we want very badly that the democrats really don't like, and that's the border wall. at the same time there is something they want very badly that we don't like very much which are these cost sharing reductions, the obamacare payments. ordinarily, in a properly functioning washington, d.c., as in any business, this would be the basis upon which a negotiated resolution could be achieved. we he would offer them $1 of csr payments for $1 of wall payments. that's the offer we have given to democratic colleagues that should form of the fundamental understanding that gets us to bipartisan agreement. >> we will see about that. it's going to be one interesting week in washington. abby: i can't imagine that. >> i will in washington in the coming days. to me it's a story almost undercover to some extent. spent so much time on other things. some of them silly, some of them very important. the fact of the matter is if there isn't an agreement on friday the government shuts down. is that the end of the world?

♪ abby: welcome back. in one week president trump will mark his first 100 days in office and the president says the treatment by the press has been unfair during those first few months tweeting this: no matter how much i accomplished during the

ridiculous standard during the first 100 days and it has been a lot including media will kill including south carolina. a new study by the media research center agrees so far broadcast coverage of the trump administration has been 89% negative. here to break it down rich from the media research center. good to have you this morning. >> thank you, abby. abby: there used to be something called a honeymoon period those first 100 days where regardless of party the media let's them figure out what it means to be president. give them sort of the benefit of the doubt. you said we have not seen that at all this time around. >> not this time, no. 8 years ago chris matthews after the election said his job as a journalist weighs to help the new president, barack obama succeed. that's not the way the media or the liberal media at least are treating president trump in his first 100 days. it has been the first most hostile, most negative reaction to a new president that i can remember and i have been doing this for over 30 years. abby: we have a graph we can

pull up that shows the media coverage first 100 days. i'm not talking about opinion coverage. mainstream media, abc, cbs, nbc evening news. it says 1501 negative statements including partisan. 186 positive statements including partisan as well. that's pretty unreal when you look at that graph there, rich. >> what we did was basically took what the journalism was. we -- these are reporter statements. these are experts. these are voters. this is not nancy pelosi and chuck schumer sound bites including donald trump or republicans praising donald trump. this is the media spin that surrounds that conversation, and it is almost 90% negative. abby: here's the challenge. here is another graph you can see. doesn't matter what the president says. overall the blanket of coverage is negative. it doesn't matter if he's on obamacare. if he is talking about immigration. if he is just talking about, i don't know, how his day is going. it seems like the coverage is always negative in some way. >> it is. these are the top five issues that the media gravitated to to talk about the first 100 days.

things like the travel badge, the unproved allegations about russia, obamacare. over90% negative in all of those categories. a topic the president wanted to talk about economy and jobs, less than 1% of his coverage. abby: let's look at this past week, rich. three attacks already on the president this week. one of them was on this attack in france, right? and he calling it a terrorist attack. msnbc, they were really upset about that that he called it a terrorist attack. and they went sort of nuts on this. take a look. >> president trump said right off the bat to a question looks like another terrorist attack in france. we have not been comfortable to call it that or report that. >> the president was referring to what he was watching on television. and you do wonder are people going to take what he said as some idea that that he knows something more than what anybody else does. abby: rich? >> this is a press so comfortable with the last president who called the fort

hood shooting a workplace violence. i mean, they are not comfortable with this. the president called it terrorism and it turns out the president was right. abby: yeah. what about the patriots? they went to visit the white house on wednesday this week. the "new york times," of course, politicized that event saying well back when they visited president barack obama there were more players that came. they ended up having to apologize for saying that saying they were wrong in all of this. but were you surprised? >> it's such a small little issue but they are trying to tweak donald trump's ego. they are misrepresenting the number of people who were there because people were sitting in the audience this time where they were on the stairs last time. we have seen this on and on for the the 100 days. this is supposed to be the best part of his presidency. rougher here with the press if history is a guide. abby: american people just want fair coverage. >> right. abby: rich, thanks for being here this morning. thanks a lot. hundreds of illegal votes were

of the visit by egypt's president presidency is i earlier this month. ed: wade, since this was going on for three years, how much of a priority was it in the obama administration? were they pushing as well and just things opened up now or was there more pressure as you say from the trump administration that opened the door? what really happened here? >> it's a great question. so for over two years the case just languished with procedural delays. the family didn't want to raise too much attention. but once it hit that two year mark and they were kept in jail longer than even egyptian law should allow them to be, they approached the obama administration and they asked will you come out strongly in support of our daughter, of our sister? and you know what? they did. the obama administration issued a very strong statement calling for her release and calling for the charges to be dropped. there was a lot of international attention and pressure that stepped up after that took place. and then after that, there was a trial. a new judge was put in place

and then a trial was set in motion. that trial continued at a regular pace after that fact until march and then it paused. and that's when the critical juncture happened because just a week later, presidency is i was here in the united states meeting with president trump. connell: timing of it sounds like it was important meeting between president el-sisi and president trump. something more president himself said or the team handling that. >> at the direction of president trump, his team was highly engaged at multiple levels of the egyptian government prioritizing aya's case. but we have come to learn that president trump himself did speak with presidency is i about aya's case to stress the importance. so that personal engagement really is key. at the very least, it provided the political space for this judge in egypt to rule free from any influence that might have been there to convict her and her egyptian lawyers did such an amazing job in the court that there was absolutely no evidence against her. abby: absolutely. >> so the judge was able to

issue a full acquittal for both aya, her husband mohammed and all of the colleagues in the case. abby: how is aya doing? >> she is doing well e it's been a whirlwind week. she was in egyptian prison. they didn't know the fate of the rest of her life facing a life sentence. last sunday gets a full acquittal, gets released on tuesday. meeting with government officials throughout the week and then flying home to andrews air force base on thursday. meeting president trump yesterday. so i think for any of us that would be a lot, let alone to come on the heels of three years of being in egyptian dissension. i have to say after meeting her, upon her arrival in the u.s., her spirit is strong. her husband, mohammed's spirit is strong. it's really beautiful. because i think they don't know what's going to be next, specifically. but they are still dedicated to making this world a better place. it's going to be exciting to see.

