march that's show now. steve: "the story." brian: so glad this 100-day mark is over. the series, the look back, what for. i'm so glad we're at 102 and this way look forward. and let's hope for the next president there f. there is a next president in four years let's not even do it. ainsley: it's may day and having celebration around the may pole. it is summer around the corner. it is summer, it is spring. brian: except for yesterday where i froze. ainsley: it was cold here yesterday. it was warm here on saturday. we are in transition period. one day cold, one day hot. that means it's on the way. brian: janice dean. go to bed. we talked about weather we don't need you for three hours. steve: thank you for joining us on day 102. congressional lawmakers have apparently come up with a deal to avoid the government shutting down. ainsley: democrats getting plenty of concessions but money for a border wall, nowhere to be found. and that's not all.

brian: so do republicans cave to pressure or just the deal that has to be done. griff jenkins joins us right now with the cost of the so-called trillion-dollar compromise. >> good morning brian, ainsley and steve. there is news congress has reached bipartisan deal on trillion-dollar spending bill to avoid this shutdown and keep the government open until october. it comes in what would appear to be a steep political price for the white house. the bill denies president trump funding for construction of that border wall. and there's also no cuts to sanctuary cities and no cuts to planned parenthood. all key campaign promises democrats were quick to certainly take a victory lap. chuck schumer promises cooperation with the president as long as he agrees with him. take a listen to this. >> bottom line is very simple. the president, if he works with us, particularly on issues like trade and infrastructure, we can work. but on the issues so far, taxes and healthcare, that's why his regime has had hardly

any major successes with the exception of gorsuch. if he changes, we could work together. but he can't just dictate what he wants. >> now, the bill isn't entirely a cave to democrats. it has 15 billion-dollar down payment on the president's request to strengthen the military. and 1.50 billion for border security and it would also be the first major piece of bipartisan legislation to advance under this administration just 102 days as you point out into it. steve: all right, griff. thank you very much. i was noticing the blogs are saying no money for the wall buff money for planned parenthood which flies in the fails behalf a lot of republicans have been saying. ainsley: people are upset about that. mr. there is more money for border security as we were pointing out last week. the president did say there will be a wall he is going to work on it i think he said september. brian: the first round happened. but you just want to win when it comes to the overall budget and he needed a trillion-dollar to stop gap looking at the big picture

should we have the war right now in may or do we wait to do it right in september? let's just see how the year turns out. steve: give a little here. you wind up with something. they wind up with something. and then when it's time to talk about healthcare. maybe you will get democrats. probably not. ainsley: i love chuck schumer's comment cracks me up if he changes we can work together. if he registers as a democrat, we can work together. brian: we will see if the lawmakers can actually stand up to democrats even though they are in the majority. maybe they will get the message that they have more people there. steve: wee know that yesterday brian was cold because it was chilly here in the northeast. but what were you doing on saturday night? were you watching television? if you did, you saw two different, very different programs. screen left there's the president of the united states in harrisburg, pennsylvania. is he not attending that same night what is screen right at the washington hilton the annual white house correspondents' dinner where usually it's a joke-filled speech by the president of the united states. he made it very clear he wasn't going to show up. instead went to pennsylvania

and gave a rousing speech. ainsley: that's why people like him he says he is the man in the people. is he not there in a tuxedo giving praise to himself. he went to the people. one guy there had two buffet tons. 15 colored markers my president skipped continue tore give us desert. a lot of people signed he hassed out the magic markers 2, hundred people signed his posters. brian: optics. split screen who had the better screen? one i had think had to be white balanced on the white. it seemed like the white house correspondents' dinner looked a little blue. here was the president in pennsylvania. >> a large group of hollywood actors. [crowd boos] >> and washington media. [crowd boos] >> they are gathered together for the white house correspondents' dinner without the president. [cheers and applause] i could not possibly be more

thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from washington swamp. [cheers and applause] spending my evening with all of you. let's rate the media's 100 days. should we do that? [crowd boos] >> media outlets like cnn and msnbc are fake news. [crowd boos] >> if the media's job is to be honest and tell the truth, then i think we would all agree the media deserves a very, very big fat failing grade. [cheers and applause] steve: while the president was in harrisburg whipping up the crowd. a lot of loyalties there. they went ahead and refocused the white house correspondents' dinner instead on values of a free press. keep in mind it's also a scholarship dinner.

here is the president of the white house correspondents' white house correspondent association some the words the president has used in the past and right back at them. >> we must recognize there are threats to press freedoms here in the united states. we must remain vigilant. the world is watching. press access under president trump has been very good. nevertheless, we cannot ignore the rhetoric that has been employed by the president about who we are and what we do. we are not fake news. we are not failing news organizations. and we are not the enemy of the american people. brian: and do you not have the same tone with this president as you did the past president. you gave him a pass at almost every bass. and the reason why he would show up is because as he mentioned in his very first, i believe, white house

correspondents' dinner it's good to be in front of my base. that was president obama's quote. for president trump, i think his main issue is when you put the commentary and bias into a so-called reporting. not saying it's necessary fiction, but there is a slant to it and he not believe how little, i guess, leeway he is getting and where people are not stepping back and saying maybe what is he doing is different but it actually might be good. and also, jeff mason got the interview with the president a couple of days before. and when the healthcare bill fell apart two weeks ago he called the "new york times" and "the washington post." so, at one point they are critical but at the other point he realizes he still gives them the time of day. ainsley: he still gives us the access and sits down with us and answers the questions. this is like watching the oscars, they talk about their agenda and everyone stands up all the actors in hollywood stands up. after he gave his speech saying we are not fake news speaking to the mainstream media all the mainstream media, of course, gives him

the standing ovation. steve: what i thought was ironic is the fact that he said we are not fake news and, yet, the host of the evening was a fake news man from comedy central. brian: that's a great point. steve: no kidding. if you are going to say we are not fake news don't hire a fake news guy. meanwhile a real news man dickerson. there is donald trump sitting down on face the nation yesterday giving it right to him. watch this be. >> it's very funny when the fake media goes out. which we call the mainstream media which sometimes i must say is you. but. >> you mean me personally. >> your show. i love your show. i call it deface the nation. but, you know, your show is sometimes not exactly correct. ainsley: he is so nice about it i call you deface the nation. but sometimes it's you. but he is giving them access. steve: right. no doubt about it. brian: john dickerson i watch every sunday because i'm lonely. steve: because it's so cold on sundays.

brian: brutal. i showed up in shorts and t-shirt although i looked good i was freezing to death. i had to run home. although my child was playing i was more concerned about my child's health. i thought somebody at least stepping back a little and saying some of the things president trump is doing is working. he has put together this incredible staff. he has empowered the secretaries of their divisions. whether it's treasury or secretary of state to do their job. they say under the last two presidents it really is very centralized in the oval office. instead he is putting people in charge and empowering them. a lot of people are sentencing back going it's interesting. those are the excerpts. ainsley: white house briefing room. he has dialogue with all of us on twitter. american people feel like they are included in the conversation. if you are in the media even if you don't agree with what his stance is and politics. you have to have fun listening to these sound bites. steve: absolutely. ainsley: he called everyone names in the election and now is he doing it now that he is elected deface the nation. that's funny even if you don't

agree with it that's funny. brian: no doubt about it. steve: with this president in the white house we wake up in the morning putting the show together okay where do we start? ainsley: "saturday night live" makes fun of us and i love it. brian: are you sure? ainsley: i hope they are laughing about it and have fun. >> steve: 6:12 in new york city. and heather childers joins us. heather: good morning. great weekend. steve: cold. heather: according to brian. fighting for his life at this hour after being shot in the head during ambush. 14 year veteran responding to a domestic violence call with his partner when a man opened the front door and then he just started shooting. that gunman killed in the shootout. the unidentified officer is now in, quote, very critical condition after undergoing surgery overnight. and now to some edges stream weather and an incredible rescue caught on camera. look at this in texas. sod good samaritans running straight into the rising floodwaters to save a water

