this story and here it is. california s state senator ricardo lara is turning the heat up on the boy scouts moving to strip them of their tax exempt status unless they start allowing in gays. it s important for us to set the tone in california that we are not going to condone discrimination. reporter: and since federal law bars the state from denying the scouts the use of schools or state parks lara and 13 fellow democrats decided to hit the scouts in the wallet. nonprofit status is a privilege that s given by the financial support of all californians. and so if an organization is discriminating they shouldn t be privileged. reporter: official at the scouting district declined to comment saying they haven t had time to study the tax plan but republicans were quick to enter the fray. i think it s an issue of political posturing. we have been waiting for the boy scouts to end the discrimination practice for a while now. we had a meeting in which they decided to kick the can and allow individual troops to determine if they were going to continue discriminating or not. reporter: how much of this is to try to pressure the boy scouts to change? the idea here is to obviously put pressure on the boy scouts. and if this is one way to create leverage, then so be it. a lot of things out here we re looking at might be unintended consequences, for instance what happens to the funding to many popular after- school programs like the boxing academies in senator lara s district in los angeles run by the catholic church? are you setting a precedent that could later apply to places like the catholic church or mormons or other group? i can t predict what other members are going to do. this bill is just focused on the boy scouts. reporter: he plans to kept that focus up in the coming weeks. whether this passes with the two-thirds majority needed whether the governor signs it remains to be seen. but speaking with the senator and others, the plan seems to be to keep the heat on through a series of public meetings and hearings in sacramento and i m sure will garner national and possibly even international attention on an issue this big. you mentioned the two-thirds vote needed. it s because they are changing the tax code in the state, is that it? reporter: exactly. they would be doing that and like i say the, one of the questions is, okay, you do it with the boy scouts, what happens, is somebody else going to be affected? this is going to be a really, really interesting debate up there. politics or posturing? we ll see. much bigger issue. thank you, phil. the fight over proposed cemetery in a bucolic valley just south of mount diablo is coming to a head. a danville developer wants to create thousands of burial plots across 221 acres of a tassajara valley near san ramon. kpix 5 reporter ann notarangelo on the water worries and the group that s not opposed to some quiet neighbors. reporter: more and more people are living in the san ramon valley and that means that at some point many will die here. developers syd curry believes his 221 acreson camino tassajara east of san ramon provides the perfect final resting place. he said several years ago the mayors of san ramon and dublin approached him. and asked me if i would be willing to do a cemetery on the property because it was the perfect place. it was centrally located for five of the surrounding cities. reporter: as you might guess there are some neighbors who have voiced opposition to the $43 million cemetery and the fight has been going on for almost 8 years. if you have 100,000 burial plots and we figure we have a lot more than that, that s going to be used by 100,000 people. how important are two people living next to it trying to stop it? reporter: save mount diablo hasn t taken a position but expressed concern. visually it s going to be potentially an eyesore on the ridgeline. environmentally-friendly, that area has a number of endangered species, plants and animals. what we have on the hill, not the ridge, is something that you wouldn t be able to see when you re driving unless you literally stop the car and look for it. reporter: the county planner working on the proposal also told kpix 5 the current proposal requires more water than what is in the water table. but curry says they have enough water for at least the first three or four phases and is amused by unlikely support for people who usually oppose construction. we re not going to oppose your cemetery because we think your cemetery is a great way to stop housing out there because who wants to build a house next to a cemetery? reporter: while the location is disputed, most say there s a need. we have heard for years there is a need for additional cemetery space in an area that does have a growing population. reporter: here at alamo cemetery for example there are no more ground plots available unless the people already have an existing family plot. the county planning commission will likely take up the issue this spring bringing a decision if not peace to the rolling hills. in contra costa county, ann notarangelo, kpix 5. a man who gave police the slip last week is back in custody after a chase through hayward. officers say 22-year-old solomon espinoza took off after they spotted him this afternoon. he hit two cars before crashing and then trying to run. but he didn t get away this time. espinoza was wanted for assaulting an officer during a traffic stop in san leandro last week. police say he ran off in handcuffs after trying to grab the officer s gun. we are getting a better look at a trio of men who may be linked to a triple homicide in sonoma county. the sheriff today released some surveillance photos of the men who may be accomplices in the forestville murders. these images are from a video taken at a chevron station in st. helena the day before the killings. the men were driving a beige ford ranger that also may be involved in a drug deal gone bad this month. the main suspect mark cappello was arrested in mobile, alabama on valentine s day. he will be extradited to sonoma county to face charges. the bodies of three men were found in a house in a remote area of forestville february 5. the sheriff says there was a lot of blood but no weapon was found. only a small amount of marijuana. in bay area headlines a gas leak emptied a city block for hours in san francisco s mission district. the two inch line at 24th and bryant broke just before 11 a.m. pg&e says the contractor accidentally cracked it while working on a city sewer project. repair

the diablo country club. the couple who lived in the destroyed unit got out safely. no word on the cause. they thought they were above the law. that s what the prosecutor told jurors today during closing arguments in the corruption trial of six former bell city council members. they are accused of taking six- figure salaries from part-time work in one of los angeles county s poorest cities. evidence was presented that the council created bogus commissions that rarely or never met. so they could inflate their salaries. this was a city turned upside-down by a culture of corruption. the former mayor, vice mayor and four councilmembers face 20 felony charges of stealing money from the working class suburb from 2006 to 2010. no more stopping at the toll plaza. starting at the end of march, all tolls on the golden gate bridge are going to be collected electronically. the golden gate bridge district has already started testing that new system. it reads license plates and sends the bill to the registered owner. drivers will still have the fastrak option. people have a decision to make. they can go to fast track a great choice to save money on the golden gate bridge tolls. prepaid balance save money on tolls get your fastrak tags, it s seamless. if you don t want to do that, we recommend a license plate k you only pay when you cross the golden gate bridge no prepaid balance. you pay the $6 toll. okay. what about all the tourists cruising through? bridge officials say they will just photograph their license plates and send the registered owner of the car a bill

s what the it s a shocking ordeal that could terrify anyone. a sleeping couple is rudely awakened to find intruders in their home. but it s what they did next that could have neighbors on poplar avenue in santa cruz talking for weeks to come. kpix 5 reporter da lin on how it ended. reporter: this is the house here, liz. husband and wife team fought off two dumb robbers. in fact, one of those robbers was actually drunk at the time of the home invasion robbery. the fight ended here on the front lawn with the husband and wife sitting on top of one of the robbers the robber s baggy pants fell off. the lights turn on and i kind of sit up, wondering what the heck is happening. i look over there and i see a pair of they looked like banditos. reporter: yarry gonzalez and his wife realized two intruders broke into their home and were now confronting them in their bedroom. i think they were actually surprised to find us in here and they kind of talked amongst each other for a second or two and then they start demanding money from us. reporter: before they could hand the money over, they say the robbers changed their minds. wanted me to put my hands behind my back. reporter: the robbers now wanted to tie them up. the couple s 8 and 12-year-old daughters were sleeping in another room. fearing for their safety, yarry s wife went into action. she picks up one of our heating bags here and she chucks it at the back of weasel s head the smaller guy who is wielding at this point dual wielding a decorative sword from my wall and a screwdriver. it s decorative no edge. reporter: yarry freed his hands and fought the bigger guy. lands on either side of my head. reporter: while his wife fought the smaller guy whom that s dubbed weasel because of his size. yarry was screaming as loud as he could during the fight to get neighbors attention. weasel panicked. he realized the jig was up and he bolted right out the door. reporter: yarry kept fighting the bigger guy. grabbing things. reporter: they then fought in the living room and it kept on until they got out to the front lawn. put the leg out, pushed the guy past you, that took him down and then i was able to get him in a head lock. reporter: he and his wife held on to this man until santa cruz police arrived. police say he has a record ahe is ared for burglary about a year ago. yarry says he as his wife are doing fine just a couple of minor cuts on his face. and santa cruz police are still looking for the other guy at this point. i did talk to the police officers about it. they say that the first thing is to be a good witness in this kind of situation whether you fight with them or not. they say that s a very personal decision and it depends on the circumstances and liz, by the way, they don t believe this case has anything to do with the recent cases over at uc- santa cruz. this couple was lucky they were able to essentially overpower at least one of them. how long did the scuffle take place? it sounds like it was pretty involved and it took a while for them to get them out of the house. reporter: yeah. it did take a couple of minutes. it took about five to 10 minutes or so according to the homeowner. it felt so fast because the adrenaline was pumping at the time. and luckily those two guys did not have they did not have a gun or any type of weapon similar to that. amazing story. da lin, thank you. funding for the america s cup sailing race is rumored to be going belly up. now the city of san francisco may be left picking up that tab. kpix 5 s mike sugerman explains why the city leaders who voted for the final budget plan feel duped. reporter: allen, it s never been smooth sailing for the america s cup since san francisco got it. and this is probably just the latest example. america s cup is currently under water and taxpayers may need to float alone. fundraising isn t going as officials have promised. the city has raised $14 million. they promised 30. i feel yes we have been been played. reporter: supervisor john avalos voted for the final plan as did every other city supervisor. there was a huge full-court press that was on elected officials. i think some of the elected officials were probably in on the game, as well. that was to try to move forward to serve 1% of this world. voters internationally made conditions on approval based on their raising money. we don t have as many boats and therefore, i think the expenses might be have been off. we have kind of updated and reduced it. reporter: there were 12 boats. these are toys. there are going to be 12 boats and that would have cost a lot of excitement around the world because they were all from around the world. but then economic trouble set in. and one by one, boats dropped out of the race leaving only three competitors. so now of course it s a smaller race. there are only three boats. that means less money for the city. but private donations are slowing too. mike, i thought you and i would get on a boat and then i d ask you for a million dollars. reporter: all right. so i [ laughter ] here you go. reporter: a million dollars. now another potential international sporting event san francisco received a letter from the u.s. olympic committee. reporter: inviting the bay area to bid on the 2024 games. we received the letter. it s under review and a huge honor to receive that and be considered. reporter: the city is also biddingn a super bowl. we ll host the upcoming world baseball class thick spring and america s cup in the summer. olympics? back burner. of course, some people are saying, you know, larry ellison is one of the world s richest men with oracle, he s part of this race. he is really putting it on. how come he doesn t spend money? $14, $15million from him? it s not a lot. we haven t heard the last of it. he is the one who wanted it here in the first place. reporter: he s the guy. all right, mike. thanks. it s days like this that make you want to have events like that here in the bay area. it s gorgeous. the olympic committee probably saw the forecast for the next seven days. it s a good place to end the summer games. we need the rainfall and got some

[ non-english language ] reporter: laura, who speaks five languages, volunteered to go as a translatedder with one of the first teams of doctors that traveled from the bay area to guatemala in 1990. this one experience was so overwhelming because in one operation, they can change the life of a child. reporter: from that point on this wife and mother took it upon herself to handle all the details for the next mission. today 100 missions later she is still at the helm. a typical operation rainbow mission involves up to 30 volunteer surgeons, anesthesiologists, technicians and nurses from bay area hopes and beyond. they bring all their own supplies, medical equipment and medicine so that when they are gone that week they can see hundreds of patients and perform dozens of life changing surgeries. they come on foot, by horse. reporter: looking at photos of past trips, it s clear laura has seen it all. but by far the biggest challenge these days is the bureaucracy she navigates from her tiny home office. the governments change frequently over there. we have had problems. problems are part of the package deal. reporter: dr. dave at kin has gone on 25 trips and says the teaching aspect. these missions is critical. our goal is to create independence in physicians, nurses and technicians that we meet so they can care for their own people. when you see the needs, when you see the people who would never get the medical care they need, everybody just bands together and really works hard for the week that we re there. reporter: and no one works harder than laura escobosa. so for coordinating the humanitarian missions of operation rainbow and changing the lives of children around the world, this week s jefferson award in the bay area goes to laura escobosa. kate kelly, kpix 5. and you can help operation rainbow using the link online at cbssf.com. click that connect button at the top of the page then jefferson awards to find our story on laura. unbelievable woman. how inspiring. see a kid smile. you know they weren t smiling when they got there but smiling when they leave. important, great. weather great today. super. couldn t be more of a contrast from what we had yesterday where things were so active you got that heavy rainfall. whole different ball gaming. good evening san jose and the south bay where, yes, it was chilly, breezy but no hail, no thunderstorms like you endured yesterday. let s look at the beautiful bay bridge with the bay lights on. i believe march 5 is the day they officially start but we have been inspired by them just about every night from here on our rooftop. already down to 51 in livermore. san jose 51. santa rosa 51. those are spots that will likely make it to the upper 30s again tonight. oakland in the upper 50s, concord and san francisco in the mid-50s. our radar is clear. we dealt with the precipitation yesterday. but in its wake the low pressure that moved out moved on. in the sierra up to 12k of fresh snow the first widespread snow in three weeks fell in the sierra making it tough for drivers but, you know, the mountains need it and we need to put that water in the bank for later in the year. it s golf season in tucson but not today. there s the saguaro cactus and golf tournament canceled because of the significant snow. they got a couple of inches of snow in tucson and i checked with friends in seattle. tucson, arizona, has now officially had more snowfall than seattle, washington this year. one of the crazy things weather- wise on the west coast. tonight we are cloudy skies, no new snow for us. san rafael 39, vallejo 41. 43 tomorrow morning in oakland. 41 mountain view and 40 for san jose. everybody stays above freezing but perhaps a little bit of patchy frost in the north bay valleys. there s that low pressure area moving out. it moved through phoenix, scottsdale and tucson got snow. a northwest flow for us off the ocean means no snow. the desert in nevada, the air is colder and it was today. for us that departing area of low pressure it s all about the northerly flow. breezy today and tomorrow. temperatures below normal upper 50s to near 60. not bad but not above normal with partly to mostly sunny skies. high pressure builds in to the west and it s the location of the high that will keep all the moisture and there s a lot just to our north. we ll get a near miss no rain for us. showers on saturday in the north bay. aside from that we are dry for the next week. concord tomorrow 59. san jose 59. redwood city 58. morgan hill 58. sunny novato tomorrow 58. 58 also for alameda. extended for example, dry, cloud cover will be there from time to time. highs around 60. but no rainfall for the next 7 days. and likely hitting the mid-60s by next week. we are going to take you to scottsdale where some of that snow fell in sports coming up next. there s a time and a place for flexing your muscles and pumping your chest;

