>> that's it for us. thank you so much for watching. sebastian is among our guest tomorrow. please join melissa francis on after the bell every weekday at 4:00 p.m. eastern right here on foxbusiness. good night everybody. >> tonight president trump on the offensive over the russian investigation. do muller's indictment prove there was no collusion? plus, high school students now revising anti-gun rallies across the country. will more gun laws keep our kids safe? is the situation in syria spinning out of control? is a bigger war looming? grab your helmet. we are going in. >> the results are in and russians have tested positive for being meddling cheaters and in a disappointing revelation for impeachment fans, rod rosenstein may play one of. [inaudible] we are doing before the 2016 election. >> there is no allegation in this indictment that any

american was a knowing participant in this illegal activity. there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election. >> hecht. i guess they have to torch those articles of impeachment. adam schiff lost his mind when he heard the charges not only had nothing to do with the trump team, none of it seemed to influence the outcome of the election and now all he can do is retroactively hang the messiah and blame it on president obama. if there is in some big smoking trump gone, what the hell are we doing wasting our time with a bunch of filthy corrupt russians. now that the intelligence community has made it painfully clear these guys were messing around in the midterm already, why are we sitting around waiting for the fate of congress to be swayed by a bunch of depressed. [inaudible] instead of wasting resources spying on the wrong americans and barking up hollow trees,

let's target them. screw with their elections and tell them the proper meaning of the word collusion meaning uncle sam's fist is going to collude with your face. russians are pathological cheaters prayed they can even compete in the olympics under their own flag. they are so corrupt, one of their metal winning curlers was popped for doping. he was a kohler. russia has done enough harm in our home, now it's time to invite them to our digital house of pain and show them the damage the american apparatus can do when you mess with the red, white and blue. ♪ ♪ ♪ the president has been busy on twitter lashing out at the

russian investigation. he said the indictments are proof there was no collusion adding it was the goal of russia to create this disruption and chaos within the u.s. and with all the committee hearings and investigations, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. they are laughing in moscow. get smart america. he also blamed the obama administration for doing nothing to stop the election meddling. joining me now is chris. there are a couple things going on. i think he's right. i'd be frustrated if everything coming back is either a procedural indictment or something that says yes, the russians are really bad but they were just trying to fool us and there really was no collusion, at least according to these latest indictments. having said that, i think the president could hit a bipartisan tone if he came back really hard against russia. >> book.

it took a while to get the president to the point where he was ready to admit that the russians had intervened. maybe it was a 400-pound genius in the basement, maybe it was the chinese, now at least we have bipartisan consent that yes it was the russians doing the hacking and the spanning and so forth. but i have to take a rare issue with you. i seldom would ever take any issue but i feel like you took the wrong lesson from rocky four. what is that. to defeat drago, you cannot cheat like him, you must beat him with the real american stuff. if we get in the business of interfering with other countries elections, not to say that we haven't in the past, but if we do that we lose the moral authority about what it is to be the united states. if we do scummy things like they do, then we become what we have reviled. >> the money refined that. let me just say we have this giant apparatus were we can make people's lives miserable.

we know that because a bunch of americans have been caught up in the net. let's take that apparatus that was designed to target bad guys, realize that russians are bad guys and target them. >> i think the good things about this new indictment, that's what he's doing. that's the point. one of the reasons we been in disagreement for so long in america over this investigation is the fear among republicans that this is the deep state coming to take out trump. this is muller saying okay, can we all agree these are the bad guys, can we all agree these people are bad people trying to interfere with american democratic process that this is the bad stuff and i think using this is a starting point. this is a beginning point. we can all agree everything that is alleged in the indictments is bad. that shouldn't be a controversial position and even the president says yep, that was bad. we can take that and do as you say and say we will eat him with stallone in grit. >> and you want the united states intelligence apparatus to be running around with logs in

the snow, you don't want them. [inaudible] chasing a chicken, lifting bales of hay, all of these things. exactly. you're not a bomb. you're gonna go save humanity and the free world. >> and we are 4 feet shorter than the swedish bad actor. >> so true. >> and then she fell in love with flava slave. so much more to discuss but i know you're busy man so thank you for taking time out of your busy day and night. yesterday morning on some of the sunday shows, sunday morning, ken starr, you might remember him from the monica lewinsky scandal said we cannot let the meddling divide us and we must unite against the common enemy. >> i think we should stop pointing fingers at one another in this country and realize who

the real enemy is. i say enemy. these were spies. they came into our country. they spent millions of dollars, they didn't need to collude with anyone. >> let me bring in my board certified party panel. she is wearing a fantastic dress, she is here joined by democratic strategists and new jersey senate candidate michael hopkins. reason.com associate editor. robbie, i will start with you. i still don't understand why russia would do what they did but i feel like a bunch of people were doing exactly what the russians are accused of. >> that's right. we should keep in mind that we allow people to lobby for different candidates in a democracy where people decide who they want to be president. i urged, i told people that i thought both donald trump and hillary clinton were both both very flawed candidates.

