2:02 pm
has stayed busy all day. we started this morning expecting for interviewers to take place but the list keeps growing. now the candidates are interviewing today are andrew mccabe, michael garcia, josh rainier, john cornyn, alice fisher, henry hudson, virginia judge, and fbi special agent, adam lee. all but one of those people have come and gone. if you are talking and are saying no, when they leave. they just keep going on their way. sources tell fox news that roughly one dozen candidates are being considered as a replacement for fired fbi director, james comey. president trumps is a decision could come as early as next week. he spoke about the entire process on air force one. >> they have been vetted over their lifetime. they are highly respected, very
2:03 pm
well known. >> the attorney general and deputy attorney general are reportedly conducting these interviews. the deputy attorney general has been invited to brief the senate this week. the big thing that has to happen regardless of who they pick is a senate confirmation. that will be another hurdle after they decide at the end of next week who they are going to pick. >> eric: thank you. we will be on the story through the next two hours. >> arthel: meanwhile, as we said president trump delivering his first commencement speech as commander-in-chief. offering words of advice to graduates of liberty university in virginia. caroline is live at the white house with the details. >> reporter: cuhello. president trump ended one of the tumultuous weeks of the
2:04 pm
presidency with a controversial free speech at the university this morning. 50000 people packed into the stadium to listen to the address. was mostly us smiling crowd for some graduates even wearing the president make america great again hat, with their down. he told the seniors that nothing ever came easier but nothing is more pathetic than be in it critic. and he said in his address, and america, we don't worship government, we worship god. the university president says he cannot think of another president who has done so much for the faith community in the first 120 days of the presidency. he did get a dig and say no one needs a lecture from washington on how to lead their lives. >> in my short time in washington i've seen first time how the system is broken. a small group of failed voices who think they know everything, and understand everyone, want to tell everybody else how to live and what to do, and how to think. but, you are not going to let other people tell you what you
2:05 pm
believe, especially when you know that you are right. >> mr. trump also received an honorary law degree from the university, while there. >> arthel: thank you very much for that story. meanwhile, we have this to tell you about a massive cyber attack hitting dozens of countries around the world. the victims include fedex in the u.s., many hospitals in the u.k., russia's foreign ministry, and the railway system in germany. the ransom where appears to exploit a vulnerability in microsoft windows that was reportedly identified by the u.s. national security agency and later leaked to the internet. brian is live in our new york city newsroom with the latest. >> reporter: good to see you. this appears to be the largest cyber attack of its kind in history. amazingly, experts are thinking
2:06 pm
a savvy 22-year-old britain -based researcher for finding the viruses so call, kill switch. stopping the spread of the attack before did more damage in the u.s. cyber security experts at ibm are working overtime to restore data, assess the damage, and shore up defenses for their clients. >> i think will learn a lot over the next 48 hours in terms of the spread of the attack, but also will be required to recover the systems. one thing we don't know the cases what percentage of the systems that were impacted the people have backups? with able to restore? that will be the second chapter of the story. the recovery. >> reporter: hackers used to microsoft windows flaw which was secretly used as a cyber weapon by the u.s. national security agency before it was leaked online. hackers exploited it when ransom where and spam e-mail attachment. it locks your computer and
2:07 pm
holding it hostage until a user pays a ransom. this is a screen shot as what it looks likes. it's alarming because of the sheer size and speed. hitting nearly 100 countries in the u.s., u.k., india, and china and russia. it affected all industries from the fedex corporation in the u.s., to the russian interior ministry, to the french carmaker, to british hospitals and medical centers. many hospitals were forced to cancel or delay routine procedures like x-rays, bio can procedures like cancer treatments. they are urging all americans to backup your data and download the windows security update. >> arthel: that's a crucial move there. thank you for the story. >> eric: president trump prepares for his first overseas trip later this week. israel and saudi arabia are on the side. concern about continuing threats with iran.
2:08 pm
one iranian predicts the regime will collapse just like the soviet union after the fall of the berlin wall and the liberation of eastern europe. he told me that in iran, the power is with the people. >> the regime has been given enough a chance to come clean. it has and for good reason. therefore, i say forget about this regime, think about the people. >> he is the oldest son of the shaw of iraq. now, the crown prince is a fighting for the soul of around. during his father's time, tehran was it ally and america was not the great -- as they now call us. the monarchy led by his father was overthrown by the 1979 islamic revolution of ayatollah and his family fled the country. now, he was fiorini people to rise up against the regime and
2:09 pm
establish a parliamentary moniker based on democratic values, freedom, and human rights. >> what i am calling upon is a process of civil obedience which is a method of change. how bringing domestic pressure on the system. if enough people refuse to cooperate like indians did in india during the british time, when they can paralyze the system by mass labor strikes across the nation, that is. people shooting bullets in the street. >> eric: so your clever revolution from within. >> i think the mechanism of change can be by nonviolence, civicivil disobedience. provided that it's nurtured and cared for. nelson mandela was in his cell in south africa when half of the world was doing business with their apartheid regime. until a point where people in the world said enough. this is no longer acceptable.