announcement by their count, hillary clinton has achieved the number of delegates she needs to clinch the democratic nomination. here she is in long beach, california. first time she has been seen since this announcement was made tonight. let s go to it live. mayor garcia, thank you so much. i also want to thank lieutenant governor gavin newsom for being here. state senator ricardo lara, state senator kevin de leon. i want to thank the entire long beach city college team led by president oakley. i want to thank busy phillips, alice goff, eric bowman, and samantha ronson. thank you all for being with me. i got to tell you, according to the news, we are on the brink of a historic, historic, unprecedented moment. but we still have work to do, don t we? we have six elections tomorrow. and we re going to fight hard for every single vote, especially right here in california. so i m asking each and every one of you, how many of you have already voted by mail? how many of you have a ballot at home on your kitchen counter? so you can send it in tonight or even better, go to the polls tomorrow and take your family and your friends. you know, i have a special place in my heart for long beach. some of you remember that when my husband was president, he worked closely with your then-mayor, mayor o neal, and your leadership in long beach. he was a good partner for long beach as you began moving into the future, revitalizing long beach. we are proud of what long beach has become and i want to be a good partner for this city. i am so excited by all the progress that you ve made here. and i know that we can do even better. i m a progressive who likes to get things done. so here s what i want to get done. more good jobs with rising incomes. more jobs in infrastructure. our roads, our bridges, our tunnels, our ports, our airports, our water systems. i want us to bring manufacturing back and if we make it here in america, we will put people back to work and we should because we often invent it. so why have it made somewhere else? we can use that great port here to be exporting as well as importing. and we re going to fight climate change. i have a plan to install half a billion more solar panels by the end of my first term. and enough clean renewable energy to power every home by the end of my second term. hillary clinton speaking to supporters in long beach, california. moving into the story, the standard stump speech, part of her remarks. we re going to move away from that. we ll go back to secretary clinton if she goes back to the news she alluded to at the top of her remarks after the thank you which is that about 45 minutes ago the associated press made the announcement by their count, their count of the pledged delegates earned in the primaries and caucuses and by their count of who the superdelegates say they will support, the ap was first to declare tonight that hillary clinton has achieved the number of delegates she needs to become the democratic party s presidential nominee. not long after ap made that determination, nbc news also declared that hillary clinton is the presumptive nominee of the democratic party. she has achieved the delegates she needs to clinch the nomination. now i need to tell you hillary clinton is going to be joining us tonight here on this show in just a few minutes as this news lands like a bombshell on the eve of what will be the final act of the democratic presidential primary in six states tomorrow, including in california, where secretary clinton is speaking right now. again, ap made this call tonight within the last hour. nbc made its own call with the same conclusion shortly thereafter. john lipinski, director of nbc s elections unit, he s here in just a moment to explain the thinking that went into this determination. so there s a couple things going on. we re keeping an eye on hillary clinton, speaking to her supporters in long beach, california. we ll see if she has any further reaction to this news. we re also getting the first written statements from each of the campaigns in response to this news. hillary clinton s twitter account sent this written statement. we re flattered, ap, but we ve got primaries to win. california, montana, new mexico, north dakota, new hampshire which is wrong north dakota and south dakota vote tomorrow. the clinton campaign manager, robby mook, put out this statement. this is an important milestone, but there are six states that are voting tuesday with millions of people heading to the polls and hillary clinton is working to earn every vote. we look forward to tuesday night when hillary clinton will clinch not only a win in the popular vote but also the majority of pledged delegates. now here s the statement from the bernie sanders campaign and spot which one of these is different. this is from the sanders campaign. it s byline san francisco, which is where senator sanders is campaigning tonight. it is unfortunate that the media in a rush to judgment are ignoring the dnc s clear statement that it s wrong to count the votes of superdelegates before they actually vote at the convention this summer. secretary clinton does not have and will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to secure the nomination. she ll be dependant on superdelegates who do not vote until july 25th and can change their minds between now and then. they include more than 400 superdelegates who endorse secretary clinton ten months before the first caucuses and primaries and long before any other candidate was in the race. our job from now until the convention is to convince those superdelegates that bernie is by far the strongest candidate against donald trump. joining us is nbc s director of elections, john lipinski. john, i know that you never sort of willingly wade into controversy. sanders campaign is obviously very upset with this call tonight. can you explain how nbc arrived at this decision? it definitely was not a rush to judgment. what we it s the delegate math. as everybody is talking about, there s pledged delegates and super delegates. superdelegates as you noted is essentially based on interviews. nbc news has essentially had an exhaustive process where we ve called up these superdelegates and basically asked them, who are you going to support? try to get them to tell us. and so what we basically saw over the last couple of days is we saw two things. we saw puerto rico happen, where clinton won handily. so she picked up again, she gained delegates there. what we saw essentially over the last couple of days, especially today and tonight, we saw another batch of superdelegates come in. as you said said, ap called it first. then we did our own sort of independent analysis. and essentially clinton picked up, through this process of the way superdelegates are allocated, picked up superdelegates in over ten states. so john, has nbc and have other networks, the way this is done you can only speak for nbc, i should just ask about that. does nbc regularly canvass all the superdelegates? do you sample some of the superdelegates? do you only call back the ones who hadn t previously given you a commitment? it s an interrogatory process. the democratic party changed a number of superdelegates. now there are 713. it s an exhaustive process where we continually call people. we got some people who right out front firmly committed. a lot of those people made public statements in our media outlets and other outlets, i m supporting clinton. the harder cases were essentially the ones we had to recontact. the reason why this took so long is a lot of people wanted to hold out. because they wanted to essentially give the process sort of a fair shake. they didn t want to do it too early in the process. but what then happened is essentially i think everybody realized that by tomorrow night, it was inevitable. when you actually took the pledged delegates and superdelegates that clinton was going to go over. some peoplesoftened up and decided to come out and make their statements. over the course of this campaign, particularly the latter half of the primaries, the sanders campaign has been making the case that the way they were going to win the nomination was to persuade superdelegates who had previously been in support of secretary clinton they should instead flip to support bernie sanders because he s the stronger candidate. did you ever see any evidence of any superdelegates who had been declared for clinton changing their mind and flipping to sanders? no. if you look at the overall total, she s up 572 to 46 right now. so sanders only had a handful anyways. he could pick up a few here and there. but it was an overwhelming number of people in the superdelegates supporting clinton. i think what s going to be interesting, why tomorrow night is still very important i don t think we should take our eye off tomorrow night it s going to give clinton the opportunity to sort of win the trifecta. she s going to be up in the superdelegates, clearly. tomorrow night she ll be able to actually essentially claim victory, i think, on the pledged delegates, depending how tomorrow night goes, and we ll see. wait for the results to determine this. then we ll see the popular vote. we ll look at all three and see where she lands on all of those. there s been only polling in a couple of these states. some of these states are completely silent. we ll let the voting process work its way through and tomorrow night it s not over. because we still have the district of columbia. washington, d.c. so it s not like i think everybody s saying, tomorrow night. in any case, there is one more. and so what we re going to do is be able to say, tomorrow night, or maybe it won t be tomorrow night, depending if we re able to call all these races. we ll see where essentially clinton and sanders land on all three of these buckets. in terms of those in terms of understanding the scale of this victory, nbc news declaring her the presumptive nominee, we can say she s presumptively won it. on superdelegates, there s no chance that sanders is going to keep up there catch up there. i guess maybe. he continues on and tries to convince people to flip. but that s a pretty tall task. in the sense of looking at those margins. we really haven t seen people flipping in the process. maybe someone here and there. but it s really not it s been consistent. let s come back to the superdelegates. on the other two, on the popular vote, clinton has been saying she s ahead by 3 million votes, she s ahead by so many votes in the popular vote that the overall outcome in terms of who wins the popular vote is not in doubt. with the six states ahead, d.c. it s hard to imagine that would be in doubt. in terms of the pledged delegates majority, my understanding is as long as hillary clinton wins something like one-third of the pledged delegates at stake tomorrow it s hard to imagine, looking at the contests, where you ve seen lopsided victories where sanders has won big in the sense of huge, other than his home state, is in a few caucus states. tomorrow night there s only one caucus state. when you look at no one, california, those are larger primary states. california is a huge primary state. the way the process works, the way the democrats allocate delegates, is hard to win it s really hard to pick up huge hauls of delegates on any particular night. the way that senator clinton has essentially done this is that it s been through a process. it s been through a lot of states. that s incrementally built her lead. so it s really hard to sort of given how long it took to build that lead, it s hard to take it away. just trying to keep focused on the sande campaign really rejecting this determination tonight by nbc news and by the ap, and their explicit argument and statement is that the media is rushing to judgment and ignoring the democratic national committee s statement that it is wrong to count the votes of superdelegates before they actually vote at the convention this summer. can you speak to that? do you know what they re talking about there? technically, they actually they make their final formal decisions at the convention. but this is the way this is done. this is the process. in a sense of it s really hard, especially to imagine how like so many of these delegates came out for her so early, supportive of her, to see them flip. she s going to have a huge when you sort of think about it, the two factors i think that if sanders were to go in, essentially to the convention, where he had won the popular vote and won the pledged delegates, maybe. maybe there was a case he could swing some delegates. i m not saying he can t swing a few, i don t know. it s impossible to know. he s going to sort of hold out. but the idea he doesn t have a lot of- there s not a lot there to make that argument and that case. i don t know what his argument and case will be. i hi he s said he s going to reassess things. i can t get into his mind and know what his decision is going to be. just speaking to when we do this, we don t listen to the campaigns when we do this. it s the delegate math. hillary clinton was planning i think a big event tomorrow night. i m sure she would have liked to have had that event assuming things went the way we thought they would, be claimed presumptive nominee tomorrow night. so she gets to do it on the fly tonight. so again, not just the nbc news decision desk but all the other media decision desks. i don t think they re being influenced yea speak directly but i don t think they re being influenced by the campaigns. we do this when we can. if we weren t confident in the decision we wouldn t have done it, we would have waited. that s how we have done every contest through this entire very long primary season. tonight is definitely proof that the decision desk does not do anything because the campaigns want it, because neither campaign wants this tonight. yeah. both of them have been spending and spending and spending in california, working their guts out in california. they re focused on these six states. they had game plans that depend very much on the momentum that they perceived they would get out of these contests. this does step on it. but as you say, the math doesn t care. it steps on it maybe, but really, they want to win. both. if you were to have clinton and sanders here, they want to win california, they want to win that doesn t change. i don t think that changes one bit. i don t think that given this came so late in the game, i don t think that they re going to stop whatever they were going to do. they re not going to change anything they were going to do through tomorrow. so i don t know, i mean, i don t think it steps on it as much as some people may say. that s not your responsibility. it s not my responsibility. people can say what they want. and they will. they will, absolutely. i completely understand that. john lipinski, director of the elections unit at nbc news, is. that you are a guy who s much happier in your office, not being on camera, so i m always grateful whenever you do this. thank you so much. join us by phone is nbc s andrea mitchell who has been covering the clinton campaign since the beginning. andrea, thank you for joining us on short notice. this is some surprise news. you bet. and it s the news exactly as john was saying, the clinton campaign did not want. perhaps a little less so than the sanders campaign. hillary clinton on stage in long beach, california. you interviewed her earlier. i was covering a rally. i m at l.a.x. to be completely transparent, i m heading back for all of our coverage tomorrow morning. and the fact is, what she s said so far is, i ve got to tell you, according to the news, we are on the brink of an historic, unprecedented moment, but we still have work to, do don t we, we have six elections tomorrow, we are going to fight hard for every single vote, especially right here in california, so i m asking each and every one of you how many of you have already voted by mail? how many of you have a ballot at home on your kitchen counter? you can send it in tonight, even better go to the polls tomorrow, take your family and friends. exactly what they didn t want was to have this news, have her people say home, and perhaps have senator sanders people be angrier and more passionate and maybe they come out, single-digit race, very hard fought, goes to him because her people get too complacent. that s not what campaigns want. she also as you know has another big event at the greek theater in l.a. then she s got her big what she hopes would be her victory, historic celebration tomorrow night, brooky navy yard. that s where she wanted after the polls closed in new jersey to be announcing this. she wants new jersey voters to go out. she doesn t want them to stay home. so it also is enraging the sanders people. they re saying it s a rush to judgment. and it could make it harder to persuade senator sanders that the math is the math and that this is the time for him to concede, after california, and decide to reunite the party. functionally, it s interesting, andrea. we had heard some of the same frustration and the worry and sort of anticipatory warnings from the sanders campaign about the prospect of the race being called after the polls close in new jersey tomorrow at 8:00. people were worried even just that matter of a few hours might dampen turnout in california, might give a sense of momentum or a sense of ending in the campaign. that they didn t necessarily want to damp down in terms of what was going to happen in california. now that effect has been moved forward by almost exactly 24 hours. there is i think there is an unsettled nature to the fact that wore getting this unexpected time. we re going to hear from the sanders campaign live in just a moment to try to get a better sense of exactly how they are reacting to this. isn t it your sense that if we weren t having this conversation tonight at 9:00 we d be having this conversation tomorrow night at 9:00 on basically the same grounds? exactly. but this does reinforce bernie sanders complaint that the system is rigged. he has, truth be told, tried to argue the superdelegate issue both ways, saying that he doesn t believe in superdelegates, wants to change it at this convention, change those rules. at the same time saying that he should have the opportunity to change the minds of superdelegates even if she s 3 million plus votes ahead in the popular vote. so it is it s internally inconsistent to try to use that system that he has derided so strongly. that said, they re angry. you see the statement they pit out, it s a rush to judgment, blaming the media. and it s a feeling of discomfort that because of these superdelegates, because of this head count, the voters in six states tomorrow, to say nothing of the district of columbia, people don t often think of the voters in district of columbia, but living there for so many years, we like to vote even if we don t have congressional representation or our own budget. small argument there. by a resident of the district of columbia. look. it is a very strange system indeed. yet the party believes that these superdelegates, who are members of congress, governors, former democratic chairpeople, have the right to have some say over how the party is run. that they have a vested interest in this. bernie sanders, having been a lifelong independent and socialist and the people around him, with the exception of tad devine, who is a democrat, democratic strategist for so many decades, working on bernie sanders behalf, they have a different perspective on it. and the sanders, jane and bernie and the people around them feel very strongly this is unfair. to have this called tonight before the voting in california is only going to make that much worse. and i think it s going to hurt the president s efforts to try to bring the party together this week. andrea mitchell, joining us from los angeles, she s been covering the clinton campaign, thank you. right good to have you with us. we ll hear from the sanders campaign in terms of getting their response. we ve had john lipinski on here to explain how nbc news came to this determination. ap was first, nbc followed soon thereafter with the determination that hillary clinton has achieved the number of delegates she needs to clinch the democratic nomination for president. thereby becoming the first woman nominated for president by any major party in the history of our country. in the short-term, the politics is very unsettled. in some cases unsettling. the big picture, the big arc of history tonight, this is something that s never happened before in the history of the united states. we ll hear from the bernie sanders campaign. also my interview from earlier tonight with hillary clinton. stay with us. you both have a perfect driving record. perfect. no tickets. no accidents. that is until one of you clips a food truck, ruining your perfect record. yeah. now you would think your insurance company woulcut you so slack, ght?

