seen, old-time musicals like singing in the rain that we use today see. >> you don't see those anymore, right? >> not anymore. >> i don't know. >> yeah, i don't know, we will see and we will be back at 4:00 eastern in a few hours from now and 6:00 p.m. >> and we will be reporting the news two hours after that. >> horror on bourbon street, live report on why a truck crashed into the crowd. >> completely out of touch with mainstream america, understanding that their base is on the right and the far left of the political spectrum in the united states all the way in california and in massachusetts and this is just a terrible decision for these guys because they are continuing to move to the left. >> democrats tapping an old face to be their new leader but as tom pérez exactly what the party needs? political panel will weigh in on the party's future. >> president trump says thanks

but no thanks to the story white house correspondence dinner, we are going to break down what discussing his press corp. really means after addressing joint congress on tuesday. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> good sunday to you, we had so much fun yesterday, 3 hours, bad news for you, you only get one hour today. so tune in for all of it. i'm leland. >> i'm elizabeth, thanks for joining us on this sunday. >> a little more than 48 h from now president donald trump returns to what you might call familiar territory, prime time tv, it would be his first address to both chambers of congress, joint chiefs of staff and supreme court will be there as well. much like the inauguration, some democratic lawmakers have already said they're not going to be there. kristin fisher live from the white house and chris, i'm

guessing the white house is not too concern about those saying they're not going to be there. >> probably not, leland. i think that is safe to say. you know as president trump prepares for his first big speech to congress, lawmakers on both sides of the isle are saying that they want to hear a lot less about all of those attack that is we have been hearing on the press and a lot more substance, more detailed policy proposals specially when it comes to health care and tax reform. on tuesday night lawmakers say that they want to hear how president trump plans to repeal obamacare and what he wants to replace it with, they want to know what exactly tax reform plan is and how he intends to pay for it. those are the two big issues that, i think, lawmakers are going to be wanting to hear president trump speak about and those are two issues that impact almost every american but right now the story sucking most of the oxygen out of the room is the announcement that president trump will not attend the white house correspondence dinner, the administration's position is why should he attend when he's repeatedly called many people by

many people enemy. >> i think it's kind of naive to think that we can all walk into a room for a couple of hours and pretend that some of that tension isn't there. you know, one of the things we say in the south if a girl scout egged your house would you buy cookies from her, this is a pretty similar scenario. now, in addition to the media president trump is also attacking democrats for electing tom pérez the former labor secretary in the obama administration as the new leader of the democratic party. earlier this morning president trump tweeted out the race for dnc chairman was, of course, totally rigged, bernie's guy like bernie himself never had a chance, clinton demanded pérez. so we may be about to be entering president trump's sixth full week in the white house but tweets like that, tweet where is he's talking about bernie sanders and hillary clinton it sure sounds like he's campaign to go get here, leland.

>> bernie sanders certainly had his on response on twitter this weekend as well. kristin fisher live at the white house. thanks, kristin. liz has more. >> yeah, certainly a lot of conversation so here to weigh in on the president's decision not to attend the white house correspondence dinner and tense relationship the media reporter joe, joe, thank you so much for joining us, sir. ic that is a little bit better. my first question to you is this tweet from donald trump, selective outrage or warranted that you think it's not attending? >> selective outrage on the media's part quite frankly. we didn't hear anything about boycotts from certain outlets or threats of boycotts when, for instance, the obama justice department seized phone records from the associated press. more than two months of it. there were no boycotts when, i don't know, reporters were spied on like james rosen from this

network or when the obama administration rejected a freedom of information act, there was no outrage for the actions of the administration against the press but now because donald trump's rhetoric may be offensive to some,

same with president nixon and because trump isn't going we will see another attack against the press but he has every right not to go and again when you have mistrust numbers like the ones i just read, why even bother. >> i know we are running out of time. we are probably going to keep hearing the story. >> all right, let's bring you

