maria. we have a lot more going on. we will continue to bring it to you every single night right here on "trish regan primetime". thank you for tuning in. "kennedy" is next. kennedy: thank you trish! breaking is in a cave it's getting crazier by the hour. prosecutors charging jussie smollett with falsely reporting he was attacked by a pair of racist trump supporters. legal experts say it could mean a few years in prison if he is convicted. as you know, the case exploded late last month when the actor claimed he was in a subway sandwich shop when men and redheads beat him up, poured bleach on him, put a noose around his neck and called out maga country. parts of the story just did not add up from the beginning but jussie smollett had been

sticking to the story. tearfully telling good morning america that it was devastating. that nobody believed him. >> you know at first it was a thing of like listen, if i tell the truth, then that is it because it is the truth. but then it became a thing of like, oh, how can you doubt that? how do you not believe that? it is the truth. and then he became of like oh, it is not necessarily you do not believe that this is the truth. you don't even want to see. kennedy: you don't want to see! blinders off folks!since then, his story has begun to collapse. according to investigators the so-called attackers, they were not from supporters, instead, they were nigerian brothers. who now claim that smollett paid them to fake the assault. they are also actors on the show empire and now we have surveillance video of the pair snapping up some bargains. there they are! buying the supplies that they later used in what is looking more and more like a very

elaborate hoax. how much legal trouble could he be facing? and what damage does this due to an already tense and divided nation? not to mention, the franchise, empire is a great show! tonight is panel has all of the info and resources we need. let's go to attorney and fox news contributor, emily campania. here with insider politics reporter john -- here we are now at the plexiglas oval. [laughter] >> i love it. >> of course i will go to a resident lawyer. what could he be facing based on the charges from chicago pd? >> up to three years in prison and a $25,000 fine. i want to point out that the state of illinois had prosecutorial discretion whether to see this as a misdemeanor or felony. and that they are pursuing this

as a class iv felony -- kennedy: what does it mean to you? >> it speaks volumes and they mean business. the alleged crime, filing a police, false report. this is against public justice to have people do this. the consequences are severe and here, the da is pursuing it as such. >> is very interesting. i just assume that he's not going to get any jail time because i think actors in this country by and large, they can afford better lawyers to argue their way out of real trouble. unlike people like into the system and have a really hard time extricating themselves for years and years. but if convicted he may have to pay for the entire investigation. >> absolutely. this, these are very serious allegations. i think one of the larger stories that we point is a narrative that is surrounding the story. beyond the trouble that he will be in specifically. there's a lot of issues here for i think the left in general.

and the media in terms of how the story was approached and the outrage machine and how it drove the narrative and pushed the story and he was kind of tried in public court rather than the issue of due process. kennedy: but i think he knew that because if the story were true it would be outrageous! it would be unconscionable and it is hard to fathom that we live in a country where stuff like that can happen. it can happen, is entirely within the realm of possibility. that's why think people had the reaction to it but then you go to this next bubble, he's no longer a victim, now he is charged, indicted with, on a felony charge! a felony count here. what is the motivation for someone like that? >> that would be very interesting to see if it comes out during a trial. and the real tragedy here, one of the real tragedies, is that i hit hate crimes are on the rise. it's a problem. and for someone to claim this happened falsely, to make it

up, to concoct the story, makes it harder for real victims a thing to be believed and possibly to get justice. we will see if this is just someone that wanted attention for himself, wanted to be the victim. if you really just is, i do not want to use the term crazy, but is mentally challenged in some way. there is also reporting now that the police are looking into whether he faked the initial letter that received as a threat. they are also looking into that now as well. so it could be a pattern. spoon and the brothers said he was really upset that the letter did not get more traction in the press. now the brothers are saying and he also made -- >> is a pattern. and to point out something about the litter, just like when you go through tsa, it does not matter if you're joking or not, a terroristic threat letter is taken seriously no matter what. it has such serious consequences beyond a police report. kennedy: if they find that he was in fact, the one responsible for either directing the brothers to craft a letter where he had a big

