[cheers and applause] rob, the former vice president still leading in the polls for 2020 contenders even though he s not officially in. he s followed by senator bernie sanders, the question will democrats hope to go choose the establishment path or move socialist, move further to the left, here to debate that ron meyer and molly mitchell. biden says he has the most progressive voting record, i find that hard to believe, what do you think? i think that s just a talking point, we know that for primaries people are always pulled on either side farther to the left or right and biden during his speech was acknowledging that but i think joe biden has the problem out of anyone who is running. i mean, he hasn t announced just like you said and he s leading in the polls in iowa and the progressive wing is extremely crowded even with bernie leading it right now. rob: let s get information here, biden versus bernie as we take a look at this assuming biden gets in, 90% assurity. 27% on biden, bernie moving along quite nicely and closing the gap, much wider gap than a month ago, let s take a look at joe biden s history here, he does have a very bipartisan history as he calls himself very progressive but these are some more conservative bills that he has supported in the past, bankruptcy reform, drug bill, defense of marriage act back in 1986. i mean, when he calls himself a progressive, do you buy it? a lot of those, look at it, most of those things president trump is more progressive than he is. that s the irony, president trump has more progressive record. look at the crime bill, he was the chief sponsor, joe biden, president trump did criminal justice reform which overturned most what are seen as racist laws, look at the iraq vote, joe biden was one of the chief leaders where president trump opposed that. look at wall street, joe biden has represented wall street which has many banks, crack down on student on students on graduates who had high loan debt and so a lot of these things are going to be really troublesome when bernie sanders starts coming after him and going after his record, you know, i think that gap is going to shrink, i see bernie sanders going up in the polls, i see biden going down. everybody likes uncle joe right now, when biden starts going after record rob: molly, you see in the regular election after you get through the primary who is do you think has better shot, biden or bernie? definitely i think biden over bernie sanders, but i think we just have to remember 9 months out for first primary and over a year away from the convention, so much is going to change between now and then and other candidates poll, they don t have as much name recognition yet and so i think at this point it s way too early to say it s going to come down to bernie versus biden. rob: okay, my buddy has gambling in vegas and you can win who will get the 2020 election and nomination, right now the leader is kamala harris, she has the best numbers. guys, thank you so much, we appreciate it. carley: time now is 36 minutes after the hour, this vietnam veteran s life saved on the battlefield by medic after stepping on land mine, 50 years later he s thanking him, they join us live. rob: get your daily fix of caffeine by subscription, major fast-food chain wants you to pay by the month.

here to weigh in president of border patrol council, héctor garza, we hear the stories time and time again, i remember the story of two girls in long island and brutality is terrible whacker do you make of this? this is another example of humanitarian crisis on the border. this is a type of violence that it creates and that s why we need to make sure that we have the funding to secure the border. we do know that ms13 is a very dangerous international gang that is infiltrating our communities and is having serious and negative effect in american towns. rob: in 2018 in the physical year, more than 2018ms13 gang members were arrested in this country. i want to ask you, we are seeing such a steady stream of unaccompanied minors coming into this country and i ve always heard from law enforcement that they are so vulnerable to this gang because they come here and they are kind of lost when they arrive, teenagers and the gang recruits and takes them in, does that sound right? yeah, that s the humanitarian crisis these unaccompanied children are being recruited and targeted by ms13, recruited in their home countries and also recruited here in the united states and that s why we have seen crimes that are serious. now, we have a long list that have been affected by some who have committed crimes. we need to get serious. violence that s coming across the border due to unsecured border. rob: a lot of people point to wanting to fix the problem in central america, that s something that has been tried for a long time. is that the way to go here, to try and fund their life there and try to improve the quality of life for these countries? so i m sure that there s a lot of things that can be done to countries better the situation out there. first and foremost we have to take care of america first and that s what president trump has been talking about. make sure that we are protected, make sure that our border patrols have the resources along the border, make sure that we have physical barriers, infrastructure technologies and then, yeah, let s worry about central america and what else we can do in the country, first let s worry about the united states, that should be number one. rob: do you feel that many people on the left are ignoring your emergency, we need barriers to help us do our job and you basically get ignored by many on the left. of course, that s been happening and we have been meeting with members of congress, let them know the realities to make sure that we don t let the fake news media dictate what is happening on the border. all border patrol agents are being ignored, ice agents are being ignored. we have to make sure that congressional leaders pay attention to the border security experts, president trump has done a great job with meeting border patrol agents and he s one of the first presidents meeting with agents and we just hope that those members of congress do the same thing. rob: yeah, the new york times says that the border is at a breaking point. it is not sustainable. thank you, sir, very much, we appreciate it. thank you. rob: carley, over to you. carley: thanks, rob, he lost both of the legs and one arm after stepping on land mine while serving country in vietnam but denise never got to personally thank the medic who thanked his life until now. 50 years later, vietnam veteran join paramedic finally reunited and they join us now. guys, it is so cool to see you together. what a full circle and incredible story. first thank you for your service. denise, i will start with you, can you tell us about the day in 1969 when you sustained your injuries, what happened?

going on for the last two and a half years. charles: all this as former trump campaign chairman paul manafort is sentenced to just 47 months in prison on tax and bank fraud charges, far shorter than what was recommended by the special counsel s office. let s bring in the wall street journal s deputy editor, dan henninger. kim strassel and bill mcgurn with us as well. it just never stops, but going into the weekend, everyone s still kind of reeling from the manafort sentencing. yeah, the 47 months instead of the 21 years that they expected him to get. i think in many ways, charles, this is a preview of the mueller anti-climax to come. because the manafort was being concentrated on here because he had been donald trump s campaign manager. his case was handed off from the justice department to mueller s investigation in the expectation he would give them information about trump and collusion. mueller s lawyer said at the sentencing hearing he gave us nothing and maybe because he had nothing. and so he ends up with 47 months, and i think that it sort of suggests he did commit a crime. he lied, he hid the tax returns, but this suggests that this is what is going to come from the mueller report. and after the president was saying two years and all this investigation, we re coming up with less than we expected. charles: and, kim, on that note, this is perhaps why the democrats are really getting ready, i guess, for the ultimate. they re digging into every crevice of president trump s life, and who knows how far they re prepared to go, but maybe mueller has come up with a dry hole which would be very embarrassing for them. yeah, it s a huge admission, because we are moving on to stage two. and now suddenly, charles, your not hearing any of these names that we ve heard so much over the last years, manafort, cohen, papadopoulos, the steele dossier. they don t want to talk about any of that anymore. they want to move on to a whole new field. in particular you see in the house the campaign the committee chairman focusing on, for instance, whether or not donald trump committed any collusion with regard to his financial dealings in russia, which ises a whole new field and area. but i think the problem that they face, the risk here is that they do look like it s a fishing expedition and that comes out a, indeed, it says that there is nothing there and they continue this, i think they risk a backlash with some of the public wondering if we have now verged beyond investigation into harassment. charles: bill, of course, maybe we won t be able to measure that depending how much of the mueller report is released to the public, if and i know there s a lot of political calculus here, but if it s not released to the public, then the democrats will be able to, perhaps, leak certain parts of it and to speculate on things that would probably justify in their minds additional investigations. yeah, look, i mean in general, i think if you remember one of the reasons james comey was sacked was that when he announced that there d be no charges against hillary clinton, which was not in his purview, he also then went on to say she did all these bad things, which is not what you do in a prosecution. if you don t indict, you don t say bad things about them. that should be the precedent. that said, i think that if they don t release this after two years, the country s just going to be further roiled, and the democrats would get the best of both worlds. they re keeping it secret because they re hiding this. charles: right. democrats clearly are admitting with all that that mr. mueller s not going to give them what they want, and i say this at least for jerry nadler, the investigation is now where it should be. if you want to remove a president, you don t have the fbi have an investigation or a special counsel. it should be a political decision in the house judiciary committee where kim was mentioning a backlash, where you have political consequences for your choices. so while i think that jerry nadler s on this big expedition and not likely to find something, that s at least the venue where we have some accountability. to me, it s far more sinister that andrew mccabe launched this investigation unaccountable, that we have a special counsel going off and, you know, for all these months not finding anything. charles: so, dan, right now just written requests. and you have to wonder, you know, when everyone says, no thank you, or how many of these actually become subpoenas, because then we ll get an idea of just the kind of grand scope they have in mind. and i think, to bill s point, this could actually further the anxieties, even frustrations among the public that it s unfair, that they re going down avenues that have zero to do with russian collusion. yeah. let s add to jerry nadler s investigation the one that s probably coming in the house ways and means committee. chairman richard neal is probably going to try to get held of president trump s tax returns from the treasury department. and pretty clearly the strategy here is political and is, again, to make the argument, make the case, suggest to the american people that we have an unacceptable president in donald trump. they re going to try and dig up all this dirt. but, charles, this is so far from the original charge which was collusion with the russians. charles: right. so ultimately, it looks completely political. and as bill s suggesting, the american people are going to have to make a decision whether that is an acceptable way to run the house of representatives. charles: and, kim, re democrats, rather, are being very careful not to throw out the i-word, impeachment, just yet also. well, very interesting listening, mr. nadler let the cat out of the bag. he said, look, the president has already obstructed justice. but in his mind that s the case, and he said really we re kind of going through the motions here because we need to convince more americans we re not trying to reverse or steal the last election. and so, you know, yes, impeachment is on their minds, but they re wary that there could be a problem if they go down that road. charles: absolutely. thank you all very much. when we come back, the 2020 democratic field continues to grow, but the biggest news of the week could be who s not running and who s still on the fence. when you retire will you or will you just be you, without the constraints of a full time job? you can grow your retirement savings with pacific life and create the future that s most meaningful to you. which means you can retire, without retiring from life. having the flexibility to retire on your terms. that s the power of pacific. ask your financial professional about

safelite, you can see exactly when we ll be there. saving you time for what you love most. kids: whoa! kids vo: safelite repair, safelite replace do you love me? i can really move do you love me? i m in the groove now do you love me? do you love me now that i can dance? applebee s 3 course meal. now that s eatin good in the neighborhood. charles: former colorado golf john hickenlooper joining the growing 2020 democratic field on monday, but the big news of this week may be who s not running for president. former new york city mayor mike bloomberg says he won t enter the race although his money will. and ohio senator sherrod brown announcing he s also going to sit this out. hillary clinton says she s not runed but, reportedly, isn t ready to close the door entirely. all of this, of course, as the waiting game continues with former vice president joe biden reportedly in the final stages of preparing for a 2020 run. we re back with dan henninger and gillian melcher. i m losing track, kim, of 40 s in and who s not who s in and who s not. and i think who s not speaks pretty loudly about issues within the party particularly within the moderates. yeah. i think there are two main issues that are guiding the decisions for those who are not in. one just has to do with how crowded the field is. you know, it s one thing when you have 14 candidates out there and no one knows who they are, but you ve got a couple of big name stauers out there stars out there, so that makes it harder sherrod brown or jeff networkly who both inside merkley who both decided not to do it. a lot of the operatives have been sucked up by other campaigns. but the other one is what you get to, which is we have an ascendant wing of the democratic party that s highly progressoff, very, very progressive, very, very intolerant of those in the middle, and i think some of these candidates like michael bloomberg understood that their views on wall street, on the idea that capitalism is a good thing, on the idea that maybe you can t have medicare for all, it s too expensive, those are just not very popular and would make a run very hard right now. charles: and, of of course, gillian, with the brown, senator brown not getting in, folks are wondering who could win back the blue collar vote, because that was his angle, right? the ohio game, he went to iowa recently. is there someone like that that you think right now in the current in the current lineup? charles: yeah. i mean, i think they really do have a problem here because you ved had new green deal democrats, and there are a lot of ways that those interests are pitted against each other. maybe joe biden would be able to appeal to them. i think that s kind of the best bet candidate for recapturing some of those voters, the blue collar guys that were lifelong democrats but went to trump. but, yeah, i do think we re seeing the demographics of both parties fundamentally changing, and candidates are still the feeling out how to gram with. that. charles: speaking of demographics, in that party there s a youth movement. it s an ideological movement and an actual movement, and there s a lot of talk about not having the same old people run or control things. nancy pelosi already has her hands full just trying to control those folks who have been elected, and it seems like that might be playing a role with respect to biden waiting. oh, it s playing a big role, the demographics, the idea that the millennials are going to define the democratic party. and this sort of gets the role of social media, because the millennials seem to have this big presence in politics whereas the people who got trump elected i mean, the conventional wisdom after the election was pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, blue collar voters had been overlooked. they re not on social media all the time. and to me, the most interesting dropout here is, indeed, sherrod brown who was supposed to be running in that lower/middle class, blue collar lane. and we also talked about hillary clinton not running. big question, where do her voters go? look, hillary clinton had real support. i remember back in 2012 going out and spending a day with her in ohio in one auditorium after another. you know what the auditorium was filled with, charles? blue collar women. they really liked hillary clinton. and the question is, where are they going to go now? are they going to join up with a lot of these left-wing candidates or wait for somebody like joe biden. it s not just the millennials in the democratic party who are going to determine who gets that nomination. charles: spa, kim and, kim, we haven t mentioned bernie sanders yet. the change also in i california s up first or in the beginning someone like a kamala harris could gain the sort of momentum, maybe go for those votes that dan just talked about, the women hillary voters. yeah, but how to do you actually do that, that s the question that i don t really understand. you know, this was encapsulated very well this week in this fight that we re seeing going on between wisconsin democrats who want democrats to hold their convention in wisconsin in 2020 and miami democrats. and this is the fundamental choice facing the apparently which is do you go after these multicultural minority, coastal state voters, or do you go after these blue collar voters who for a while democrats were convinced this was their problem, it s why they lost in 2016, trump got those voters, they need to get them back. but the poll and i think the problem is can you have a candidate that actually a appeals to both ends of those? how do you have a candidate that wants the green new deal and to get rid of all coal manufacturing jobs, for instance, and then also appeal to blue collar coal workers? it does not seem like it s possible. so, you know, a lot of people are waiting to see if biden comes out and thread that needle, but i think there s a good question whether anyone can they had that needle. charles: certainly looking like the gordian knot, that s for sure. much more when come back. also cal rove, he karl rove, he tells us why it s shaping up to be the, quote, democratic primary