back then, open invitation, thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate it. >> a 30-year-old kurdish journalists killed while covering isis fight in iraq and is being remembered across the world, vigils in iraq for a television reporter killed when a bomb exploded on saturday. a reminder of just how dangerous the times the job can be in the parts of the world. isis dumbed bodies of people that they had killed. that is is when the bomb went off killed her. >> well, back here in washington congress resumes this week by repealing and replacing obamacare but state executives who came to washington this weekend have their own ideas for reforming health care so the public is planning to meet with lawmakers and the administration

tomorrow our own garrett with what they'll be bringing to the table. >> this is about replacement plan. obamacare and medicare, for years money to help cover the costs of ensuring low-income americans and under obamacare, 31 states and the district of colombia took advantage of an option to expand coverage. >> now f medicaid reform is going to happen, republican governors want to see the fed give them more control over how the program works and allow them to innovate in order to maximize those dollars. yesterday wisconsin governor scott walker had dinner with president at the white house who said the president was receptive to his idea, here he is on fox

news sunday. >> they are more effective, for years governors have said give us to tools not just on health care, transportation, other issues, now is our time to do it, we can make it work, governors work together with the president and the house that hopefully will be receptive. >> the red state governors plan to formally present their plan to congress tomorrow the same day the leadership in the house is set to unveil proposal. >> a lot to digest, garrett reporting live, thank you so much. coming up we will sit down with hillary shields, how empty chair town hall last night sin senators were unable to attend. >> president trump is expected to issue a redo on his travel ban a little later this week, we hear possibly wednesday after original executive order ran into shall we say court-issued roadblocks, it's expected to target the same muslim countries and we are getting the same talks points from the administration saying it's design today protect the united states from terror attacks

bringing in one of our show's favorite julian turner, fox news contributor. nice to see you. >> nice to see you, leland. >> we are glad to have you, all right. seems like the administration can just not catch a break when it comes to the travel ban, you had the travel ban they put out, you had the public relations fiasco that went down and then you had the court issue injunctions and now you have the new leaked report that is really undermining their assessment and frankly making it a lot harder on the administration r. >> it is, i think this leaked report, you know, dhs, their spokesperson that got on the record this is not something that you can go on because that was not a complete report, a draft report, we didn't have buy in from all the agencies, don't give any creedance, the underlying reality is that there's pretty damming

perspectives on the new travel ban that, i think, it's sort of setting up a road that's going to be treacherous where for the administration. there are member who is are actively trying to undermine the administration's policy. if you leak a report that's not completed yet to try to embarrass the white house, motives seem pretty clear. >> absolutely. leak asking a major problem. it was a major problem in the obama administration and set to remain one for a long time. i think where we run into trouble on this issue is when we try to protect that it's a political issue, that this is something that is only happening to president trump because there's inner core black state within the united states government of liberals who are seek to go undermine him. i think that's overly simplistic

and undermines the discussion. >> have your friends talked about this at all? is there a crack down on leaking and some points that joe made. >> i think there's a crack-down in the obama administration, it was done through channels, there was an investigation and they were prosecuted, this administration, president trump is going directly to the american people and appealing to them for their judgment on this. you know, he's saying, there's the leaks, we have to find out who is doing it, this is terrible. he's kind of going -- he's kind of going -- he's going extra judicial on this one. >> well, extra judicial or extra twitter. >> back to the issue of travel ban and you and i have talked to this about a lot. at least four of the seven countries are failed states. there's no way to vet anybody

who is coming from them because the way you vet people is through their home country security services, there's no home country servicio de rentas internass in libya, yellen, in syria that we talked to or in somalia, iran is a state-sponsor of terrorism and i'm wonder if there's a way to keep bad people out of the country and at the same time run into optic issues. >> absolutely. you don't want them from coming into the country whether it's temporary or median turn or permanent. that's where the opposition choses the original came from. we may be able to solve the

problem. >> also the policy. you tightened up some of the security screening procedures, we may not have seen the opposition. >> crack down the number of people here. we know that you'll have thoughts on new executive order. thank you, ma'am. >> absolutely. >> fox news alert, quickly turned dangerous when a truck plowed into a crowd of people in new orleans. they were there celebrating mardi gras, 28 people injured and the driver in police custody, ryan following the story from new york news room as it continues this sunday, hi, bryan, we now know the identity of the person who was driving the pickup truck that crashed into a crowd of people at the mardi gras parade, one of the most popular and largest in the city leading up to mardi gras,

