is no collusion. lou: president trump set to pay his respects to george h.w. bush tonight at the toda -- at the capitol. trish: president trump demanding a tough sentence for his personal attorney michael cohen. he says bob mueller and his angry democrats are out of control. reports of migrants jumping the border between the u.s. and mexico as the u.s. increases pressure' on congress to fund the border wall. dr. sebastian gorka is joining me straight ahead. chaos in the streets of paris. violent protests are getting out of control as the french rage against the increasing cost of

living. nigel farage is here with a warning for us how easily this could happen here in the united states of america. "trish regan primetime" begins right now. new tonight. president trump publicly slamming his personal personal attorney michael cohen telling the judge to lock him up. the president said he quote lied for this outcome and should in my opinion serve a full and complete sentence. the president is calling out cohen's cooperation with the feds. michael cohen who was once donald trump's so-called fixer is talking with mueller investigators. he says he deserves zero time in prison. bret baier is so good to see you

here, bret. they got him on lying. what's to say he's not lying again. bret: he has a track record. but he's obviously telling the special counsel and the attorneys in the southern district a lot. he testified for more than 70 hours about various elements in this case. the fact that the president tweeted out what he did today raised a lot of eyebrows in washington. not only did he have that pointed message about he should serve time. but he had a friendly motion to roger stone, at least some people have guts, they are not testifying. you had some lawyers saying it's witness tampering, and obstructing justice. the point is, he's clearly agitated about where this is going, and either the special

counsel is coming forward with something he knows about or his lawyers are telling him something. he's upset it has come to this point. the question is when and if we'll see that in coming weeks. trish: the timing on that russia tower being built, and that's what's in question. michael cohen saying we were continuing discussions with the russians up to june of 2016. originally it was thought to have ended six months earlier. what did the president say on the questionnaire he submitted to robert mueller. if his timing is in conflict with michael cohen, that can't be good. bret: i will say that some of this activity obviously bubbled up right after that questionnaire was turned in. so one would think the special counsel had that baked in the

cake and they were going forward with other elements of this. it's not a good thing for the president no matter where your point of view is. this whole development is not a good thing for the trump administration. but we don't know what we don't know. trish: let me move on to china. we are getting a ceasefire. do you think that anything is going to come of this. is he going to be able to move the needle in such a way china starts to feel less of -- steal less of our intellectual property and the tariffs have a meaningful effect for business. >> there is a possibility. it's a lot more possible after that meeting than it seems. we don't have cut and dried on a piece of paper. we have characterizations of what they talked about at the dinner and the possibility of this 90-day freeze of tariffs on

both sides. or not ratcheting up the tariffs. larry kudlow sound positive. the president sound positive. the chinese don't know how to read this president. and they want to figure out a way they can get from under the thumb of some of these economic pressures. trish: i have got to ask you, president bush 41, you covered him. thoughts on who he was as a person, as we prepare for his funeral. bret: i think this is an important moment for the country to see the pomp and circumstance. tonight there was a sunset in washington that was spectacular. red skies. as that casket came up the eastside of the capitol, it was stunning. some of the word inside the

capitol rotunda by vice president pence and others, emotional speeches. i think you will see that up until wednesday, then thursday in houston. it is a tribute to the man who cared about family, his faith, he was humble. a lot of people have remembrances on him based on his humanity. trish: to think of someone who achieved so much and had such a human quality to him. his relationship with his family meant so much. and it just shows you the foundation of a really good person. no matter all the success he was able to achieve as president of the united states. he was ground that sense of family and community. >> he was the patriarch.

it's poignant the last word he said to his son george w. was "i love you" over a speaker phone as they couldn't get to houston to be there with him in the last hours. i expect an emotional and funny at times and poignant speech from the 43rd president who has been working on this for the past couple years. trish: we'll be watching all of your coming, bret. thank you so much. it's great to see you tonight. outspoken liberal musician bruce springsteen was not such a fan of our president. and he says there is no obvious contend tore beat president trump in 2020. the legendary contender said i don't see anyone out there at the moment who could beat trump.

you need someone who could speak some of the same language, and the democrats don't have an obvious effective presidential candidate. kamala harris. bernie sanders, hillary clinton again, been down that road. and most of -- most of likely lack a bench. what are you doing? you have got no one out there which is good news for the republicans and donald trump. i am saying bruce springsteen is right. >> when the boss speaks i listen because you are right. he's a proud progressive and he hit the trail hard for our candidate over the years. normally i would dismiss most of celebrities. but him not so much. he has done grassroots work for

us. trish: is he sending you a warning message? what's going on with your party. i forgot cory booker. he's looking for that opportunity with bernie sanders been there done that. i don't really know who you guys -- we could be surprised. are there any dark horses that will be emerging as potential candidates? >> of course there is always talk of beto o'rourke running. that would be my ultimate dark horse. trish: does he have the experience? >> no, but he ran a solid campaign, and he did do a good job of giving the base enthusiasm. and we need that. and bruce springsteen the boss called us out on that. and it's true. that's what campaigns are for.