now taliban spring offensive. and president trump is true had his word over the last 90 days we have ramped up operations tempo calls a theater rest redistribution of the bombs we use in these kind of wars. so we have moved from pacific command to strand command, stockpiles keep up with the operations tempo that the commanders on the ground need to crush this enemy. meanwhile we have north korea rattling its sablers and the pacific command commanders saying i need some help here and because of the obama budget cuts it's put us in a lagging position where we need to catch up with the industrial base needs to catch up with this. ainsley: what do you remember? if the president is listening what does the president need to make sure we have enough in the stockpile to continue the fight. >> i'm sure h.r. mcmaster and general mattis has told

him already we light a torch under the industrial base and get these munitions produced. right now what why have is enemy on the border with 6,000 artillery pies that can range the greater. we have counter fighter, radars pick up on artillery weapons. we need to be able to rapidly counter fire. we need the stockpiles ready to respond to any kind of north korean provocation. we need air force that can drop the kinds of bombs that we're dropping right now on all these other places i just mentioned. and so we need to get the stockpiles prepositioned in north korea so that we can fight another major regional contingency. ainsley: all right general tata thank you for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: chaos at 30,000 feet. passengers left with broken bones after plane turbulence

president trump calling schumer saying is he leading the party to doom. >> senator chuck schumer is a bad leader. not a natural leader at all. he works hard to study leadership. whether you have to study leadership have you got problems. steve: is the problem right here with the debate the brothers woodhouse. former dnc communications director and strategist brad woodhouse along with his brother screen right executive director of the north carolina g.o.p. brorsz woodhouse. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: brad, i'm so he sorry that chuck schumer is leading your party to doom. >> look, i will tell you, steve, i have never seen anyone who projects on to other people their own inadequacies like donald trump. i mean, donald trump finished first 100 days as president. steve: you told me you are dr. phil. >> exactly. you talk about a failed leader. he didn't pass one piece of legislation that he promised the american people.

he didn't fund the wall. he didn't get healthcare, his version of healthcare passed. steve: so far. >> i mean three times he tried and failed, steve. he has -- you know, on top of it, as you mentioned earlier, they made a spending agreement last night. he got nothing in it that he wanted. he is the failed leader here. he is the one leading his party and the country to doom. steve: dallas, it does sound as if the republicans are talking about they might have the healthcare this week. what do you make of schumer on the senate on the democratic side? >> well, i love president trump but i would like to give one piece of advice, shhh, don't tell them how bad he is. we want him to keep doing it. you know, look. i don't think schumer is a very attractive kind of person to have on television and are a kick do you late for the democrats. they have their challenges in

200018. i would just like to also add, steve, that i feel very good about the opportunity for healthcare this week. i was with mark meadows, the leader of the freedom caucus. we had party conventions out west this weekend. and we talked for a while and he says he has been working very close with the president and everything is coming together. so i'm very optimistic. >> we have heard that story before. steve: dallas this time it sounds like the freedom caucus is on board but what about the moderates because they were the ones abandoning ship last time and called the no vote. >> i think you are going to seat president put together the coalition of republicans to get this done. it's taken a little bit of time. i think is he going to earn credit for keeping working through the process. to get the thread through a very difficult needle. steve: all right. brad, you did mention that

with this continuing resolution that sounds like both sides are going to sign up on capitol hill to keep the government running through september. the republicans did not wind up with as many things as they had hoped for. there is no money for the wall. there is more money for the federal defense, which is terrific about $15 billion and 1.5 billion for increased border security. when you look at the president's first 100 days, i was hearing some expert historian say in his first 100 days, donald trump signed more bills into law than any president since harry truman so obviously they have gotten some stuff done in washington. >> look, he signed a bunch of congressional review act bills. these are bills that repeal previous regulations put in place by president obama. they don't require 60 votes in the senate. he hasn't passed a single piece of signature regulation oar appreciated any of the police dog promises that he promised. remember, it's not just about legislation, steve.

administration. i mean, the democrats were all 100 percent seemingly squarely against george w. bush. brian: she was against the surge, which by the way, worked as does senator obama. steve: goes to show you 8 or 9 years of healing. ainsley: president barack obama instead of president trump because it's only been 100 days that was 10 years ago president bush was in office. steve: let's bring in former lieutenant colonel allen west national director of center for policy analysis and former u.s. congressman and senator as well. good morning to you, sir. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning. howe are you doing? brian: is nancy pelosi misremembering her cooperation with president bush? you were probably still in uniform most of those days. >> yeah, i don't think she is misremembering. that was very tenuous moments. when you talk about how they stood vociferously against the iraq war, look what we have to

deal with now when you have support president obama completing withdrawing all the troops. we created a vacuum. when we victory now we have defeat. democrats' criticism of our new president trump so far 102 days in? >> well, i think the most important thing we have to come to realize is democrats have not gone back to the strategy table and really assessed themselves from a policy perspective to understanding why they lost. they continue to, you know, denigrate, demean, and attack other people and not look at themselves and say what can we do to improve? what can we do to improve our relations with the american people? i think there is a poll that says 67 to 70% of americans believe the democratic party is out of touch with the american people. i'm here in my hometown of atlanta for the nra convention, 146th. for people to not understand that the americans have a second amendment right and they should be able to defend and protect themselves socialist party is are

against. that once again shows how they are out of touch with mainstream media. ainsley: susan rice resur fossad band back in the media now and criticizing president trump right now on his national security. listen to this and then we will get your reaction. >> the united states is supposed to be the grown up at the dinner table. we are not supposed to be the crazy aunt in the attic that nobody knows is going to do next that unpredictability may be useful to somebody like kim jong un in north korea. it's not the way the united states is supposed to act. and i think our allies have been off balance and uncertain in a way that doesn't serve our interest. ainsley: is the president the crazy aunt in the attic? >> well, i have got to tell you why would have you susan rice a person with no credibility out on the show talking about national security? and if she wants to refer to the trump administration as the crazy aunt in the attic, we know that the obama

administration was the whiney, ♪y nose little crying child in the dirty diaper. look, our allies now know that the united states of america stands for something. we have a deterrent force. we have a credible, military option that can back up our foreign policy strategy. did you not see that in the years of obama administration. there is never -- there is no foreign polic policy or national security success that the obama administration can point back to. again, why would you have someone who has such a dearth of credibility when it comes to truthfulness susan rice talking about national security? steve: colonel, before did you go, what do you think about the direction this president is heading with north korea? >> well, i think the most important thing and, again, i was stationed on the korean peninsula in 1995. if you remember, in 1994, bill clinton gave a season about his nuclear arms treaty he made with north korea. we see where that has gotten us. we have got stand up to this dictator and despot kim jong un.

we have to put arm on china to take control of the situation in korea. i think we are on the right track of standing up. brian: are you against the concept of having south korea to pay for the sad missile system which cost a billion dollars and us protecting them? >> i think one of the most important things is when we have these stalls of forces agreements, we need to make sure that we have mutual agreements that mutually support what we're doing and not have the entire financial onus placed upon the united states of america. we cannot continue to go on and provide our services and our defense capabilities without people assisting us. that's what allies should do. steve: all right. colonel west thank you for joining us today from atlanta. >> my pleasure. brian: let's go to extreme weather. pile of rubble all that's left. at parish packed with dozens of people as the storm passed through. everyone walked away throw unhurt unremarkably.