♪ ♪ leland: congress heads back to work tomorrow, but as we've been reporting for a week or so, lawmakers have not gotten a break from their constituents at town hall meetings. >> everyone in this room has been hurt or helped -- >> i have only been helped. obamacare saved my life, senator. >> nobody here, nobody, nobody here has not been affected by obamacare. leland: that was tom cotton, senator from arkansas. some lawmakers, both democrats and republicans, have skipped their town hall events, drawing even more criticism. others have gone and then charged that the angry voices were just paid protesters. joining us now, hillary shields of indivisible kansas city, a group organizing to, i guess it's fair to say, express your displeasure with president trump. is that fair?

>> well, i think that we're a group, we're really organizing to try and help constituents make their voices heard with their members of congress. it's not about president trump, it's about telling our stories to the people that represent us in washington. leland: represent you in washington -- >> i am not a paid protester. i have -- leland: what do you mean by you say you're not a paid protester? who funds indivisible kansas city? >> no one. i pay for copies to out of my own pocket to. i have lived in missouri since i was 7 years old. i love this state, i love my country, i believe in our democracy, and i just don't think that our representatives can be our voice in congress if they're not listening to us. so whether you agree with my positions or not, that's okay, but i think that my members of congress whether it's a democrat like claire mccaskill or a republican like roy blunt, they need to meet with their constituents and listen to what they have to say. leland: i want to get to each of

those individual senators in a minute, because both of them have interesting stories in terms of why they are not there and want to hear your opinion, but i want to get to this issue of who indivisible kansas city is, and it says you're nonpartisan, issues-focusedded, grassroots, just concerned constituents. but then if you look at the image that you guys have, this is indivisible we stand, it says indivisible, a practical guide for resisting the trump agenda. so how is that not anti-trump? how is that not partisan? >> sure. so i see us as being progressive, but not partisan. i'm taking my message to claire mccaskill and roy blunt, both a democrat and republican. now, we take our inspiration from the indivisible guide which gives you a blueprint of how your members of congress think and how to take your message to them. but for me, this isn't about party. this is about letting constituents speak with their members of congress. we have a representative

democracy, and that only works if our representatives are engaging with their constituents. leland: all right. you say you're nonpartisan, you say you've gone after both claire mccaskill and roy blunt, the senators from missouri -- >> well, i disagree with you saying we're going after them -- leland: well, your twitter feed's going after them. >> i'm sorry, what? leland: your twitter feed's going after them when you create the hashtag where's roy and another hashtag of resuggestioning trump tuesdays. i think that would be fair to say you're going after people, wouldn't you? >> i think saying where is roy is saying where is this senator who represents all missourians? why isn't he having public town hall meetings during recess week, which we call it recess week, but really it's home district workweek. this is the week that they have off from d.c. so they can be in their home states. leland: all right. so just so we can try to move along here, roy blunt we found out was overseas on a trip.

he sent us a statement here from his office. they said the group, referring to you all, knew ahead of time that he would not be in kansas city on the day and that they had people in springfield be yesterday. i guess you guys sent protesters down there. the dates of the gop lincoln days has been noted for months. he was at a gop lincoln days event, how is that not interacting with his constituents? >> so i think that it needs to be public, open forum that's open to all of his constituents, not just a partisan event. and i don't fault him for not coming to my town hall that i had yesterday. i fault him for not having a single open public town hall during this entire week. i understand that -- leland: hold on. do you fault claire mccaskill for not having a single open town hall as well, and if so, why didn't you do a hashtag of where's claire? >> well, claire mccaskill sent a representative to our event.