[ digital typewriting ] it s not just security. it s defense. bae systems. the associated press declared hillary clinton had achieved the requisite number of delegates to effectively clinch the democratic party s nomination for president. nbc news made the same declaration, that hillary clinton is the presumptive nominee for the democratic presidential nomination. the sanders campaign is not taking this lying down. putting out a statement calling this a rush to judgment by the media, saying secretary clinton does not have and will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to secure the nomination. she will be dependant on superdelegates who do not vote until july 25th and who can change their minds between now and then. joining us now by phone is bernie sanders campaign spokesperson, michael brigs. it s nice to have you with us, thanks for joining us. thanks, rachel. i ve seen the written statement. what else can you tell me about your response and the senator s response to this declaration tonight? you re seeing it as not good news. we re seeing it as a rush to judgment. it counts superdelegates that the democratic national committee itself says should not be counted because they haven t voted, won t vote until the summer. they have in the past and they can change their minds. and our job between now and the convention in philadelphia is to make the case to these superdelegates that it s in their self interests, in the democratic party s self-interests, if they want to have the candidate who has the best chance of defeating donald trump this november, to take another hard look at bernie sanders. and the reason yes say that is because in poll after poll here in california and across the country, bernie does far, far better than secretary clinton in matchups with donald trump. in fact, in several recent ones she s losing to donald trump. that ought to sauce the dnc and superdelegates some concern. there s a report in roll call which said democratic superdelegates are reporting that they re not really actively being lobbied by your campaign, they don t feel pressure or persuasion from your campaign this they ought to be switching their votes. i know that this is a strategy that you guys have described in terms of this being your path to the nomination, persuading these superdelegates to move. have you actively been working on persuading these superdelegates to move? making phone calls, contacting them, we ll be doing more of that as the process moves beyond the elections in california and five other states tomorrow and the district of columbia a week from tomorrow. yes. do you have anything to report in terms of superdelegates flipping from previously supporting secretary clinton to now supporting senator sanders or previously undeclared superdelegates who have been coming your way? in order to rebut this determination by the ap and nbc and other networks now, you d have to make the case that the superdelegates actually are on your side more than they appear to be. true. and the senator acknowledges that he s pretty good at arith may tick and he knows it s an uphill climb. the mistake a lot of the people have made down through the years with regard to bernie sanders is that they ve underestimated him. the case is being made to the superdelegates, we re at the tail end of the primary and caucuses. there s a big election in california tomorrow where the polls have over the last several days shown consistently that it s a toss-up. one of the polls from los angeles times had bernie ahead by a point. so we think it s important to give the voters their say and not to cut off this process at this point. and this is inspiration for people cross california, new jersey, south dakota, north dakota, montana, new mexico, to go to the polls tomorrow and have your voice be heard, have your vote be counted. let me ask you about senator sanders view on this process overall. there is it s one thing to contest the primary, it s another thing to say that you are not being allowed to fairly contest the primary because the system is rigged. and that s the argument shifting more toward that direction from senator sanders and your campaign recently. he has not said the system is rigged. he knew what the system was coming in. does he have some concerns about the system? yes. does he think new york was wrong, for example, to leave millions of independents out of the process? yes. but we think that it s something that the convention this summer ought to take a look at. as a part of a process of opening itself up and welcoming the millions of people that senator sanders has helped bring back into the process. the young people who have come out in record numbers and we ll see many of them tonight at a rally here in san francisco, who are coming out more than 10,000, 15,000 people going to show up as part of this process. and in california we ve also seen a surge in voter registration. there s a record 18 million voters registered in this state. over the past year there s been more than 1.5 million independent and democratic voters. something s going on that the democratic party in its long-term interests should figure out a way to recognize and embrace. it s been interesting to see both your campaign and the clinton campaign sort of not necessarily welcome the timing of this news. secretary clinton in long beach telling her crowd that tomorrow s an important election, people need to get out and vote. that s a parallel message from both of you. but in terms of what happens next and if this is not a rigged system but a system that you are just contesting as hard as you can and therefore there will be an answer, there will be an end to this at some point, that senator sanders will be able to describe as fair and square, i have to ask you about when you would consider it to be over. because in 2008, senator sanders stayed out of the race, stayed out of the primary between hillary clinton and barack obama until the very, very end. he told the free press in burlington in 2008 he held off supporting either of those candidates because he made it a custom not to support any democrat for the presidential nomination until the party had chosen its nominee. but then he endorsed barack obama when barack obama was at the position that hillary clinton is right now. not when he had a secured the nomination with pledged delegates alone. not even actually senator sanders didn t wait for hillary clinton to get out of the race in 2008, he endorsed barack obama saying the race was over between obama and clinton once obama had the right number of delegates with both pledged delegates and super delegates combined. if that standard ended the race for him fair and square in 2008, why wouldn t that end the race for him fair and square tonight? well, it s because there are differences between them now. he s led a dramatic, revolutionary resurgence in the party and we are trying our darnedest to give those people the voice that they have earned and deserve in the democratic party process. michael briggs, spokesman for the senator sanders campaign, i know it s a tough night and you have a lot of demands on your time. thank you for being with us. thanks for having me. that was interesting. we ll have more ahead on the parallels between what happened in 2008 and how that race ended and what just happened tonight in the democratic race as the ap and nbc news declare that hillary clinton is now the presumptive democratic party presidential nominee. still to come, my interview with hillary clinton from earlier this evening, stay with us. i use what s already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what s within me with once-wely trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it s supposed to do release its own insulin. trulicity responds when my blood sugar rises. i take it once a week, and it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. it should be used along with diet and exercise. trulicity is not recommended as the first medicine to treat diabetes and should not besed by people with severe stomach or intestinal problems or people with type i diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. trulicity is not insulin and has not been studied with long-acting insulin. do not take trulicity if you or anyone in your family has had medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 or if you are allergic to trulicity or its ingredients. stop using trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as itching, rash, or difficulty breathing; if you have signs of pancreatitis such as severe stomach pain that will t go away and may move to your back, with or without vomiting or if you have symptoms of thyroid cancer, which may include a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. medicines like trulicity may cause stomach problems, which could be severe. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and any medicines you take. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase your risk for low blood sugar. co side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. some side efcts can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney failure. with tlicity, i click to activate wh s within me. if you want help improving your a1c and blood sugar numbers with a non-insulin option, click to activate your within. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. on this historic night we heard from senator sanders campaign spokesman, michael briggs, responding to this news from the ap that hillary clinton is the presumptive democratic nominee. senator sanders has been saying for a week now that the ap and all the networks should not project hillary clinton as the presumptive nominee of the democratic party because the sanders campaign has said she can t technically clinch the nomination any time ahead of the convention. because the superdelegates won t cast their votes until the convention. but now that the ap has made its determination that hillary clinton has achieved the number of delegates she needs to clinch the nomination, and nbc news has made the same determination, now honestly hillary clinton will start to be described as the democratic party s presumptive presidential nominee. that s what we can say as of tonight. for the first time in the history of our country, a woman will be a major party nominee for president of the united states. and in any circumstances, that is a very big deal. i spoke with hillary clinton tonight just before the associated press made their call that by their count she now has the delegates to be the dpmic par democratic party s nominee. joining us now from los angeles is democratic presidential candidate, former secretary of state, hillary clinton. secretary clinton, thank you so much for taking time tonight. glad to talk to you, rachel. how are you feeling about tomorrow s contest? california, new jersey, the dakotas, new mexico, montana, it s a lot of states tomorrow. it s a lot of states. and we re working hard in every one of the states to get as big a turnout as possible. i ve got a great campaign going. lots of volunteers. our supporters are working overtime. so we re going to work hard until the last votes are cast tomorrow. it would be surprising mathematically if you did not hit the magic number tomorrow night and effectively clinch the democratic nomination. because of that, should we expect that you are going to declare victory, do you have a victory speech tomorrow night when you give your remarks in brooklyn? i will be speaking tomorrow night, and right as you and i speak today i m 3 million votes ahead of senator sanders, nearly 300 pledged delegates ahead. and i think that s a very firm foundation going forward. let me ask again about the victory declaration. obviously semantics at this point matter. not just because of marking milestones in the race put also because of hurt feelings, because of the prospect of trying to achieve unity among the various supporters and the various candidates. would it be inappropriate to declare victory? do you plan to give the kind of speech that reflects the fact that you ve clinched the nomination? you ll have to wait and see tomorrow night. but i think it s pretty clear that that s what s going to happen. and i m very excited and very proud of that. nbc s andrea mitchell just confirmed tonight that president obama spoke with senator sanders over the last couple of days. over this weekend. as this primary does come to an end, is president obama getting involved personally in trying to bring the party together? well, you d have to ask the white house. we all want to bring the party together. that is something i ve been talking about. i ve said that i will do my part. that s what i did. actually eight years ago tomorrow, june 7th, in 2008. i had a much closer race with then-senator obama than senator sanders has with me. the popular vote was literally neck and neck. the delegate gap was much smaller. but i took the position that he had a lead in the pledged delegates. that s what we look at. that s what superdelegates look at. and i withdrew. and i also endorsed him. and i knew how important it was that we unify the democratic party. i think it s equally important this time around. when senator sanders has been essentially warning the networks, warning journalists, they shouldn t declare the nomination clinched tomorrow, even if you do cross the delegate threshold, because he says the superdelegates can t really be counted until they vote at the convention. as you just explained that was not your can includes calculus when the race was closer than it is now. does that frustrate you? i find it perplexing. what he basically seems to be saying is that the will of the people should be overturned. i have this very substantial lead in the popular vote. more than 3 million votes. that means more than 3 million democrats and others voting in democratic contests have chosen me. i have a very significant lead in pledged delegates. he s basically seems to be suggesting that superdelegates should overturn the will of the people. that is just hard for me to understand. it s never happened before. it s not going to happen this time. are you lobbying superdelegates now to try to shore them up in case he does no. continue to press that ca case? no. the people have already spoken. this would be unprecedented for someone who makes this case, and i know he and numbers of his supporters do, they have to answer some basic questions. why are you advocating that you want to overturn the will of the people who have been expressing their views for these last many months? more than 3 million votes ahead in the popular vote? senator obama and i were neck and neck. 300 pledged delegates ahead with more to come? i really don t understand the argument. basically going to superdelegates and trying to persuade them to overturn the primaries and caucuses and their results? never has happened. it is not going to happen this time. the sooner we unify and make our case against donald trump, the better off the democratic party will be. that is what i ve been advocating. i made the case against him in san diego last week. i m going to be continuing to make the case against him. and whatever differences we may have between senator sanders and myself or that my supporters and his may feel, they pale in comparison to the differences with donald trump. we both want to raise the minimum rage. we both want to make sure we get to universal health care coverage. we both want to make sure we have good, strong regulations on wall street. we have a lot in common in the goals that we have set, all of which donald trump rejects, repudiates, walks away from. so i don t really understand the argument that s being made. what i believe is, we need to unify our party. i will do my part. others are also going to be reaching out and i hope that senator sanders will reciprocate. i think part of the reason that andrea mitchell s reporting about this conversation between president obama and senator sanders, i think part of the reason that was such an intriguing report tonight is because i have heard that argument from you, i ve heard a version of that argument from senator sanders. everybody observing this primary fight between you and senator sanders has been thinking about what party unity is going to look like. the importance of it, how it s going to happen. and i think i have a lot of curiosity and other people have curiosity as to how it happens. what the nuts and bolts, ways are that that comesing to. are you speaking directly with senator sanders? are your campaigns talking? do you plan to? our campaigns are certainly talking. and i will be reaching out after tomorrow night. because i obviously want to unify the party. and as i just said, we have so much more in common. and we face a very serious threat from donald trump. i think that he is unqualified to be president. i think he is temperamentally unfit to be commander in chief. i think whatever party you are, whatever your political philosophy might be listening to what donald trump says, even trying to imagine what it would mean for our country, for our place in the world, how others would view us, what we could do to make a positive agenda a reality to help americans there is no doubt that donald trump is the threat that i think he poses to america that is going to unite the democratic party. bloomberg reported this evening that mr. trump got on to a conference call with his surrogates and his supporters and he told them that they should continue to attack the judge in the trump university case, this judge who mr. trump has gone after on the basis of his race. mr. treasure personally told his surrogates on this call they should call reporters racist if reporters even continued to ask about this story. i know you ve been very critical of mr. trump on this. but with that sort of doubling down, even in the face of all of this criticism, even from his own side, are you worried that this campaign, that his side of this campaign is going to stoke some kind of racial conflagration in this country that s going to be bigger than just a political fight? i m certainly going to do my best to prevent that. i m going to run a positive campaign about what i want to see for our country, the kind of opportunity or progress that i know we can make together. i m going to continue to call him out when he does make statements like that. i think if you go back, i was the very first person to call him out about the outrageous comments he made about immigrants, calling them rapists and criminals. i was criticizing donald trump for his divisive, insulting, dangerous language a year ago, last summer. i ve continued to point out that his kind of hateful rhetoric has to be repudiated no matter what party you are or where you live or what your background is. this attack, this racist attack on the judge, is just another example of how he is absolutely impervious to the values of america. to the progress that we have made over many, many decades. to accuse an american judge, someone born in indiana, who is as american as i am and certainly as american as donald trump, that based on his heritage he cannot oversee a trial that is brought by plaintiffs who feel they ve been defrauded by mr. trump and his so-called trump university, is a terrible precedent. he s trying to demean and defame a federal judge who was a very accomplished federal prosecutor who was first appointed by a republican governor in california and then appointed to the federal bench by president obama. he recently said he didn t know if a muslim judge could be fair to him. i imagine he ll move on to women judges because he s been insulting women so regularly. maybe a judge with a disability or perhaps one who was a former p.o.w. or african-american. this is dangerous nonsense that undermines the rule of law, that makes him appear to be someone who has no respect for fellow americans. and i think it is yet more evidence why this man is dangerous and divisive and disqualified from being president. do you think that mr. trump is a racist? do you think he s running an overtly racist campaign for president? i don t know what s in his heart, but i know what he s saying with respect to the judge. that s a racist attack. with the attacks on so many other people. he is calling them out for their ethnic background, their race, their religion, their gender. i don t know what else you could call these attacks other than racist, other than prejudiced, other than bigoted. just plain wrong. and certainly wrong coming from someone who is vying to become president of the united states. secretary clinton, i know your time is tight. i have one last question for you. we re about to have as a country. if and when you clinch that number tomorrow night, you will become the first woman ever nominated for president in this country. why do you think it took us 240 years to get there? oh, rachel, i think that it will be a great moment. i don t want to get ahead of myself. i want everybody who can to vote tomorrow in all the states holding primaries. but it is historic and i m wear of that. i take that responsibility seriously. i ll have more to say about it. but i think it s going to be a very positive development, not just for little girls and women but for little boys and men because i m running to be president for every single american. former secretary of state, hillary clinton, thank you for taking time tonight on this very busy evening. really appreciate it. thank you. good to talk to you, rachel. that was just a little while before the ap and msnnet nbc ne declared she has reached the number she needs to clinch the democratic nomination. 13 super delegates confirmed this evening that they are supporting soak reitary clinton and that was enough to put her over the 2383 she needs to clinch that nomination. bernie sanders are rejecting this determination tonight. they re saying no super delegates should be included because they don t technically cast their votes until the convention. he says he ll try to persuade super delegates to flip the race to him and they should not be seen as on either side between him and secretary clinton until they actually have to cast their votes. before knowing this determination had been made tonight, i put that case to hillary clinton. she described senator sanders making that case as quote perplexing. she said such a strategy would be unprecedented and quote it s not going to happen this year. we don t know what the sanders campaign is going to do next now that she has been declared the presumptive nominee, we don t know what process as the democratic party as a whole will go through now as the primary ends in this contentious way. we re going to hear live from the clinton campaign manager. that s next as our live coverage continues. what s it like to be in good hands? man, it s like pure power at your finger tips. like the power to earn allstate reward points, every time i drive. .want my number? and cash back for driving safe. and the power to automatically find your car. i see you car! and i got the power to know who s coming and when if i break down. .you must be gerry. hey. in means getting more from your car insurancee with the all-powerful drivewise app. it s good to be in, good hands. youthat s why you drink ensure. sidelined. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing. ensure. .wt you love. always be you. when a moment turns romantic stoto findo a bathroom??

right now, as hillary said tonight, we re really focussed on the millions of people who will be going to the polls tomorrow. until all the votes are counted, all the delegates are allocated and that s what we re focussed on right now. does that mean you also reject this declaration? it s very exciting news but hillary made a pledge at the beginning that she s going to fight for every single vote, fight for every single delegate. i think the proof is in the results. hillary leads by more than 3 million popular votes. a leadoff almost 300 pledge delegates. she s won more states and we want to continue to build on that lead going into these final contests. so, that s where we re focussed on right now. obviously this news is really exciting but we re focussed, noses to the grind stone and we re going to keep working until the polls are closed tomorrow. are the two campaigns talking at any high level in terms of had you this is going to resolve or things that need to be negotiated between your two sides? first of all, i have tremendous respect for my colleague on senator sanders campaign. we ve spoken regularly throughout this entire contest. i m incredibly proud of the work that s been done in his campaign to bring more people into this process. they have organized so many volunteers, brought in so many voters, raised historic numbers of contributions online and i m very confident that once these contests are over that this party will come together and we will move forward into the general election with hillary clinton as our nominee and as i said, i m very confident that senator sanders and his campaign will be part of that. can you shed any light on what you intend to do? you and your candidate in terms of trying to reach out to sanders supporters, sanders volunteers, donors, the way you ll try to make that case? i think first and foremost, we intend and have begun to ask for their support. we have tremendous admiration for what senator sanders has accomplished on this campaign. so, we re going toing ask directly for their support. secretary clinton has already begun that process and the fact of the matter is for the democratic nominee to win in the general election, this is all all hands on deck exercise. everyone who s stud up for the issues we all believe in, affordable college for every american, affordable health care, protecting the values we cherish as a country. we all have to come together. and i m very confident that we will. and hillary will be talking about her vision, an economy that works for everyone and we, as a campaign, will be reaching aught to senator sanders activists and asking them for their help on this campaign. the stakes are so high, the threat that donald trump presents to our country is so dire that i know people will come on board and we re going to get this done. clinton campaign manager, i can tell you directly, sir, that you have just became a campaign manager that has won a nominee for a major party. thanks for being with us. thanks so much and credit to our thousands of volunteers. spoken like a good campaign man.ager. and that does it for us. our live coverage continues on what has been a bomb shell evening with the associated press and the nbc declaring that hillary clinton has clinched the democratic nomination. our coverage will start

Transcripts For KPIX CBS Weekend News 20170514



ninan: good evening. i m reena ninan. this is a western edition. at least nine candidates are in the running to replace james comey as head of the f.b.i. president trump said today his nomination could come within the week. his pick will have to be confirmed by the republican-controlled u.s. senate. the president spoke to reporters en route to liberty university in lynchburg, virginia, where he delivered the commencement address. here s errol barnett. and i m thrilled to be back at liberty university. reporter: before returning to the largest christian college in ene country for his first commencement speech as president today, mr. trump said a new f.b.i. director is imminent. i think the process is good, no going to go quickly, because almost all of them are very well known. they ve been vetted over their lifetime. reporter: washington is still reeling from the president s decision to fire former f.b.i. director james comey amid his thvestigation into russia. the president told nbc news fomey was fired because of how he handled the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. what happened, he had a lot of pressure put on, and he exonerated her. he should have never exonerated her. reporter: on friday, mr. trump denied reports he asked comey for his loyalty the week after inauguration. did you ask that question? no, no, i didn t, but i don t think it would be a bad question to ask. i think loyalty to the country, loyalty to the united states is teportant. an reporter: and refused to discuss an earlier tweet warning comey that there may be tapes of their conversations. that i can t talk about. i won t talk about that. reporter: sources tell cbs news comey is not worried about legs, t top democrats, concerned the integrity of the f.b.i. s investigation into russia could be jeopardized, sent this letter to white house counsel requesting copies of all recordings regarding this ottter. wo you cannot stop the men and women of the f.b.i. from doing the right thing. reporter: current acting direct andrew mccabe is among possible comey replacements. those in consideration include republican senator john cornyn of texas; alice fischer, a former assistant attorney general; judge michael garcia from new york state court of appeals; and federal judge henry hudson from virginia. four other top-level counterintelligence officials have also been interviewed. another name added to the mix today, former michigan congressman mike rogers. he s been endorsed by the f.b.i. agents association and is head of the house intelligence committee. attorney general jeff sessions and his deputy are still vetting candidates, but once they make their recommendation, president trump will select a nominee who will then seek senate confirmation. reena? ninan: errol barnett traveling with the president. there is breaking news tonight from the korean peninsula. cbs news confirms north korea launched a missile sunday morning, local time. from its test facility. a s unclear what type of missile was fired and whether the launch was successful. it comes just hours after a senior north korean diplomat said the communist dictatorship would be open to talks with the united states, under the right uenditions. continued missile tests by the north would, of course, ruin any chances of diplomatic breakthrough. adriana diaz has more from beijing. reporter: while traveling irough beijing international airport, senior north korean diplomat choe son hui, said north korea is open to talks with the u.s. if conditions are right, she said, we ll speak to the trump administration. her comments follow president s ump s overture to north korea airlier this month when he said he would be honored to meet with dictator kim jong-un under the right circumstances. the ratcheting down of rhetoric comes after months of escalating exchanges between washington and pyongyang. north korea has continued to test banned ballistic missiles. while the u.s. has beefed up its military presence in the region ta a show of force, including the deployment of an aircraft farrier off the korean peninsula. the comments also come days after south korea elected a new president this week who prefers engagement with the north instead of isolation. talks between the u.s. and north korea are still not likely to happen soon. north korea remains committed to its nuclear development program, and american officials say they re not willing to sit down with pyongyang unless they change course. adriana diaz, cbs news, beijing. a ninan: attorney general jeff hassions sent a memo to federal prosecutors calling for the toughest charges possible to be filed against most suspects taken into custody. sessions says harsher penalties are needed to curb the rising murder rate and opioid epidemic. here s justice reporter paula reid. i have empowered our prosecutors to charge and pursue the most serious offense, as i believe the law requires. reporter: this week, attorney general jeff sessions ordered federal prosecutors to charge defendants with the crime that carries the highest possible sentence. ow they can likely prove it, now they must charge it. it means that we re going to meet our responsibility to enforce the law with judgment and fairness. reporter: this reverses previous policies put in place by attorney general eric holder. his smart on crime policy aimed to reduce the number of people charged with offenses that carry stiff mandatory minimum sentences. on friday, holder released a statement criticizing sessions new policy as dumb on crime, but sessions defends his policy as a necessary tool to combat an uptick in crime. we re seeing an increase in violent crime in our cities, particularly in baltimore, chicago, memphis, and milwaukee, st. louis, and many others. it takes us back to the bad nld days of the 1980s when the politically popular thing to do was to say, let s get tough on crime, tough on drugs. reporter: marc mauer is the c ecutive director of the sentencing project. i we know that putting more people in prison is not the most effective way to deal with crime problems. reporter: this approach is also criticized for having an adverse impact on minorities. ir the entire drug war from start to finish has been disproportionately affecting low-income people of color. reporter: but the attorney general believes he s giving prosecutors discretion they need to gain leverage over criminals. they deserve to be unhandcuffed and not micromanaged from washington. reporter: reena, the most immediate impact of this policy will be more people behind bars. pe federal prison population has declined over the past yeveral years, but with attorney general sessions, more aggressive enforcement of immigration laws and changes to sentencing

