lou: i have to take exception to the whole russian sue. the dnc, and it's that simple. michael, thanks. and thank you for being with us tonight. tomorrow please join us. kennedy: president trump, will the u.s. stay in or pull out of the paris climate accord. kathy griffin holding a picture of donald trump's severed head. time to get the scoop. the president is ready to pull out of the paris climate accord. while it's not easy being green. it's even harder to figure out why we would want to stay in it

would add up to a global economic crisis and a green tax that would punish countries that dare try to comply. the heritage foundation estimates compliance with the global group would cost $400,000 u.s. jobs and half of those losses would come from the already smothered manufacturing sector. if you are lucky enough to stay employed during this leftist pandering every household can expect to shoulder $30,000 in higher energy taxes the next 10 years.

of course committing the paris deal will turn us into a global pariah again. but being liked isn't as important as being rich. and it doesn't make a lot of sense to sacrifice our economy so germany invites us for strudel. the job-killing liberty squashing variety we are already strapped with. put it to a senate vote and let the free market and technology be the rightful stagers of the planet so human. it's good to have you here. i'm kennedy. is back out of the paris climate accord the best strategy for the

united states? bret baier is host of special report. lept talk about formally withdrawing from the paris climate accord and exiting the u.n. climate treaty all together. what are the two plans and how do they differ? bret were for people who say the u.s. should stay in. they say it improves the ability to negotiate on climate issues and terrorism and trade. and it make us in the club. you dealt with that in your opening. china is producing cl plants, so is dia, but they are also trying to lead the way on green energy and china would step into the void and take over world leadership on that front. these are the supporters who say we should do it. there are a lot of people who say the u.s. is taking it on the chin and would take it on the chin significantly financially if these are all held in line.

i think -- this is me talking. i think the president may do some king solomon's choice, where it's half a loaf, they sort of pull out but renegotiate to say we are going to renegotiate nafta, we are not going to scrap nafta. we are going to redo the deal. i think it's possible they will try to walk -- tiptoe through the tulips and renegotiate the u.s. position of the climate change he cord. kennedy: it's something you can have both ways. there is a split in the white house with his daughter ivanka and son-in-law jared kushner begging the president to stay in the climate accord for the reasons you laid out. u.s. would remain in that pro-euro club. then others like steve ban none and gary cohn who think we should pull out.

bret: there is not much concern about making european countries feel awkward. the nato speech alone saying th had to y their bills was exactly what the climate change pullout would be. which is it's a disruptor. i don't think they are afraid to do that. i think they are look at other implications. like china stepping into the void. kennedy: china doesn't have the green technology we do in this country. if that is what the world is clamoring for, allow tour free market and our scientists and our technology to step into that void with an international treaty be damned. you can still do all that and that's how you can fix these problems. it's frustrating to think there has to be a globalist one-world government solution that may or may not be of tour creation. bret were there is a lot of

people who agree with that. there are countries not obeying those stipulations anyway. i think we have to look at it from a country perspective. the u.s. is going to make -- the president is going to make a decision. if i had to bet, i would bet it's a half loaf situation. kennedy: i don't think that's the best solution at all. you just look at healthcare. there was a lot of talk about repealing and replacing obamacare. there was talking about pulling out of the paris climate accord. the president has the opportunity to make good on a campaign promise he hasn't so far. bret: there was talking about building a wall. kennedy: we don't have to spend $90 billion building a wall that may not have the intended effect. bret: there you go. kennedy: oh, bret. you are smart, i'm glad you came back.

bret: it's always fun. let me bring in my sugar-coated partpanel. fox business network dagen mcdowell joined by fox news analyst andy levy, and "new york times" scientist columnist. reports today claim former f.b.i. director james comey could testify next week that president trump asked him to back off the investigation of michael flynn. it will be the first time he speaks in public since the president fired him. investigators want to hear from comey's attorney, michael cohen. he's telling fox news, there has not been a single piece of evidence linking me to this fake

russian conspiracy it's not surprising to me, because there is none. kennedy: the white house defending jared kushner on claims he met with russians to set up a secret line of communications with the russians. where do we stand on russia? are we talking about it? there is a lot to talk about? or is this a narrative being driven by the president's enemy. >> it's a classic insider washington scandal it's got washington in a frenzy but boring the rest of the country to death and it will amount to nothing. it reminds me of the valerie plame scandal with bush. you had years of conspiracy theories and a special pratt keus cuter and nothing came of it. -- a special prosecutor, and nothing came of it. kennedy: now former f.b.i.