[laughter] yeah, it s going to be a heck of a great theater for us. the democrats have changed the rules on the calendar in four very profound ways. they re going to start earlier. the first republican debate in 2015 was in august, the first democratic debate will be in june. and they re going to have a dozen of them before voters go to the polls in february of the next year. they re also front-loading the delegates. by march 3rd of 2016, under a quarter of the democratic elected delegates had been selected in caucuses and primaries. in 2020, by march 3rd nearly half of the delegates, and by april fools, 70% of the delegates to the national democratic convention will be selected. and they re going to be proportional. so we re front-loading, and their rules say if you get 15% of the vote, you get delegates. they re very proportional. so we re going to have three or four or five candidates who are going to be competing in various states, and three or four of them are going to end up being above 15% in each of those states, and we re going to have a lot of people, fractured convention, and may not have a majority on the first ballot as a result of it. and finally, superdelegates. they re calling them, incidentally, now the automatic dell the gates. they re hide delegates. they re hiding the name. superdelegates are not allowed to vote on the fist ballot ott to, but if there s not a winner, they get to vote. imagine if 765 sort of senior states people of the democratic party come roaring onto the field to decide who the democratic nominee is. charles: so biden s looking at all of the math and all of these changes that you just laid out along with some of the other political calculus out there, and everyone s sort of waiting, waiting, waiting. ultimately, the democratic party now he s seen maybe as a savior for a party that feels like it s a rudderless ship. well, i think that s what he s hoping. i m not certain that s necessarily what it s going to be. we ve got two people sitting here having not entered the contest who are likely to be major players. one of them is biden who has the highest name id of any of the candidates and consistently leads the national polls. now, he can build on that name id and that strength, or more likely, he can see it diminish as these other candidates get better known. he doesn t need to enter the contest early, which is why he s not in today, but he s got a very tough row to hoe, because once he gets into the race, he better demonstrate some strength, or he s going to rapidly dissipate. the other candidate is robert francis o rourke who s going to likely enter the contest. he signaled that he will. texas is going to be on the 3rd of march. if he runs strong in texas, he s going to be a player at the convention. charles: what about kamala harris, some of the new, i guess, rising stars within the party? yeah. look, what s interesting is some of them have had better entries into the race than others. some of them have done better on the money than expected. sanders, for example, raised $10 million in 24 hours. kamala harris had raised about a million and a half. but what s interesting is every one of those with the exception of sanders has an early state. well, vermont is early, but it doesn t have that many delegates. so every one of them has got a chance to get a big slug of delegates. massachusetts votes early with elizabeth warren, california with kamala harris, texas with robert francis to o rourke. so much of these candidates are going to jump into the race and have a contest that could cement their position as a player or sink them if they perform, underperform expectations for their home state. charles: you mentioned the super delegates as potential king or queen makers. what about michael bloomberg s money, perhaps as much as $500 million? how could that influence this outcome? well, he s indicated that he s going to stay focused on two issues, climate and guns. he s not indicated that he s going to take an active role in trying to determine who the democratic nominee now, he s got plenty of time to change his mind and enough money to burn a wet mule, so he could be a player. but i think we re likely to see him focus on those issues rather than picking up on any individual candidate with his money. i would expect to see him speak out against some of the sort of far left-wing excesses of the democratic party, but i m not certain he s going to back his public statements up with checkbook expenditures. charles: we ve seen the left wing gain a lot of traction and influence already this year in ways that i think are profound. considering the momentum that they have right now, what does that mean for 2020? well, that s the real big test, because there s a divide between the activism of the democratic base and all democrats. if you take a look at some of these public polls, for example, more democrats want somebody who can beat president trump than somebody who agrees with their views, but that s not the view that may be the view of all democrats, but if you look at the activists who participate in these primaries and caucuses, they ve got a decidedly more left-wing view. you saw it in the primaries to some degree in 2018, but more importantly you saw it in 2016 when bernie sanders whod had never run as a democrat for public office, the first democratic convention he ever attended was the 2016 democratic national convention. and, remember, he gave hillary clinton a run for her money. charles: he certainly did. karl rove, always great talking to you. thank you very much. thank you, charles. charles: still ahead, democrats divided. how a house resolution condemning anti-semitism became a broader anti-hate measure instead and what it says about a party in turmoil. one resolution addressing these forms of hatred not mentioning her name because it s not about her. ve got to tell you something important. it s not going to be easy. quicksilver earns you unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. actually, that s super easy. my bad. i m begging you. take gas-x.ed beneath the duvet that s super easy. your tossing and turning isn t restlessness, it s gas! gas-x relieves pressure, bloating and discomfort. fast! so we can all sleep easier tonight. i see everything as an opportunity. this is an opportunity once again to declare strong as possible opposition to anti-semitism, anti-muslim statements, anti-white supremacist attitudes. charles: that was nancy pelosi teeing up a house bill thursday on a resolution that, quote, encourages all public officials to confront9 the reality of anti-semitism, islamophobia, racism and other forms of bigot ottly. the resolution initially meant as a response to comments made by freshman democrat ilhan omar that were seen as anti-semitic. but the final draft does not mention omar by name. it was broadened to include all forms of hatred. after backlash from house progressives and some 2020 democratic presidential hopefuls, back with us now, dan, gillian and bill. bill, it certainly morphed over a three or four-day period into something that i think it missed the mark. yeah, look, it s a farce. they the reason we had this resolution is they couldn t pass a resolution just condemning anti-semitism, right? so a what we have is this woman makes these anti-semitic remarks, they draft a resolution against anti-semitism, they can t pass it, so they throw in a lot of other hates, we hate hate, especially if we can implicate donald trump, they mentioned charlottesville and so forth. then it passes. she votes for it herself. it s just ridiculous, right? the only, the only reason that she might be cautious down the road is that she may lose her seat on the foreign relations committee. but the problem the democrats have is not her. the problem is that her sentiment, her anti-israel sentiment whether or not people are antisemitucker you know, the boycott, very popular within their party. they booed jerusalem back in 2012. president obama had the authority that he could suppress that. i think even hillary clinton had that authority, could tamp it down. i m not sure they can tamp it down now. charles: in an effort to pass this, gillian, some very well respected lawmakers really went out on a limb, in james clyburn, for instance, suggesting her personal pain was more important and relevant than that of people whose parents or grandparents were in the holocaust. yeah. i mean, this has been quite the spectacle. it kind of cracks me up, was i remember because i remember two or three years ago when the black lives matter movement was at the front of the headlines. the progressives, this very wing of the party, was so profoundly offended if you said blue lives matter, if you said all lives matter. but i think this is their all hate matters moment, and it s just fascinating to watch the hypocrisy here, especially when you have such an anti-semitic statement and such an unapologetic attitude to this. the fact that they wanted to stand up and pretend they re anti-far it, yet they can t even condemn it when it happens in their own ranks. i think this is a telling moment. i think it s a big political and cultural moment, for sure. we re sort of debating about the mess that the democrats are in, but look what they have done. they have listed all these other hate crimes, and they have essentially established a moral equivalence between islamophobia, acts against sikhs, hindus, the lgbtq community and historic anti-semitism. her remarks were not just anti-israel. she was talking about jews having dual loyalties. these are slurs that go back centuries, and it absolutely does relate to what happened during world war ii and the holocaust. for the democratic party to now simply put that on a same moral plane with all these other moral concerns of theirs says a lot about how simply politicized this movement has become. they ve lost a lot of moral standing with this. and she voted for it, so you can tell it doesn t mean anything, right? [laughter] charles: that s true. but also just how, you know, her colleague alexandria ocasio-cortez jumped into the fray early on, and i feel like that helped to shift the debate. because this is an eternal issue. this is a democrat issue, and when she jumped in, it changed the whole thing completely, gillian. and this is how we ultimately got the resolution that we got. yeah. i think we re seeing here that the far left socialist, progressive wing of the party is a real threat to democratic unity and authority. i mean, it is shocking. you have somebody coming out with this anti-semitic statement. why can t they just rally and say this is wrong? you ve got this wing of the party that s basically hijacked their ability to take a moral stand, and i think this bodes poorly for their ability to accomplish oh things. absolutely. i think, i mean, their problem, again, is not this individual congresswoman, the problem is the party that her views are popular in the party, and that s an outlier with the american people. it s just a very outside view. charles: and, dan, how did this mitigate future criticisms of republicans for not rebuking president trump on a wayward tweet here and there, that kind of thing? well, again, i think that s right. there s an equivalence here. i mean, this resolution actually mentions charlottesville and virtually every other hate crime and event that s happened in the last two years, clearly trying to associate it with president trump. again, it makes it fundamentally a political act, and i think the american people are sitting out there looking for a level of seriousness about the disagreements going on right now, and i think gillian is right, that the left inside the house of representatives is just going to make life hellish for nancy pelosi. they ll be back. this is not going to be the last charles: you could argue they re more emboldened now than they were, in fact. thank you all very much. still ahead, weaker than expected job numbers in february, but there is a silver lining in friday s report. steve moore is going to take us through those numbers. i think the big news really was that wages went up, and that s great for the american worker. tech: at safelite autoglass, we really pride ourselves on making it easy to get your windshield fixed. teacher: let s turn in your science papers. tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first. student: i did mine on volcanoes. teacher: you did?! oh, i can t wait to read it. tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage. she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we d be there. teacher: you must be pascal. tech: yes ma am. tech vo: saving her time. [honk, honk] kids: bye! tech vo: .so she can save the science project. kids: whoa! kids vo: safelite repair, safelite replace now s the really fun part:m car. choosing the color, the wheels, the interior. everything exactly how i want it. here s the thing, just because i configured this car online doesn t mean it really exists at a dealership. but with truecar, i get real pricing on actual cars in my area, i see what others paid for them and they show me the ones that match the car i want, so i know i can go to a truecar certified dealer and it ll be right there waiting for me. today, right now. this is truecar. charles: the u.s. economy added just 20,000 jobs in february, far below expectations. but with friday s report grim was it as grim as the headline suggests? steve moore, long time. i want to also let the audience know you re the co-author of trump mommics: inside the america first plan to revive our economy. so is the plan working in. [laughter] it has been working. my gosh, we ve got a blockbuster economy. we got to 4% growth in the middle of last year. we finished the year with first time in 15 years with 3% growth. by the way, charles, you know, on that jobs report,s we have the best labor market for workers probably since the beatleings were still together. [laughter] i mean, tests amazing. the it s amazing. one of the reasons the jobs numbers weren t very good was because literally employers are running out of workers to hire. and it s a big problem for a lot of employers. we ve got a blockbuster economy right now with a lot of employers looking for workers, and they can t find them. i mean, look, there are some signs the economy s showing down a little bit, and that does concern me. but if you re a worker looking for a job, this is the best time to be looking for a job in half a century. charles: and i agree with you there, steve, i also like the idea that these non-supervisory workers, seven months in a row, north of 3%, in fact, outpacing the number in six of the last seven months. this suggests that folks who hadn t really seen raises in a long time are finally seeing them. that was the ultimate promise of candidate trump, wasn t it? yeah. when larry kudlow and i and art laffer put that tax plan together for donald trump back two and a half years ago, the whole idea was not to help rich people and and not to help big corporations, it was to get more capitals investment, more hiring in the economy. and what we wanted to do is create a really tight labor market so that workers could bid up their wages. and, charles, that s exactly what s happened. the wages for middle class workers are as strong as they ve been in, you know, probably since 2000. and, by the way, i hear people like elizabeth warren and people like kamala harris say we need an economy that works for the middle class charles: right. [laughter] i mean, are they paying attention to what s going on? now, i am concerned about a couple things. you want me to tell you what those are? charles: lull. absolutely. first of all, the fed is killing us, charles. the fed has been way, way too tight for too long. you report on this every day, the stock market starting in september remember what happened in september, october, november, december, you know, it was a crash in the stock market, 5,000 points down on the dow. remember what they did right before christmas, what i call the christmas eve massacre. and now that was because of very tight money. commodity prices crashed. over the last three months, did you know this, charles, consumer prices have actually fallen. we are not in an inflation environment, we are in a deflation environment, and the fed doesn t get it. because, charles, the fed believes that growth and people working causes inflation. i don t know where they got that idea charles: but jay powell he doesn t get it. charles: think about it. there was a time not long ago if wages were up 3% in four consecutive months, the fed would have sprung into action. they would have began automatically assuming inflation and started to hike rates. they ve indicated that they re going to let this part of the economy grow. so here s let s go back to right before they started raising those rates because, look, i think these were catastrophic decisions. if you go back to the summer of 2018, charles, the economy was growing at 4%. we had the best labor market in 50 years, and we had no inflation. tell me, charles, what about that picture does the fed have to fix? you know, if you ve got a winning strategy, you keep with it. since then we ve seen decline in prices now, the fed decided right after christmas they were going to stop raising rates, which was a very positive thing. i m here to tell you that s not enough. they have to reflate the economy. we ve got a strong, pro-growth economy right now. everybody in the world wants to invest in the united states, so there s a big demand for dollars. at the same time the fed is sucking dollars out of the economy, i think it s terrible. charles: would it be enough if the fed stopped their quantitative title. ening, if they stopped taking that $50 billion out of the economy, or you want to see rates go down? i want to see the rates where they were before they started raising them in september. i think they should be buying bonds, not selling them. until we get commodity prices back, they re still 10% below where they were in september. and the fed is way below their target of 2% cpi growth, so that s a big problem. the good news, by the way, there s another piece people aren t reporting on which is if we can get this trade deal done with china, and i know you report on this nearly every day charles: you re a mind reader, my man. [laughter] these are top on the economy. i m feeling pretty good about things. you can never trust those politicians, but if trump can pull this off and the chinese buy more of our products, protect our intellectual property rights they re stealing $300 billion a year from us, you know, as trumps yahoo!d to say, you can t have free trade with a country that s cheating and stealing. if he gets that done, i think that ll be a big plus for the job market and for the stock market as well. charles: of course, steve, we just saw reports that exports were down 20.7%, that their exports, so in an export-driven economy, their economy has some serious issues that probably began even before the trade war. that probably could help us get to a deal within the next 30 days, do you think? if that happens, we re going straight up. if the fed helps us. give us a little break, jay powell. charles: i think jay powell s going to help you out. he wasn t a year ago, but i think he s had an epiphany along the way. hey, steve, thank you very much, my friend. that ses, charles. charles: when we come back, a striking new number shows apprehensions at the border are skyrocketing as a resolution to block president trump s emergency declaration heads towards pass package in the senate. this emergency order, this executive order, goes against the of congress. [music playing] (vo) this is jerry. jerry has a membership to this gym, but he s not using it. and he has subscriptions to a music service he doesn t listen to and five streaming video services he doesn t watch. this is jerry learning that he s still paying for this stuff he s not using. he s seeing his recurring payments in control tower in the wells fargo mobile app. this is jerry canceling a few things. booyah. this is jerry appreciating the people who made this possible. oh look, there they are. (team member) this is wells fargo. the sleep number 360 smart bed, from $999, intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts. so you wake up rested and ready for anything. save $500 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. only for a limited time. muck on track to encounter cle to one million illegal aliens at our southern border this year. our capacity is already severely restrained, but these increases will overwhelm the system entirely. this is not a manufactured crisis, this is truly an emergency. charles: that was homeland security secretary kirsten nielsen on capitol hill this week warning congress of what she s calling a serious and sustained crisis at the southern border. data released this week by the u.s. customs and border protection shows more than 76,000 migrants crossed the border illegally in february. that s an 11-year high. all this as the senate gears up to vote on a resolution blocking president trump s emergency declaration. the measure, which passed the house lasting week, now all but certain to pass in the senate. kentucky s rand paul becoming the fourth republican to announce his support, we re back with dan henninger, kim strasseling and gillian melcher. we know there s speculation, rand paul said maybe ten, i even saw an article in had the hill suggesting 15. if you get to 20, this thing is veto-proof. yeah, and i think you see at the moment senior republicans attempting to have conversations and make sure that doesn t happen. look, it s always tough, rand paul, to be the 51st vote. but once you ve got a majority, it becomes a lot easier for everybody else to just pile on. and there s, you know, two different branches of republicans that have got concerns here. one are groups, appropriators mostly, when are very concerned about the president using money from military construction funds that s going to come out of their states and go somewhere else. but you also have the strict constitutionalists in there, the folks like rand paul or ted cruz, mike lee who are simply very concerned that congress has the power of the purse, and they re not necessarily convinced that this national emergency declaration is straight up in terms of the separation of powers. charles: dan, it feels that, ultimately, the constitutional part of this will be answered by the supreme court, and then there s the part about the president you surgeoning the power of the purse usurping the power of the purse from congress that resonates with a lot of folks. that s right, charles. meanwhile, there is this event going on down on the border, and secretary nielsen is right, there is an unprecedented number of immigrants coming up from guatemala. we ve seen the pictures. mothers, children on their back. there is a crisis of some sort. and for the congress of the united states, on one hand, there are issues involved with the national emergency vote, but they re going to go through this, and then they re going to basically walk away and wash their hands of the immigration crisis? this is an abject political failure on the part of congress. charles: families up 338%, children up 54%, that is the sheer numbers are a crisis at the border. absolutely. and i think we ve seen, as dan mentioned, congressional abdication. look, the problem isn t so much that we need a wall, or it s that the immigration laws are fundamentally flawed. right now if you decide to do it the legal way, go to a port of entry, declare that you need asylum, you may not even be able to get across the border the same day. meanwhile, if you cross illegally, you have the same ability. you essentially get to jump the coup. and i think the queue. and i think that encourages people to cross illegally on so much that if you declare asylum, it s fairly easy to clear that initial hurdle. and the adjudication system is so backlogged that you can end up having permission to work legally in the united states for years. so those are real issues. that s something congress can solve but hasn t. charles: well, dan, i ve been thinking about this for a while when this issue initially began to blossom, it could have been a great, great time for the grand bargain to get it all done, bring daca, once and for all. yeah. both the president and congress have problems there. they both contributed to the problem. and they have got to do something in that direction. they are not going to just simply be able to stop this group coming in through the borders right now. the ninth circuit court of appeals this week ruled that these immigrants have habeas corpus guarantees. more of them are going to come now. so congress and the president have got to sit down and figure out a way to rationallallize the immigration system and address this, because it has become a general win crisis. charles: kim, do you still think, ultimately, the president will get this funding, that this will survive his veto? yeah, i absolutely do. look, they kept the numbers very low in the house in terms of the republicans who actually voted against it. and, you know, you have to have two-thirds of both the senate and the house to override a veto. so whatever the numbers come out to be in the senate, it would be very tough for congress to, ultimately, override that veto. i think he gets his money. but they ought to be putting this aside and moving more quickly because dan s and gillian put their finger on it, this is congress failure. they ring being defied not justy the white house, but by the courts too. dan just mentioned the ninth circuit, and it s because they have a poor immigration law, and they need to sit down and fix it. charles: yeah. it s a crisis in more ways than one. thank you all very much. we have to take one more break, but when we come back, hits and misses of the week. cos i know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams here i go again on my - you realize your vows are a whitesnake song? i do. if you ride, you get it. geico motorcycle. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more. i was thinking.d clot could there be another around the corner? or could it turn out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn t experience another. .and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda approved and has both. don t stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don t take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. and it may take longer than usual for 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. what s around the corner could be surprising. ask your doctor about eliquis. time now for hits and misses sof the week. kim, first you. it s never easy to be a first lady. even less easy to be first lady to president from the press is constantly gunning and extension family. this is a hit for melania trump that went on tour to be or be best initiative which is aimed tat children s well-being, on m social behavior, and the effect of drugs and families. it is an important issue, a complex issue. anyone who s ever watched social media knows that we could use more people asking us to be our best. well done for her. jillian? a hit for my home state of wyoming. university of wyoming came up with a slogan last year, the world needs more cowboys. you the usual pc voices coming forward saying cowboys is inherently a gender term that there is a history of racism, genocide or this is not including those but the board of trustees stood up unanimously and decided to keep it. we are starting to see numbers now. they ve got about 18,000 equipment leads on this.the public loves it. they even sold a coffin with the logo. the message of the administrators is clear. cowboy up! these extreme voices do not represent public opinion. bill? have a hit to the state of colorado for announcing it was dropping the second lawsuit against kate baker jack phillips. this time for not baking a cake celebrating a gender transition. the first time around colorado lost largely because of the religious animus to mr. phillips. they wisely saw that this would not go anywhere but only half of a hit because the harassment of the man has been so egregious that the anti-religious animus is so naked and the retreat so grudging. charles, a misty new jersey governor, phil murphy who s actually becoming something of a regular at this part of our program with hits and misses. his miss for the proposed budget wants to raise the tax on millionaires to 10.75 percent in new jersey. this is on top of the fact the new jersey will get hit in the neck next month by elimination of the state and local tax deduction.there are about 20 million millionaires in new jersey. if governor murphy gets the tax passed this year do not expect orall of them to be sitting the next year. thank you all very much. that s it for this week. thank you to my panel and of course thank you all for watching. catch me weekdays on making money with charles payne. tpm on the fox business network. of course we hope to see you next week. white house sources telling fox news president trump ask congress for nearly 9 billion extra dollars tomorrow. more than ever before. to help build the border wall. the president is set to unveil the new budget proposal. hello everyone welcome to a brand-new hour of america s news headquarters i am eric shawn. trax i m arthel neville. the president first lady heading back to washington after spending the weekend at mar-a-lago. tomorrow the president unveils the budget request for the 2020 fiscal year. sources telling fox he will ask congress for an extra $8.6 billion for the border wall. six times more than
turn out to be true. the relationship is good. i would be very disappointed if that were happening. this week i was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. i m going to fight this. keep the faith and we ll win. might as well jump might as well jump receive steve well to fox & friends the morning s number one cable news show. ainsley: don t be afraid to jump. if you are making a decision and it s risky face your fears. brian: face the fact that sammy hagar was much better as a lead singer for van halen. steve: than david lee roth. brian: no doubt about it he wouldn t wear the tight pants and some women were upset by that i do think overall better singer. steve: that s your metric for a good rock band? brian: not mine. i m just saying i know both sides of the issue. ainsley: let us know what you think friends@foxnews.com. steve: yesterday on ash wednesday the story was the crisis at our southern border how the border patrol commissioner kevin appeared before congress and said look our system is at the breaking points. there are these families that are vurensdin sur rensd de0 and 200 and 300 at a time. we are on track to hit perhaps 100,000 migrants trying to get into the country apprehended this month. last month it was 76,000. and so, yesterday, the department of homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen was there to try to convince skeptical democrats that there is a crisis down there. ainsley: she said no rational person would ever design an immigration system like the one we have today. listen. the projections are dire. the agency is now on track to apprehend more migrants crossing illegally in the first six months of this fiscal year than the entirety of fy-17. and at the current pace we are on track to encounter close to 1 million illegal aliens at our southern border this year. our capacity is already severely restrained but these increase also overwhelm the system entirely. this is not a manufactured crisis, this is truly an emergency. very unfortunately, because of the increase in violence at ice, when we have families with children, we have to give every girl a pregnancy test over 10. this is not a safe journey. ainsley: that is so sad. girls 10 years old and up have to have a pregnancy test. steve: every one. unbelievable. ainsley: what is happening with these kids on this journey. what is happening to these women on this journey. brian: thereson attraction. show up with a magnet and make it halder tore get across. word will get out. expand what we are doing for humanitarian purposes in these central american countries. at the same time, start addressing our overall immigration system. what i think they did for the first time in a holistic way yesterday and by the way it really have upsetting and should be upsetting t for anybody to see how disrespectful she is treated when she goes to capitol hill. all she did was bring the message on homeland security on southern border where most of the drugs come through. when the numbers start coming through, nobody challenges them. they seized 84,000 pounds of marijuana. 7,000 pounds of cocaine. 7500 pounds of methamphetamine. up 25% in from 2017 to 2018. we know where the problem is we know they need more resources. everybody agrees according to the new york times there is a humanitarian disaster brewing there. so, why can t since at the same time, don t put aside this. at the same time our country needs workers. we saw the jobs council yesterday the president put together talking about the one thing they need. steve: look at that. brian: is more people to work. there has to be holistic way to address immigration reform for both sides of the aisle and both take credit like they did on the criminal justice reform package. steve: look, the system is broken. the laws are broken there are too many loopholes. she and yesterday in front of congress and said smugglers are encouraging families to file false asylum claims because that virtually guarantees you are going to get into the united states. the laws need to be changed. we have heard that from both sides and, yet, both sides have refused to do it. yet here we are and dan crenshaw, congressman from texas says, look, this time as in many times in the past, this is a problem that needs to get fixed because the laws are broken. the democrats keep talking about the children coming across and how we need to help them. and i agree. we have different ideas of what helping them looks like. what we don t want to do is allow them to be used as tokens to get across our border. that s what our laws incentivize right now. they insent advise children to be adult. we can accepted you right back. adults with children incentivizing them. that s why this is a humanitarian crisis. ainsley: if you don t think it s a crisis about immigration. it could be a crisis if you are a mother or parent and see what s happening to these kids. they are using these kids. these kids are having to get pregnancy tests at age 10. she said i m ready to work with congress. congress has got to do something about this. whether or not you agree with me or disagree with me can we please sit down and fix this problem? brian: also, it s important to point out too and justifiably. inspector general pointed out the homeland was not on the same page as justice. when jeff sessions comes out there and says zero tolerance homeland security didn t know he was doing it causing a catastrophe and causing separation of mothers and families families and their kids at the border. so the inspector general pointed that out, i got it having said that don t spend an hour continuing to go over things to try to get more votes in two years. a lot of republicans are upset at the president not because he is doing something unjust and that s getting money through emergency action for the border we are worried about the press denting; therefore, maybe instead of using you re veto we could get money from other areas and maybe get you more money than you needed and stall warts like senator capito from west virginia emergency effort to pull back that emergency action. we will see. steve: yesterday, their appearance on capitol hill was to sell congress because it s up to congress if they buy the emergency thing, that s easy. meanwhile, speaking of congress, the democrats are divide. they cannot figure out what to do about some of their freshman members in particular ilhan omar who over the last two months has had to apologize for smeat anti-semitic tropes and last week was talking about loyalty to israel. she has spoken to nancy pelosi. nancy pelosi has not revealed what sort of discipline, if any she is going to mete out to this new congresswoman there was a plan to have a new resolution, nonbinding, read into the record at the u.s. capitol denouncing anti-semitism. but now because a number of people have come to her defense, congresswoman omar s defense it looks like it may not happen. ainsley: now more anti hate. a resolution taken to a vote yesterday and now today and now it might not even happen as you just said, steve. nancy pelosi, she actually was in that meeting with the rank and file democrats and she was upset with them. she ended up putting the microphone down after she said to them she said if you are not going to listen to me, i m done talking. and she walked out of the room. the president tweeted and said it is shameful that house democrats won t take a stronger stand against anti-semitism in their conference. anti-semitism fuelings autocracies throughout industry and inconceivable that they will not act to condemn it. atrocities. sorry, i thought that s not what the word is. brian: this whole resolution. they want to make the democratic parties not united. no they are not very united. i walked out of a room. you are all over each other. the leadership is being trampled by freshman, by freshman that s fundamentally changing our foreign policy from the foreign relations committee and by the way congresswoman omar should stop apologizing because she contradicts herself the next day and says basically i shouldn t apologize. a democrat, a close ally pleaded with the democrats to stop tweeting at which point noble did. alexandria ocasio-cortez went after another democrat juan vargas on twitter and he came back and said you could have just walked down the hall and talked to me. they are at each other s throats right now. steve: speaking of walk down the hall and talk to you. i saw your son doing that. steve: peter doocy you will see some of his attempt you had interview with ilhan omar. he talked with her five minutes. she was very polite. he would wait until they were done talking and ask a question. she never answered any of the questions that he asked. but, he asked all the right questions. questions that people want answers to. here is some with peter yesterday on capitol hill. congressman omar it, seems like there is some confusion among your colleagues, are you anti-semitic? congresswoman can i quickly ask would you accept this resolution condemning anti-semitism. my only question would you support the anti-semitism and other forms of bigotry? congresswoman would you support the resolution? condemning anti-semitism? congresswoman would you support the resolution condemning all forms of bigotry? steve: and she never and he. brian: kamala harris, you have bernie sanders basically senator warren all saying well, you should not confuse an anti israeli policy to anti-semitism. questioning israeli policy is not a question. i think she is doing both on a regular basis. i just keep asking why did nancy pelosi look at her resume and say she would be perfect for the foreign relations committee? how is she still on that committee? ainsley: specifically what nancy pelosi said she said she is not intentionally anti-semitic kamala harris. steve: she is anti-semitic just not intentionally. ainsley: nancy pelosi said. had problems with benjamin netanyahu said it is right wing u. steve: in the news but she will not talk to reporters about what s going on. brian: some people are in the news and some people do the news and that s jillian. jillian: absolutely. ainsley: you don t want to be in the news. jillian: let s talk about r. kelly you saw this explosive interview. embattled singer r. kelly facing new accusations he assaulted a 13-year-old girl u claims coming on the same day that i just mentioned denying similar accusations from other women. so they re lying on you? that s your explanation they re lying on you? absolutely. i m fighting for my [bleep] life. y all killing me with this. jillian: r. kelly has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault charges. is he now in custody in chicago for failing to pay more than $160,000 in child support. well-wishes pouring in for jeopardy host alex trebek as he fights stage 4 pancreatic cancer. i plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease. truth told, i have to because under the terms of my contract, i have to host jeopardy for three more years. so, help me keep the faith and we ll win. jillian: tmz reports the 78-year-old plans to at least finish jeopardy s current season. meghan mccain tweeting send go ahead love and support to you alex your family and the entire jeopardy family. you have have got this we are all here fighting alongside you: ken jennings one thing i know for a fact alex is very. aware. my response is who is alex trebek. my family andry sending love and tons of healing prayers to you, alex. one thing know for a fact. alex is aware of how much he means to millions of people and how we will be pulling for him. i hope that s a comfort. steve: he has been in our house for decades. is he like part of the family. meanwhile on tv. massive drug operation creating enough fentanyl to kill everybody in the country. details on that coming up. military-grade aluminum alloy body gives you best-in-class torque, best-in-class payload. and you got it, baby. best-in-class towing. still leading the pack. this is the big dog! this is the ford f-150. it doesn t just raise the bar, pal. it is the bar. this is a very difficult job. failure is not an option.a. more than half of employees across the country bring financial stress to work. if you re stressed out financially at home, you re going to be too worried to be able to do a good job. i want to be able to offer all of the benefits that keep them satisfied. it is the people that is really the only asset that you have. put your employees on a path to financial wellness with prudential. bring your challenges. neighbors. loved ones. living with diseases like cancer, epilepsy, mental health conditions and hiv. maybe you re one of them. but new medicare rules could deny access to the latest, most effective therapies. therapies that keep them healthy. are medicare cuts that save less than one percent worth the risk to millions of patients? president trump promised to protect medicare. we need him to keep his word. it can cause damage to the enamel.. with the new pronamel repair toothpaste we can help actively repair enamel in its weakened state. it s innovative. with pronamel repair, more minerals are able to enter deep into the enamel surface. the fact that you have an opportunity to repair what s already been damaged, it s amazing. i think my go-to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair. steven could only imaginem 24hr to trenjoying a spicy taco.burn, now, his world explodes with flavor. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day all-night protection. can you imagine 24-hours without heartburn?

