the walk home shorts and t-shirt. welcome to welcome in summer just like waiting to welcome in a day when there is not a explosive story. i wouldn't mind a day of calm that was not yesterday and certainly not this morning. steve: no kidding. big story today is president trump, according to the "the washington post" shared some highly classified information last week when he met in the oval office with the foreign minister and the ambassador to russia. apparently code word information from a u.s. ally was mentioned. according to the "the washington post," mr. trump discussed the isis threat using laptop computers on planes and seemed to be boasting, the paper says, that he had all sorts of inside information to the threat. of course, he dose have all the inside information. he was talking about every day he get that presidential daily briefing. ainsley: so yesterday the national security advisor h.r. mcmaster is the only person if you read that "the washington post" article he is the only person named as a source.

he came out of the white house and had a press conference yesterday and he is denying this. he sets the record straight. listen. >> the story that came out tonight as reported is false. the president and the foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries including threats to civil aviation. at no time, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed. and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. two other senior officials who were present, including the secretary of state remember the meeting the same way and have said so. they were on the record and accounts should outweigh those of sources. it did not happen. brian: president only discussed the common threats boldfaced. the secretary of state's meeting we have a broad range of disgust discussed. broad raping of threats and counter terrorism.

"new york times" today they said middle east country that gave us intelligence about an isis plot and that the president gave away the city to that plot. and the story in the "the washington post" has is that white house officials picked up the phone and called the nsa and cia and said listen we want to keep you up to date on what took place in the oval office. it looks as though that's where the message gets lost and, perhaps, somebody in those intelligence agencyst thought they could leak out this story to make the president look bad. and look as though he gave away top secret information. where no one alleges is actually illegal information. it might be a breech of espionage etiquette. steve: it was certainly classified. the president can do that it's within his legal authority. laura ingraham tweeted this out last night. white house source with direct knowledge just told me "the washington post" didn't talk to any u.s. official at meeting with lavrov. it's fake news. brian: i wouldn't say it's

fake news. steve: that's not the correct one to. any white house official at the meeting who confirmed their story. they talked to general mcmaster but he did not confirm it. in fact, he said it didn't happen. what's curious about this whole story and mr. mcmaster, general mcmaster mentioned the anonymous sources. as you mentioned, brian, after the meeting, senior white house official called the nsa and they called the cia and said hey, just want you to know this happened. that's probably where the leaks happened. nsa, cia. the "new york post," rather the "new york times," "the washington post, they both say that the information came from current and former administration officials. brian: they are feeling they will do some reverse forensics with the russians because they cannot be trust weed know that for sure around figure out how we got that information through a middle east country which name was not expod the middle eastern country who helped us out.

however, thhowever the city thet was hatched is the concern. how do we know that in the cia asked "the washington post not to publish the name of the city for national security. ainsley: talking about espionage etiquette, that's -- they are saying it didn't happen. general mcmaster was saying i was in the room. it didn't happen. even if it did, it's not illegal for the president to do this. but, the problem is, if it did happen, if they discussed this city, then if you have a relationship with another country, an ally and they are giving you this information, they don't give you permission to talk to the russians about it. because. brian: even our allies who weren't even privy to it. ainsley: you worry about what this means in the future with your allies. steve: makes it ier for russia to know who our allies are. although you have to figure they know who our allies are. brian: russia in the identity theft storm. why they were even invited unbelievable. vladimir putin asked rex tillerson hey lavrov is going to be in town can he drop by?

and that's why the wheels came off. bob corker, says obviously the administration is that downward spiral and they have to gig out a way to come to grips with all that is happening. steve: well, there is a lot happening. and "the washington post has been at the epicenter at a lot of these scoops regarding donald trump over the last year glen kessler the fact checker over there tweeted this out last night. aplow to the news room as the russia leak scoop breaks the hollywood access record for most readers per minute. meanwhile tucker carlson was talking about a little bit about activism and generallism and he had this to say. >> with trump, all bets are off. many journalists believe it's literally impossible to be unfair to donald trump or the people who work for him. extremism in the pursuit of trump is no vice. they have succumb to trump hatred that is so intense it has destroyed their judgment and in some cases affected their character. i see it all the time. where normal people see the president's flaws and they do

exist, they see crimes and conspiracies. the rest of us may complain that trump is undisciplined and impulsive, fair. they regard him as the single greatest threat to western civilization since atomic weapons. brian: that was tucker carlson yesterday. a bit of a push back. irving was trying to deny themselves the details. army general out there saying i was in the room and there was nothing that was expod. also the thing to keep in mind, too. donald trump didn't tweet out last night that shows discipline. let my guys handle it deanna powell handle it. they were there. they can walk it back. i just also think this russian thing deserved the access to be in the room. they have been untrustworthy along the way it could have been the photographer who-to-say something that they were told not to release information. ainsley: you have the "the washington post" cheering because they got so many hits on that story when it posted online. do you think it's because they are cheering because they are trying to take down the president or are they cheering because they broke a record?

and so many people are reading this story? and you look and what do you think, brian? >> what i think is the "the washington post" despises the president. they would do anyway. just my hunch. ainsley: stephen colbert and look at his ratings. the more he bashes the president the more his ratings go up. mainstream media is doing this. brian: you think a comedian would have different standard than a newspaper. steve: if you watched sean spicer yesterday you saw him get he a million questions from the assembled press there today would be a good day for a press conference by the president of the united states. the last time he had one i think it ran 17 hours. he answered everybody's questions. all those questions that were swirling pretty much died down. brian: little bit of a risk. today he meets withered within a which wil erdogan which is a little contention. tomorrow he leaves for a trip. steve: noble can present donald trump's side of the

story better than donald trump. if he has got an hour or two, nothing to do this afternoon, why not? ainsley: well, to hear from him would be great to set the record straight. it was great to hear from the general like you said. he has so much experience in the military. brian: well regarded. ainsley: trust borate. it's his own credibility. if he is saying it didn't happen. you have to believe him. brian: do you think the applause went up when the medvedev and obama when i win electric i will have a lot more freedom worthy of standing ovation. that was also very revealing. steve: i don't know that that got that much play. let us know what you thigh about this explosive headline from "the washington post. email us at friend @foxnews.com. tweet us or he he he at the. jillian: good tuesday morning. fox news alert.

here to react, fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. judge, let's start with the very beginning, if it's true, with the "the washington post" story is true and they stand behind it. >> right. steve: did the president break any rules. >> he may have broken rules about the manner of declassifying information but that's not a crime. under the law, the president can declassify anything. so can he take a top secret. this is called sap. select access procedure. it's the top of the top secret. he can declassify that. there may be political fallout for him declassifying it as we will find out today as the day progresses but there is no -- steve: there are no charges. >> correct. one would expect if he did do as "the washington post suggested he did, the russians are not going to acknowledge it. what do they say did he? they say in the midst of a conversation about serious concern over laptops on commercial flights being used

as bombs, the president either intentionally or inadvertently gave an indication as to the source of that. steve: he mentioned the town in syria. >> mentioned the town in syria from which the human intelligence came, meaning a spy. an american spy, a local spy, we don't know who. he said the information didn't come from american intelligence. it came from a foreign intelligence source, an ally of the united states. which apparently didn't want that information out there because it's their spy that's jeopardy died. that's "the washington post version. general mcmaster who says he was in the room said that that's not the way it wanted ha. he wasn't quite specific about what happened. but he denied. rather emphatically, that the president revealed any national security secret. what do we know? we know that somewhere along the line there is a leak to the "the washington post." it was either somebody in the oval office at the time. and that's a finite number of people. steve: deanna powell, master

or the russians. >> or someone in the intelligence community aware of the conversation through official channels, and wishing the president i will or wishing to membership him. sommanipulate him going back to surveying him before he was president. all the information they have. some personal about him. some raw intelligence data to reveal and conceal in an effort to manipulate him. this is another example of that. steve: i think "the washington post article did say former and current administration officials. we know the obama people were out to get this president. but if there are still members of this president's administration out to get him that's trouble. two. >> other points. "the washington post declined to reveal specifics. they could have done so legally. the allegation against the president is about as grave as anything in the modern era that he gave secrets to our

enemy. i think we need to know more about this. steve: it would be a great day for him to have a press conference. >> that would be wild. steve: that would be wild. judge, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. steve: calling for a special prosecutor for the russia investigation. the other one not this one. the independent prosecutor for bill clinton scandal says that's a bad idea. judge ken starr is going to join us just ahead. the youngest person to graduate from tcu. texas christian university. the 14-year-old says i'm just a normal kid. there he is right there. he is going to college in the fall. live. i ♪ working on a mystery. ♪ "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. we're the rivera family, and we will be with usaa for life.

