4:00 pm
i didn't know we were going to be doing that, but you're getting a far better glimpse than you're getting right now. but the border wall is truly our first line of defense, and it's probably if you think about it our first and last, other than the great ice agents and other people moving people out. it will save thousands and thousands of lives. save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars by reducing crime, drug flow, welfare fraud, and burdens on schools and hospitals. the wall will save hundreds of billions of dollars. many, many times what it's going to cost. we must also close the deadly loopholes exploited by smugglers and traffickers. and we're in that area. we're in one of the many areas along the border where we had that problem. and we have to confront the dangerous sanctuary cities, which you've been all hearing so much about. california's sanctuary policies put the entire nation at risk.
4:01 pm
the best friend of the criminal. that's what exactly is happening. the criminals take refuge in these sanctuary cities, and it's very dangerous for our police and law enforcement folks. the smugglers, the traffickers, the gang members, they're all taking refuge, and i think a lot of people in california understand that and a lot of people from a lot of other places understand it, and they don't sanctuary cities. these policies release dangerous criminal offenders to prey on innocent people and nullify the federal law, they're threatening the security and the safety of the people of our country. in the up coming budget bill, congress must fund the border wall and prohibit grants to sanctuary jurisdictions that threaten the security of our country, and the people of our country. we must enforce our laws and protect our people.
4:02 pm
and i have to say, law enforcement, ice, border patrol, all the people that have been so good to me for so long, they're really doing a job. but our job, and i think we all understand, the job would be a lot easier if we aren't protecting criminals in the sanctuary cities. we had a great talk about it inside. cooperation with mexico is another crucial element of border security. dhs coordinates closely with the mexican law enforcement, and we must absolutely build on that cooperation both countries recognize the need to stem the flow of drugs and cash. i have a great relationship with the president of mexico. enrique. terrific guy. we're going to work things out. we'll see whether or not it happens. i don't know if it's going to happen. he's a very good negotiator. he loves the people of mexico,
4:03 pm
and he's working very hard. we'll see what happens. but we have to obviously have a couple of disagreements before we get there. you'll see over the next month whether it take place in this administration, meaning his administration to have an election coming up. to have some very good people running, and they have some that maybe aren't so good. in any event, we'll handle it. i want to, again, thank everyone for being here today, and i want to, again, call on congress to deliver a budget that protects our homeland and properly funds all of our law enforcement needs. i want to thank the secretary. i want to thank ice and the border patrol agents for their incredible work, and their incredible bravery. i want to thank all of law enforcement on the border. it's a dangerous job. it's a tough job. and if you didn't have even these remnant walls. we call them remnant. they've been here for a long
4:04 pm
time. people don't say that. but they've been here for a long time. if you didn't have them, you would have crime in numbers that far surpass the numbers that you see today. we've cut down and way down on crossings, border crossings because of the job that the border patrol does. and the ones that get through, we've gotten out. ms13, we're taking them out by the thousands. but we don't want them here in the first place. we don't want them to come in. so this was really a day where we look at the different prototypes of the wall. you've seen them, the media's seen them. and some work well. some don't work so well. when we build, we want to build the right thing. interestingly the ones that work the best aren't necessarily so expensive. something i think about that ring. so i want to thank everybody for being here. i want to thank, frankly, the media for being here. and we'll let the people of our country know that we need safety. we need security at the border, and we're getting it. like we've never had it
4:05 pm
before. but we want to make it perfecto. thank you, all very much and thank you. >> thank you. thank you, everyone. >> just quickly thank the president so much for his continued leadership, as he says, ice put their lives on the line every day to protect our country. for that, i'm forever grateful. serve as a service secretary and also as an american, and we will build this wall. so thank you for coming out today. we're building up a toolkit based on what we've learned from the research and development of prototypes, and we look forward to breaking ground very soon and to our country. so thank you, again, to the president for his continued leadership. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> will you detail a bill with no punishment for sanctuary cities? >> we're going to see. we're going to look it. we're looking at it very, very strongly. sanctuary cities are protecting a horrible group of people in many cases. criminals. and what happened as an example in oakland was a disgrace to our nation, and we just can't let that happen.
