there is a lot of brexit, you know, you're a new president. clayton: don't put that on me. 22% of americans know a couple negatively impacted by president trump's election. he is responsible for divorce now. jackie: "fox & friends" starts right now. have great day. >> did either of you ever review classified documents in which mr. trump and his associates had been unmasked? >> oh, yes. >> can you give us details here? >> no, i can't. >> ms. yates, have you? >> yes, i have. and no i can't give you details. >> you cannot allow intelligence to be politicized. i want to give the bottom line of who did that. >> we learned nothing today that we didn't know yesterday. >> it didn't advance the ball very much on the unmasking and didn't advance the ball at all on collusion between russia and the trump team. >> undertaking a bombing campaign against isis.

>> on back foot in syria and iraq. so the fight goes on. >> anonymous sources have been telling us that they believe that the obama administration was spying on other presidential candidates other than trump. >> it would be one of the biggest scandal the country has ever seen if that's proven. >> according to reports, a record number of french voters turned in blank ballots for the election yesterday. apparently they couldn't find le pen. ♪ who are you ♪ who are you ♪ who who. brian: this isn't live, right? steve: who are we? we are fox news and we are live in that building right there, 1211 avenue of the americas here in new york city. thank you very much for joining us on this kind of chilly tuesday morning here. brian: is it really that light outside? steve: in our magic window? brian: it seems as though it's darker in here. steve: okay. it seems pretty bright, brian. brian: i'm just saying.

seems to be a discrepancy between our outdoor and indoor cameras. can we look into that? steve: we will put our best men and women on it. brian: i think something about lieutenant general michael flynn is behind this in some form. ainsley: if you ask sally yates the former attorney general appointed by president obama. and james clapper the former national intelligence director they were grilled by the senate yesterday. steve: boy, were they. exactly. we didn't learn much. we learned that sally yates went to the white house in january and warned that apparently the department of justice had information that michael flynn had lied to white house officials regarding apparently what he had said to the russian ambassador. and then president trump fired mr. flynn later. the question was there any collusion between the russians and the trump campaign? we don't know. although there is still those ongoing investigations by the house and senate and fbi. the only crime that we heard

about yesterday was whoever leaked mike flynn's name to the "the washington post," after it had been unmasked by some unknown member at this point of the obama team. brian: the whole collusion team is blowing up. there doesn't seem to be any there there. you saw multiple questions to james clapper and sally yates. they cannot confirm or deny anything. you could tell if there was something there it would have been front and center. lindsey graham went out and came out flat empty. what's concern about the unmasking. listen. >> did either of you ever request the unmasking of mr. trump, his associates, or any member of congress? >> yes. and in one case i did. >> did either of you ever review classified documents in which mr. trump his associates, or members of congress had been unmasked? >> well, yes. >> you have. can you give us details here. >> no, i can't. >> ms. yates, have you?

>> yes yes, i have. and no, i can't give you details. >> how did the conversation between the russian ambassador and mr. flynn make it to the "the washington post"? >> i don't know the answer to that. >> no. nor i do know the answer to that. brian: they both said they weren't sources. ainsley: they did ask for the unmasking one time each. they said they did not leak it to the post. they are under oath so they have to tell the truth. steve: that is the big story. mr. clapper, of course, has got a history. he did unfortunately at one point distort what he -- he disorder the truth. brian: he said biden asked him. steve: he told a lie to congressman. he felt he had to to protect what was going on at the nsa. once again, the only crime was somebody from the obama administration unmasked names, including michael flynn, and then somebody then leaked it to the "the washington post." that, regarding the surveillance, is the big story. and donald trump himself, the president tweeted that out. ainsley: that's right. he said the biggest story

today between clapper and yates is on surveillance. why doesn't the media report on this #fake news. he tweeted a lot yesterday. some of the tweets were saying there is no evidence of collusion with russia and trump that she said nothing but old news. and he is exactly right. we didn't learn anything new yesterday. we learned they weren't the leaker es and they did ask for the unmasking. brian: the president shouldn't be tweeting. this forget it. there is no there there. ainsley: seven months since the collusion story came out and there is no proof. brian: president, you got the job. let's move forward. ainsley: exactly. brian: sally yates is gone and clapper wasn't asked to stick around. how did everyone else cover it? here is a quick look. >> tonight, breaking news. for the first time former acting a.g. sally yates revealing how she warned the white house about former national security advisor michael flynn. >> sally yates breaks her silence, revealing for the first time how she sounded the alarm to the trump white house that flynn was lying about his

conduct, compromised and could be blackmailed by russia. >> team trump was warned about flynn. by president obama in a meeting with the president elect and by acting attorney general sally yates because she knew michael flynn lied to the vice president. brian: for president obama not to get along with a general, that is not unusual for eight years he seemed to clash with almost every general. number two is, just keep in mind, all these things look bad for lieutenant general michael flynn. we have not heard from lieutenant general michael flynn to. meet him one-on-one is extremely impressive. you look at his back ground. it is extremely impressive. i look forward to the day where he gets a chance to defend himself. ainsley: he served our country. brian: he has been vilified everywhere. ainsley: general, amazing manual. in december, when he met with the ambassador of russia, why he lied about what they talked about is beyond me. they talked about sanctions. and he lied about it that was the biggest story in december. that's like us sitting down with president trump in november and not talking about the election.