>> the story that came out tonight as reported is false. >> the white house shutting down reports that president trump leaked classified information to russia. >> i was in the room. it didn't happen. >> i don't think there is a lot in here. this is a president slipping on a ban than that peal. >> denying the russian report that president trump leaked classified intel. >> jet explodes into flames killing everyone on board. private plane coming in for landing at teterboro airport in new jersey. >> north korean hacking group could leave behind that massive cyber attack crippling operations all around the globe. >> there is evidence on seth rich's laptop that connects him with wikileaks. shows him communicating with wikileaks before his death. >> the attacks on our police must end and they must end right now. >> brian: let's talk about the vanishing american adult. >> we want to teach our kids that the goal is not to be free from work but to be free

to find meaning in work. ♪ all fired up ♪ all fired up ♪ brian: nonstop information. the world is staring at the white house like never before. not just our show because so much intriguing information and intelligence seems to be coming out of the white house. ainsley: did the president talk about classified information when he was meeting with the russians? they're saying no. the white house had a press conference yesterday. brian: russians are saying no. ainsley: and white house saying no. steve: one of the guys who would know and this is a fox news alert on this tuesday morning. general h.r. mac master was one of the few americans in the room. it was powell, deputy there in that department. he, mr. tillerson, the president and the russians and mr. mcmasters said, you know what? "the washington post says, not true. watch. >>

>> the story that came out tonight as reported is false. the president and foreign minister reviewed a range of common threats to our two countries, including threats to civil aviation. at no time, at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed. and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known. go other senior officials who were present, including the secretary of state, remember the meeting the same way and have said. so they are on the record should outweigh those of anonymous sources. i was in the room it didn't happen. brian: "the washington post says they have revelations that the city was brought up where this evidently ice tis plot was being hatched and revealed to the russian foreign minister. they said that the cia or nsa asked him not to reveal that city because it would jeopardize the national security. so they didn't. the series of events seems to have gone like this.

something concerns enough for h.r. mac master to auto call the cia and alert the something should know. somehow it gets leaked out to the "the washington post" which goes to show threw are people in the intelligence community who will do anything to hurt this president. ainsley: there is no one inside the meeting that we know of who is talking to the post that says that this happened. i mean, have you general mcmaster actually quoting in that post article. he said this is not legit. it didn't happen inside the meeting. if it is talking it's a game of telephone. people in the meeting told someone this and that person might have leaked to the "the washington post." steve: i think brian is probably right. i think when the senior white house officials called the ci. >> and the nsa after the meeting and said by the way this came up, it's probably, and they say the post does that apparently it was current and former officials who spoke to the "the washington post." we know that members of the

obama administration from the get-go of this administration have been tout sandbag the president, but if there are still members of this current administration out to do the president harm, that's no good. laura ingraham was tweeting last night. "the washington post" didn't talk to any white house official at the meeting who confirmed their story. mcmaster they did quote, however he denied that the post story was accurate. ainsley: she is going to join us in the next hour. brian: would any other administration get this kind of scrutiny? if all of these things were coming out of the obama administration, the bush administration, would there be this kind of uproar or does it seem like the big target is on this president nonstop and most people say deanna powell and rex tillerson as competent as anybody. also, as the president gets set to meet with the turkish president today and on friday go on his first overseas trip, is there a push out there to hurt anymore? is there a push coming from

the intelligence community to diminish the president as much as possible before he goes overseas and more than likely the briefings he has got saudi arabia to israel and to belgium and of course the nato meeting, are they worried about him coming back and having the wind at his back? ainsley: if you want to know what happened in that meeting, charles krauthammer was talking about this. just listen to what he said. this is his theory about what happened in the meeting. >> i think it's like a three day story if it's true. because i don't think there is a lot in here. this is the president slipping on auto banana peel. if this happened, can you imagine the scene. lavrov and the president discussing aviation problems. the fact that we are now thinking of a ban on the bringing of these items on to airplanes from europe, our allies. the russians. it was an russian airplane incidentally that was blown up over the sinai. the russians are sensitive to laptops that explode in

airplanes. it happened to them. they would be listening. and i can see this as sort of the scenario that you imagine from "the washington post story. you see the president saying you know what our sources intel receive are telling us or somewhere else reaudit that they are working on this new kind of explosive. it could be as simple offer handeoffhanded as. that is that a hanging offense? is it a mistake? yes. it could be a problem in dealing with our ally in the future. i can't see it as being a permanent breech since it wasn't deliberate. brian: so charles krauthammer was asked to do some instant analysis last night. i'm sure he wouldn't take any of that back. keep in mind the thing that is so disturbing about the russians, when they first decided to put themselves into syria and de-conflict with them, whatever do you, these are our guys. these are rebels that we have screened and we would like it make sure that they are okay. the russians went ahead and started bombing them because we thought we could trust them

and we can't. that's why people are disturbed. ainsley: three minutes ago the president tweeted about this. steve: two tweets. i think we should wait a moment. and see if the next one comes up. okay, here is the first one. >> as president i wanted to share with russia at openly scheduled white house meeting which i have the absolute right to do facts pertaining dot dot dot. the next tweet has not come out. what we do know is powell deputy advisor to the president only discussed common threats. apparently what he did that the members of the intel community are up in arms about is that he revealed the name of a town. the name of a town in syria. by revealing that, because it was given to us by one of our intel partners, some other countries, we made it easier for russia to figure out hot partner is the ultimate thing though is did the president break any laws, criminal activity to do this? after all, it is classified

information. judge napolitano was with us 20 minutes ago and he says no laws broken. listen. >> well, he may have broken rules about the manner of declassifying information. but that's not a crime. under the law, the president can declassify anything. so he can take a top secret. this top secret is called s.a.p. select access procedure. it's the top of the top secret. he can declassify that there may be political fallout for him declassifying it. steve: sure. >> as we will find out today as i think the day progresses. steve: no criminal charges. >> correct. ainsley: even the "new york times" article said in this morning in like paragraph three or four says doesn't appear to be illegal that the president has the power to declassify almost anything. that's what the president is saying in this tweet i have the absolute right to do this. steve: dot dot dot. brian: i would hope that h.r. mcmaster or deanna powell or

rex tillerson look at his tweet before they answer. you don't want to make things more controversial by a tweet. steve: is he obviously tweeting. trying to get his side out. it would be great today. the president has a couple of holes in his schedule. mr. president, how about a press conference today. everybody has questions. you have the answer. nobody can present donald trump's side of the story better than president donald trump. brian: what if he has a press conference and all the reporters are busy. what if they need more notice? steve: one of those youtube questions. ainsley: call us this morning. put him on the air and he can talk to the american people. brian: if he remembers the president. steve: if you want to call in this morning, we will put you on the air. tell fox. go ahead. i think that used to be the number like it. triple 8 tell fox. brian: we would open up the phones. steve: those were the olden days. ainsley: we can't do that anymore. brian: we could. steve: a little dangerous. anyway, what do you think,