4:06 pm
thank you very much. melissa: okay. you can see president trump there after talking about border security there at some examples of what could be the wall. david: exactly. this is an area, by the way, a part of san diego. it's in the southern part of san diego. just a stone's throw from tijuana where, of course, the wall's separating tijuana and mexico. the president seeing all those walls displayed out there trying to figure out which one's best and which one would be most cost efficient. very important. melissa: he made the point that some of the ones that are most expensive don't work as well as the ones that are cheaper, and he loves that the most because he's all about being cost effective. and as you can see as he walked away, he was asked a question about sanctuary cities, and he was going to tie a punishment about sanctuary cities, and he mentioned he didn't like what went on in oakland. david: very important point. and, of course, it would be the prerogative if he decides to use it to with hold federal
4:07 pm
funding for some of these cities that do qualify themselves as sanctuary cities. so there is a lot to report on. the president's going to be there all day, by the way. a lot of events throughout the hour. so keep it here on fox business. we're going to be coming back to the president as he tours the facilities in california. there are even some protesters out there, so it should be interesting. melissa: surprising. i'm melissa francis. david: i'm david asmand. marking a 340-point swing today. finally it closed down as you can see about 172 points. it's off the session lows, but it was positive at the beginning of the day. all the major averages ending in the red. let's go to nicole petallides at the new york stock exchange. nicole, when we started today, there was good news on inflation, good news about larry kudlow, which pleased a lot of folks in the market. and then the market went south. why? >> listen, i mean, you had volatility. interestingly enough, we did
4:08 pm
start off, as you're pointing out, david, that we did start up about 200 points on the day. but the news started to break, people started to discuss, and the tech stock started to turn over. the big picture is that for the month, you still have the nasdaq and the s&p in the green. but the dow has since turned into the red for the month of march. at the top, we're about 200, at the bottom down 231. come under some pressure. ge weighed on the dow. don't forget we have a very heavily-weighted stock market on the dow. caterpillar, boeing, ge. they weigh. ge is down 4.5% on this jp morgan note where they cut the price of the target and basically said ge is highly leveraged and the selling off assets is no longer a safety stock. even executives aren't taking bonuses. the stocks sold off and that's why you see them down 4.5%. taking a look at the s&p 500,
4:09 pm
that's down. the idea that the inflation story was that we won't have these big, fast rising interest rates because inflation's not that bad. but you did see all the financials did finish to the downside. but they're all up this year about 10% roughly across the board. and a quick look at tech. and this has been something that's holding us up. not today. for example, microsoft hit a high but then turned into the red. netflix, twitter, facebook, alphabet, google, they're all to the downside. but we did see amazon and microsoft hit high intraday. melissa: nicole, thank you. david: here's one thing weighing on the markets today. the trump administration's committee foreign investment in the u.s. one thing known as to kill the 171 billion-dollar deal to take over qualcomm. this after the president has touted broadcom for moving its operations over here to the u.s. take a listen. >> broadcom limited is moving its headquarters from singapore back to the united
4:10 pm
states. so i want to thank you very much. they're moving back to the united states and to the united states. something very, very special and very important. david: you can see that was back in november. long before this decision to kill the deal. let's bring in today's panel gary from capital management and james freeman from the wall street journal. they're both fox news contributors. gary, i've got to think that after this news after killing the broadcom deal, they may think twice about moving to the u.s. >> you know, potentially, and i think markets could be reacting to it. you have to remember. this is not the first one. lattice semiconductor and there's big competition with china and china buying companies here, and i think that does weigh in markets when governments do get involved. david: james, let me read for you steve mnuchin's statement and what it could mean for broadcom. this decision is based on the facts and national security
4:11 pm
sensitivities related to this only. it is not intended to make any other statement about broadcom or its employees, including its thousands of hard-working and highly-skilled u.s. employees. again, it looks like the administration is trying to keep broadcom here. maybe expand its operations here. but when you think of this decision having killed something that they had their eyes set on, they may think twice about it. >> yeah. it's a concern. this is a tough call. i think you look at the steel decision, and that's kind of a joke as a national security argument. we really don't need to verdict of guilty intervene. but when you're talking about the heart of the wireless communications networks, i don't think the government is being paranoid to say we need to look down the road and make sure that china doesn't end up controlling them. china does not control broadcom. the concern is what happens to these assets? a lot of high level technology for wireless networks, once it gets into broadcom's hands.