gang known as ms-13. >> ms-13 are the equivalent in their meanness to al qaeda. brian: but what is being done right now to combat deadly gang mostly made up of illegal immigrants? joining us right now is the president of the suffolk county new york police benevolence association. his county is long island is on the front lines of ms-13 and has been. witnessed these grizzly murders of unsuspecting kids and working class neighborhoods who are being killed brutally by thighs gang members. where are they from? >> well, ms-13 originated el salvador. you will have honduran and guatemalan and now they recruit everyone they can get from community. they really do prey on the young immigrants in the community to recruit them in through fear and intimidation of consequences if they don't. brian: you say they are have el salvador. someone i spoke to last night

involved in a gang unit in long island say they are illegal immigrant came here, flooded our borders, teenagers without parents and end up in these school systems here illegally, taken into family sponsor homes and they become gang members and terrorize these schools. >> this actually started in the 1980s. it was west coast problem originally and slowly migrated throughout the nation. yes, it's here now and we are dealing with it and, again, they recruit not only illegal but they will recruit, you know young people here illegally and try to get them in also. brian: to incidents really won over the national and international headlines. tell us who they are and what they did. in brentwood, first. >> what they do is, again, like i was saying they really do focus on fear and intimidation. they will brutalize their victims if they don't. they are nothing more than savages that will try and make their mark by being as brutal and devastating as they can to the individual, to send a message to the rest of the

community. brian: what they're doing is taking public high schools which they are sponging off america who we have taken them in out of the goodness of our hearts out of last generation. they go into high school and intimidate everyone including the faculty in brent wood, high school as well as central ice lip now and that's where the murders are taking place. >> i can assure you these individuals aren't using the school system for education. brian: the attorney general came last week. what did he say he would give to you and what does suffolk county need to stop these guys. >> the attorney general came in and always the nice thing when the have the highest law enforcement official in your nation coming into the area and promising resources. again, probably the greatest resource the federal government could give us is funds for additional patrols on the presence. of course assist with intelligence. brian: do you have the power to kick these guys out and throw them out when we get them? >> absolutely. make no mistake. do not question the resolve of the suffolk county police department. we will find out who they are and get them out of suffolk

county and this will not be a problem for long and suffolk county. brian: attorney general shows up and says it's a national problem. hopefully get the attention and resources you need. >> thank you for having me. brian: congressman dissent admiral craven, steward varney and geraldo rivera. they will all be talking about ubl and marking his death. when he finally met his justi justice. cast of a brand new show at 5:00 called the fox news specialists. they will be here with us live. yale students go on symbolic hunger strike. republicans responded with a food fight of their own ♪ somebody better put your back into your place ♪ we will ♪ we will ♪ wrong you ♪ sing it ♪ we will g ♪ we willd ♪ rock you ♪ i love that i can pass the membership to my children. we're the williams family,

san antonio steve last week we - steve: last week we telling you about that proposed hunger strike that wasn't a hunger strike yale grad students on a hunger strike. yale's college republicans responded by hosting a barbecue right next to the hunger strike. here with his reaction is michael j. knowles. a former president of the yale college republicans and he is also the author of "reason to vote for democrats" which is, completely blank as you know. michael joins us from l.a. michael, good morning to you. >> good morning. great to be here. >> all right. so when you heard that the yale college republicans were going to put a barbecue right next to the hunger strike, what did you think? >> i feel like a proud father. i don't know what it is about

yale that seems to foster this trollish sense of humor in young conservatives. but from bill buckley to the present, there is something about the water in new haven that seems to do it. steve: the thing that caught our eye regarding this particular hunger strike is it's symbolic. did you go on the hunger strike until you are hungry. go eat. have somebody else step in for you. it's not really a hunger strike. is it kind of a diet? is it just a suggestion? what do you think it is? >> it might be a diet because their stipend and benefit are too good. they do same to have not set themself up with very high expectations it looks -- they say whenever they can no longer go on some other grad student will hop in for them and if you look at yale over the last two years, i think this is just the toddler student weekly temper tantrum, you know. steve: this is what they are striking over. apparently as members of local

33, they are paid $30,000 a year as ph.d. students. they get full health coverage and full tuition scholarships. you were saying earlier their benefit during the course of their ph.d. is probably close to half a million dollars. and, yet, they are striking because they want more. >> doesn't your heart just bleed for them? it's the world's smallest violin that i think we have to play for the graduate students at yale. steve: they have, however, made their point but then again so have the college republicans, haven't they? >> it really is the perfect response to them. it's amazing that these yale graduate students want just, you know, just a little bit more. half a million dollars in benefits isn't enough. it also really funny that the yale administration, which is left of lennon on every issue of renaming buildings and so forth. steve: great point. >> seems to be a little more right wing when it effects their bottom line. steve: you are exactly right. michael j. knowles author of

reasons to vote for democrats. thank you for being with us. >> love being here. steve: media reports. >> i love doing it i'm thoroughly enjoying it. steve: coming up. looking beyond the first 100 days. that's next. helps ease fibromyalgia pain. she also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. woman: for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica.

she said we wanted to help out your the. brian: good made friends with canadian i know it's not easy for you. a lot of the celebrities left when donald trump won the election. might have been a lot of celebrities. ainsley: whoopi goldberg up there, maybe cher. brian: just a theory. steve: thank you, canada. thank you for watching. it's "fox & friends" live from new york city it's on trump's 102nd day. now we have breaking news apparently overnight. lawmakers on capitol hill have sealed the deal to avoid a government shutdown and i think we know what day they are going to vote? ainsley: that's right. democrats getting plenty of concessions. money for the border wall nowhere to be found. brian: republicans cave to the pressure. it seems like the democrats got an awful lot from this. especially according to the latest reports, they are in the minority in the house and the senate. griff jenkins joins us live with the cost of the so-called compromise. hey, griff. >> good morning, guys. we have got a deal but there may be a devil in those details. congress cut a bipartisan deal

and trillion-dollar spending package to keep the government open until october. but it comes at somewhat of a steep political price for the white house. the bill denies president trump on some of his key issues. there is no funding for the border wall. there is no money for a deportation force. and there are no cuts to sanctuary cities and no cuts to planned parenthood. but, taking a look at what is in it, the bill isn't 13w50eur8 a cave to democrats it has 1.5 billion-dollars for border security. 15 billion for defense spending, which, by the way. is half of what president trump requested. there is 2 billion of a funding increase for the national institutes of health. and it protects 9% of the e.p.a. budget and extends benefits to coal miners. democrats have been quick to parades the deal as a victory. senate minority leader chuck schumer calling it a good deal for the american people and promising cooperation just as long as president trump agrees with him. >> the bottom line is very simple. the president, if he works with us, particularly on issues like trade and infrastructure we can work.

on the issues so far, taxes and healthcare, that's why his regime has had hardly any major successes with the exception of gorsuch. if he changes, we could work together. he can't just dictate what he wants. >> now, this would be the first major piece of bipartisan legislation to advance under the trump administration. it could pave the way towards healthcare. we are learning from our own chad pergram breaking just now that we may see, may see votes for this spending package on wednesday. guys? steve: all right. griff, thank you very much. and we may see, according to some washington press may see a vote on healthcare this week. brian: wait a second not going to continue vote if i think the next step vote on healthcare which would kill obamacare. big game. not going to talk about fax reform if donald trump doesn't reveal his taxes. this is all politics all tactics all the time. steve: there is one other item

that was on griff's list. if you noticed, the nih. national institutes for health are going to wind up with $2 billion in increases. and the administration asked for a big cut there but apparently they have been working on this for a couple of months. republicans and democrats on-eye up on capitol hill behind the scenes. last year they got $2 billion. first time nih had gotten money in doons years. they said we have got to keep funding them so suddenly it becomes will mick mulvaney be able to talk to the republicans and democrats out of it obviously he could not. brian: unbelievable, too. that the democrats got so much for a party that's done so little and has earned so little respect from the electorate. i mean, think about this. the president doesn't get his border wall funded. they don't defund planned parenthood, which means a lot to them. don't get language in there to stop the sanctuary cities. ainsley: mainstream media is saying that planned parenthood

didn't get enough money even though they are still funded. where a lot of republicans were saying they wanted to defund planned parenthood. that did not happen. as far as the border wall is concerned. the president did say we're going to compromise on this. we will do the wall later on in the fall like september time. he said right now we are still going to put a lot of money with border security with drones and more officers on the border and democrats said they are fine with that. steve: maybe the president and his party giving the democrats something because he is going to want something in the form of support on healthcare or taxes down the road. meanwhile, the president was on with john dickinson on face the nation yesterday. and. ainsley: he called it deface the nation. steve: he did call it deface the nation. john was asking, mr. president,s is this job harder than you thought? and here is the president's answer. >> i love doing it you know, i'm thoroughly enjoying it. it's always a challenge like life itself is a challenge. but, it's something that i really love and i think i've done a very good job at it.