i expect as we get further along in campaign season. hillary didn't tart running until april. trish: she was always running. >> don't curse us with hillary again. trish: there has been some talk of that. there have been rumors circulating she might be back in the mix. do you think it would be a repeat of what we saw? >> i think it would be worse honestly. probably 16 to 18 candidates. i don't think she would survive even the latest stages. trish: president trump told me himself about mike bloomberg. he said i would love to see mike bloomberg run. so he knows what it's like to be part of that.

and he emerged as one of the more forceful members of that primary process on the republican side. do you worry when you have such a crowded field that it actually enables maybe the likes of dare i say a bernie sanders type socialist? >> the problem with that, look what happened with republicans. the loudest voice in the room. with 16 candidates, donald trump was the loudest one in the room. they tried to block him out of some of those debates and it worked in his favor. i'm expecting a repeat of that for us. it will be the loudest democratic candidate who gets the attention. trish: i just don't want to see a socialist there because i think it's bad for america. donald trump was loud. but he came with a business background that was pretty substantial. and i think a lot americans are

welcoming that sort of ceo in the sphere of the presidency. we are watching it. thank you very much. good to see you. president trump ramping up pressure for our border wall. doubling down on his threat to close the entire southern border. new tonight, over 60% of non-citizens, non-americans, they are using welfare programs. parent

dollars if the democrats would give up the votes to build a wall. fox news national security strategist, sebastian gorka. he's serious by the. what would it look like to close the border entirely? >> there are key access points that are manned by our customs and border patrol, and those points would be shut down. the vital traffic in the interest of national security would be allowed through. the heritage foundation in their publication just today has given a list of all the times previous presidents have shut down the southern border.

we did it even with canada after 9/11. this is not unheard of. it can be done. if you look at the threat towvment s. economy, illegal migration, drugs, fentanyl, there is more than enough justification for the president to do this. trish: it wouldn't be ideal. is this a negotiating tactic? the democrats should understand the extreme measure that we might or he might be willing to take to deal with this. >> let's look last time what happened, trish. the last time we had the threat of a government shutdown at the end of the day, the democrats lost the battle for narrative because america understood the choice that had been taken. we had chuck schumer and the

democrats and nancy pelosi choose illegal aliens and the criminals in sanctuary cities over u.s. citizens and the funding of our armed forces. trish: that's not a good look for them. >> when you are choosing criminals over combat veterans and people in the armed services? i think chuck humaner got a tad burned by that last time. trish: do you think he won't make that mistake twice? >> after the mid terms who knows. we have the lunatics taking over the asylum when you have people like alexandria ocasio-cortez coming in. when you don't know people who know how many chambers there are in the government when they are coming in as congress women. but maybe chuck schumer for his

personal survival will get control of the lunatics. trish: democrats have lost their way. growing up i told the viewers my father came from a big irish catholic family. he came from a family of 8. for him growing up you were a democrat like you were irish like you were catholic. if you could manage to be a member of the union, hats off to you. that party, that seems to be done. that is missing. this is why hillary clinton left. you have only to look at what happened in places like pennsylvania where donald trump bought so many blue collar democrats into the sphere, into the circle. it's just plain bad politics.

>> it's very simple. the democrat party yeter year, your father's democrat party was one of compassion and focused on the working class. but it was a party patriots. these were people who loved america. jfk was a democrat. could you imagine a more hard-core anti-communist strong on u.s. security than john f kennedy? and downf. kennedy would not be allowed in today's dnc. hillary clinton said i want a borderless hemisphere. i want no borders from canada down to south america. what happens to the american working class when we have migration like they do in eastern europe. the democrat party left the real

democrats and have become fundamentally un-american. trish: you can check out he baftdians real book, why we fight. total chaos and destruction in france. more than 130,000 people taking to the streets in france furious over emmanuel macron's gas tax. nigel farage says this could happen to you, america. a brand-new report showing 60% of non-citizens are on some kind of government welfare program. an example why we must fix our broken immigration system. we should be strategic by the. we should welcome those that want to be american, that want to contribute.