4:12 pm
and this is going to be an ongoing issue. while the chinese wireless telcom firm is one of the world's largest. are they going to take over our communications networks? and how are they going to do that? david: gary, i'm going to put it in a nutshell if i can. here's what the administration is afraid of, i believe. it's that broadcom still has connections with the asian market. if they get qualcomm, they're going to get all of this information that qualcomm har working on, and they may use that with their connections with asia to sort of take over the market. the 5g market. that's of concern to u.s. security interest. >> absolutely. and let's added one other component here. there's going to be a 100 billion-dollar debt component if the deal gets done. r&d goes down. you lose the rates for 5g to others. so there's definitely an issue here. but, again, the overall, for
4:13 pm
me, is a little bit too much government, government, government, and you get to worry about this because valuations go up when buyouts happen. evaluations go down when buyouts get blocked. david: people are worried about the chinese as well. >> absolutely. david: gary and james, good to see you, my friends. melissa. melissa: rex tillerson speaking to the press earlier in his first remarks since being let go by president trump this morning. looking toward the future and highlighting his accomplishments during his time at the state department. here now with the latest from the state department is our very own adam shapiro. adam. >> and the transition is underway. rex tillerson has transferred his responsibilities, his duties, his ability to have authority to deputy secretary of state state john sullivan. he did address the press. he did not take any questions. we were told by staff close to tillerson that he find out that he had been fired as did the nation from a tweet from president trump. and in regards to that, of
4:14 pm
course, was talking about his support by mike pompeo because they see more eye to eye. the president this morning saying that he wants to tear up the deal with iran and that pompeo is onboard with that. mr. tillerson, the president said was not. but here's what mr. tillerson said was one of the issues that the united states has to deal with. it has to deal with china. and fox business last week confirmed that the administration is looking at imposing new tariffs against chinese products as a retaliation for the theft of intellectual property. here's what rex tillerson during the briefing today around 2:00 p.m. >> much work remains to establish a clear view of the nature of our future relationship with china. how should we deal with one another over the next 50 years and ensure a period of prosperity for all of our peoples free of conflict between two very powerful nations. >> now, there was also a statement that was put out this morning by an undersecretary steve goldstein
4:15 pm
in which he was talking about mr. tillerson had been planning to remain on the job. and was a bit caught by surprise. mr. goldstein was fired for contradicting the white house events. back to you. melissa: wow. adam shapiro, thank you. here to react to all of that, former george w. bush senior staffer. i thought it was interesting the criticism are that came today. some people said, well, you know, this is the president. you know, only putting in people who will agree with him. and then other criticism saying, well, now he's looking at someone who is against tariffs just the same way that his former national economic adviser was against tariffs. it's sort of like he's going to get criticized no matter what he does. >> that's being the president of the united states. you can't please all the people all the time. but i can to assure you the
4:16 pm
president surrounds himself with people with different opinions. you can see that the president likes the give-and-take amongst subordinates. but here's the problem. subordinates can disagree with the president all they want. but once the president makes a decision, everybody has to move with the president. there can't be high-level officials that are at odds with the president privately or publicly once a decision is made. and there are a couple of golden rules in washington. one is that you serve at the pleasure of the president. and two is that service to the president is a opportunity, not a career. and three is don't overstay your welcome. and i think tillerson could have easily scripted his own departure. and he didn't read the tea leaves, and he didn't see what was going on, and was forced out. melissa: there's also an interest of having incompatible styles and disagreeing. rex tillerson, and i thought he was trying to be stately when he was out there. but it seems he was low energy rep
4:17 pm
the same way. as opposed to jeb bush one of the first things that the president said about mike pompeo is that he was energized, intellectual, and it seems that they have the same sort of vest going. what do you think of that analysis? >> look, i think sometimes opposites attract and make a very good -- melissa: and sometimes not. >> and sometimes not. and with this president, i think he wanted somebody who was a real cheerleader to go out and spirit the president's decisions. and not be so obstructionist. look, our adversaries and our friends know when somebody has juice or not. melissa: yeah. >> i've been to 58 countries with the president and vice president of the united states. i know that so much of decisions that are taken in other capitals depend on the people that they're magnet with. melissa: do you think it's fair to say that this is the white house in chaos? or that this is the white house getting things in order to go and work on north korea? because you can definitely make a case for both?