>> you said in an interview with reuters that you thought it would be easier. why? >> well, it's a tough job but i have had a lot of tough jobs. i have had things that were tougher although i will let you know that better at the end of 8 years. perhaps 8 years. hopefully 8 years. brian: because he said to another organization, it might have been reuters you know this job is harder than i thought and healthcare more complicated than i thought and when it comes to north korea china has less power than i thought. because is he being honest and candid people thought i have a huge story here. bottom line people like somebody who is a nonpolitician almost like rex tillerson, too is honest and candid. but he said, look, don't misinterpret. i can do the job. i was very struck by the job ed o'keefe said this administration is running a lot smoother there is a lot more communication between the legislative branch and them and the white house. and there is a much more -- they are able to get on the same page on major issues. and also major garrett came out yesterday and said? administration is doing something that hasn't been done in about 20 years.

they are reimborrowing their secretaries to do what their experts and staff rssments treasury actually gets to be the secretary of treasury. not all the information and intelligence and marching orders are coming from the white house. same with secretary of defense. ainsley: not political. what do they expect him to say oh no, it's a lot easier than i expected. who would ever say that? it's the hardest job. has to be the hardest job in the world. brian: most people when asked that question, most presidents would say it's a challenge like every day is a challenge and everything is a challenge. instead, he says it's tougher than i thought. steve: you know, brian, to your thought about how this particular president is managing the various agencies. think about it. when donald trump was presiding over his real estate empire, you know, he has got general managers at each of the gulf courses and gulf clubhouse clubs and general managers on all of these big projects. he figures out who the managers are and puts them in various spots and talk directly to them what's going on there? blakes perfect sense.

ainsley: that's a good leader they say does. you delegate. the bad leaders are the ones try to do it themselves when he they're not the experts. brian: critic of jimmy carter even making the tennis court schedule. steve: he was a mike low manager. brian: would not have a chief of staff. he was a nuclear scientists he felt like he could do everything. steve: he would talk to amy, his daughter for advice. brian: only bad part she was 10. steve: that was a problem. meanwhile, let's go to saturday night. if you were watching television, some of the channels were highlighting the image screen right, which is the annual white house correspondents' dinner where usually the president of the united states shows up and gives a funny speech and there are a bunch of a.-listers. instead, donald trump who has made his distaste for the press very clear this year said i'm going to sit out. and then about a week or two ago he announced he was going to have a pep rally essentially marking the end of his first 100 days which was that night in harrisburg, pennsylvania. ainsley: as brian pointed out

in the last hour the white house correspondents' dinner they forgot to white balance the camera. it was a little blue. steve: kind of a blue room though. that is the lighting there at the hilton. ainsley: they are a little blue they didn't get to meet the president. guy standing up in charge of the dinner talking to the mainstream media and says we are not fake news and gets a standing ovation. i was was reading an article about a guy at the trump rally. two donald trump buttons on counsel hats. came with 15 colored magic markers and sign my president skipped continue tore give us desert. everyone wrote notes to the president on big poster board. brian: there was symbolism and most people think president trump won this round. he just looked better. the crowd looked more enthusiastic and nobody at the white house correspondents' dinner other than white house correspondents. and also what was interesting too is jeff mason who i have never met, said this administration is very friendly to the press. much more open alan than the

last two. steve: that's true. brian: did just interview with me two days prior. he is not saying you don't matter. is he essentially what donald trump would say in better terms give me a better job. look at my policies, not what's wrong with them. let's just see how this plays out. it's when you put commentary and reporting is biggest complaint. steve: donald trump wants the opinion out to the reportage. he just wants the facts, ma'am. as joe friday would say. ainsley: for more facts hirltdz has our headlines this morning. >> good morning to you. we begin in detroit where this police officer is fighting for his life at this hour after being shot in the head during an ambush. the 14-year veteran responding to a domestic violence call with his partner. when a man opened the front door and he just started shooting. that gunman killed in the shootout. the unidentified officer is now in very critical condition after undergoing surgery overnight. and shock and horror as a gunman opens fire at crowded pool party.

[drop the gun! [gunfire] heather: that gunman shooting into birthday party at a complex in san diego. one woman dead. six others injured. all of them are minorities. and police say that this may be a hate crime. now, the white shooter now identified as 49-year-old peter. witnesses say he calmly held a beer as he fired 30 to 40 times telling someone quote you can either leave or stay here and die. officers killed him when he stopped to reload. finally president trump declaring today loyalty day. a time for americans to show their dedication to the u.s.a. a it's a tradition for presidents to mark the day every year may 1st is known as may day or international workers day. thousands are expected to hit the street for international marches. marches typically highlight workers rights. many plan to protest president trump's immigration policy. those are a quliewrkt

for instance, there is no funding for the border wall which we thought there would be at least some. no money for deportation force no. cuts to sanctuary cities if they don't cooperate with ice and no cuts or plans to defund planned parenthood. i have been looking at the email machine, congressman it looks like a big loss for republicans. >> 1600 pages which we're then going to have to vote on in a day and a half. good luck reading all of that the question a lot of voters had okay you had obama and you say you can't do things because of obama. now we have unified republican control how is this materially different than what's been going on. the points you suggest are troubling and suggests that a lot of it is same old same old. steve: no money for the wall but still money for planned parenthood. there are a lot of people in your party who said as soon as we get a president in there we're going to fund the wall and we're going to put planned parenthood. okay, now you are in charge and where is it? >> and people want the wall. we did a hearing on my subcommittee. we had angel mom there who lost her son from a previously deported criminal illegal

immigrant. we had other folks talking about how it could save taxpayer money because of all the costs that are associated with illegal immigration. so people want the wall. and i think congress needs to deliver on the wall. steve: something else, it sounds like congress you may once again vote this week on a new repeal and replace bill for obamacare. you're part of the freedom caucus which was against it last time. now it sounds like you are on board. are you going -- ultimately are they going to have the votes to pass this? >> i think they will. members have worked really hard and the white house, they deserve a lot of credit. they have really worked hard. okay. the bill wasn't ready for prime time last time. what do we got to do to get members comfortable. compromise repair an repeal ande bill. i think it's probably the best we can do now. we have got to move forward. steve: tell me about the pause act. >> 22 veterans commit suicide every day. we have got to figure out a way to help them.

this happened in court last year. listen. >> i beg -- only human. >> how i have made the worst mistake of my life. >> bless his heart. otto was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for apparently trying to take a propaganda poster from a hotel and his parents haven't seen or heard from their child in 16 months. his parents are here now. cindy and fred warmbier. thank you so much for joining us and telling your story. >> thank you. ainsley: first of all, cindy, i'm reading about your son. what an amazing guy. he went to uva and salute toriais a shrewdtorian of his h. >> he was special in the way he viewed the world. he studied hard but he also had this curiosity about other cultures. so he was going to singapore and hong kong with uva he

found a tour group. so there was a young pioneer's tour group and he asked our permission to go with the tour group. and they had always brought everyone back. this is the first time anyone has been detained from a tour group. >> but more importantly, otto is the kind of son he would call us two to three times a week before this. and when i see the picture of otto giving -- on tv with that confession. ainsley: pleading. >> that's not the image i have of my son in my heart. it's very hard. and we don't watch that very often. the image i have of my son, who is a good kid, is playing soccer three short years ago in high school. ainsley: my heart goes out to you because i'm a parent. you are in college. you want to give your kids a better life than you had. he wants to study abroad. how amazing is that or travel to other countries.

what a great educational lesson for him. he is trying to get to hong kong he goes through north korea. did he call you and say dad, i'm going to go to north korea and what was your advice? >> someone at school had planted a seed that this was an option if he went there. but i would back up and say, nothing otto may or may not have done in north korea rises to this level of punishment. and cindy and i have made the decision that this is less about otto now than it is about the bigger picture the tensions between north korea and the united states. and we're here to make sure that otto is included in any dialogue or diplomacy with north korea. ainsley: why are they doing this? is it because they are trying to send a message to america? they are using your son who is a good kid? >> we're not -- know enough about politics to know but we think this would be just a great goodwill gesture and a

good start of dialogue to release otto now. he has been there 17 months and they said he touched a poster. he didn't take it he touched a poster. ainsley: last time you talked to your son was three months after he was detained. >> we haven't talked to otto. one letter dictated by the swedish embassy. and that was march 2nd, 2016. otto has not been seen or heard from since then. the crime does not fit the punishment here. ainsley: what is that like for you as his parents and have you other children at home you are trying to be strong for. >> otto is our oldest. we had kids late. i still have a 16-year-old daughter. so we said that we would be, as a family unit, get through this together and continue our life so that otto is the only one that's in prison. but i would lie to tell you it's not always -- it's not always there with all of us. ainsley: of course. of course.