2:10 pm
>> eric: how does that happen what comes your country? >> i think the american people, throws america is concerned, the europeans, people in the region, the more they hear about what the iranian people want, not what that regime wants, they will in return till there would be congressman or decision-makers, what are you waiting for. these people are like us. they do not want to come here and destroy a surplus to pieces. they want to be like us. >> eric: he says their spontaneous protest and unrest against the regime that could spread with world support, unlike eight years ago. back in 2000 and whether people took to the streets, the green revolution, president obama could have done more? >> it is the people on the street are holding up slogans, in english or france they're not
2:11 pm
practicing those skills are sending a message. they were chanting on the streets, obama, obama, which is either with them or with us. make a choice. i think the choice was not to heed the call of the people. >> eric: the focus has been too much on the regime in your view. do also think that too much has been given to the regime in the past? >> every time the regime has the back to the wall somehow they are thrown a life vest and were able to basically catch a second wind. so for the nuclear deal. >> eric: that it was was to stop iran from building a nuclear bomb. critics charge it was has only a rich the regime to support terrorism and delays tehran's inevitable nuclear program. he has dedicated his life to opposing the regime and its extremism. you have spent decades fighting this. one would think that you would be pessimistic, that you would not have hope. but i hear you optimistic and
2:12 pm
you have hope. >> i always have hope because it is the nature of humans. there is one common point in every person anywhere on the planet regardless of the nationality, religion or ethnicity. it is obvious factors, one is freedom and the ability to speak your mind and believe in what you want. the other one is an opportunity to participate in whatever system that is governing your country. last but certainly not least, dignity. human dignity. when they deprive you as a human being for any of these, will you give up and not stand up and fight? it's a historical conclusion that this kind of regime simply cannot survive. it is just a matter of time. the only question is how soon and at what cost? >> eric: do you feel in your
2:13 pm
heart that one day this regime will fall? >> absolutely. there's no question about it. >> eric: the u.s. policy at the time created conditions that led to the islamic revolution. the prince said that in this day and age a secular state can be established. he says he has faith in the young iranians who are connected to social media and the internet. in a letter to president trump he asked for americans help same quote support the brave people of iran in their quest for justice. by the way, the iranian presidential election will be held there next friday. the princess its results would not change the regime's behavi behavior. >> arthel: a fox news alert as authority say an inmate being treated at a hospital outside chicago is holding an employee hostage after taking a gun from a correctional officer. the county sheriff's office and

2:19 pm
"better hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press" this as trumps transition to the white house. new york times reports that comey declined trump's request that he pledged him his loyalty. president trump denies that. in an interview airing tonight on justice with judge janine, he is saying that he sees no problem with the question. >> do suggest that the question that apparently the new york times is selling, that u.s. comey whether not you had to his loyalty was possibly inappropriate? >> i read that article. i don't think it's an appropriate. >> to address a question? >> no, neu didn't. but i don't think it would be a bad question to ask it. loyal to the country, loyalty to the united states is important. it depends on how you define loyalty. >> arthel: joining me now is katie, the national secured a reporter for the hill. and you for being here. >> it's good to be here.
2:20 pm
>> arthel: you have been following this. as you have been charting this course are your close reporting of fbi comey and the russian hearings, did you see this coming? >> the dismissal? i think that came as a shock to a lot of people, including lawmakers on relevant committees on capitol hill. senator dianne feinstein, ranking member of the senate judiciary committee found out about 5:30 p.m., about 15 minutes before the announcement was made. this came as a shock to almost everybody and has really roiled washington. there's a lot of feeling that there is some unreality still lingering in d.c. >> arthel: what about reaction from inside the fbi, as well as other intelligence agencies? >> i think the reaction based on what i'm here for my sources have been not great. there's a lot of dissatisfaction among bureau employees with how this was handled.
2:21 pm
comey was not in d.c. when the news came down. the president reportedly had a manila envelope delivered to his office, but comey was across the country talking to fbi employees and reportedly found out when news was broadcasting it. i think there's some dissatisfaction in some sense of, i guess betrayal is the word i would use within the bureau. they saw that is not a great way to dismiss someone who is very well-liked within the barrel. he was very popular and trusted. even by those who perhaps did not agree with the handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. >> arthel: then director fbi comey was in l.a. at the time of his firing, learning about it on the news with the rest of us. let's talk about this. any concerns you're finding in your porting regarding national security in this process question from the speculation as to the reason for firing
2:22 pm
mr. comey to any potential concerns surrounding partial replacement for comey? >> one of the biggest concerns both within the bureau and capitol hill is, who are they going to put in this position to replace comey. is it going to be someone who is able to lead an independent fbi. one of the biggest concerns are hearing among democrats and republicans is the timing of his dismissal. obviously that coincide with the ongoing investigation with russian interference in the election. you will see pushback both from within the bureau and on the hill if president trump chooses someone who is seen in any way as political. >> arthel: these events have been taking place at a dizzying speed. what needs to happen in short order to reaffirm or restore the trust and the american people that the top-tier of our
2:23 pm
judicial and law enforcement is not in jeopardy? in terms of the political prejudice you just mentioned. >> i think a lot of that will depend on who the candidate is. if u.s. democrats they're going to want a public accounting of how this went down. you are seeing a lot of pressure to get james comey to speak. he declined an invitation to come before the senate intelligence committee behind closed doors. reportedly because he has some interest doors open to testifying publicly. that is a big question. what is he going to have to say about how this went down. this is a director who has not shied away from speaking publicly if he believes it's in the public interest or the interest of the bureau.