4:18 pm
>> well, this is always going to be an unorthodox white house. there's no question about it. it's not a cookie cutter west wing. but you can't argue with success. the president has had success at home, and he's had success abroad. why? because he's so direct. no leader sits down with donald trump and says i wonder what he's thinking. he tells you exactly what he's thinking. melissa: brad, thank you. david: you bring up a great point which is that north korea is coming and who would you rather have? rex tillerson or pompeo who has the cia connections in north korea? that's a great point. well, president trump just wrapping up his visit to the border surveying prototypes for the wall amid protests for and against his plans. he's going to be making a big speech in san diego within the next hour. we are going to take you there live. you won't miss a thing. keep it right here prudential asked these couples: how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep --
4:19 pm
oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. are finding themselves morin a chevroletple for the first time. trying something new can be exciting. empowering. downright exhilarating. see for yourself why chevrolet is the most awarded and fastest growing brand, the last four years overall. switch into a new chevy now. current qualified competitive owners and lessees can get this 2018 chevy equinox for around $199 a month. chevrolet. find new roads.
4:22 pm
melissa: awaiting president trump, the commander-in-chief to make remarks at marine core air phosphorus station miramar after reviewing prototypes of his proposed border wall. here now from miramar, the top gun territory is fox news william. very cool, william. >> i just basically lost your audio, but i think you just came to me. as you said, this is actually the former top gun school. but i want to tell you that the easy part for the president is now over. seeing the border prototypes. now he has to convince congress to give him money for the next phase. so let's talk about that. he spent about 45 minutes, 50 minutes down there. he's going to speak to about 5,000 members of the military. all branches of military here. we expect them, obviously, to talk about the wall but also to talk about sanctuary cities. he's going to basically say
4:23 pm
that california's currently sheltering dangerous criminals, putting both police and the public at risk. so what's next for the wall, if you will? well, number one, the testing is done, the evaluation is underway. we expect findings by the end of the month. each one has a pro and con. each border sector has basically said this is what we want. this is how many miles we need. it will depend, of course, of topography and soil. so what you get in brownsville will not will be what you get in san diego. the president indicated the most preferred style is the bollard style with concrete on top and the antiscaling rounded top. number one that let's agencies see what's coming at them and rocks coming over and that thing. and that style is very consistent with 350 miles of existing fence. of course, you have some of the old style the landing from vietnam. but also the fence that's putting in right now or wall if you will that term being
4:24 pm
very controversial is similar to what the president prefers. only this one is taller and the concrete on top instead of steel. now congress, he wants $3 billion for 60 miles this year and 64 miles next year. texas would be first. and today, he says what we currently have is inadequate, and here's what they say. >> that wall they can get over very easily. these walls you can't. if you didn't have walls over here, you wouldn't even have a country. >> so now he'll talk about sanctuary cities here as well and says when the state refuses to honor detainer or a hold if you will that puts the public and police at risk, obviously, and when you warn them, it's even worse because now the criminal aliens have an opportunity to arm themselves and put the agents in further danger. he says basically what's working now isn't in terms of just looking at the most egregious cases. he's saying, hey, one dui is
4:25 pm
enough. if you overstay your visa, that's enough for you to be deported. whereas california sanctuary cities, of course, want to set their own standards as to only the most violent convicted criminal aliens. the president says that's wrong. he is 100% committed to challenging the sanctuary state and is asking congressman take away what money they can. protests going on not far from the border wall side of the prototype site. california calling itself the resistance, even governor jerry brown saying that the state is at war with the administration right now. the president was critical of jerry brown saying he's doing a lousy job. we actually had a congressman yesterday say that the president is not welcome in california because of what he represents. obviously, california, and washington on very different plain if you will when it comes to climate, culture, guns, and many other things. the senate has seven open seats in california. not popular with the state, but he is with this crowd.