i m doing okay. but, you know, people are just shocked at how powerful these drugs like fentanyl are. you know it, just takes three grains like grains of salt to kill a normal sized person. this is a big problem. that s exactly right. it takes about 2 milligrams to prove fatal. they seized about 200 kilograms think about the devastation that could be wrought with that. in your business at acadia. how big a problem is addiction in america right now regardless of what people are hooked on whether it s heroin or oxy or fentanyl? sure, yeah. it s a huge problem. 72,000 americans died last year. try to think about that. that s 72,000 families, that s will never get their loved ones back. we are seeing more and more fentanyl involved. patients are getting this unknowingly. it s frequently packaged to look pressed into pills looked like oxycontin and taking it thinking it s something else and overdosing on it. steve: yesterday secretary nielsen was on capitol hill talking about the drug crisis. drugwise, the number of drugs coming up from mexico or wherever, is that a crisis or is that being overblown by the republicans? i think it s a crisis all across the country, if you think about the amount of people that have died it s now exceeded the amount of people dying in motor vehicle accidents. we really need to get a hold on this through law enforcement, through treatment. the good news is that a lot of the people that are dependent on opioids doing this unknowingly can get treatment for it we need to get the word out. steve: that s why they come to you, right? yes, sir. yes. we do have good means of treatment now. we have medications that we can use to get people off of the drugs to which they are depend dental. we need to overcome the stigma of thinking that substance abuse disorders are a moral failing and brain diseases that can be treated like any other disease. steve: absolutely. dr. genovese, thank you for getting up so early today in chicago to tell us about this terrible problem. thank you for having me. thanks. steve: you bet. 6:30 in new york city, democrats keep pushing back a vote on a resolution to condemn congresswoman omar s anti-semitic remarks. muslim scholar dr. ahmed says it doesn t go far enough. another county is stopping up for the second amendment. the sheriff firing back at his state s new gun laws. says won t enforce them. right back.

[howling] steve: that s the movie version. one patti ann browne proposing fines for owners whose dogs barked for more than 20 minutes. this sounds good. could also face community service if their pets acted up. that s some of the news brian and ainsley. brian: house democrats revolting against a resolution to condemn ilhan omar s anti-semitic remarks about israel. in fact it s not even on today s docket. ainsley: so why would democrats drag their feet on this? let s ask dr. ahmed member of university southern california s foundation and counsel will sill on foreign relations. thank you so much for being with us. a pleasure. ainsley: do you think this goes far enough? no. condemning anti-semitism is a universal value we all repudiate it and i support that i not only do that i combat it. it does not. this proposal will not rebuke the offender. it will not rebuke ilhan omar for her anti-semitism for her unique bigotry. there is no penalty for a future anti-semitic congress person. there is no ejection to remove her from foreign affairs committees. this is a placebo. brian: this isn t a bad day. this has been her record when she was in the statehouse, all the way up until she got this job a couple of months ago. look who congressman akeen jeffreys who knows he doesn t have the votes to condemn this. we are submitted to decisively condemning anti-semitism, racism, white supremacy, islamophobia, homophobia and the rise of hate that has taken place in the country, perhaps coincidentally over the last two years, in other words, let s blame trump. what do you think about how he has taken responsibility or lack thereof. anti-semitism is a form of hatred led to the greatest crime against humanity. i agree i condemn all xenophobe afterany kind. anti-semitism is different. i m astonished that they are going to include the word islamophobia. everyone should know islam phobia is not anti-muslim and xenophobia. violence against somebody. a hate dread against someone for personhood. post revolutionary iran to shut down scrutiny of islamist of radical islam of any institution, entity, person. that put that in there. she just got more powerful because she can say the same remarks again oh, i m criticizing israel. if you attack me, you are being islamophobic. so now the rules will change. there is no debate according to secular liberal democracy. the debate is on the term of the pro-islamist attitude. i do think the democratic leadership, many of my friends jewish democrats are absolutely heart-broken. there was real anti-semitism. brian: eliot engel for one the chairman of the department called it vile a anti-semitic slur it s democrat on democrat. not just slurs, brian. she is a militant anti-semitic movement disguised as a human rights movement which calls essentially for the erratic occasion of israel. she went and keynoted for islam mic relief. bangladesh will not have islamic relief do refugee work because they re afraid of radicalization. her actions, other than her words, point to islamist anti-semitism. the democrats, thank you for condemning anti-semitism. that s what we do at the show show foundation: she is unfit to be on the foreign affairs whe committee. ainsley: at first nancy pelosi were condemning her. all my jewish friends were excite you had that the leadership were condemning her comments. enough to it looks like they are walking that back and supporting her an the democratic party is divided and watering down this legislation or this resolution. i can only think two things. democratic leadership at the aipac speaker pelosi or own senator chuck schumer are afraid. that s one that there will be some consequences for rendering this woman s ideas pa rye a remember, this is not about her color, her vale, her race. this is about her ideas. and the other is how much of the democratic party really subscribes to these views? do they think this is going to be the basis? that is the concern. brian: they are pushing to say being questioning the israeli foreign policy is not anti-semitic. 23 middle eastern countries there, there is one democracy that stands by us through decades it is israel. why they go out of their way all the time to question israel is beyond me. not only standing by the united states but israel provides religious plurality and freedom for muslims and non-jews in israel. brian: absolutely. criticizing israel can be legitimate but unifying, making it one entity, vilifying it on terms other than any other country, that is anti-semitism. ainsley: dr. ahmed, thank you so much. brian: appreciate it lots to discuss. just ahead stunning new numbers on the crisis at the border. democrats doing everything they can to down play it. the president shut down the government and declared a border emergency, an emergency that does not exist. brian: ug, what does mark morgan think? it might surprise you. that s next. ainsley: why did this grandpa do the chicken dance? it s no joke. the answer will make your day. stick around for that video. the rational person would design an immigration system like we have today. it s dangerous for americans. it s dangerous for migrants. it undermines our nation s values and fails to uphold our fundamental obligations to the american people. although we may disagree on solutions. i hope there can be a consensus that the current system isn t working and that s emergency. steve: that s why she was there to try to get some consensus. bring in mark morgan the former border patrol chief under president obama. you saw secretar certs nielsen. listen to what she said and kevin mcenany, they have provided congressional testimony. brian: and facts. and facts. i was just going to say that you are absolutely right, brian. how did the secretary start off her testimony? there is a national emergency or crisis. and then she backed it up with facts. the commissioner did the same thing, the current chief did the same thing. ainsley: mark, you say the policies are in place from president obama. same policies. we re just enforcing them differently. how is president trump doing it differently than president obama did? that s exactly right. that s another misnomer. there are many laws already on the book for example like what he is trying to do in the san diego sector not allowing those individuals that are seeking asylum to just be brought into the united states never upon heard from again. is he saying no, you stay in mexico, file your asylum claim, and then when your hearing is ready, we will bring you in and adjudicate that. brian: you told me something in the green room. the thing that s changed over the last 10 years used to be mexicans coming over the border and send 90% back. now it s not mexicans because we changed our policy and now it s central americans and 65 to 75% stay here and they don t show up for their hearings. that s one of the key pillars that american people are being mislead about. again in the 1990s, 2,000, say a million. 90% were being removed immediately. sometimes in hours. they were adult mexicans. now, we are on track this year to reach another million. the problem is, 65 to 75% of them are going to be released in the united states. steve: yesterday mike rogers on the committee republican from alabama he said we never argued about whether borders worked until donald trump wanted them. this is not rocket science. the republicans say it s a crisis and as you are about to see the democrats say really? have you given him the grounds for this emergency declaration in the context of what emergency means? i have given him all the facts from the men and women working at the border. by my read of it is an emergency it is a dual crisis. the president shut down the government and do declared a border emergency, an emergency that does not exist. real border security cannot be achieved by building a wall on the southern border blocking asylum seekers or separating children from their parents. ainsley: they also were talking about the cages. they asked her are children put in cages? what s your response to that that were built during the obama administration? it s total lay false narrative and talking point for the democrats. they are not cages. they are actually really nice facilities. and they there are chain link fence within the facilities but it s designed so the border patrol agents working there can provide safety and security for the people that are there. and, remember, they are only there for max 72 hours before they have got to be released. brian: you have the humanitarian crisis with both sides seeing is a problem. the new york times wrote about it you have the drug problem, 80% of all illegal drugs coming from our ports of entry in the south we will never know because we don t see it if we can agree on that much, don t you think there is time for both sides to get together and solve this problem and do it almost in the way we did criminal justice reform and don t you think it s possible? congress could fix the majority of the issue in 15 minutes but they refuse. to say it s identity politics. steve: they don t want to give donald trump a win. from a law enforcement perspective, steve, can i come to no other conclusion. the facts are overwhelming. how many more do you need? brian: right. and you was there during the obama years. ainsley: why are you speaking out if you represented president obama, why do you disagree with what s happening now? because the president is right. president trump is right. it s that simple. brian: right. we have a crisis. brian: you don t necessarily represent president obama. you just served his last year. you have wanted to stick around but the border patrol decided they are going to put their own person in. there and that s okay. steve: it s a pleasure to have you on the couch today. thank you for having me. ainsley: jillian is behind you and she has some headlines for us. jillian: good morning. good morning to everyone. start off with this story we are following. the air force is responding after senator martha mcsally reveals she was sexually assaulted by a superior officer in the military. i stayed silent for many years but later in my career, as a military grappled with scandals and their wholly inadequate responses, i felt the need to let some people know i too was a survivor. jillian: an air force spokesperson saying in part we are appalled and deeply sorry for what senator mcsally experienced and we stand behind her and all victims of sexual assault. a bible will stay on display at a v.a. hospital after a so-called bully tried removing it. a lawyer for the first liberty institute telling fox news, quote: if he wants to remove that display or any part of it, is he going to have to come through us. the group standing up after the leader of another group objected because it promoted one faith over another. the bible was given to the new hampshire v.a. hospital by a former prisoner. all right. you have got to stop what you are doing and watch this. a semi struck slams into a construction worker. did you see that?

i have no idea. janice: i m coming over to your place later on i m in huntington for a book signing. brian: book review in huntington? janice: brian kilmeade put a sign up. we will be doing a book signing of mostly sunny. you guys are from texas. what part?

yes. janice: all right. let s go. we will go to dinner first with brian kilmeade at his home. brian: my complex. compound. janice: fantastic. steve: look for janice dean at book review. brian: every major book goes through book review. one of the best towns in america. ainsley: you have a big crowd out there janice. steve: mostly sunny. the democratic socialist from new york has a list of moderate democrats who don t embrace socialism. 2020 presidential hopeful john delaney might be on there he says he doesn t care. he is going to join us live. ainsley: judge just ruled aborted child has the same rights as a person. what does it mean for the abortion debate? that debate coming up next u. steve: good morning, judge being a usaa member, because of my service in the military, you pass that on to my kids. something that makes me happy. being able to pass down usaa to my girls means a lot to both of us. he s passing part of his heritage of being in the military. we re the edsons. my name is roger zapata. we re the tinch family, and we are usaa members for life. to begin your legacy, get an insurance quote today. raquen. rakutahn. rakooten. rakuten oh! is this my money?