cyber-extortion attack. tens of thousands of computers in about 100 countries were affected. experts say the so-called ransomware is no longer spreading. jonathan vigliotti has the latest from london. reporter: the massive hack crippled computer systems around the world from taiwan to turkey. spain s telephone system was among the first targeted. russia s largest mobile phone company was hit. american-based fedex announced they were also infected. in the u.k., the virtual attacks sent the national health service into emergency mode. ambulances and patients were turned away from hospitals across the country. they said, i m really sorry, but the computer system is down. you re going to have to go away. we can t have any appointments. it would be dangerous to do so because we can t access any files. reporter: hackers encrypted those files, rendering them treadable. to encode them, they demanded $300 in ransom. the amount would double after three days. if ignored, they warned the data would disappear. the hack appeared to exploit a vulnerability in microsoft windows, first identified by the us national security agency and later leaked in a series of iolen documents. british politicians immediately fired back, including labour party leader jeremy corbyn. what we ve now got is a bunch of 21st century highway robbers that have hacked into our n.h.s. and basically offering protection money to get the information back in order to treat cancer patients or anybody else. it s unbelievably disgusting. reporter: hackers tricked victims into opening corrupt links in emails disguised as ngvoices and security warnings. it s a primitive technique that cyber experts say can be guarded against by regularly backing up data and updating software. here in the u.k., government officials say computer systems are almost fully back up and running, but it s still unclear who is behind the attack. but, reena, analysts say the attack appears to be the work of cyber criminals and not state sponsored. ninan: thank you, john. the u.s. customs and border patrol say they have chosen a finalist to build the border wall with u.s. and mexico. meanwhile, carter evans reports on a controversial plan to punish businesses that build the wall. we need the wall, and we will build the wall as sure as you are standing there tonight. reporter: as president trump continues to push his plan, some politicians in california are orying to put pressure on companies that bid on the job. b what we re saying for businesses is to really think twice before you invest. s reporter: state senator ricardo lara is proposing a law the would essentially blacklist companies participating in the massive construction project. if you want to be part of trump s wall, then you re going against california s values, and we don t want to do business with you. the border wall is a threat ng our values, our vision. reporter: in los angeles. city councilman gil cedillo is proposing a local ordinance that would require all companies doing business with the city to also disclose if they are working on the wall. transparency is based on the right of every angeleno to know how public money is being spent. reporter: in a statement, a california contractor s association says legislation that penalizes contractors for working on a project that s politically unpopular is simply discriminatory and unfair. felipe fuentes is an advocate for the group. don t punish us for the type of work we do. reporter: in the end, it may come down to jobs, says california business owner rick aguilar. he has bid on the wall. if the contract is $300 million, he s got to take 58% of that and give it out to small businesses. reporter: the department of homeland security is planning to pick several contractors to wild prototypes of the wall along the san diego border. tena, those winners are expected to be announced by june 14. ninan: carter evans in los angeles, thanks. r s a rainy and

politics. i just love trump. that s my boy. i m honored to have the heroic crew and passengers of southwest flight 1380. we salute you and every member of this crew. thank you very much. [applause] brian: what city is that? steve: brian, you look at it every morning. brian: i believe it s new york city. steve: it is new york city. we are live. it is a wednesday. it is may the 2nd. thank you very much for joining us. i have got to confess something weird happened at our house last night. i think it started about 1:30. you know when you just hear a chirp about every three or four minutes. ainsley: a bird in your house? steve: smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detect ter it needed a battery. brian: at least it wasn t a leak. steve: i didn t know. i couldn t find any more batteries that fit it. it s like is there carbon monoxide. ains is it one of those rectangular? steve: it was a double a. you are thinking of a 9-volt. i took batteries out of the tv remote. ainsley: reminder to change the battery in your smoke alarm. steve: i should have done it two weeks ago. we have a lot to talk to you about on this wednesday. show down brewing between president trump s lawyers and robert mueller. brian: leaks now show the special counsel is considering a subpoena to get the president to talk if he won t voluntarily. ainsley: that s right. griff jenkins is live in washington to break it all down for us. what s the latest? good morning, guys. if you had any doubt robert robt mueller want to question the president. we now know he is willing to go to make it happening. threatening a subpoena march meeting with trump attorneys according to the president s former lead attorney john dowd who confirmed saying at that meeting this isn t some game. you are screwing with the work of the president of the united states. dowd, who resigned weeks later over this very issue, told our own ed henry last night he isn t the one with all the leaks. but, hey, somebody shear is. fox news obtained a list of those questions mueller reportedly s to ask the president. 52 questions in all. topics ranging from michael flynn to fbi director james comey to jeff sessions and donald trump s meeting at trump tower. the president blasting the leaked questions over twitter saying so disgraceful that the questions concerning the russian witch-hunt were leaked to the media. no questions on collusion. oh, i see, you have made up a phony crime, collusion that never existed and an investigation begun with illegally leaked classified information. nice. well, former secret service agent dan bongino was on hand last night hammering this thing saying it s all about trapping the president. do you see the danger in this. yes. they are not investigating a crime here. they are investigating donald trump. there s a difference. you know, when you do i was a former federal agent. when you investigate a crime and find people. you don t find people and then go find a crime. and the white house, guys, say they are not the ones leaking. perhaps we will find out more in the coming days. brian: thanks, griff and good luck with that shoulder healing. ainsley: he knocked it out of place this weekend. brian: but the other two anchors were not hurt. steve: we do know the document was provided to the times by a person outside of trump s legal team and we do know that the questions were a list compiled by the president s lawyers during talks with mr. mueller. so it does look as if somebody on team trump did that because ultimately, i think what they were trying to paint yesterday between the leak and also the tweet by the president was it s hard to obstruct justice if there was no crime ever committed in the beginning. and that s what it says in his tweet. ainsley: so no collusion. no evidence of collusion so far. so why are they investigating him? maybe he was interfering? steve: obstructing justice. ainsley: interfering with the investigation that s what mueller might think? brian: possibly. what did you tell mike flynn about setting up a back channel. james comey, why did you fire him. jeff sessions why did you pressure him? and then you have donald trump jr. what did you know about that meeting? by the way donald trump jr. they have not talked to him yet. they have not talked to ivanka yet. what are they waiting for. march 5th meeting. jay sekulow took notes on it these aren t necessarily what robert mueller come up with. these are the questions as the legal team jotted them down as they left, types them up and got them out. i cannot figure out exactly why it benefits the trump team to have these questions out in the public. because it s out there. we could answer these questions because we have within study all of them. some of the things compounded for example, did you know about paul map for the contacting the russian government? did you know that? no. we never even heard that. steve: result ultimately when you look at those, whoever leaked those poisoned the well. it would be hard for the president to sit down and answer those questions former white water independent counsel lays out t. out really well. listen to. this goes into the heart of executive decision-making. but it also shows something else. these questions show a couple of things. the mueller people are outraged and lived at the president s criticisms of them and they have a very dangerously broad view of obstruction of justice. ainsley: several things come to mind if you get the list of questions before. if you get the 49 questions the president would know how to answer them. is he able to plead the ones he wants to answer and plead the 50 o fifth? steve: he could but it would look bad pleading the fifth. brian: robert mueller has gotten four people for lying to him. four people. if you look at some of these questions. and unless you have this photographic memory, you can t possibly remember. especially the way president trump s campaign was. it was seat of your pants. you are fired. you are hired. you are out, you are in. for example who knew what paul manafort was doing. why was he there? it wasn t because he wanted a russian leak. tom barack and said your campaign is a mess. take this guy paul manafort he would work for free which is a price the president loved. ainsley: if there is no collusion. dan bongino, i love that sound bite because it sounds like in all my years of being a federal investigator if there was a crime, we would track it back to someone. in this case it looks like there is someone and we are trying to track him to a crime. steve: they are fishing. and that s what rush limbaugh said. he said he should do it only if he gets the hillary deal. if trump could secure the same identical circumstances that were granted to hillary clinton, then why not sit down for the interview and answer the questions? but, of course, i speak facetiously because everybody knows donald trump is not going to get the hillary clinton treatment extended by james comey. brian: have your attorneys get immunity. have them sit in with you. it s not going to be taped. it s not going to be robert mueller. on saturday a big chip on your shoulder and have you already made up your verdict your mind before you went in there. steve: so, stay tuned. let s see what happens. over the weekend, kanye west sat down with candace owens and some members of the political right in the country and they talked about all sorts of things. he also went on tmz and he told people why he likes donald trump. ainsley: he says i m not political but i do love this guy. he was wearing the make america great again hat over the weekend. this is what he said on tmz. it was a feeling i had like people were taught how to think. we re taught how to feel. we don t know how to think for ourselves. we don t know how to feel for ourselves. they say feel free. they don t want us to fee free. feeling a freedom and feeling something that everybody tells you not to do. i just love trump. that s my boy. brian: he says if you really want politics. john legend knows politics: then he tweeted out about freedom and about slavery. he said, you know, came out and says slavery was a choice and then he went ahead and clarified on twitter because it caused outrage obviously with that statement. he said to think about 400 years ago and be in that mind set today is a choice. get out of that mind set and think about now. that was a lot of the controversy. steve: he also, kanye did, said that donald trump is one of rap people s favorite guy. he said trump is one of rap s favorite people. there is a class war happening right now. class war is one of the reasons why trump won. obama was so high class that stopped talking to the middle and lower class. that s one of the reasons he likes the guy who is currently president. ainsley: lives in hollywood. getting a lot of back bash fro backlashfrom the hollywot there. for him speaking up, good for him, tripling down. this is the third or fourth time he said he loves him. brian: causing aneurysm on every kardashian from here to owe bolivia yen. steve: jill joins us on this wednesday. jillian: this is going to be a thing now. steve: got a new name. jillian: so many viewers tweeting me yesterday i m going to call you jill now. good morning to you guys and good morning to you at home. get you caught up on some of the news we are following here. we now know the u.s. soldier gunned down on afghanistan on monday was part of the pentagon s counter terrorism mission. army specialist gabriel khan killed outside of deployment. his family said he defined the word bravery. he was called to be a warrior. i feel very proud of who he is. he s the kind of son that any mother would be proud to have. jillian: this marks the second combat death in afghanistan this year. a russian fighter jet buzzes a spy plane over say. the russian jet performed a safe but unprofessional move coming within about 20 feet of the u.s. navy aircraft. american pilots say they never felt threatened. a russian jet came within five feet of a navy spy plane. fox news hosting the republican senate primary debate in west virginia. state attorney general patrick morici, congressman evan jenkins and blankenship battling over who is more aligned with president trump. conservatives don t go out and take campaign contributions from planned parenthood. who is going to lead the senate to support the president trump agenda. i m the only candidate on the stage who not only has voted for donald trump at the convention and in the electoral college. the three republicans are vying to unseat democrat joe marchen in november. evan jenkins will join us live in the next hour. president trump honoring the heroic crew of the deadly southwest flight at the white house. paying special district to captain tamm tammie jo shults te former navy pilot who made that landing. commander schultz i want to commend you for life-saving actions. everybody is talking about it they are still talking about it. they will be talking about it for a long time. the actions of the crew and passengers of flight 1380 show the great character of our nation. we re very, very proud of them, and god bless you all. jillian: the president also honoring jennifer riordan the mother of two who lost her life after nearly being sucked out of a window when an engine exploded. those are your headlines back to you. steve: a busy day in washington. brian: there were three key members of the obama administration and our next guest says they are doing putin s dirty work. really? dr. sebastian gorka on how they are helping russia undeunderunder mine us. never take your eye off the ball. what are you doing? you said keep my eye on the ball. instant purchase notifications from capital one . technology this helpful. could make history. what s in your wallet? let s do an ad of a man eating free waffles at comfort inn. they taste like victory because he always gets the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed, when he books direct at choicehotels.com. or just say badda book, badda boom. book now at choicehotels.com. or just say badda book, badda boom. a peaceful night sleep without only imagine. frequent heartburn waking him up. now that dream is a reality. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? didn t have any contact with me until after i left the government on the 20th of january. i don t quite understand at least what i have read that somehow i leaked about the dossier. let me guess so you didn t leak anything about the dossier to any media? no. brian: oh, yeah. i don t believe him. do you? house intel report accusing the former white house director james clapper lying to the media. he is not the only one undermine our system if indirectly, directly. former assistant to president trump dr. sebastian gorka with us right now. dr. gorka, how were they helping putin. putin had a very clear objective to undermine america s faith in its own election and its own electoral system. that s exactly what clapper, comey and brennan did. we now know that clip you just played of clapper. that was a lie. clapper admits that he spoke to cnn. we know that cnn had the dossier. but they needed a so-called to hang it on. what did he do? dni clapper told james comey to brief the dossier to the president. after that happened, clapper told jake tapper at cnn, oh, it s briefed and then cnn had their peg to hang it on. so a dossier that was built on russian propaganda, we now know that, became a news item thanks to clapper leaking. and then what happened? after he leaves government, he gets a juicy contract with cnn. this is bogus. brian: couple of things, what you just said dr. sebastian goo gorka coming up. we are going to leave the room you brief him one-on-one. number two it s important he said to jake at that pointner january this the deal. the question is did it happen after the inauguration few days in january he was president-elect and not president. that s splitting hairs. and clapper has a record of not telling the truth. he has already been caught lying and he obviously is not a good liar. only time he perks up when he seems to be caught in a lie. besides that every time he talks it s like we woke him up in the middle of the night. real quick, john brennan s tweets. his tweets are inflammatory. maybe vladimir putin has something on this president. this guy is a cia director. he is not some pundit from a third rate cable show. this is shocking. never in american history has a former civil servant of his ranking done what he just did. because he says i don t know but i think he could be being blackmailed. well, everybody out there who doesn t know the details now potentially thinks the president might be being blackmailed. is he serving putin s interest. don t forget, brian, this individual, john brennan in 1976, admitted to voting for the communist party candidate for president before he gets hired by the cia. i guess old habits die hard, don t they, mr. brennan? brian: something that president trump is doing has rattled him to his core. maybe we will find out. dr. gorka, always great to he so you. thank you, brian. all the best. brian: straight ahead on this time we have remaining on this show which is a lot. should illegals be able to hold government jobs? sounds like an easy question. one california lawmaker says yeah, a good idea. tomi lahren not for that. she is from los angeles. she will speak. one could become the first female amputee t to do it. they join us with their inspiring story next. i feel a great deal of urgency. i think, keep going, and make a difference. at some point, we are going to be able to beat als. because life is amazing. so i am hoping for a cure. i want this, to uh, to be a reality. um, yeah. termites, we re on the move.24/7. roger. hey rick, all good?