4:26 pm
he'll be leaving here later today for a fundraiser in beverly hills for the owner of the tampa bay buccaneers. melissa: i'm assuming surf's up in san diego because there aren't too many protesters there. it must be a nice day at the beach. david: more crumbs to quote nancy pelosi for your pocket. phase two of tax cuts could be on the way. the very latest from president trump. and diane black, a member of the house weighs and means committee tell us what a phase two might look like two, one, fadeaway. that was awful. why are you so good at this? had a coach in high school. really helped me up my game. i had a coach. math. ooh. so, why don't traders have coaches? who says they don't? coach mcadoo! you know, at td ameritrade, we offer free access to coaches
4:27 pm
and a full education curriculum -- just to help you improve your skills. boom! that's lesson one. education to take your trading to the next level. only with td ameritrade. : polident is specifically designed to clean a denture. the wonderful thing about polident is the fact that it's very, very tough on bacteria, yet it's very gentle on the denture itself. polident's 4 in 1 cleaning system consists of 4 powerful ingredients that work together to deep clean your denture in hard to reach places. it kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and it helps to remove stains. polident should be the first choice of every person that wears a denture, to clean their denture.
4:29 pm
4:30 pm
[laughter] >> we're serious about that, kevin, but kevin brady is a spectacular person and did an incredible job with the tax cuts. david: so did our next guest. president trump hinting a phase two tax cut could be on the way. here is representative diane black who sits on the house ways and means committee, that writes the tax bills. what would a phase two look like, representative? >> i haven't spoken to the president personally about it, but i can tell you this, we are very excited about what's happening with what we've done up to this point in time, it's always room to look back. i can tell you this, it's not going to be 31 years before we look back and say we need to do a little more. we are always listening to see what is working and what may need to be touched a little bit more. we'll wait and see what the president and the chairman has in mind. david: let me throw something out there and see if it works for you. a lot of people were complaining that the tax cut, as wonderful as it's been in terms of the effects on the
4:31 pm
economy didn't do enough on the individual side. the top individual rate didn't come down enough to invigorate entrepreneurship on a broad level as some of the reagan tax cuts did, and maybe that's what the president is talking about in phase two. does that sound right to you? >> as you know, we had a lot of discussion about that. we spent a lot of time talking about where we could go with the top tax rate, and we understand that at the top tax rate have the money to invest and the economy grow. this is an area that will continue to have discussion. david: now, who would be better to help the president implement something like this than larry kudlow. i just throw this out there. his name, the president mentioned him specifically this morning as a replacement for gary cohn, the chief economic adviser of the president. do you think, i know it's not your decision, but do you think larry would be a good person to put through a phase two of a
4:32 pm
tax cut? >> well, i know larry well and had an awful lot of time to be able to sit down around the table and talk to him about his experience as an economist. he is a brilliant man. i think he would be a perfect pick. i don't know whether larry will accept that or entertain it, but i can tell you he and art laffer are two of my best friends and they do a great job. i turn to them and ask them for their personal opinion as i'm making decisions here, at the federal level and the state level. david: if you win the governorship you may be dealing a lot with art laffer, he lives in tennessee, right? >> art, is my adviser on economic policies right now. i did draft him for that. i very, very much appreciate the ton of intelligence they print, the history they bring, they have a lot of great experience with the economy. david: representative, i have to ask you something a little out of your bailiwick, the secretary of state is stepping down, rex tillerson, replaced with mike pompeo who i guess
4:33 pm