so why he lied about that i'm not sure of. but he did lie about it the vice president was caught on tv saying they didn't talk about sanctions. it turns out they did. so president trump fired him about two weeks later. 18 days later after the story broke. steve: right. exactly. all we heard from sally yates yesterday was that something about his conduct was problematic. it was problematic. but we don't know what. and so he was fired despite the evidence that he had conveyed any come pro-compromising information. we don't know what it was. >> thanks, "the washington post," we know it was regarding sanctions. going back to the only crime committed that we know of so far. there was no collusion or anything else we know of was the surveillance. and the unmasking. and lindsey graham made it very clear why everybody should be worried about that. listen. >> it's important to know about the unmasking of the conversation between the ambassador and general flynn. somebody took that information and leaked it to the "the

washington post" and you cannot allow intelligence to be politicized. so i want to get to the bottom line of who did that. there is a small yfersz of people that can ask the intelligence community to give them conversations between a foreign agent and an american citizen. brian: this whole surveillance act is going to be renewed or not renewed. five year expiration comes up on it if the american people don't feel secure about who is being masked and unmasked. hundreds of requests in the final year of the obama administration. the president indicates that he believed him and his team were part of those requests maybe for reasons that don't have any reason to do with national security. so, that could cause the whole thing to implode. ainsley: like lindsey graham said and the president said the big story here is surveillance. you are not allowed to have classified information and release it to the press. that is unacceptable. it's a felony. we need to find out who did that collusion thing we are a news agency. if there is collusion there we

want to know about it. we will report on it. so far no evidence. brian: dig deep into the "new york times" like page 18 they talk about how not only does collusion doesn't exist but all the polls leading up to this election, even though james comey aside, showed donald trump was surging ahead of hillary clinton before any letters were released and before any collusion evidently took place which now we know so far there is no indication it did. steve: there was one other tantalizing line of questioning. i watched pretty much the whole thing yesterday was the talk that there are rumors, it sounds like in washington, that the surveillance apparatus for the united states government not only spied on donald trump and his team but it sounds like they also may have spied on other presidential candidates from maybe both parties and other members of congress. given the kind of questions that they were asking. so that is -- and we have heard the rumors. but that was actually part of the testimony and the questioning yesterday on

capitol hill. brian: rand paul said that last night with hannity and may 5th as well. i want to find out if my name popped up. no one is answering that question. steve: your name? brian: no rand paul wants to know if his name popped up. ainsley: your name might be on the list. brian: i would welcome. ainsley: what did we learn? brian: expblacket who was supposed to pick up caitlin? why is she alone on the street? steve: we know we have been been in wikileaks a bunch 6 times. brian: did i say anything interesting? because i can't remember yesterday. ainsley: apparently not. steve: just a transcript from the show. ainsley: let's hand it over to jackie who has headlines for us. good morning. jackie: good morning. nice to have everyone at home. airport terminal looking more like a scene from fight club. hundreds of stranded passengers demanding answers after spirit airlines cancelled nine flights at fort lauderdale airport, police forced to step in when travelers started violently pounding the counters. then a brawl broke out.

steve: house republicans are promising small business owners that the replacement bill is going to be a big win for everybody. >> we take a small step today when americans are not forced to buy insurance they don't want or afford. small businesses are no longer forced to offer healthcare their workers can't afford either. steve: recent survey found that 60% of small business owners were hoping that obamacare will be repealed. will they accept the replacement bill whatever that

winds up being. heather, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: we're going to put something up on the screen right now, top three issues small business owners want the president to address. healthcare, tax reform, and jobs all right. we knew that why is it 60% of small business owners want the affordable care act done away with? >> when we study the economy and you look at small business owners and what they want, you put your blood, sweat, and tears in to -- the small business is your baby. the last thing you want is for someone to government mandate or anyone to mandate how you run your business. of course you want to give your employees the best benefits possible and the highest wages you can on a competitive basis. if it puts you out of business due tout cost of premiums. steve: sure. >> then you can't even employ these people. it's a negative in the end.

small businesses can't afford it. steve: sure. we have talked for years about the impact on the individual person who is getting the insurance. but sometimes we don't talk as much about the actual business. if have you a certain number of employees, then have you good to cover them and pay for them. if you have too many, or if the person is full time, you think you know, i really can't afford that i'm going to have to cut them back from had 0 hours a week to 30 hours a week so i don't have to buy their healthcare. >> g.d.p. right now is anemic. 07 growth in the country right now. we want small businesses to grow from 49 to say 100 employees. obamacare has, perhaps stopped or prevented them from growing their business. because if they don't want to insure they're employees you have to pay a penalty. some employers may have paid. the harsh reality is those small businesses that do have

over 50 employees right now. they have already had to insure their ploirsz or pay that penalty. if that happens and obamacare is repealed, the small business owners are not going to go back and say, you know, just kidding, we're not going to insure you anymore. the employers would have massive uprising and go to bigger corptions who can afford to pay competitive benefits. hopefully this does provide big texas cuts to business owners. some of it is already so entangled and entrenched it's hard to get out from under it. steve: heather, i think you touched on it earlier the man democrats. if you run a business, you don't like the government telling you how to run your business ultimately. when it comes to the actual care, people are hoping that whatever the republican healthcare bill is going to be, it's more reasonably priced and it's just outright better. >> yes. we have to lower the premiums. you look at the tax implication. $172 billion would be saved

from the investment income. 3.8% surcharge that would be repealed as well as 270 billion-dollar tax cut back in your pocket coming from the employer mandate tax being lifted if the republican healthcare bill passed. we are going to see a lot of ping-ponging back and forth between the house and senate before we can come up with a compromise. steve: heather joining us from d.c. thank you. >> thank you. steve: it is 6:20 now in new york city. coming up, the crime is horrific, two boston doctors found murdered in cold blood. this morning, a big update. the text message taking us inside their final moments. we'll share that with you come up. he was busted at the airport on his way to join ifsz. he was thrown in jail. he was sent to terror rehab. so how does terror rehab work? we'll explain ♪ nowhere to hide

there must be something wrong with islam. so you have apostasy. have you bleasm and have you also have a concept called loyalty and anonymity where muslims are required to make choices between what they love and what they hate. those three very powerful gravitational forces influence the entire global islamic world. brian: it's amazing too those hoping gitmo change their ways. only hope they have if s. if they were falsely imprisoned. if they were imprisoned for being a member of isis or al qaeda or al shabaab or another extremist sect and legitimately guilty they are going to go back and doing what they they have been doing. >> that's what they did. they have to demonstrate that they are still loyal to islam. immediately they are going to go back and demonstrate that loyalty as i mentioned. imat thienmity and loyalty.