it did take me by surprise because the supreme court, regrettably roe v. wade still the law of the land says a fetus is not a person. what s the significance of personhood? the fifth amendment says if the government wants life, liberty or property from a person, there has to be a trial. so if the fetus in the womb is a person, no legal abortion could happen because you you would have to prove that somehow the fetus in the womb did something wrong. for that reason as horrific as this logic is roe v. wade has said a fetus is not a person. that s why regrettably this courageous move by this alabama judge will eventually be overturned. but roe v. wade is wrong in the definition of a person because if a child is born, you know, children are born all the time a month two, months prematurely and they re a person. isn t it wrong? judge: i agree with you. but roe v. wade until it is interfered with by the court supreme court court law of the land. i have been arguing that the fetus in the womb is a person. the fetus has human parents and all the human genome necessary to actualize into humanity. but roe v. wade is to the contrary. let me tell you what this alabama judge. this courageous alabama judge whom i don t know and never met succeeded in doing. teeing up this issue so that there is a debate about the personhood of the fetus. why is that important? because in some states like where we are now where abortion is legal up to the moment of birth, are a baby that survives the abortion is permitted to die. the doctor is permitted to neglect that baby. ainsley: something we haven t talked about, too. this is the boyfriend, the man. normally the man can t sue if the woman gets an abortion. you are 100 percent correct and you are thinking logically. the courts don t think that way. the courts say the father doesn t have the right to interfere with the abortion. that that s an obstacle for the woman s choice. steve: can t you still have abortion and define a person before birth? no. because if the fetus is a person, you cannot kill a person without a jury trial. and at the jury trial you would have to prove false. all of this is bubbling to the head so that the horrors of what happens when babies survive abortions will eventually be addressed by the court. brian: do you know what the mvp for the abortion debate is the 3-d sonogram that s bringing these babies to life at an earlier time every day. judge: you are so good, kilmeade. only you could call this an mvp. most valuable person we are talking about. brian: we will see you on your show today, right? judge: yes, oh my goodness we have senator mike braun from indiana who says congress should not be getting pension. congress should not be getting pay raises and they shouldn t get paid when the government is closed. liberty file on fox nation. judge: thanks, brian. steve: we did reach out to the alabama reproductive center in huntsville. they have not responded. judge, thank you very much. brian: man charged with attacking a conservativ activist berkeley pleaded not guilty. we just learned is he no stranger to police. why as the left or everybody else been so silent on this? ainsley: michelle malkin is here live at the top of the hour love you let me go billions of mouths. billions of problems. morning breath? garlic breath? stinky breath? there s a therabreath for you. therabreath fresh breath oral rinse instantly fights all types of bad breath and works for 24 hours. so you can. breathe easy. there s therabreath at walmart. cancer, epilepsy, mental health, hiv. patients with serious diseases are being targeted for cuts to their medicare drug coverage. new government restrictions would allow insurance companies to come between doctor and patient. and deny access to individualized therapies millions depend on. call the white house today. help stop cuts to part d drug coverage that put medicare patients at risk. steve: a suspect in california accused of attacking a conservative activist at berkeley last week officially pled not guilty as his victim s attorney revealed concerns about his past. listen to this. mr. greenberg over the past couple of years has had numerous incidents where he has filed several lawsuits against landlords for charges that were later dismissed by the court. he has also had a restraining order filed against him by a former room mate. almost a dozen lawsuits i have uncovered that this man is involved. in a lot more to be asked about this guy. ainsley: she goes on to sigh firearms confiscated restraining order three felony charges and misdemeanor charge. michael knowles is host of the michael knowles shows and joins us to react. thank you for being with us. why are the democrats so silent on this? well, the trouble is this particular guy is obviously a wacko, is he a thug. he has a long history of this. the trouble for the democrats and for the left is that he is emblematic of a larger problem. this isn t the first time this has happened to berkeley. this is a problem all over the country. the issue is the left redefining speech as violence. steve: what do you make of the president at cpac where he pulled the fellow who was attacked up on stage and then he said essentially that he was going to come up with some sort of executive order pulling federal funding from colleges that don t support free speech? this is very important. the william f. buckley jr. program at yale did a survey. 81% of college students believe that speech can be a form of violence. and so what do you do to this form of violence? steve: you turn it off. yeah, you turn it off. it justifies violence against conservatives. and we saw this two years ago at uc berkeley. eric. steve: where you speak all the time? they love having me there. at berkeley, eric clanton, community college professor, hit conservatives over the head with a bike lock and what happened to him? three years probation. and so president trump at cpac he said well, is there going to be justice served here? we have to wait and see. brian: do you know what they are seeing this goes all the way up to the freshman class in congress. their intolerant way of disrespecting their own leadership. they created this monster now they can t control it. there is a little shrock and freud when you see this shift among democrats in congress. unfortunately they thought as a tactic they could hurt conservatives to define speech as violence to censure people. now they are seeing the fruit of that ideological poison. brian: do you think the president was right to bring the victim on stage and point him out at cpac. absolutely. we know politics is downstream of culture. president trump made a key aspect of his campaign stopping political correctness. stopping censorship. stopping violence for speech and if we don t get that fixed, we are not going to fix any of our other political problems. steve: on the good side berkeley came out and said that the attack was reprehensible. what a great consolation. we are fine now. ainsley: it did take a while but at least they got the guy. steve: thank you so much. absolutely. hitting the plane. steve: still ahead on her thursday telecast. eric trump, son of the president, john bolton, you know him. marco rubio, the senator, john delaney would like to be president michelle malkin who has all sorts of things to say in three minutes. what bad back? advil is. relief that s fast. strength that lasts. you ll ask. what pain? with advil liqui-gels. think only specialty stores have what s new? olay has the hottest debut. new olay clay stick masks, hydrating facial mist, and brightening eye cream. only by olay. where he actually asked meon i be mommy what s wrongr, with your teeth? if i would ve known that i was gonna be 50 times happier. i would ve gone into aspen dental much sooner. it was a very life changing experience. and it felt like i was me again. that s when i realized i hadn t been for three years. at aspen dental we re all about yes. like yes to flexible hours and payment options. yes to free exam and x-rays for new patients without insurance. and yes whenever you re ready to get started, we are too. call now at 1-800-aspendental. this is not a manufactured crisis. this is truly a emergency. your oath to the president or your oath to the president of the united states. no ma am, the oath is to the constitution. could fix the majority of the issue in 15 minutes. it s identity politics. steve: democrats keep pushing back a vote on a resolution to condemn congresswoman omar s anti-semitism remarks. anti-semitism is a hatred unlike any other. it led to the greatest crime against humanity. tlaib says. i will be file impeachment. 23 victims of the deadly tornadoes in alabama. president trump will tour the devastation in lee county tomorrow. this week i was diagnosed with stage for pancreatic cancer. i m going to fight. this keep the faith and we will win steve: so cold when i got up to come to work it was 9 degrees. brian: i was going to sleep outside until i saw it was going to drop overnight. steve: again? did your wife ask to you sleep in the car? brian: that was between us. [laughter] steve: anyway, thank you so much for joining us. listen, our top story, 1 million illegal arrivals are expected at our southern border this year. a million. ainsley: pretty shocking. that shocking claim from homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen. griff jenkins is in washington. those numbers are in the new to him. backlash from the democrats who called the emergency declaration fake like those caravans, they will never reach the border, right, griff? that s right. good morning, guys. the chairman of that home land security committee benny thompson says there is no emergency calling it nonexistent and boy did he grill secretary nielsen, watch. we are still using cages? bp never pumps will you put a child in a cage. purposely or whatever are we still putting children in cages today. children are processed at the border security stations that you have been at. and i have seen the cages. i just want to you admit that the cages exist. sir, they are not cages. in her testimony nielsen painted a troubling picture of what s to come. >come. the projections are dire at the current pace we are on track to encounter close to 1 million illegal aliens at our southern border this year. our capacity is already severely restrained but these increases will overwhelm the system entirely. this is not a manufactured crisis. this is truly an emergency. after the hearing i confronted chairman thompson regarding his nonemergency assertion. he visited the border in el paso at the same time i was in juarez. here is what he had to say. i look at what the numbers say. at that time, the numbers were down. if we would do what the system requires to be done, then i think we can accommodate it. but when we create situations, where the law doesn t allow for it to be created, it s a manufactured crisis. here s the problem with that, the numbers. he says it was down when, in fact, according to the numbers we released and reported here yesterday, apprehensions for family units in el paso is up 1689% from this time last year. i pressed him specifically on that as well and he walked away. guys? steve: threthere you go. let s bring in michelle malkin syndicated columnist. she joins us today. yesterday we had sarah huckabee sanders on and she said in february alone 76,000 people tried to were apprehended as they came into our country. she said it s the same as metlife stadium which is just across the river over in new jersey. when you think about that,. ainsley: in one month. steve: one month a stadium full of people every month that s approaching a million people as we just heard from the expert yesterday. yeah, we are talking about populations of cities now essentially. and if you put out those projections, you know over the long-term it is alarming. i said at cpac that the red emergency lights are blinking on america. and this has been a long brewing problem. i think that what the white house should do is put live stream cameras at the ranches on the border of ranchers and property owners who have been warning about this for decades. and that s the problem. is that the beltway swamp is so out of touch with the humanitarian crisis, the economic crisis. the cultural crisis that has been created by negligence and apathy in both parties, unfortunately. and, you know, have you got republicans who are not going to side with the republicans on a national emergency declaration? what is going on here? and in the meantime things are going to just get worse. you guys have quoted that the projections for this year will be up to a million of these families and illegal alien migrants coming from south and central america and where are they going to go? you know, where is the detention space for these people? let alone the fact that they re just going to be turned out and let loose into the country. these are future democrat voters who are never going to budge from the left. it is an electoral crisis for the republican party as well. brian: do we have a social safety net for the people of guatemala or el salvador or the people of america which is already overtaxed? 87 of the people apprehended coming here illegally from south america do not go through the port of entry. that s why i need a barrier. in terms of what democrats and republicans are looking to act on, they both are beginning to agree on the humanitarian crisis so it show as little bit of progress. nancy pelosi is quoted this way i just don t. steve: that s about our next one. brian: but in particular, you cannot get leadership on the democratic side to go along with this. but you did see some breaking over the course of three hours because the these apprehension numbers are hard core facts. both have talked out of both sides of their mouth border security and we need smart border security dumb nancy pelosi says. you know what? all of this argues for is for president trump to take executive action and simply shut it down. and the magnet is still untouched here of asylum. that s what drawing these families. they know they will be caught and released into the country if they simply make a false claim of credible persecution. ainsley: michelle talk about ilhan omar the freshman congresswoman. there was a house resolution that was meant to present anti-semitism after some of the comments she made. it looks like now nancy pelosi is bowing now to the radicalized. they are all changing their tunes. she is saying that it was not intentionally anti-semitic. and then she says this. i don t think this is just about comments by congresswoman omar, which i do think were intentional which i do not think were intentionally anti-semitic. why the change of tune? they were condemning her at first and now they are putting new language in this resolution that might not even pass. yeah, nancy pelosi fears the radical left and the fringe has become the center of the democrat party. this is proof of it. just a couple of weeks ago, before ilhan omar made even worse anti-semitic comments, nancy pelosi was condemning her, right? she said we should thought be engaging in disseminating anti-semitic tropes. that s an exact quote. what did ilhan omar do? she put even more of those tropes out there and now nancy pelosi s argument is that this a inadvertent anti-semitism? inadvertent hate? can you imagine if republicans made this argument that oopsy that it was accidental racism and anti-semitism? it s flabbergasting. steve: michelle, when you look at how the republicans handled some extraordinary comments made by steve king, the republican from iowa, about white supremacy, they kicked him off of all of his committees. now republicans are say hey, there is a double standard here. you have got this freshman member of the incoming class and she has said some things that deserve to get her kicked off the committees and, yet, nancy pelosi is standing by her. yeah. well, i think there is a double standard. i know steve king, i have known him a long time. is he a good man. i think he was thrown under the bus by people who knee jerk sea. s about the new york times which is essentially an anti republican, anti-conservative organ. let s talk about another standard. governor norment mr. blackface moon walking michael jackson impersonator is still in office out of all of this time. let me talk about something else, which is that president trump is the strongest defender of israel and, yet, he continues to be subjected to attacks by the spoc and others that he is anti-semitic. it s absolutely absurd and i think if nancy pelosi continues down this path, karma is going to come back at her because this ilhan omar is obviously beyond control and if you think that she is going to be reigned in after this you are kidding yourself. has she lost control of the democratic party, nancy pelosi? she absolutely has. like i said, the fringe has become the center of the democrat party. and you look at the field of candidates for the democrat presidential nomination and who are they all backing? ilhan omar. brian: they are all spineless. so far lost total control of the party. also moving ahead on impeachment. she told the party not yet, we are not ready as did other chairman of other committees. they are going ahead and offer it sometime this month. michelle malkin thanks so much. ainsley: thanks, michelle. you bet. ainsley: jillian has headlines. jillian: that s right. all the missing people from that deadly alabama tornado are now accounted for. today two of the 23 victims will be put to rest. take a look these wooden crosses set up to memorialize their lives as anonymous donors pledge to pay for all of the funerals. president trump will tour the devastation in lee county from those tornadoes tomorrow. a man accused of stabbing an uber driver in the chest. look at the shocking surveillance video. showing the suspect attacking the driver in philadelphia. he pulled out a knife during an argument with a female passenger getting into the car. the driver got away as the suspect wrestled the woman. he is hospitalized in stable condition. a second federal judge ruling the census question on citizenship is unconstitutional. ninth circuit judge richard says the trump administration s decision to add the question in 2020, quote: threatens the very foundation of our democratic system. he claims it will cause immigrants and latinos to be under represented. the supreme court will hear the trump administration s appeal of the first ruling next month. the chicago bears just signed a kicker blew it to replace one who really blew it free eight chris blueitt capped off only missing this field goal against the philadelphia eagles knocking his team out of playoffs. the bears are expected to release parky. you still look at that and like oh, you feel for him. steve: even though you are a philly fan. jillian: i know. and parky was once on the eagles. steve: small world. brian: nic foals is leaving i know you are upset by that strike obama era rule drone strikes. change to the battlefield. ainsley: alex trebek stunning sad announcement he was pancreatic cancer. why is it so deadly and are think any warning signs?

it s because it s deep in the body, ainsley. by the time you know about it, it can be very far advanced as in alex trebek s case. you don t get warning signs. you may eventually get yellow eyes or lose weight or get back pain. by the time that happens, it s at least 50% of the time already advanced we re just starting to figure it out. something coming out this year people will get into clinical trials and figure out genetic signatures. everybody has a different kind of cancer and personalize treatments. that s going to start to make a difference. really just the beginning. very, very tough diagnosis. ainsley: most men and women after a certain age have annual physicals. we test things for this. there are poo teens but not yet where we can really tell unless we are doing a cat scan on everyone. we have warning signs. people who smoke who are at risk. people drink too much at risk. people that are overweight and a family histories these are the people we are really looking at to see if they could be at risk. now, i also believe, of course, as alex trebek very positive attitude. i believe in the power of prayer in a situation like this. ainsley: 3% of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer survive more than five years. 3%. numbers are low someone has got to survive. if you catch it early you can actually do a curative surgery. but, again, catching it early is very, very hard. i believe in medical miracles and mind over matter. i will tell you one thing with his attitude he is at very least studies have shown stay healthy for a lot longer than if he wasn t looking at it that way. i want to get those three years in he says. i wouldn t bet against him that power of positive thinking really helps a lot. ainsley: what was your reaction when you heard this news. i was shocked as everyone was because he looks so healthy. of course, this is how it happens. one day you are fine. and the next day, bam, you have a death sentence and i will tell you, it s a wake-up call for everyone out there to enjoy their lives, to get everything possibly positive they can to love each other and never take anything for granted. ainsley: on average, how long did most someone with stage four pancreatic cancer have to live? unfortunately it s only a matter of a year, a year and a half usually. that s on average. it can be less. it can be more. you know, but that s a very, very tough sentence to get. it s one of our worst cancers. one of our most deadly. there is incredible amount of effort going into it right now to say where are the mutations. how can i target this? can immunotherapy work? can genetic treatment work. we are finally starting to bring into play for pancreatic cancer. i predict and as you pointed out we are going to be able to diagnosis it earlier. get better test force finding the abnormal proteins. five years from now and three years from now we will be having a different discussion about this. ainsley: we hope he will continue to work. we all watch jeopardy it s something we have on in the house all the time. he has done a lot ainsley with charitable christian organizations world vision around the world. uso for the military. ainsley: he is a good man. he is a good man. ainsley: god bless him. if you are a prayer. remember him in your prayers today. john bolton will join us live come up. democratic isocialist from new s a list. is john delaney 2020 democratic can presidential candidate will join us next. do i use a toothpaste that whitens my teeth?

i don t embrace socialism. i think the genius of america in many ways is that we have embraced capitalism and all of its power to innovate and create jobs. but we moderated it with strong social programs, right? so i think it s a bit of a false choice. and what we haven t done in the last several decades in my opinion is build the kind of programs we need tone sure that capitalism really serves the interest of all americans. and that s what we have to get back to. we don t have to throw our model out the window. we have to recommit to our model which is letting capitalism innovate, flight it s the greatest innovation machine ever but also making sure that our citizens are prepared for the disruptive effect of capitalism whether that be the social safety net, investing in our public schools so they get the kind of education they need to succeed in a world that s changing. brian: governor hickenlooper might be in your lane some issues amy klobuchar everybody else is way left. a lot of them are taking their cues from the offer author of the green new deal alexandria ocasio-cortez. she says this: i didn t see they were putting themselves on a list for primaries when she was asked about if you don t start going along with some of of my programs i will put you on a list and primary you. i will be breaking off with procedural voters. they are inadvertently making targets for the g.o.p. and vote. she is going to look for people to primary you. you are not in congress anymore. you would be a candidate to be prime married. i do think getting rid of ice is bad policy. i can t really comment on what s going on in the house now. i m not in the house anymore. i didn t run for re-election so i could dedicate myself fully to run for president. brian: you know that s a lot to do with the party. kamala harris. i think the party is going through a big discussion. my sense is the democratic party when i go talk to voters, i have done 24 trips to iowa and new hampshire. 24 to iowa, 1420 new hampshire. when i talk to voters on the ground there, they are not nearly as divided as people think they are. in fact, in iowa they just did a poll two weeks ago they asked iowa caucus goers, democratic caucus go everiers, do you want a nominee work with republicans and get things done or someone stick rigidly to ideological believes it was 86 for. that s that tells you where the primary voters are and where americans are. brian: you could say many on the left are pushing democrats left. when you see. so so-called frontrunners with the biggest names who say free preschool, free college and make statements like senator elizabeth warren when she came out and said the rich are free loaders. and you are a self made success story. are you a free lord. >a loader? i m self-made in oe context. my dad was electrician. his union paid for me to go or paid for me to go to college. a bunch of electricians helped me to go to college. in many ways no one is really self-made in this country. united stated to drive home from the capital every day from my house in maryland across the memorial bridge look out at arlington cemetery. that reminds you that we are all in this together the sacrifice some people made. some of those are good policies. pre-k, universal pre-k which i support that s actually smart policy and many ways it s conservative policy. kids who get pre-k if you look at how they perform across the rest of educational experience it s the best investment we make. brian: that s fine. you want washington deciding what should be done in north dakota pre-k. i would like washington to create incentives for north dakota to pre-k. they can tell to offer but can create incentives for north dakota to create universal pre-k that s the way you do it. the washington post does a column and calls you the smartest presidential candidate that you have never heard of. what s your reaction to that? well, we have got to brian: you like the first half? listen, i think jennifer rubin is a very astute columnist. we had a great conversation. we talked about issues. she asked me what i think of the fiscal trajectory of the country. i told her. we talked about what we should do about climate change which i think we should innovate our way out of the problem. brian: you don t think we should make cows old news, and get rid of planes. i think we should put a tax on carbon. i introduced the only bipartisan congress tax bill in the congress. we put a tax on carbon and take all the money and give it back to the american people so it changes behavior. what i want to do is invest in innovation because we can innovate our way out of this problem just the same way we have innovated our way out of so many other problems. brian: depends how you do it when you see solyndra a you as a businessman must be taken back. negative emission policies. these are machines that actually take carbon out of the atmosphere. they exist today. the problem is they are really expensive. if we create you had a market for them just like we did with wind and solar the prices came down because we created a market. we do the same with this the american economy will innovate our way out of this problem. great to see you. great to be here in person. brian: best of luck. thank you. brian: get rid of your nukes or more sanctions are coming. he joins us live next. plus, hockey fans make a big save on the national anthem stops playing. we have the video that will give you goose bumps. an entire arena of patriots stepping up and sings without any voice, without any words on the jumbotron the land of the free and the home of the brave [music playing] (vo) this is jerry. jerry has a membership to this gym, but he s not using it. and he has subscriptions to a music service he doesn t listen to and five streaming video services he doesn t watch. this is jerry learning that he s still paying for this stuff he s not using. he s seeing his recurring payments in control tower in the wells fargo mobile app. this is jerry canceling a few things. booyah. this is jerry appreciating the people who made this possible. oh look, there they are. (team member) this is wells fargo. don t you know that she is some kind of wonderful. she s some kind of wonderful yes she is. steve: wonderful without gridlock in front of the building. that s always a plus. ainsley: that won t last long. steve: yeah, it s early. go down to the white house. john bolton the white house national security advisor joins us live where it s a little on the chilly side. john, good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. glad to be with you. steve: hey, what s going on with north korea? it looks like according to satellite imry like the imageryy are rebuilding something. that s not good the president says. he said yesterday he is very, very disappointed about it he said also quite correctly it s early. we have other kinds of information other than the commercial imagery. but, look, the president spent hours with kim jong un in hanoi trying to reach the right deal with him. we know what that looks like. it s denuclearization by north korea next change for a very bright economic future. the north koreans weren t there. we are obviously going to watch what they do. that s what the president is trying to get. to say. ainsley: if they are reassembling, will they use it right away or can they use it right away. i don t think we really are in a position to say at this stage. obviously we have a lot of ways of getting information. we re going to study this situation carefully as the president said it would be very, very disappointing if they were taking this direction. brian: john, i heard there was a last-minute push by kim jong un to keep you guys at the table. how would you characterize what he tried to do when it was clear you were walking out. i don t think there was any last-minute push. there were extensive discussions. i think the president made our position very clear. kim jong un had presented a formula that the north koreans have tried before. it was unsatisfactory. you know, what they would like is relief from the economic sanctions. steve: sure. and compliance with what we want which full denuclearization comes later. that s been a path prior north korean regimes have used to get a lifeline for their economy. brian: there was none at the end hey don t go anywhere, what about this? there was no last nuances to their offer? not that i saw, that s for sure. steve: john, there was serious reporting that said that the two sides were far apart even before the president left the united states. and he felt like he would be able to persuade chairman kim, given his personal relationship. is that accurate? well, i think the north koreans obviously would like to give up as little of their nuclear and biological and chemical weapons and ballistic missile programs as they could in exchange for very broad sanctions relief. that s basically what they asked for. the president wasn t buying it. he said, look, we want the big deal that will give north korea a bright future. but which results in complete denuclearization. so the president is obviously open to talking again. we will see when that might be scheduled or how it would work out. but, he thinks the deal is there if north korea is prepared to look at the big picture. ainsley: we will wait and see if there is a third summit. the vice president says he wants to revoke 77 visas that are held by officials in the maduro government. the white house also threatening to impose sanctions on foreign banks that do business with the government of venezuela. tell us more about this. well, look, the maduro regime has been ripping off the venezuelan people since it has been in power going back to when hugo chavez was there they have plundered the state oil company. they are engaged in illegal drug trafficking. they are moving resources out of the country to what they think are going to be safe havens. we want a peaceful transfer of power from maduro who juan guaido who rerecognize is interim president by the way along with 50 other countries, most of the democracies in the world. and so we think increased pressure against maduro and his cleat is the way to help the venezuelan opposition get that peaceful transition of power. steve: all right. meanwhile yesterday the president met with danny burch. he was the american who was held by yemen for 18 months. and we re all glad he is out. john? look, it s a very emotional moment is the best way can i describe it whenever the president welcomes an american hostage back and it was emotional yesterday, danny burch said how glad he was to be in america now that he was back on our soil. and this is the 20th hostage that president trump has been able to get out of captivity without ever paying anything. unlike the obama administration paying to get the iranian hostage some of the iranianian hostages released. the president also called crowned prince of the united arab emirates to thank him for the uae s efforts to get mr. burch out. mr. burch s son in the office it was really really great. brian: don t complain about the weather you could have been here on the couch but you chose to go to the white house. i m ready for it. ainsley: thank you. great to be with you. ainsley: hand it over to jillian. jillian: president trump is scrapping an obama era rule on drone strikes. the president signing an executive order sending a policy that required us to report the number of civilian deaths caused by drones. previously intelligence officials had to publish an annual report on deadly airstrikes outside of war zones. critics of the obama era policy said it interfered with counter-terrorism efforts. facebook wants to make its site a little less social. ceo mark zuckerberg says the company is focusing more on private conversations and less on publicly shared posts. in a blog post he promised end to end encryption on facebook and announced plans to merge messaging for facebook it, what s app. and instagram. a hero bus driver jumps into action when a little boy starts choking on the school bus. carolyn gearing rushing to save second grader allen love green. she gave him the heim electric maneuver possibly saving his life. i just couldn t breathe. i was scared. i saw like terror in his face. he was and i turned around and he goes alan is choking. alan s brother, who first got the driver s attention called her the hero of the day. an incredible moment at high school hockey game. the recording of the national anthem stopped and then happened next. o er of the free and the home of the brave [cheers and applause] the massachusetts teacher who shot the video says the crowd never skipped a beat. he calls it a real special moment. ainsley: that s beautiful. the person who was supposed to sing didn t show up? jillian: the recording stopped. steve: they were already singing along with it. brian: seems like we are having so many problems with the national anthem. ainsley: the crowd always comes through. jillian: why can t it be easy. brian: unbelievable. i thought we had the anthem down. steve: we have it down. remember the homeless guy and the couple? well, remember the homeless guy supposedly gave her his last 20 bucks and then they were charged in that massive go fund me scam? well, a big update on the case. we think you got to hear it and it is coming up. and they are going to prison. ainsley: plus, if you have little ones, forget k through 13. one lawmaker is pushing for it he joins us live next. k through 13. should i stay or should i go now should i stay or should i go now gonna be around. i m worried about my parents retirement. oh, don t worry. voya helps them to and through retirement. .dealing with today s expenses. .like college. .while helping plan, invest and protect for the future. so they ll be okay. without me?