email us at foxnews.com. ainsley: we would love to hear. jillian: i will give you a break to see if he sent out another tweet. i'm sure that's what is he doing right now. let's start with a fox news alert. surveillance video capturing the terrifying moment a jet explodes into flames killing everyone on board. private plane coming in for landing will teterboro airport in new jersey when witnesses say it flipped upside down slamming into three buildings in the suburbs. the plane took off from philadelphia with just two people on board. more than two dozen students they were heading from philadelphia to washington, d.c. when a car lost control. clipped the bus sendin sending t veering off the road. a group of law enforcement officers from cadets to retired officers happened to be traveling behind the bus running to help the kids. one child and one teacher remain hospitalized. well, the search for the new

top boss at the fbi is gaining steam. about 10 candidates now in the running to replace former director james comey. a name that's no longer on that list congressman trey gowdy who took himself out of the race saying he is not the right person for the job. on thursday, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein will brief the senate on why he recommended james comey be fired. and we have a great story for you right now. a 91-year-old world war ii veteran finally receives his long overdue medals. joseph of rhode island presented with the good conduct medal and three other awards. he spent two years in the u.s. army air force but was eager to get home from the war and he left without collecting his medals. he plans to pass them on to his grandchildren. that is something that is so priceless for him to receive, to be able to pass them along to his grandchildren, that's just great. steve: part of the family history. ainsley: wonderful. thanks, jillian.

steve: bombshell new report of a serious death ''staff during the presidential campaign last year. was that young man, seth rich, talking to wikileaks. what a private investigator has just uncovered next live from washington. brian: video insane. soldier in a parachute. slams right into high voltage power lines. how this soldier miraculously survived. that story straight ahead. tech: when your windshield needs to be fixed... trust safelite autoglass. our exclusive trueseal technology means a strong, reliable bond. at safelite, we stand behind our work... because the ones you love, sit behind it.

steve: a fox news alert. "the washington post yesterday had a blockbuster story that president trump shared highly classified information with the russians. the russians have denied that. and so has the white house. ainsley: the president we told you tweeted. we read that first tweet with the dot dot dot he has since put a second tweet out, brian. brian: as president i want to share with russia at openly scheduled white house meeting which i have the absolute right to do facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. humanitarian reasons, plus, i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terrorism. ainsley: that's what charles krauthammer was talking about. probably talking about flight

safety because russia had the plane blow up over the sinai there are certain rules can you take on and off a plane when you are in certain countries coming into the u.s. he said he thought that is what it pertained to. brian: for eight month we were bringing up that the secretary of state had a private serve are with all this intelligence on it and then have you chelsea manning who gets out of prison after releasing all this devastating information anyone who comes down and says this is a light sentence you are crazy overreacting. hillary clinton everyone is overreacting. the president says something that h.r. mac master and teen deanna powell and rex tillerson said was not a big deal. and all of a sudden everyone is beside themselves as saying, you could say wow, i'm disturbed this was exposed. i wonder how it was done. we better stop. this but the way people are reacting as if the world is coming to a close because of what may or may not have been reported. steve: all we know "the washington post says they are standing by the story and the white house is playing word games. all right.

we will be back to that in a moment. first, we have another big story out of d.c. ainsley: another fox news alert. a huge bombshell in the murder of this dnc staff. steve: investigator now says seth rich was in contact with wikileaks before he was murdered. not only that but investigator says there could be a coverup. brian: wow, griff jenkins is in washington with the breaking details. griff, how does this relate to what we experienced last summer? >> let me take you back. there is new evidence as you mentioned suggesting that this former dnc staff was in communications with wikileaks. but if you go back to july last summer, here in the nation's capital, in a trendy northwest neighborhood, seth rich was shot and killed on the way home from a bar. police initially calling it a botched robbery. but the investigation remains open. now, former d.c. homicide detective and fox news contributor rod wheeler, who has been conducting a parallel investigation at the request of the rich family, says evidence on rich's laptop shows he was talking to

wikileaks. i just spoke with rod, guys, moments ago he says number one, a law enforcement source inside the investigation told him personally that he saw emails on a computer between rich and wikileaks contact. and he also says, number two, that the source told rod he was instructed not to pursue the murder investigation 48 hours after rich's death. here is what wheeler told local fox 5 saying it's a coverup. >> i want to find out who caused that man's death so we can put them behind bars. but if there is somebody in politics. if there is somebody in government, whether it's in the mayor's office or anywhere else in this city that's involved. you better believe they are going to be dragged in and questioned. >> i have also spoken with the police this morning. they are not confirming or commenting on this story at the moment. wheeler also says despite the evidence coming forward that he has uncovered, the family is still not convinced that it was more than a botched robbery. it's worth noting at the time of the robbery that or the

death that rich's wallet was not taken. did he not die on the scene. he died later at the hospital. now wheeler says he wants to seat police cameras in case rich may have told police investigators anything relative to this story which is clearly developing, guys. steve: that's right. if they still have the video. thank you very much. for a long time on the internet and elsewhere. he has been rumored to have been the one who gave wikileaks the dnc emails. so, if that is true, and we don't know yet, it looks like russia didn't give to wikileaks. seth rich, perhaps. brian: yeah. we will see it digitally. we have ways to do that. steve: they have got his computer. we will see. ainsley: coming up next on the rundown. a teenager dies of a caffeine overdose. so how much is too much? dr. mendez is here with a warning for every parent. come on, in doc. break through your allergies. try new flonase sensimist allergy relief

instead of allergy pills. it delivers a gentle mist experience to help block six key inflammatory substances. most allergy pills only block one. new flonase sensimist changes everything.

collapsed in his high school class shortly after drinking a lethal combo. here with warnings that every parent need to know is dr. mendez. orthopedic surgeon with new york orthopedics. thank you so much, dr. mendez for being here. it's very scary. it happened close to home richland county where i grew up. he had these three drinks and he died. >> it's a terrible story. really sad. i think we need to be vigilant and realize energy drinks this is the x factor is the energy drink. we know what the lethal dose of caffeine is for a home brewed coffee for the average adult it's about 100 cups of coffee. ainsley: you could have 100 cups one sitting having coffee at home. >> over 50% of the population. wide variety of caffeine. red bull has 80 milligrams of caffeine. some of other energy drinks red line can have up to 500. seven times as much. additionally they put in other stimulants things like a seed

from the brazillian rain forest which has twice the content of caffeine as a coffee bean. things like torene. no adolescent or child should be drinking energy drinks because of these risks. ainsley: when can your kid start drinking energy drinks? >> not until they are 18. ainsley: this kid had three of them. can you drink one and you are okay. >> if you are under 18. follow the guidelines before the american academy of pediatrics and monitoring our kids and not allowing them to drink energy drinks. ainsley: talked about 100 cups. using k cup machine or brewing a big cup of coffee. but, if did you go to starbucks. they have more caffeine in them, right? >> again wide variability. that's the other issue. we don't have labels on for caffeine content as we do for calories. vin at a has 400 milligrams of caffeine in it. you know, smaller grande will probably have about half that. but it's still a lot more caffeine. ainsley: are there warning

signs for folks drinking coffee this morning or heart palpitations? what happens? >> absolutely. when you start to get toxic doses of caffeine anxious, sweaty, i do if you are rhetoric. your blood pressure goes up and heart palpitations and general feeling of nervousness. headaches are additionally common when you overdose on caffeine. ainsley: what do you do? >> you should be vigilant especially with young kids. tell them to stay away from energy drinks. especially in sport there is some confusion between the difference between a sport drink and energy drink and teens who are playing sports are using these things before they work out. before big sports games. and i think parents need to be ridge lent. ainsley: if you have some of these symptoms should you go to the hospital. >> you should. absolutely. ainsley: it's very scary. >> it is. ainsley: thank you your insight. >> my pleasure. ainsley: one soldier's parachute training goes horribly wrong when he goes straight for the power lines. how he survived.