brian: some used to be in the bloods, the crypts or months. people get off drugs and they get reformed. why don't juwaadists get reformed. >> because it's a capital offense. if you commit blasphemy or appos tease or don't choose to make the right choices regarding enmity or loyalty you can be killed for it that's a little different of a picture. brian: that's true. saudis think they can rehab you. a lot of thames they have this reeducation camp about islamic extremists. is that a folly and do they know it. >> yeah. they do know it it's basically a cover. cya operation. they know that the recidivism, the return is very high. i think the numbers range somewhere overall between denmark, saudi arainia, yemen and other areas 40 and 60% of the individuals go back to the

battlefield immediately. brian: phil, a lot of people say okay, if you are a 24-year-old and you are in jail from the islamic extremists and you say you have reformed your ways, are you saying the only way that phil haney would be convinced from what have you seen is for them to leave islam all together? >> well, that would be -- that's a hard choice. let's face it it's illegal. it's a capital offense to leave islam. we are never going to develop an approach that's effective if we avoid discussing these very difficult subjects. it's a capital offense to leave islam it's called apostasy. they have to deal with that. brian: i guess this judge is being naive. >> let's hope he is not aware and once he does hear this program he will reconsider his approach. brian: phil haney you paint a dark picture but one sadly from your years of experience retired dhs employee phil handwritingy. thank you. >> you're welcome. brian: next on our rundown, if you have a different one at

florida and central florida. fire danger in this area and 100,000 acres of more of fires burning. so, one of the worst wildfire seasons so far. and may is typically the dryest season for florida and there is not a lot of relief in the forecast, unfortunately when it comes to rain, talking about temperatures in the 80's and the 90's. all right. real quick. these are not my relatives but i wanted to introduce you. what's your name? >> i'm burt rice and kim rice. janice: where are you from? >> cincinnati. janice: look at this beautiful sign they brought. we love janice dean. that's amazing. janice: it's my birthday today. how could you tell? am i wearing a little tiara? i am. ainsley: happy birthday, janice. >> thank you, my friends. janice: when are you leaving? >> tomorrow. janice: share birthday cake with me later? steve: why. why do you think there is birthday cake later? janice: because shannon bream is going to be celebrating my

secret information and leaked it to the post. >> we also know that the obama administration was listening to every word that general flynn was uttering in trump tower. and we know from general clapper, james clapper, the head of the dni that british intelligence alerted them to things that general flynn was saying because they had been looking a at donald trump before he was a candidate and then president-elect donald trump. brian: they refer to an article in the guardian citing british intelligence. >> yes. yes. i think this shows a couple of things. one, there is too much raw intelligence data in the hands of too many people that can use it for bad purposes. because, two, the political use of raw intelligence data is a very, very serious crime and is a threat to the freedom in the united states of america. there is too much spying. too much information, and too many people have it remember

the concept of unmasking. the government listens to a conversation between an american and a foreign person. the government decides it needs to know who the american is. do you know how many times that was done when the american was somebody in the trump administration? 2,000 times, according to the information provided by general clapper yesterday. ainsley: would it be easy to find out who knew that information about the unmasking of general flynn in december when he talked to the ambassador. >> yes. there should be electronic fingerprints when unmavericking occurs. meaning the human being that goes in to the raw data to extract the true name of the person whose words were recorded on a transcript, a telephone conversation would leave an electronic fingerprint. we don't know any of that we also don't know who sent all of this information to the "the washington post." in an attempt to destabilize a validly elected administration donald trump. i'm convinced there were efforts to destabilize him at the outset and testimony as

that the president of the united states, barack obama, was aware of this. brian: could this president get the information, being that he is in office right now? >> yes, he can. steve: what's the delay. >> this is all part of the fbi investigation and these investigations take time. i have been very critical of jim comey. in this investigation i am not critical of him. he has refused to speak about it, as he should refuse to speak about it because it's midstream. they don't know where it's going to end up. they don't know if anybody is going to be indicted. steve: right. the headline yesterday was sally yates talking about how she told the white house there is a problematic problem with whatever michael flynn did. okay. and but we don't know exactly what the problematic thing was. >> correct. steve: yet. he got fired over it? >> sally yates had the transcripts of everything he said. i thought she was credible yesterday. quite properly was not able to reveal everything that she knows because some of it is classified. but as a person who wasn't there yesterday. i wish that senator graham had

speensd her, rather than inviting her. steve: susan rice. >> susan rice is the ring master of the unmasking. brian: are we ever going to hear from general michael film. >> i hope. so. brian: if you were his counsel would you allow him to do that. >> i would not. because anything he says hasn't been used against him. he hasn't been charged with a crime. doesn't admit to a crime. you don't know what potholes are out there. a good lawyer would restrain him from speaking. the journalist side in me is dying to know what he has to say. brian: i'm sure he is chomping at the bit. >> i'm sure is he dying to give his version. remember. ainsley: sally yates said she did not. james clapper said he did not leak to the "the washington post." from. >> you ask about the unmavericking. very few people have that power. ainsley: i know. >> once the cat is out of bag who knows how it made its way to the "the washington post." steve: judge, thank you very much. >> you are welcome.