2:24 pm
so, i think there's quite a bit of anticipation to see whether or not he will either come to the hill, testify before a committee in an open session or whether he will come to the media or stay silent. >> arthel: you talk about anticipation, there's anticipation on the part of the american people as the new fbi director is seated. there will be people looking at it from the side of the democrats, going are they just gonna try to block just for the purpose a political, potential political control if you will. so, how can people trust either side, both sides that they are not playing a game with them? >> that is one of the biggest concerns that we have watched across washington over the last few months. the concern that partisanship has overtaken the process. there's a legitimate concern with that. with this particular issue one of the things interesting to track is where republicans are coming on this issue. some republicans in the wake of
2:25 pm
the dismissal were vocal that we don't think he should have been fired and are disturbed by the timing of this. one of the things to watch on capitol hill going forward is going to be how many republicans side with democrats that there is a need for an independent investigation. something outside the barrel investigation into the russian interference. whether that means putting pressure on the deputy to appoint a special prosecutor or whether that means legislation doing an independent commission. we saw a second sign onto the house. that is the next big question. >> arthel: and how long will it take is another one. we have to leave it there. thank you for joining us. in the meantime, you can see the rest of judge janine's interview with president trump.
2:26 pm
that's happening tonight at 9:0. >> eric: the east coast is facing a rainsoaked we can. that means mother's day, tomorrow you'll have to have it indoors. the major rain storm that swept across the country this week has been gaining strength in the atlantic. flooding areas from virginia through new england. i guess we have to put plastic over the flowers. you have to remember to get the flowers a. >> you're taking care of the most important part there. we are talking about a good amount of rainfall along the east coast beginning today. it will be running through out the rest of the weekend. areas where we have seen rain so far along the georgia coast and the charleston area. it's looking further to the north as we continue through saturday. the heavier rain showers is

>> eric: president trump told judge janine and an interview that he says there's no need for special prosecutor to take over the russian probe. he said a separate investigation now going in congress by four separate committees. the firing of fbi director, james comey has sparked a united push for capitol hill democrats. they have renewed their call for special counsel to be named into the russia and trump campaign probes. republicans who control both chambers of congress are resisting that. according to the washington poll now, only 11 republicans on board. among them, colorado's representative but mike coffman, california's darrell isis, and senators john mccain and lindsey graham. our next guest is brad sherman, a member of the house department of affairs committee. >> what you think a special prosecutor is needed? >> i call for special prosecutor in early january and unfortunately loretta lynch rejected a call. right now, the country needs a

credible answer. to the trump campaign colluded with the kremlin. i don't think that answer will be credible unless you have an independent, nonpolitical investigation. >> eric: why is that? you do not have faith in the senate intelligence committee for example? the fbi, the doj, in fact rosenstein said one visit needed. andrew mccabe who is held in high regard he thinks if you can do it alone. >> will, you have to do it and you have to sell the american people on having done it in in a political way. the fact is, comey met with president trump seeking to hold onto his job and could be fired at any time by the president. the new director of the fbi will be in a similar circumstance. i think you need to take it outside of congress where the committee has a majority republican membership,
2:38 pm
republican chair. you do not want one parties politicians to be responsible for the investigation. >> eric: what about richard burr for example? is held in high regard he might be taken offense into satan a politician might skew an investigation. he said they will have a straight shooter. they will do it right. what's your answer to that? >> if you are in congress and in the senate, your politician, as am i. we tend to divide herself by party. i have tremendous respect for the credibility and integrity of so many of my colleagues, getting richard burr. but, the rest of the country is just going to see him as a republican senator. in addition, the intelligence committee and all of the committees in congress are policy oriented committees. yes, we investigate things but for the purpose of ascertaining policy. investigating here whether there was a conspiracy between trump and the kremlin to steal dnc
2:39 pm
e-mails, that is not something you expect a congressional committee to conclude. you expect that to be handled by the department of justice, in this case by an independent part of the department of justice. >> eric: the officials and intelligent officials have said so far there's no evidence of collusion. they don't have evidence of that. you mention the politician. you, among them, we had faith, remember back to north carolina senator howard baker. remember we sat around the television. >> i remember that. but that faith is much lower now than it was 20 and 30 years ago. >> eric: what's the difference if we had faith back then and where glued to the tv's till now? >> this is a much more partisan country than what we had 30 years ago. this is a much more divided country. this is a much more skeptical country.