did i interfere? no. the first amendment doesn't say you get free speech unless your russian bot, it says congress shall make no law. >> but there's this weird outrage produces weird thing that people in russia would try to pretend to be americans and write stuff on social media when they assume most americans are getting their information. >> it's sort of a very naturalistic charge that only we people in the united states have any interest on who becomes president of the united states which is what donald trump is accused of, being a nationalist but now his critics are saying we had to be really fearful of russia. the bigger crime i have questions about whether that something so wrong. >> is clearly wrong that we have campaign-finance laws and they say that if you're not an american you can make a donation to campaign.

>> but that's not the issue but do not talk about making donations to campaigns, the talking about stealing identities so they can get drivers license and paypal accounts so they can create the social media count. >> but that's not the only thing the muller and eyman talks about. talks about how russian nationals were using bots and trolls to literally buy facebook ads. >> you're saying what i'm saying which is not what you were initially sang. there's just the difference between a bot trying to put out information on social media which is the wild west, and there's a lot broader set of parameters. there's a difference between buying facebook ads. they're infringing on people's free speech rights.

>> didn't strike down the ability for foreign national to be able to do that. >> but the principal, i'm not so sure this is worth caring about. >> clinical and emotional, break it down. >> one of the things i think we need to look at as a larger picture because i think depending on what kind of sanctions trump puts on this, the bad actors are going to be looked at all over the world. i think we need to send a message to russia because other people in the world are going to be looking to see what kind of punishments we do for meddling in our election. >> back to the u.s. side of the russian investigation, former deputy campaign manager rick gates may be close to a plea agreement with the muller team. he will plead guilty to fraud related charges in the coming days and will testify against his old boss, former trump campaign manager manafort. in return his prison sentence could be as short as 18 months.

no word on whether manafort, who managed the campaign for just three months will change his tweet. the charges against him. this is the word. they have to get to manafort to get trump but it's all this old stuff because they're corrupt people who are attracted like mobs to a camping lamp. >> exactly. what you don't see is evidence of this larger conspiracy involving trump himself. that doesn't mean trump is out of the clear necessarily. i mean investigations can ensnare people if you give answers to questions on the record. >> if there are contradictory answers. >> so it is not over in my mind but we just haven't seen evidence of this massive campaign and conspiracy for

trump to work with the russian. >> gates could have been facing 50 years. what does that tell you. >> it shows that he had something very significant to give up. the question has always been where has donald trump got his money from, especially after atlantic city. gates is one of the few people who was there before he won the gop nomination and made it through the inauguration. he was chair of the inaugural committee. he knows where some of the bodies are, not only with paul manafort but whether there were conversations in that trump meeting and what went on. he does have something to give up. >> okay, but you also know that the president can't be indicted for crime he committed before he took office. >> the presidential immunity is for something that happened in office, not before. >> i don't think you can be indicted for something that i don't think a sitting president can be indicted for something he or she did before they took office. >> what muller will do is have him listed as a co- conspirator.

it will be what happened with nixon. >> that's a big if. >> we don't know. we don't know what's going to happen. we don't know if it's finished, we don't know if the buck stops here, we don't know if all of this leads toward more people who worked underneath donald trump's campaign because all the arrows are pointing toward bad actors that were in the campaign that already had some ties to russia via business or something else. >> and people who were frozen out of every other, these are people who couldn't get any traction in their campaign and they saw they could get a foothold with this trump campaign which was unlike anything anyone had ever seen. there's a lot of potential, a lot of upside but a lot of people were repelled by it. what kind of people were the ones who were magnetized. coming up a little later, while russians are meddling in our

elections, tensions are escalating in syria. first up, president trump meeting with students who survived last week's school shooting. the white house says he has not made a decision about those formal background checks. katie has reaction, next. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

i want you to pick a new truck for your mom or dad, knowing that they could possibly pass it down to you one day. cool. but before you decide, you should know that chevy silverado's are the most dependable, longest lasting full-size pickups on the road. which means that ford f-150s are not. (laughs) which truck would you pick? the chevy. the chevy. the chevy. there you go. boom. that was obvious. plus it looks cooler. no doubt about it. now they know what to get me. (laughs)