♪ connell: the french election huge tore. 24 hours away. after thursday's terror attack in paris which left one police officer dead and two injured, the election now shifts to address one key issue and that would be security. president trump even weighing in with the tweet saying another terrorist attack in paris, the people of france will not take much more of this. we'll havwill have a big effecte presidential election. that's the question for us this weekend how will this recent wave of terror attacks impact french voters? here is counter terrorism analyst at the heritage foundation rob simcox. we have former u.s. army intelligence officer andrew pique and executive vice president for the center of

security policy jim hanson. welcome to all three of you. rob, let me start with you how big that impact is conventional wisdom as it helps the far right candidate marine la pen. >> france has been living under a state of emergency now for 18 months. it's been a very constant string of terrorist attacks, terrorist plots. dozens of them in recent years. attacks like that in the charlie hebdo magazine in paris. accord nateed isis attacks in 2015. nice last summer. if this has an impact, i think it will be because it's essentially the straw breaking the camel's back and french voters deciding that the status quo cannot go on. we have to remember it's not normal the amount of attacks taking place in france and understandably french people are very concerned about it. connell: to rob's point, jim, this has happened before not only the most recent attacks but in the election in 2012 terror attack in the final weeks of that election. >> impact didn't go the way the conventional wisdom was predicting it.

we they thought at the time it would help nicholas sarkozy, an incumbent, a conservative but in fact a socialist won. it's time to predict politics whether it's here or there, right? >> absolutely. i have think one thing you can predict is that this has been a continued erosion of french nationalism. the french are proud. they take their culture seriously. one thing they have seen is that there is an escape clause from the european union. the british did it you know, they saw this as no longer a done deal. so as french culture reasserts itself, as they look at, you know, the open borders, free travel, the mass of immigrants that have come in and have not assimilated, they say why can't we be french again? i think marine la pen represents that sentiment. i think that's going to help her whether it puts her over the top we will see. they are french. connell: you brought up the british. you are right, that's kind of the lens everybody is looking through this with. before we go to andrew let me go to nigel farage who has

become famous for brexit vote. break here. some people are using the term frexit. i don't know why we need a term for all of this. listen to what nigel farage had to say. >> if la pen was to win, then brexit, frankly, was nothing. it will be the end of the european project. connell: that is dramatic, andrew, the end of the european project. what do you make of it? >> i'm not necessarily sure that's a great thing for the united states. i mean, if the european fractures totally, then all have you is individual member states being subject to more russian influence and more russian domination. i think he is quite right where t. will have a massive impact in undermining some of the kind of the p.c. culture that will ultimately i suspect doom populist and nationalists like marine la pen at the ballot box since she has to face a second round election if she comes in the top two on this one on may 7th. >> is this the point that andrew brings up, rob that is

important one for us and the united states in how we interpret all of this. the instinct among many trump supporters is to say yeah, nationalism is good. look how it led to the election of donald trump here. however, is it in our interest, in the interest of the united states to have someone like marine la pen be the leader of france? >> taking la pen out of it for a second i think the european union you have to say has gotten an awful lot of systemic problems and appears to be increasingly unpopular in europe. obviously britain rejects britain epitomized that there is a push not just for for nationalism, more sovereignty and determination in europe. these principles are obviously very familiar to american people and americans should be supportive of the europeans who want more sovereignty, more self-determination in their lives. he. connell: quick answer, jim, just because we have to wrap this up. what do you think happens and what would be the best case for the u.s.? >> i won't shed a singletary for the demise of the eu.

i can understand, you know, the danger that a fractured europe presents. but i think we can deal with the individual nation states. i think they are stronger without a euro accurate culture running things. so we'll see if marine la pen wins and brings that either way i think they are heading in that direction. connell: it's a big story we will cover it more tomorrow: abby over to you. abby: i want to bring other headlines starting with the wikileaks releasing more cia documents as look to arrest julian assange. the website latest leak include descriptions of malware that could turn certain samsung tvs into recording devices. this comes amid reports that the doj is preparing charges against a wikileaks founder. assange was asylum in 2012 and has been living in london's ecuadorian embassy ever since. turns out illegal voters were cast in 2016 election. the north korea board of election reveals 508 people voted illegally.

law are on their side. regardless, let me be clear chicago's values and chicago's future are not for sale. ed: what do these sanctuary cities stand to lose? here to weigh in is the director of research at the center for immigration studies steve camerota. good morning, thanks for coming in. >> good morning. ed: first, let's start with sanctuary cities and then we will get to the dreamers. what's your sense about the truth of the sanctuary cities. we talked about this at the top of the show. you have the cities who are pushing back. >> yeah, look, what are we talking about here? when a legal immigrant, usually someone who has mitted a crime is identified in a local jail, that's what we are talking about for these cities, the federal government asks that that local city hold that person until they can come and pick them up. because, remember, everyone's fingerprints get submitted. so they can identify these people pretty well. what these cities say is no. although you've asked us to hold, although have you reason for us to hold, we're not. we're going to release that person anyway. so that's essentially what they're doing and what the

justice department is saying unlike the obama justice department. no, you're going to start to lose federal funding for a host of programs that will certainly total hundreds of millions and certainly more than that. that seems perfectly reasonable because all the federal government is doing is saying, look, we will take this person off your hands and they are refusing this basic form of cooperation. abby: right. steven, when it comes to these sanctuary cities fighting back, who is going to win this battle in the end? >> that's a good question it seems like good grounds for the trump administration to fight as long as they make it about law and order. these states are essentially a kind of -- they are trying to do a nullification like the southern states said we don't have to follow the federal government. but, of course, they do have to follow federal law. this is a perfectly reasonable request and i think that most americans think it's pretty outrageous that cities don't hold people even for 24 hours when the federal government asks them to. abby: i think holding would support that as well. ed: request.