push on special prosecutor to investigate president trump. >> we very much need a special prosecutor. >> appoint a special prosecutor. ainsley: why does ken starr, probably the most famous prosecutor of all times say that is the last thing that we need? he is going to join us live to tell us why. ♪ hey, you ♪ get off of my cloud ♪ hey, you ♪ get off of my cloud ♪ earning your cash back shouldn't be this complicated. yet some cards limit where you earn bonus cash back

warner doing his investigation. i guess he wants somebody else. the next guest has some firsthand experience in that role and says bad idea. ainsley: joining us now is the special counsel for bill clinton's lewenski and white water scandals judge ken starr. thank you, judge for being with us. >> my pleasure. ainsley: you say no special prosecutor, why? >> it's a bad idea. it's a tool but last resort tool. let the process work. we've got a great justice department. we have career prosecutors with total integrity and we have an fbi that has over 10,000 special agents. and these are terrific men and women. let them do their job. steve: sure. explain how you set up an independent office or a special prosecutor because you pretty much are starting from scratch. >> it's a start up operation. think silicon valley. where are we going to have office space? we need to hire some lawyers. and then we need to call the fbi. by the way, we need some fbi agents over here. there is going to be delay no matter what. people say well, debated larry

tribe and larry says who cares about a little bit of delay? i don't think the american people want delay. it's inefficient. impractical. you are out there on your own. that's the other thing. the special prosecutor. independent counsel eventually become very controversial in his or her own right. brian: it certainly happened in your situation. senator warner saying don't trust us to do an investigation. don't trust the fbi. let's give it to somebody else? how do you figure that because they are in the minority? what's the mind set there? >> well, i'm not going to attribute motives but let's face it the political angle i'm focused on the legal angle and constitutional angle. constitutional angle is very simple. thank you, brian, for saying that. the senate committee is up, it's running. in fact, the very first thing that senator warner said in that segment was we're going to get to the truth. the we was that particular committee. the intelligence committee.

and the american people have the assurance that that's a bypass committee. richard burr, north korea, mark warner virginia are working very closely together. collaboratively and they are cooperating with the fbi. so, there is shall i say, they are the merits and then there are the politics. for the merits, allow the process to work, especially one other point. rod rosenstein was, as you know, confirmed by the senate by an overwhelming, virtually unanimously. why was that? it was because of his career. he has a 30 year career as a great person of wonderful integrity. everybody in law enforcement loves rod rosenstein because is he an honest guy. extremely smart but honest. brian: testifying today, too. >> yeah. ainsley: most of us, we have never watched in washington. we don't know how d.c. works. we hear the stories. we think the senate and the house are not going to be able to do this and not be political. you are saying that's not the case. we can trust their investigations? >> yeah. if we go all the way back to

watergate, the key determination that broke the whole case was the senate select committee. using fbi resources and the like, but it was the senate select committee with sam -- a long time ago that found the key evidence about the white house tapes. steve: of course, all the descriptions have you had, everything relies on the fbi information. you have the g men helping people put all the cases together. >> right. steve: i don't know your answer to this regarding the president last tuesday, a week ago today, fired jim comey because of essentially he went rogue and did stuff that fbi directors are not supposed to do. do you agree with the president's decision. >> i think it was meritorious decision i felt and i have great respect for jim comey but we all make mistakes. i felt his handling of the campaign issues first in july and then 11 days before the election was really a violation of justice department rules. it wasn't a violation of law but violation of protocol and he also stepped into the shoes

of the attorney general herself, loretta lynch because he made the judgment she is compromised, i'm going to step into the shoes of the justice department and say no prosecution. that was not his job. brian: you would think if someone wanted to get -- wanted to put an end to the russian investigation, you don't fire the fbi director and affect the investigation, you just get a new fbi director in there. >> the investigation goes forward. so, there is just enormous amount of shall i say smoke about the issue? but the investigation goes on. jim comey was not interviewing witnesses. brian: let's talk about your experience doing the investigation. do you have any regrets about how it was done? do you feel you got the right message out about what you were finding and revealing about the clintons. >> didn't get the message out at all. the message as translated to the american people through the political lens was it was all about a sexual dalliance. it was all about rule of law. but that was part of the problem with the special prosecutor. we did not have the kind of

appear rat aapparatus, communicn apparatus where you get the message out. we do our job, do the best we can our audience, i would say over and over again judges and jurors. we can't do madison avenue. steve: the way the clintons spun it and mainstream media back then the ken starr investigation is costing us a fortune. remember that? >> yeah. i do remember that. do the job but also do it -- basement. we got to get to the bottom of this and we're going to take the bring paths. ainsley: would you change anything? any regrets. >> you always would change something. the regret is that there was not another independent counsel ready to step in to the lewenski phase. that would have been better. all things considered. steve: interesting. >> there was a connection directly going back to the death of vincent foster, believe it or not and linda tripp, monica lewenski. it was all one big unhappy

family. steve: we remember all those. ainsley: yes, we do. steve: ken starr, thank you very much. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for you. >> thanks for starting your day with us. the fate of the trump administration border order now in the hands of three judges appointed by former president bill clinton. the white house arguing the court should not be allowed to second guess the safety of the american people. the executive immigration order on citizens from muslim majority nations would give the trump administration 90 days to create a new extreme vetting process. a soldier in parachute training slams right into high voltage power lines. stop what you're doing and take a look at this. that is frightening. the parachute blowing up and in a flash of light when the female soldier hits the power lines. she drops to the ground. fellow soldiers rushing over to help. according to the sri lankan

russia echoing the white house now shutting down a "the washington post" report that claims president trump shared classified intelligence last week. the story line already sending some democrats in the mainstream media into full attack mode. but did they move too fast with this report? because russia and the white house have both denied it now. here with the debate we have fox news contributor richard fowler and you had son institute national security fellow rebecca heinrich: >> good to be here. steve: do you think "the washington post moved too fast i understand you do. why? >> not too fast my word these people just want to sink the president. once again relying anonymous sources and quoting anonymous source. anonymous source not willing to step forward. you have the national security advisor mcmasters saying unequivocally this story is false especially the part about the president revealing sources and methods. that would be the part that

would be unethical and unwise. mcmaster has said absolutely that did not happen. so any responsible reporter at this point should be looking around and asking the question who was in that meeting? who knows what was actually said and finding out, you know, who this source is to try to get the information. it is up to the "the washington post" to prove the guilt of the president. not the president's job to prove his innocence at this point. steve: richard, it doesn't sound like the source of the "the washington post" story was probably in the oval office. it sounds like the white house called the nsa and the cia and said hey, by the way, this was discussed a little while ago. maybe it came from there. do you think "the washington post has got a problem here or are you okay with it? i mean, "the washington post says they stand by their article and the white house is playing word games. >> i think the white house is playing word games. i think if you look at president trump's tweets just about 10 minutes ago that shows those word games where he says i can release certain information to the russians if i would like to, that's my light and he is right. steve: richard, hold on a second since you brought them

up. let me put up the tweets and can you continue your commentary. >> absolutely. steve: 40 minutes ago president trump said at president i wanted to share with russia, at an openly scheduled white house meeting, which i have the absolute rights to do facts pertainings to terrorism and flight safety. i want russia to step up their fight against isis and terrorism. he was in the room talking about how do we take down isis and this came up. go ahead and continue now. >> as part of that according to the "the washington post" disor, the president revealed a city in the islamic state where you know they have some intelligence. now, here's the problem with that and the president does have the right to reveal that right as most legal scholars have argued. that means is he releasing information or giving information to the russians that was received by america from another intelligence agency which is a big, big, big problem. we can all agree russia is not our friend by any stretch or means of the imagination. for us to share information