welcome back. president trump plans to meet with florida high schoolers and he is going to talk to them on wednesday to discuss calls for tougher gun laws which they were not shy about expressing yesterday. >> what we need to do here is come together not as democrats or republicans but as americans and work together to solve this issue through love and compassion. >> please stop allowing us to be gunned down in our hallways. we want students to be at that march and to be with us. we want to be with those students who we didn't understand their pain before and it's all too tragic that we all have to understand the same pain now. >> of course she was referencing the massive rally against gun violence. they plan to march march 24. a white house spokesperson said the president would be on board for strengthening federal background checks, but it's

unclear what that would entail and it's fair to ask how effective these new laws could be or if they could be enforced given the fbi has admitted their blunder in investigating the shooter. katie joins me now, editor and chief at townhall.com in a fox news contributor. katie, you and i have talked about guns many times, but this shooting, all mass shootings are illuminating and tragic in their own way and this one feels different in that both sides are talking about new ways of reforming, if not gun laws, background checks but how do you feel about that but to those reforms look like. >> we have the usual back-and-forth of blaming the nra and the finger-pointing but it would be nice if we could get past that and to real solutions to the problem. here we have a massive failure of bureaucracy, the fbi has a lot of expanding to do in the sense of how is it that this student was reported twice and he wasn't arrested or talk to by the fbi.

that's a separate issue. >> can i ask a question about that. this is come up in florida governor rick scott has called for christopher ray's resignation. he put forth a statement saying the tip line information was not passed on to the miami field office where there would have been a further investigation. do you think he should resign. >> book. he was not in charge when this call came in. so, i'm not so sure the fbi director is at fault, however the fbi now has a record of missing these things. the charleston church shooter, for example had a charge on his record that should've prevented him from buying a firearm. he went through, the san bernardino shooters, we have over and over again this being missed by the fbi so they have explaining to do about why their system is failing them and in return failing american citizens, american communities at large. getting back to your initial

question about the background check, there are things that can be changed that actually don't necessarily go into the gun-control rome. there's been a lot of talk about mental health. there is one big problem in the united states with the way mental health records are put into the background check system. states are not now required by law to enter in mental health records meaning someone who has been adjudicated or someone who has been committed to a mental institution to put into the background check system. currently people who have been committed to mental institutions are prohibited from buying firearms and it's also a question. >> so that is something they can change. i believe the cornyn bill tries to address that but on the other hand. >> but this kid wasn't institutionalized. >> exactly. that's whether so many problems here and i understand people's frustrations. i understand the students frustrations because they were sitting ducks. they were not adequately detected and they were let down

by their school, local law enforcement, the fbi. if you have cops visiting a house 30 times, three dozen times and not writing anything up, there is something wrong there. >> we've heard a lot from students who want more gun control. there is a right call for that especially everything they been through, however, we are not hearing from a lot of the students were there calling for teachers to be armed. the fact is, in this country schools are some of the softest targets that we have and it's not necessarily just a federal issue. there's number of school districts across the country in states like utah, texas, missouri, colorado that allowed trained teachers to carry concealed inside the school. we always looked to the federal government washington d.c. for solutions, but is not necessarily a federal solution. when you have a pile of regulations that were completely bypassed by the person who committed this heinous crime, adding more bureaucracy on top of that begs the question whether something would be prevented and also there's an

element of human error, inc. till you can take human air out of the equation, that's a problem. >> which is why the background check system is supposed to supersede that and it's supposed to take care of where human beings might be forgetful or were there might be oversight. unfortunately there are flaws and gaps within the background check system and information that should be in there isn't necessarily. >> overall the background check system has been very effective. the fbi did 25 million background checks in 2017 with lawful persons purchasing firearms. there were a number of people who were denied firearms as a result of, convictions, being involuntarily committed to mental institutions, but based on the sheer volume and number of them which could be a resource issue which again the fbi will have to come to the table and explain why this keeps happening so congress can actually do something. >> or there needs to be more transparency so we can see where and how they're spending the

money. we have to go but will definitely continue this. thank you. >> coming up, you want proof that charter schools were? a new study found public charter schools across america are producing results by educating students and saving money. we have reaction after the break.