our next guest is calling for an optional 13th year of school to help prepare boston students for college. this after a recent report by the boston globe newspaper that found that one quarter of the city s valedictorians between 2005 and 2007 failed to finish college within six years. amazing. so could an extra year help? joining us right now boston city counselor at large michael later iny joins us from boston. michael, good morning to you. good morning, steve, thanks for having me. explain how this 13th year would work. obviously as you mentioned it would be an optional program. if you think about boston. we boast of having the best colleges and universities in the world. we also recognize that we re home to 16,000 high school kids. not enough of those kids are getting into schools. the ones that do are unable to stay in. that s a problem. 13 very similar to pg not a new phenomenon. people know it. when i went to school kids wanted to enhance their opportunity to get into division 1 school for sports get faster stronger. one year intense college prep course load program to get those math scores and english scores up and help them with their sats get into great schools that call boston their home. at the same time many of these schools provide scholarship opportunities but unfortunately we are not meeting the threshold to get the kids into the school. this is helping about helping kids and families. steve: michael. when you look nearly half of boston students who enter college do not graduate within six years, obviously the 13th year would be great. and it sounds terrific but how are you going to pay for it? so we have in boston what s called the pilot program payment in lieu of taxes. our colleges, our hospitals our nonprofits opt in to a payment program. we are hoping that one of boston s finest college or universities want to partner with us. also, we are looking at a lot of the companies founded here or the ones that are coming here g.e. and amazon, et cetera, maybe they would be willing to sponsor and partner this program. they are coming here tore tap into the intellectual capital. we want to make sure the economic opportunity. steve: it s a great town one of my kids went to boston college. me too. steve: it s a good school go eagles. a great school. steve: back up a little bit. how does payment in lieu of taxes work there? so, college and universities, you know, they don t pay taxes because they are considered to be nonprofit institutions. they opt in and they voluntarily cut a check basically to the city in lieu of services. so if you just think about whether it s 911 or trash collection, public safety, public works, et cetera, we re getting pennies on the dollar from our universities. great opportunity for them to partner with us. give back to the great city that hosts them. steve: great city of boston, their public schools put out this statement, michael. boston public schools officials are reviewing the hearing order. we are always open to ideas on how to provide better outcomes for the 55,000 students we serve. and we are happy to listen to feedback from elected officials and community members to engage in the productive dialogue. i would imagine that parents are for this but once again, it s how do we pay for it? a lot of parents it s an optional program. going to be the student with the parent with the guidance counselor with the school administrator to see if it s a great fit. it s not just about getting kids into these great schools. it s also in the trades. particularly those that have a strong math requirement. this is, again, another year of kids this is for miley motivated kids. kidserious about going to one these great institutions and make sure they are prepared for the global economy. steve: let s see how it goes. keep us posted on this. michael flair a flaherty. thank you, steve. have a great day. steve: 10 minutes before the top of the hour. why are some democrats launching so many investigations into president trump? weave to make sure that this is not a dictatorship and that the rule of slaw respected. steve: okay. eric trump, the son of the president, with reaction coming up very shortly. plus, taylor swift is stepping back into politics? at least that s what carley shimkus has to say. as you can see carley is waving and walking and she is next on fox & friends. hey. acoustic guitar] (male announcer) we know these memories will last longer than the wrapping paper. we know there s some things you just can t put a bow on. we know the best gift of all is still out there. we know the great outdoors. we love the great outdoors. bass pro shops and cabela s where incredible selection, great people, and an experience like no other all come together. -it s our confident forever plan. -welcome to our complete freedom plan. -it s all possible with a cfp professional. -find your certified financial planner™ professional at letsmakeaplan.org. with who we are as people and making everybody feel welcome. ordering custom ink t-shirts has been a really smart decision for our business. i love the custom ink design lab because it s really easy to use. they have customer service that you can reach anytime. t-shirts help us immediately get a sense of who we are as a group. from the moment clients walk in, they re able to feel like part of the family. - [spokesman] custom ink has hundreds of products for your business and free shipping. upload your logo or start your design today bad love take a look what have you done. ainsley: pop super star taylor swift spoke out about politics for the first time last fall when she pushed tennessee to vote for bill breads sen for senate. he lost that seat. that is not stopping taylor swift from staying silent in 2020. steve: i saw so many issues that put our most vulnerable citizens at risk and i felt like i had to speak up to feel like i had to make a change. i m going to do more to help. we have a big race coming up next year. brian: here with reaction lighting up social media fox news headline reporter sirius 115. carley shimkus. there is another senate seat open in tennessee maybe she can get it right this time. we learned it hillary clinton that celebrity endorsements really don t hold that much weight. this is interesting. because she used to be a country star so a lot of her fans live in deep red states which is why we are seeing some reaction like this: jonna says on twitter well, no offense to taylor but she was pretty vocal in the tennessee senate election that didn t work out so well. might want to focus on the music. notice to all performers shut up and sing. we don t care about your opinions on politics. people pay to see you sing not to listen to your political opinions. and another twitter user says good, she needs to use her influence to highlight what s going on in this country and she has a huge platform and loyal fans. so, you know, so people feel all sorts of ways about this. it does depend on your own personal political opinions. and voter registration surged after she first got political. ainsley: do you think it hurts her though certain people who used to like her who don t agree with her politically. sure it could hurt her. i don t think it will overall affect her album from selling out and her concerts. brian: got a pretty good relationship with tim cook, right? that s right. steve: he did. well, so tim cook was at the white house yesterday. the president is very good at giving nicknames. but it looks like this one may have been a bit of an accident. watch this. we have so many companies coming in. people like tim you are expanding all over and doing things that i wanted you to right from the beginning. tim, you have got to start doing it over here and you really have. i mean, have you really put a big investment in our country. we appreciate it tim very much apple. he has a lot on his mind. ainsley: you can cook apples. steve: the people with the go fund me scam may go to prison. homeless man named johnny bobbitt and kate mcclure and her boyfriend. pleading to the scamming 14,000 people out of $400,000. she faces 20 years in prison. he faces 10. the boyfriend faces lesser charges. this is a big deal. and that story i remember reporting on that story when it was a heart-warming story. steve: go fund me gave the money back. brian: always heart warm toggle seheart-warmingto see yo. dana loesch, marco rubio and eric trump will be here and they look exactly like that. . . . there s brushing.and there s oral-b power brushing. oral-b just cleans better. even my hygienist said going electric could lead to way cleaner teeth. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the first electric toothbrush brand accepted by the ada. oral-b. brush like a pro. oh! oh! oh! ozempic®!

in our area we re not seeing asylum-seekers. we re seeing more criminal activity. i don t even know how to express the disappointment in what s going on. brian: house democrats revolting against a resolution to condemn congresswoman ilhan omar anti-semitic remarks. nancy pelosi fierce the radical left. the left has become the center of the democratic party this is proof of it. the man accused punching a person at berkeley pleads not guilty. i will fight this. keep the faith and we ll win. with his attitude he is a at very least, studies have shown going to stay healthy for a lot longer if he wasn t looking at it this way. who is that?

brian: i m not saying i don t. ainsley: moving on. one million illegal arrivals expected at border just this year alone. brian: that shocking claim from homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen. steve: griff jenkins is in washington. a lot of push back from democrats. they do not want the president to get the wall or emergency declaration. reporter: sure was, steve. secretary nielsen paint ad very different picture for them. the projections are dire. at the current pace we re on track to encounter close to one million illegal aliens at our southern border this year. our capacity is already severely restrained. these increases will overwhelm the system entirely. this is not manufactured crisis. this is truly an emergency. reporter: that didn t stop him from grilling her. we still using cages? cpb never purposely put child in a cage. purposely, whatever. are we putting children in cages as of today? children are processed a the border facility stayingses that you have been at. some of them i ve seen the cages. i just want you to admit the cages exist. sir they re not cages. reporter: after hearing i confronted chairman thompson regarding non-emergency asession. he went to el paso at same time i was across in juarez. here is what he had to say. i look what the numbers say. at that time the numbers were down. we will do what the system requires to be done. i think we can accommodate it. but when we create situations where the law doesn t allow for it to be created, it s a manufactured crisis. reporter: here is the problem with that he says he looks at numbers. here are the numbers. in fact, according to cpb, numbers released yesterday, apprehensions for family units in el paso up 1689% this time compared to last year. i pressed him on that thousand the numbers in his face. look, what did you see, what did he tell you? he walked away wouldn t answer the question. in calexico, another caravan of 400 migrants arrived yesterday by train. steve: right there on border. brian: goes on the beast. goes right through mexico. no problem. steve: griff, thank you very much. mike rogers, ranking member of committee, republican from alabama. we never argued whether borders worked until donald trump wanted them this is not rocket science. but it is all part of the narrative the republicans are putting out there. there are problems down there. president needs wall funding. he needs, if he is not getting it through congress the regular way, he will dot emergency declaration. ainsley: i was watching fox & friends first. great show. brandy johnson, she was on a couple they lived down there on the border. they own a ranch. i believe it is in texas. she said they have kids. in order to walk around on their property because they have 7 miles of property totally open without any barriers. they have to take weapons. they have to be aware of their surroundings. they go in the area only during the daylight. listen to this. in our area we re not seeing asylum-seekers. we re seeing more criminal activity. yeah. so we have what they call drive-throughs, which is vehicles crossing. we have foot traffic, which is what border patrol, their terminology. and then, you just, i don t know. our kids are seeing it. we re seeing it. it is really hard to hear people say we re making this up. it is very disheartening. if you don t live it, i don t even know how to express just the disappointment and what s going on. brian: they re frustrated. unaccompanied minor apprehensions, i m not saying they re a physical threat, they are up 55%. is that crisis? overall apprehensions are up 335% from a year ago. does that seem like a crisis? they had 85,000 people come through that month. is that a crisis? they expect a surge to come in the fall? how many more people are we supposed to absorb coming here illegally before we re overburdennenned. we re taking in entire populations of other countries. ainsley: another crisis. we re all parents. you are home are a parent or have a heart for kids. these kids, 10-year-olds and up are getting pregnancy tests. steve: the girls. ainsley: the girls, exactly. when they come up to the southern border things are happening to the little kids and all the women. a lot of them. steve: mark morgan was border patrol chief for president obama. when he looks at opposition in congress he sees it simply as the democrats trying to deny donald trump a win. watch. he was with us earlier. how did the secretary start off her testimony? there is a national emergency or crisis. then she backed it up with facts. the commissioner did the same thing. current chief did the same thing. the facts are overwhelming. how many more do you need? congress could fix majority of the issue in 15 minutes. they refuse to. it is identity politics. president trump is right. it is that simple. we have a crisis. brian: they have got to do something, 63% of illegal crossings can be stopped according to border patrol chief by changing laws. without a fence, without high-tech equipment, just by changing the laws. reversing mag knit. seven minutes at top of the hour. do you see what is happening among the democrats. it is chaos. it is bedlam. they can t agree on the simplest thing. for example, anti-semitism is wrong. it all stemmed from a minneapolis congresswoman named ilhan omar, her continuing tweets and comments anti-israeli and anti-semitic. steve: she apologized twice. it was her comments last week where she was talking about holt to israel to the everybody inflamed. it was congress, bipartisan thing. they were outraged. the democratic leaders said, you know what? we ll come up with a anti-semitic resolution, non-binding. there was pushback from omar s allies in congress saying you cannot single her out. well, there are a lot of questions about her feels. why does she keep saying things like this. peter doocy, a young correspondent who used to live upstairs at our house was up on capitol hill today. he followed congresswoman omar for about five minutes, trying to get her to comment on all of the things in the news. how did he do? watch. congresswoman omar, seems like there is some confusion among your colleagues. are you anti-semitic? cog woman, can i quickly ask, would you support this resolution condemning anti-semitism? my only question, just would you support the resolution supporting condemning anti-semitism and other forms of bigotry? congresswoman, would you support the resolution condemning anti-semitism? yeah [inaudible]. congresswoman would you support the resolution condemning all forms of bigotry? ainsley: she keeps walking, down even talk to him. many are wondering what is going on in the democratic party, nancy pelosi is she losing control. steve: lost. ainsley: democrats yesterday, people said there was growing dissent. there was anger. she held up the microphone, if you were not going to listen to me, i m done talking. she put down the microphone and walked out. we asked michelle malkin about it. she said that nancy pelosi is losing some of her power within the democratic party. listen. nancy pelosi fears the radical left. the fringe has become the center of the democrat party. this is proof of it. if nancy pelosi continues down this path, karma is going to come back at her this ilhan omar is obviously beyond control. if you think that she is going to be reined in after this, you re kidding yourself. brian: no, she s not and she won t be. nancy pelosi wanted the house. she is showing she can t handle the house. ainsley: correct. brian: they have resolutions pass akim jeffries amongst leadership talked about, every question was about this. how come you can t get on the same page with your anti-semitic non-binding resolution? they wanted to expand it, be against anything bad. i thought, jonah goldberg had a great point. when black lives matter came out, surround me, support black lives matter, one candidate came out, o malley, all lives matter. wait a second, that is not what the issue is. the issue here is not is anti-semitism. not islamophobia or race related, this in particular. expanding it is not on the table. steve: we ll see if they come up with a resolution right now. doesn t look like it. side note. i looked it up on techket master, hamilton tickets $224. ainsley: gone down. brian: i would still see it again. steve: good enough. ainsley: it is sad. it s a touching, the second half of it is so good too. steve: i would fall asleep. brian: i give it away, he loses the dual. steve: i ll be darn. in hoboken. ainsley: never seen it. thanks, brian. jillian: let s talk about this. embattled r&b singer r. kelly facing new allegations he assaulted a 13-year-old girl. the claims coming on the same day of his explosive interview denying similar accusations from other women. they re lying on you, that is your explanation. they re lying on you? absolutely. i m fighting for my [bleep] life. y all killing me with this! [bleep]. jillian: r. kelly pleaded not guilty to sex assault charges. he is in custody in chicago for failing to pay $160,000 in child support. strict anti-abortion bill is closer to pass in georgia. to ban abortions once the fetal heartbeat is detected. georgia allows women to get an abortion up to 20th week of pregnancy. statehouse will vote on the measure. this is the bizarre category, a philadelphia restaurant is sparking uproar on social media by selling this, a pound cake cheesesteak. joe s steaks is using two slices of stocked bakery pound cake to mix two of the city s favorite foods. reactions are hilarious. not all heroes wear capes. one tweeted, no, no. just because you can doesn t mean you should. cheese and meat on pound cake. totally separate. ainsley: do you know that restaurant? steve: not one of the big ones. jillian: philly is not known for pound cake, if i can throw that out there. steve: so true. thank you very much. straight ahead, senator marco rubio of florida has been putting the spotlight on venezuela as the crisis there gets worse by the day. the senator says it is time for dictator maduro to make a choice. what is it? you will hear from him, the senator, next. oh. well, we just spend all day telling everyone how we customize car insurance, because no two people are alike, so. limu gets a little confused when he sees another bird that looks exactly like him. [ loud crash ] yeah. he ll figure it out. only pay for what you need. liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty [georgia] three years ago, my hubut then, i saw him. 19. i m out here looking for someone. he s in kisima. what are you thinking about? my daughter. she died. i need answers. you can t go into the rainforest by yourself. where is he? the widow. included with your amazon prime membership. to take care of yourself. but nature s bounty has innovative ways to help you maintain balance and help keep you active and well-rested. because hey, tomorrow s coming up fast. nature s bounty. because you re better off healthy. steve: all right, last month out at uc berkeley there was an assault on a young man who was working for, with that is to say turning point usa, trying to recruit people. then out of nowhere that guy, zachary greenberg, came up. they didn t know his identity for the long time. he cursed at hayden williams, called him a racist, struck him while students stood by and watched. that is zachary greenberg who has been charged with all sorts of things. brian: amazing. took them two weeks to find out who he was even though we had a full shot of face, had been seen on campus before. we find out about his expanded criminal record. ainsley: we want to know why would he walk up to him? why does that make someone angry? we can have political views but do you have to take it this far? you can have a debate but not violence. she was telling us more about this guy, zach greenberg. listen mr. greenberg has incidents where he filed restraining orders against his roommates in multiple group houses. his roommates have put in evidence that has been more believable and believed by the court that none of those incidents happened. he also had a restraining order filed against him by a former roommate. he filed several lawsuits against landlords for charges later dismissed by the court, not to be filed. almost a dozen lawsuits i uncovered this man is involved in. steve: michael knowles, a commentator on this program occasionally, he has a radio show, he tours capuses all over the country. this is a problem where conservatives are being targeted coast to coast. watch. the trouble for the democrats and for the left is that he is emblematic of a larger problem. this isn t the first time this has happened at berkeley. this is a problem all over the country. the issue as the left redefining speech as violence. what do you do to this form of violence. steve: turn it off. turn it off. it justifies violence against conservatives. president trump made a key aspect of his campaign, stopping political correctness. stopping censorship. stopping violence for speech. if we don t get that fixed we ll not fix any of our other political problems. brian: president will not fund you, not get a check unless you let all people speak. ainsley: replaces speech with violence. brian: hayden was great at cpac. president said say a few words. he was great. i think he is a political star. senator marco rubio putting a spotlight on venezuela as the crisis gets worse by the day. the senator says it is time for dictator nicolas maduro to make a choice. he joins us live next. ainsley: one city sold the parking lot for one dollar. why on earth would they buy it back for 27 million types that price? this is not a bed, it s a revolution in sleep. the sleep number 360 smart bed, from $999, intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts. so you wake up rested and ready for anything. save $500 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. only for a limited time.