she sent -- leland: so so long as somebody sends a staffer, you guys don't do hashtags. >> and i also think she's going to be holding, she says she's going to hold some public town hall events in the near future -- leland: so she's, so if you send a representative or a staffer, that gets you a free pass, is that the idea? >> not, not a free pass, but -- leland: the free pass on your twitter account. [laughter] >> i guess you could say that -- leland: you can laugh, but there's not 400 where's claire or hashtags on your twitter account. >> well, if roy blunt had sent a member of his staff, we wouldn't have had to use a cardboard cutout to represent him. leland: i guess we'll check with his staff to see if he'll send somebody next time. >> i sure hope they will. thank you so much. leland: thanks so much. elizabeth: international news now, iran's navy is kicking off a massive annual drill in an area which has been the scene of

previous confrontations with the u.s. it's the first major exercise si president trump. inauguration of president trump. ing fox news correspondent conor powell is live in jerusalem with more. hi, conor. >> reporter: hi, elizabeth. well, iran's navy conducts these military exercises annually, so it's a fairly common event, but it is the first time that iran's navy is conducting these exercises since president trump took office vowing to get tough on tehran. and since his administration has declared that iran is on notice after it fired a ballistic missile recently. iranian state tv said these drills near the strategic strait of hormuz are being carried out to improve the readiness against terrorism and piracy. the drills include iranian naval ships and helicopters and will take place across some two million square kilometers. now, nearly a third of all oil traded at sea passes through the strait of hormuz, it's a really strategic spot, but it's also the scene where the u.s. navy

has sort of run and done battle with the iranian navy as well. last month a u.s. destroyer fired warning shots at four iranian fast track attack vehicles as they were really approaching the u.s. ships too quickly. but it should be noted that so far there's no reports that among the drill participants on the iranian side are the iranian paramilitary force, iran's elite forces there. but this is, obviously, being watched by the trump administration as tensions between both iran and washington, d.c. are heating up in the last few weeks, elizabeth. elizabeth: all right. conor powell reporting live, thank you so much. coming up after the break, the new dnc chairman, former labor secretary tom perez, got the nod, and he's got a lot on his plate. we're going to bring in a fair and balanced panel to weigh in on the past for democrats. well, the weather's warm, it's always nice, you know, to shed a little bit, but here this leggy statue has some people feeling a little hot under the collar.

red, and then we have another full screen of gop representatives, and then we have gop state legislature. and you can just see really the majority that we're seeing across the united states. so i want to ask you as we reflect on the weekend, what do democrats face as we approach the 2018 midterms? >> i must tell you, that screen -- even though i can't see it, i know that, i've seen it before, and it's a lot of work, a lot, a lot of work if i may say so. listen, what tom perez and the democrats have to do, they've got to get unified, together. the sanders' democrats have got to play nice in the sand box and power share with tom perez which is why keith ellison was named deputy chair of the dnc. secondly, they've got to get on the ground and energize their base and go after those trump voters who are democratic voters who have grown tired of the democrats and believe that the economy has left them behind.

if they do those things, on that map 14 of 35 governorships are up in 2018. those 14 open seats are what the democrats have to target. after that in 2020, they've got to go after the senate and the house, any open seats there, but they've got to have a progressive economic message that talks to white working class, former dems as opposed to at them. elizabeth: okay. >> because when the dems talk to that white working class, they don't believe in that message. elizabeth: okay. when we pop up that governors' race screen, and people may ask at home why are we talking about gubernatorial races. they are very important because governors make huge decisions. we're talking about districting, and so when we talk about governors' races, they are incredibly important. jose, i want to bring you in here because it's not that republicans should be resting on their laurels just because we're seeing all this red and the pink in the map that we pond up. >> well, and you're absolutely right. the democrats really are in their weakest position in about

100 years, and the map shows one tale not only of the governorships, but also of the house and the senate and the opportunities that we have coming up as soon as 2018. but i think all you need to know about the democratic party today is the fact that they elected tom perez as the chairman yesterday. he is, i've met him, he's a nice guy, but the fact of the matter is that he was the most liberal member of the obama administration, he is clinton and obama 2.0. i must say that as a mexican-american and as someone born in mexico, i'm always thrilled when there is a hispanic who is, who is elected to a leadership position here in the american body politic, but he is absolutely no match to our new, my friend and our new rnc chairman boss, chairwoman rhonda mcdaniel, who we elected unanimously the day before the inaugural and who's off to a great start particularly on the fundraising side where we've had