part in that, will that mean extra charges?>> 100 percent. so much more serious and filing a false report. kennedy: is a chart since it was over the mail? >> yes it is. remember in 2007, he was charged with false identity impersonation, a dui. he gave his brothers name. >> and the court appearance, as such. certainly there was evidence of a pattern before this unfortunately.>> so bizarre. >> who is a bigger liar, him or andy mccabe? >> are not getting into that. >> you're getting into it! >> i'm not getting into that but you made a very good point. the most recent fbi report on hate crimes shows there's a 17 percent increase. this followed an increase, the past three years. we seen hate crimes increase the past three years. when summer comes up. we do not know all the facts in the case yet, but we are certainly pointing to the

conclusion that he perhaps made all of this up. >> the weird thing is, he is still sticking with the story! his lawyers alike, don't charge him, he is the victim of a hate crime! >> right. there is clearly something wrong. kennedy: at one point he turned and go, my bad! >> it seems to be his whole theory has been, he did not think he would get caught. he didn't think anyone ever get caught for this quote - crime if he in fact made it up. now i think he's continued to play the game out. but you're right, at what point you say that the jig is up? >> perhaps when the narrative -- >> people digging in, you guys. when the government is coming, when the government turns around and puts the eye on you, they dig in and freak out. well it seems calmly discussing why would he just okay -- and that level. >> rolling in the deep! i know adele! speaking of a maga happier this during the became the poster child for white privilege. they say that the paper started

a firestorm of hatred. today the president cheered him on. nick sandmann, they said there was a racialist charged standoff with a native american man. there really wasn't true. nonetheless he accuses the "washington post" a publishing false and defamatory articles to smear him. this is also claims that they ignore the truth and falsely accused sandmann of accosting, threatening and intimidating nathan phillips. this morning, the president tweeted quote - the "washington post" ignored journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and equally documented biased agenda against president donald j trump. coming to student, suing -- go get them, nick! fake news expert the paper says is planning to have a vigorous defense. so if they drag his name to the

mud. john! >> interesting from the guy that took out a full-page ad against central park five and even after exonerated never apologized for smearing the names. township also treated toxic teenagers on twitter in the past couple of years but one of them got sexual harassment threats, death threats and had to flee her own home. kennedy: none of that is okay. >> none of that is okay. maybe not in the best position to stick his nose into this. did the media get a lot wrong on this? absolutely. i think this is a teaching moment and do not let social media drive all of your reporting. so down a bit. wait for the facts to come out and don't let the outrage have the narrative.kennedy: is there parallels between this and the jussie smollett case? >> it's similar in that when you see something on social media you think because you have a twitter account the whole world needs to know that your -- may be they don't. i've never been happier to not have a twitter account. this seems to be to be a

politically motivated lawsuit. kennedy: their tweets and correspondence. >> it seems to me to try to make a political point. i will defer to emily on the legal case they have with the amount of money they're asking for, the fact that they think -- kennedy: but i think whenever we see people seeking judgment is because they're trying to make a big splash and get a lot of publicity which they are doing. the question is, does the kid have a case? >> in the reason asking 250 million -- to respond to the social media thing the strength aspect is the amplification aspect that is cited meaning that it went just on the initial first few moments of everyone is jumping on what is happening right now. with the lawsuit it specifies and states that the seven articles and three tweets that were amplified to the millions

of viewers continued to push the narrative with very defamatory in their words, headlines, characterizing the minor child who is 16, that as a state representative or whatever. and if that is what was so damaging. and it was reasonably foreseeable that all of the people would see it and he would then be ostracized because of it. i do think they're making an extremely valid point. kennedy: that was the point of the tweet storm not just from the post but other outraged you know, further left news organizations and celebrities. it was the cactus guy. so one who was such a bad person they had to pinpoint who he wasand make his life hell . what are the ramifications for journalists if nick sandmann and his family are in fact victorious? >> there's a lot of accountability for journalists where there is a narrative or another they are not held

accountable. it is not true whatsoever. we shoot retractions and corrections and we get slammed. we're just talking about in the hallway before we came on here. we get a lot of hate on twitter. and it is serious hate. death threats, he let a female journalist face rape threats and other things. there are serious ramifications when reporters get things wrong. sometimes even getfired. so it's not as if there is no accountability for the media. does it mean that they cannot do better? the media world can definitely do better. kennedy: but you can also , as members of the media in general, not be so overly sensitive so when neiman marcus cells fake news t-shirts you throw a hissy fit to get that removed. >> and trump could have some humor too. >> are be curious to know, and i raise this as part of the case, there will be a discovery process. could other videos come to light that shed more true than what happened and possibly complicate it even more. in other words, now the media narrative is that the covington kids were wrongly painted as aggressors and they were