and has that type of power usually in terrorism cases to look into it. i want to read what the wall street journal says about it. it says "federal investigators are examining whether russian investments in any of mr. trump's properties or business ventures can be traced back to russian government sources including russian officials who might own banks that were lending money to mr. trump. the senate intelligent panels request was made because investigators led them to inquire about mr. trump's business ties" the president said this was a false narrative. the family denies this. they have a letter from the law firm claiming there's no rush investments. what is going on here? >> as i understand the letter from the law from that was just a review of trumps personal tax return. you have to look at the financial statement tax returns of the literally hundreds of llcs and other business entities at the trump family controls. your questions can be not only were there loans from russian banks, but were there investments from russians. and rush it's hard to regarded a

side effects. we have a bunch of different types of medicine. the big ticket item they have to look at the warning and remember, when you get a drug any have to be aware that you have to report the small side effects because it could have important problems. right now, the databases need to get bigger and better. >> arthel: we'll be right back. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements.
2:52 pm
taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. we can't stay here! why? terrible toilet paper! i'll never get clean! way ahead of you. charmin ultra strong. it cleans better. it's four times stronger... ...and you can use less. enjoy the go with charmin.

>> eric: more now north korea. they testfired another ballistic missile. that according to south korean officials. this occurred early sunday morning hours there before dawn. the missile going off in the north providence. not many details at the moment of whether this what kind of missile it was or whether it was successfully launched or if it blew up seconds after it went off. it's the latest publication by the regime of kim jung-un. remember the first launch that failed just seconds after takeoff. some think maybe the u.s. had something to do with that. japan said it is strongly protesting the latest launch as a violation of un resolutions. there's no comment from the white house and will bring that u.s. and as we get it. in the next hour we will interview lieutenant general richard. the former air force assistant
2:56 pm
vice chief of staff. he knows all about north korea from his experience in what we could do to deter the regime of kim jung-un. we'll stay in the story during the next hour. >> arthel: i'm looking for to the general's remarks. next hour, fedex is working to recover after being caught up in a massive cyber attack. the new ransom where striking thousands of computers around the world. also, president trump given his first commencement speech in virginia. his words of advice to the grads is ahead at the top of the hour. stay with us.

>> arthel: north korea appears to have fired another ballistic missile. this is according to south korean officials. this in the early sunday morning hours there before dawn from the north province. very few details are available to us at this moment such as the type of missile or whether the launch was successful. we have been reporting this at the very latest provocation by the regime of kim jung-un. the last launch failed, said
3:01 pm
u.s. officials after liftoff. japan said it is strongly protesting the latest launch and calling this a violation of un resolution. so far, there has not been any public reaction from the white house as of you. by the way, later this hour will be speaking with lieutenant general richard newton, he is the assistant vice chief of staff and he'll talk about the latest happening in the korean peninsula later in the show. it will be fascinating to hear his remarks. meanwhile,. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> arthel: this is all taken place with the help wanted sign. the agency in need of a new director. the applicants have been filing in. the justice department interviewing at least half a dozen candidates today. this, in search of the successor of the fired fbi director, james comey.
3:02 pm
a busy afternoon. welcome to a new hour inside of the news quarters. >> eric: hello. i am eric shawn. the trump administration is looking to move on this big appointment. president trump assigned that he could name mr. comey's replacement as early as friday. that happens to be the day the president has overseas starting with israel and saudi arabia for his first foreign trip as president. >> allison barber has the latest from the justice department in washington where there holding the job interviews. i understand the list gets longer in terms of who is showing up. >> it does. we started this morning expecting for people to be interviewed. it seems the list has grown to seven, moments ago sources are telling us there has been another addition, fran townsend.
3:03 pm
she served as a george w bush's homeland security advisor. the attorney general and deputy attorney general have interviewed six candidates at the department of justice. they are, acting fbi director, andrew mccabe and michael garcia a judge from new york. sitting texas john cornyn, and special agent adam lee. and judge henry hudson. there say no, and as they walkway from the building or walk inside. they tell fox news the administration is considering a dozen candidates to replace the fired fbi director, james comey. president trump said they could decide as early as next week. one. >> almost all of them are well-rounded. they have been vetted over their lifetime. they are very well-known, highly respected.