brian: thanks, steve. moments ago, national security advisor john bolton putting venezuelan president maduro on notice accusing him from stealing from his own people as the country faces the worst economic crisis in history. well, look, the maduro regime has been ripping off the venezuelan people since had has been in power. we want a peaceful transfer of power from maduro to juan guaido. we think increased pressure against maduro and his clique to help the venezuelaian opposition to get the peaceful transition of power. brian: our next guest has been spotlighting the crisis since it began, gop senator, marco rubio. the president is letting you take the lead on this in many respects. what is the next step putting pressure on maduro? he seems like he has still got the military? let me tell you about the first thing you said, i m honored that you say it actuality the president is aggressive from day one. maduro thinks he will wait out on donald trump, i ve been on president s good side, bad side, a little bitbit of both. when the president is on something, like a dog on a bone. he will not let go and give up on this until maduro is out of there. maduro has taken on a terrible enemy, in president trump and he deserves credit. maduro is mafia and everybody around him is organized crime ring. they traffic cocaine into the united states. stealing gold out of the ground and from the nation s reserves, making money off of that. every crime you can imagine they re engaged in. so you break them the way you break an organized crime ring. you put pressure on all of them until these thieves and these criminals that have no honor they start turning on each other. let me tell you this, every single prominent official in venezuela with absence of maduro has reached out to somebody looking for a deal. that is a fact. that they haven t taken one yet doesn t mean they won t at some point. these are not good people. they re thieves, they re liars, they re crooks. ultimately they will turn on each other and we got to keep the pressure and the president and his administration is doing tremendous job bringing together international coalition. 54 countries are involved, not just the u.s. 54 countries, including all of late minute america. brian: you say they have only days left of food and energy? so venezuela because they keep stealing all this money, they are about to hit an epic humanitarian crisis we haven t seen in this hemisphere and they haven t faced. there they probably have less than a week of gasoline left. indian company out there that is he helping them and of course the russians. that is very unfortunate they keep giving these guys a lifeline. they have a few days of gasoline left. they have only a few days of food left. the humanitarian crisis is real. when people ask me why should we care, 10% of venezuela population abandoned country in the last five years. another 2 million people will leave this year. it threatens to collapse colombia and potentially peru and ecuador as well. nobody can handle faking in million 1/2 people way colombia already has done. this is regional crisis ultimately that will impact us. brian: senator, real quick what is going on the border, you were in the gang to try to solve this in bipartisan way. we re in situation almost everybody agrees there is humanitarian disaster, drugs are flowing there. are you going to back the president s initiative to use emergency action at the border? yeah. so the president has three ways he wants to pay for it. first two are not problematic at all. wants to use anti-drug money, wants to use the forfeiture fund. if he takes those two funds an money we appropriated in the budget even democrats agree to he gets 5.7. he can do it that way. that is what i think he should do. the third one is problematic goes after military construction. at this time we can t afford to cut back funding, for example in florida, we have bunch of military facilities. some of them are crumbling. we cannot let them crumble. i hope to avoid using third pot of money. that is complicated and problematic. the president can get all the money he needs, 5.7 billion from the first two pots. they are not controversial. democrats don t like it because they don t believe there is border crisis. you saw numbers yesterday. even the new york times yesterday reported numbers are out of control. you have children and families. from humanitarian standpoint we should care. brian: new york times wrote it as humanitarian. anyone on the other side reached out to even below the radar try to work on something together, or no? no. now they are just trapped. a lot of them are trapped. if they step out of line. look what is happening in the house with the whole anti-semitism thing. all of sudden everybody is running for the hills on it. they don t want to take a vote on it because there is this new element, radical element bonn into the democratic party that moved them away from supporting israel. makes it impossible to admit there is a crisis on the border. brian: senator marco rubio, very busy guy these days. thanks so much for joining us, senator. thank you very much. brian: straight ahead, democratic chairman jerry nadler defending all the investigations into president trump. we have to make sure that this is not a dictatorship and rule of law is respected. brian: president s son, eric trump here to react. after all he is on nadler s list. naysayer said no one would subscribe to a car the way they subscribe to movies. we don t follow the naysayers. different generations get the same quality of customer service that we have been getting. being a usaa member, because of my service in the military, you pass that on to my kids. something that makes me happy. being able to pass down usaa to my girls means a lot to both of us. he s passing part of his heritage of being in the military. we re the edsons. my name is roger zapata. we re the tinch family, and we are usaa members for life. to begin your legacy, get an insurance quote today. cancer, epilepsy, mental health, hiv. patients with serious diseases are being targeted for cuts to their medicare drug coverage. new government restrictions would allow insurance companies to come between doctor and patient. and deny access to individualized therapies millions depend on. call the white house today. help stop cuts to part d drug coverage that put medicare patients at risk. help stop cuts to part d drug coverage conventional wisdom says you can t make a 400 horsepower sedan, that s also environmentally conscious. we don t follow conventional wisdom. whoooo. did you know the exact same hotel room. .can have many different prices? that s why tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites to find the lowest price on the hotel you want. your perfect hotel room for the perfect price! steve: live from new york city and washington is fox & friends for this thursday. the guy who lives in that house along with melania trump, is donald trump, president of the united states, and his son, eric trump, executive vice president of the trump organization joins us live. eric, good morning to you. good to be with you guys as always. steve: have your ears been burning? because your name has been in the news. jerry nadler and company want as whole bunch of papers. we ll find out in a minute. here he is couple days ago talking about dictators. we re cemetary exercising our oversight jurisdiction and he is not, he doesn t understand or not willing to concede to congress we have an oversight jurisdiction. we have to you have had two years of sustained attacks by an administration of nature we haven t seen probably in a century or more against the free press, against the courts, against the law enforcement administrations, against freedom of speech, but we have to make sure this is not a dictatorship. and that the rule of law is respected. ainsley: all right. they will talk to a lot of you. we got the list of all the people. guys, guys, these people are so desperate. look at him, they are so desperate. the country has never done better. the economy is the best it has ever been, all right? the democrats don t have a platform. their russia hoax has fallen on its face. they investigated, spent how much taxpayer money on russia, they got what? absolutely nowhere. senate judiciary committee came out the other day, senate intelligence committee, came out, there is nothing there. i think mueller report will say exact same thing. silently trying to sidestep that. making up other things. subpoenaing everybody unthe sun. steve: including you. what did they ask for? it s a joke. please give me all the transcripts you had with vladmir putin. me and my buddy steve: have you ever talked to vladmir putin? of course not. it is ridiculous. they don t have a party. their superstars, aoc literally fallen flat on themselves. they cost new york right here 25,000 high-paying jobs. the green new deal brian: amazon. amazon. the green new deal, would have cost $93 trillion. right. that is not exactly going to work. means there are no cars, no planes, no boats. there is no cows. steve: rebuild every trump tower. this is the leadership of the democratic party. what do they do? they harass. my father says every single day it is presidential harrassment. just imagine how productive our government could be if people tried to work together. they don t want to do that. they know they re losing just about every front. brian: used to work with the organization, the election committee, been around you guys said, yeah i got the request. i m not giving documents. i don t think i m going to show up. are are you showing up, eric? i don t blame the guy. tell you the truth. they re trying to harass, trying to waste time. they take these young kids, right. they send so many documents to them. they have to hire lawyers, practically bankrupts these kids. there is a real, there is a real physical toll that it takes on people. listen, we re, we re big boys and girls. we can handle it. we can lawyer up. we can fight. we have the platform in order to fight. take some of the young kids. they get the things. they don t have the resources. they don t have the lawyers. they don t have hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollarsspend in legal defense. they did nothing wrong. i don t blame caputos going out, i m not doing it the he specially when so many people know they re trying to get people to perjure themselves. all these people are trying to do and it s a witch-hunt and it is sad because it actually hurt this is country. ainsley: what do you think about joe biden? he might be announcing next month that he is running for president. listen run on policies of the obama administration where you had the weakest economic growth in history since the great depression? you were giving $150 billion to iran, a country that hates our guts. where do you want me to stop in you had no border security. brian: thousands die in syria. points unthe obama administration, 10 plus percent unemployment. we have what, 4% unemployment. if you want to run biden against my father, i think it will be an easy victory. all you need to do is line up stats, not sound bites, but quantifiable stats. he beats him all day long. brian: president obama said in canada yesterday my team never experienced the scandal of the trump administration. we never had mistakes of entic get. never had mistakes of inintegrity. never had irs spying on conservatives? give me a break. they had more integrity problems than any other administration. what they did to the conservatives. in. s a looking at civilians. talk about integrity problems they had a lot of integrity problems. steve: talk about what is going on capitol hill. new congresswoman omar has been in a lot of trouble for anti-semitic comments. talking about loyalty to israel. looked like the democrats were on verge passing, at least voting on a non-binding resolution condemning anti-semitism. there is so much pressure, party is fractured they are not going to do that. nancy pelosi has been ask to kick her off the committees she is on but staying on the committees. what does it say about nancy pelosi s judgment? quite frankly says a lot. democrats always said we re the party of the jewish people. yet my father was the one who moved embassy to jerusalem. quite frankly we had better relationship with israel than we ever had before. israelis love my father. i talk to people all the time who go to israel, the love of my father is unbelievable. he finally backed israel. within the democratic party they don t know whether to condemn these comments. it is really, really shocking. what does it say about the democratic party when you look at nancy pelosi losing control yesterday in that meeting, putting microphone down and stepping out? is the democratic party everyone wanted joe biden in the race. if you look at polls he was one that could beat your dad what it says, they re radical. democratic party is none longer the party of jfk. this is radical party. look at aoc costing this city 25,000 jobs. look at green new deal. look israel stance. ainsley: celebrating third-term abortions. the abortion. look at hate out there where you know, a kid from berkeley gets punched in the face and no one wants to do anything about it. if it wasn t for fox news, if it wasn t for tucker, beating this every single night, honestly no one would have paid attention to it. they wanted to ignore it. had the rolls been reversed, had it been republican, it would have been on every single station. it would be on cbs, nbc, abc all day long. they don t even mention it. it s a disgrace. steve: we ran a video yesterday of your father, i believe on monday night, he had gotten word there was a guy in his 40s in connecticut, that man right there, jay barrett, who has been given six months to live. that he wanted to talk to your father. and suddenly out of the blue, phone rings and it s your dad. one few times the social media actually does goo today. i really feel that way. i saw the story. i called jay on monday night. his dying wish, he has cystic fibrosis. his wish was to have a signed item from my father. i told him i would get him that my father called him following note. spoke to him. we collectively promised, jay you fight. he promised me the night i spoke to him, i will be here to vote for your father in 2020. i will be here to vote for him in 2020. my promise to you we ll win this thing. we ll win this thing again. because he is biggest maga supporter. he loves my father, loves trump. what is happening to this country. we ll win for each other. a promise i made to him and promise he made to us. he is an incredible man. he is is an an incredible man. steve: very nice thing to do. brian: go back to the your company, the easy part. steve: find those transcripts with putin. meanwhile straight ahead, 18 minutes before the top of the hour, twitter ceo made a stunning administration about banning some conservatives on their platform. we fully admit we were way too aggressive when we first saw this and made mistakes. steve: why would that be? dana loesch will weigh in on that. she has some issues with twitter. she is live next. ainsley: plus has your child seen the movie patrols. there is a new experience to make them feel like they re part of movie, part of the party. i will take you on a special girl with my little girl hayden. or.. badda book. badda boom. book now at choicehotels.com. of every great meal is always the potato?t bite that s why it should always be an idaho potato. only genuine idaho potatoes have the perfect taste and texture to get your meal started right. note twitter ceo @jack dorsey made a stunning administration about its alleged practice of banning conservatives on twitter. listen. we would fully admit we probably were way too aggressive when weigh first saw this as well and made mistakes. ainsley: that was mark zuckerberg, and jack dorsey of twitter. our next guest has first-hand experience with twitter and its controversial policies. here to weigh in nationally syndicated radio show host dana loesch. dana, tell us about your experiences, and we ll get into what jack dorsey said. good morning ainsley and gentlemen. i have had some weird experiences as have had many other people in terms of culture that drives twitter. i give jack credit going on joe rogan s podcast, doing all these interviews, but at some point it is great to give people credit to talk about it but when does the culture at the company changes? whatever the culture is what drives the company. in my particular experience saying you re going to kill my kids doesn t violate terms of service. we have people incredibly sensitive learn to code talking about journalists. doing what i do, some of the things i am told regularly by people with verified marks. blue verified marks, verified bullies i can t even say on your airwaves you could get fined. so that is apparently acceptable. some of the other treatment of other individuals i see is acceptable but they treat people in different, they class people. put them in different classes. sojournnalists, heaven forbid you offend a journalist or oaf spend a progressive but you have privilege, but you have progressive privilege and you can say whatever you want to a republican or conservative and i see that far left violates their terms of service. at the end of the day this comes back to whatever their algorithm is, whatever their process is, it comes back to a human being in twitter s company making the decision according to their bias. steve: being, of course dana, every time they re called on carpet and to to capitol hill, they re queried what appears to be bias against conservatives, you know, for instance, jack dorsey said, we re based in southern california. everybody is a progressive so it is hard to work with people who have that political agenda looking at these other stories. that sounds like an executive failure to me. if you can t hire better people that is on you. not on the people you hire. run your company better. demand better from your employees. the culture comes back, this comes from the top. either jack can control his company or drive culture of his company or he can t. bottom line, one of the things discussed on the pod was, tim pool did a great job driving this, joe rogan did a great podcast, discussing canadian feminist banned forever permanently from twitter because she was discussing science. asking questions about biology. it was genuine intellectual curiosity she was banned for life. other woman talking there to tim and joe with jack, she was saying well, it was controversial. it is not controversial. here is the bottom line. i know that in a public for are up, that is exactly what jack wants twitter to be, you can, you re going to come across things offensive all day long. you can block or mute that person f you re so offended things like learn to code, so offended at other things you re too sensitive to be on twitter, do everyone a favor get off. find something that appeals to your sensitive nature. twitter is not it. ainsley: thanks, dana. thank you. steve: at least they admitted they made some mistakes. all right. ainsley: coming up next we re taking you on a special trolls tour with my little girl. there is hayden. you will see the story coming up next. now. grandpa, what about your dream car? this is my dream now. principal we can help you plan for that . steve: if you have small kids they probably loved movie trolls. in new york city, there is a limited engagement, trolls the experience. makes visitors feel like they re in the movie. brian: thought it would be great for ainsley and her daughter hayden to visit. we set up a special tour. ainsley: take a look. steve: all right. let s. ainsley: look, hayden. the trolls experience. who is that? poppy. ainsley: poppy. are you excited? welcome to the world of trolls. are you ready for fun and adventure today? we re celebrating with the biggest party ever. ainsley: we re ready. welcome. so as you know trolls love their hair. we re going to pick out what hair you want. ainsley: do you want to be poppy?

in the oval office just moments ago, he was asked if the entire mueller report should be made public and here s what he said about that and more. up to the attorney general. wouldn t bother me at all. there are a lot of people out there who have done some very, very evil things, very bad things, i would say treasonous things against our country. those people will certainly be looked at. i have been looking at them for a long time, and i m saying, why haven t they been looked at? they lied to congress, many of them. you know who they are. they ve done so many evil things. i will tell you, i love this country. i love this country as much as i can love anything. my family, my country, my god. but what they did was a false narrative and it was a terrible thing. robert mueller found no collusion between the trump campaign and russia, but he did not reach a conclusion on the issue of obstruction of justice. that is according to a summary by attorney general bob barr. the president is claiming total exoneration. the democrats are demanding access to the whole report which remains secret. laura jarrett joins us. laura, you have learned about the procedures of the special counsel s conclusion on obstruction of justice. tell us what you learned. three weeks ago the special counsel met with other officials, and at that meeting with bill barr and rod rosenstein, who has been overseeing the special counsel since its inception, they said they would not be reaching a conclusion on whether or not the president obstructed justice. that was one of the key parts of this investigation along with the collusion question, and yesterday, when we learned from attorney general bill barr s four-page memo that essentially mueller had punted on that question, many of us raised the question of whether the justice officials had felt blindsided, even though, obviously, they had been kept in the loop on the status of the investigation all along, the question was whether that was a surprise. i was told by a source familiar with this meeting that actually it was unexpected when the special counsel s team delivered that news just three weeks ago. but what it also means is that the justice department has known for at least three weeks that this is where we were headed. so when bill barr put together his memo over the weekend, i think some had wondered whether 48 hours was enough time to put all that together and all that analysis on obstruction. we now learned he s known about it for quite a while, brianna. lauren jarrett at the justice department, thank you. republicans are claiming this is a victory for the president. democrats are doubling down on calls for the attorney general to release the mueller report. let s go to capitol hill. tell us about the reaction you re hearing today now that congress is back. reporter: so much of the reaction centers on the battle for information and what will potentially be released to congress. of course, many democrats calling for the full mueller report to be released. but we did just hear from senator lindsey graham, a republican from south carolina, who was one of president trump s closest confidants here on capitol hill, and in fact, golfed with him over the weekend. lindsey graham this morning saying he was going to hop on a call with the attorney general, stating that call was to happen in the last hour, and he is going to call on him to come up here to capitol hill and testify before the senate judiciary committee. interestingly, graham, too, said he believes as much of the report should be released as possible. he also wants a new special counsel to look into the 2016 campaign, including looking into hillary clinton s campaign. what s next, i hope, will be that he will come to the committee, release as much as possible of the mueller report. when it comes to the fiso warrant, the political campaign has been swept under the rug except by a few republicans in the house. those days are over. going forward, hopefully in a bipartisan fashion, we will begin to unpack the other side of the story. reporter: and certainly we have seen many republicans up here on capitol hill echo a lot of what s come out of the white house. they feel that this is vindication and essentially it s time to move on from all of this. here s what a few republicans had to say about this, kevin mccarthy saying there was no collusion, lindsey graham calling this a good day for the rule of law, and it concludes the president s accounts. you have democrats wanting the full mueller report to be released as well as the underlying evidence. schumer, pelosi saying it brings up more questions without answers. they want robert mueller on the hill to testify. that is becoming very clear. sunlen, thank you. we have more breaking news. this is involving lawyer michael avenatti who represented stormy daniels against the president. carol, what do we know? reporter: we just learned that the u.s. attorney s office in manhattan has charged lawyer michael avenatti with multiple counts including extortion for allegedly trying to extort nike, the athletic apparel maker, of multi-million dollars, as much as 22$22.5 million. they are holding a press conference on the eve of nike s quarterly earnings and the eve of the ncaa basketball tournament. this happened last week according to these charges. they said avenatti was trying to extort nike. there was a meeting last week, multi-million-dollars. we haven t heard from avenatti about these charges. avenatti was a key player in the investigation surrounding the payment to stormy daniels. they have investigated michael cohen s payments, and it appears avenatti is wrapped up in several allegations of extortion with nike, threatening them that he would go public with damaging information just before the earnings call and the start of the tournament if he was not paid multi-millions of dollars, as much as $25 million, brianna. and we don t know what information he was going to put out there? we re still reading through the complaint that was filed, and so we re gleaning more information from that, but he apparently was in talks with someone who had had a relationship with nike, who wanted to put forth some negative information about the sneaker company. dig into that. we ll get back to you as you do, kara scannell, in the newsroom. now we have eric columbus, a justice department official under obama. he s here with our senior legal analyst ross garber and carrie cordero. let s talk about this michael avenatti development. what do you make do you make anything of this as we are still learning what exactly information he was putting out there, anyone? ross looks scared. we re still learning a lot, but obviously it is a big problem for michael avenatti. i m sure the u.s. attorney s office was looking at this for a long time. he was very good on tv. it s one thing to be good on tv, it s another thing to be a good lawyer. you know, he s entitled to a presumption of innocence, but this is a troubling development. that they would charge him tells you something. sure. let s talk about our new reporting on the mueller report, which has been sent to the attorney general. the attorney general summarized it in four pages. to be clear, we have not seen the report but there are some key parts in there, including that robert mueller did not reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice, whether the president committed obstruction of justice, and he left that to the attorney general. he actually informed barr and the deputy ag rod rosenstein three weeks ago he wouldn t reach a conclusion on this. does that surprise you, carrie? actually, i said on our air last night that i wasn t buying into the idea that attorney general barr made the decision that obstruction charges were not warranted or supported by the evidence in 48 hours. that just didn t ring true to me. so i m glad that our reporting has been able to confirm that, in fact, this was something that he had substantial lead time on and probably was developing what his determinations were going to be and his final recommendations and his final decisions well before the actual formal delivery of the final report on friday evening. this is not traditional to go ahead and not say. he puts the facts out there and allows barr to decide. there is not a lot about this whole process that s traditional. there hasn t been a lot of use for these sort of special counsel regulations in the past. this is sort of a run-through to see kind of how they work. i ll admit, i was actually surprised that special counsel mueller didn t make the call himself. that s generally why you have a special counsel, to take it out of kind of direct doj decision making. on the other hand, i guess in this case i could see it. these are complicated legal issues, and these are issues that the attorney general himself, bill barr, before he was attorney general, did a lot of thinking about and actually wrote a memo to the deputy attorney general before the attorney general was the attorney general, he wrote a memo, about 19 single-spaced pages, giving his ideas about the issues. were you, eric, surprised that robert mueller punted on this, that he did not take that traditional step of determining himself whether obstruction of justice had been committed? i think there s a logic to what bob mueller did in that situation. because the president sitting president cannot be indicted under doj, policy and interpretation of the constitution and was subject to that. i believe he wanted to focus on the facts. he laid out the facts, pro and con, and he realized that the president any president is subject to the voters and possibly to removal by the impeachment process. by putting the facts out, he s focused on the matters rather than the legal determination of whether the law was violated. do you agree with that? here s the issue with that. i m not sure special counsel mueller expects his analysis to actually come out. it s not typical for prosecutorial decisions to come out, and there is no guarantee. in fact, i think that much of mueller s work won t come out here. i think eric is right, that on some level it probably made sense for him to lay out all the facts, let the ag make the call because it was such an important decision. do you think we re going to see the full report? do you think congress will see the full mueller report? i think eventually we ll see a substantial part of it. i think there will be portions of it that the attorney general will adhere to the grand jury secrecy requirements that certain parts of it won t be public, but i think it s as a result of a process. i think the first part would even be counsel of mueller will be called to testify before congress, and i think there will be parts that relate to declarations, the things the special counsel recommended not to prosecute might be redacted, but i think it will be hard for most of the report. there are also things that never made it into the report. that may be true. i think what congress and the public will look for, is there any information in the report. i think what s going to happen, they re going to talk about charging people, a class action, and i think there is a big issue with executive privilege. where does that leave us, eric, in terms of transparency and people who have been watching this unfold for the better part of two years wanting answers to their questions? i think that there is i think that bill barr will lean in favor of transparency to the extent he feels he can consistent with the law. and i think we saw that i m speculating, but i don t think he would have written that memo yesterday if it he intended to say jurks take my word for it, the president did not violate the law. the fact he came to that dngs and slide even if a substantial part or some part of the special counsel s report is provided to congress and is publicly released in some part, i actually don t think that whatever the special counsel wrote will answer all of the questions, won t answer all of the questions about why members of the trump campaign and administration lied about various meetings with russian government surrogates. it won t answer the bigger narrative, and i wrote a piece back in 2017 arguing this. it won t answer the big narrative. it s not a ken starlike. the report that the special prosecution wrote is going to be about power. thank you, guys, for your expertise. next we ll speak live with the white house about whether the president still. more on our breaking news. lawyer michael avenatti charged with extortion. we re learning some new charges in a separate case. and as parkland mourns the loss of two students who killed themselves within a week, there is more tragic news. the father of a child killed at sandy hook also dies of an apparent suicide.