the merry-go-round of democrats considering a presidential run in 2020 continues to spin with one big name hopping off and another hopping on, former vice president joe biden recently told aides he has not yet made a final decision but a run is a real possibility. meanwhile, oprah winfrey has got people talking about a potential run after her big speech at the golden globe told 60 minutes that running is not in her dna. she said i'm actually humbled by the fact that people think that i could be a leader of the free world, but it's just not my spirit. >> come on. as many as 36 democrats could consider a run in two years. will any of them be able to hold on long enough to beat the current president? during the now washington

examiner, kristin anderson. welcome back. thanks for having me. >> let's talk about joe biden. i think this is really interesting. there is a lot about joe biden that is likable, and in this environment, in this climate, he does a lot better than bernie sanders. he is an upswing, up-tempo, optimistic kind of guy. he has incredible name recognition and surprisingly few deficits considering the people he would run against. what you think about a biden 2020 run. >> i say this as someone who has a soft spot for joe biden. i think scranton joe would have a hard time getting nominated in today's democratic party. this would not be joe biden's first time running for president going back to the 1980s you had joe biden with these aspirations of getting to the white house and over the past few decades, he racked up a very serious and extensive record in public service which includes taking a lot of positions in the '90s on things like remote justice reform that are at odds

with where the modern democratic party is. >> he's a natural greasy politician and he will absolutely pivot and come up with a line to reverse course and i think people will be fine with that considering the climate we are in. >> bernie sanders, by the way, he is no spring chicken but he got a lot of traction in the democratic party. i think the difference is that bernie sanders is someone who is kind of harnessed this far left of populace energy whereas joe biden is more establishment in his feeling so it will depend, do democrats want to go with someone who is from the establishment or do they say look, it didn't work with hillary clinton, let's go dramatically different direction. >> it would've worked with joe biden in 2016 i think he's mad about that and for him it will be a grudge run. >> it's a shame he didn't run. he said he didn't run because he was emotionally exhausted from the tragic death of his son. i think you're right, 2016 may have been the moment. it said the reason why he felt he couldn't put his name in the ring. >> can you imagine when joe

biden and donald trump go head-to-head, the ridiculous things they would both say on the campaign trail, that would be such a gift. >> to the extent that were not already kind of immune to that sort of thing, it would be really fascinating because joe biden is known for not always being politically correct, scranton joe always trying to go for the blue-collar voter, that was trump's bread and butter. if democrats were smart they find a candidate that could eat into that a little bit. i just don't know if joe biden also has enough other pieces of the democratic coalition to really win the nomination. >> well, he's pretty closely tagged to president obama. granted, i would never vote for him, i just think he's a bigger threat than republicans' assume and i think he's someone who

could bring the wings of the democratic party together in an authentic and optimistic way. having said that, i don't think he'd be a great president. thanks so much for being here. >> weathers good news for school choice advocates like myself. a new study out of the university of arkansas looked at public charter schools across eight u.s. cities and found there are 35% more cost-effective than the counterparts because charter schools nee know they need to sd money on students rather than administrators if they want to keep the lights on. will we see more people embracing school choice. the straight-a party panel is back. robbie, let's break down some of these numbers but this is good news because for a while, especially when a lot of charter school start out, it's 5050 at best but then there seems to be improvement after two or three

years. what does the study tell you. >> this is in keeping with the other studies we've seen that generally show an advantage to charter schools but not every study, not all the time but this shows significant positive results in terms of investment. given how much money the charter schools were given, you are getting the most, college attendance, standardized test scores, reading and mathematical achievements, the shows that you can be for public education but not necessarily government administration of schools. you think we should fund education but not that the government has to run it. >> and that they don't have to run every single aspect. also these public charter schools have a much higher parental participation rate and that means parents are more satisfied and more likely to be engaged and that's always better for the end product but you don't like charter school. >> they have a comp located issue because they take up such a small amount of the student body across the country.

>> for now because people like bill the brazeal tried to block them. >> they're not the answer to how to fix our educational system. there definitely a band-aid to what we do. >> are not a band-aid, they are a tool and a choice for some parents who don't want to be forced. >> what about 95% of other students that are in charter schools and we've now diverted public funds to what's basically a private flow rather than fixing a problem in our public school. >> that's not true at all. charter schools operate with curriculum independent but they still get funding from public schools. they are children of public tax schools tickets go to a school they rather be in. why is that so offensive. >> it's not offensive but the problem is it's being diverted, that money is being diverted away from public schools.

>> what happens to bad public schools. >> the students are punished. >> no, they get more money. bad charter schools fail and go out of business. bad public schools get more money and continue to fail. that is so deeply offensive to me as a parent. >> the last five years 1100 charter schools have closed. that money is money that could have been used to better fund education. >> no, it just shows that's how the market works. when something is bad it closes for the great charter schools were parents are really happy and kids do better, they thrive. that's where you have a higher return on investment and that's how the system is refined. [inaudible] >> i sent to my children to public charter schools. i sent them. we did not apply. when you're talking about public charter schools, that is right. neither are all schools, especially the crappy public

ones were kids minds go to die. >> noel. >> sometimes you have to divert from democratic talking points and look at the situation and realize that public schools, the only remedy they use is throwing more and more and more cash. >> but you cannot deny the fact that charter schools block of school choice, school vouchers, all this work because they put the focus back on the student. they don't have the fancy buildings, they don't put money on bad teachers, there's more teacher union. >> there's a lot of democrats in favor of charter. >> i just don't think we are spending money efficiently either way. whether it's a charter school or public school. >> when you spend less money and get better results, that is by definition spending money more efficiently read but that's a continued conversation for another day. thank you very much. i love these hot discussions. >> coming up, heating up in the middle east with russia warning the u.s. to back off and it

comes just after american airstrike. who were those people. i'll talk about all that, next.

i sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis

call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. [fbi agent] you're a brave man, your testimony will save lives. mr. stevens? this is your new name. this is your new house. and a perfectly inconspicuous suv. you must become invisible.

[hero] i'll take my chances. >> the slippery slope toward world war iii just took another dangerous turn. the russian prime minister

issued a warning to the u.s. today saying the u.s. should stop playing very dangerous games which could lead to the dismemberment of the syrian state. it's pretty dismembered right now. that's comes a week after airstrikes killed up to 200 russian mercenaries in syria but who is controlling the mercenaries and are they affiliated with the russian military command. jenny is now is lieutenant colonel ralph peters. welcome back. >> am back in the ring. >> very nice. before we tell all, let's talk about this but this whole story is so strange. both sides really tightlipped about it. up to 200 russian mercenaries killed. were they fighting, did they attack the kurdish base at the behest of the kremlin? >> there is no way on earth, it's impossible for that event

to have occurred without vladimir putin's personal approval. he was clearly testing us. as far as foreign secretary, that we are playing with fire, as a wire or interest games, i say the dangerous game was sending 500 russian mercenaries along with syrian thugs in armor and artillery to attack a curtis base of u.s. advisors. >> they know the u.s. is advising them so why would they do that? >> i think putin was trying to see if we would have the guts to respond. if we let him just walk over the kurds and also, there were oilfields in the area, and syria hasn't got a lot of oil but what they have really matters to the state so this was a twofer. they would see if america would really ante up and fight back but they'd also, if we didn't respond, grab the oilfields from the kurds so i just go back to this. whatever else we can argue about it, in the russian system

there's no way it could've happened without vladimir putin's approval. they said only five russians died. if only five russians died, if only one was there, it wouldn't happen without vladimir putin's approval. that's not the way their system works. >> and there being really cagey about that number and it's leaving the widows and the family quite sad and confused because they want to know what happened to their husbands and sons and fathers. >> indeed. that's a very good point. just today, there was a russian report of a mother who wants her son to have military honors because although here, russian mercenaries are compared to blackwater, blackwater was never a branch of the u.s. government and this group of mercenaries, it's an auxiliary, it's a false

flag organization, set up to give russia implausible denial, have them do the dirty work rather than russian troops. in fact there is a bizarre funding through vladimir putin's friends, it's an arm of the russian security services. >> a lot more questions than answers and i appreciate you shedding light on it. please come back so we can discuss further. passengers went from beating this note to beating each other. that's next. today, innovation in the finger lakes is helping build the new new york. once home to the world's image center, new york state is now a leader in optics, photonics and imaging. fueled by strong university partnerships,

today is february 19. it's presidents' day or as hillary kling called it monday. although with no work and no responsibility, it should really be called vice presidents day. that's neither here nor there because this is here. this is a tropical storm. very nice. topic number one. american idol is no longer airing embarrassing audition videos and we finally figured out why. it's because there showing them at the nba all-star game instead. check out fergie going full william hung before last night's

game. ♪ ♪ ♪ carl lewis was like man that sucked. fergie famously sang big girls don't cry and apparently they don't take singing lessons either. her rendition was so bad that colin kaepernick stood up and walked out. he was like man, let's protest somewhere else. social media has been brutal but in her defense, the national anthem is supposed to get everyone fired up to start game and never had two teams been more ready to start than ten seconds into that anthem. there were like let's get it

started. for the love of god. topic number two. carnival cruise line, they are inviting you to take a ten day cruise so you can kick back at fellow passengers. no, this is not an episode of the real housewives of new jersey, it's an episode from the carnival legend where 23 person family was reportedly attacking fellow passengers at random moments throughout the cruise. the family was a lot like the crab dip at the buffet. you never know when they're gonna hit you. they scheduled landing so cops could remove the family and carnival has since given all passengers a 25% credit toward a future cruise. sorry about your husband mrs. lincoln, here are two tickets to saturday's game to can come back and join us again. topic number three. presidents' day is all about