you worked with in congress. what do you think about all this? there was distance between the president and rex tillerson on couple of issues like the iran deal, like climate change, et cetera, it was a good move? what do you think? >> mike pompeo who was a classmate of mine in 2010 is a very bright man, he will do an excellent job as he has at the cia. we all know when a president has his administration be brought together that those who work for him must think the way he does and follow through on his policies. this is not unusual, as has happened in previous administrations where you come in with one person and as time goes on, you find that maybe you're moving into a different area, a different segment where you may not agree completely. and there has to be synergy between that individual and the president. i don't think we should make too much of this. we want to thank rex tillerson for what he's done, he's done a good job. we're moving into a new phase where the president is more in
4:34 pm
line with him on the next phase. david: representative diane black, say hi to art for us. >> i will do that. david: thank you very much. >> appreciate it. melissa: president trump giving a sneak peek for prototypes of border wall. coming up later on, he's going to deliver a speech from the border. plus a few hours left to vote in pennsylvania amid a new warning from the g.o.p. >> we have to mobilize our base. trump voters to to stay engaged. they can't be fat and happy because we're winning. they have to stay in the game. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad.

4:38 pm
. melissa: pennsylvania heads to the polls in a highly contested special election for the house seat. the president tweeting his support for the republican candidate this morning, saying the economy is raging at an all-time high and is set to get even better, jobs and wages up. vote for rick saccone and keep going. here now, from the polls, in pennsylvania is our very own connell mcshane. connell? reporter: there's been so much talk, melissa, about this race leading up to this, maybe possible implications to the midterms, national implications and what have you. i'm telling you on the ground, the people doing the voting and the running in the race are telling us don't read too much into that. it's a local race, local issues, local candidates, one
4:39 pm
the republican you mentioned, the president tweeted about rick saccone, 60 years old, state legislator. claims he was trump before trump, he's running a close race in a district the president won by nearly 20 points. when he showed up this location to vote earlier, that was the question. take a listen. >> it's an open seat. come on. i'm a political scientist. democrats are trying their best to throw everything they can at this race, this hasn't been an open seat for a long time. they're going to do everything they can to get there. reporter: both sides to be fair doing everything they can, a lot of outside republican money coming in as well. the question is will that be enough to help saccone. running against this 33-year-old democrat connor lamb. former prosecutor, former marine as well. he's not only running against saccone, he's running against his own party, he has spoken out against nancy pelosi, spoken out on the president's
4:40 pm
tariffs on steel and aluminum. when we watched him vote in mount lebanon, he was careful to think this was not necessarily a referendum on the president adding this. >> i think it says a lot about democratic enthusiasm around here. people are really excited for this race, and i'm happy that their voices are heard all around the world today. but this is a local race, people are voting for either me or rick saccone i don't think has anything to do with it. reporter: as always, melissa, comes down to turnout, whether the trump supporters turn out for saccone is a question and talking to the political insiders around here, they say connor lamb has done a great job of taking the rank and file union members leaning republican in the last 10, 15 years and bringing them back to the democratic party. we'll see if it's enough. melissa: he was trump before trump was trump. i don't know about that! [laughter]. melissa: we got a good laugh out of that one.
4:41 pm
david: a tough sell. no evidence of collusion, house intel committee republicans closing the door on the investigation, white house democrats are calling foul play. congressman chris stewart joining us next. stay with us. how do you win at business? stay at laquinta. where we're changing with contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander with a double palm grab. who has the upper hand now? start winning today. book now at lq.com.