is there a concern that if this does not become public, the president has said he doesn t have a problem with that is there a concern that americans won t be able to put stock in the mueller report if they don t see it? well, as the attorney general made clear, he s going to make as much of this report available as possible as can be done under law. we know there has to be classified information there as well. as i understand it, they re working on that right now. what about executive privilege stuff? is the white house going to make a case for what should not be made available to congress or to the public? we would cross that bridge when we came to it. that would only be necessary if attorney general barr s summary had to include information that could possibly deal with executive privilege. if that were to happen, then we expect the attorney general would reach out to the white house and say, hey, in my summary, i want to include executive privilege information. can we have that type of discussion? so, then, you would expect that seems very likely. you would expect the attorney general to reach out to the white house before this at least what he can conclude of the mueller report going to congress? i think he can write out his summary by classified sensitive material without any input from the white house at all. he s an expert in what those things are. if he has to, and i m not convinced that he has to, write a summary that would include presidential conversations, presidential deliberations, but if he is wanting to write his report and his summary with that information, he would probably come and check with us first to make sure the president didn t want to assert executive privilege. the president s written answers to the special counsel s questions? those may or may not be included in the report. understand those were directed toward the collusion side of the investigation where even special counsel mueller said that there was zero evidence of any type of conspiracy on behalf of the president or any of his campaign. so that will zero evidence isn t a quote, right, just to be clear? that s not a quote. i just want to be clear, because it talks about not that s not a quote that s not a quote from robert mueller. if we re going to say what robert mueller is saying, then we cannot say that, zero evidence. i had the letter before, i can quote from it. but he made it clear that they did not find evidence of any type of conspiracy between the trump campaign and the russian government. all right, i just want to be clear on sort of what s in here. it doesn t say zero evidence. no. it s a definitive statement about a lack of evidence about conspiracy. legal findings and what raises to the level of a charge, right? just to be clear. right. so why not include that for the sake of transparency, the president s written answers? i don t know. that really is a question for attorney general barr. i don t know if his summary requires he doesn t want it, right? he wants that to remain private. why? you would have to ask jay sekulow that. i m more concerned about what the attorney general needs to do to make his summary available, publicly available. he ll make that decision over at the department of justice. so before congress gets what would the process be, then so you believe the process to be that the attorney general would flag potential executive privilege information and then the white house would be able to see the summary report before it would go to congress? is that what you would expect? it s possible that if there were executive privilege issues that attorney general barr would only raise those issues and those issues alone with the white house. he doesn t necessarily need to provide his full summary to the white house in order parts of the summary, though? i guess what i m asking is, would you see parts of the report before it would go to congress in order to deal with the executive privilege? only if general barr wanted to have executive privilege material in his summary, would he come to the white house, and if he needed a determination on those and if the president needed to assert, then those would be the only portions that the white house might see. but i m really speculating. this is a process that s going to be driven by attorney general barr over at the department of justice. just to go back to what you re saying, the evidence does not establish that the president was involved in an underlying crime related to russian election interference. just so we re clear about what we re talking about. sure. just last week the president said robert mueller should not have been able to write a report. he s called the investigation a witch hunt on twitter more than 170 times. he s welcoming the result of what came from the barr letter, of course. he said that it s a sham. now it s a total exoneration, as he says. which is it? is it a sham or is it a report that should be taken seriously? well, i don t think there is any inconsistency about being critical of an investigation that you didn t think ever should be launched, and then when that investigation is completed to look at the results and say, of course, i m exonerated. i ve been saying that i haven t done anything wrong for two years. so i don t see any inconsistency with him being critical of the fact that the investigation was opened into him and his campaign, and then when the investigation is over, we know the attorneys that ran the investigation saying, look, they found what i ve been telling you all along. how do you hang your hat on something that you alleged 170 times was completely illegitimate? this isn t just criticism. this is questioning the entire legitimacy of this investigation. i don t know that the president can be said to be hanging his hat on anything. he s been delivered results of a report of a two-year vefr investigation into his campaign and into his administration and saying, god, can you believe it? after all this time and money and the democrats who ran this investigation against me, they still couldn t find anything. that s not inconsistent with being critical of the fact that it was it wasn t anything about him, to be clear. because this actual investigation was about russian meddling in the election. so now having dispensed with those concerns, is he now concerned about russian meddling in the election process which continues, as we know, from his intel chiefs to such a degree that he is now going to resource pushing back against russia doing that? i think since he s taken office, election interference and election security has been one of his priorities. he s issued an executive order, they re working with the department of homeland security on elections. the midterm elections came and went without, i believe, significant interference and the interference that we believe did happen was reported and made public. so i think all of the eyes of the administration and the white house are on election security. why have his intel chiefs testified before congress something different? what did the intel chiefs testify to? that this really hasn t essentially what they said was that this is something that continues to go on and doesn t have the focus that it needs. they seem clearly more concerned about it than the president. sdp that s your characterization. i think the president is concerned with it. it s your characterization, let s be fair about this. then let s just talk about what the president thinks. sure. is the president upset with the russians over the findings? because while he may be tweeting about how he s exonerated, in his words, by this report, the russians clearly are not. when you look at the charges, 34 people, three companies, a lot of russians. a lot of russians, by the way. that s right by what the russians did here? sure, why wouldn t he be, but the important thing is he was angry about the fact that there were ties and allegations that had been going on in very irresponsible ways by politicians and members of the media that somehow he or his campaign had something to do with that. he had a right to be upset about that. those were completely spurious allegations, that he have been blown out of the water during this investigation. it s good robert mueller investigated those accusations, but it s clear that he didn t collude with the russians. you re saying that the president has appropriately made this a priority, to combat russian meddling in american elections and that that is what is going to the attention that he s given it so far is the attention he s going to continue to give it? well, it s one of the things that he works on. i mean, he does lots of other things. he s meeting with israeli prime minister today. there are a lot of things on his foreign policy agenda. it s something his people are seized on, especially at the department of homeland security. they are watching these elections. steve groves, thanks so much for coming into the studio. we appreciate you being here with us. thanks for having me. among the unanswered questions, what about the trump tower meeting? what about paul manafort sharing polling data? we re going through those issues and see where they land after this summary. plus more on breaking news. lawyer michael avenatti charged with extortion. we are learning new charges in a separate case now. the best simple salad ever?

my reaction is a couple of things. we ought to recognize something good. number one, special counsel mueller completed his investigation with a team of able investigators and prosecutors, and i m thankful that that investigation has come to a close. number two, we should be glad that the preliminary finding that we know of the mueller report is that there was no coordination, no conspiracy. notice the words that they used. no coordination, no conspiracy of the trump campaign with russia s known interference with the 2016 election. number three, there was known interference by russia in a very serious and great way with the election of 2016. i hope this administration, and i m certain congress will take that very seriously, as we head into the next election. but in terms of barr s letter, what i hope people will recognize is that it s only a very partial summary. it summarizes that first point. the second point that it makes is that mueller was unable to say to exonerate the president from obstruction of justice. that s a very important telling second part. not unable as much as he chose not to, congresswoman. he said he would not, you re right. he laid out the facts and he left it to the attorney general. and what you notice is the attorney general, in the four-page letter, offers only partial quotes, very little evidence of what that evidence was. all of that leads me to say we need to see the report. congress needs to see the report, and the american people need to see the report. even the president has said that. he said he wouldn t be bothered by it coming out. what the attorney general is doing right now, with respect to the law, he s making sure that he can release what he can release. that s what he says in this, respect of the law and some of the facts that were before the grand jury. do you agree that that is important, and how concerned are you, especially we just heard from a deputy white house press secretary that if there is issues when it pertains to executive privilege, the expectation would be that the attorney general would touch base with the white house and then the white house would be able to make its opinion known about information going to congress and what should and should not be going to congress. do you have concerns about that process? i do have concerns about that. certainly grand jury testimony would have to be asked of the judge if that can be released. i understand we have to follow the laws there. in terms of executive privilege, i don t see where executive privilege falls in here. the other thing i think people do not understand or haven t had a chance to read is that attorney general barr does not just summarize these two larger portions of the mueller report. he comes to a legal conclusion. he says, after weeks of talking with special counsel mueller, he and rod rosenstein have decided there was no obstruction of justice. he comes to a legal conclusion in this four-page letter. that s a leap that i think is very puzzling. so you have concerns about that. what do you need to allay those concerns? do you want to hear from bill barr? do you want to hear from robert mueller? and what questions do you need answered? number one, we would like to see the entire report. that s where we would have to start, and the evidence that underlies it. number two, we absolutely should take the chance and the time to talk with attorney general barr. as you know, he wrote about a 19-page memo prior to being considered for attorney general, and you see echoes in this four-page letter. i ve compared the two. we would like to talk to barr. i m hoping our chairman jerry nadler will call him. when you say the entire report, just to be clear, what you hear in this letter, bill barr talking about pulling out of the report any information as it pertains to that which should not be released, maybe negative information about folks who were not charged, some information that may have been before the grand jury but would not go before congress. are you okay with that? do you agree with that? one of the things i think you re thinking about and i m concerned about and i m mindful of, i understand we should not put out information about people who are not going to be charged, that there just wasn t a body of evidence to charge them. there is one problem with that. the department of justice has already put out its policy that the president cannot be charged. so i think he should be the one exception to that warning and that i think exact barrier, appropriate barrier to those who are not going to be charged with any crime. by accepting the president and by saying the president is in a special privilege place, we still need to see all the evidence as to the president. congresswoman, thank you so much. congresswoman madeleine dean joining us. we really appreciate it. still ahead, we have much more on our breaking news. a second state is now charging attorney michael avenatti with some pretty serious crimes. and among the unanswered questions in this mueller report summary, the four-page summary from the attorney general, what about the trump tower meeting? paul manafort sharing polling data. we re going to go through some of these. that s a win. but it s not the only reason i switched. geico s a company i can trust, with over 75 years of great savings and service. now that s a win-win. switch to geico. it s a win-win. switch to geico. t-mobile will do the math for you. right now, when you join t-mobile, you get two lines of unlimited with two of the latest phones included for just one hundred bucks a month. there s brushing.and there s oral-b power brushing. oral-b just cleans better. even my hygienist said going electric could lead to way cleaner teeth. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the first electric toothbrush brand accepted by the ada. oral-b. brush like a pro. the summary of special counsel robert mueller s report concerns a mantra by the president, there was no occlusion. one of the lingering questions is why so many people lied about contacts that they had with the russians. what were they thinking? i think that s going to be an ongoing question certainly for all of us try and get answers for. why did they spend all of this time lying? what were they afraid of? in the end i think what it was about is just really, yes, it was protecting themselves, people like michael flynn, michael like george papadopoulos, but also protecting the campaign, protecting the president. they knew the fbi was in the middle of this investigation, trying to figure out what the russians were doing, and they were trying to hide it from investigators. there are the actual criminal lies that have been charged and things like the misleading statements that were put out, for instance, the trump tower meeting. initially the trump campaign said it was about adoptions or mostly about adoptions, it had nothing to do with dirt on hillary clinton. the stories kept changing on all of these things and sometimes they actually got caught. there seemed to be a fear of being interested in some sort of behavior that could be tied to colluding, right? yeah, there certainly was and that was a lot in part because there was so much attention. everyone was doing stories about it, about possible collusion with the russians. if they started admitting that they were communicating with the russians or there were people that were offering dirt, it would have created problems for the campaign. i think that was one of the central things here, they wanted to hide it so they didn t hurt the campaign. right, and then the individual decisions that were made by people when they were talking to the fbi certainly seemed puzzling in hindsight and maybe they didn t think they would actually get caught, they didn t think they would get charged, some lying to congress. mueller showed that was a road they were going to go down and now these people are having to pay. you guys, stand by. we have a lot more to talk about. i want to ask about the open-ended cases involving rick gates and roger stone. where are those?

president from north korea get trained by your sensei. sean: little rocket man is showing up, no more rockets. laura: great show tonight. laura: i m laura ingraham and this is the ingraham angle from dc tonight. i m gonna start with a few questions. do you know how many legal and illegal immigrants have settled in this country over just the past 30 years? second question, why does the answer to the first question make democrats so giddy? ahead the ingraham angle will take you inside the other battle that donald trump and the gop should be waging on immigration. plus, how much did the smollett investigation cost the city of chicago so far? how many man hours did police dedicate to it? and what might they have been working on instead? an ingraham angle investigation has the answers ahead. and why are the u.s. and the uk even debating the issue of allowing isis brides back into our country? famed brit i can broadcaster piers morgan has thoughts on that debate and is here live later in the hour. you don t want to miss. that but first . laura: well meet the candidates and they re pretty, pretty good. that s the focus of tonight s angle. another day, another whacky liberal steps on to the 2020 field. and it wasn t any real surprise when vermont socialist bernie sanders decided to enter the race. it s always stunning to hear what the muppet like lefty actually believes you may recall in 2016 many of the ideas that i talked about, medicare for all, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, making public colleges and universities tuition free, all of those ideas people said bernie they re so radical. you know what s happened in three years? all of those ideas and many more are now part of the political mainstream. laura: well he s right about that. with hillary out of the way bernie thinks the second time is a charm. after all as he said he was socialist before socialism was cool. the 77 year old trend setter s policies run the gamut from the government run healthcare to free college to doubling the minimum wage from what it is today. all of this would be paid for by massive tax hikes. and he also throws around the r word a lot. revolution . laura: yep. that s the one you know we began the political revolution in the 2016 campaign and now it s time to move that revolution forward and make sure that that vision, those ideas are implemented into policy. laura: i ll translate for you, bernie s coming for your money! and there aren t enough billionaires to pay for the trillions in spending he has in mind. he s not exactly being revolution nature i with this tired trop we have a president who is a pathological lie ar and it gives me no pleasure to say that but it s true. we have a pp who is a racist, sexist, xenophobe who is doing what no president in our lifetime has come close to doing. that is trying to divide us up. laura: divide us up. well xenophobe, racist, did he really cover them all? come on bernie, that s not original. but i m telling you it s a hell of a lot easier than explaining how he would do better trade deals than trump or how he would keep us out of more dumb wars than trump has kept us out of or how he would grow the economy faster than trump. but, bernie will have to fend off challengers who are decades younger and decidedly more diverse, kamala harris, cory booker, well when they re not defending the actor fraud jussie smollett each are committed to the green new deal. and booker s waving off concerns today about the cost. oh it s no problem whatsoever, it s going to pay for itself. he says fighting climate change is kind of like defeating hitler or maybe the moon landing there s a lot of people now blowing back on the green new deal it s impractical, it s too expensive, it s all of this. if we used to govern our dreams that way we would have never gone to the moon. we need to push the bounds of human potential. because that is our history. and when the plan pet has been in peril in the past, who came forward? to save earth? from the scourge of nazis? we came forward. laura: lofty rhetoric. as for senator hairs she wants to do to america what the democrat party is doing today to california. what she lacks in sound physical ideas, i think she makes up for in smiles and laughs. at interesting times i just want to get this out of the way, the elephant in the room no, we re not gonna have any elephants in the room. [ applause ] which tweet? what tweet? about saying that it is a modern dale lynching. sorry. [laughter] [ laughter ] right? [laughter] [laughter] [ laughter ] laura: and let s not forget princess running left, elizabeth warren. well she s obviously going for the freeloader s vote supporting more taxpayer funded freebies than any other candidate out there. and that s saying something. free health care and college, that s so passe, why not free child care? it s gonna be really expensive and the answer is it is, this will be about four times what we have invested in our children. but that s exactly what we need to do. we can pay for universal child care, ands a whole lot more if we just ask the one tenth of one percent to pay a fair share. laura: okay. wait. fair share. okay when you hear that, red flag. that equals basically a tax rate that has to be at least around 75% to come close to covering all her boondoggle. but it s an odd thing with warren. she needs the super rich, but she thinks they should be side lined in american politics billionaires and big corporations decided they wanted more of the pie. and the they enlisted politicians to cut them a fatter slice i m not taking applications from billionaires who want to run a super pack on my behalf. to protect their economic advantages the rich and powerful have rigged our political systems as well. . laura: well, that s a version she shows there to money and politics seems more like a marketing ploy than reality to me. so said another potential 2020 candidate, howard schultz she came to see me a few years ago and asked me for a contribution for her senate race. [ laughter ] laura: well that was yesterday. that was years ago. new york senator customers jill, let s get to her, she s a former moderate turned me too crusader. she finds herself struggling for rel lavan sir and compelling rhetoric. she inadvertently admitted there is indeed a crisis at the u.s. border on immigration i mean there s a crisis going on at the border right now. we need to have [ indiscernible ] [ indiscernible ] i just want to note that the a lot of these people are indigenous to this land and that border is cutting them off. that s why the wall is so [ indiscernible ] . laura: wait. wait a second. first of all, a wall is an in an hadn t object, kirsten. at least she acknowledges the crisis at the border. oops! it s easy to laugh off this parade of liberals. but remember that the democrat party is becoming more not less radical. a recent got up poll showing the majority of democrats identify as liberal for the very first time, jumping from 25% back in 1994 to 51% in 2017. well in a climate like this, what does that mean? how does a candidate like minnesota senator amy klobuchar fit in? no medicare for all? it could be a possibility in the future. i m just looking at something that will help now. i don t think we re going to get rid of entire industries in the midwest. i m not for free four year college for all. if i was a magic genie and could give that to everyone and we could afford it, i would. laura: well, will she fill stadiums? if last night s ratings for her town hollow cnn were any indication it s unlikely. well there just doesn t seem to be a lot of excitement for a midwest democrat who s views are closer to bill clinton than bernie sanders. what about the so-called dream ticket of biden beto? have you heard about that? the old guard plus the new kid with a chance to pick off texas. well if biden runs he s gonna have to make lots of promises to the aoc crowd. meaning in the end the result ends up the same. my friends if democrats win they re coming to take your money. the money you ve made in the strong economy. the money you ve worked really hard for. they want to blow it on pipe dream policies that may sound kind of cool at a rally but in practice they never work. they just really love spending other people s money dogs, doughnuts, and money. only money is better. you know why? because it don t make you fat and it don t poop all over the living room floor! there s only one thing i like better. other people s money! laura: and that s the angle. joining me now with reaction, monica crowley, washington times senior opinion doll lump any of the, dan bongino fox news contributor and brian moore the socialist party s 2008 presidential candidate. he was way ahead of the curve. dan, bernie just announced that he s received 150,000 individual donations sins he announced. so no matter how crazy his ideas are, he seems pretty popular to me yeah i wonder if he s going to redistribute some of the that cash to other candidates. i heard elizabeth warren only did 350,000. your monologue was spot o there are two lanes in the democrat party right now running for the nomination for 2020, the radicals and the extreme radicals. they have tried this before. remember with dukakis and mondale? and then they needed the democrat leadership counsel to get them back to the center? we ve been here. the problem is although this may appeal to a very passionate base of bernie bros and whatever you will never win a general election running on hiking taxes, taking people s healthcare and taking over the education system. throw in open borders, you have absolutely no chance. laura: brian do you feel a little perclumped about this whole socialist thing? you were kind of a man ahead of your time back in 2008. now everyone is trying to ride on your coat tails, including bernie sanders i might add well they re really not socialists they re just reformers of the capitalist system but they re still within the traditional capitalist system. their incremental entitlements from the government may help temporarily, but it s not gonna be the systemic economic system change that we need. laura: wait a minute. so brian if i get this straight, i want to make sure i get it straight, they re not socialist enough for the real socialists? is that where this is headed? that is correct. laura: so you re talking about nationalizing entire industries beyond health care? correct. laura: just nationalizing it and do the thing that marx really wanted, the true anti capitalist stance. monica that s probably the best news they ve heard all day. brian is kind of putting them in the middle. this is why i m glad brian is on to be the. there is a new sense of affection is there not for this ideas like universal healthcare. it sounds so nice, it s universal, who could be against that? but you eventually run out of other people s money yes i ve been warning now for many years about the ascent of socialism on the left and it was met with eye rolling at me for many years laura. now here we are. this is the dee fine ideology of the democratic party. i ve got a column in the washington times coming later this week which talks about what the left does in terms of strategy and methodology. they throw these extremes out like medicare for all or single payer or in the more recent case the green new deal. and they don t expect it to be achieved overnight. in fact they invite the condemnation from people like dan and you and me, because they want the pile ons. so then they can affect it piecemeal and they look reasonable and moderate on the way to affecting their most radical policies. this is while we re in this position now. by the way it wasn t bernie sanders who brought the party to the radical left, it was president obama. and people forget that. they overlook. that barack obama is the one who moved the democrats away from the party of bill clinton, now to a socialist revolutionary party that has made people like alexandria ocasio-cortez possible. laura: that was those were really his roots in college and law school. i mean everyone who has read the books on obama s up bringing that s more who he was dan. i ve got to go back to bernie. he was the man of the most this past weekend. sanders was getting into politics even he knew that medicare for all was literally a bankrupt idea. let s watch one of the points that we understand and i think it was reinforce did when we went to canada we expanded medicaid. gave everybody medicaid. we would be spending an astro nominal sum of money that we would bankrupt the nation. laura: so i don t know. maybe he s changed too? might have gotten medicaid and medicare mixed up. he was pointing to what happened in canada. he s now saying everyone is a poser, i m out there, i m the real deal. all these other kids are trying to ride on my train. he wants to kick them off. he will be 79 he is the real deal alright, laura r the real deal means a socialist, he just bought his third home. bernie is probably worth close it a million dollars himself. he s the prototypical limousine liberal. pj o rourke once said you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it s free. the problem with socialist guests, socialism won t work because it can t work. how can you explain to me that people have been in the airline industry their whole life have a hard time turning a profit? they re experts in the industry. you think a government bureaucrat who spent 15 years filling out a spreadsheet trying to get paid overtime on a friday is going to take over the airline industry and run it? it s so absurd. i can t believe socialists dare to show their faces on t.v. without total embarrassment. not only that, it leads to death go and destruction as well. that s just an extra. laura: brian you got your chance. tell us where socialism is working in the world and where has it produced positive results for a wide range of citizens well first of all, what i m hearing so far is politics of fear, the red menace f. the red fear, they re going it take everything away from us. laura: excuse me while i yawn. i asked you a question. where is socialism working, brian? don t sit back there and use your usual insults, doesn t work. i m asking you a serious question. where has it worked and where has it spread happiness and positivity and a higher standard of living for a broad range ever citizenry, where? nowhere. it is nowhere in this world socialism working. laura: thank you there we go. laura: mike drop the reason it isn t working is because the united states of america and other capitalist countries have undermined a legitimate socialist to the redistribute the wealth. it s radically changed the economic system. laura: what did you do for a sflifg did you ever have a job in the capitalist system? yeah, i worked in the private sector, hmo s. until ronald reagan came along and canceled the hmo act of 1973. and he turned it over to wall street and the private sector. then you ended up with a lot of billionaires and the consumers suffered. laura: stole socialism doesn t work because freedom gets in the way laura. that s his point? socialism doesn t work because things like freedom get in the way socialism promotes freedom and liberty and egalitarianism. capitalism death and destruction and laura: as long as you don t run afoul of the people with the real power, which is the upper echelon of any socialist government. they have all the percent. they have all the benefits and they make the decisions for the little people correct. that s right. laura: they make the decisions. that s not freedom. that s tyranny, my friend that s not socialism either. laura: working in cabbed da? monica, i m glad brian is on, he s apparently mad that the hmo thing didn t work out for him. god bless him. it was a bad deal at the hmo. now all of us should suffer. monica close it out the elite ruling class under communism is what vladimir lenin referred to as the van guard. yes historically that is the conception, marxism. that s number one. number two the kids of today who are seduced by the idea of socialism only are seduced by the idea of quote unquote equality. what they don t understand is because human beings are inherently unequal with different talents and strengths and weaknesses you can only have equality at the barrel of the gun. what they re not being taught is you can only have enforced equality with a police state. what you start telling kids the truth about that, you will see those numbers start to the turn on quote unquote socialism. laura: i am glad brian came on thank you laura. laura: maybe you can convince me that there is a country where it worked well and not blame america. it was a really interesting conversation. this is a big issue thank you. laura: i think a lot of people are now graph at a timing toward that maybe not understanding it completely. thanks so much guys. here is a question. do you know the actual numbers behind the legal and illegal immigration explosion in this country over the past 30, maybe past 50 years? what about the next 30 or 50 years? we re going to bring you the truth next. plus a liberal coalition of 16 states are suing the trump administration to block the president s national border emergency declaration. the constitutional expert will tell us why this should be a legal slam dunk for president trump. legal slam-dunk for one hour pickup order?