we mentioned at the want to hour there is a senate leader in california, a democrat saying that this policy is actually a white supremacy policy. react to that kind of hysterical criticism but also this narrative in the mainstream media right now that donald trump as president is kicking dreamers out of the country? >> yeah. on the first question it seems outrageous obviously the federal government should be completely neutral on a person's race or country of origin if they are illegally in the country, they should pick them up at a local jail and local community should cooperate. i think most of the people in those cities would want that. this policy reflects the activity of activists. on the question of whether the trump administration is deporting people who came at young ages, although they certainly can and they do, they have given this status -- status has been given, this protected status called daca has been given to over 700,000 people and so far i think 42, so a trivial fraction have been deported and it's because they have committed crimes. abby: if you watch the

mainstream media you would not get that sense. steven camerota, good to have you with us this morning. >> thanks for having me. ed: appreciate you breaking that down. democrats are practically begging chelsea clinton to run for office but now even the liberal media says no way. abby: plus, what is more dangerous, isis or the. in ra? that is the question one professor is asking. what does nra member david webb think about that? we are going to ask him next. come on, in david. ♪ i'll be pulling through ♪ this time, baby, i'll be bullet proof ♪

posed by one professor emeritus at the university of missouri. connell: george kennedy's comments sparking outrage by second amendment advocates and gun owners. ed: joining us now is david webb. what do you think about, this professor? >> wow, first of all, this is a false premise. they love to set up these arguments where isis is more dangerous than the nra and it's a numbers game. only so many people have been killed by terrorism. by the way, this professor talks about nine deaths. i would remind him that orlando, the nightclub was 48 plus the terrorists and san bernardino, add the numbers up, fort hood was a terrorist attack. so he is not even right on his numbers. the idea is to set up a false argument and draw us into it. here is what i am saying to america. don't get drawn into it. it's not relative one to the other. connell: if we're going to take a look at his argument for a moment and see it in his own words. similar question to you what do you mean by this?

professor kennedy saying what makes the nra so feared its willingness to spend. goal removing all restriction use of firearms just about anywhere by just about anyone. seems to me, david, you can make one argument and make the other argument by putting the two together doesn't make sense. >> and frankly patently false. everything he just said about the nra. nra advocates are for proper training, proper law enforcement and obeying the laws as they exist under the second amendment. they are not for the wild, wild west as they like to put it out there in these little elitist theories. abby: sounds like the university is not trying to claim him. self-not actually an employee of ours. keeping their distance. >> then you would have to ask yourself the question why would a university want to distance itself from a professor who clearly is attached to them? apparently they don't even agree because they realize that the majority of americans, regardless of party, don't agree with this kind of extremist rhetoric. abby: yeah.

connell: old argument that the odds of a terror attack are so low. the odds of being struck by lightning to. conflate that with whether or not you have a gun or whether someone that law abiding way is using a gun is not relate you had. >> let me give you another perspective and how the left likes to place arguments. they talk about crimes committed by, say, illegal aliens and those lawfully present in america. you don't use that comparison either. the fact is if you remove the crimes committed by illegal aliens from the picture you have less crimes being committed. they conflate things. they put them together. they create false premises or for the lawyers out there specious arguments and we get in that debate. don't engage them in the debate simply refute it. abby: that's good advice. good to have you here, david. brand new video sparking more airline outrage overnight. a flight attendant accused of hitting a mother with a stroller. the airlines' response is just ahead. connell: how do you catch a stoner on 420? one police department just set

it was big border tour for he and john kelly the secretary of homeland security. connell: it's become a big political story for many of the cities including the one we are sitting in right now. let's first listen to the attorney general. >> today, the department of justice sent letters to nine jurisdictions that were identified by the obama administration as having policies that potentially violate federal law and which receive millions of dollars in federal grants. these jurisdictions have until june 30th to send their legal justifications for why they are not in violation of federal law and the state of california is one of these jurisdictions. sanctuary jurisdictions put criminals back on the streets. they help these gangs to refill their ranks and put innocent life, including the lives of countless law abiding immigrants in danger by refusing to share vital information with federal law enforcement.

enough is enough. ed: yeah, well, folks in the media, liberal critics going wild about this. this something the president talked about in the campaign. abby: i would say why? they have been talking about this for months and months. only thing here they are putting a date on the map. june 30th that's when the funds are going to go away if you do not comply with the law. ed: we had a guest in the last hour saying this is a reasonable proposal follow existing law. what's crazy about that? connell: interesting politics at play in a number of cities i think. chicago is one of them where there has been a spike in crime. people argue that's not a spark in immigration. new york is the second one which really got interesting last night. new police commissioner jimmy o'neil in new york city. i know the mayor, mayor bill de blasio gets a lot of attention. the new police commissioner was very angry fighting back with all these stats. crime and record lows in all that that doesn't necessarily mean you are complying with the federal law. ed: when he was jumping the commissioner and mayor de blasio jumping on a statement from the department of justice which said, quote, many of

these jurisdictions are also crumbling under the weight of illegal immigration and violent crime. seems obvious. new york city continues to see gang murder after gang murder, the predictable consequence of the city's soft on crime stance. that's what got him. soft on crime. abby: if you listen to what the president, what his -- the people he surround himself with has been talking from the beginning of the campaign days they have always been on the side of the police officers. i will say that the reminder to be so careful with the words that you use because, as we have been talking about in the show, the media coverage, the mainstream media coverage of the president even in just first 100 days are always going to find the negative side of it. talk about being soft on crime even though they were talking about the liberal policies put in place by mayor bill de blasio. they will take it there. connell: it's about changing the subject taking it from one thing on to another. here is the mayor of new yorken bill de blasio and police commissioner worked up last night. >> it's outrageous statement

and it's absurd on its face and ignores a quarter century of progress in this city bringing down crime. >> i would like to think of myself as a pretty common measured person and i think i present myself that way. but when i read that statement by doj this afternoon, my blood began to boil. ed: is he a cop's cop i know jim o'neil. kind of what you said a moment ago which is right on point. this is shiftingth top ping. there is no way you can make the case credibly that jeff sessions and attorney general re anti-cop. connell: says the numbers are down wants to make the point. can i understand his point on that. ed: bill de blasio? abby: talk about words matter? let's think back on the words bill mayor has said talking about the police in his own city? take a listen. this is back in 2014. >> i've had to worry over the years, have to worry was donte

safe each night? and not just from some of the painful realities crime and violence in some of our neighborhoods but they say from the very people that want y want to have faith in as their protecters. the department will act aggressively tone sure any officer who is not meant to be in this work no longer is. those who don't live up to the values of the uniform, who are quote, unquote, brutal, who are corrupt, who are racist, who are incompetent. abby: what does that do to the morale of our police force? ed: talking about his own son when he mentioned his son saying that he was concerned that the people who are supposed to protect his son as a mixed race individual might not protect him. that was a pretty sharp statement about his own police officers. connell: it was a huge story in the city at that time and there were a number of racially charged cases in the news at the time. and his relationship couldn't have been worse. maybe it's gotten a little bit better. i don't know.