director james comey is going to testify reportedly next week. what is he going to say, and do you think that has the potential to change the story and turn it into something more substantial? >> if i knew what he was going to say, i would be getting paid a lot more money than i am right now. but it's like every one of these guys in the administration, they would say all of this happened before and will happen again. every one of the guys involved in this, they had contacts with russia they failed to disclose, and they refused to turn over stuff to the committees, then they get subpoenaed and they turned over stuff to the committee. it's flynn, then it's michael co-even. jared kushner may be next. there may be nothing here, but there is enough smoke where you have got to call the fire department.

kennedy: does comey add the kerosene? >> he may. this may be one of the things where it turns out there is no collusion with russia. but you are going to end up with obstruction of justice. it's not going to be that trump necessarily did anything wrong, but it will be something that his big mouth ends up getting him in trouble. dagen: the reason this is an outside the beltway story is because of what he said. he said one of the reasons comey got canned was because of the russian investigation. trump is throwing the yeast in this kremlin cake the media is trying to cook up. the president is part of the problem. he might find amusing that it's fake news. but he's keeping the story alive. kennedy: he also has personal lawyers he had to hire to get on

top of the russia story. they told him to stop tweeting about it. dagen: he needs to hire some people inside the beltway who are used to dealing with these investigation. not big city new york lawyers who maybe have relationships with the large russian bank. kennedy: or big mouth trump supporters like corey lewandowski. comedian kathy griffin apologizing after posting a picture of herself holding a mock-up of trump's bloodied severed head. after twitter exploded with a bunch of people on both sides of the aisle expressing disgust, she posted this. >> i sincerely apologize. i'm just now seeing the reactions to these images. i am a comic. i moved the line, then i crossed it.

the image is too disturning it wasn't funny, i get it. kennedy: the president tweeted, kathy griffin should be ashamed of herself. my children, especially 11-year-old barron are having a hard time with it. people have taken to twitter urging the secret service to arre her. was what she did illegal? it was in bad taste. but she is a shock comic looking for attention. >> i don't know what her true motivation was in her apology, maybe it was heartfelt, maybe it was fear of losing work. but everyone is quick to demand an apology. then a lot of people who never want to accept it. i thought as apologies go, this was a pretty good one. she said i understand why what i did was wrong.

and so at a certain point i understand why cnn felt they had to cut ties with her. kennedy: i think cnn will take her back. i think they will let the whole thing blow over. she and anderson cooper have their little new year's franchise which is sub-standard compared to what you see on fox. it's like ryan lochte. everyone piles on and at the end of the day people have sympathy for the perpetrator. >> you wonder what made her think that would be good career move holding the president's bloo head. that humorless bronze of church lady seminism. kennedy: what donna saying we

should blow up the white house. dagen: it shows no one can make a decent joke about president obama anymore because it's all been done. she said now that i'm seeing the reaction -- you didn't know that would be the reaction when you were standing there on set with this blood-covered severed head in your hand. the news visuals signal for contrition is not wearing makeup. so lame, so corny. >> she did in the realize people would react like this. >> she realized she would get a reaction from half the country which is what she wanted. but she found she was pandering to the people. when they turned on her.

it's oh, my god, you are so gross. kennedy: that's way thought when i was tching her apology. dagen: unrecognizable from her original self. kennedy: utah republican senator mike lee joins my in the studio for a call to the end of the filibuster. how our nation's founders fought online u.s. equity trades... ♪ ...you realize the smartest investing idea, isn't just what you invest in, but who you invest with. ♪

kennedy: the clock is ticking towards the summer recess, and president trump doesn't want them to go home empty hand. he says they should switch to 51 votes and get healthcare and tax reform. so won'ting the filibuster accomplish anything before the shot clock runs out on the senate? utah senator mike lee, the author of his latest book,

