worked this out already but it sounds like it will happen again. >> i'm a little confused, like you are, rick. here is what's going on on the back side. we were hoping china would take good faith efforts to reduce some of their barriers to make commitments in regard to the stealing of intellectual property. they haven't gone far enough. the president will keep the steel and aluminum tariffs off the table. if we don't deal with china today, can we deal with the unfair trade imbalance they have with them and they steal our intellectual property and put up barriers to our american-produced goods. can we deal them later? we have to deal with them today. so president trump is right to say i'm going to push this. it's a fine dance i'm doing but i won't let the american manufacturer or consumer get run over by china any longer. >> rick: the dow is down more than 200 points this morning. i don't know if it's because of this other announcement about tariffs that the u.s. is moving ahead with tariffs of aluminum and steel imports from canada, mexico and european union. >> it falls back to chinese dumping. it is hard to separate china from canada and europe. by the way, we don't have a deal with china in regard -- with canada in regard to nafta. but again, what happens is the markets are looking very short term in regard to what impact these tariffs might have on this quarter's earnings. i think the president has to have a long view, a really long view on how is america going to be positioned in the next 5, 10, 20, 50 years from now and that means having free and fair trade. and again, now is the time to negotiate and you can't let markets spook you or threats from china spooking to make sure a world is a free and fair place to trade in and it is not that now. >> rick: thank you for your time this morning. >> sandra: a group of young football players taking teamwork to a new level. how they came together to save a couple trapped underneath this car. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. to california schoolsd, need big change. marshall tuck is the only candidate for state superintendent who's done it before. less bureaucracy, more classroom funding. marshall tuck for state superintendent. marshall tuck. cliberal gavin newsom from knows becoming governor. they also know chicago lawyer john cox has thirteen losing campaigns under his belt... and cox supports bad ideas like a 23 percent sales tax! california police officers and police chiefs stand with antonio villaraigosa. as mayor, he worked with law enforcement, and cut violent crime in half. antonio for governor. only marshall tuck will change that. year after year, policians fail to improve public schools. tuck turned around failing schools, raising graduation rates 60%. marshall tuck for state superintendent. marshall tuck. >> seven minutes away high-level talks underway now between secretary of state mike pompeo and top north korea official. will they reach an agreement? principal white house press secretary raj shah joins us live. a memo from andrew mccabe about james comey's firing in the hands of mueller. the president signing a bill called right to try. how it could give hope to terminally ill people seeking breakthrough treatments. that's "happening now" at the top of the hour. >> rick: a youth football team from idaho saving a couple after a rollover crash. check this out. members of the boise black knights run to the car, lift it up and help the victims escape. this happened in eastern oregon. the team was on their way back from winning a spring football tournament. >> sandra: what an amazing image of those kids coming together. >> rick: they're 13 years old. these are young kids. >> sandra: they are big, strong boys. >> rick: football saves lives. >> sandra: a new push against california's blue wall. evangelist franklin graham urging people to vote and help make the blue stronghold red after next week's election. the president making his way later to houston today. pastor, we know you'll lead off one of the president's fundraisers in prayer. this is important to highlight what is happening with franklin graham in california. what is this tour all about? >> well, it's part of a bigger picture, sandra. the reason franklin is doing what he is doing, the reason i'll be at a fundraiser with the president this afternoon is that we really believe it is not only the right but the responsibility of every christian to vote. not according to political affiliation so much as according to biblical convictions. look, president trump is the most faith-friendly president in history and franklin and i believe it is imperative that we elect a congress that will help him implement his pro-faith agenda rather than impede it. make no mistake. if democrats seize control of the congress they'll be hell bent on either impeding this president's policies or impeaching the president himself and we cannot allow that to happen. >> sandra: why is he focusing his efforts in california >> well, i think there is a lot of influence there in california. 20% of californians identify as evangelical christians. of those who voted only 13% voted. there is a lot of room for growth there. not only that but franklin's father, billy graham, began his ministry in california in 1949 and fitting 70 years later that franklin is coming there to preach. >> sandra: you know, how do you respond, pastor jeffress, to those who say is this right for evangelical leaders to be pushing a political agenda and mixing religion with politics? >> well, first of all, our ultimate message is the message of jesus christ. the only way you are going to change america is by changing the hearts of americans and only christ can do that. but look, there is a long history of pastors and evangelists being involved in american history. it was pastors who led the way in the revolution and pastors led the way in the abolition of slavery. it was pastors like martin luther king who led the civil rights movement? does anybody want to argue that pastors shouldn't be involved in politics? >> sandra: we hear your passion, pastor jeffress, thank you. >> rick: we will be right back after this. we had a vacation early in our marriage that kinda put us in a hole. go someplace exotic?