received to us from an ally or from a secret source to the russians knowing that the russians are engaging in very funny practices in the middle east is problematic which is why people are saying wait a minute, there is a problem here. including republican senators like bob corker from tennessee. steve: re becca, it does sound like the president mentioned that city and we don't know. according to the "the washington post" he was boasting he knew all the intel and mentioned the city and so richmond is right. that does threaten our ally who provided the information that could be bad for them because the russians can do the reverse engineering and figure out who we're getting stuff again. >> once again i would say we don't know who was in that room. conducting america's foreign policy. he is the holder of that classified information. up to him. i find it really interesting that not just too long ago. all these people anti-trump were defending secretary of state hillary clinton for her

misuse of a highly negligent misuse of classified information and now here we have the president of the united states using it in a way that he sees fit. i would just say at this point it's up to the post. >> two points with that number one we all can agree hillary clinton made mistake with email server. this is the president of the united states. the head of our national security what he did last week in my opinion and the opinion of a lot of others is put our national security in jeopardy. that's problematic. steve: you said that earlier. all right, richard fowler, rebecca line democratic, thank rebecca line rick's. thanks for joining us live. nine time major league baseball all star david ortiz tell us how he achieved the american dream ♪ i'm the man ♪ you can tell everybody ♪ you can tell everybody ♪ go ahead and tell everybody ♪ i'm the man ♪ i'm the man ♪ yes, i am, ♪ yes i am ♪ yes i am

[laughter]

>> it was what it was, right? i mean, i'm not playing anymore. i'm not coming back either. you can breathe. ainsley: congratulations on all your success. tell us how you got here. your upbringing, whats it with a like. >> well, it was hard. it was hard. you know, i come from a country dominican republic where things are not that easy, you know, i mean, lack of opportunity and being able to come into this country as a younger age and to be able have the career that i have, you know, it was pretty much a fight every day. brian: you get the eye of some scouts. you have some power. your dad sees that in you. suddenly you are in america. you are 17 years old. trying to deal with the arizona heat. you call your dad and your dad is saying i'm coming home. he said no. you are going to fight for him and the family and yourself. what were you representing? it wasn't just about david ortiz being a major league player.

>> i had the opportunity to come from a family that encouraged me to do the right thing. you know, i know that i was the way out for my family. and i can tell you, i mean, i came to wisconsin when i was 17. i know i left my family behind. and like i say, i had the opportunity to have unbelievable parents who teach me and encourage me to do the right thing. i carried that with me all the way -- brian: because you have the pressure of your family when you are up at bat with the pressure. you said you never felt the pressure you embraced the moment because of where you came. >> from the thing was let's say the best thing that ever happened to me i came to play baseball, you know, that's why i was having fun, you know, and i don't feel the pressure but it was pressure. it was something that i don't have to think about every day

but did was there. believe it or not. steve: after the boston marathon bombing, you were a crucial part of trying to get that city to heal. how did that make you feel because so many boosttonians bos looked up to you. >> i wasn't looking at the situation as a baseball player i was looking at the situation as a citizen. i became to be an american citizen 2008. i had that wonderful opportunity to be a citizen. and i like to represent this country at my best. this country has been so blessing to me and my family. steve: the american dream, david. >> there you go. ainsley: have you got to read his book. he talks about his kids, his family. how he picked up his wife. said do you have a boyfriend? she said no. you do now. brian: now your number one fan make it work in new york cole, come on up here. do you know what it like to be

mysterious death of a dnc staffer. >> investigator now says staff rich was in contact with wikileaks. >> sinvolved. you better believe they're going to be dragged in to to be questioned. >> the youngest graduate from texas christian university. >> very exciting, but i was also really, really nervous. next step graduate school. so research and finishing my ph.d. steve: welcome to the third hour of fox and friends for this very busy tuesday. with the russian ambassador and foreign minister last week in the oval office. white house has denied it and the russians have come out this morning, and they've denied it as well. brian: and now let's look at some of the tweets that the president put out regarding the situation with hr mcmaster last night and written statements from dena powell and rex tillerson. he says this: as president, i

want to share with russia and openly schedule white house meeting, can i have the absolute right to do. facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. humanitarian reasons. plus, i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terrorism. and now, we bring in laura ingram to react who was giving instant analysis last night on special report. laura, we saw you do great work last night. what would you like to report today after the president's tweets? >> the president tweets what you just read confirms what both dana powell and rex tillerson statement and hr mcmaster statement last night. the critics of the president and i would include in that the authors of the washington post piece that they were celebrating in the newsroom of the washington post about yesterday, they believe, and they maintain that what the

president revealed while not illegal, because he has the right as a can chief executive to declarify information if that's what he chooses to do, they concede it's not legal but that basically it's irresponsible and could compromise those other source countries that are helping us and sources that are helping us in the fight against isis. but in the tweet you just read, the president said his goal is to have russia greatly step up their fight against isis, which we all know has done enormous damage and bring instability to the region, causing the big humanitarian crisis with the migration to europe. and that's where we are right now. but it was amazing to watch this unfold last night. with the egregious feeding frenzy that took place not just in newsrooms but was jumped on by some republican senators like bob corker who just take lock, stock, and barrel.

whatever some leaker gave to the washington post. said, well, i find this disturbing that this could be happening. so as usual, the critics of the president and the senate jump all over reports before we really learn more. brian: made the right choice as secretary of state not to pick him. >> well, exactly and, again, remember where we are right now. we're at a point where the media and certain critics of the president want him to stay off narrative and stay off message. he's about to leave on this historic trip to the middle east to the vatican. this is a big deal trip. and anything they can do to nick him up and scar him up, they will do. ainsley: what's interesting is the lyric was so upset that the president allegedly leaked the stuff that they went to the washington post and leaked the information. >> a couple of us last night after a special report were depositing that the report in the washington post coor more damaging than certainly

whatever happened inside the oval office with lavrov and three other principals in the white house from the national security state and what we have was discussed is the washington post piece. even though they say, well, we're not reporting on the source country information. the signal source information that we believe was compromised. i want to go back to a moment to what we were all discussing in january. in january, wrote the first piece about the problem of leaks inside this administration. and at the time like no one was talking about it, we did a big piece on it. and this problem continues to plague this administration. and whatever they need to do to stop irresponsible leaks or disgruntled employees from rushing to the media, they ought to do because they're the ones who are compromising our international relations. as far as i know now. maybe we'll learn something else. but the information i have now indicates that the administration is very being very consistent in how they're

responding to this. very consistent. steve: but it sounds like according to the washington post, some of the sources for this, it sounds like there were two leaks. a former and a current member of the administration. so we know that the obama people were out to get mr. trump, although you made the joke last night that it could have been somebody from the reagan administration but probably not. >> yeah. also, ducey, remember that there are probably people still inside the national security apparatus who worked in the obama administration. it doesn't mean they can't be loyal public servants and do a great job but we don't know that yet. brian: laura, but the way it seems. and you tell me if i'm wrong here because you had the information unfold and coming right to you there. the way it seems, whoever was in that room was in that room, hr mcmaster picked up the phone and called over to the nsa and cia and said, listen, we went over certain things with the russians. we just want to make sure you know. there's no, there there, but

we want to explain to them we did tell them about the isis information. and somehow it got from the intelligence apparatus to the washington post with the name and all the details there. so i can't imagine mike pompeo doing that. but somehow it got from there to the washington post. it doesn't necessarily have to be the russian photographer lavrov, kislack. steve: it's like the phone call the president had with the prime minister of australia where supposedly he hang up with him. next thing you know, it's in the front page of the newspaper. >> think about right now what is compromising u.s. interest. what is compromising u.s. intel interest is a senior level intel officer, intermediate level. we don't know who mcmaster talked to. he's not going to reveal that who clearly in the subsequent reporting seemed to be the one who got this ball moving down the field last night in this washington post report. that is really disturbing.