actually victims. this is a risk, right? because more information to come to light as part of the process. that shows it is more complicated. >> 100 percent. and it's been part of the lawsuit already. they requested that the court go to all of the people in the video and say hold the evidence to make sure. and to answer question about what ramifications do journalists have, supreme court justice clarence thomas as we should revisit new york times -- which is not theirs here according to the attorneys of sandmann. but the future could be very different for journalists. kennedy: judge napolitano said he is a temporary public figure. which exonerates the post. crisis with the "washington post" will be but attorneys were quite clear and very adamant in the lawsuit why he was a private citizen. that is their main argument. >> does age have anything to do with this? >> now they say that is where the negligent exhibit is. >> all right we have so much more to talk about.

much more with the panel. and guess what? bernie sanders make a big splash! he's already raised so much more than you'll ever have in your life. he announced his 2020 run. he knows he can get the far left but is his push for left but is his push for socialism a when you retire will you or will you just be you, without the constraints of a full time job? you can grow your retirement savings with pacific life and create the future that's most meaningful to you. which means you can retire, without retiring from life. having the flexibility to retire on your terms. that's the power of pacific. ask your financial professional about pacific life today. state of the art technologyt makes it brilliant. the visionary lexus nx.

for democrats. and he is a force to be reckoned with in 2020. perfect vision burn. astonishing $6 million in 24

hours. crushing every other 2020 hopeful. should the president be scared to? and a word, no. here's why. first of all, is pushing an unsustainable far left agenda that will collapse under its own weight. medicare for all, free college, universal childcare, job guarantee, green new deal. they would be absurdly expensive. trillions of dollars over the next decade by some estimates. that's not all. as we speak we are watching venezuela spiral into hell on earth. there is no food, no medicine, socialism when it collapses, does not work. and that's why bernie sanders is not condemned the nations worthless dictator.nicolas maduro. and has yet to endorse the pro-democracy opposition leader, juan guaido. in the past bernie has also spoken affectionately of fidel and raul castro, the communist brothers that when people like a prison ship and destroy the once thriving economy. that puts bernie in a tough spot if the president turns the election into a referendum on socialism. would a bernie nomination guarantee four years of the president in the white house? joining out american majority co former presidential speech writer, ned ryun and fox news contributor and partner in crime, the host of the richard

fowler show, it is richard fowler. welcome back gentleman. >> good to see you kennedy.>> good to be with you. kennedy: we had a great time last week. now let's party with socialism. i want to put in your court first richard. it's fascinating watching the process evolve and watch all the various candidates get in and where they stand on what is become a litmus test, these progressive ideas and legislation like the green new deal. what does bernie sanders do to the field? and do you think that he pulls the field further left? >> a couple of things. one time i believe in healthy primaries and i think the democrats deserve a lt primary where we debate all the ideals including those of bernie sanders. i think facts are also important for democratic primaries, we look for folks in

the democratic primary and that is that. kennedy: is a really big point. i know it's been an issue for you sometimes. other people in your party particular leadership that feel the same way? the bernie sanders is not a real democrat. therefore he should not be supported to get the nomination. >> i think the people in the party believe, we believe in a healthy primary. we are an open tent and we welcome bernie and and we want to debate the ideals. we have 10 or 11 other candidates, more that will likely join the race. what we want more than anything is for iowa voters, new hampshire voters, d.c. voters, maryland democratic voters have a chance look at all the candidates, assess their records and then have a chance to vote. kennedy: he's not the first person in the race and it all comes down to money. bernie sanders, because he still has a lot of excitement and a lot of resentment that carries over from 2016, was able to raise four times the amount that kamala harris was in her first 24 hours. she was the previous big-money grabber entering into the race. but he's also backing some proposals that will bankrupt the country. as he the president's dream candidate? >> i will say this, first of

all, i think bernie sanders might become the victim of his own success.think about and 2016, he was the only progressive socialist in the race against the establishment candidate, hillary clinton. it was really beside the two pygmies of jim webb and chase lee. the problem is them there so many candidates have signed on to a lot of his agenda, he is going to have diluted some of his power in the primary. i think that will be a big issue for him. i think that he might be a gift to the president? i think he already is. because he is taken the democratic party so far left that they are talking about these crazy ideas a medicare for all integrating -- the green new deal. which are convoluted to this and you did to that he's really not democrat. what if he decides he just says i'm going to burn the house down. >> that's a great question! a third party candidate, richard could really upset this court. i think bernie played nice last time.