[laughter] yeah. it s its own separate kind of nerves. it s incredible being tied up with this gal literally on a mountainside because it takes three kinds of stamina. one of them is mental. we got that we have both been tried and we both have determination. ainsley: when is it, and how can we help? we step off on june 1st. that s when we get up to the glacier and make our assent. check us out. and building homes for heroes.org. looking to gift a home to the veteran and their family completely free once every 11 days this year. and, yeah. we are just really stoked to be a part of this. ainsley: down at ground zero and lost so many people on 9/11 and said i want to do something to give back to this country and the organization has taken off. one home every 11 days? that s incredible. building homes for heroes. check it out on their website. thank you so much, ladies. you are welcome. ainsley: god bless you for serving. remember when ambassador haley said this? it is outrageous to see so many countries who we support go against us at the u.n. we are watching their votes and, yes, we are taking names. ainsley: she really was taking names. this morning we have the list. plus, you re not going to like this one. facebook adding a button to every post asking if it s hate speech. just how dangerous could that get? tomi lahren launched her career on facebook and she is next. nascar driver kyle busch is 33 years old today. it s his jesus year. 33. shrimp fans - this one s for you. it s red lobster s new create your own shrimp trios. pick 3 of 9 craveable creations for just $15.99. you can enjoy the classics you love, along with new creations like savory crab-topped shrimp, decadent parmesan truffle shrimp scampi, and creamy shrimp and lobster pasta. your perfect shrimp plate is just waiting to be discovered. but shrimp trios won t last, so get to red lobster today. and get your red lobster fix with our weekday lunch starting at $7.99. same thing with any dent or dings on this truck. they all got a story about what happened to em. man 2: it was raining, there was only one way out. i could feel the barb wire was just digging into the paint. man: two bulls were fighting, (thud) bam hit the truck. try explaining that to your insurance company. woman: another ding, another scratch. it ll just be another chapter in the story. every scar tells a story, and you can tell a lot more stories when your truck is a chevy silverado. the most dependable, longest-lasting, full-size pickups on the road. my secret visitors. hallucinations and delusions. the unknown parts of living with parkinson s. what plots they unfold, but only in my mind. over 50% of people with parkinson s will experience hallucinations or delusions during the course of their disease. if your loved one is experiencing these symptoms, talk to your parkinson s specialist. there are treatment options that can help. my visitors should be the ones i want to see. and i gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today because there ain t no doubt i love this land steve: and we love this. it s our shot of the morning. this american flag flown in honor of fox & friends over the headquarters of camp burig scorpio base in aquatic. ainsley: a proud reminder of our service members commitment to defending freedom. brian: always great to find out when so many write us and say oh, we only have fox on whether it s in the tent or in the middle of a war zone or in kuwait where basically ainsley: what do we hear when we come out in the public all the time thank you so much to fox & friends and fox remembering our soldiers fighting for our country. steve: thank you for thinking of us. ainsley: if you are fighting for our country, thank you and we love you and so proud of you. brian: we know it s getting dangerous especially in afghanistan where we took more casualties and the 2,000 troops on that syrian border. you talk about patriotic. tomi lahren defines that. and let s bring her in now from los angeles. welcome back, tomi. ainsley: hey, tomi. hi, guys. thank you. it s a compliment. i will take it. steve: you bet. we know you got started on facebook. well, now facebook has they say it was a mistake, but everything that was posted suddenly down at the bottom there was a question where do you think whatever you just read was hate speech? and if it was you clicked on it and apparently they were trying to figure out what to do about all the complaints about it s just a wild west these days on facebook. right. they were saying, facebook said that they were trying to, quote: learn something s not right. more like they are trying to learn something is not left. because as we know, mark zuckerberg himself could not define hate speech. if mark zuckerberg could not define hate speech. how are others defining hate speech? how are the users on facebook defining hate speech? we know how that goes. hate speech is defined as anything comes from a conservative page, a trump supporter and the like. steve: ultimately, won t this shut down more people on the political right then? i hope not. i think that facebook says they are taking steps to change that. but, again, i will believe it when i see it. they have done this before. if you remember just a couple years back they had a big summit at facebook. they invited a lot of conservative thought leaders in to discuss the problem. and nothing changed. in fact, it got worse. so, i m not holding my breath for any changes. brian: i also understand that facebook is going to be ranking news on its accuracy. really? that s interesting. who are they to decide what s accurate or not on a news basis that changes every 90 seconds? they will say i don t think that story is right. let s drop it. i mean, i can t believe they even want that responsibility. well, of course they want that responsibility but i would be curious to know how fox news rates on that how my page rates on their scale. again, they say that they are trying to make things better for conservatives, for conservative pages are for those right of center. all the features that they are rolling out seem to contradict that almost entirely. ainsley: what s your reaction to this? this is happening in your state. there is a state senator. his name is ricardo lara. introduced legislation that s allowing illegal immigrants to serve on state and local boards and commissions. i will tell you this: the more the california representatives move to the left on this issue, the more fed up californians are becoming. you guys know. this i say it every time i m on. there are sane people in the golden state that are tired of this. so the more that they move to coddle illegal immigrants, the more fed up californians are getting and i think we are actually going to see a change. i actually encourage them go to the far left as you want to the american people are going to speak up. i will say this, if he is listening, which he probably isn t but we will take a shot in the dark here. holding office, elected office, serving on a board, serving on a commission, that is a privilege afforded to citizens. that is not a privilege or a right afforded to people that didn t respect this country enough to follow the rule of law to get here, period. steve: well, it s just a slippery slope what s happening out there. you are absolutely right. there seem to be a lot of people who aren t crazy about the direction the state is going but what are you going to do? move? we re going to vote. we re going to vote. and we re going to make sure our voices are heard. i m telling you there is going to be a resurgence of logical thought, conservative thought in the state of california. might not be as soon as we would like it, but i m telling you now, it is changing. it s changing for the better. give us a little time. we will right the ship. brian: we re still wondering what s happening down south with the caravan. about 17 people have gotten in. they are still straddling that fence. we will see how the people of california feel about that. that s controversy that s not going away. tomi, thanks so much. ainsley: thanks, tomi. jillian is over here. she has headlines for us. jillian: good morning. lieutenant colonel sent a flag and sent me one as well. i wanted to give him another thank you. i know it means a lot to you guys and means a lot to me as well. do you remember what u.n. ambassador nikki haley issued this warning? it is outrageous to see so many countries who we support go against us at the u.n. we re watching their votes, and, yes, we are taking names. ainsley: a new state department report giving her those names, revealing u.n. member states only voted with the u.s. 31% of the time last year. in a statement haley says, quote: this is not an acceptable return on our investment. american taxpayers pay for 22% of the u.n. budget. after widespread backlash a school is backing down on their decision to get students to cover up at prom. catholic school in michigan accused of body shaming for the so-called modesty ponchos. they plan to give them out at the dance to anyone wearing inappropriate dance. a method of shaming. a method of bullying. a meth of degrading. degrading the female. jillian: the school says it never intended to make students feel uncomfortable. they will have shaws for shar anyone violating the dress code. jillian: accused crook held up several businesses while wearing a surgical mask some say for weeks. he couldn t fool his mom. long island after his 88-year-old mother recognized him on the news. known as the cookie man, roundtree faces several robbery charges. look at this. little kids don t usually follow directions to a tee. why did this mini golfer take his mom s advice very literally. remember to keep your eye on the ball, knock all right. go. what are you doing? you said keep my eye on the ball. [laughter] jillian: is he my favorite person in the entire world. that s noel learning to play golf in scotland. adorable lesson as you can see why is going viral. so cute. brian: i do wish he had a bigger yard. jillian: maybe is he learning chip shots. jillian: mom is standing right in front of him. steve: i have feeling he does that every time she says that. brian: lawn so beautiful like the brady bunch lawn which was turf. looks like turf. ainsley: janice is a mom. i see video of kids go on and watch videos of my child. it s so great. brian: do you like watching videos of ainsley s child? janice: i do. moms love that kind of stuff. so, listen, some severe weather we have to talk about because we had over close to two dozen tornadoes yesterday across the plain stating and today another day of severe weather including tornadoes, damaging, dangerous, large tornadoes. so we want to make sure everyone is prepared. know what to do if there is a watch or warning in your area. this is the time of year. and this could be one of the worst outbreaks we have seen this season. but maybe in the last couple of years. there is the future radar. all of the ingredients are together for a severe weather outbreak including tornadoes. not a lot of time that you see the moderate risk but it s out there for parts of the plain states but really the severe threat extends from texas to the great lakes through the overnight and into tomorrow. so a three day severe weather outbreak. people need to be prepared. on the nice side of this system, going to be 86 degrees here in new york city. [applause] janice: oh my gosh a round of applause. i want to thank my mom and my grandma. [cheers] steve: going to be who so hot today people will start complaining. janice: no you won t. no you won t complain. brian: will you tell us who complained about the weather last week? janice: no. you can t complain about that. steve: it s fantastic. ainsley: you need to find that person in the hallway today, janice. janice: and see how are they doing? how are you doing? brian: remember that professor who slammed barbara bush after her death and kept her job soon getting a chance to sound off. one of them will join us live. steve: parents want their kids to learn about business but a study says they don t know how to teach them. anthony neil has some solutions. you have a plan. ainsley: i like the pink, anthony. we re on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it s time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that s it. so rich. i love it. that s why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you re describing the coffee and not me? and you look amazingly you lcomfortable. when your v-neck looks more like a u-neck. that s when you know, it s half-washed. add downy to keep your collars from stretching. downy and it s done. a trip back to the dthe doctor s office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home, with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you re allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you d rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. steve: recent study finds 75% want their kids to learn prunt skills but only 25% feel confident they can teach them. a money expert anthony kneel our friend with ramsey solutions and author joins us with more on the teen entrepreneur tool book. it s fantastic. i never pick this stuff up but have you got everything in here to show a kid how to be an entrepreneur. yeah, steve and good morning to you. but you said it right. 75% of parents do not know how to help their students start a young business. and we are also seeing that 45%. nearly 50% of students want to start their own business. we said, hey, why not come up with a toolbox that will help parents empower their kids to start their own business. steve: i like the way did you go through the stages right down to after they get the job interview. gratitude. there is nothing like being grateful and telling a customer thank you so much for the opportunity to serve you. steve: have you such an interesting story. you know what you are talking about. when you were 19 years old, you come from good family but you wound up living out of a car. yeah. $25,000 in debts before i turned 19 years old. homeless, sleeping in the back of my car. not because of my parents. not because of my friends but because of the lack of decisions i made. the poor decisions i made at a young age. traveling around the country and going into high schools and middle schools and colleges and talking to people about my story and helping them get into a brighter future is my passion. steve: let s talk about people watching right now. help them find their idea. in the teen entrepreneur toolbox we are teaching parents how to help their students, their kids be passionate about their own business idea. this idea cannot be the parent s. it has to be theirs. because when they are passionate about it. they will wake up at 6:00 a.m. in the morning and cut that grass you won t have to nudge them hey get up and do it. they are excited and passionate about it. steve: it s not all about the money, is it. it can t be. it has to be how are serving, about the people. once you can focus on the people and set small equal equa. i m going to have 10 customers and have fliers out in the community in my neighborhood. small goals get you to the big goals paying for prom or college debt-free. steve: everybody has a goal but doesn t always work out. let them fail if they do but just don t quit. let them fail. don t quit. failure to me is a pathway to success. and because it s going to teach me what not to do the next time. so if a customer says no. i don t want your product today. i don t want your services today. that s okay. learn from maybe what you did and move forward. the key thing here is do not quit. quitters never succeed. but failing you can still succeed. steve: so true. go to anthony neil.com or dave ramsey.com. we are all over. steve: thank you. remember that college professor who slammed barbara bush after her death and keeping her job. students at school are getting a chance to sound off about her. one of them is going to join us live next. plus, say goodbye to policemen and firemen. new york making the job gender neutral i m back back in the new york grove i m back back in the new york grove in the groove. [cougar growling] (passenger) what are you doing? (driver) i can t believe that worked. i dropped the keys. (burke) and we covered it. talk to farmers, we know a thing or two because we ve seen a thing or two. we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum steve: professor under fire. remember when randy gentleman war at fresno state university called the late barbara bush an amazing racist and said i m happy the witch is dead. ainsley: well now the university is giving student and staff a chance to sound off about it even though right now the school is not disciplining her. joining us now is a student at california state university at fresno and campus reform.org correspondent nic matoya. thanks for being with us. good morning. thanks for having me. ainsley: what were your thoughts about those comments she made. while i absolutely disagree with what the professor said, she does have the right to free speech. and that s one of the things that we, as campus reform want to promote. free speech on college campuses. whether it be liberals or conservatives, we do have the right to say what we believe in. steve: right. and right to stand up for what we want to fight for. steve: nick, you say right to free speech are universal in this country. correct. steve: but she crossed the line when she tweeted out a phone number and said it was hey, this is my phone number. when, in fact, it was a suicide hotline number at arizona state university. when she tweeted that phone number to be hers she inundated phone line from getting the help they needed. that s why i believe she should be terminated. tweeting a known number that could have prevented someone from getting the help they desperately needed. brian: tell me about this forum. what role do you think you will play in it. the hope for the forum today is we will hear from the university president and our campus administration about the reasoning behind the decision not to terminate rhonda jarar from fresno state. i want to hear how our campus administration plans to prevent this type of thing from happening again. we have had instances where this has happened at fresno state before and again nothing has happened to these professors. so what i hope to see is a plan to show that this will not happen again and the plan to promote free speech on campus both for conservatives and liberals. steve: don t you do you think there is a double standard though? i mean, had she somebody on your campus in a position on the faculty had made those comments about somebody from a famous democrat family, do you think they would still be working there? absolutely not. i think that any one of the comments that she made about barbara bush were made about hillary clinton or michelle obama. they would have immediately been terminated from their position. there absolutely is a double standard within college campuses. there is a trend going on within campus reform where we are seeing, you know, college students being taunted by their liberal professors and being slammed for their views. brian: real quick: are there any democrats upset about this or we are just going to ignore it because barbara bush was from a republican family. there are democrats that i have talked to that are upset about this. they believe that the work that she has done in promoting literacy with children and adults alike is something to be respected. and while they may not like her politics, they do respect her as a person. so there definitely are democrats who are outraged at her comments. brian: embarrassing for fresno state. ainsley: thank you, nick. let us know how it goes that forum is tomorrow: a teenager sparking big debate over her prom dress. some people are calling it racist. that teenager is here to respond to the critics. brian: nancy pelosi just made her boldest prediction yet about the mid terms. are predictions are always exciting. i think she wins in the end hey, you, get off of my cloud brian: wreaks now show the special counsel is considering a subpoena to get the president to talk if he won t voluntarily. do you see the danger in this? they are not investigating a crime here. they are investigating donald trump. several house republicans, they have drafted articles of impeachment against rosenstein. the department of justice is not going to be extorted. we are going to do what s required by the rule of law. nancy pelosi making a bold prediction for the november midterm saying we will win, i will run for speaker, i feel confident about it and my members do too. brian: john brennan says maybe vladimir putin has something on this president. never in history has a former civil servant of his ranking done what he just did. is he serving putin s interest. steve: this american flag flown in honor of fox & friends over the headquarters of camp buehrig base in kuwait. ainsley: proud reminder of our sacrifice in defending our freedom. it s winning wednesday on fox & friends. ainsley: going to be a beautiful day here in no. i hope it is where you are as well. brian: right. again, we have chosen to do the show indoors where the temperature has been preordained. steve: always 72 and sunshiny here at fox & friends. all right. meanwhile. ainsley: in other news, a show down is brewing between president trump s lawyers and robert mueller. steve: leaks now show the special counsel is considering a subpoena to get the president to talk. brian: wow. so this is going down to the wire. could end up in the supreme court. griff jenkins is live in washington to break it down or at least we asked him to. he might refuse one of the these times. we could toss it to him and he might toss back. do you accept our toss. absolutely accepted. we now know special counsel mueller has threatened the president with a grand jury subpoena to force him to answer questions back in a meeting that happened in march this according to the president s former lead attorney john dowd who confirmed saying at the meeting this isn t some game. you re screwing with the work of the president of the united states. dowd, who resigned weeks later over the issue of the president possibly testifying told our own ed henry last night he is not the one leaking all of this, but someone is as fox news obtains that list of 52 questions, mueller wants to ask the president, including his interactions with michael flynn, james comey, jeff sessions, and his own son donald trump jr. the president, not surprisingly, is firing back blasting those questions. tweeting so disgraceful that the questions concerning the russia witch hunt were leaked to the media. no questions on collusion. oh, i see. you have a made-up phony crime collusion that never existed and an investigation begun with illegally leaked classified information. nice. the white house is denying any role in the leaks, guys. as critics of the rickenbacker probe are saying these questions are further proof that mueller is trying to set a trap for the president rather than investigating an actual crime. steve: good point. all right, mr. griff, thank you very much for the live report from our nation s capital. brian: question is how did it get out? i think it matters how to get out. it looks as though the story is john dowd and jay sekulow were possibly in the meeting with ty cobb but it was jay sekulow who wrote down the questions as he was listening, which accounts for some of the misspellings that are in there. comes out to about 48 or 52 questions. none of which are surprising except for some come pound questions like did you know paul manafort was dealing with russia basically did you ask him to? we didn t really know about that. but, it doesn t mean just because we understand where they re coming from, doesn t mean they are not challenging for the president to remember exactly what took place and who did it. steve: sure, but, look, by putting out all those questions and, of course, of the way he answers every question, then there is a question tree. if he says yes. you go to this question. if he says no, you go to this question. it could take two days of testimony. 12 hours in all. nonetheless, i think somebody from team trump, you know, leaked this out. just to show that mr. mueller is out to get him. there s a trap. don t do it. and the president doesn t have to. brian: i just don t get that message. it doesn t look like it looks like. steve: it s a trap. brian: almost every lawyer looks at this and says if he is my client, he doesn t sit down for this. ainsley: right. brian: too much chance for perjury. i don t know who it benefits to get these questions out. ainsley: i doubt he will sit down. if he is forced, to he could prepare it in advance and go over with his attorneys and maybe plead the fifth if he doesn t want to answer the questions which he could look guilty if he does that dan bopg, he was on with sean hannity last night. he had an excellent point. there hasn t been any proof of collusion it looks like they are just going after our president. they are going after donald trump because they just don t like him. listen to this. do you see the danger in this? yeah. they are not investigating a rhyme here. they are investigating donald trump. there s a difference. you know, when you do i was a former federal agent. what do you is investigate a crime and find people. you don t find people and then go find a crime. brian: mccarthy a fine prosecuting attorney here writes for national review says these questions are for saps and would only lead to another sitdown. trump s problem is poor judgment not crimes. steve: by putting all these out into the public domain, now everybody is looking man, mueller is just out to get trump. he would be crazy to sit down with him and so that sets up the president saying, look, you have seen the questions. i m not going to sit down. brian: i don t know if you jump to that conclusion. it looks like everybody we have talked about. four people have been charged with perjury. steve: you think the mueller team leaked it. brian: i m saying i don t know the benefit if the trump team strategy was to leak this to the new york times, i don t understand the benefit. because the questions aren t don t seem necessarily out of left field. they seem thorough and comprehensive and a bunch of traps. ainsley: new york times says they were read by special counsel investigators. these questions to the president s lawyers who compiled them into a list and provided to the times by a person outside the president s legal team. but then have you republicans that are saying it was leaked by the special counsel s office by robert mueller s office. we don t know. steve: nobody knows except the reporter at the new york times. nonetheless, when you look at all of the questions, and you are going wait, it looks like they are trying to prove obstruction of justice. so it s hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened. and that is where were all the questions about russia? brian: but there is some collusion questions in there. the preponderance collusion is not right. steve: we have victoria toensing going to join news an hour. she is an expert at this. she says the president doesn t have to do any of this because of article 2 of the constitution. brian: go to the courts and have this for another year as it goes possibly to the supreme court. sebastian gorka wrote a column about this and just to join us earlier. he said this whole thing is about three people in the obama administration who have combined to tangentially collude with russia to take this president down. is he talking about clapper. he s talking about brennan. and he is talking about comey. especially in the case of james clapper. this guy has already been caught lying. not telling the truth when he says there has been no he has not leaked any information about the dossier to the media. turns out he corrected himself. he did. listen. clapper admits that he spoke to cnn. we know that cnn had the dossier. but they needed a so-called news hook to hang it on. what did he do? dni clapper told clap tore brief the dossier to the president. tapper told jake tapper it s briefed and they had their hook to hang it on. dossier built on russia propaganda, we now know that, became anus item thanks to clapper leaking. this is bogus. brian: we re talking about this. we are talking about the fact that he says it s briefed. you can run with the story. remember, james clapper in james comey s book has been confirmed elsewhere. push james comey to tell the president in trump tower about the dossier. because he told james comby the press has it looking for a news hook. don t want the president to be surprised by it perhaps the press had it because he leaked it. guess who had it? cnn. guess where he went afterwards cnn as a contributor where he back tracked on the story a couple times. he gave it to jake tapper and says maybe other members of the media. steve: keep in mind this weekend cnn won a big award at the white house correspondent s association dinner for that story. ainsley: of course they did. nancy pelosi in an interview says she is here to stay this master negotiator as you remember. she is saying she is going to be the house minority leader and the democrats are going to win in november. steve: here is a quote from the boston globe yesterday. we will win. win back the house. i will run for speaker. i feel confident about it. and my members do, too. ainsley: she already is the house minority leader. i meant to say she wants to be speaker again and she is determined she will be. same old same old. brian: others say congressman crowley of new york. hardly a unifying spirit. anyway, we will see about that. a lot of her predictions don t come true and a lot of the things she says don t pan out. ainsley: not crumbs? steve: that s right. you got to figure that there are a number of republicans who are going to put those comments into a great big ad and say do you want nancy pelosi to be the speaker of the house again? with her old ideas and whatnot? ainsley: look at that. brian: i saw congressman tim ryan at the white house correspondent dinner. they don t speak. he got closer than anyone else fearless running against her and the money machine she is. steve: that s the peril if you speak out against somebody very powerful in leadership they don t help you with cash for your re-election and you wind up on no committees. ainsley: she is known for being able to fund raise. brian to two things can save the house for republicans impeachment and nancy pelosi. those are two things saying bring it on. keep talking about that. that will scare the american public. ainsley: let us know what you think. meantime hand it over to jillian who has headlines. good morning to you. get you caught up on headlines we are following. starting with. this u.s. soldier gunned down on monday. part of the pentagon s counter terrorism mission. 22-year-old army specialist gabriel khan killed outside kabul on first deployment. his family says he defined the word bravery. i m very proud of who he is. he is the kind of son any mother would be proud to have. jillian: this marks the second u.s. combat death in afghanistan this year. a convicted terrorist who called college students on a so-called jihad will spend the rest of his life behind bars. mohammed brown sentence in the shooting death of 19-year-old brendan kev lynn. brown apologized to kev lynn s family but says he doesn t regret anything. we are so grateful this monster will be locked up forever with no chance of pick and roll. he doesn t deserve to seat light of day ever again. jillian: brown murdered tevlin as he sat at traffic light in new jersey. he also admits to killing three other people. thousands of students across the country planning to walk out of school today in support of the second amendment. the stand for the second walkout created by a high school student who wants to give pro-gun students a voice. about 300 students in 42 states will participate in the 16 minute demonstration. the movement comes after staged the pro-at the time gun violence in the wake of the parkland school shooting. a pair of bald eagles at the national are a enter retum are n d.c. eagle cam. brother or sister d.c. 7 is expected to hatch some time this week. stuff like that you can t get enough to watching. ainsley: is he cute. steve: they can do a better job with the names d.c. 6. d.c. 6 clean up four nest. ainsley: eaglet. we had live caterpillars in my apartment. good teaching school. hayden will love that turned into butterflies took them to the park and released them. can you buy them on amazon. do you want me to buy you a caterpillar for christmas?