that is a crime. what the president did in the oval office even the critics are saying there's nothing illegal here because he has the right to do this. even if let's say that's true what the washington post reported. but what is a crime is what happened with the intel official then got the information with the washington post. that could, in fact, be a crime. again, the leaks inside this administration are hurting both their functioning and the security of this country. not what was said in this meeting with lavrov and kislack. that is ridiculous. ainsley: what do you think about the timing? because this meeting was six days ago. on may 10th. here we are on may 16th, they just did this story five days later. so does that mean someone in the meeting might have told some friends and -- >> i don't think so. i don't think that's what happened. i don't think dena powell or tillerson or mcmaster is chatting about this no. i think mcmaster called over

to the intel people and said, look, i just want to be clear what happened at this meeting. that then trickled down from someone that he talked to to intermediate level staff or staffer. maybe a career person heard it. we're not -- i don't know if we're ever going to know this. but it had to have trickled down, in my view, and how i analyze this. that's how it trickled down. and then you get another former official from the obama administration off the record saying, oh, yeah, this is an outrage if this happened. that's what we're hearing. ainsley: you don't think it was necessarily in the meeting? brian: someone in the intel agency. and, by the way, intel agency, why would they call the washington post and reveal every single thing including the city and then have to be called off the edge on that. and then the intel community should realize you don't work for the president, you work for the country. and this hurts the country. >> there is someone burrowed into the intel community, at

least one person who wants to hurt trump. brian: sure. >> this is not about we're worried the russians are going to chop someone's head off or is shoot someone in the head. they want to hurt trump before he goes overseas with the historic meetings that no president has ever try to take. that's what's pulling the curtain back. steve: the story has been all along russia, russia, russia. >> yeah. steve: in the first instances, russia apparently leaked to wikileaks all those dnc e-mail; right? well, now there's a story up on foxnews.com. remember that dnc staff member who there he is right there. he was killed about ten months ago. it was rumored that he was the source of the e-mails. i'm sure you've heard that. well, now i'm just going to read you the lead line on the foxnews.com story. the dnc staffer who was gunned down on july 10th on washington, d.c. street last

july just steps from his home had leaked thousands of internal e-mails to wikileaks law enforcement sources have told fox news. so it looks like there's a possibility this is a guy who provided two wikileaks all those dnc e-mail. >> and then he was shot in the back. steve: he was shot in the back. murdered. >> anyone at the time thought that was bizarre. he happened to work for the dnc. rumor had to have contacts with wikileaks. and then shot in the back and no one takes his cell phone or wallet. just found in the street in washington, d.c. rod wheeler, the investigator who broke the story with fox 5 here in washington said he was told by the dc police to basically stand down. just stand down. you're not going to get anywhere with this. on his computer and seth rich's i believe relatives. i believe that's what was in the story. his computer was in the hands of authorities and that on

that computer we will have more definitive information about how he was in touch with wikileaks than juliann julian assange today reporting that he was affirming that -- confirming that, in fact, seth rich was the source of these dnc e-mails to wikileaks and that he was shot by someone. but no suspect. ainsley: it seems very suspicious. you know what's interesting, though? the parents aren't pursuing it. steve: they were told it was a robbery. >> i don't know what to say about that. but when people don't want information to get out and when an election is on the line, you know, again, reading between the lines, a lot of people will do a lot of things that otherwise they wouldn't do when hundreds of millions of dollars are on the line. brian: one thing said over and over again, it wasn't the russians. it was somebody else. >> consistently. and, again, people say assange, you can't trust assange. we don't know. but this is at least something that's worth reporting on, isn't it? an aggressive lack of

curiosity on the part of the frothing media that is hell bent on portraying this administration as out of control, no discipline, et cetera, et cetera. where's the follow-up on this story? we've got some investigator who's just going around by himself finding out all of this information and where's the washington post on this? ainsley: and the computer in the hands of the authorities. brian: why would they want to leak information to begin with? the story just breaking last night and this morning, so let's hope that we finally get to the bottom of this. brian: lori, great stuff. appreciate it. 13 minutes after the hour. steve: coming up, they're here in this country illegally and now they can apparently stay, thanks to you. should your tax dollars really be used to defend illegals from being deported back home? that's coming up next. ainsley: and 1,000 students walk out to support cops when disband their police department. this morning we have a major update for you. did you know 90% of couples disagree

of tax dollars set aside to help shield illegals from deportation. this as california's braces for a $1.6 billion deficit. do they have the money to be doing that as well? here to weigh in is the author of government gone wild and a contributor to the hill kristen. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: you say -- you refer to this as jerry brown's sneaky budget revision. >> yeah. well, first of all, this is just financially reckless. as you point out the state is approaching a $1.6 billion deficit and now apparently they can come up with tens of millions of dollars to pay for these illegals defense funds. this is a slap in the face to california residence and to all americans that have been -- you know, this is supposed to be a nation of laws. and now california taxpayers may be forced to subsidize legal battles against the federal government to deport illegal immigrants. people who broke our laws. steve: sure and we've been talking about sanctuary cities and california is pretty much

a sanctuary state as well. but why would they spend so many tax dollars. you've got to figure. if they did the statewide referendum, are you okay with us spending your tax dollars to keep people who are in this country illegally here against deportation? how do you feel about that? do you think it would be overwhelmingly, yeah. let's go ahead and s on them? >> if people were aware of the facts, people would be against this. the problem is that the media doesn't report on the facts. you know, california like other border states deal with a lot of crime by illegal immigrants. the government accountability office reported that 75% of criminals convicted of federal drug charges are illegal immigrants. 38% of murder convictions in california, arizona, texas, florida, and new york are illegal immigrants. but, again, people don't know this stuff. but if californians did, i would think they would be pretty outraged.

steve: well, it is outrageous if they're facing a $1.6 billion budget shortfall, something is going to have to give. are we going to fund the schools or pay for the illegal defense of illegals? >> well, california is in a financial disaster but, you know, i think the other thing people fail to recognize often is the human element to this. i mean, like, what is governor jerry brown, the governor of california going to tell the numerous families who have lost loved ones due to the crimes of illegal immigrants? what's he going to tell the parents of that young boy who was gunned down by a gang member illegal immigrant who we released from prison one day earlier? what's he going to tell the parents of katherine steynly? he was also deported by a five time deported illegal. steve: kristen, thank you. >> thank you, steve. steve: straight ahead, president trump promising to wipe out the notorious street

gang ms13. that starts with local police. brian went along in a ride along in a community hard hit by that gang, and we're going to take you there next. plus, meet the lawmaker who wants to legalize pot because it will fix america's drug crisis. hey, man. oh! nice man cave! nacho?