here now is john eastman, senior fellow at the chapman university. professor your response to those glib summations felts unconstitutionality of the president s move if there hadn t been a congressional statute that authorized what he s doing, declaring a national emergency on the border that obama s own secretary of homeland security declared what she was governor of arizona i would give those arguments more credibility. laura: the specific act, put it up on the screen: . laura: pretty clear-cut pretty straightforward. president obama declared a national emergency over the swine flu. laura: very serious yeah, president clinton declared it to stop people from sending ships down to cuba or having financial transactions with the sudan, i think this rises for at least that level. laura: bill richardson declared a national emergency in his state and he said basically that the declaration said the region had been devastated by the ravages and terror of human smuggling, drug smuggling, kidnapping, murder, destruction of property and the death of life stock, this is inadequately the funded and safeguarded today protect the lives and property of new mexico. he was the gofr northerly then. for him, that sounds like donald trump, that s a state level state of emergency i think some of president trump s statement quoted from that, it sure sounds like the exact same language. laura: you can find a district court judge as we ve seen in all these challenges to the president s temporary travel ban, so many other moves, you can did find a district court judge to issue a nationwide injunction thwarting the president s policy for a short time there is not a single judge in california that was appointed by a republican. laura: that s got to change quite frankly the statute is not ripe. laura: ripe, meaning. law geek sorry about that ripe meaning it s premature. the things that are supposed to happen. laura: haven t happened yet that are gonna cause harm to california haven t happened and may not happen. laura: all you law students out there it is not a ripe case or controversy hence the court should step back if we had a fair court the real question is when a nationwide injunction gets issued, i don t doubt it will, how quickly the supreme court is going to block than junction. they re growing tired of single district court judges in california or seattle, counter manning the president of the united states. laura: don t you think they have to put an end to the lower courts? they can and i think the supreme court is about to do it itself as well. laura: well judge boark believed in that god rest his soul. trump has had to deal with this at every turn every turn. it s not just activist courts, we re dealing with a level of activism we ve never seen before. it s almost as if a large number of the judiciary has joined the resistance movement. laura: part of the media, and hollywood and judges. something that doesn t get nearly enough attention when discussing america s immigration debate, the numbers behind what s going on. steve camarota writes in national review pew research has found immigration has added 7 two million people to the u.s. population. the latest census bur pro projections indicates that future immigration will add another 75 million by 2060. they also sense that immigration is remaking the political balance by adding millions of new voters who are voting democratic by about two to one. wow! here now victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institute. victor, pugh tells tuesday i guess 75% of i am grnts are legal. so immigrants are legal. why aren t more people talking about the explosion of legal immigration in the country? well i think it s because they feel it s an advantage to their particular at jebbed da. we re the only multi racial country that s worked sins rome. that can only happen when legal immigration is measured and its diverse and her oh krat i can. different ethnic backgrounds assimilate. the democrats used to believe that. they passed border security measures in the 2000s all the time. i think what s happened is don t you think they discovered that their agenda doesn t win 51% of the electorate any more. radical december graphic changes, here in california one out of every four residents was not born in the united states. it tends to make a predictable voter profile. they re not diverse, crossing the border and vote in predictable ways. laura: we don t have a public school district stem like it was 50 years ago frankly where people learned about the greatness of america, didn t debate about whether the pledge was racist. it s a very different situation with the way kids are educated today which leads to lots of problems. victor i want to stay on the political issue for a moment. let s look at the map, a graphic of california s orange county. this was reagan country. this was classic conservative america. put the graphic up, please. 2016, you see what the vote looked like. and by 2018, well the guam got wiped out. it is blue. you saw few little blue, you know areas, districts but now it s all blue. that happened across california, at least along the coast, victor, which again it was all reagan country. pete wilson is, reagan, and fairly moderate democrats, and now it s a super democrat majority and people still fleeing the state yep. well yeah. when you have ten million of california s 40 million not born in the united states and we re told we prefer the salad bowl they self identify by their ethnic rubric rather than the content of their character. it s very strange because if we get down to the essence of all of this, it was barack obama basically who redefined affirmative action which was designed for 12% of the population who suffered into diversity which meant class didn t matter, prior record of exploitation didn t matter. ongoing bias didn t matter. all you had to be was non-white. that expanded that pool to 100 million americans, one-third of the country all of a sudden said i m not of a minority and i m going to vote accordingly. it was a brilliant move on their part but it was cynical. laura: it was cynical but smart in the end. you had 100,000 voter margin in florida. texas beto came close to beating ted cruz. if it weren t for trump s visits, ted cruz probably would have lost in texas. you have texas and florida. they pick off one of those states victor what happens to the republicans? well they re in trouble. because under the old paradigm if your name was juliani, pelosi oral cuomo or pet pet eventually the it will didn t matter, you were going to assimilate, interrogate and being italian couldn t predict what your political allegiance would be. immigration was not continually. laura: melting pot it wasn t. the democrats got smart and thought open borders is a way to flip red straights blue. they did it with california, in many income, colorado, nevada and it s also within the state. laura: we re doing it with legal immigration legal and illegal. laura: soon illegal. people have to understand this. we give 1.2 million green cards out every year. and every time this is up for a poll o. gallup poll says people either want legal immigration reduced or they want it to stay the same. they do not want a glut of people coming in to keep wages stagnant. they want rising wages. victor thank you so much. we really appreciate it. coming up the lawyers for the covington catholic student nick sandmann have just filed a massive lawsuit. who they re targeting ahead. plus how much did the smollett case cost the police and in return the city of chicago. a former chicago police officers is outraged. he s here to tell us what is that police force is feeling, coming up. laura: an important update tonight in the case of covington catholic student nick sandmann, his lawyers filed their first lawsuit on his behalf against the washington post. it to tune of $250 million, in both compensatory and punitive damages. the complaint argued the newspaper falsely gave the impression that the 115-pound a 16-year-old engaged in acts of racism by swarming philips, blocking his exit from the students, and otherwise engaging in racist misconduct. that the post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented bias against president donald j. trouble by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the president. the dollar amount had relevant, $250 million was the exact price jeff bezos paid for the washington post. back when he bought it in 2013. nicholas sandmann s lawyers close their method with the following, this is only the beginning. and up next, boy, how much did the smollett case cost the city of chicago? not just monetarily, but resources that could have been better served out in the community? total cost of man-hours committed will not come out unless smollett is actually charged, we are told they went well beyond what a comparable investigation of this sort would require, normally. what about the actual crime committed since smollett made his claim? these are the stats the police shared with us today. from genera 28, the day before the alleged smollett incident, through fiber 17th, chicago reported 22 murders, 134 instances of criminal sexual assault, threaded 42 robberies, 88 instances of aggravated battery. what about the backlog of unsolved murders in the city? back in 2000, the city sought 41% of murders that occurred that year. in 2009, only 30% of murders were solved. by 2017, just a 17% of murders were solved. they have to focus all of their resources on fixing that. joining us now is someone with intimate knowledge of that force, former chicago officer dimitri roberts. dimitri, what is the feeling among the chicago pd, do you think, now, with everything that has happened? all the man-hours taken away? i can tell you, someone who is bent on the streets many a night and worked similar cases, it is frustrating when you have a situation like this where, at a minimum, you would expect the victim to cooperate fully and willingly in such a high-profile case, one has brought national media attention. and that is just not happening. the officers i ve spoke with are extremely frustrated with what is going on, but more so as we talk about on several occasions, it is taking critical resources off the streets. laura: we are told he is not cooperating with police. his lawyer is like, he is being victimized by these allegations all over again, kind of blaming the police. he is not going to talk. how do they get him to talk? are you going to subpoena him? i mean, it depends, but i don t know if they are going to waste additional resources with going through subpoenas and the judicial process to get him to talk further. about what obviously, at this point, seems to be some false statements that have been made. laura: you think? and events we have already uncovered to be untrue. i don t know they are going to waste my precious resources laura: grand jury charge him for a felony or nothing? they could do that, but in most cases, the backlog of incidents in chicago, this will unfortunately fall by the wayside out of the new cycle. not something i agree with, but the fact of what is probably going to happen. laura: that is outrageous. but look at all of the unsolved murders. the people going to keep doing these fake hoaxes if they can get away with it? if they can get away with what he seems to have done here? wow. i think that is why we have to bring attention to these things. we have to talk about them in the national media, and we really have to shed light on situations where people are taking such egregious crimes like hate crimes, a very heated political climate in this country, bringing issues and taking away advocacy around things that should be advocated. laura: carty beyond instagram, she said i don t want to completely blame him becausen chicago are racist. that genius, cardi b, as they might try to frame him and look like he is a liar. as the chicago pd racist, dimitri? absolutely not. i served my community very well, and most of the officers are doing the same thing. i m not saying there aren t some bad apples, but i think cardi b is speaking a little out of ignorance, and she needs to give more credit to the officers that she may have to call up in an instance where she is going to need some help yourself. laura: dimitri, thanks so much for your great analysis. up next, isis brides are regretting their real decisions to leave home for the terror paradise of syria. the left-wing media is pushing their sob stories in the united states and in the u.k. sane british broadcaster piers morgan is here with [music playing] (vo) this is jerry. jerry has a membership to this gym, but he s not using it. and he has subscriptions to a music service he doesn t listen to and five streaming video services he doesn t watch. this is jerry learning that he s still paying for this stuff he s not using. he s seeing his recurring payments in control tower in the wells fargo mobile app. this is jerry canceling a few things. booyah. this is jerry appreciating the people who made this possible. oh look, there they are. (team member) this is wells fargo. all of you. how you live, what you love. that s what inspired us to create america s most advanced internet. internet that puts you in charge. that protects what s important. it handles everything, and reaches everywhere. this is beyond wifi, this is xfi. simple. easy. awesome. xfinity, the future of awesome. there were executions. i was okay with it. it is a bad thing for all of the people trying to get me back. i thought i was doing things correctly, and when i came here and i saw everything with my own eyes, i realized i made a big mistake. laura: but she was for the beheadings. media outlets have simultaneously painted a sympathetic picture of these terrorist brides, now yearning for their homelands. do they honestly want us to feel bad for these women? one of the women you just heard from, alabama native hoda muthana, it is not just happening here, the u.k. is dealing with the same problem. piers morgan, editor at large for the dailymail.com, you said of one of these brides looking to come back to the u.k., that she should rot in hell. tell us how you really feel. i see her glib response to a question about beheadings, and i can t even believe we are having this conversation. it s extraordinary, isn t it, that we re even debating this? this is a woman who goes over there, mary s and isis terrorist, supports and isis terrorist, breeds with the nicest terrorist, for all intents and purposes herself, and isis terrorist, isn t she? she is supporting the isis movement, the caliphate, the desire to take over the world with their barbarism, and she witnesses beheadings and appears to think that is a good time. i tell you what, i don t agree that that is a good time. beheadings are despicable, medieval, barbaric, and everyone involved in that kind of behavior has to be made accountable. as we ve just discovered in britain, thank god, tonight, the british undersecretary, the equivalent of homeland security chief in britain, has revoked her citizenship in a case of the isis wife who came from britain. she wouldn t be allowed back in the country without a massive legal fight. i hope america takes exactly the same views of the american isis wife. by the way, didn t marry one isis terrorist, she married three of them. three isis terrorist. i m sorry, laura, but to me, this is completely and utterly nuts. anyone in america or britain who thinks you should come back. laura: come back and spend all of his money litigating their case so some court appointed attorney for the taxpayers have to pay for, argues some cockamamie idea about how she was over there, you know that is what they would argue. leo should revoke their citizenship, as welfare they shouldn t be able to come back here. you want to be taken care of in the middle east where you are probably not going to get the aclu representing you, that was her decision. piers, i want to play another snippet from the alabama isis bride, and you will you won t believe it. let s watch. may be therapy lessons, a process that will ensure that we never do this again. laura: piers, she is saying she could reform herself through therapy lessons, invariably the american taxpayers will have to pay for that, too. let s be very clear, this is the same woman who, on social media three or four years ago, beseeched every muslim in america to rise up and spill american blood. she particularly wanted to do it using drugs to spill american blood. two years later, that is exactly what somebody did in new york, a radicalized islamist in new york got into a truck and mowed down and killed a number of innocent people. she was crying out for this to happen. that blood was spilled. and now she wants to say, hey, i m sorry, i know that the isis dream in syria is over. i know that my isis terrorist husbands have now been killed, and i want to come home because i am now a reformed character. i m not buying any of it. she was very severely radicalized, which is why she was out there, why she stayed out there, why she had the three isis terrorist husbands, and i think she remains a very clear and present danger to americans and to american lives. laura: and kids, they ll have kids. the kids come back and go to american schools, et cetera, et cetera. i have to ask you, you are out in l.a., about the jussie smollett hoax. you already get the sense that the entertainment that has gone quiet for the most part, so why are all of the hollywood activists who rushed into condemn this attack, where are they? where is ellen page? where is she? let s be clear, laura, they rushed in for one reason, this looks like the absolutely perfect storm anti-trump story, didn t it? it was a couple of guys, a couple of white guys wearing make america great again hats, who had launched a deliberate and savage attack on a gay, black actor, and had done so because they were pro-trump. that was the whole narrative that jussie smollett had told everybody. he s been on national television to reinforce this. he s given a very clear account of this appalling, racist, homophobic attack. the only problem is it looks like i hesitate to jump in with complete certainty here, because it has been a crazy story, changing almost by the hour but i think most rational people looking at the story now have come to the conclusion that it is a load of old hogwash. this guy has probably invented the story. if that is true, it is hard to imagine laura: where are the hollywood types? i tell you where they are. they want this to disappear. they want this to have never happened, because the moment it looked like it was what jussie smollett told us, they came, no, no, no, this is the worst thing ever. i would never happened, move on. laura: that is how it always works, when the facts become inconvenient. piers, thanks so much good have fun on the left coast. we will be right back with my twitter smack down of the day or night. night. j tech: at safelite autoglass we know that when you re spending time with the grandkids. music tech: .every minute counts. and you don t have time for a cracked windshield. that s why at safelite, we ll show you exactly when we ll be there. with a replacement you can trust. all done sir. grandpa: looks great! tech: thanks for choosing safelite. grandpa: thank you! child: bye! tech: bye! saving you time. so you can keep saving the world. kids: safelite repair, safelite replace .. how much horse power does this thing got?