do they just go through the entry and they sign some papers and, boom, they are loose somewhere in the united states or are you hanging on to them? it s actually not that straightforward. there is significant interview process. there is a sworn statement. there s a time frame before they can see an asylum officer. steve: okay. all these procedures have to be set up and happen at the port of entry. then our partners have to find space for them in their detention cells whether it s single adults or family units. transportation issues. a whole lot of things that have to happen for each case. steve: sure. we are looking at some of the images of people along the border the southern border. for those 11 who jumped the fence, they were grabbed by the your folks and now what s going to happen to them?

we were not mocking chinese culture. in fact, we were referring to a famous youtubeer from h 3 h 3 productions. ainsley: i want to read some of these tweets that you got because you wore that dress. one person says what s the theme of your life? ignorant? and then another person writes: this isn t okay. i wouldn t wear traditional korean, japanese or any other traditional dress and i m asian. i wouldn t wear swedish, greek either there is a lot of history behind these clothes, sad. what s your response. i feel there is a difference between wearing something with a different intent because i personally i wore the dress because i really respect the culture and i believe it is very beautiful and i wanted to show my respect and love by wearing one of their clothes in admiration of them. ainsley: if you could do it all over again, would you wear the same dress. yes. i would definitely wear it again. ainsley: you are one tough cookie. a lot of teenagers your age wouldn t be able to handle all of this criticism. how do you handle that? i just tell myself that there is going to be people who aren t always going to be pleased. i have learned to accept that in that i know what i have done and the reason why. and that s what i tell myself. ainsley: what s the lesson here? what have you learned. my lesson, i have learned, is it s important to see things from other people s shoes and being able to understand other people s opinions and awareness is a big thing. ainsley: well, ben shapiro, i don i don t know if you know o he is. he is an activist, republican. he has gotten backlash from berkeley. he says way to go. proud of you for defending yourself. what about your pins pal your school what are they saying? my principal has been very kind to me and pulled me out of class on monday. and he told me how he is on my side and he is proud that i m standing my ground and i felt very supported there along with my peers at school. ainsley: what about this p.c. culture we are in. i m sure there are a lot of people who complimented you on your dress and said it was perfect. you said your friends did when you were taking pictures. what does it say about us as a society and where we are headed as a country? i feel our society is growing a lot and being able to accept other cultures and show your appreciation and i feel that if we are able to do these things, whether it s wearing a dress or supporting them verbally, we can maybe even end racism. ainsley: all right. keziah daum thank you for being with us. thank you. ainsley: environmentalists want to put president trump on ice literally. details on this crazy new. franklin graham is here to share some stories coming up next. with expedia you could book a flight, hotel, car and activity all in one place. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. look how beautiful it is. honey, we need to talk. we do?

golf? he loved golf. he played golf up until the 1980. and then he just stopped. he felt it took too much time and he felt guilty but he loved to play golf. he was out there giving all of his children a golf lesson. ainsley: look how cute he is. i understand we have a picture of you with your daughter in 1988. look how precious that is. and she she was daddy must have been asking her questions. i don t know. she must have been answering it. ainsley: what was he like with the children, with your children? very patient. loved children. my father, again, what you saw on television was the same we saw at home. he was a kind, gentle person. a very he would listen. and a lot of people don t listen today. steve: nobody knew him like you did. and you re going to read a little passage. yeah. and this is just an excerpt. even though i dreaded the day of my father would no longer be just a short journey away, i wanted to end the book with his journey to heaven. because this was his greatest longing to finally see life through the eyes of his father in heaven. steve: franklin, that is beautiful. do you think so elm few people think about the end of their life as you said at the beginning of this interview afraid. they don t want to think about it because they don t want to die? we are all afraid. we are getting closer and closer to that moment. the bible says there is an appointed time of death for all of us. and then after that the judgment. god is we re going to stand before god and give an account. there is a judgment. but that s why christ came. he took our sins. because none of us can stand before god as sinners. but he took our sins and he died on the cross. he was buried and he rose again. is i coming back. brian: pope made some news and walking it back to a degree that there is no hell. does franklin graham think there is a hell? jesus preached on hell. he taught about hell. so there is a hell. because jesus taught about hell. ainsley: your book, on shelves yesterday. yes. ainsley: it s called through my father s eyes. we learned so much about life and how to be a better person or better person because of your dad and your family. thank you for everything. we want to be saved. and our father taught us how to be saved, saved from hell. ainsley: he had a simple message. god loves you. he did. brian: director never has a simple message. toss to jillian. ainsley: now. jillian: sometimes that toss is very complicated. jillian: good morning to you guys. get you caught up on news we are following. manhunt intensifying for a registered sex offender led police on hours long chase in an rv with his kids inside. the driver was allegedly fighting with his wife earlier in the day and took off in california. he eventually ditched the camper, leaving behind his young children. both under 3 years old. sea parole ye and believed to be armed and dangerous. one state is getting rid of the policeman and fireman, the new york state assembly a bill replace those terms with the gender neutral job terms of firefighter and police officer. liberal lawmakers say it s a show of respect. the now heads to andrew cuomo s desk. environmentalists want to prove to president trump global warming is true. carve the president s face into artic glacier. they want a live stream video of the 115-foot sculpture to show how quickly it melts. president trump has called global warm ago hoax. he has joked about being added to mount rushmore. what do you guys think of that one?

[whistling] hello. give me an hour in tanning room 3. cheers! that s confident. but it s not kayak confident. kayak searches hundreds of travel sites to help me plan the best trip. so i m more than confident. forgot me goggles. kayak. search one and done. dray, when he was younger, he loved to smile; and we knew he would need braces because his teeth were coming in funny. this is the picture that was on the front page of the newspaper. all you can notice is the braces! then, once he got to michigan state, he broke the retainer! my bottom teeth, they were really crooked, and i just wasn t getting braces again. then i discovered smiledirectclub. it s easy to just grab it and go and i can change it on the road. i did photoshoots with my aligners in and you can t see them. a smile is a first impression, that s why i think having a great smile is so important. ainsley: showdown pruing between president trump s lawyers and robert mueller. we know special counsel mueller threatened the president with a grand jury subpoena to fores him to answer questions. brian: first immigrants of caravan getting asylum. what about the thousand of others still waiting? if you violate the border of entry and our laws, you will be prosecuted. there is no exempt category. steve: some say the prom dress is racist. i really respect the culture. i feel it is really beautiful. brian: should illegal hold government jobs. one california lawmaker says it is a good idea. that was not a right for people that didn t respect the people to follow the rule of law to get here. period. what happened with the great america again hat. i felt freedom, doing something everybody tells you not to do. i never been into politics. i just love trump. that is my voice. that song and chorus, so recognizable. used on so many tv shows even the finale of the sopranos. it was written by jonathan cain. one of the members about journey will talk to us about the journey of journey coming up. ainsley: he plays the keyboard. has a knew book out. brian: i believe there were only two journey albums. i had both of them. am i right, joel? [buzzer] i was told there were only two. ainsley: because you were on a budget. fascination with numbers and bands. want to know how many people are in the band and how many albums drops. brian: one of the many mysteries that makes meme. ainsley: he is a numbers guy. brian: showdown between president trump and robert mueller s lawyers. ainsley: leaks show the special counsel is considering a subpoena to get the president to talk. steve: griff jenkins is live in washington, d.c. he appears without his arm sling. reporter: i have it over here if you need one. this showdown could end up in the supreme court if special counsel mueller follows through on the grand jury subpoena threat if the president refuses to answer questions. revelation coming from a meeting back in march, according to former lead attorney john dowd, who confirmed same to mueller s team. this is not some game. you re screwing with the work of the president of the united states. dowd resigned a few weeks later over the prospects of the president testifying, told ed henry he is not the one leaking as fox news obtain ad leaked list of 50 questions mueller wants to ask the president. including, mike flynn, jeff sessions and his own son donald trump, jr. the president is firing back. so disgraceful that the questions concerning the russia witch-hunt were leaked to media. no questions on collusion. you have a made up phony crime collusion, that never existed and an investigation begun illegally leaked classified information. nice. leaks continue and continue as critics of russia probe these questions prove mueller is trying to set a trap for the president rather than investigating a crime, guys. steve: griff, thank you very much. that message, that sentiment was encapsulated in a tweet that came out 17 minutes ago from the president. he tweets there was no collusion. it s a hoax. and there is no obstruction of justice. that is a set-up and trap. what there is, is negotiations going on with north korea over nuclear war, negotiations going on with china over trade deficits, negotiations on nafta and much more. witch-hunt. in other words, he is trying to run the country and trying to get us to make america great again but he has got this then going on where they re trying to show that he obstructed justice or there was russia collusion. to him there is no evidence. ainsley: what is important to the american people? are they sick of all this collusion mess? there hasn t been any evidence of collusion. robert mueller is continuing this. is it obstruction of justice? is he going to be subpoenaed. what do you at home care about you? care about nafta and what happens in china and north korea. at that would be amazing if they could sit down and talk and negotiate. brian: that might be one of the president s all-time great tweets. lays out what his day is. his day has nothing to do with robert mueller, swearing in mike pompeo and re-energizing the state department and substantial congress he is making with or without congress. his statement was, john dowd, reportedly march 12th, meeting with the mueller team, this isn t a game. president has to run the country. can we get down to it? can get get over this? couple things worthy. this leaked out. the questions leaked out. the trump team, there was verbatim from the mueller team taken down as jay sekulow, john dowd, ty cobb were listening robert mueller s team listening to the questions. robert mueller has gone after four people not telling the truth to the investigation, to the fib i b there are some things in these 52 questions where if you do not line up with rick gates, if you do not line up with michael flynn, whatever they said or paul manafort, or the papdopoulus, down get the president on this? that is the goal here. steve: president says this is a trap. given all the world has seen the four dozen questions the president is note going to sit down with mr. mueller. it is unlikely, not impossible, but nonetheless goes to a tweet the president sent out yesterday. it is hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened. where, it all started with russia collusion. i think i read this morning in the paper that manafort s lawyer says the mueller team said we can t find any coordination or communication between manafort and russian officials. brian: right. could that be one of the surprises? is that part of that case? can you actually surprise somebody. is there a discovery process before you sit down, we got these intercepts of manafort talking to the russian government. steve: no obligation. we ll talk to victoria tensing in about five minutes. she is expert on the topic. what she has to say will surprise. ainsley: let s talk about the caravan, all the central americans traveling trying to get into the united states. 18 migrants coming in. 28 migrants in another article. 30 migrants made it over the border, mostly women and children within the air van. eight on monday. the rest of them on tuesday. steve: when they arrive the san ysidro port, the process 100,000 people a day. they were shocked the border patrol said we can t dot processing for asylum, because we re filled up. as it turns out there is a big group of mostly mexicans trying to get asylum at that port. now those people are angry from the people from the caravan, because the caravan people are jumping the line. wait a minute. we ve been here a week. you have to wait your turn. brian: backlog of court cases for people like this is up to over a million. so over a came here. they declared status. they know what to say. we give them a court date. it is so backed up they have to get a million people ahead of them. this is an insane system. it doesn t benefit anyone. there might be people there helping american society. others that don t belong. they want to foment violence in the society. this is not a way to run a superpower. what are the people thinking around the world. ainsley: we ll have to hire more people to process them. so many people coming through and we want to vet them more to make us safe. steve: out of 100, only 20 show up for the court date. commissioner of the cpb this is a very thorough, time sensitive process. no one will be exempt from the law during this administration. processing people without documents who are making asylum claims is necessarily time-intensive. we need to have space for them to handle that appropriately. the u.s. border patrol apprehended 11 folks, some with family units crossing the border between ports of entry. we set those up with prosecution with the strong support of the attorney general and department of justice. they re in u.s. marshal custody. they will go through the criminal process. secretary nielsen, you cross our border between ports of entry, you will be prosecuted. there are no exempt categories. steve: all different from the last administration. brian: et s kang news. kanye west made a lot of news, he tweeted i like donald trump. one of the guests african-american, was a democrat, now a republican. says i m tired of thinking african-americans have it bad. this generation does not. candace owens says you re overserved in america. kanye west tweeted support. they talked. they had a chance to meet face-to-face. kanye did tmz yesterday. ainsley: watch this. this was a feeling i had, like, people were taught how to think. we re taught how to feel. we don t know how to feel for ourselves. people say feel free. they don t want us to feel free. freedom, first of all, just doing something that everybody tells you not to do. i just love trump. that is my boy. there is a class war happening right now. the class war is one of the reasons why trump won because obama was so high-class, that it stopped speaking to the middle and the lower class. steve: kanye took a lot of heat aligning himself with candace owens. he took a lot of heat for loving trump. took a lot of heat saying slavery was a choice. brian: he fired back. listen, with i m trying to say. the mind-set is a choice. don t look back 400 years. think about how things are today, how you want to be. i m being attacked to present new ideas. to make myself clear i know slaves did not get shackled and put on a boat with free will. to make myself clear he said that he also had another defining statement. he quoted harriet tubman, i freed 1000 slaves. i could have freed 1000 more, only if they knew they were slaves. ainsley: we asked you guys at home to respond to this. maria wrote us, kanye started a tsunami a dialogue about freedom of choice for all who were expected to think and follow the far left doctrine mindlessly. good for him. steve: sheila e mailed him, just because he loves trump does make him a hero or new fav to conservatives. the impact on waking his fans. that is where the threat lies for the left. brian: chelsea says i m not a fan of his music but i support what he is saying. democrat liberals don t seem to comprehend. i don t really follow politics. if you want someone follows politics, my buddy john legend follows politics. he likes his approach. way he does things. he pointed out in hip-hop, i wouldn t know this, donald trump is part of a lot of lyrics. steve: we have heard he might like to run for president some day even though he is not very political. brian: in 2024. i don t think he would run against trump. ainsley: there is what america is about. you are allowed to have different political views and like each other. he and john legend don t agree on the politics. if you read tweets or news, they still love each other. steve: they were over the weekend together. ainsley: right, exactly. steve: nancy pelosi has a lot to say about republicans. crumbs they are giving. should they mow the grass so people can t hide in it. a bowl of doggie doo put a cherry on top and call it a sundae. ainsley: gross. is schiff valley dead, there is new op-ed, that says yes. you, if you re a woman, you killed it. we ll debate it next. lilly. she pretty much lives in her favorite princess dress. but once a week i let her play sheriff so i can wash it. i use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. you are free to go. tide and downy together. steve: president trump outraged as the questions robert mueller would like to ask him are leaked to the press including fox news. the big question now, who is the leaker and why does it keep happening? let s talk to attorney victoria tensing and former attorney to the congressional committee and former attorney general to president ronald reagan. good morning steve. steve: we were talking during the break you have no idea who the leaker is but don t these leaks make it clear longs like the special counsel is out to trap the president of the united states? not just out to trap him, but these are all improper questions under various bases, steve. one of them, the president in the legal vernacular is not readily available to be interviewed. what does that mean? well the information has to be very material to the matter. but it can not be, that it can not be gotten from any other place or any other person. steve: so if there is another person who could do the testimony, you default to them, and not the president? absolutely. then that s done out of policy because the president, you know, all kinds of people would want the president to be a witness in something. case law is here in washington, d.c. but there is even, more important issues at play here and at that is, the president s, so many questions are challenging the president s authority under article ii. the president is the chief executive. he hires and fires people. he can do so. he is not to be questioned in any place for having done so. so many, why dud fire mueller or comey and those kind of thing. steve: right. the third category is executive privilege. and that is deliberative process the president foes through. for example, what did you, was the decision you made if, deciding whether to fire flynn? steve: right. that is second live privilege but there is even another category. these blew my mind. what did you feel? what did you think when? bless me father, i have sinned, i had impure thoughts. i thought catholic confessional only place thoughts are called into question, not the legal system of the united states. steve: so if you were one of his attorneys, you and joe, got close to it, but you had other clients that would keep that from happening, if you were advising him right now, you would say, mr. president, sitting in a chair opposite robert mueller is the last place you need to be? i would say, as i have said to other clients, if you want to go down there, i m going to go stand in the door, you will have to go over pie dead body to go down there. i have said at that to other clients. they didn t go and thanked me later. steve: victoria, real quickly, president said hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened. look where is the russia collusion. they can t find that. how could i be obstructing that? remember scooter libby, my client who the president pardoned. there was no crime. valerie plame was not covert. they got scooter on process. one i want to comment on the president, if the president says x, and jim comey says x, bob mueller s people will say, oh, jim comey told the truth and the president lied. this is now an article for impeachment. they can t indict him according to doj case precedent but they can take him, well, legal memoranda. but they can write an article of impeachment. that is exactly what happened to scooter libby. two people s memories differed. scooter was indicted. he was not the president. steve: you made it clear. it could be a trap. thank you very much for joining us. sure. steve: straight ahead, is chivalry dead? yes. i can also help with this. does your bed do that? oh. i don t actually talk. though i m smart enough to. i m the new sleep number 360 smart bed. let s meet at a sleep number store. hesumatra reserve told in the time it takes to brew your cup. let s go to