i think that he wanted to instill some goodwill into the party. and when it was obvious he wasn't going to get the nomination, he really did try to heal the rift with the party and hilary. i don't think he will play nice this time. think you feel like he is forced out, it will run third party. he has got so much more energy, the movement is so much bigger than it was four years ago. and democrat socialists, they have so many more people who are joining their roles and donating money to the cause. >> like i said i think we believe in healthy primaries. i find it very humbling. kennedy: don't say the same thing that's the third time you said that!>> is very unlikely bernie sanders will lead the democratic party. still because he is in -- [multiple speakers] >> i think the more important point, the democratic parties, they are looking for solutions to real problems like the fact that healthcare premiums are

going to the roof. prescription drug cost prices are too high. early childhood is like a mortgage. maybe times two. what we've seen from republicans are zero answers to any of the problems. not to mention the fact that 7 million americans are -- spewing that's not true. prescription drug costs, is not an area where i agree with the president. i think we should do this with the free market not the fda. he's willing to work with democrats to price fix that. >> the let's get it done expert remember republicans had control of all three chambers of congress. for the past two years and got nothing done. kennedy: leslie where we are. >> the same for healthcare. this repeal and replace ended have no replacement. kennedy: these are the democrats because we were $32 trillion plan. the affordable care act sucked. the american people hated it and now there in total limo because republican screw that up.

but ned, back to you. does bernie get the nomination? >> no, i don't think so. i don't think he does. i think as donald trump said, i think his time has passed. again, it will be a crowded path. again, the problem is is a victim of his own success. of kamala harris, elizabeth warren and all these other candidates are signed into a lot of the things that bernie was running on a 2016. so he diluted the power at the same time will he be formidable? absolutely. kennedy: he will! he's going to fight like crazy! just wait. his all of this animosity on the president right now. wait until he flips and starts tearing apart some of the other democrats. that's what is going to get really interesting. richard and ned, thank you both. >> thank you. >> thank you, kennedy. kennedy: and other top democrat baffled by the green new deal. ♪ ♪ you got a side that wants more space, ♪ ♪ 'cause every day starts like a race. ♪ ♪ you got a side that loves that style, ♪

♪ but to fit in those shoes gonna take awhile. ♪ ♪ today life's got you runnin'. ♪ ♪ tomorrow big things are comin'. ♪ ♪ that's why nationwide is on your side. ♪ ♪ kennedy: the democrats have

been living a utopian fantasy

ever since the midterms. but as more eager notables enter the presidential sweepstakes is obvious someone will need to return from cloud cuckoo land to become a real contender you have to differentiate yourself. everyone on the left is been doing their best bernie sanders impression with the green new deal and medicare for all. but when push comes to shove, someone in the party has to do the hard math, the socialist charade will crash.anyone can be a theoretical, sheep and promise everything. that's easy. just ask pearson gillibrand, cory booker and kamala harris. but to be standing at the bust out a little skepticism even if it shows >> in the dangerously left party lines. >> mitch mcconnell is going to bring the vote on the new green deal, the green new deal, whatever they call it. i sound like nancy pelosi now. how do we vote on that? >> at this point, i would be, i can't tell you to be honest.