>> this is what it's like. we were told early on by the past administration that we were urged to keep quiet. we accepted that. and the idea was. ainsley: he actually said don't go to the media. don't talk about this? >> we were urged to keep quiet by the last administration. ainsley: why? >> we feel that you don't get involved that way. it let's the other side solve problems and make things happen. so, it? >> brought too much attention to otto. ains if president trump is watching, what is your message to him? >> bring otto home, please. you are doing a great job. thank you for putting the attention on something that needs to be addressed. ainsley: we did get a statement from the statement department. can we put that statement up, please? they say it's coming. the producers say it's coming. the department believes mr. warmbier's sentence of 15 years hard alicia is unduly harsh. we urge dprk to pardon him and grant his amnesty.

i'm sure that pleases you. if your son happens to be watching or somehow he gets the message that your public now with this. what do you want him to know? >> otto, we love you. you are an amazing guy. hang in there tighter boy. you're coming home. >> and not to worry about us. but stay strong. stay strong and we'll be fine as a family as soon as you get home. ainsley: you let us know what we can do as a network. we are here to support you and we do want to bring all americans home and we hope he is home safely and he hears your message. >> this is an individual. and i know there is a bigger issue, but this is an individual that really needs to come home. >> the hallmark of the united states of america is to protect individuals as well as the masses. and we want to just make sure that otto is inclu dialogue or diplomacy with north korea. he needs to come home. ainsley: he is not just an individual he is your son

which means he is all of our sons. he is god's child. we will be praying for your family and hope he can bring him home safely. >> thanks so much. ainsley: you are welcome. brian, and steve over to you. steve: thank you, ainsley. brian: 6 years ago today a team of navy seals killed usama bin laden. steve: up next, talking to the man who called the shots. it's an honor to have admirable william mccraven live here this morning on the other side of a time-out ♪ when this bell rings... ...it starts a chain reaction... ...that's heard throughout the connected business world. at&t network security helps protect business, from the largest financial markets to the smallest transactions, by sensing cyber-attacks in near real time and automatically deploying countermeasures. keeping the world of business connected and protected.

to right now you admiral. as we got the news. where were you at the time when you personally laid ice pen him and said that's indeed bin laden. >> i was in afghanistan commanding the raid from a little border outpost we h and when the body returned. i was on a video teleconference with the president. the president asked me to ensure it was bin laden. i had to drive 1 or 2 minutes out to the airfield. had an opportunity to talk to the seals and the 160th. night stalkers when they returned. took a look at the body and made sure it was in fact bin laden and drove back and reported to the president that it was in fact bin laden. ainsley: you told the seals to kill or capture usama bin laden; is that right? >> no. yeah. the rules of engagement were if bin laden was absolutely not a threat. if his hands were up and you could clearly see that he was not a threat to anybody, then we had an obligation to capture him.

if if in any way he presented a threat, then obviously we would have to take him out. the problem was, you know, when it's dark out, when people are moving around, and when you are covered, there was always a threat that he might have a suicide vest on. so i think the shooters made absolutely the right decision in light of the split second timing that involved in a operation like this. steve: surely. let me ask you, we have had had rob o'neill on. >> right. steve: he is the man that pulled out trigger and killed usama bin laden. he has a new book out right now. and what he has said is that you all weren't 100 percent sure that bin laden was in that house. he said he wasn't sure that he was going to come back alive. what were your doubts going in? >> we certainly didn't know whether bin laden was actually in the house. i think this is one of the great decisions by president obama. very courageous decision to conduct the operation. because, frankly, the last meeting i had in the white house situation room the intelligence still basically

put us about 50/506789 the president made the decision for us to do the raid. you are also concerned in a mission like this whether or not the boys were going to come home safely. we were concerned whether the entire house was loaded with ammunition. we had seen this a number of times in iraq the house was set to blow in the event that troops came in. so, we didn't know whether or not bin laden had the suicide vest. whether some of his family had suicide vests. so i think rob o'neill and all the seals that went into the house were rightfully concerned they may not come back. brian: so, as you planned this operation, we know you guys set up a mini complex and went through it over and over again. in retrospect, what was the biggest surprise about the mission, the thing that you couldn't possibly have planned for that turned out good or bad? >> well, the good news was we had plan a, plan b, plan c, and plan d. we thought through all

contingencies the wing if the first blackhawk came in. even though we built a mockup. the mockup had a chain link fence. the down blast from the helicopter ventilated through the chain link fence. day of the mission the helicopter came in chain link fence was actually a large 18-foot concrete wall. what happened was the down blast from the helicopter created a vortex over the top of the blades, caused the helicopter to lose lift and then it crashed into the animal pen nearby. that was the one thing that we couldn't rehearse and it was frankly the one thing that went wrong. ainsley: surprised you the most. admiral, what was it like? when were you able to take a breath after the whole mission was complete and you knew it was usama bin laden? when did you take a step back and say wow, this is huge? >> yeah, i'm not sure it set in for, you know, several months to be honest with you. we had 11 other missions going on that night in afghanistan. and obviously this was the most important mission but

frankly i had to get kin back to work. we had hearings the next day. heerks with the house and senate. i had an opportunity to go over and talk to the president. very soon thereafter we got back to doing business and then i changed commands a month or so after that. steve: sure. >> i kept pretty busy. in november time frame i was invited up to new york city. by this time i had taken over all special u.s. operations invited up to new york city. really when you get up to new york city and i had an opportunity to talk to the folks there, you really began to understand the impact of the mission and why the death of bin laden and the justice that we brought was so very important. steve: yeah. the extraordinary thing though and going back to my earlier question about rob o'neill saying he didn't think he was going to come back, this is what these men do every day. these special operators. >> every single night. steve: they put their lives on the line it could be a big job like this one or little job. you never know when things could go to the point where have you got to go to plan b or plan c like you were talking.

>> exactly right. again, it's difficult sometimes for the american public to appreciate. but every night in combat in iraq or afghanistan, these young men and women were going out on missions. and you are right. they didn't know whether they would come back that night. that's an incredible amount of pressure to bear for any person. brian: admiral, the amazing thing is when people put down this generation e o, oh, they ae soft and everybody gets a trophy. you also commanded this generation. people say this is as good as we have ever had and we have been the best for over 200 years. so that's something to keep in mind to balance out which you talk about in your book that came out that's really a handbook on life. >> yeah. you know, the millennials seem to take a tough beating but i've got to tell you the kids i worked with the young men and women that were the 9/11 generation are some of the finest young men and women i have ever spent time with. now, you know, they have got tattoos and wear earrings off

duty, they listen to music i don't understand but i tell you, they would make you proud. they will, in fact, be this century's greatest generation. it's not just the men and women in the military. now that i'm the chancellor at the university of texas. i see these men and women come to school. i know there is a lot of times they take a lot of criticism. the young men and women i see coming to school they are dedicated and want to be great engineers and great lawyers and doctors and musicians. great entrepreneurs. so, we need to back off a little bit and take a look at this ploinel generation and realize really how good they are. steve: okay. by the way for anybody watching who has a gift that they need to buy for a graduate. my wife finished your book yesterday, admiral, and she loved it check out "make your bed." it is terrific advice for everybody. ainsley: we each have a copy of it it's great book. brian: just so you know, general, we can't make our beds because our spouses are in it. we get up at 2:30 in the morning. ainsley: great advice from a

general and admiral and someone we respect so much. steve: thank you your your service. ainsley: i remember i was with fox when it happened. we thank you for all have you done for this great country. >> let me say one final thing because it wasn't just about the seals. it was the seals, it was the army aviators and entire joint team. it was the cia and leon panetta and, again, a great courageous decision by the president of the united states. frankly it was all 500,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines that have been fighting al qaeda for a long time. we were just fortunate enough to be the guys that were, you know, on the compound at the time pulling the trigger. but, today is anniversary not about the seals. today is an verse is sear about america. brian: well put. thanks, admiral. ainsley: not about democrats or republicans about this great country. thank you so much. what happens when a mike falls during a nhl hockey game. canadians step in and what you are about to hear we will talk about it.