, watch. it s open. it s open. i don t go on dates with guys that don t open the door for me. really? yes. seriously? yes. oh, man. no he ainsley: well, according to a recent survey by match.com, 73% of women believe chivalry is dead. according to one of our next guests, explains in the new op-ed, because women killed it. suzanne baker a columnist, author of guide to marriage. we have a professor at john hopkins university to discuss it and a democratic strategist. good morning, ladies. good morning. suzanne, you wrote the op set. wendy, you read it, i read it. you compare a telegram that was sent to a woman right before she got marid to a facebook video. i read back in the day, back in 1954, your friend, her period of time recently died, your friend was going through memorabilia. she finds the telegram. this is the husband writing to his soon to be wife. darlinglying i will wait for you at 8:00, with a lifetime of expectancy. my heart coming down with the aisle. may god be with us tonight. my love for you, henry. suzanne you saw on facebook this video saying chivalry was harmful to men and women because it reinforces this idea that women need to be helped or saved by a stronger man, it takes away from woman s agency. you saw these two contrasts. you started to write the op-ed, explain that a little for us. sure. it just struck me as just wow, i mean the stark contrast between this beautiful letter that really moved me to seeing this message from this woman, basically selling the same tired message that men have been hearing for decade which is, i can do it by myself. i m strong enough. you don t need to hold the door open for me. you don t need to pay my way. basically anything that is sort of traditionally male and female in terms of the courtship is just gone. after some years of hearing that, my argument is that men have effectively said, okay, you said you don t want it, so i guess i m not supposed to do it. if i do it i will be insulted. they are really lost and confuse what women want. women are just as confused because they have been sold this message that, that chivalry is bad or somehow destructive to women it is not at all. so we have a problem. ainsley: wendy, what do you think? are we to blame, women. i wouldn t go as far to say women killed chivalry. whether you look from card did i. about, to beyonce,working moms or countless others what we have done we evolved the conversation what it means to be a woman in today s society. and what that means is, we re doing it all, and it is basically mean men have to basically rise to the occasion to meet us where we are. we are not the mothers of our past. there was fog wrong with that past nothing wrong with that we re doing juggling millions of things. chivalry is not dead, in essence we don t want men to open doors for us, what we are saying we have to handle us and handle a full-time job as well. ainsley: you make a good point in the op-ed, suzanne, not that we can t open our own doors, to the that we can t pay for our own food, but you say that, is it, is this show of sign of respect? why is it important to let a woman do those thing? right. so what s been lost in this whole, 40-year experiment really or, however you want to define it is the yin and yang the dance between women and men. men and women now are completely confused and lost about who is supposed to do what. who wants what and what women specifically are confused about, is men and how their, it is in their dna to provide and protect women. that is who they are. that is their identity. we ve essentially ripped out of them. when they become unmoored. if you don t let them do what is in them to do you re going to disrupt that dance. so what i m trying to say is, masculinity and feminity are wonderful things in and off themselves, when they work in tandem, sparks fly. it is awesome. we re not allowing that to happen pause we are infused with this message about equality, the idea men and women are the same when they are not. that gesture of holding the door open i was using as one example is to the men trying to open press women. they want to please them. they want to take care of them. they want to show them honor really. we knew this in the past. everybody knew this this has gotten completely lost in the last 40 years. you can see that in the telegram how deeply that was felt and understood. women today want. you read at that telegram. who would to the want that, right? but how are we going to get there, yeah, got to get back to understanding ainsley: wendy, we re all, i heard it said that we are created the, we are both equally as important but created the differently in our needs and our wants. do you agree with that? i agree with that to some extent. as a wife and mother of two little boys i believe the strength of a woman what makes men respect us even more. we are to the necessarily damsels in distress here. we can open doors for ourselves is. we can do things for ourselves. we welcome men to open doors for us as well. but its okay for a woman to be strong. it is okay for a women to be independent. that in no way negates a man s masculinity at all. i couldn t agree more. ainsley: wendy, suzanne, great to see you. we ll have to have you back. we ll continue the conversation later. thanks, ladies. remember when u.n. ambassador nikki haley said this. so outrageous that some countries we support go against us at the u.n., we re watching votes and we re taking names. ainsley: she was taking names. this morning we have the list. nancy pelosi made her boldest prediction yet, not only will democrats win the midterms, she will become the house speaker again she says. your emails next. with big dreams. we came with big appetites. with expedia, you could book a flight, hotel, car, and activity all in one place. ibut it doesn t always come naturally. this i can do, easily. benefiber® healthy shape is a 100% natural prebiotic fiber that s clinically proven to help me feel fuller longer. benefiber® healthy shape. this i can do! with dell small businessout your technology advisors you get the one-on-one partnership you need to grow your business. the dell vostro 15 laptop. contact a dell advisor today. should they mow the grass so people can t hide in it? a bowl of doggie do, put a cherry on top, call it a chocolate sunday. they go to church a lot of these people anti, you pray on sunday and prey on people the rest of the week. steve: some of nancy pelosi s greatest hits. brian: she has more, believe me. ainsley: we left out some of the others. we don t have time for them all. steve: she was talking to washington rather the boston globe. made it very clear. the reason she is hanging on all these years since she was speaker because she think there is will be a blue wave and get the big chair again. ainsley: that she will become speaker again. brian: when we win i run for speaker, we re confident about it, my members do too. not all of them, even toe she is a money-generating machine. who is high-fiving? every republican that wants wants to stay in the majority. she is somebody that motivates the right to vote. a lot of people think she is somebody that is, takes a lot of moderates or independents says, i remember what it was like when she was in charge. i don t want to relive that. ainsley: a lot want new blood. you ask democrats, who is the next candidate? they don t have any idea. we asked all of you to write in. james said, it is going to be a tough sell since some of the newer democratic members of the house want her to step aside. steve: meanwhile they do want her fund-raising. another viewer tweets, whether dems are in the minority or majority, nancy pelosi should not be speaker. the democrats in congress should also resist that. brian: vicki said this, but in higher voice. is that all the dems have? they re in trouble. i don t even know what their message is, their message is, we didn t vote for the tax cuts. their message is, the president doesn t even resonate anymore. the president was falsely elected. doesn t matter. guess what s happening? through all this turmoil the president s approval rating is going up. on real clear average is 42, a little bit above where he was steve: highest in 11 months. brian: a little bit above where president obama was, who did not have big scandal looming over his head or check that, investigation looming over his head. ainsley: the american public sees the president trying to get the wall done, to pass tax cuts and democrats are standing in his way. once it happens like the tax cuts, people are seeing bonuses. they re looking at nancy pelosi calling them crumbs. they re saying she is out of touch. she was trying to prevent us from brian: you know what could hurt the republican message? what marco rubio said. so far he claims, i will paraphrase, i see no discernible advantage for the average worker from the tax cut. steve: that is outlyer from the a republican. democrats all voted no on the tax cut. keep in mind kevin brady is on two days ago. they will bring up phase two of the tax cuts before the election, means every democrat could vote for it this time. they won t, because they say it is a bad idea. nonetheless a lot in troublesome states could say yes, make an ad that effect. brian: waiting a long time for phase two. we ve been hearing about phase two for two months. don t say a word about phase two. we re working on it. jillian: good morning, how are you guys. ainsley: we re almost done. we re close to thursday. close to the weekend. jillian: before we get to that we have to get drought up on headlines. start with that you remember when u.n. ambassador nikki haley issued this warning? it is outrageous to see so many countries who we support go against us at the u.n. we re watching their votes and yes, we re taking names. jillian: new state department report giving her those names revealing u.n. member-states only voted with the u.s. 31% of the time last year. in a statement haley said quote, this is to the acceptable return on our investment. american taxpayers pay for 22% of the u.n. budget. a face only a mother could know. this accused crook who police say held up several businesses wearing a surgical mask stumped police for weeks but he couldn t fool his mom. marcel roundtree turning himself in after his 88-year-old mother recognized him on the news. known as the cookie man, he faces several robbery charges. same college where americans tore down and burned american flag after the 2016 election, will hold a feminist he collaborative at the college in massachusetts they will talk about reproductive justice and gender lens to social issues. the two week course costs fearly $3,000. even dogs have days they don t want to get up and go to work. my poor husband, trying to go to work and he lays flat on the ground. it is only tuesday. dude has wednesday, thursday, friday, still to go to work. court court that is k-9 officer jango refusing to get in the car. the officer had to persuade him with a belly rub. he jumps right up, dad, let s go. time for work. steve: he was waiting for it. ainsley: that is cute. steve: thank you very much, jillian. ainsley: i love the story. $3,000 for a feminist camp to learn about reproductive justice. jillian: i like the belly rub story. i don t work without a belly rub. ainsley: really? i don t want anyone to rub my belly. brian: put that if the manuel. we have to talk about belly rubs all day long. we have to talk about severe weather. it is happening yesterday. it will happen today and tomorrow. two dozen reports of tornadoes, some of the video we re getting in. thankfully no one injured or hurt in these tornadoes, today could mean the difference. it will move into more populated areas. the section is going to widen from texas up to the great lakes. we ll see visuals of these. we hope they re not on top of people s opens. know with to do if you have a watch or warning in your area. we re certainly going to have tornadoes today. they could be large, they could be destructive and they could be deadly. we don t need that. this is the severe weather setup. perfect extreme weather setup. jet scream is in place. we have upper level wind and lower level wind and gulf moisture and turning wind in height. tornadoes a threat. they will happen across the plain states especially the red and orange areas. that is the main concern overnight tonight and into tomorrow. i need you folks living across the plains know what to do with your watch and warning. protect your kids and your animals. lowest level in your home when you hear the sirens going off. steve: a lot of people have root cellars or basements. they might head there. brian: oklahoma city, most of them have it. heed the warnings. steve: thanks very much, jd meanwhile brian: as the immigrant caravan waits at the border, many on the left want you to believe only innocent people are entering our country. one policeman with a reality check next. steve: one of the most iconic rock songs of all time, but do you know where the name, don t stop believing came from? that is journey keyboardist jonathan cain shares the journey because life should have more wishes and less worries. feel the clarity and live claritin clear. gentlemen, i have just received word! the louisiana purchase, is complete! instant purchase notifications from capital one . technology this helpful. could make history. what s in your wallet?