trish: you are looking live at capitol hill. president trump and first lady melania just arrived there at the rotunda building to pay their respects to president george h.w. bush. we anticipate they will walk in there any moment. the president's funeral is on wednesday, and we'll be seeing both president trump and melania trump there. really remarkable man he was, and a wonderful president. and vice president. during the reagan years. i remember as a kid growing up when he was in the vice president's office and as a young teenager growing up

sumners kennebunkport maine, rather close to the walker's points compound. when he became the president of the united states, it was a big, big deal. he already was a pretty big deal. but now he's the president. i remember my parents were thrilled. our property value went up. i was excited base had a bunch of waitressing jobs. and that amendments more people in town. they would come in by the hundreds in buses to pay their respects or drive by walker's point in kennebunkport. i remember he standing outside on our deck at home. i told you earlier what a staunch democratic family i came from including my grandmother who i don't think ever voted for you a republican. we were standing outside and watched the president's boat

come by. and she started waving. and she stood up. and she had a hard time standing up. but she stood up and waved. i said, gram, he's a republican. and she looked at meet and she said something i will never forget. she said, tricia, he's the president of the united states of america. and really that's important. it's important in times like this to remember when we are so divided that anybody who gives their life effectively to their country, to serve the country as he did or any president does, they are making a sacrifice. it's a big deal. even though my grandmother did agree with a lot of president bush's policies, she respected

him as our leader. i learned a lot that day. i learned the will of the american people really matters. a couple years ago, james, my husband and i had the tremendous good fortune to meet him. i would see his boat go by. i knew when he was in town because it was a big deal and there was extra security. but james and i took the kids up to kennebunkport so i could have a walk down memory lane. we spent about a week up there. we were lucky enough to meet him and see him and spend some time with him. i was struck by the fact that he would even take time out of his day. a man in his early 90s to meet with us. and he liked doing that. he liked to feel connected still to the world. he would get up and go to work every day. even just going from the home he

lived in on walker's point down to his office via golf cart. you see the president and his wife melania trump walking into the' rotunda building to pay their respects. a wonderful love he had for his family. let's listen in here as we watch the president and melania.

the president and melania paying their respects to bush 41. this an important part of our tradition, an important par impf our history. i'm sure we'll hear some pretty great' speech from his own son. only in the was he president, but his some other son tran for president if it is incredible. but as i said. i was struck by his engagement

even in his early 90s that he would take the time out of his day at his age to sit down with my husband and myself. it really spoke to the kind of man he was. i remember reading a terrific book on him, and i was always so struck by the relationship he had with his wife. he was clearly grieving a whole lot. and family was a big part of that, and country was a big part of that. so thank you. thank you, president bush for all you did for this country. you were a true american and you are and were a role model for so many. rest in peace. president george herbert walker bush. your legacy lives on. >> i really believe there can be

gas tax, now they turned into a referendum on the cost of living. >> the first thing to remember is that the french do like to protest and have direct action. they do this kind of thing regularly. but what we saw in the last couple days was the third week of these protests and a level of violence not seen in france since the student uprising in 1968. it would appear these protests are gaining momentum. they began with the issue of paying taxes. it's now more about an he let out of touch macron, the great globalists, the former investment banker who rarely leaves paris and spend more time virtue signaling to the world whether it's about global

warming or the free movement of the people. he's completely away from ordinary people. if people feel democracy doesn't work anymore and the people running them don't understand their issues, then they are tested to turn toward direction action. democracy is the safety valve that normally stops us going for violent street protests. all the while, the american people who like donald trump or don't like donald trump. provided people have faith that the system in the end can deliver to them, they won't do this. trish: that is very, very well put. what happens to macron in all this. it's not like any french president has had an easy time of it. the people as you point out. they like to protest.

it's gotten worse than we have seen previously ever. you have got to go back a couple decades to see what we are now seeing. is there something he should be doing? >> macron came in, he was the golden boy. he was the reaction against the horrors of trump. suddenly macron comes in on a huge wave of media popularity. and his popularity ratings are bombing. he's heading back towards the previous president, hollande. very low numbers. he has a number of votes in the french assembly. there is no immediate threat to his presidency, but he'll face european elections in may next year. that will be the first litmus test of how he's doing as a

president. but i would say this. the dream that somehow macron was going to modernize france, change france and make it more european and less french country, i think that's dying before our very eyes. in some ways what is going on in france is reflected against the whole of europe where people look at a government in their capital city that doesn't understand their lives, and mostly in brussels. trish: straight ahead, a new study reveals 60% of household headed by non-u.s. citizens are on at least one welfare program. stay right here.

trib * over 60% of households headed by non-u.s. citizens are on at least one welfare program. the longer the non-u.s. citizens are here, the bigger the increase in welfare. it seems like it should be the

opposite. with me right now, rnc spokesperson, kayleigh mcenany. this is not encouraging. and i think it's counterintuitive. i think you come to this country, you would be well positioned and some have desire to stand on your own two feet. >> you are exactly right. and you hit on a key point saying the longer you are in the country the more dependent they are on these benefits. this is contrary to how it's supposed to work, and contrary to immigration law. one of the ground for removal from the country is you are a public charge to the taxpayer. that's not how the system is supposed to work. trish: you think people are

coming here to pursue the american dream. it's not to live off the dole. >> i had one twitter user saying i spent my life paying social security out of my paycheck in the hopes i would get something when i retire. our own us citizens are paying the benefits and may not able to take the benefits after completing their working life. trish: my mother grew up at times on welfare, and she needed it. she grew up in the projects. and -- but there was shame in that. and i sure she would be mortified if she heard me saying that. i think to this day she carries -- i say you shouldn't, you weren't to school and became a journalist and that's a tremendous thing.