3:04 pm
>> the fbi agents association which represents many active and retired members of the fbi endorsed representative mike rogers, he was previously the chairman of the house intelligence committee. they say he is the right guy for this job. in part, they say because he was in the fbi before he served office. he served in the fbi until about 1995. >> arthel: thank you. >> eric: north korea appears to have done it again. fired another vessel. officials say they believe it was a ballistic missile. joining us is gordon chang who often comments on the situation. he is the author of nuclear showdown. first, why do you think they fired this today? >> i think what they were doing was essentially trying to intimidate the new president of south korea. he wants to establish dialogue with the north and often times
3:05 pm
the north will try to give the south koreans a hard time in order to give them incentive to start talking. we also know the trump administration wants to talk to kim jung-un. this gives everybody a reason to sit down and try to cool off matters. therefore, i think it's an attempt to start dialogue. >> eric: every time in all of branches handed out, 1994 the oil for food treaty with president clinton, when president george w. bush took them off the state-sponsored terrorism, doesn't seem to work. it backfires. the new president of south korea's more liberal and is reaching out with a hand to reach out to north korea and kim jung-un, kim jung-un slaps it down by another provocative action. >> i agree with you. i think now is not the time to start negotiations with north korea. the only time you do that is when north koreans realize they
3:06 pm
have no choice but to give up their nukes and missiles. >> eric: how do we do that? will it ever be achieved? >> i think we can do it if we're political will. first of all, we need to have sanctions on north korea which are much tougher than today. as they say, the sanctions of the north are meant to bring north korea to its senses not its knees. north korea is not bringing to the senses so we need to bring them to their knees. the other thing, if china doesn't help us, so far they've helped a little bit but not enough, if they ultimately decide not to help us, then we need to start sanctioning china for its transfer ballistic missile technology to north korea. also components a material to the nuclear weapons program. we have to stop the trade. if we can show beijing that we're political will, then we can actually get them to a better place. until we do that, i don't think the chinese are going to be the cooperative.
3:07 pm
>> arthel: we were just showing pictures of the chinese president with president trump just weeks ago. it appeared that everybody walked away feeling whatever the discussions were between the two leaders that china finally appeared to want to get on board to put more pressure on north korea. it appears that if it did happen, has not worked. we just said you have the new leader of the south, south korea moon as well as president trump wanting to talk to kim jung-un. here's the point. we have the leaders wanting to talk to them, so what is the next move? is it a communication between president trump in china saying what happened? why is this guy doing it now? what did you tell him? why wasn't he listening? what's the next move and how do you handle him.
3:08 pm
>> there to next moves. first of all, think president trump needs to sit down with a new south korean president. i think that we basi basically d to get the north and south korea on board. that will be very difficult because the south korean president believes in the soun sunshine policy which is unconditional aid to north korea to bring them around. they tried that before starting in 1998, they china for a decade and it did not work. we have a long way to go to get south korea on our side. the second thing is with the chinese, it's either now or never. now they disarm north korea where we are going to do it ourselves as president trump said. that's a very difficult position, nonetheless north korea is exceedingly dangerous. i think the president has no choice but to take extraordinary measure. >> arthel: should president trump have a conversation with the new leader of south korea?
3:09 pm
>> absolutely. and president trump and to his credit invited the south korean president to the white house. he has said he will come. there will be a discussion and it will be a very contentious one. the south korean president has a position that's inconsistent with ours. he wants to give a to the north. but we tried to do a strangle the north so they cannot build nukes and missiles. there has to be some sort of compromise i suppose. those two positions are 180 degrees apart. also south korea wants to get rid of the high-altitude defense system that was recently installed and south korea. we wanted there, he doesn't want it there. on something like that, either one side or the other is going to win. >> eric: the thad system has been to play successfully. it is there to protect soul only 30 miles from the dmz. finally, what you predict? how do you think it will play out in the coming months? >> with south korea going in the wrong direction, it's extremely difficult how to predict how far
3:10 pm
south korea will take its views. if it were up to south korea their policies will be completely inconsistent. i don't know if trump of the united states can bring him around. >> eric: gordon chang, the top analyst of north korea and kim jung-un in the part of the world. , we thank you. it's unpredictable, dangerous, and you cannot get in the mind of kim jung-un as he tries to play this potentially dangerous chess game. >> arthel: very dangerous. the national security council same president trump has been briefed on the reported north korean missile launch. mr. trump, today as we know, he is delivering his first commencement speech at liberty university of virginia. he is using the occasion to reflect on his presidency thus far. caroline is live at the white house with details. what more can you tell us?
3:11 pm
>> reporter: adding to that, mry his national security team. we're hoping to get more tonight as they find out more information about this launch. was it a ballistic missile as it appears to been? how long did it go up in the air? was it a success? how much of a threat is this to the united states? more details on that. before this, it was a light day for the president, going to liberty university in addressing graduating seniors. one of his big applause line was a smack down to the d.c. establishment where he told the crowd, in america we don't worship government, we worship god. 50000 people packed into the stadium to hear the 30 minute address. some graduates were the make america great again hat with their gown. university president says he cannot think of another president who has done so much for the faith community in the first 120 days.
3:12 pm
mr. trump said nothing worth doing ever came easy and no one needs a lecture from washington on how to lead our lives. >> the fact is, no one has ever achieved anything significant without a course of critics standing on the sidelines explaining why it can't be done. nothing is easier more pathetic than being a critic. they are people who cannot get the job done, but the future belongs to the dreamers, not to the critics. the future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say because they truly believe in their vision. >> reporter: that is last we heard from mr. trump. earlier today at liberty university were hoping to get more information from the white house tonight about the north korean missile launch. back to. >> arthel: we will be tracking a threat the evening and tomorrow.