america. general was sitting there with me, and we looked at each other and started giving each other high fives. it was the greatest night of my career. ainsley: i think we all remember where we were on that night, and it was so powerful for us for one minute all of us, for everyone because we had all lived through 9/11 or most of us who are watching did. we interviewed admiral mcraven earlier, and he was commander, the one who told the navy seals go in and get this guy. listen to what he said. >> while i was in afghanistan, commanding the raid from a little border outpost we had. and when the body returned, i was on a video tell conference with the president. the president asked me to ensure that, in fact, it was bin laden, so i had to drive just one or two minutes out to the airfield, had an opportunity to talk to the seals, and the 160th, the night stalkers when they returned take a look at the body, made sure, in fact, it was bin laden, and then drove back and reported to the

president that it was, in fact, bin laden. steve: and outside the white house, you eventually moved over outside the white house, and it was, like, the greatest celebration impromptu in the middle of the night washington has ever seen. >> it was unbelievable. just before admiral mcraven, one of the great, you know, military officers we have and so proud of him and his men rob o'neill and the others who did this, they were actually in the air base in afghanistan watching fox news, watching me announce bin laden's death and bin laden's corpse was right there. by then, it had been moved to the air base. so they're watching fox and there is bin laden's body. so the co-president of fox news suggested geraldo, why don't you and bret baier and his team relieved me at midnight that night. why don't you go to the white house? so i go running over to the white house, and it was, like,

woodstock meets new year's eve. it was such an aboolean crowd. usa, usa in front of the white house. it was one of the most thrilling nights. and i noticed at some point my phone was ringing, and i get to myt hear the sound, about his the temecula, it's from general john f campbell who is also in afghanistan, commanding the 101st airborne, and they're watching the celebration in front of the white house. and the 101st had a -- it was a terrible deployment, they were losing three, four, five guys every day at that time. very down. very depressed. suddenly, the leader of the bad guys, the enemy of the united states, public enemy number one had been killed and general campbell who was my war buddy -- it was just, like, the greatest, the greatest, and i can't -- i could be moving to tears. i was on the air then. steve: and the celebrations were not just in washington.

they were -- >> everywhere. everywhere. ainsley: what does it mean from the at some point of losing so many friends? i moved to new york after 9/11. you've been here. you had so many friends, what did that mean to you from a emotional standpoint? >> you know, ainsley, my suffering was minor compared to the families that actually lost brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers and so forth. but we were hit pretty hard. we had the highest per capita -- because many of the people from fitzgerald, the big financial company worked in the top ten floors of the trade center. they lost 700 of their 900 employees, plus lost dads of kids in grade school. he had attacked our country and attacked our way of life, but it was really.

brian: he got away with it. >> it was personal. he got away if it with. and i was right there and we knew and people were doubting it, and it wasn't until years later that he escaped, and live we traced his steps. but to actually get him for the personal and professional to be joined that night to answer your question specifically was what made it so great to me. it was a tremendous sense of relief and satisfaction that revenge was brought on this evil man and that my country had scored a great victory. brian: and that was one of the few times barack obama called president bush and said, listen, i've got news for you. we killed this guy. and that was the kind of interaction. speaking of past presidents, let's talk about our past president. he decides to go 100 miles away from washington, d.c. and not go to the white house components dinner yesterday, excuse me, on saturday. was that a good decision for him? >> you know, brian, that's a

tough call. i'm a compromiser. to me, what happened saturday night is what's wrong with america today. the president going to harrisburg. god bless him. he's my friend. i want him to succeed more than anything. steve: it was a great rally. >> it was a great rally, but he was preaching to the choir. there was nobody in that room who didn't vote for donald trump. on the other hand, the components dinner, without the president was, you know, almost like a birthday party without the person celebrating the birthday. they're sitting there being smug and elite and then the harrisburg crowd is feeling, you know, emboldened and embattled. i want these two americas to come together. i think this president has the unique ability because of his background and because of the -- you know, he used to be friends with chuck schumer. i'm sorry but i remember those

days. brian: who do you blame? >> that's an excellent question. i blame both sides. i really do. i think starting with the inaugural address, it could have been much more inclusive. again, we were together that morning of the inaugural address, i thought that and ainsley and i were together on the actual inauguration. i think we have a chance now. and even this budget proposal that they passed, now we have the government funded through september, i like a lot of aspects of it because it is a moderate plan. yes, there's a 1.5 billion for strengthening the southern border, but it doesn't include money for the wall because we're already 70% of the way there. we've already cut those -- cut the illegal crossings by 70%, according to the president. that was free. that was just him talking, talk, talk, it worked. so i want the president to reach out. and as i joked over the weekend, if the president and which you can schumer have to wear hazmat suits so they could be in the same room

together, let them make the sufficient compromises to get a health care bill that works, to get a budget that's fair, to be strong in defense. i love what the president has been doing in terms of foreign affairs. brian: senator schumer may want to get a deal, it doesn't matter. all he cares about his base and keeping his job. his base will not let him and president trump has not put the pressure on him to make that move to say here's your trillion dollars. help me spend it. >> i think the way to do it, brian, i think that compromise is the only way. and the way to do it, you have to hold your nose, you don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies, hold your nose. go forward. they can do it. they can find common ground. i think the american people want progress. they want -- why not -- here i'll give you a great idea. why not schumer and president trump getting together on the infrastructure bill. everybody wants new bridges, new tunnels, new highways. yeah. let's put america back into work literal sincere with

something grand that everybody could agree. and you could have toll roads to help pay for it tooff set the deficit problem with the infrastructure. i just think that there are ways for good republican ideas like toll roads, you know, infrastructure paying for itself and democratic principles like service to the people. i think that these things can mesh. they can work and donald trump could be one of the great presidents. i really believe that. steve: i think the tell will be when it comes to taxes shortly. >> well, i think that that's true also. brian: and great job bringing us that moment. six years ago, you were the perfect person there. ainsley: thank you, geraldo. steve: straight ahead, warning from top military brass. we're striking isis so hard, we're running out of bombs. so what does the u.s. need to do to keep heat on terrorists? brian: today antitrump illegal aliens vow the biggest worker strike in over a decade. stuart varney's here, and i guaranteed he's going to walk through the hall.

thousands expected to hit the streets nationwide today for the annual may day marches later today. the rallies typically highlight workers rights. this year, not so much. ainsley: yeah, this year, many are planning to protest president trump's immigration policies. brian: it's good to see a good protest for a while. it's been about nine seconds. here to react is host of "varney & company," his name is stuart varney. you can see him from 9:00 to noon. but first, let's talk about may day. what is the whole focus? >> this is international workers day. this used to be the day when the socialists took the day off and work prettied through the streets in favor of socialism. it's a big deal in europe. here, i think the socialist theme has been hijacked by identity politics of the theft. you look at the banners today, it's all about immigrant rights, muslim rights, trans rights. it's identity politics planting socialism. which i guess is a good thing,

but this is what's happening. steve: back in 2006, we were on the couch, and we showed may day 2016, and it was all people pushing immigration reform. what it's about is people who were in this country illegally should have the same civil rights as an american citizen. >> . >> this year, some private enterprise companies are going to give their employees the day off without any punishment or anything like that to attend these kinds of rallies in favor of immigrants. not being separated from their families. facebook, for example. it says "if any of our employees employees want to take the day off and protest, you can do it. no consequences. and, by the way, any other company with which we do business must also allow their employees to take the day off. that's imposing facebook's political world view on the people that they do business with. that's going a bit far. and up and down the west coast, you will see local city

council saying city worker, take the day off. seattle in particular is doing that. ainsley: and too scared not to allow them to do that? >> i think they're making a political point of their own. this is the politics they represent. that's what they're doing. brian: the problem is there's will its so many protesters protests for different reasons, they're all blurring each other out. we're going to forget about this after we report it. it will be history. >> back in the day, i'm talking a long time ago in europe, every may day there would be a whopping great, big parade. red flags, red banners all over the place. the trade unions would be out there. they would be huge socialist demonstrations. it's an element in their retreat you just don't see that any longer. i think that's a good thing. ainsley: back in the day we were growing up, it was the may day polls. you would wrap the ribbons around the -- steve: a fun day. >> i go back further than you. brian: watch your show 9:00 a.m. to noon okay?