but i don't know if there is that same kind of shame, kayleigh, anymore. not the same kind of stigma. i'm not saying there should be. but there should be a desire not to take a handout. >> 0 your situation is similar to my grandmother's situation. his dad passed away. and she got benefits to get on her two feet and she got a job and has two successful sons. getting on your two feet with temporary assistance. and temporary is the optimal word. trish: next, parents outraged after one school district in a posh connecticut town bans moms

trish: parents outraged after the school tells them they cannot have lunch with their kids. just open their milk carton. get a grip. we are raising a bunch of kid who can't do anything for themselves. author of your kids are your own fault. as well as acclaimed author, sara goss. sara, you saw it yourself? >> i spent a year in this town. i felt bad because i didn't go into lunch. i didn't agree with going in and being part of my son's lunchtime. these days we are seeing a lot of dangers on social media and

you witness accidents on youtube, and we cling to our kid more. trish: you want to be sure you are there to protect them along the way. at what point -- at some point your kid have to be able to stand on their own two feet. >> it's a great place to make mistakes and learn. he spills his milk or drops a tray. or can't find anybody to sit with. trish: wouldn't it be worse sitting with his mom? >> she made the right choice. they take mom crane daddy on job interviews. i believe we should teach our

kids that their school time is like their job. they go there on their own to learn to be productive and learn their results and interact with their peers. all of those things have to do on their own. kid want from us their own independence. at some point they shake loose and let go of our hands. that's what they are looking for. trish: that's hard for some parents. i'm a right? i'm a mom of three. and sometimes it's a little hard. yet that's what you're trying to do. you're trying to raise an independent human being that can forge his or her way in the world. >> right. >> i would tell myself this. it's better that my son learns how to handle failure now at a young age than wait until he's

18 and then figure it out on his own and the stakes are much higher. >> but you're in the minority, especially in that town, by the way. these parents are so upset saying this isn't right, we pay all f these taxes in this town. we ought to be able to go and bring our kids hot lurch open sit with them at the lunch table and hang out with their friends and make sure the teachers know we care. but there comes a point in time, right, where you have to have some faith in the system and some trust. and if you're not willing to do that, then is your child ultimately at a big disadvantage? >> well, of course they are. and we need to remember that the ultimate goal of parenting is for your kids to grow up and go away. to be independent. to learn how to take care of themselves so you don't have to. and you need to love your kids enough to allow that. we also should love ourselves enough as parents to give them

some time away from us. >> it's hard, though, you know. because you want to be there. >> you do. you want to protect them and you think you can do everything better and you can. but they need to figure it out. they need to become comfortable feeling shy or embarrassed or overwhelmed. >> my son said to me the other day, he's 6 years old, he said, mommy, when i finish school and i'm looking for a job, would it be okay if i stayed at home for a little while while i looked for my job? i thought oh my gosh. he's planning for the future already. i'm like yeah, maybe like a week tops, kid, right? because at some point, you know -- i'm glad he recognizes that at some point he's going to have to be out in the world on his own. the girls somehow naturally get that. my son, on the other hand. >> if i could just take a moment to say something, trish. and that is i see, and i see how much of your heart you give to your kids whereby your three

kids, and i see how much of your heart you give to this show and to your career. and it's -- well, i think it's not easy. and it pulls you in two different directions. and i also know that women out there can relate they know the feeling where it never feels like it's enough. >> i wouldn't be able to be -- maybe now, more so. but imifn my career path i wouldn't be able to be one of those moms in the lunchroom even if i wanted to be because i'm working. i appreciate you saying it. it's hard for any woman trying to balance as we do. >> that's just the reality of it. larry, no guilt on your end. you're not allowed any. so good to see you both. larry and sara, thank you so

much. that does it tonight for trish regan prime time. we're going to be back here tomorrow night. we've got a big show in store. good night everyone. from the financial capital of the world, "kennedy" begins right now. ♪ kennedy: the nation remembers former president george h.w. bush tonight lying in state at the u.s. capital as thousands 0 mourners begin to pay their respects. here we have a lye look inside the capital rotunda where the flag draped coffin of our 41st president will remain until his funeral rale on wednesday. half an hour ago president trump and melania visited capitol hill and in a statement he said, quote, president george h.w. bush led a life that exemplified what is truly great about america. so many of his generation, the