it couldn't have been any worse. ed: kind of chemical comical foy anti-cop. abby: i can't remember what i said even though did i on tv. ed: speaking of politicians with shifting stance's and whatnot. president obama back. he is going to make his first public appearance since leaving the white house on monday yes, in his hometown of chicago. abby: he has been on vacation for the past few months as you can see there he's going to do is it a town hall is what we are hearing? connell: i think that's the format. abby: he says he doesn't want to answer any questions about president trump. but i have a hard time really thinking that's going to be the case. you know he is going to be asked about everything going on today. i have a feeling there are going to be some statements that are made that are highly political. how do you get yourself in that situation and not talk about politics and not talk about president trump? connell: very difficult to do. every word he says will be looked in to so carefully. former official in the obama administration.

monaco talking about this. it does bring up a political question about who is really the leader of the democratic party even now. ed: is it chuck schumer or nancy pelosi? >> shear is what she said first. i think barack obama is probably still the leader of the democratic party even though he is on a hiatus right now. hopefully this will be going into 2018 will be a moment where the democratic party's identity crisis is over. al al that's when you realize they don't have a leader. remember when nancy pelosi was saying couldn't answer that question. that's the challenge the democrats have right now is figuring out what their messaging is what do they stand for? and who is the person that is going to lead us forward? ed: there is an event this week where democratic party officials are introducing tom perez, the new dnc chair and they there were boos that he was coming out. and some in the crowd, democratic faithful were chanting bernie, bernie. bernie still gets huge crowds. connell: fired up, obviously. they have to come out with someone different because there is the movement --

movement is the right word but a lot of enthusiasm on the left now that is just anti-trump enthusiasm. and who -- ed: another clinton emerging? abby: if you read the media, there has been this movement to try to get chelsea clinton to run for office. even now you have members of the left media saying enough is enough. ed: vanity fair coming out and saying look at all of this sand saying amid all investigation into russian interference perhaps we ought to consider whether the kremlin helped put chelsea clinton on the cover of variety or maybe superstition explains it god is a creed that american political dynasty suitability. call it the george h.w., george w. jeb rule. quit after the first iteration. don't trot out the second one. for the love of god don't trot out the third. abby: you read that well, ed. ed: thank you was that dramatic.

novellest his greatest piece of fiction iran deal to his echo chamber. ben rhodes is out of government now. he was the deputy national security advisor for strategic communications. he is not in the intel community. and this state department claim that iran is complying, again, like you said, it relies on iran telling us they're complying. submitting samples that they pick from declared sites to present to a highly intimidated iaea. so, i would rather the intelligence community verify that iran is in compliance than ben rhodes as a civilian or the state department. ed: all right. so let's go to someone who is actually in the government representative zeldin, i wonder what you say to what the former administration is claiming and the iranian foreign minister was out on twitter a couple days ago saying we are complying with the deal. it's time for the townhouse comply. is congress ready finally to hold iran's feet to the fire? >> well, congress has been ready to hold iran's feet to the fire since last congress. we had an administration --

ben rhodes, he is the former taxpayer funded white house fiction writer. that's what his job was to create a narrative of the obama foreign policy to best sell for domestic politics. that was his title then. now he is just a former. ed: i hear you, congressman, ben rhodes would say no it was not fiction. i guess we are trying to figure out we know the past. what's the future? what's this congress? because we have been talking about this for a couple of years, what can you actually do about it. >> so we need the assistance of the administration with a new administration. i mean, congress has a couple of main functions. one is oversight. the house foreign affairs committee conducting hearings and bringing fackets to life as it relates to what was just referenced with secret side deals between the iaea and iran the verification agreement and stories about how iran collecting some of their own soil samples or inspecting their own nuclear sites. you know, so when the house foreign affairs committee is conducting those hearings, the oversight function is helpful.

the legislation and appropriation standpoint, wherever we can whatever up sanction and pressure we need to put the leverage back on the table. that's what happened with obama administration cutting the iran nuclear deal in the first place we had the leverage that brought them to the table negotiated on a way flawed unsigned political commitment and left all of the bad activities off the table all together. now we need to put the leverage back on the table to bring them back so we can talk about all the other bad activities. ed: speaking about that leverage. i want to bring in ryan morrow. they have opposition group that claims they have evidence that the iranians have actually been cheating on the deal. are we to believe this opposition group? what's their credibility? >> well, they have a history of federal reporting on nuclear activities. they revealed two hidden nuclear sights in 2002. this is iranian opposition group that is fighting for secular democracy and not sharia law. ed: okay. all right. i think your mike is off a little bit. we're going to try to fix that

i want to go back to michael. what do you know about this iranian opposition group? >> well, what i know is they are credible. yes, they were designated or an umbrella group for designated formerly designated terror group nek. one that iran sheltered. having said that of the information they provided in the past has been spot on. particular departure. what we are talking about this military facility named parchen where likely the russian s-300s went there were trace particles of uranium that the iaea found. iran said we are not doing anything bad here. instead of declaring that it was taste facility they said nothing was taking place. the iaea found samples. the obama administration said not a big deal. and it is a big deal. ed: it is a big deal for sure. ryan, i want to go back to you. sorry about that technical problem. what is your bottom line about this opposition group saying look there is evidence that there is covert work going on

about the iranian government right now. we need to know about this. they have history of reporting on nuclear sites. we need to take it seriously. look at the contrast between the iranian regime isn't isn't allowing any women to run for president. look at this opposition group led by a woman advocating secular advocacy sharia law. clear whose side we want to be on. ed: you are in congress. you have a powerful voice there by the end of this year will the trump administration be able to get the u.s. out of this nuclear deal as president trump suggest you had back during the campaign? >> well, strategically, i don't know if the administration would believe that the best strategy would be to just tear up the deal on our end. actually, by us enforcing the deal, you see iran, whenever we ramp up sanctions, ramp up pressure with regards to the -- their violation of u.n. security council resolution, test firing intercontinental ballistic missiles, financing terror, overthrowing foreign