"written out of history." very nice to see you. you think you should ends the filibuster in the senate? >> i don't. and i don't think it would do anything to the healthcare discussion or tax reform. any one of them can be achieved through senate budget reconciliation. kennedy: what's going to happen to the healthcare bill? >> i think we'll pass something. republicans have been running for 7 years on this saying let us repeal obamacare. let us have control of the house of representatives. those have come about little by little about the last piece coming together in the presidential election. so we need to deliver this for them. kennedy: why don't you get more your fellow lawmakers on your side?

>> i'm work on that eversing day. >> we are trng to pull out all the stops to make sure this gets passed. this has real world consequences for so many people and has to get done. >> they talk about the dozens of millions of people who will lose healthcare it's interesting because you have got other liberty-minded colleagues in the senate, and they say you guys are the most conservative. but you happen to be constitutionalists. which brings us to your book, written out of history. you are a good writer. i found myself getting wrapped up in some of the stories. and a lot of the ideas that we lost sight of. written out of history is about some of the people involved in the process of writing our constitution. but not only are these characters forgotten, so are some of the ideas they stood for. like luther martin who was a cripple some-faced drunk but was

also an anti-federalist. >> he was drunk a lot of the time. he was a good lawyer. one of his clients said i want to reef taken you for this case on the condition you don't drink. he got around it by -- by soak a loaf of bread in liquor and eating it. kennedy: he was worried that's what the constitution was become. i think conservatives and constitutionalists have always owned alexander hamilton as their own. but the left is trying to co-to the hamilton. as you write in the book, leftists have a way of politicizing history.

>> the broadway musical brought a lot of people into hamilton. they say he was four guy. he was less reluctant than centralizing power. but he's no progressive. measured by today's standards, i think he would be a conservative. kennedy: the people i know who note most about alexander hamilton tend to be constitutionalists. lastly i want to ask you about the nsa and the encroachment of government and unwarranted spying on americans. what would james oh is think about it? >> james oh i oat is james o tid be more -- james otis would be

shorified by the nsa. he talked about the abuses by british law enforcement officials by the where its of assistance. he said we are doing important stuff for the government and the king, let us do it, let us into ur house. are not careful, that's what the nsa will become. i don't mean to smear the character of anyone work at the nsa. those who work there are hard-working dedicated people. but we have to keep carefully livmented the power they have as especially as it relates to the american people. we don't want them spying on the american people without a warrant. kennedy: i'll see you on the "outnumbered" couch. everyone should get this work. "written out of history." if you love historical stories about people who had great impact on the constitution you will love this book.

kennedy: chris stirewalt joins me with all the details.

kennedy: before the break i asked who was the first

president to officially have a white house press secretary? the answer is herbert hoover who hired george acreson in 1929 before the world fell apart. sean spicer gave his first tblefg over two weeks. spicer said quote the president is very pleads with his team. however, rumors of a white house staff shakeup continue to swirl. president trump reportedly considering hiring his former campaign manager corey lewandowski as a war room crisis manager. last night the president tweeted, despite the negative press. does the white house need a

shakeup and spell check and who will be part of the shake? joining us is "digital politics" editor chris stirewalt. chris: that was classic tonight show. i feel like i should come out and do a comedy set right now. i do believe it's covfefe. kennedy: i believe it's which hemisphere you are in. chris: which way don't drain go down. kennedy: corey lewandowski is going back in the game. he's suiting up, what role will he have on the team? chris: i have a different lens on this. you can change the staff all want, bring in this person or take out this person. none of it matters until the president empowers someone to succeed. what it requires is to have

around you a relatively small number of people. the civilian government is 2 million people. it's a lot. so you have got 2 million civilian people. you have got 50,000 people in the executive branch whose activities to varying degrees you can direct. then there are 4,000 people that are will at pleasure employees. then a dozen people inside the white house who are supposed to be your key advisors who give you have the sound policy. what this requires for the president to say at least for the chief of staff, i have got your back. you go out and do that and yierl have your back. kennedy: is the berks hemoth the moth himself? chris: her pitted against one