3:13 pm
thank you so much. >> eric: president trump it is known in real estate is a big deal maker. sitting down with it judge it janine he talk candidly about his democratic opposition in the political arena. he acknowledged how difficult it is. he says in washington it's difficult to reach across the aisle. >> will you be able to work with schumer after all the horrible things he said? >> it's tough to work with him. i'm surprised, and known him for a long time. he has gone very far left. he doesn't good control of his party, he's not a good leader. i think it will be tough for me to work with them. we'll see. hopefully what will happen is an 18 we will elect some republican senators because will have a margin of two, we will elect some more republicans and be able to do it without having to go through that situation was schumer. honestly, they just want to stop things, they want to clog up the wheels. we can't let that happen. >> eric: that was one of the many views of the president.
3:14 pm
you can catch the whole thing, just under three hours from now. it will be aired at 9:00 p.m. eastern. you can see it at justice with judge it janine, right here on the fox news channel. >> arthel: a computer using around the world trying to protect their pcs. this is after a major cyber attack brought dozens of countries. the victims include fedex in the u.s., hospitals in the u.k., and russia's foreign ministry. the ransom ware appears to exploit a vulnerability in microsoft windows that was identified by the u.s. national security agency and later leaked to the internet. brian is an art new york city newsroom following the story. what can you tell us. >> this appears to be the largest cyber attack of its kind in history. unprecedented. cyber security experts like at ibm are working overtime to restore data, assess damage and shore up defenses. no one has claimed responsibility for friday's attack.
3:15 pm
experts believe it was unlikely from the government. >> one of the things we need to ground yourselves and his security professionals, although we often hear about the nationstate of hacks because they become sensationalize, the reality is, 80% of what were dealing with on a day-to-day basis is organized criminal gangs. this is, in fact one of the largest illegal economies of the world. >> experts are now thinking a savvy 22-year-old britain -based researcher for finding the viruses so call, kill switch, stopping the spread of the attack before did more damage in the u.s. the anonymous researcher tweeting quote, i will confess that i was unaware registering the domain would stop the malware until after i registered it. so initially it was accidental. the ransom ware appears to explode a vulnerability in microsoft windows that was reportedly identified by the u.s. national security agency
3:16 pm
later leaked to the internet. ransom ware holes the computers data hostage until the user pays a ransom. this is a screenshot about what it does and what it looks like at a surgery center in northern england on friday. the attack is alarming because of the size and speed hitting nearly 100 countries including the u.s., u.k., india, china, and russia. it affected many industries from fedex in the u.s., to the russian interior ministry, to british hospitals and medical centers. many hospitals forced to cancel or delete routine procedures like x-rays and vital procedures like cancer treatments. the department of homeland security is urging all americans to backup your data and download the windows security update. also be careful a spam e-mail. this is how the ransom market since your computer. >> thank you very much. meanwhile, working in word of what appears to be another provocation, north korea testing and launching what is believed to be a ballistic missile.
3:17 pm
this, as the rogue regime indicates it was speak to the trump administration underwater calls quote the right conditions. what that might entail. >> eric: coming out we will go deeply into who could potentially succeed james comey as head of the fbi. and how will the bureau bounce back? what some insiders are calling a blow to morale. >> i have the highest respect for him and his integrity. he has been the greatest privilege and honor of my professional life to work with him.

>> eric: the justice department interviewing at least six candidates for the job of fbi director. in the growing fallout of the firing of james comey has continued. the white house claims mr. comey has lost the confidence of the rank-and-file and andrew mccabe and others say otherwise. >> we are a large organization, 36500 people across this country and glow. we have a diversity of opinions about many things.
3:22 pm
i can confidently tell you that the majority, the vast majority of fbi employees enjoyed a deep a positive connection with director comey. >> eric: mr. mccabe is one of the potential candidates, perhaps a leading one. we're told he may have been interviewed today but we don't have a confirmation of that. danny is a former fbi deputy assistant director and commander of the hostage rescue team with decades of experience. it's good to see you. >> it's good to see you too. >> eric: you have two former judges and two former agents, what qualifications would you like to see most, what you think is most needed right now the new fbi director? >> no doubt about that. it is independence. we need a director that is a political, has no political ambitions, no political aspirations that will come in
3:23 pm
and stand up to the fbi. if there is one danger the fbi faces its political interference, generally by the department of justice. i think it's time we have an fbi agent who is entrenched in the fbi's philosophy and dedication to the constitution. i think it might be time the fbi is the finest investigation in the world. there's no doubt about that. why not pick somebody who made it that good. it's time to look at an fbi agent to run the organization. >> eric: you have two analysts. adam lee who is an agent and andrew mccabe. he apparently is very well thought of within the bureau. helped lead the boston bombing marathon investigation. and he stood up to the senators. he has been out there with the flag and the banner of the federal bureau of investigation talking about its integrity, its credibility in his view. what you think about him? >> i think he's great. he is really well-qualified to run a major investigation like that. the boston marathon bombing,
3:24 pm
that's a huge job. it's a good feather in his cap that he did that. i think he's a good candidate. there's other good candidates in the fbi. >> could you like? >> i will go with andrew. i think he's the right guy, he's been up the chain of command and knows what it's like to be at the top and that's hard. to be at the top of the food chain is not easy. you have to deal with a lot of competing factors. you have to deal congress and the attorney general which is probably the hardest thing. i think he would be a good director. i was really support that appointment. >> eric: as a formal federal prosecutor rc is and advisor to george w. bush. john cornyn said he likes be in in the senate. troy gaudi would be political. ray kelly, the great former new york city police commissioner. but you still think somebody who has experience and trust of the