governments as you enforce the nuclear deal and you ramp up pressure with all of iran's other bad activities, it's actually the iranians who will create the opening to allow us to have new terms. i don't think the administration believes in just ripping it up is the best path forward. they think actually enforcing it will actually help with the international narrative and create a window for a better path forward. ed: scary situation, congressman, michael and ryan, we appreciate you bringing perspective and insight to this very important debate. thanks for being here. >> thank you. ed: the headlines say it all white house grapples with how to sell the first 100 days. 100 days of horror is to too soon to judge the president's accomplishments? we have a big day ahead. corey lewandowski, geraldo rivera and trish regan here live ♪ she said any way you want it ♪ that's the way you need it ♪ any way you want it

president trump issued that temporary travel halt from several middle eastern countries. abby? abby: thank you, connell. we are just one week out for president trump. 100th day in office. the commander-in-chief blasting the media though and the milestone tweeting this yesterday. no matter how much i accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days and it has been a lot, including supreme court justice the media will kill. so should there be so much hype around the president's first 100 days in office. here now to debate fox news contributor richard fowler and guy benson political editor for town hall.com and of course a fox news contributor. good morning to both of you. thanks for being here. >> good morning, happy saturday. abby: happy saturday. guy, does the president have a point here say you look past on the 100 days i haven't received fair coverage. >> yeah, i think the media is mostly against donald trump. i think that's pretty clear. and to some extent the first 100 days' metric is sort of an invention. the issue is he embraced that invention and that standard

himself when he got elected and talked about this ambitious initial agenda, some of which he has not gotten around to. i think year al overall from a conservative's perspective the number one accomplishment for this president is the supreme court pick neil gorsuch who is on the court with rumors there is another vacancy coming possibly as soon as this summer. if he gets two conservatives on there his legacy is cemented for decades. abby: oa lot of people i have spoken to around the country said the number one issue for me was the supreme court and putting someone in place. that is something he has done whether you agree with him or not. also i believe 25 executive orders in first 92, 93 days. >> that is right. i have think you have got to give the president credit and republicans credit for changing the rules to make sure they got neil gorsuch on. that is his only major accomplishment. i think guy is right on the point that the first 100 days was a creation by fdr when that was an era when you could send a bill to congress by monday morning and sign it by monday night. that's not the washington we are in today.

and sadly donald trump took on this mantra and then sort of said here's all the things we are going to get done. we are going to repeal and replace obamacare. we're going to get infrastructure and get tax reform. he has not been able to work with the building behind me to get that done. and so that is why his first 100 days has been a failure. not to mention the fact that a lot of his cabinet positions, subcabinet level are empty. the justice department is empty. department of education is empty. the department of energy is empty, on and on and on and on. i think -- and that last less to do with the media and more to do with donald trump's management style. abby: you would have critics say to that, guy, mission before he was officially brought in as president out to get him. want to get himmism peached and want to make sure he gets nothing done. what do you have to say about first 100 days? how do you judge them. >> number one thing for me was the supreme court pick. look, the republicans control both houses of congress at this point.

abby: if they are going to get anything done it's now, right? >> have you been arguing for years now we need all three of these things and the american people said okay you've got them and now it's time for results on obamacare, on tax reform probably in that order. look, it's not like the ball has been completely dropped on these things. there is progress being made from what we understand on healthcare but a lot of voters are keeping a very close eye on what's happening on capitol hill and the president and the vice president i think have been very active in trying to get that ball rolling and still the momentum continuing. so the jury is out. abby: richard, where are some areas, if any that you think both parties can work together? that's what the american people are wanting. they want washington to start doing work for them to. make their lives better. where do you see any sort of common ground coming together? >> here's the thing. this is the mistake that i think donald trump made in first we are now going to say first 100 days next week. he should have went for something that was going to get democrats on board at the beginning. i think the winner would have been infrastructure reform or funding infrastructure.

democrats have for the past 8 years of the obama presidency really talk about how we fund freezing rain structure and how we fix our nation's airports. how we fix our nation's bridges. how we bring high speed rail to measure america. donald trump agrees with them on that particular point. sadly they went for healthcare first and tried to get it done in 17 days and they failed. so now the political capital is running out on capitol hill. abby: as i mentioned earlier you have a number of democrats real live in resistance mode. they don't want the president to get anything passed even if he might bring up something that they somewhat agree with, it seems like no matter what have you some members in congress that are not willing to budge. >> i don't know how that plays politically if you get elected as a republican and the first thing that you do is spend a trillion dollars on freezing rain structure. i know he talked about it but the priorities for the republican base and something that they have been running on as a party for multiple cycle he is is repealing and replacing obamacare. tax reform has been a goal for decades. i understand the prioritization of those two issues. abby: well, we are hearing

that a rollout of tax reform may be to come this week as soon as wednesday. we will wait anxiously on that. guy benson and richard fowler good to have you here this morning. >> good to be here, abby. abby: harvard university tells its students they can change their gender every single day. and the comment that many say could doom elizabeth warren's white house dream up next ♪ i will scream ♪ out tonight ♪ can you hear my voice ♪ this time this is my fight song ♪ take back my life song as ♪ a lot of people have vertical blinds. well, if a lot of people jumped off a bridge, would you? you hungry? i'm okay right -- i'm... i'm becoming my, uh, mother. it's been hard, but some of the stuff he says is actually pretty helpful. pumpkin, bundling our home and auto insurance is a good deal!

receive millions of dollars in federal grants. these jurisdictions have until june 30th to send their legal justifications for why they are not in violation of federal law in the stat -- and e of california is in violation. they put criminals back on the streets. they help the gangs to refill their ranks and put innocent life, including the lives of countless law abiding immigrants in danger by refusing to share vital information with federal law enforcement. enough is enough. connell: now whatever your opinion of the administration's policy is, and some may agree and some may disagree what they are doing here. to your point we knew what they were going to be doing here. when you have reaction california democrat fired back at sessions saying immigration policies based on the principles of white supremacy. ed: you have here the whole statement. connell: kevin deis his name.