i read it and i reread it and i asked what in the heck is this? [laughter] >> you so much nancy! >> it is an aspiration. >> the problem is, for people in congress, particular those running for president, they're not aspirational lists. they're not influencers. or facilitators peer their legislators. have the ability to take our money by force and pay for things that we neither need nor want. by and large, they're not very good with that basic task which as an institution makes them wildly unpopular. so they try and give little hand out to everyone hoping for political traction.that is immature and shortsighted. and some people like amy klobuchar and even howard schultz are learning it takes more than pornographic promises to fix problems. health insurance system was already built on the medicare model. and that is what made it suck! obamacare only made things

worse. and more government will kill it. i'm not willing to let congress talk across the event horizon to exchange our economy. the green new deal wants to be everything a jobs plan, healthcare bill, an environmental manifesto. and that is what makes it just one thing. garbage. and that is the memo.♪ ♪ [music] ♪ [music] the green new deal is becoming a litmus test for democratic 2020 contenders. so what will it take to bring these big tax dollars spent his back? during our fox business network very on john stossel. >> hi! kennedy: is no surprise the democrat party has gone further left, that's where the fun is! >> yeah, and i really enjoyed

your language. i don't agree with you! someone will do the hard math. and the socialist parade will crash. kennedy: charade. >> i agree with you! but we don't know that. these ideas, pornographic or not, are popular with people. in countries vote in socialism despite its bad record. >> they do. but in this country, we still have really high tax bills. even with tax cuts. and we still have a middle class that doesn't feel as fully employed in full economically mobile as they should. and polling shows. >> under socialism taxes will be low and everybody will have free stuff! they believe this! >> they won't believe that. they believe that some of these ideas are well intended. and they believe that yes, poor

people should have healthcare. by and large, that is what they believe. that's with the polling shows. but then it breaks tammy's a-okay but here is what it costs. it is still popular with you? and that is when people say no, not really. it is easy for all these people to say here is this neat stuff. but amy klobuchar and dick durbin and a few other people will look like adults going, we cannot afford all this, but nice try.>> they are kind of but they keep saying, these are interesting ideas that i want more details. none of them is really saying, we cannot afford this, socialism does not work. more government makes things worse. and there's this fantasy. medicare for all. we will not have to pay the insurance company. and go through all of the paperwork. kennedy: private health insurance. >> will come with do, insurance as part of the problem but it will all go away and governmental display and everything will be cheaper. people believe that. because they don't pay close attention and most americans are not thrilled with math. kennedy: i think when they realize what kind of a fight it will be, in comparison to the aca, that is when it will lose support. do people embrace capitalism

and liberty? like they should? systems actually work, that pull people out of poverty? no. but the people that have those ideas are not often the best ones champion. >> it is hard to explain. freedom to people, it is a million transactions. while free education, is easy to get. medicare for all. mom likes her medicare. there are almost no bills and yeah, everyone should have that. >> lower the age to 55! >> they want to lower it to 10! >> was rated to 85.how about that? heartless! >> what the viewers don't know is that we on medicare, clifton average, triple the money that we paid in over the years. it is unsustainable! it will blow up. already and they want to make it bigger. kennedy: is always been a ponzi scheme and unsustainable. the bill will come, it is not crying wolf.and when it does

i will be with peter so don't bother me. john, thank you so much. always good to talk to. >> thank you. kennedy: the trump administration is further derailed telephone his high-speed bullet train telling the government that washington will not be wiring and other billing dollars allocated for it. the president is trying to claw back to two and have billing they've already given to california and he tweeted quote, the fast train project with the cost of running becoming world record-setting is hundreds of times more expensive than the desperately needed wall. handsome california governor, gavin newsom, there he is. suggest last week that the president would quote - desperately searching for wall money. he also said california's -- should president trump try to divert the money to his wall or should he do something else? like give it back to taxpayers. yes. that is what he should do.

our panel is back. emily compagno, john haltiwanger, marie harf. welcome back everyone! let's start with you. gavin newsom. i'm surprised is not gone into the presidential frame war. maybe he's waiting until 2024 and thinking that president trump will be reelected. which would be a great foil for him.the cost overruns on the project has always been prohibitive and they have always underestimated and undersold to voters how much it would cost for this high-speed train. and newsom is abandoning it. >> he is. i don't think the money should be diverted to the wall because of different reasons. in practice, i think that the country needs to figure how to deal with infrastructure. including high-speed rail, including fixing the roads and