brian: is that a legal term cat in bag? >> i thought you taught me that back on the radio? grirnl. ainsley: cat out of bag means a cat has eagles on her back and we pushed the cat out into the community. >> brian, the toothpaste is out of tube. steve: we only have two hours and tw 10 minutes left in the show. reading and writing and bashing the pee pin that the i can't. the parent and student who brought the video to light join us live. ainsley: president trump blamed for a number of outrageous things. now, you can add divorce to that list. seriously? carley shimkus is here with that and the other top trending headlines this morning. brian: judge, meet carley. ♪ dream maker. ♪ you're a heart breaker ♪ dream maker ♪ don't you mess around ♪ no, no, no

traditional marriage citing his christian beliefs. now, the interesting thing here is that the university is a jesuit college. steve: sure. >> not everybody on campus agrees with this decision. one of the graduates, ann murray says i'm very troubled by trends at cleedgesz across america where conservative views are silenced and shut down in both directions in indirect ways. i fear that these culture wars, boycotts are particularly polarizing. steve: um-huh. brian: right. >> that's the opposing view to taking the chain down. and there's another reaction coming in from brian who said. ainsley: brian kilmeade? brian: no. >> sad that students are more worried about chicken sand witches instead of real issues facing the nation. >> and another says so much for tolerance. >> i remember when they put the chick-fil-a on campus it was life changing. brian: people get emotional when it comes to donald trump and hillary clinton.

later part of his career trying to focus that way. ainsley: people focus on that instead of listening to our show this morning? brian: absolutely not. not looking to gamble. kentucky derby everyone lost their shirt. steve: meanwhile, if you were watching the show yesterday throughout the afternoon and in to the early evening hours, sally yates took the stage along with james clapper there. here is essentially what this hearing was about. the democrats wanted to know was there collusion between the trump campaign and russians. and the answer to that is at this point there is no evidence, even though the fbi, the senate and the house are all doing investigations. no information of that meanwhile, the republicans focused in on a law that apparently was broken. and during the campaign and during the transition period, apparently somebody unmasked the name of at least one trump associate, michael flynn. and released that to the press. release dollars that to the "the washington post." and that is against the law.

that's what the republicans focused in on. ainsley: we were asking the judge earlier wouldn't this be easy to find out because they are talking about his conversations with the russian ambassador last december. aren't there only a few people who know. steve: only a few can unmask but then they can tell people. ainsley: that's where it gets tricky. yates and clapper said under oath yesterday they did not release it to the "the washington post." how do we know they didn't about it amongst their friends. brian: one of the follow-up was did you tell a deputy or somebody else who leaked that to the press? this has really brought up if you asked me the president's tweet that saturday morning when he said obama spied on me, sick. and he went on to other things to say, listen, some of that going on. now, on may 5th. senator rand paul says i want to find out if they were spying on me. then he reiterated that last night with sean hannity. the show has nothing to do with donald trump. >> it shows he was just a candidate for president for a while, thought to be have a real shot at winning. ainsley: well, if you missed

it yesterday, senator lindsey graham and senator chuck grassley were questioning them yesterday in front of the senate. listen. >> did either of you ever request the unmasking of mr. trump, his associates or any member of congress? >> yes. and in one case i did. >> did either of you ever review classified documents in which mr. trump, his associates or members of congress had been unmasked? >> well, yes. >> you have. can you give us details here? >> no, i can't. >> ms. yates, have you. >> yes, i have and no, i can't give you details. >> how did the conversation between the russian ambassador and mr. flynn make it to the "the washington post"? >> i don't know the answer to that. >> no. nor do i know the answer to that. steve: well, we kind of know what happened though. we know that the names were -- some names were unmasked. and then as we learned in the front pages of the "new york times," in the final days of the obama administration, the

nsa rules were relaxed so that they could distribute those names, that information as widely as possible to keep it as part of the public record. you know, within the permanent government. ultimately though, was it just to destroy the opening months of the trump administration? there are many who would say obviously they were trying to sandbag the new president and so far they have done a pretty good job. ainsley: the president agrees with that. the president tweeted yesterday. latest tweet was biggest story today between clapper and yates is on surveillance. why doesn't the media report on this? #fake news. brian: it's choice news. not so much fake news. in that people are making a choice when they stack their news shows about what's going to be covered and what's not going to be covered. as far as the president goes, this going to drive him crazy. forget about it. don't even watch this. there is no collusion. if there was, democrats would have come running with it al franken would be having 24-hour press conferences. it's not happening. move on and don't worry about it but focus on, two. i will tell you what,

democrats should be paying attention. because now you have a republican in the white house. if you don't like the fact that maybe -- if you don't believe that there is credibility that president obama had this access and abused it, are you going to feel differently now that president trump is in office now and now you might be targeted. steve: noble can abuse it the whole idea is not to abuse it. ainsley: brian is right. he said choice news. different media outlets are choosing to report it in different ways. the headline really is there is still no evidence of collusion between russia and president trump. brian: no there there. ainsley: that's fact. listen, we are a news organization. we're going to report it. if that ever comes to be, if we ever find evidence of that we are going to tell you about it. so far there is no evidence. yesterday we did learn that yates and clapper both said they did not release the information to the "the washington post." period, paragraph. that's the story. if you read the "new york times," it starts out the whole article on the front page starts out about how general flynn didn't lose his job until february. they are questioning the president for why he waited 18 days to fire him.

i'm like that's not the story. steve: judge napolitano was on with us a little while ago. he had this observation about the unmasking of the names which was, to him, a big problem. >> i think this shows a couple of things. one, there's too much raw intelligence data in the hands of too many people that can use it for bad purposes. because, two, the political use of raw intelligence data is a very, very serious crime and is a threat to the freedom in the united states of america. there is too much spying. too much information. and too many people have it i'm convinced there were efforts to destabilize him at the outseth and it appears that the president of the united states, barack obama, was aware of this. brian: so that's where we stand right now. that's always been something to the judge's defense that he is always worried about when it came to the nsa. what if they used the nsa against us and how pervasive and big is this activity. something else came up. you might remember it, seems like years ago.