brought on the plane. >> analogies made to the egg mcif you have fin. connell: i will try to explain it questions in my mind about what happened. the woman is waiting to board the plane, apparently has a young child with her in the stroller. for some reason she had waited -- usually you would board first. maybe they didn't want to get on right away. not clear. she was outside where you would check the stroller right before getting on the plane. they are trying to push along. force her to get on. it may have been -- there is some sort of confrontation outside the doors that's not on camera. the stroller yanked away or taken away in some way, shape, or form, she is not happy. you are right. this guy gets up and stands up. so maybe she is off camera and he is on the plane. that man watching her either because there is a struggle over the stroller just off the plane. connell: just right to the left of that shot. abby: we don't have every single detail that went on. help us better understand this video because you have to put

it in context here the picture of what happened. i have think the main point here is traveling in general can be such a hassle. imagine traveling with children. i'm one of seven kids i know traveling with a big family can be a lot with a baby. no one should be treated with disrespect. so the question here is with the flight attendant why be so combative with one of your travelers that's not your role. ed: something went wrong. you look at the statement the actions of our team member captured here do into the appear to reflect patience or empathy, two values necessary for customer care. in short, we are disappointed by these actions. the american team member has been removed from duty while we immediately investigate this incident. so you can see yes they seem to be jumping on it maybe much quicker than united. they are still hedging because they don't have all the facts. taken him off duty but we are still investigating because we don't know what happened before that snippet of video. abby: yeah. connell: pointing in someone's face. people are weighing in. abby: we live in a world where you are traveling on a plane

or when you are anywhere, there are cameras wherever you go. there are cell phones. everything can be caught. so if you are running these airlines have you to be aware we live in a new world and the way you are treated. people are going nuts over. this. connell: channeling ed henry. people writing in all i have to say is chivalry is not dead. what an awesome passenger to stand up for what is right. abby: why does anyone expect to be treated by respect airline cattle cars for humans are all airlines are now. what other industry could treat their paying customers with total disdain and get away with it. i used to fly 250,000 miles a year. now 99% of my travel is by car. not worth the hassle. ed: wow. speaking of chivalry, referring to the fact that i made english muffin for abby. she had to read the headlines. working the toaster oven. can you take care of this. i was stepping up. abby: that's what goes on behind the scenes when people aren't watching. perfectly toasted. i feel so energized now. i have eaten it. it was great.

well. keith ellison sour grapes. he is deputy chair he wanted to be chairman of the dnc and lost that race to tom perez. is this sour grapes? is he angry? >> let me defend a little bit of what keith ellison said. you know, democrats can disagree and be stronger for it a great president is three things, peace and prosperity. obama largely delivered that they get reelected, they have to elect their successor. he did not do that 1030 is the number. nationally, state levels, governorships, those are unprecedented losses over two terms. what we had was this very -- i worked for him twice, both campaigns as well, marie. we had this very charismatic leader, almost start using that as a clutch. it happened with clinton it might have happened with kennedy had he not been assassinated. get lazy at building the grassroots and state level machinery. what do we have to do? we have to be honest. we can't put our head in the sand about the challenges. we have to rebuild the party.

the republican party has problems, too. look at paul ryan's approval ratings these days. parties around the world are having problems. the outsiders are the ones doing well. the democrats are going to have to learn a lot of those lessons. ed: but marie, we are expecting former president obama to make first big public appearance in chicago this coming week. is there a danger for the party though if he reemerges and given some of the war of words among some democrats that what went wrong he is going to overshadow a new generation of leaders? >> i don't think so, ed. and, look, i also agree that the party needs to rebuild and we did lose so many seats at the state level. we lost governorships. i don't think you can put the blame for that necessarily on barack obama's shoulders. we had a dnc that was not able to function very well. some of that certainly lies with the white house but a lot of that lies with the dnc. it lies with our leaders in congress who i don't think are the best voices for our party. so i do think that barack obama still engenders quite a bit of energy and enthusiasm

and i think having him out there as a leader in our party along with people like joe biden, for example, i think can help foster that next generation of leaders for this party that we need to in the wake of what was a pretty big disappointment in november. ed: david, real quick, you had elizabeth warren this week also say it was a stew of racism that elected donald trump. others saying it's out russians. at some point do the democrats have to look forward and stop looking backward? >> i agree 100 percent with that listen, that's putting your head in the sand. there is no single reason why trump won. certainly racism is not a single reason why donald trump won. what do the democrats do? look at the corporate turn arounds. look at the facts here is where we are exactly. here is where we are going and use leadership to get there rebooting our beliefs. redefining the center and reenergizing what we are form. it should be about making american solutions great again as a departure point. ed: great talking points this morning. thanks for coming in. >> thanks, i.d.

>> thanks, ed. ed: you may want to think twice before drinking diet soda new study says it could cause dementia. what you need to know. important information next. blago is back. speaking of democrats, he is now begging for freedom ♪ come fly with me ♪

♪ ed: some quick headlines another obama holdover told you're fired. the trump administration admission the former surgeon general. murphy appointed in 2014. the deputy surgeon rear admiral sylvia trent adams will replace him. ensure ago clean bill of health. president george h.w. bush will stay in a houston hospital through the weekend despite feeling terrific. the 92-year-old is recovering from a mild case of pneumonia.

this is the third time the 41st president of the united states has been hospitalized this year. get well soon. connell: that's exactly right. well said. you may want to hold off on cracking open a can of your favorite diet soda. this got a lot of attention on the internet. new research showing having at least one diet drink a day could triple your risk of stroke or dementia. abby: that's not news anyone wants to hear. hear with what you need to know dr. nicole saphier. good morning. >> good morning, guys. abby: what's the deal here? what is that study saying? >> people have switched from the normal sugary sodas because of diet sodas because of perceived risk the word diet is in it so it must be healthier. criticism for diet sodas sweeteners is not new. been doing it since the late 1900s. latest study adds to the growing concern essentially if you drink a diet soda at least once a day you have three times risk of developing dementia or even stroke. now, i want to say that it's

an association. the study was not designed for cause and effect. not saying you drink this and it's going to happen. just saying there is an association. didn't prove that diet soda causes brain damage. it just adds to the trend of you know maybe diet soda isn't as healthy alternative as we want to hear. connell: everything in moderation. abby: that's what you are telling yourself. diet coke is his guilty pleasure. connell: i actually like diet coke. it's interesting because headlines like this scare people half to death, right? >> right. connell: actual risk percentage wise has to be low. >> extremely low. less than 15%. by saying it's three times the risk that does scare people. i want to emphasize it's not cause and effect. you are not drinking diet soda and absolutely getting a stroke on or about alzheimer's. biggest risk is family history and lifestyle changes. so lifestyles can you do maybe we do limit this. just because this study says diet soda is not bad that does not mean go back to sugary alternative.