4:44 pm
. david: no collusion, gop house intel members concluding investigation finding no coordinating between the trump campaign and moscow. republicans will send reports to democrats before releasing the findings. joining us is representative chris stewart, member of the house intel committee. congressman, it wasn't just the question of whether republicans were working with the russians. there were a lot of questions whether democrats were working with the russians through fusion gps, which may have relied upon russians to get information for the trump dossier, was that looked into? >> we were, that wasn't the focus. the irony is extraordinarily
4:45 pm
rich, some of my democratic colleagues may wish when this is over they never started this investigation. no one can be terribly surprised we didn't find evidence of collusion between trump campaign officials and the russians. do you think there was evidence of that, and some of my democratic colleagues said yeah, there's evidence, we can't share it with you. my heavens, who believed that at this point. david: with all the leaking that goes on in washington and all of the conviction on the part of some of these democrats to find collusion, if there was a smidgen, don't you think we would have known it by now? >> we're going to leak everything except the key piece of evidence. no one is surprised by. this dianne feinstein said this, general clapper said it, senator burr said it, and the american people are willing to look at it and say if there's no evidence, and if i can make a point, we have accused people of essentially treason. this isn't just jaywalking, that's one of the reasons we
4:46 pm
wanted to release this to be fair to those individuals. we want to remove the cloud. these are serious accusations. if they're innocent, they deserve to be told that, for the american people to know that. david: of greater concern to a lot of people who are watching is whether or not certain agencies of the u.s. government; namely, the fbi, the department of justice and even the state department were involved in an effort to get donald trump out of the white house, to use powers to do that. is that in the purview of your investigation, because it could involve, as i mentioned before, through fusion and the trump dossier, the russians? >> that was the main purpose of the memo we released, was the fbi diligent? were they honest? were they presenting information before the fisa courts while actively trying to hide critical parts of that information. i talked with a number of federal judges, they would have been furious if they had been presented this information, and some of this was hidden from them. by the way, that's the reason the fisa court is secret, so
4:47 pm
they can present everything, there is no reason they shouldn't have been more straightforward. and that's where our investigation will continue to look. david: congressman, forgive me for interrupting, we have 30 seconds. the appointment or the nomination of gina haspel to be the next director of the cia, she would replace mike pompeo who will go to be secretary of state, a number of people, particularly on the left, though she's received full support from republicans and democrats, who worked for the cia before, some people on the left say because of her background, working with rendition, being in charge of a facility in thailand that may have used waterboarding, she's unfit for the office. your choice? >> she is a great choice, as is mike pompeo, both great leaders. they have the background and the capabilities to lead the cia. i think it's an indicator of the divisive time we live in. there are some people -- you could appoint mother teresa to
4:48 pm
government position and they would oppose her. they're going to reflexively oppose almost anyone the president puts forward and i think she's a great choice, actually. david: congressman, great to see you, thank you very much for being here. >> you bet. melissa: securing the border, president trump set to speak to members of the military after reviewing several wall prototypes. we'll take you there live just as soon as it happens. finally. hey ron! they're finally taking down that schwab billboard. oh, not so fast, carl. ♪ oh no. schwab, again? index investing for that low? that's three times less than fidelity... ...and four times less than vanguard. what's next, no minimums? ...no minimums. schwab has lowered the cost of investing again. introducing the lowest cost index funds in the industry with no minimums. i bet they're calling about the schwab news. schwab. a modern approach to wealth management.