bridges. it's a bigger conversation. the fact of the project was so overbudget and has been so mismanaged is a problem because i think it makes it easier to caricature infrastructure projects like this.i don't know what california is doing. but they need to figure out some way to handle this. i don't think the government should take back the money and use it for the wall. and if they politically or legally it's a good thing. kennedy: i don't think it's a good thing either. they're going to build a bullet train from la to san francisco it sounds great but is never going to happen because they have to use the existing rail. they're not going to belize high-speed japanese rails and just because holland and japan has doesn't mean you will transfer them and people in california like to drive. >> you make some valid points. it seems a california government perhaps has mismanaged the project. the list talk about trump and the wall. the project is a waste of money. what about the wall? is the wall really a good way to spend government funds? kennedy: no. >> to relocate military funds for nonmilitary purpose? kennedy: no. >> i think is larger than the debate. and the department transportation decision to take

away the grant a day after 16 governors file a lawsuit against the president -- kennedy: gavin newsom abandon this last week. it is not interesting. and no, the government spends way too much money on everything. politicians especially those in california, have always had train burners. there are railways to nowhere. there path carts to help. because it not going to move anyone, then going to be necessarily safe. there are better ways of protecting the earth and you don't have to have trillions of dollars in government expenditures in order to do it. so what do we need?more failures like this? to keep proving over and over again, guess what? the state of california can't afford it. emily. >> i agree. i am a california, i lived in san francisco when gavin newsom was mayor. at that point -- to me this is just another idea of his. -- it falls on the space because of the reason you said obviously federal funds are

mandated and have to be used for that specifically that purpose. it will not go back and be relocated but for someone like him that has a peer environmental as it would behoove him to have other issues. where pollution is literally truck up to 70 percent of certain cities on the border pretty is not dressing up because he so focused on philosophical ideas and getting into the contest with the president over the fight. i think he needs to divert his attention to more serious and impactful issues. kennedy: give the money back to the people they earned it. the hard-working taxpayers a place like california and stop siphoning off the federal teet. >> we talked about a lot there! kennedy: faster than a high-speed rail ever can. coming up, an alabama woman that joined isis in syria now wants to return to america. she says, she made a mistake but should she get forgiveness? and is she an american citizen?

there is a question tonight, christian. >> yeah, i was a she's not. u.s. government contends that she's not. kennedy: why though? >> according to them she was born to diplomats from yemen. and therefore is not a u.s. citizen. in the same way that someone who was born to one of our diplomats serving abroad is automatically a u.s. citizen native born american despite not being born on u.s. territory. she does not have a u.s. passport. kennedy: but they say that -- they said that she does but she somehow, it's not in possession of it lawfully and that they are not stripping her of u.s. citizenship because she never really had a peer semester to get a passport and has been waving around for years. >> yeah, it makes a lot of sense to me.if you go and fight with the armed forces of another country, the war at the united states is a good way to lose citizenship. certainly, -- kennedy: is not a way to lose citizenship they say. >> if this is the standard we

are going to apply, if you can come here and have an anchor baby as a diplomat and the baby goes and fights against united states but because we will get wound up in this legal -- and protect people that are enemies, i do not think it is the law. if it is the law we need to change the law. kennedy: and think she deserves protection but if she's an american citizen she should be tried here. and if she is guilty of treason potentially put to death. >> i think it's interesting because even if she is not a u.s. citizen she can be prosecuted for providing material support to a terrorist organization. she is a u.s. citizen i agree it should ought to be elevated to treason. it's a high standard -- kennedy: she went to join isis. she's on her third marriage because two of her husbands were killed. one of them, in mosul. obviously she's had some bad luck. but doing bad things and aiding the enemy, and if you go bad it

does not mean you get to come back to the country and have therapy which is essentially what she's asking for. >> right. and there is an element, she has a child, we feel bad for the child, through no fault of his own is in the situation. on the other hand, she is claiming that she has renounced diocese that she's no longer interested in that type of extremism. kennedy: don't do the crime! you know? >> right. and her lawyer, the person she chose to defend her as executive director of care. council of american islamic relations in florida. they are often seen as the same as the muslim brotherhood and hamas. it does not sound like she has you know, become an opponent of islamism. >> she's not. she's saying whatever it takes to get back to the country. please do not miss the interview with maria bartiromo and secretary of state mike pompeo. they will talk about this tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. eastern time. more news