>> thank you very much indeed. brian: imagine finding this in your yourself, a note saying help i'm trapped in a chinese concentration catcher making purses 13 hours a day. steve: the specialist show starts today and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis.

>> thank you. steve: so the show is called fox news specialist. what does that mean? >> so as intended, the specialists are going to join us every day. so we'll have two specialists each and every day, which is really exciting and different from anything on the network because 40% of the dialogue will be brand-new and fresh every single day. brian: in fact, you -- was it your idea to send eric to interview the president in the first show? >> yeah. it was my idea. i talked to the president myself. yeah, it's going to be a huge show we have an interview with ebony said, this is nothing like anyone has seen, because usually it's the same people every day with the same opinions that aren't changing but we don't know what's going to happen because we don't know the specialists. >> we're going to pick topics. ainsley: let's bring in eric. congratulations. you're going to be sitting down one-on-one with the president today? >> that's right, ainsley. very fortunate the president said you know what? you have a new show starting, let's go do this. we're going to sit down, i'll

spent 15, 20% with the president to talk about all the most important things, i'm going to start with north korea, bring it back to domestic policy, and then dig into some of the latest numbers that show him being very, very popular among his base, and we'll expand it out a little bit. so i'm looking forward to it. brian: are you doing it live, eric? or are you doing it shortly? >> well, here's what we're going to do. tape it at 9:30, and then we rush over to the train and god willing be right there on set in studio at 5:00 when we kick off. steve: fantastic. something the president said yesterday was that during his first 100 days, he said i'm really enjoying the job. does that surprise you? because it's been, you know, the press coverage has been unrelenting. >> it has. but he said he thought it would be easier. but i'm glad he's enjoying it. i think we all know we get a better result when we actually enjoy what we're doing. and as commander-in-chief, i'm happy to hear that. ainsley: cat, what was your opinion of him being with the people at the rally instead of

the white house components meeting? >> why would you do that? ideal you go to a party where everyone makes fun of you? if i could throw a party like that where i would just in state prison and everyone's, like, yay, i would do that every weekend. brian: how much did you have to pay to rent cat for your show? do you want to release the financial figures? >> well, okay. for the five, we have a big move from the 5:00 to the 9:00 p.m. show. and i said let's make sure that 5:00 audience sticks around. and wow, what a great opportunity the three of us, cat, ebony, and myself will be there every single day and as you pointed out, those rotating outside seats are going to be specialists every day, a lot of fun, and a lot of opinions. hard-core opinions across the board. so we look to maintain the five audience. ainsley: who are the specialists that are on tonight? can you release the names tonight? mark cuban and mark mckinnon. brian: in studio? >> oh, yeah. everyone's in studio.

only in studio. ainsley: democrats, republicans, all sides. >> democrats, republicans, business, real estate, everything. steve: people who are special. >> the specialists. there you go. it will be awesome. ainsley: sounds like donald trump. you hired all of these people to be secretary to make the decisions. >> funny story over here. i come in for the fox and friends hit, i bump into sean spicer, i'm, like, hey, spicer, what's going on? had a little conversation, and then reince priebus walked by, it's really all the familiar faces over here. it's going to be interesting. we have a lot of fun today. brian: i think the white house is extailing to get over the 100 day and things get on the with the first four years. i think everyone is 100 dayed out. >> good point, brian. that's what president trump tried to conhave a to sean dickerson on cbs the other day. but we'll find out what he has

in store for the next eight years. steve: the specialist tonight 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the specialist. >> thanks, guys. steve: thank you so much. good luck with president. ainsley: good luck. yes, eric. he'll do a great job. an extreme weather alert to tell you about. weather storms staring through the south and midwest. we're going to take you there live straight ahead. steve: and it was six years ago today a team of navy seals killed osama bin laden. dr. james mitchell wrote the book on enhanced interrogation. he's going to join us live to explain how it led to such an iconic terror take down. brian: without them, they don't get bin laden. stimulant laxatives make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon. miralax is different. it works with the water in your body to hydrate and soften. unblocking your system naturally. miralax.

hi there. ♪ i'm so happy. ♪ what happened? ♪ whatever they went through... welcome guys, thanks for coming ...they went through together. life well planned. see what a raymond james financial advisor can do for you. >> confirmed. urgent confirmed. bin laden is dead. >> osama bin laden is dead. >> multiple sources. osama bin laden is dead. >> and the day that he found

out that story about the 72 virgins waiting for him on the other side was bunk. >> the world's most wanted man. >> bin laden. >> osama bin laden. >> the leader of al-qaeda. >> shocked in pakistan. >> shot in the face. dead and buried at sea. >> is dead. >> pop, pop, pop. >> the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al-qaeda terror, justice has been done. brian: we've got to wonder how we were able to bring him to justice and how the long trail was found at the end of it. dr. james mitchell knows all about it, he was the author of the book enhanced interrogation. if it wasn't for your enhanced interrogation and some of your techniques, we wouldn't have got bin laden six years ago. >> well, certainly the cia's

interrogation program played an important role in that. and the original detainees that provided the information that set them on the trail had all been through enhanced interrogation. steve: i'm sure there are parts you can't talk about. but i've seen the movie, and i think it's pretty accurate from what i've heard and the interrogation, somebody gave up bin laden's career. >> it was ksm's nephew. ksm is the mastermind of 9/11. and said that ksm had told him that there was a courier who was delivering letters for ubl. and we went back to ksm and said what about this? and he said no. no. that man's retired. and we went back and he said, oh, no, he's lying. and then ksm did something we

were actually happy to see. and they had figured out some way that was secret to communicate with other detainees. and he put out a message and what he thought was a good way to talk to other detainees not to talk about the courier, and that signaled at least to the interrogates and to the targetters that that man was important, and we needed to do more. brian: how many hours did you spend with muhammad? >> i spent years with that guy. it's hard for me to estimate. i said thousands, but that may be -- -- years. just years. steve: so after the courier was identified, that was relatively easy. now you just have to figure out where bin laden is. >> there's another important piece of that and that is a -- the man who had taken ksm's

place as chief of operations, that's the man busy attacking america and other western countries. and, again, denies that. says the man doesn't exist, that he's dead. but what actually allowed them to find him using signals intelligence was that there was another person that we had -- did enhanced interrogations on, and he said that, well, this guy that you're looking for, the courier, he sounds like he has a speech impediment because he talks in native arabic, but he subtracts past to words, and he does it randomly. so it's very difficult, so when you listen to him, he sounds like he has a speech impediment. so that allowed people who monitor signals to figure out where the guy is living. brian: are you kidding? >> no. ainsley: how did you get into this? i'm sitting here listening to these stories and knowing that you're face to face with some of the most dangerous individuals that are threats to this country. how did you get into this and

were you ever fearful of your own life? >> well, i mean, i can't claim credit for what happened with ubl. all those little pieces of data and put them into the matrix. but having said that to address your question, essentially the cia asked me to do it. and, you know, i was at that particular time this was immediately after 9/11, and we had credible evidence that there was going to be another catastrophic attack, possibly involving nuclear weapons, and i just couldn't stand by. brian: how could you sit there when your country called on you as a private contractor to do it, and then your country turns on you and says you never should have done that and now you believe fear for your life for a degree. >> yeah. president obama did what he could to release as many of them to captivity and at the end, it was the worst of the worst, the bomb makers, the terror attack planners, it was the chemical engineers that he's releasing from gitmo who never should have been released.