3:25 pm
troops so to speak. >> i think so. i know ray kelly. he's a tough guy. you have to be a tough guy to beat the director. trey gaudi, i think he would be spit and out of the -- i think were ready for the fbi to have their own director. somebody who has been through the culture and trials and tribulations of being an fbi agent. it's time we appointed one of them to be head of the agency. >> eric: "washington journal" has an editorial today. although the accusations against the president and the reasoning behind the controversial firing. it says this "if mr. trump hope to cover something up, second the fbi director is the wrong way to do it. every g-man with a mediocre lead will leak if he thinks politicians are trying to sit on evidence. the next fbi director will be watched like a russian agent for any hint of political favoritism. he needs to ace the fbi pick now to neutralize the democratic
3:26 pm
opposition and reassure bureau agents on the case" do you think this should be up in front? someone who the rank-and-file could issue a sigh of relief and people could say this is not a political guy, it will push against the white house. and others. >> i think it does. i vote and a member of a party. i don't care about politics. i did the iran-contra investigation on president reagan voted for him. i went after him like it was my job. i think that's what you'll find. they want to serve the american public and follow the constitution. they like to find out what is going on. they want to find the truth. they don't care about politics, they don't want any interference
3:27 pm
and someone who will stand up to a guy we need you see that in the candidates we have right now. >> do you think president trump is up to making that appointment? >> i hope he is. i know he is a big fan of the fbi. i've actually done and i think he loves the fbi. he wants to keep it as independent as possible. i'm looking forward to his appointment it will be good for the beer on the country they will make a decision by friday so the interviews would be called yet. >> i don't i have plenty of work to do. i would xerox papers for him. >> eric: thank you very much. thank you for your service to our country and the fbi.
3:28 pm
>> thank you. i was honored. >> arthel: we can now confirm that president trump has been briefed on the breaking news out of the korean peninsula. as the pentagon confirming to fox news that they have defied the international community again apparently a that travel 435 -- plus new fallout over president trumps firing of former fbi chief, james comey. how that move an investigation into russia's interference in the 2016 election. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

3:34 pm
when we had witnesses we needed to talk to we needed to make sure we were not stepping on top of anything with an investigation. >> that senate richard burr. he's talking about the russian meddling and how it could overlap with the justice department's probe. those concerns arriving after president trump firing of fbi director, james comey and the president's admission that those investigations crossed his mind while making that decision. let's bring a former michigan congressman a form and chairman of the house intelligence committee, pete. >> it's good to be with you. >> arthel: let's start here. i want to ask you, do you have any concerns about the details as we know them as of now about the timing of firing of the comey? the mismatched explanations that followed from the president and his administration, including
3:35 pm
the vice president? >> i don't have concerns about that. the concern i have is that it took so long. he should've been terminated in july of 2016. after the election would've been a great time for president obama to clean the slate, whether it had been a president trump or president clinton, none of that happen. the president gave director comey a chance to see how his performance would be. as he said, the testimony from director comey last week put it over the edge. he made the call and i think you made the right call. there is may be some confusion within the white house about that. i don't have concern about it. it was the right decision. >> arthel: all move on for now and in a five-time follow-up. regarding the selection of the new fbi director and the future of the hearings on russia, should the american people have complete confidence that neither process will be polluted by
3:36 pm
politics? >> i don't know. you have to recognize that acidity of the hearings in the house and senate you are going into a political panel. there politicians up for election in two years or six years. there will be politics. i'm encouraged by the director. >> arthel: will be debilitating? >> it will be debilitating. encourage was going on in the senate with the leadership between senators worn emperor. they're working together. they are slightly different messages but fairly consistent that they want to run their investigation in a bipartisan way. they will work hard to make that happen. the house had a couple of missteps as they begin their process. they seem to have overcome those. i'm confident they will work through this and issue reports that the american people can have confidence in. >> arthel: do you think there's something more behind mr. comey
3:37 pm
declining to show up for the senate until hearing next week? is there anything more than mr. comey wanting to publicly provide details as he knows them? >> i would not read too much into it. i think he is stepping back. it was a surprise to him. he is going to the process now determining exactly how he will respond to it. he will take his time and doing it. he will pick his time in his place where he will come out and give a more in-depth side of his story. i think going into a closed hearing, what happens in the closed hearings is that you lose total control if you are the witness as to what comes out of that hearing. that is all leaks at that point. i think he said if i'm going to go out to make a statement, i'm going to do it at a time and place where i can give my side of the story and i can give it
3:38 pm
very clearly. >> arthel: so you agree with mrs point to be on record publicly for whatever he is going to submit. let's go here, it's illegal for the president to fire the fbi director. is it okay to tweet what could be interpreted as threats to keep comey from talking about the details and the tick-tock, the timeline leading up to his firing? >> it's a tweet. it's public. if you are going to put threaten someone, you are not going to do it through a tweet or something like that. you're going to try to find an indirect method to get your message to whoever you are trying to intimidate. try to threaten somebody through tweeting or through social media is probably exactly the worst method to deliver a threat. >> arthel: okay. kind of like somebody hiding in plain sight.