it was only a couple of months ago when the president of the united states introduced extreme vetting to some these terror six, maybe seven originally of these terror laden nations. he wants to make sure since they have no paperwork that they are getting extreme vetting. until then, he wanted a temporary ban. the order put out there before the attorney general really got his job was ruled -- was not allowed to go through. the courts stopped it but, first, it was sally yates, the acting a.g. that stopped it. steve: that's right. and sally yates was fired because she did not support the president's travel ban even though the department of justice, office of legal counsel said the ban was legal. so, yesterday, john kennedy, the senator from the great state of louisiana, a republican, asked her a very pointed question on how, look, the rule -- the lawyers at the department of justice said it was legal. and, yet, she said it was unconstitutional. so that led to this conversation between the two of them. >> at what point does the

statute or an executive order become unconstitutional? is it some opriore determines? let me tell you what i'm getting at. and i don't mean any disrespect. who appointed you to the united states supreme court? >> i was appointed. >> that determined -- isn't ittn is that decides what's constitutional or not? in fact, aren't most acts of congress presumed to be constitutional? >> they are presumed but they are not always constitutional and no, of course, i was not on the supreme court and, i can tell you, senator, look, we really wrestled over this decision. i personally wrestled over this decision. and it was not one that i took lightly at all. steve: it wasn't. she and ted cruz also were discussing how president trump could not. >> referee: gees and, yet, she said nothing about when barack obama did exactly the same thing back in 2011 for six months regarding iraqi

refugees. ainsley: let's remind everyone she was appointed by president obama. brian: right. that's part of the reason why president trump -- president trump's organization had trouble getting the feet underneath them so many obama appointees functioning in the white house and still there today. be better off with empty desks rather than desks of people trying to undermine them. steve: as part of the permanent government. ainsley: a lot of people would agree with you. hand it over to jackie for headlines this morning. jackie: good morning. and good morning to everyone at home. hundreds of stranded pass jerusalem demanding answers this morning after spirit airlines cancelled at least nine flights at fort lauderdale airport. police forced to step in when passengers started violently pounding the counter and then this brawl broke out.

>> sit down, take stock of where we are at. we are going to look to the future. determine what more is needed if anything. how we are going to determine that is based upon an update with the enemy situation. brian: that is defense secretary former general james mattis. laying out his efforts to defeat isis. and part of the plan taking the fight back to afghanistan, possibly putting 3 to 5,000 more troops there the pentagon set to ask president trump for that number in the region. but is this the right move? let's ask former green beret commander and warrior diplomat lieutenant general michael -- lieutenant colonel. are you've done enough.

real quick, do you like the numbers that mattis put forward. >> i think they are about right. look, i think -- let's be clear here, we're novato talking about putting american troops on the ground where they are kicking in doors and they are holding territory. what we have been doing the last couple of years is supporting the afghan army and supporting the afghan police with an advisory effort. but that advisory effort has been two senior, kind of two to astrategic. too high level. we need to push those advisors down to the battalions, the brigade and even the company level where they can really help the afghans in the fight. brian: what's the focus, so sustain that government o to kill off the taliban, to wipe off isis? what is it? >> it is certainly to wipe out isis an an organization. but it's to blunt the taliban's momentum. look, brian, what we can't do is walk away from afghanistan like we did in iraq and then have al qaeda resurgent, isis

growing in the wake of a taliban offensive. and that's exactly what will happen. it's what is slowly happening now. so, i think we need to accept that we are going to be there for quite some time. supporting the afghans in a supporting role. but, you know, the option of just leaving and letting these groups come back again and threaten the united states again is not a good one. brian: we lost a couple of guys there from special forces. over the last two weeks. and then people are getting a little weary of that plus, president trump, has to make a decision they say before may 25th nato summit. announce it and get support for it because nato has helped us out significantly there. >> that's right. brian: is he america first. let's stop spending on these foreign wars. do you think that would be counter productive for him and his strategy to write billions of dollars for an afghanistan war that might not give them complete victory? would that be going against what he ran on? >> well, you know, and i completely understand the

america first approach. but he also ran on keeping america safe. and, again, you know, let's look at it this way. pakistan has a -- which is right next door to afghanistan. a population of 200 billion are excuse me, 200 million in nuclear weapons. afghanistan a population of about 30 million. if we let that area fall. brian: right. >> and degenerate into chaos and we have a resurgence of al qaeda and now isis again, america will be less safe. i think we are going to be engaged there for quite some time at a low level, a supporting level like we have been in south korea and other places, fighting this idea of islamic extremism. brian: right. because of course they are training in pakistan and coming up with brand new uniforms and guns to fight in afghanistan. so we have to do something about that. that's certainly would make things better. >> i think we have to make a much tougher stance and take a firmer stance against pakistan, absolutely. brian: lieutenant general michael waltz thanks so much. good to know have you general

mcmaster and general mattis to served substantially in afghanistan. that will help. >> they know what they are doing. brian: i hope so and i think so. reading writing and bash ago president. yep, talking about a piñata with the president's face on it we will talk to the people that exposed this story. this is the new guy? hello, my name is watson. you know wine, huh? i know that you should check vineyard block 12. block 12? my analysis of satellite imagery shows it would benefit from decreased irrigation. i was wondering about that. easy boy. nice doggy. what do you think? not bad.