backward in the effort to eliminate the threat of north korea s nuclear weapons program. president trump says there s a good chance next month s planned summit with kim jong un will not happen on schedule. the president indicating today the meeting will either be on his terms or it won t happen at all. and it could very well be delayed as a possibility. chief white house correspondent john roberts starts us off from the north lawn tonight with where the summits prospects are. good evening. good evening. in the oval office today, president trump said the chances of a summit between him and north korean leader kim jong un is basically a coin flip. 50/50, the president said. the white house is still making plans. president trump has repeatedly stated that the summit with kim jong un may happen. it may not happen. we will see. in the oval office today with south korean president moon jae-in, the president went further down the road to pessimism that he has thus far. very substantial chance that it won t work out and that s okay. that doesn t mean it won t work out over a period of time but it may not work out for june 12. speak with the president s remarks flew in the face of the south korean national security advisor who said just hours earlier there was a 99% chance the meeting will happen. later this afternoon, secretary of state mike pompeo said the state department is still working for the june 12 date and that the u.s. is in deep discussions with north korea over substance. we are working to make sure there is a common understanding of the contents discussed but i am optimistic. again, this could be something that comes right to the end. today north korea invited journalists to its nuclear test site which north korea says is being decommissioned. it s unclear whether the site was even usable after the last nuclear test reportedly collapsed tunnels. president trump repeated today that kim will receive protections in exchange for dismantling his nuclear program. we will guarantee safety and we have talked about that from the beginning. he will be safe. he will be happy. president trump expressed frustration that north korea s recent squishing us about a summit seemed to coincide with a second meeting kim had with chinese president xi jinping on may 8. the second meeting, i think there was a little change in attitude from kim jong un. so i don t like that. i don t like that. president trump also said he s not happy with how trade talks between the u.s. and china have been going. despite tweeting that china has agreed to buy massive amounts of additional farm agricultural products will be one of the best things to happen to our farmers and many years. the president insists he has not cut a deal to save chinese telecom giant zte, though he has some ideas to keep them in business. i envision a very large find of more than a billion dollars. could be a billion .3. i envision new management, new board, very strict security rules and i envision they have to buy a big percentage of their parts and equipment from american companies. treasury secretary steven mnuchin was pummeled with questions about zte on capitol hill today. after conversations with president trump, the senate minority leader came away worrying that the president will go soft on zte to keep xi jinping happy. we are pressing the president to stand firm, not to let zte wriggle out from under the tough sanctions we leveled on them. president trump had some ideas today of how he sees the long game with north korea. in the short term, the president envisions two korea s prosperous and living in peaceful coexistence. he did say he would ultimately like to see a reunified korean peninsula but only if the two countries wanted that to happen. no imposition of such an idea from the united states. bret: john roberts live on the north lawn. thanks. putting the squeeze on iran. the trump administration is imposing new sanctions on a group of iranians who supportig terrorism. it is part of the new get tough approach to the islamic republi republic. good evening. secretary of state mike pompeo wants iran to act like a normal country. he has listed a dozen demands he s expecting from iran. he says the united states is refusing to compromise on those because he says they should be easy to meet. the benchmark i set forward yesterday as a low standard. it is what we expect from countries all around the world. they are aren t a special set of rules that we set forward for iran. we asked them to behave in the way normal nonbelligerent nations behave. two hours ago secretary pompeo surprised reporters here, appearing in the press briefing room answering questions about north korea and iran. yesterday the secretary announced the trump administration s iran policy following its withdrawal from the iran nuclear agreement. pompeo demanded iran permanently halt any nuclear enrichment, release american prisoners, stopped funding militant groups. he says in exchange for iran s compliance with the dozen demands, the united states would lift sanctions and help iran modernize its economy. instead, more sanctions against iranians. this morning, the treasury department targeted five more. pompeo s warning companies and allied countries to avoid conducting business with iran. in response to pompeo s speech, iranian president has president hassan rouhani says who are you to decide about iran. who are you to decide for the world? pompeo says the u.s. is deciding for itself and articulating what america intends to do. in the next few months, the administration says it s going to allow sanctions to move forward against iranians, the same types of sanctions that were prohibited when the u.s. participated in the iran nuclear agreement. pompeo says those measures will be the strongest in history. bret. bret: rich edson live at the state department. thank you. venezuela is expelling the top u.s. diplomat in that country. president nicolas maduro is accusing the top u.s. officials there of conspiring against the government and trying to sabotage the country s recent presidential election. tensions between the u.s. and venezuela are increasing following maduro s victory in the presidential election sunday, a vote the white house has branded a sham. yesterday the trump administration impose new sanctions against the federal government. republicans who have for months complained about the scope and duration of the special counsel investigation are now asking for a special prosecutor of their own. this comes as president trump continues to insist the justice department look into reports of an informant inside his 2016 campaign. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is in washington tonight with where things stand. the president left no doubt today where he stands on reports the fbi used at least one informant to gather intelligence on his campaign. if they had spies in my campaign, that would be a disgrace for this country. that would be one of the biggest insults that anyone has ever seen. it would be very illegal. with the south korean president by his side, the president did not avoid questions about his demands for the justice department to act. some person got paid a lot of money. that s not a normal situation. the suspected informant met with carter page and sam clovis and at one point was recommended for administration position. the individual was known to former trump campaign chairman paul manafort but they were not in contact during the 2016 election. with the president s insistence on a parallel investigation and the justice department expanding an existing probe to cover the informant allegations, the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee accused the president of overstepping his authority. this is information that the justice department, fbi expressed grave concerns about. what s been said is dynamite. it s the scandal of our time. house republicans asking a resolution for a second special counsel to investigate a broad range of allegations against the justice department and the fbi standing a three year period to include the clinton email case, alleged government surveillance abuse, as well as how and why the rush investigation began into the trump campaign. this president has turned over 1.2 million documents to the special counsel mueller. and yet our doj and fbi, in a seven month period, has delivered less than 19,000 documents. democrats accused republicans of improperly investigating the investigators. normally when you have congress trying to interfere with an investigation, the president protects the independence of the justice department. here the president as part of that interference. you have to take it up with the guys who wrote the constitution. that s exactly what we are supposed to do. give us the information we are entitled to see. white house brokered meeting, latest information indicating it will be thursday at the justice department. source close to the discussions said it s not clear the records requested by congress including those about an alleged fbi informant will be made accessible. bret: catherine herridge in washington. thank you. more on this with the panel. top house republicans as russia s goal is to create chaos during the upcoming midterm elections. how to prevent that is a major talking point tonight. following a high-level briefing from some of the country s top intelligence officials. correspondent peter doocy tells us from capitol hill apparently many in congress are not that interested. in a room beneath the capital, the intel chiefs who came to deliver a classified briefing about election interference that every house member was invited to share those secrets with a lot of empty seats. i would say we had 40 or so members that attended. that s 40 out of 428 members serving right now. one theory: congress didn t want to commute an hour early. homeland security chairman was surprised so many lawmakers who talk about election interference blew off the director of national intelligence, fbi director, and dhs secretary. the democrats have made this such a big issue and asked for this briefing for a long time and we finally schedule it and it s classified and 30 members show up. every member of congress not retiring is up for reelection and the midterms but none are known to be in the cross hairs of foreign metallurgist. right now we have no intel that there is a particular interest. secretary nielsen said china and iran are considered threats to election integrity but that kind of interference they are worried about in 2018 is the same kind elected in 2016 where ballots aren t changed by social media is manipulated to cause chaos. i think we remain concerned certainly on the foreign influence i ve heard we have seen that continually. details like that did not dazzle the democrats who did attend. i didn t hear one bit of classified information. there was nothing that i couldn t have read in usa today that was revealed. so the fact that there was a low attendance, it doesn t matter. this was the rare russia-related event on capitol hill that happened behind closed doors, so it s going to be very interesting to see if the hundreds of lawmakers who decided they didn t want the classified update today decided to show up to the next russia hearing where the cameras are rolling the whole time. bret. bret: peter, moments ago the house passed legislation to ease banking rules, essentially a reform of the dodd-frank law. what do we know about the bill that s actually now headed to the president s desk? it s making life easier for smaller banks in this country. after the financial crisis with the dodd-frank regulations, the feds put the strictest regulations on banks that were worth $50 billion or more. they said those banks are too big to fail. they must be regular. now too big to fail is bigger. $250 billion, five times that size, is now the too big to fail threshold which means that a lot of smaller banks are going to have a lot fewer regulations. this does not repeal dodd-frank but it does rollback a lot of important regulations and it is the rare measure that very easily cleared the senate and the house. bret. bret: peter doocy live on the hill. thank you. not a full dismantle of dodd-frank but a big win for the administration. voters are going to the polls in texas, arkansas, kentucky, georgia. corresponded jonathan serrie s in gainesville, georgia, right now with an intense battle among republicans buying for spot on the gubernatorial ticket there. good evening, jonathan. good evening, bret. i am at the casey cagle watch party. lieutenant governor enjoys statewide name recognition but he s 1 of 5 g.o.p. candidates in the primary. a july runoff appears increasingly likely in this race. the other statewide office holder in the republican race for governor, georgia secretary of state brian kemp. he gained national attention with some provocative ads to show his support for the second amendment. former navy seal clay tippin s and former army ranger hunter hill have been touting their military expense and state senator michael williams earned praise and protest when he branded his campaign bus as a deportation bus. he says he did that to raise the issue of illegal immigration. for republicans in this primary, the strategy has been energizing the populist conservative base. in the democratic primary for georgia governor, two candidates with the same first name and similar platforms went into this race with some very different strategies. state representative stacey evans whose district is located in the atlanta suburb, trying to win back suburban moderates and working-class voters who have left the democratic party in large numbers. former state representative stacy abrams has been running a door-to-door campaign to attract new voters with left-leaning values. yesterday abrams picked up the support of hillary clinton, who recorded a robo call for her. she has the endorsement of senators kamala harris, cory booker, and bernie sanders. bret, tonight democrats are going to be watching tonight s primary to see which of those two strategies resonates most with voters and then you will likely see that strategy in future campaigns going into the 2020 presidential election. for republicans, because of the sheer number of g.o.p. contenders, this race may not be decided tonight. analysts say the campaign for a runoff election for the g.o.p. could be both nasty and very expensive. bret. bret: jonathan serrie live in gainesville, georgia, tonight. thank you. up next, residents who wanted to stay in their homes during the volcano eruptions in hawaii are now fleeing for their lives. many of them. first here s what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. fox 45 in baltimore,

here at the nixon library, the resting place for president nixon. there have been two new small explosive eruptions at the summit of kilauea volcano on hawaii s big island. scientists report near continuous low level ash emissions and dangers from that on the lava, behind a new push for evacuations. jeff paul is in hawaii tonight. i can t be anymore frank. it s time to get out. it is probably past time to get out. dire warning for some residents on the eastern side hawaii s big island, as lava flows are moving faster come across one major roadway and threatening others. the county is doing everything they can to get the last few holdouts in that area evacuated as quickly as possibl possible. the situation could turn precarious really fast. not too long ago, you could drive down this highly but you can see it s covered with lava that is still hot and putting out flames. if you were on the other side of this pile of lava, you would need an early left. there are growing concerns lava could soon reach a nearby geothermal plant. it has seeped onto the edge of the property, sparking fears of a possible explosion and release of toxic steam. the plant is far from the summit, but it s close to an active feature in the rift zone. crews have removed 50,000 gallons of flammable liquid and are in the process of quenching the wells with cold water. it s not easy to predict where it s going to go and when it s going to get there. lava hayes is a factor. lava is hitting the ocean, creating corrosive plumes that contain acid and tiny pieces of glass. residents saying what is scaring the most, not knowing what s next. this yo-yo effect of bad, bad and then it s better. we are rolling with the punches but you never know what s happening. hawaii national guard is prepping its fleet of helicopters for rescue missions in the event people become stranded. guard members are on standby, as lava flows increase in speed and in size. bret. bret: jeff paul live in hawaii

congressional reapportionment. alabama says the 2020 census numbers will cause them to lose a congressional seat to a state with a larger population of illegal immigrants. one california lawmaker wants taxpayers to provide free health care to illegal immigrants. critics say it will create a wave of undocumented workers from other states. supporters say it s just the right thing to do. play fair and balanced low, chief correspondent jonathan hunt look at both sides from los angeles. getting welfare benefits. you are free health care coverage. battle lines being drawn in the latest front in the ongoing immigration fight in california. some states politicians push free health care coverage for undocumented immigrants. others, including orange county supervisor michelle steele, consider the idea a disaster that will make california even more of a magnet for illegal immigration. is going to be utopia for illegal immigrants. orange county board of supervisors is one of several local jurisdictions that have joined the trump administration in suing california over its so-called sanctuary state policy. the proposal to expand medicare was introduced by state senator ricardo lara who grew up without health care coverage as the son of undocumented immigrants. it would make california the first state in the nation to offer free health care to the undocumented. it would also be expensive. costing about $3 billion. but the senator argues that in practice the state is already paying for health care through e.r. visits, saying we are trying to address the fact that whether you like it or not, our undocumented community needs their care and we are paying for it anyway. if the bill makes it to governor jerry brown s desk during this legislative session, he is required to sign or veto it by september 30. five weeks before the midterm elections. likely firing up the pace on both sides of the political divide. bret. bret: thank you. up next, taking on gangs where they live.

handpicked by the governor to participate. solutions ranging from metal detectors at public schools to improved mental health programs are among the long list of possibilities on the table. whether you are a republican or democrat, whether you are pro-gun or believe in more gun regulations, the reality is we all want guns out of the hands of those who would try to murder our children. ten people

referring to members of the notorious ms-13 gang as animals, and you may remember some in the media at left out the ms-13 ms-13 referencing the original coverage. correspondent bryan llenas tells us you will likely hear that description again. over the last year, i.c.e. raids targeting ms-13 gang members have increased. in 2017, i.c.e. arrested gang members nationwide, the highest total scene in nine years. it is all part of president trump s initiative to defeat the broody brutally viog from el salvador. estimating ms-13 has 10,000 members in the u.s. los angeles to virginia to long island. on wednesday, president trump will host an ms-13 roundtable on long island to discuss progress made and what more needs to be done. when the ms-13 comes in, when the other gang members come into our country, i referred to them as animals. guess what. i always will. it is trump s insistence on referring to ms-13 gang members as animals that has outraged critics who believe he was calling all immigrants animals. republican pete king of long island defends trump. the president is entirely on target. the only criticism i would make is that he is being unfair to animals. animals don t kill

there you go. kimberly. chuck, go ahead. bret, i was a little confused. i think just by that and also by what the president and various other people were saying about this meeting. seemed a week or so ago like this was a done deal. then you have the president saying there s a very substantial chance it won t happen. contradicted by the south koreans, sort of contradicted by mike pompeo. hard to tell what he was talking about. he made an allusion to the fact that xi jinping of china had met with kim jong il and then that since then, north korea seems to have hardened its stance. seemed a little annoyed with xi jinping but frankly i am not sure why, even if it were true that the meeting was in jeopardy, i m not sure why he would sort of casually just drop it in a conversation like that. makes it seem like it doesn t even he doesn t even really know what s going on in his own foreign policy. there is obviously something going on here. bret: we are trying to figure out what is going on with kimberley s camera. we ll come back to her. byron, your thoughts on the announcement today and this summit in the wings. kind of seemed like the president was the executive producer of this. tune in june 12 for the exciting conclusion. will they meet? i do think that anybody nobody would ve said going in there there would be this smooth path. i think everybody was offering caveats when the president first said this, announce this meetin meeting. that you can trust with the north koreans say. may be playing the whole thing, all gamesmanship. we should expect a bumpy road. i think it s going to happen but i would expect a bumpy road and many more threats between now and june 12. bret: here is president trump on helping north korea, really kind of selling the prospects of a potential deal today. i will guarantee his safety, yes. will guarantee his safety and we have talked about that from the beginning. he will be safe. he will be happy. his country will be rich. his country will be hardworking and very prosperous. south korea, china, and japan. i have spoken to all three. they will be willing to help and i believe invest very, very large sums of money into helping to make north korea great. bret: what is kim jong un thinking about. we are trying to figure out kimberley s camera. we have her audio. kimberley, your thoughts and what the president said today in the thinking of kim jong un. whenever you have one of the worst actors in the world, like north korean dictator kim jong un, come out and saying that you fundamentally object to the very presidents of john bolton in the white house, it suggests that they know they are up against some tough customers. that s one of the important things out of this today. there are a lot of people worried president trump would let the whole argument about a nobel peace prize go to his head, that he would be willing to sit down under any circumstances and do any deals. and then end up in the same situation of the clinton administration and the george w. bush administration which cut deals that didn t last. i think his willingness to say we are going to do a deal but only on my terms and the summit will only happen under a certain scenario is a very good sign that those in the administration understand how kim jong un operates and the risk here of going into the summit without some groundwork having been lai laid. bret: okay. we have laid the groundwork for your camera. we are back in business. byron, listen to this sound bite about the president talking about how china factors into this and what may have happened with a meeting between president xi and kim jong un. president xi is a world-class poker player. there was a different attitude by the north korean folks when after that meeting. so i don t think it was a great meeting. nobody knew about the meeting. all of a saturn that was reported that he was in china second time. first time, everybody knew about. second time it was like a surprise. and i think things changed after that meeting. so i can t say that i m happy about it. bret: didn t like it, byron. is amazing how open the president is in talking about i. i really didn t like that. that rubbed me the wrong way. it is part of this build up we were talking about. this is a really kind of odd event when the president is saying that he can guarantee the safety of the other leader at the summit? that sounded kind of like a godfather thing. it like a summit of the families. everything about this summit is rather odd, and i think in the sound bite you just played, the president is, as kim was saying, kind of coming back to earth on this. not talking about the nobel prize in talking about all the various roadblocks that exist before he can get there. bret: all right. next up, republicans want a second special counsel. president trump wants some answers. we will look into the investigation of the investigation next. up! - anncr: thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. - dad s got all the answers. - anncr: prevagen is now the number-one-selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide. - she outsmarts me every single time. - checkmate! you wanna play again?

most recently we have the president have a sit down obviously with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and fbi director christopher wray and say look, you need to cooperate with congressional investigators. get these documents out so we can see the truth about this informant or whether there were any more. look, i think there s a lot of people even in congress still skeptical they are going to get to see the documents. so far the department of justice has only wanted to brief them to keep a tight hold over it, and that s going to be the proof of whether or not the president s message gets through. are they allowed to review the material themselves rather than just go on the word of the department of justice officials? bret: lawmakers weighing in on this whole back and forth and you can imagine that where they stand politically is kind of where they stand on this effort. extraordinarily troubling if this white house is trying to force our law enforcement and intelligence communities to divulge classified information for partisan reasons. if such a meeting occurs, and i don t believe it should, but if it occurs, it must be bipartisan. it is scheduled to take place on thursday of this week. the individuals that are expected to intend our chairman nunes, chairman gowdy, fbi director wray, dan coats, and ed o callaghan. bret: meeting on thursday orchestrated by the white house chief of staff but that s the group that s going to be there thursday. ideally they think to get their classified materials. i have to say i think chuck schumer has a point. if this is about congressional access to these vital materials, why shouldn t it be bipartisan? the democratic ranking member of that committee is cleared as well. especially if you don t want to create the impression that this is partisanship in the other direction. that there is a real principle at stake here. this is a very, very uncharted area. the idea of the independence of the intelligence and law enforcement communities is not written in the constitution. it s kind of a norm that s been established since watergate really. fairly recently in our history. it s being tested right now. we are going to find out whether it can withstand this hyperpartisan atmosphere we are in and the obvious fury of a president who comes from outside the system and outside that history. his belief that this machinery got turned against him. it s not entirely clear to me that it was being turned against him, at least not in extremely powerful or vicious ways. the way he is describing it. sounds like this halper guy was trying to keep tabs on carter page late in the summer. that s not exactly embedding a spy in the campaign. bret: what i say about both sides of the investigation every time on the panel is we don t know what we don t know. byron. the intelligence community and what chuck was talking about, they not only have to worry about the president s wrath or the partisan situation on capitol hill. they also have to worry about their own actions. this was an election in which the fbi had both major party candidates under investigation. maybe they have been too involved in politics and maybe this is what happens when you get too involved in politics. as far as the meeting is concerned, we will see what happens. republicans have gotten very wary of the sort of things by unhappy experience in which they think that the justice department is going to turn something over and then they show up in the room and the justice department just wants to talk about turning something over. but in the end, especially if they the support not just of the present but especially house speaker paul ryan, if they have that support, they are probably going to get what they re looking for. bret: last word, kimberley. wrap it up as we will follow each of these developments as they come. i think one problem with those who criticize this oversight by the house as they begin from the premise that the investigators are beyond reproach or beyond being looked at. given what is out there already about the fisa abuses, use of a dossier as part of the fisa warrant, who paid for it, the rival campaign, the text back and forth between fbi agents, there s a lot of average americans they don t trust those investigators. that s what s driving this look into it, the department of justice would do well to get it out there. bret: we will have many more panels, something tells me, about this topic. thank you. when we come back, stocking the library shelves. how long do you think we ll keep oooooohhh! you stopped! you re gonna leave me back here at year 9?