>> good morning. aware back with a fox news alert, a jet explodes into flames killing everyone onboard. the private plane coming in for a landing at airport in new jersey when witnesses say it flipped upside down slamming into three buildings in the suburbs. the plane took off from philadelphia with just two pilots onboard. no one on the ground was hurt. the crash is now under investigation. and a field trip nightmare more than two dozen students

hurt when their bus flipped over on a maryland interstate. they were headed from flip to washington, d.c. when a car lost control and hit the bus, veering off the road. officers happened to be traveling behind the bus running to help the kids. one child and teacher flown to the hospital with serious injuries. back to you guys. steve: thank you. meanwhile the notorious street gang you've been hearing a lot about, ms13 responsible for dozens of recent murders. it's so bad, it has prompted the white house to take a stand. >> i have a message for the gangs that target our young people. we are targeting you. we're coming after you. trump: ms13 is going to be gone from our streets very soon. believe me. ainsley: so how are police handling this situation? brian took a ride along in new york with police to find out. brian: yeah, where there's

been 15 murders in the last 16 months and 30 since 2010. meanwhile, all they would say is we're hunting them. that's the mind-set of the police department gang unit when it comes to ms13. and they appreciate the attention they're getting right now. so we take a firsthand look at a average night as they hit the streets. watch. brian: so i notice we're in an unmarked car. >> yes. brian: but not even an unmarked car. this is an every day car. this could be any car. >> yeah. and we like it that way. low profile. low surveillance vehicle. allows us to get closest to ms13 without them knowing since we've been working on decimating ms13 from these communities, we have target locations, and we go to those locations several times a day. there is no place that they're going to be able to hide anymore. brian: where are we at right now?

why are we here? >> this is the site of one of the original cases where a couple of bodies were discovered. >> this became an ms13 hang out. this became a real bad spot. there another other gangs that i dealt with that will hang out in the woods in this area covered by dense brush and schlub shrubs and stuff. ms is in the woods. this is where we find them. >> when you came here -- >> something like that has never been seen before. the violence and brutality from individuals is unheard of. brian: this in an average night, how many people involved in the patrol? >> you may have anywhere 10 to 20 officers just dedicated to gang patrolling. >> being on the gang team is a very specialized unit, and you have to prove yourself in patrol to get to it. earlier in the night patrol, which is a real significant part of gang suppression, brought in four ms13.

they were trespassing in a vacant house, and we see that a lot. brian: so we're turning around. >> turning around. we may have seen someone. we're going to see who this person is. just like we were speaking about. why is this person out? who is he? does he look familiar to us? why does he have a hood over his head? this is we're going to take. this is what the guys do all the time. >> the gentleman's on his way to work. i wanted to double-check. caught our attention. and we just wanted to double-check. >> we're looking right now for ms13. we're actually going to say hunting them. all the intelligence that we can get, we get. any time we can arrest them, we arrest them. and now with a new administration with trump supporting us and attorney general sessions supporting us, now we have the opportunity it seems to take

these guys into custody and then get them out. steve: because this administration's got their back. brian: right and they're also focusing on people here illegally committing crimes, and they want them out. that's exactly what makes up most of ms13 and these people in the working class communities make them susceptible. a lot of the don't have a choice. we're going to harass your family, burn down your house. or they know family members in el salvador, they could put a hit on a family in another country. that's how they've infiltrated. ainsley: local news in san ontonio, texas, there was basically a story about ms13 every single day. you see them coming over the border from mexico. now here in new york, they're all over the united states. brian: they're brutal, the way they commit their crimes, machetes, actions, hatchets, and crimes. it's a brutal.

steve: it's a hard task that the men and women have. brian: it's like a mind-set. meanwhile, straight ahead is al-qaeda making a come back. the son of osama bin laden vowing to very long his dad's death. coming up the secret weapons in the fight against terror has a warning. steve: and 1,000 students walk out to support the police officers in a town when the city voted to disband the police department. we put the spotlight on this story and this morning, we have a major update. whatever your dog brings home... ...it shouldn't be fleas and ticks. no, no no no no... seresto® kills and repels fleas and ticks for 8 continuous months - for effective protection in an easy-to-use, non-greasy collar. 8-month seresto®. from bayer. tech: when your windshield trust safelite autoglass.. our exclusive trueseal technology means a strong, reliable bond. at safelite, we stand behind our work... because the ones you love, sit behind it.

them all or go to the latest one? steve: you know, let's go to the latest one, which is this one. i've been asking director comey and others from the beginning of my administration to find the leakers in the intelligence community. i think what prompted that is just the revelation that according to the washington post and the original reporting, senior white house officials called the cia and nsa to a meeting with the russians last week and said, hey, just you to have a heads-up about what was discussed in the oval office with the russians. next thing you know a couple of days later that information is leaked out to the washington post. so you would summarize that -- or surmise that is to say that perhaps somebody in the intel community is the source. ainsley: he needs to find out who these leakers are. brian: the washington post contends with the fact that he, the president is looking at the intel community for leaking out what went on in that meeting shows that what went on in that meeting might be something damaging in terms of leaks. i think that's the point

they're making because somehow the intelligence community was informed that the president may have given up the city to where an isis informant was and where a middle eastern country allied with us was giving intel on. so we never gave up the country, but we may have given up the city. ainsley: has this information and leaking it to the media outlets. they have such a problem with leaking. if they think he's leaking to the russians, and he's not, whoever is leaking to the washington post, they're doing worst. these are national security that are being leaked to the public. brian: national security correspondent for the washington post, he says by the president tweeting that the problems within the intel community, he's confirming his story is true. ainsley: well, he's saying that the tweets the president had an hour ago are confirming his story, which are he wrote as president, i wanted to share with russia at an openly

scheduled white house meeting, which i had the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety, humanitarian reasons. plus, i want russia to greatly step up their fight against isis and terrorism. steve: and so when the president said can i have the absolute right to do, that the washington post says confirms our original story that that information was confidential, and it was leaked out. brian: wow. i go back to -- ainsley: back and forth. brian: i go back to what i said earlier. if the intel community there seems to be a huge push to make sure this president is diminished as he gets set to go overseas. he's going to be saudi arabia today, meeting with the turkish leader today is going to be contentious. we have different views on things. and then friday saudi arabia, then italy, belgium, the vatican. so the president was probably going -- he's well briefed on this. probable going to be a solid

trip, and he's trying to hurt him. ainsley: we'll have some more in the accident of. in the meantime, let's hand it over to julian who has headlines for us. >> good morning. what you need to know before you leave the house. president trump working to free the hero doctor who helped track down osama bin laden. negotiations are intensifying between the white house and pakistan. the country sentenced doctor to 33 years to prison for the first treason. his lawyers appearing in trial next week. the cia to pull off a fake vaccination operation confirming bin lad hiding in the compound before navy seals moved in. and a opioid addiction isis. pot, introducing a bill that would legalize, regulate, and tax weed in his state. he claims it will help wean themselves off opioids saying quote i can't say i know what it's going to do but based on what it did in other states, it will decrease the opioid epidemic. not just in this state but

countrywide. drug prevention specialist refuse those claims. a city council that sparked outrage for voting to ditch its local police now doing. leaders in minnesota approving a new contract changing an earlier decision to use money. the move came after 1,000 students walked out of class to support the cops. one of the students and the councilmember joined us on fox and friends last week. >> it was gigantic, and it was also student led. it's a great story of our students being in touch with what's happening with our community and supporting law enforcement. >> 23 officers will now keep their jobs. and that's a lack at your headlines this morning. steve: as it turns out during that interview that we discovered, apparently it just caught the average homeowner in that town something like $3 a month for the police department, so they're going to keep it. ainsley: i'm glad they're going to keep it. because you would rather spend

the $3 and keep your family safe. it's worth it. brian: absolutely. it beats getting a bodyguard for every family. steve: there she is. the lady in yellow with a fan of fox and friends. >> how did you guess? what's your name? >> audrey. >> and where are you from? >> atlanta, georgia. >> do you want to say hi to anybody at home? >> yes, all the georgia bulldogs, all of my family, everybody in georgia. >> who do you love on fox and friends? >> janice dean and everybody on fox and friends. >> oh, my gosh there's not even a teleprompter. you can't leave. there's going to be a kiddie pool in the plaza. it's going to be fabulous. i love you. here are your current temperatures right now. whereabouts in georgia? >> just northeast of atlanta. >> and you have people watching you this morning, i hope. >> i do. i do. >> very fancy, my friend. you have a trough across the west coast, and that's

bringing the potential for snow. there's new york city. 78, 90 tomorrow. you can't leave me. and a quick look at the satellite radar imagery, we do have potential for severe storms across the u.s. thank you for coming. go dogs. >> go dogs. >> is that how you say it? >> go dogs. dogs. back inside. steve: thank you. ainsley: how cute is she? steve: meanwhile, is al-qaeda making a come back? the son of osama bin laden vowing now to avenge his father's death. our next guest is one of the fbi's secret weapons to fight the terror group. his warning coming up next

before fibromyalgia, i was active. i was energetic. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. he also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better.

lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions... or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can be more active. ask your doctor about lyrica. ainsley: six years after the death of osama bin laden, al-qaeda is reemerging this time with the help of his son. brian: yeah, he's it will years old. the daily network has been groomed for the role. ready to take over the family

business. ainsley: well, here with more is former fbi agent and author of anatomy of terror. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: all right. so you say that there are documents that were ceased in bin laden's compound. what have we learned from these documents? you read through all of them. brian: the one that's declassified. there are a lot that are classified. >> yeah. there are a lot classified. but dozens and dozens declassified. ainsley: those that you found. >> it's amazing how micromanaging al-qaeda, giving them instructions how to release hostages to how to indoctrinate new members, how he tried to corolla facilities, for example, he gave instructions for al-qaeda to send all al-qaeda's messages to al-qaeda and the islamic because most of the people over there are not going to be reading arabic. he was controlling his brand. he appears to be micromanaging

the organization. but also, it seems to me reading through the documents how bin laden's thinking was changing. especially after the arab spring. immediately after the arab spring, bin laden realized there was a historic moment for him to build the network of al-qaeda. by taking advantage of all of these vacuums that's happening in places like libya, in places like yemen how al-qaeda get involved with the geopolitical complex that's happening over there in order to find more recruits, more funding, more money, and more members. brian: how do you know all of this. tell us who you are and how you got involved in the war on treasure. you're muslim; right? >> yeah. i'm an fbi agent. and back in 1997, i wrote a memo to my leadership and the fbi that we have to pay attention to this guy osama bin laden who seems to be very dangerous. after the east africa embassy bombing, i was focusing mainly on osama bin laden. i worked on the east africa embassy bombings.

i was in charge of the uss coal and i supervised the investigation of 9/11 plus one of the people who investigated "fox 11 news" plus a lot of the events surrounding 9/11. so i've been working al-qaeda for many years. brian: bin laden's killed, and then we're finally taking massive action against al-qaeda in iraq now isis. you would think that we turned a page, but we haven't. what's this guy capable of? >> brian, we killed bin laden. but his message led. and it's very obvious just last saturday his son put out a message. and in that message, we heard the terminology that he used. that we have to liberate the lands of the two holy mosques and saudi arabia. these things we did not hear since bin laden died. but what he's trying to do is use the current tactics used by a group like isis and use

it in the narrative of osama bin laden. and that's what makes him dangerous because as bin laden, as the son of osama bin laden, he has the capability to unify the global jihadi movement between isis and al-qaeda. remember, isis was al-qaeda branch in iraq. isis used to be al-qaeda and their problem with the leadership is their problem with the current leader. brian: bin laden is still a famous name in saudi arabia. they're very, very rich. divorced themself from terror, perhaps. what should the president be saying if he wants to get on top of al-qaeda when he goes to visit in a couple of days? >> i think he needs to tell the saudis we have the same enemy. and if they listen to what he put out last saturday, they have to be fearful because he talked about liberating saudi arabia from the house. and liberating saudi arabia from the u.s. presence, this is something we did not see

since 1996 decoration of jihad by osama bin laden and 1998. brian: wow. ainsley: i know you don't fear another 9/11 because you say they don't have the capability. hopefully. if you're interested in reading his book, you can learn more about his story. congratulations on the book. >> thank you. thank you for having me. brian: great to see you. >> always. brian: coming up straight ahead. ainsley: mainstream media spinning up all kinds of doomsday for the white house. >> old days of watergate. >> donald trump in many of his rhetoric and actions pose a danger to american democracy isn't that our next guest has a simple way to deal with the mainstream media. put them on mute. brian: but first, let's take a look at the guy who will never be muted. bill hammer. >> what was said, what was not, the president responding to all of this this morning. we will take you live to the white house. who will be the next fbi director?

we have a few more clues already today on that. strong allegations against syria, reports of a cremation center. and the latest in north korea fired a missile one day. did they carry out a computer hack the next? what is the truth on that? great lineup today. we'll see you in ten minutes top of the hour on america's nem

with unitedhealthcare, you can get rewarded for walking. goal! dad... we wanna welcome everyone to the father daughter dance. walk, move and earn money... ...for out-of-pocket medical expenses. he's ok! unitedhealthcare

steve: well, the mainstream media hasn't exactly been shined away from adding their own opinion to the reporting on's many actions. >> i was on your show also last fall saying we were going to michigan and how we were going to do it. so that was fun. here's what's going to happen today. >> what's the line between service to the president and service to the country, sir? >> also brought back three words from watergate. obstruction of justice. donald trump much of his

rhetoric and parenting and the future athlete his actions poses a danger to american democracy. ainsley: wow. so this is a danger. how is middle america responding to this elite media? here with thoughts is southern comedian and social commentator chad. hey, chad, great to see you again. >> good morning. always good to be with you guys. ainsley: great to have you here. so middle america. how are they reacting to what's being reported from these media outlets in new york city and in l.a.? >> well, i think everybody at this point in time is taking everything with a grain have salt almost to the point of ignoring it, simply because the media has gone off track. you know, there's something they teach in journalism school. you guys know this. there's journalistic objectivity. and, unfortunately, the media has lost that. you can't mix values with facts. and that's what's going on. instead of reporting the news and disseminating information, it's become an opinion piece and a constant editorial. so when you have a major news

anchor that is interviewing a staff member that's very high up in the trump administration and when she gets her response, he gives a hugely exaggerated eye roll, that's not news anymore. the hard working people out there that put trump in office, put the president in office, they're saying you don't have the right to tell us how to think anymore. so they're really looking at this thing as being a little bit betrayed, and i think at this point most people are turning the news off. steve: yeah, i think you're right, chad. i think most people want the joe friday approach. just the facts man. just give me the facts and the news people and then the opinion people. i'll listen to them. how do you think middle america feels about the news for the washington post that sounds like president trump shared classified with information with the russians? but the russians say that didn't happen and the white house says that didn't happen. >> the people that put the president in the office, the american people that voted for

him, the hard worked average american that's out there, they've been looking at president trump, and they believe he has the best interest in the united states. i'm going to go with general mcmaster who said that didn't happen. i trust that. i believe president trump wants to protect american people. he wants to protect american business, he wants to protect us from terrorism. and i know that there's this massive witch hunt to think he's siding up with russian interest, and he's betraying this. but i simply don't think that's going to happen. now, was a mistake made? who knows. i don't know. but i can tell you this. i'm quite certain it was not malicious in the sense of sharing information to harm america. we can get into hillaryand information being shared by in large they were silent in pursuing a lot of those things. but now when something came out like that, it becomes

major news because, oh, my goodness president trump is out to create doom for america. and it's just simply not true. and everyone knows that. and in their heart they know that's not true. ainsley: yeah, i mean, i think a lot of people out there would agree with you. is that why you think he won because he's more in touch with what middle america wanted? >> well, he won, first of all, because he ran a better campaign, and i think that he spoke to the values of what america -- americans want to see this country become again. the value, the work ethic, the hard work, keeping business in america, protecting us. that was the voice that he did. so, you know, that's what won the election, and i think people are still going to hold him to that. they still believe in that. and right now, he hasn't proven us wrong. steve: okay. chad joining us today from dallas. the big d. thank you, sir. ainsley: thank you. we have more fox and friends straight ahead