and i saw it on snapchat, you know, because these kids are putting this stuff all over social media and i was like what the heck this is happening in my daughter's high school. and i said, you know, to me i just, of course, wanted to say something. i would like to just have taken it right to the administration except for it was friday evening. i put a couple pictures on facebook and said this happened at my daughter's school today. ainsley: haley, you are not in that teacher's class, correct? >> yeah. i have never had that teacher in my four years of being at the high school. ainsley: what was your reaction to this happening and what's your reaction to your mom's response as well? >> honestly my reaction at first was kind of shocked because i understanding that some of these students have views that aren't the greatest about donald trump or mexico's president which was on the other side of the piñata. i was shocked that it was allowed at school during school hours. and it was difficult to have my mom post about it on

facebook. at first i thought it would be a really good idea to get the word out there. but it's just come down hill because of it. ainsley: well, leslie, you didn't even vote for president trump. you were a gary johnson supporter from what i understand. and now i'm hearing that you are getting death threats? it's getting scary. what's the reaction? >> the reaction was to me i'm not on a witch-hunt here. i just think this needs to be kind of looked at. was this an appropriate activity at school? we already live in such a divisive political climate.are e student evening more and putting them in situations where they are going to be bull idea. suicides in high school right now the things that are happening. yeah, i voted for gary johnson. to me this isn't about trump. on the other side of the piñata was mexico's president. and i'm not really sure that makes it better though. to me it just makes it worse. why are we putting these political figures on a pin i can't tell attachment. ainsley: i was shocked when i read about this story. i was shocked to know that a teacher actually would do

this. i mean, we all can have our opinions, but to be political in the classroom is something else. the teacher has been suspended and we do have a statement from the superintendent of your county, of your school district said this was an incredibly disrespectful act that does not reflect the values of roosevelt high school or the school district. haley, what are your students, what are your friends at school saying? are they agreeing with this teacher or are they agreeing with your mom. >> it's a little bit of both. my friends that have been here for me through it all have been more supportive of it and understand it from both point of views that it's bad for the teacher and also bad on my mom's part. but there are some people that have been very vicious about it that have been just tearing my mom and i apart just because of the little bit of issue that mom had. ainsley: i'm really sorry about that. haley, are you able to see

that your mom is standing up for the right thing and being righteous and doing what she is called to do. she didn't vote for president trump. your mom is saying it's not about that it's about respecting our president and the leader of this great country? >> yeah. i totally see that i agree with her that even if you aren't a big fan of donald trump, that he is still or even mexico's president, that they are still large political figures and they need to be respected no matter what. ainsley: all right. well, hats off to both of you. thank you both so much for coming on. really appreciate your courage leslie and haley have great day. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. liberals taking attacks to republicans to a whole new level. >> diagnosed 18 years ago. talk about somebody to ho fought cancer. that's offensive. >> that disgusting moment. a congressman is heckled as is he discussing his wife's battle with cancer. that's straight ahead. the senate already sending signals that we might not see

>> i don't know the answer to that. >> no. >> nor i do know the answer to that. steve: joining us right now we have the speaker of the house, paul ryan. good morning to you. brian: in studio. a very rare appearance. ainsley: before we get to that congratulations on healthcare. >> it was a good day for us. we are keeping our word. we are keeping our promise. steve: we will talk about healthcare in a moment. first let's talk about what happened yesterday. i know you were busy as speaker of the house on the senate side they had that hearing. it's interesting the democrats wanted to talk about whether or not there was collusion between the russians and the trump camp. no evidence of that at that point. >> correct. steve: but the republicans wanted to talk about how somebody inside the government unmasked a name or two. and then leaked it to the "the washington post." and that, they say, is a crime. >> that is a crime. so that is taking classified information, unclassifying it, and leaking it out. that is something somebody in the obama administration decided to do and it did happen. so the question of this investigation is to get to the bottom of that obviously you

saw they basically said we saw this information but they didn't give us any details. that's why we have an investigation. we also have a classified investigation to get into the classified side of this, to sort of reverse engineer this to find out who did this. because that is illegal. steve: do you think the motivation on whomever did this was to sandbag the trump administration? >> i'm not going to prejudge it because we are in the middle of the investigation but it certainly looks like this was politicized. ainsley: what the shows doing. >> the same thing. we had the same kinds of hearing. so they be answered in a classified setting. they said they wouldn't answer it but in a classified hearing they have to answer it. brian: let's talk about healthcare. democrats were chanting as you passed this na na na na, goodbye. meaning there goes your majority. number one, on a personal level, does that bother you? >> it's kind of childish, sophomoric. more importantly, i think what's happening is the left is seeing their vision of government run healthcare evaporate before their eyes.

it's really disturbing to them. but here's the problem. this law is collapsing. this law is failing fast. and so what we're doing is a rescue operation, which is getting rid of this law, which is collapsing, iowa last week, the last insurer said we are pulling out. that means in 94 of 99 counties in the state of iowa, no health insurance choices. five states are down to one insurer left. maryland just announced a 58% premium increase for next year. etna just pulled out of virginia. this law is collapsing. and people aren't getting any care let alone affordable care. brian: one of the architects of obamacare blame republicans and donald trump for that saying you guys are causing that and blaming us. >> this is because obamacare didn't work to begin with basically said we are going to force people to buy something they don't document buy. force younger, healthier people to way overpay for healthcare to try to subsidize for everybody else. that didn't work. we have a better system. what our plan does is aimed at getting premiums down. letting people have a plan that they want that's more