another in fear the sword the president is damaging over their heads will be dropped on their necks. the only way this works is if the president can look at the chief of staff and say want you to go out there and do this, i have got your back. when the press howls, i will say he has my trust and confidence and til might. kennedy: do you any there will be a change in staff? >> reince priebus and his former spokesman sean spicer are the frequent punching bags much others in the administration and sometimes even the president himself. and if you don't -- the chief of staff is suppose to be the gate keep tore the president. he's suppose to be the chief operating officer of the executive branch. he doesn't make big policy decisions. but in terms of who gets to see

the president. he makes the final decisions. kennedy: or she. chris: that the immediate wishes -- super seedsupersoupsupercedes. kennedy: he's like a fleetwood mac song. and that could be problematic. there is so much palace intrigue and gossip swirling around this administration. all we hope is they keep their eyes on the ball of liberty and the ultimate health to this great nation and her economy. all your favorite science fiction movies that depict

aliens cing ar may not be fiction at all. robert bigelow said not only is he absolutely convinced aliens exist, but there is an existing presence on earth. it all might sound like a crazy person. but he worked extensively with nasa and spent millions of dollars researching the matter first hands. how long will it take him to realize andy levy is among us. the party panel is back. welcome back, everyone. john, you are an ordained science writer. are aliens among us? >> if he said so. but i'm mad at "60 minutes" for not getting more data out of them. how do they spend their days?

kennedy: do they become humanoids. >> we know they do abductions and probes. kennedy: but they watch the unedited version where they chase the cops. are you a skeptic on the subject? i agree with him completely. >> science is settled on this. aliens have been here forever. the "new york times" is trying to tell us this is a crazy person. you have got your graze and the greens. don't get me started on the lizard people. >> the elongated skulls they found in south america. >> i don't care what this guy believes. but he's make amazing stuff for

nasa. he basically built these budge pet motels and he's taking the same concept and translating it into space, and by all accounts it's a cool concept. he can believe whatever he wants but he's helping us get off this god-forsaken plan pet and that's all that matters. dagen: why would we be afraid of aliens among us. you go to any bar in hollywood and it's like a scene from the "star wars" bar. and people look like that by choice. they ask their doctors to make them look like that. the silicone like robert bigelow. kennedy: i know.

kennedy: north korea test fired three missiles in as many weeks. so america had an anti-ballistic missile test of its own. the 244 million test run comes as china is apparently putting secret pressure on the hermit kingdom to halt their nuke program. >> at this point i do believe the administration believes china is doing back-channel work

with north korea to get them to stop their testing. kennedy: gordon chang is a columnist at "the daily beast." does this antiicbm test that we launched yesterday in any way deter north korea? >> only a little bit. the north koreans have tests to overcome our system. they launched four missiles simultaneously. that's meant to overwhelm a missile defense system. all they have to do is fire 37 missiles and if we have 36 defense systems, one of them gets through. you have to go to directed technology where you have unlimited reloads. the north koreans will be able

to get something through our missile shield. kennedy: the ambassador talks about china being helpful. but has there been a relationship formed that maybe we don't know publicly between the united states and china that gives us assures china is doing something to shut count missile program and the nuke program? >> it's not so much a relationship. but pat mar-a-lago when the president and xi jinping met, trump launched that missile attack on syria. i think that spooked them and they went to the north koreans not to do their next test. the chinese have not wanted to stop the north korean program because they are firing off missiles faster thanefore.

we need help on nukes and missiles. we need much more from china. kennedy: china can do much more. they have so much leverage being at 90% of north korea's trade. >> the most important thing china gives to north korea is confidence top members of the regime in pong yank yan -- in p. they may hate him, fear him, or want to get rid of them, but they will stay with him because china backed kim jong-un. kennedy: thanks again. coming up. it's so hard to catch a taxi during rush hour in new york. one horse was forced to run to her destination.