we know that causes diabetes. abby: no one would ever do that. connell: bottom line not the healthiest thing in the world. >> everyone knows water number one. drink a lot of water. start your day off with a cup of coffee as close to black as you can tolerate it tons of health benefits. from there green tea. abby: so great. >> green tea packed with antioxidants. abby: i drink mint tea all day long. >> hot chocolate. can't grab any hot chocolate. made of dark chocolate or really pure, it is supposed to be fantastic for you. i really recommend hot chocolate if you need that sweetness. having a small glass of milk throughout the day will actually help curb some of your hunger and help you lose weight which is beneficial for a lot of health reasons. abby: moderation and add in other things that are

healthier. connell: dr. saphier thank you. can president trump call his first 100 day as success? going to be asking former campaign manager corey lewandowski is here next. abby: do you ever wonder what happens when you leave your puppy home all by itself? this morning the scientists have the news you are looking for. i hope. so ♪ happy at home ♪ with my best friend ♪ oh, you're making me live ♪ we know steve. it's good to be in (good hands). this is bill's yard. and bill has a "no-weeds, not in my yard" policy. but with scotts turf builder weed & feed, bill has nothing to worry about. it kills weeds and greens grass, guaranteed. this is a scotts yard.

>> good morning. connell: he may be right it's ridiculous standard 100 days if you don't solve world peace on day 101 somehow that's different, i don't know. however, talk about -- i'm going to fall for the trap myself. talk about what he has accomplished in your view in the first 100 days. the gorsuch confirmation is the obvious big one. what else? >> if you are a coal miner or steel worker or more importantly a veteran who put on their uniform and stood up for our country donald trump has taken care of you i in the t 100 days and fulfilling campaign promises. he signed a bill which gave veterans the choice to go and get healthcare wherever they wanted to go. that should have been done a long time ago. a pledge he made in the campaign he fulfilled this week. he stood up for the steel workers this week to make sure we can compete on global steel and making sure no one is dumping illegal steel and going to do that. unlocked the keystone pipeline. if you look at all the things he has done so far, he has made the promises during the

campaign and holding those promises. look, more importantly, he has also saved $86 billion by reducing government regulations on small businesses because he signs an executive order that said for every one new government regulation e going to delete two new government regulations. these are the things that get the economy moving again. abby: as we have seen the media has not been completely fair as you know in their coverage of president trump. so all he can really do to combat that not go against them but prove he is getting stuff done. a big one that people are waiting on is tax reform. how confident are you in tax reform getting done? how soon do you think we will see that? >> i think the president has three big items to still get done on his agenda he has talked about which is the tax reform. that's going to move forward from what we have heard him say very soon. we know the repeal and replace of obamacare is still on the white house's agenda. it looks like they may be taking that up again as early as this coming week. trillion-dollar infrastructure bill which he has pledged to move forward we can make sure our roads and bridges are up

to date and rebuilding our communities. when you look at those three things, any of those would be considered major accomplishment by any single administration. he is going to get all of them done is the difference because he pushes everybody to work harder, to work better. he is the greatest deal maker our country has ever seen. i'm confident all three of those will get done by the end of the first year i. abby: a lot of people are homing for that. ed: sounds like hardy defense of the first 100 days approach. i'm not surprised. chuck todd at nbc is still not convinced and some of the other things in the mix of the president's business deals watch. this the president had a controversial phone call with turkey's president this week to congratulate him for essentially grabbing more power and making his country a bit less democratic. what you might not know is that there is a trump tower in turkey. you might know that the president last week ditched his attacks on china as a currency minuter. you may not know that the president's comments came after ivanka trump's business was grant you had preliminary approval for chinese trade marks involving her line of

clothing jewelry and handbags. might not know there are reports that jared kushner's eyeing $400 deal with a chinese firm. no one is saying any of this is any proof of any quid pro quo but it does end up raising serious questions. he haded what he do you think about that approach of basically there is no proof of wrongdoing but, you know, we're going to raise some questions because there could be wrongdoing? >> ed, it's amazing the study came out this week that the president has received the worst media coverage. 89% of negative media from the mainstream media since he has been in office. jared kushner. ivanka trump stepped away from his business. this president is already extremely rich. the difference is it's amazing, ed, the mainstream media didn't want to talk about this when hillary clinton was making hundreds of millions of dollars on her position. after she left donald trump came into the presidency. the richest person who ever

hold the office worth billions and billions of dollars. nothing to do with any of these deals. the mainstream media wants to sully his and his family's reputation. he didn't need this job. did he this job because he wants to do it for the country. what we know is his daughter has stepped away from his business. jared kushner divested himself away from the business. what more can you ask them to do working to serve their country. it's honorable thing. connell: what has been asked countless times whether releasing tax returns would move towards that? what do you say. >> i think he has release you had the largest public financial disclosure statement any candidate has. it shows billions of dollars in a.c. assets. a tax return doesn't show you anything. how much money he made in one year and how much your expenses were. this is the same media that said donald trump didn't pay any taxes. guess what? his tax returns came out and say wow he was really rich and paid a lot of money in taxes. paid higher tax rate than bernie sanders or barack obama or most of the liberal democrats. they didn't want to talk about

that issue anymore. this is a false narrative. fax returns tell you nothing. why don't we get on with the business of saving our country. abby: corey, we have 30 seconds left. if the president could do one thing differently in the past 100 days what do you think that could be. >> the most important thing the president has to do is follow through on the campaign promises. he is doing that getting healthcare done and repealing and replacing obamacare one issue where i think the president is going to take another shot at it. i think his administration knows that the first time they weren't successful. you have to remember they tried to do this in the first 60 days. it took barack obama 14 months with the democrat controlled house and senate to get obamacare done. the president will get this done. maybe they had have to slow down to get it done. they have do bring everyone together, the freedom caucus, the tuesday group, the senators, everybody, let's get healthcare repeal and replace done so people can have healthcare at affordable costs. connell: government shutdown in the middals of all of that. >> thank you. abby: thank you, corey. >> thank you. abby: battle between wikileaks and the cia at full throttle.