affordable and yes, our plan has layers of protection for people with preexisting conditions. people with lower premiums and people with preexisting conditions can get access to coverage. that's what our plan achieves. ainsley: what's your response people listening. before repeal and replace was passed through the house that were saying you wouldn't let them look at the bill when it was written? >> that is not true. our bill was online for a couple of months. the last amendment was a three-page amendment. obamacare was over 2,000 pages. this bill is less than 200 pages. and it was posted online for over a month. anybody in america, anybody in the world could read this bill. ainsley: how is that narrative spread. >> what i think is the left is spreading these narratives to try and just basically throw sand in the gears. because they don't want to see obamacare go away. they want their vision of a government run system takeover healthcare occur and it's not happening. what our plan does is gives people more choices. give them a tax credit so they

can go buy a plan that they want. what we also learned in many states like my own state of wisconsin on or about the state of maine, they had really good systems in their states that guaranteed people with preexisting conditions got really affordable healthcare. what we're basically saying is let's have state and federal assistance for people with catastrophic illnesses. directly subsidize their specific care so that they get affordable care but that means everybody else doesn't have to pay for that. so you can lower premiums for all other people in america. that's what we are trying to achieve here. steve: so, after the house passed healthcare, did you call up mitch mccoming? >> did i call up mitch mcconnell and said the ball is in your court now. we are excited to get working with you guys. they were already preparing a plan, i mean a group to get this processed over there. because we made a promise. we made a promise to the people who sent to us congress. steve: sure. >> that we would repeal and replace this failing law with patient-centered healthcare to get lower premiums, lower prices and, yes, we have multiple ways of making sure that a person with a preexisting condition with a catastrophic illness gets affordable coverage and the

way we propose to do it is a way where everyone can have access and lower premiums. ainsley: how long is it going to take? mainstream media said it's going to be 2018. brian: senator coons said that yesterday. >> it's not going to take that overnight. it took about six years for obamacare to get put up. steve: what about passing the legislation in the senate. >> the legislation should not take that long. hopefully it takes a monthor two to get it through the senate. ainsley: you think it will happen by the fall. >> hopefully it takes a month or two. we need the people to get ability to plan. insurers are pulling out very, very quickly. we need to shoat insurers there is a better system coming. day in the market. brian: i'm sure you know jimmy kimmel comes out and talks about a important story to him his son born with heart disease and needed emergency care. he said healthcare shouldn't matter how much money you make the type of healthcare you get. so he came out and then senator cassidy a republican came out and said there should be a jimmy kimmel test.

preexisting conditions have to be covered. there was a back and forth. jimmy kimmel came back on the air last night and he said. this i want you to respond. >> since i am jimmy kimmel i would like to make a suggestion as to what the jimmy kimmel test should be. i will keep it simple. jimmy kimmel test shouldable no family denied medical care emergency or otherwise because they can't afford it can that be the jimmy kimmel test? [cheers and applause] steve: well, that's the bar. >> totally legitimate test. let me give you test. before obamacare we had 10% in the individual market in risk pool. 8 or 9 plans to chose from. open network go to any doctor or hospital they wanted to. premiums and deductibles were cheaper then than whether a they're under obamacare. other 90% of wisconsinites had even cheaper health insurance. focused or support for the people who needed it the most. that lowered the cost of premiums for everybody else. we think we have better

answers for making sure that people in the jimmy kimmel world. brian: follow-up appointment's are the key. treat you if you get to the hospital. >> need to have insurance plan. ainsley: can't you argue it's because of obamacare that these insurance companies are dropping out and therefore people aren't getting coverage? >> it is. that's great point, ainsley. what good is obamacare if you don't even have health insurance. what good is it for those people in iowa won't have one plan to choose? you don't get coverage for preexisting condition if none is being offered to you. that's why we have to step in and rescue this thing from collapse. steve: sure, mr. speaker, what about under obamacare people who are older can pay up to three times more than somebody who is younger? there is a story out there that under your healthcare plan that passed the house last week that older penal might actually pay five times more. >> see, that's the way insurance is priced. what obamacare tried to do is it tried to shrink the cost differences by saying young people, you're going to pay a whole lot more than you otherwise would to subsidize everybody else. what happened was young people

have said i'm not going to do it. i'm just not going to buy the insurance. i will pay the fine. therefore obamacare is in what they call a death spiral. it's not affordable and the premiums are getting really expensive and plans are pulling out. what we are saying is let's just give tax credits and bigger tax credits for older people. more for people in their 50's and 60's so they can afford that coverage. that way you are not overcharging young people so they do buy the insurance. brian: wall street is right down the block, too. one question about healthcare. you are now on the senate side and i know it's their problem but you are watching. susan collins, moderate. rand paul and ted cruz. they can lose 2 votes. you 22 votes. how can they get that together? they are tearing up your plan. >> the senate is going to do their thing. that's what the legislative process is this is how legislation works. you have a big debate in the house. you pass the bill. have you a big debate in the senate you pass the bill. then did you go what we call

reconcile the differences. athens house legislation is drafted. ainsley: president trump wants it done yesterday. >> i love the fact that he wants to get things done for the american people. is he pushing us hard which somewhat we want to see happen. the point brian is this law is collapsing. it's not working. we have better ideas for how to replace it and address these needed goals. brian: but you know susan collins dramatically. >> this shows you how big of a tent our party is from susan collins to ted cruz, the point is both of them live in states where obamacare is failing. and both of them said that they would repeal and replace this law. that's what we have to make good on. steve: okay. so your big plan was take care of healthcare and then move on to tax. we will talk about taxes on the other side of a time-out. can you stick around two more minutes? >> sure. steve: good answer. ♪ the music sets me on fire ♪ then i was saved ♪ oh, yeah ♪ 24hr protection

so the political opponents of barack obama, mrs. clinton, were unmasked and the intelligence officials and yates her self knew about that. what we don't know how that information, how the information leaked to "the washington post," that was classified got there. we still don't know that. i have a feeling we're never going to know that because they both said multiple people in the government knew about the unmasking. a lot of people knew. so of all the pantheon of people in the administration who knew, one of those individuals gave that information to "the washington post." that is a felony. that is time served in a federal penitentiary. that is is the crime and we still don't have any information on it. ainsley: judge napolitano, laura, made a great point. he said even if yates and clapper say that they weren't the ones that released it to the "washington post," they might have talked about it with their colleagues.