basket for trump supporters. hillary clinton taking the 2016 blame game slamming president trump and his voters again. >> i won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward, and his whole campaign, make america great again, was looking backwards. you know, you didn't like black people getting rights, you don't like women getting jobs. melissa: here now is kayleigh mcenany and jehmu greene, former dnc chair candidate, she's also a fox news contributor. jehmu, do you agree with what she said? she went on and said if you look at the area that are producing gdp, you know, that those people voted for her. i don't know, what was your take on that? >> my take is that hillary clinton is speaking her truth,
4:53 pm
and as a private citizen, she has every right to do that, melissa. i think when you look at how loud president trump was when he was a private citizen, no one had a problem with it. look, this is her right, and i than it's really convenient that the number of times that president trump has talked about hillary clinton since he defeated her, the number of times the republican national committee will turn to hillary clinton as a talking point, we need to shift from that conversation, and talk about what the president is doing. hillary clinton is making speeches, she's on vacation! she's on vacation. less vacation than this president takes. melissa: she's not on vacation because she's out making money. my question is why isn't she on vacation, kayleigh, she has more money than god. >> come on, that's not fair.
4:54 pm
melissa: she does. she has hundreds of millions of dollars. in the rest of that speech, when she went on, she sounded so angry and so bitter, and i wonder if you're that distressed, why, why, why -- take a break, get away from it. that's what doesn't make sense to me about it. take a moment to heal and pull yourself back together. why continue to go out there and sound really bitter because she doesn't -- that's work for her, she earns a ton of money doing those speeches. i don't know that you need it. what do you think, kayleigh? >> right, hillary clinton spends vacations insulting the american people. think about how backwards and messed up this is. she is on foreign soil, she is insulting vast swaths of americans in a deeply personal way. this is not hillary's truth, this is an outright lie. this does nothing to bring us together, tears us apart, this is the reason she lost the
4:55 pm
election, the deplorable, irredeemable comment lost it for her, she's insulting americans. melissa: when he says he doesn't want women to work, as a woman, i don't feel that way. she's the one who said she didn't want to be making cupcakes at home or whatever that was. i don't know how she ascribes that he doesn't want women to work, a lot of women working around him. i'm not saying he's -- >> melissa, as a woman, i'm not in the business of calling another woman who's speaking her truth, angry and hurt -- melissa: what does that mean [indiscernible] . melissa: what does that mean? >> well, let me say it this way. one of the reasons i like kayleigh so much, because we go back to when kayleigh was book me on mike huckabee's show.
4:56 pm
i watched her rise, you become the spokesperson of the rnc -- melissa: we have to listen to the president. >> that is the definition, exactly what kayleigh has done herself. melissa: okay. [cheers and applause] >> here today to celebrate your incredible achievements. relax and let's have a good time for a couple of minutes. okay?

4:58 pm
>> and camp pendleton, i want you to know how proud we are of everything you do and, you know, we have general kelly here, four star and he's doing a great job in washington. >> [applause] i think he likes what you do better than what he does but he's doing a great job. he misses you. your devotion fills our allies and our families with confidence your courage fills our enemies with dread. >> [applause] >> and your example inspires countless young americans who dream of being the best to some day wear the uniform of the united states marines. >> [applause] >> all of you know the truth of the famous saying. once a marine, always a marine.
4:59 pm
>> [applause] >> now, i have to say the army, air force, navy, coast guard, you're great too. you know, we have a couple of them scattered -- >> [laughter] >> but i'm with you all the time today with those marines, i gave a speech recently at the coast guard academy it was so great and between annapolis, and west point air force academy we've done them all and we're doing them so we'll see you guys very soon but today, i hate to say it , congratulations and i'm proud to say that we have several really tough marines serving in our administration so not only john kelly but defense secretary. now did anyone ever hear of mad dog mattis? no. >> [applause] >> he's doing a great job chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general fighting joe dun ford, you know fighting joe.
5:00 pm
>> [applause] >> and our new director of the secret service and veteran of the third marine aircraft wing, general, you know general, do you know him? big general tex-a, right we know him, so thank you, our administration is stacked with marines because marines are the kind of people you want at your side and trust me, you don't ever want to be on the other side of a fighting marine. it's trouble. it's painful. the marines are the first into battle and the first to fight. marines never give up, never give in, never retreat, and never ever surrender. you are faithful to each other, faithful to your mission, and you are always faithful to the country that you love,