>> eric: and kim jung-un'slates. another missile launch. it's been confirmed that north korea has defied the international community launching a ballistic missile hours ago. the pentagon has not confirmed on what type of missile that was. we are told president trump has been briefed on the test by the national security team. the missile traveled 435 miles.
3:44 pm
if that is confirmed it could mean a successful test for his missile program after a series of recent failures. what does this mean? general richard -- former general richard newton is joining us. >> it's good to be with you again. >> eric: what are your sources saying and was this a successful test? they've had failures recently. >> the sources i've tapped into are still trying to do assessment on whether the test was successful or not. though sources indicate that presumably the test they anticipated could have been of the nk 17 which is an intermediate range ballistic missile. this was the sixth tested this year. at least on my count, for 2017. the most recent one on april 20, if you recall it exploded a few minutes after launch. this is again, another
3:45 pm
indication that north koreans are being very aggressive with her ballistic missile testing. >> eric: either in the program gordon chang, analyst, said it was a message to the south korean president to is more liberal and reaching out to and does not like the fact that we put dad in south korea. that could be a change in look at the reaction he gets. he doesn't get a welcome and hello and opened the door. he gets a missile. >> you have a more liberal president elected and president moon is in office. he wants to engage in north korea and that is going to be something different than the last two presidential administrations in south korea. it's not a very good welcome sign for the president particularly after the fat in south korea to defend south korea and in light of what happened say, what happens if
3:46 pm
they kick the fat out, can they do that? >> are you referring to the south koreans? certainly that could be an option i suppose. the fact that we just went to that effort to make it operational and you have very strong u.s. south korean relationships along the line of national security, regardless if you have a conservative president. what president moon would be facing is what messaging is that to china, he would be placating the chinese if he decided to take that that system out of south korea. again, on the heels of the most recent test, i don't think it would be a good move. >> eric: something else going on, new exercises. we had 20000 troops in south korea. they have u.s. joint, japan and military exercises. could that have factored into
3:47 pm
kim jung-un's thinking that that's a message to us as they usually are? >> you go through the throes of provocations with her u.s., south korea or other joint exercises going on. let's be very clear, the supreme leader knows nothing other than strength and power. i think it's critical the united states certainly with its allied relationship with south korea, japan and other allies and friends in the region, we democrademonstrate the strengthd capability. we have a new leadership team with president trump a national security leaders along with secretary mattis, tillerson and others. we need to make sure we demonstrate the strong political will both in the nation and across america that we will continue to be strong. we will continue to protect
3:48 pm
"u.su.s.national security intert wherever they may be around the globe. particularly in the asian pacific and in the korean peninsula. >> do you think that mr. is doing that successfully now? then you have kim jung-un threatening a sea of fire. he pokes up videos targeting and blowing up washington. >> with the supreme leader, there's so many unknown, unknowns. you have to be able to put all your national security capabilities at the table. it has to be regarding whether it's diplomatic, if it's economic and financial is chilly military. they go hand-in-hand. we want the military card to be played last. but that can support u.s. national security interest by showing strength. putting the carl vincent test there as they did last month and so forth. >> eric: there was dispute over that. it went down into indonesia. what should we do? how do you think the white house
3:49 pm
should react to this test? might be brought by the u.s. ambassador, nikki haley to the security counsel on monday as a potential protest. what's our step right now to show kim jung-un to stop. >> there's multiple steps. number one, we need to make sure that we set expectations. if we entertain the notion of getting to negotiating her bargaining table we have to set expectations and those have failed including un resolutions. that's a glass half-empty approach. should we decide to move forward on negotiations are demonstrating u.s. power in this area we have to make sure that we rally our friends and allies, that we are able to demonstrate capabilities we have such as bringing in a call vincent and others. we conduct joint exercises and follow-up. we make sure the supreme leader understands the u.s. does have military capability but we also have the political will. we have the u.s. national security team now in place by
3:50 pm
president trump, who will demonstrate these capabilities and follow-up. if we do enter into negotiations as i think could be a byproduct at some point along with our efforts today, that we put certain conditions on the table. number one, release american prisoners. make sure he also does not do any other provocations in terms of statements a military exercises and he withdraws from missile ballistic testing and nuclear weapons testing. >> eric: were up against the clock, we get to anything about that. thank you for your insight. >> arthel: pope francis name into new saints to the catholic church. who they were and what happened to them 100 years ago that led to today's canonization mass. that'ser. fst up next 't findingf these germans in my tree. i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna.