steve: right with your book enhanced interrogation when you do talk about the water boarding and stuff like that, did water boarding lead to any of the intel that led to obl? >> well, what happened was the water boarding was used on only three people and never were we asking the location of bin laden when people were being water boarding because it was only being used, i believe, to identify and disrupt these catastrophic attacks and finding ubl, although that was very important, wasn't the point of water boarding. steve: and you could really trust muhammad anyway because you knew he was lying. >> well, that's one of the instances where relatively cooperating guy does something that's out of character for how he's acting and to think that senator feinstein apparently did that the interrogates and the targetters and the debriefers would realize that that lie told more about what was true, particularly when he tried to warn people to continue to lie like he was, i think it's a naïve claim.

ainsley: so after 9/11, after everything you've been through trying to catch these dangerous criminals, what does today mean for you? because six years ago of this anniversary -- or today's the anniversary, six years ago, he was killed. >> i'm glad he's dead, you know? the problem that we have, though, is that the way that they think is another one will rise up and take his place. and i think that while it's necessary, it's not sufficient. brian: dr. mitchell, we have solved a problem. we found them in pakistan, the taliban train in pakistan, isis goes through pakistan. we have understand touched the problem. >> not at all. and, in fact, we've actually made it worse over the last eight years because what's happened is president obama is leading from behind has actually emboldened those people because they think that what we're going to do is try to defend ourselves with rhetoric and speechifying and

gestures. we've quit trying to find them and kill them, and that just puts us more at risk. brian: i think so. going to be here to talk about his book, he's the fbi guy, he said you wouldn't have got it without it. >> well, he's entitled to his opinion. brian: is he right? >> well, he's entitled to his own opinion but not his own set of facts. i think you would have had a very hard time getting some of the information from those detainees to protect ourselves without those enhanced interrogations. steve: and that's the name of your book. thank you for figuring it out. >> appreciate you having me on. steve: you bet. stay here for just a second. ainsley: heather has some headlines for a second. >> hello. hello, everyone, at home. we begin in detroit again where a police officer is fighting for his life at this hour after being shot in the head at an ambush and the 14-year veteran responding to a domestic violence call when

the man opened the front door and started shooting. that gunman killed in the shoot-out. the unidentified officer is now in very critical condition after undergoing surgery overnight. and you'll remember, she went on five sunday talk shows to spread a false narrative about the deadly benghazi attack that killed four americans. and now susan rice has reemerged to lecture president trump on national security. >> the united states is supposed to be the grown up at the dinner table. we're not supposed to be the crazy aunt i in the attic that nobody knows what's going to do next. >> and this is interesting. claims in her new purse, she found a note refer to prisoner overseas. the letter written in chinese found tucked inside a pocketbook that she bought in walmart. according to translators whoever ottawa that note, they

were forced to work 14 hours a day with little food or medical attention. the arizona woman is sharing the letter in hopes that someone can help. and finally, microphone issues leading to this epic moment 18,000 canadian hockey fans jump in to help sing the american national anthem. >> is this working? let's sing it together. >> the incredible rendition of the star-spangled banner happening before the stanley cup. >> got to love those canadians who know all the words. brian: 18 minutes now before the top of the hour. up next, we're hitting isis so hard, we're running out of bombs. what does the u.s. need to do to keep the heat on the terrorists? i say make more. steve: and an extreme weather alert, deadly storms carrying

ainsley: some quick headlines. we are now learning more about the hero army platoon leader who paid the ultimate price in the fight against isis. first lieutenant weston lee killed by an ied in iraq. awarded the bronze medal, purple heart, and notorious service medal for his service. our thoughts and prayers are with his family as fight against isis steps up overseas anthony told us earlier that we are hammering terrorists so hard, we are actually running out of bombs. >> we've moved from pacific command to central command, stockpiles that we can keep up

with the operations tempo that the commanders need on the ground to crush this enemy. >> the general also says we need bombs ready to respond to a potential attack from north korea. brian: all right. now to extreme weather. we've got video to widespread, it's just devastating. this after tornadoes carve a path of destruction through east texas. steve: good morning to you. >> good morning. yeah, we're about an hour east of dallas and that path of destruction about 50 miles long and about 15 miles wide. check it out. we are at a restaurant over what used to be a restaurant here in town. you can see no more walls, debris all over the place, four tornadoes hit this area. four fatalities, dozens of injuries, two of those twisters were em0s, two of them were ef3s. that means winds up to 165 miles per hour.

now, one of those twisters was about a mile wide and the latest count is four people dead, nearly 50 injured, and some in the hospital this morning. 5100 addresses affected by the tornadoes. there are many stories of survival in these parts, people hiding in bathrooms and closets holding onto each other as the tornadoes ripped through their town. now, police say that looting has been an issue, so an overnight curfew is in effect until further notice. now, the good news is that we're getting this morning the two people who are unaccounted for, missing the last couple of days, they have since been found. guys, back to you. steve: that is good news. thank you very much. storms are moving to the east. janice dean is taking a look at things, and she joins us from outside our world headquarters. >> yeah. we're still looking at the potential for severe reports, because hundreds have reports of hail and damaging winds and tornadoes from the weekend and, unfortunately,

that's going to be the case as this storm system goes eastward. damaging and wins even isolated tornadoes exist for the parts of mid-atlantic up toward the northeast. and not only that, but we're looking at flooding. the flooding concerns across the midwest as well. real quick, where are you from? >> oklahoma. >> and what are you here for? >> for a congratulations trip. >> and you had fun? >> yes. >> where are you from? >> wisconsin. >> how long you here for? >> a day. >> want to say hi to anybody at home? get close, everybody. back inside, steve, ainsley, and brian. steve: all right. ainsley: feel free to add syrup to pancakes this morning. best-selling author is here to blast sugar level without ditching sugar from your diet. we love him already. but first, let's check in with shannon to find out what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> big news overnight, have lawmakers reached a deal on both health care and funding the government? we're going to talk about it

>> according to the center of disease control and prevention, 29.1 million americans have been diagnosed with diabetes. so what is the best way to control your diabetes? it is changing your diet. brian: all right. here with a five-week plan to lower your blood sugar and lose weight all out starving yourself is the author of this book: the sugar out dr. ian smith. welcome back.

>> hey, guys, good to be back. >> we are drowning in sugar. and i wanted to show you right off the top, for example. so this year what we consume in a day is 39 teaspoons, the average american. ainsley: how much should we? >> only about 22. and this right here, three pounds of sugar in a week, and this is a month. 13 pounds of sugar. so whether you're a diabetic, prediabetickic, we're addicted to sugar, and we have to get it out of our diet. steve: you're saying for the average man according to the government, we should have 9 tablespoons. for a man. six for a woman. that little yogurt right there has how many? >> five and a half. >> that's half a day right there. >> half a day already. so the hidden sugars are in things like ideologue arts, salad dressings, this is a very healthy brand, but this has 14 grams of sugar in it. brian: cereal. >> yeah, which is almost four teaspoons. so you have to be careful where you're getting your sugar from. look at the back of the label.

brian: i was always told to look out for fat. and now i'm told don't even look at the fat, focus on the sugar. >> well, there's a direction correlation of how much sugar you consume and heart disease. so this is why it really matters. ainsley: dr. smith went to medical school in chicago, grandma was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, you helped her get back in the gym. >> yeah. it was a young medical student at the time, i didn't know much about diabetes. but what i read at the time if you exercise and reduce, not eliminate, reduce. and two weeks she went back to the doctor and he said what are you doing? and he said cut your medication in half because your blood sugar is so low. ainsley: what's your advice to those that are watching? >> all of my plans are like that. people lose up to 20 pounds in five weeks and their blood

sugar is cut by 50%. salad, chicken, look at the size, though. it's all about portions; right? so my belief is if you can get people to still like the things that they like and not deprive them, then they can still eat. brian: really? serious? >> a little bit. yes. because this is my feeling. if you can eat a little bit of it, then you don't deprive yourself, and you don't binge on it. and in my book all of these foods and recipes are in there so you can realize it's not just one meal for you and the family. we all can eat them. brian: and if one of you sees you eating it, we can all eat it. ainsley: what about fruits? because steve was eating a banana and we all heard out of all the fruits, it has the most sugar. can you eat bananas? >> here the idea. fruit has sugar, but it's better fiber. steve: check out the new book. blast the sugar out. doctor. >> thank you. brian: more fox and friends in just a moment