ire when a bunch of gay rights activists decided to slip off the portrait of ronald reagan when president obama was president. the same reaction isn't there. i think it's very clear that their anger is because they decided to disrespect hillary clinton, their queen. i think it's very clear that the double standard really shows that they're very quick to protect her and, you know, fall on the sword for their queen. >> if you are in the white house and represents, maybe it's not the best idea to take that type of a photo. reaction to it seems to be so over the top like keith olbermann some of the things he said and you wonder why it is that way or maybe you don't. it is always that way, right? it's almost predictable. >> this is what they did disrespectful? absolutely should they have done it no, probably not. guess what, what they did is an act of free expression that is protected by the first amendment. and you don't get to pick and choose what expressions, what speech is free speech and what

isn't. this is kind of an alarming trend among figures on the left. i mean joy behar likens this to when the british burned down the white house during the war of 1812. that's completely insane. act free expression to desecration by our former oppressor ioroppresses are not e thing. this is a growing trend among the left. and it's very alarming. just the other day a former democratic governor, howard dean, said that hate speech is not protected by the first amendment. i mean, this is a trend, right? i think we need to speak up and say, listen, this is awful what they did. but, it is protected speech by the first amendment and you don't get to liken that to the war of 1812. that's the complet1812 that's cy insane. abby: in the white house probably not the right photo to be taken. is this an example of the media moving in this trend you said being disconnected from middle of america?

right? to the issues that many americans care about. >> oh yeah, absolutely. she literally likened this to the war of 1812. i don't know if she thinks that's what war is like, i think it's very clear that she is disconnected from many of the realities that people are living in around the world. and i think it's very clear that she doesn't understand and appreciate the protections and the rights that we have that are protected and secured by -- for us by the first amendment. connell: good to see you, bree on a saturday morning. good to see you. abby: good to see you, bree. >> thank you. abby: shocking new video you will be talking about all day long. an airline worker accused of hitting a mother with a stroller. how that airline is responding this morning. connell: geraldo is coming up and so is trish regan. they are live in the next hour. ♪ ♪ the applause, applause

grant. and legal justification of why they are not in violation of federal law in the state of california, one of these jurisdictions, criminals back on the streets. and put innocent life including the lives of catholic law-abiding immigrants in danger by refusing to share vital information with federal law enforcement is enough is enough. >> what is wrong with enforcing the law? >> nothing. we have a french election today, you had the vote by the united kingdom to leave europe and the election of donald trump, i submit, with undocumented or legal immigration, none of those things would happen.

uk would not have left without europe. and i don't think donald trump would be president. i'd get how deeply held the feelings americans have for the issue of immigration which i totally get it. i am out of step for the majority of the american people. one good thing happened with immigration. president trump made clear yesterday that is not going after the so-called dreamers. those students or young people at a young age through no fault of their own given projected status by president obama, the question was whether donald trump would argue the projected status and give one or two that had been deported, confirmed yesterday that their priority is criminal. >> you said that was a concern of yours.

>> to what jeff sessions said, these sanctuary cities are on notice that if they don't enforce immigration policy for president will withhold federal grants. >> i think jeff sessions has as he had marijuana wrong he has immigration wrong. the nine jurisdictions he cites particularly chicago which we consider the bump in murder rate, the municipality of chicago. >> it is not about immigrants. >> it is not immigrant based. new york is the safest city with 1 million undocumented immigrants. new york is the safest city in the country, chicago street gang has nothing to do with immigration, largely inner-city kids killing each other. in new york city we are enjoying

the most violent, most crime free period in modern history. the correlation between immigration and crime. there are democrats up in arms about what the attorney general was talking about with immigration. this is a statement from california, senate readers says it has become abundantly clear jeff sessions and the trump administration are basing their law enforcement policies on of white supremacy, constant and systemic targeting of cities and states goes beyond constitutional norms, and white supremacy -- >> two points, the inflammatory one and the second one, sanctuary cities will challenge the federal government for every forum they had, the best to gum it up and you saw with the

refugee band court stymie the federal initiative. the other point is the crackdown the government now plans is to say if you don't fund the border while we won't pay obamacare subsidies, if you don't play along with us we won't play along with you but white supremacy is out of line. to criticize the trump administration on a regional basis the cheap shot. i do point out that many many people in the latino community believe if the country were truly to look at the terror threat from undocumented immigrants, people with be thes become legally and overstay like the hijackers did on 9/11, never been verified terrorist penetration from the southern border, both sides are guilty.

the liberals are saying white supremacy, conservative saying terrorism, both are wrong, there's a middle ground, i hope the president reaches it, the dreamer statement is a step in the right direction but going forward, this crude attempt by the republicans to have the democrats support the president on building the wall. >> fun to get even though i'm against it, work with me on one of the press have literally not worked with the president on one. >> you put it succinctly. the problem is this, what does obamacare have to do with immigration? trade one thing for another. >> he is against obamacare, keep funding is that. >> democrats are taking the 500 trump statements, we are going to build a wall, who is going to pay for it? they will play it over and over

again, the democrats are very clever, saying -- a foreign government is going to pay. >> shut down by next week. >> i know give-and-take when it comes to negotiation, get something for something, we can't agree on the same thing. that is what ronald reagan did with tip o'neill. >> i think what will happen is they will have another ewing spending resolution building or funding the wall. i want to compromise. i think there is compromise. illegal immigration, undocumented immigration by 70% since trump took office. why are fewer people attempting to cross the southern border? it is having an impact.

my point to the american people is do you want to spend $25 billion to pay the wall or just tough talk? it is a lot cheaper, immigration is down 70%. understand the relationship between immigration and violent crime, don't use hyperbole and twisting arms and say if you do this you scratch my back, i haven't seen that talk is cheap. sometimes it works. >> an alarming new report revealing thousands of ex-telegram fighters may have entered germany over the past two years, german newsmagazine reporting thousands of migrants identified themselves as québec former terror insurgents during asylum application process, angela merkel faced quite a bit of criticism for her last stands on immigration. we are less than 24 hours from a pivotal election in france.