the colleague might have released it to the media. you're right, i agree with you, i don't think we'll ever find out. >> this is wild goose chase at this point. to me that is the underlying question. if we're unmasking individuals, what did you get out of all this, that nike flynn talked to the russian ambassador and sanctions might have been mentioned? we have former government officials, well-respected, who say that happened, why is that? that's a crime, that he spoke to kislyak? there might be other information, and i assume there is, what michael flynn did vis-a-vis his association over the years with russia, that he didn't reveal, i don't know what that is but just speaking, i said this in january, just speaking to the russian ambassador -- brian: is nothing. >> issue of sanctions being brought up is not a federal case. it just isn't. so i don't think we learned a lot yesterday frankly at this hearing, i really don't.

steve: before the hearing, nbc had news flashed apparently the president, former president obama himself actually warned trump that then soon to be president trump, that you know, i wouldn't put too much stock, i wouldn't have michael flynn in a big job in your white house but sean spicer yesterday afternoon made it very clear, look, it is not like he was a fan. flynn had been strident critic of the obama administration and then he also said, you know if the obama people were so worried about flynn why didn't they get rid of his security clearance? >> that was a great point sean raised. also begs the question, what did the president know about the unmasking? maybe he was referencing something that they had hoped to uncover in the justice department's investigation. did know anything about it? that is an interesting point. i don't know, again, we don't know much right now except that

the democrats want to put sally yates up on mount rushmore or erect statues to her in place of all the confederate statues being pulled down south. she is the heroine of the moment. i maintain we learned very little, except democrats desperately wanted to find a connection between the trump campaign and russia, and have come up empty. maybe some other information is out there, but i would assume at this point, at this moment in time that information would have been brought to the public's knowledge at this point. brian: laura, easy to beat up on general flynn because he has not spoken. if you met general flynn and read his books and how competent he is and served country. he is more than able to defend himself. i look forward to that day if he has answers. it is too easy to beat up on somebody you don't see. wait until he goes before the microphones. i think he will go -- >> he will not do it unless he

gets an immunity deal, that is what i would advise him if i was representing him. given the atmosphere in washington and targeting -- could be targeting of one's political opponents by using the intelligence committee, intelligence community in this way, i mean if i were representing him i wouldn't walk him into these hearings, just subject yourself to this. i wouldn't. steve: because ultimately sound like he may have not told the truth to the fbi. that is a big problem. just ask martha stewart. >> exactly. when you're asked questions by the fbi whether in the vetting process or in the course of a normal investigation you have to be honest. you have to be truthful. brian: we'll see if that is indeed true. >> regarding other business dealings or other things you did that might have had some connection you have to be forthcoming this. is toxic atmosphere in washington, d.c. they smell blood in the water on the left with trump. they will use anything they can

to try to make him look like he is incompetent forever considering flynn. why the obama information came out yesterday. the question, why didn't donald trump do anything about this? obama warned him. come on. brian: laura, there is another major story out there evidently jared kushner, called up the prime minister, president of canada, and said, you know what? convince, convince donald trump not to leave nafta. do you find this credible? >> i have talked to a couple people close to the inner circle at the white house about this story over the last 48 hours. two people confirmed to me this in fact happened. i find that to be putting the president in a very vulnerable situation if that occurred. first of all, unless you are the secretary of state or you are the u.s. trade rep, or the commerce secretary and you're charged by the president to go have these off-line

conversations with canadian leaders on an eshoo as important as nafta, i don't know why you're doing it. it raises all sorts of problems. again i'm looking out, in this case for the president's vulnerability. he campaigned on scrapping nafta, and redoing a version of it but scrapping it. how many speeches did he give about nafta? somebody is calling up trudeau or calling up a trudeau senior official, saying you call him? i mean, if i were president, that would make me, that would make me very uncomfortable. if you want to give advice to the president, i worked in the white house, if you want to give advice to the president on a critical matter, one-on-one, you go through proper channels. you don't go to the foreign country and tell the for rin country to convince the president. that game of telephone tag puts the president in my view in very vulnerable position both with his base and i think with overall critics of the administration.

who is running the show here? brian: that is climate change agenda. jared kushner has a different climate change agenda than the president. >> same issue coming up regarding climate change. the president campaigned and has really good instincts. his political instincts are among the best i have ever seen. i don't care what anyone says. he has amazing instincts. i think he gets trouble doubting his instincts, he starts hearing voices. you have to do this, mr. president, because "the new york times" will be upset or european partners will be upset or china will be upset. he ran as conservative populist. the most important thing he can focus on today, how to make the lives of average americans better, day in, day out. is the paris accord make lives of average ohioans and wisconsin and people from pennsylvania better? he has to come to the conclusion himself. it is not what he campaigned on. he should stick to his political instincts.

have been fired. steve: well, listen, is it her job as acting, former acting attorney general to figure out if something is unconstitutional or not? snobs slautly not. her job is to look at the executive order, if it is facially valid your job as attorney general is to defend it. that is exactly what the office of legal counsel told her it was defensible on its face. she overruled the office of legal counsel, the one dodd body in the department of justice freed from the political influence since it is insongs. very fascinating she claimed there was religious bias, when the seven countries that president trump identified in the original order were the same seven countries that barack obama asked congress to put in statute for deep concern about terrorism. her testimony that she was worried about the truth was absolutely ludicrous. steve: would have been great if some republicans on committee brought that up, but they didn't.
