hearing president trump and his daughter are focusing on education. hid to wisconsin with governor scott walker focusing on job training workforce development week. here's what the first daughter and special advisor to the president, ivanka h to say on this program yesterday. >> we're visiting one ever the great examples of skill-based learning and skills based education, a technical school in wisconsin which we're very excited about to talk about the skills gap and to really highlight the fact that there is a viable path other than a four year college experience. >> much of the focus here in washington will be on the testimony of attorney general jeff sessions under oath and in full view of everybody. sessions is going to get grilled over questions regarding his contact with russian ambassador sergey kislyak and allegations coming from james comey last week. early. the sooner we can move on the better. >> i think the president has been clear last week in the

rose garden that he believes that the sooner we can get this addressed and dealt with that there has been no collusion he wants this to get investigated as soon as possible and be done with it so he can continue with the business of the american people. >> so the grilling begins at 2:30. get your popcorn and milk duds ready no word whether there will be a closed session to follow like they did can james comey's testimony last week. brian: taste great but not good for your skin especially if you are a teen. steve: milk duds. brian: yes. that's what griff recommended we have. steve: will jeff sessions answer questions about his involvement in the canning of mr. comey? or will he invoke executive privilege? you know, if he dose, it looks like he has got something to hide. then again, there might be a good reason not to reveal it stay tuned, it's coming up this afternoon. ainsley: if you have to work, we have all the details right after that hearing right here

on the fox news channel. we are going down to washington. we are going to be sitting down with ivanka for one-on-one interview to find out what happened today in wisconsin. we have that for you. steve: tomorrow. brian: by the way what jeff sessions said about 2:30. i sense he cannot wait to knock out of the park or address in full detail what's going to be happening with the russians. i sense that he is going to balance it out. meet with the russian ambassador? yes, hungarian ambassador also. the polish ambassador as well. i was this thing called a u.s. senator. and i think i will be able to put it in perspective today not only is he the attorney general with answers, he actually knows how to answer questions. steve: sure. brian: as a legal expert. steve: a lot of the those were just a handshake. that was it. that qualifies as a meeting. brian: right. ainsley: they do get along. brian: mayflower hotel meeting he is claiming it didn't even happen. let alone does he have to explain what happened. ainsley: yesterday we talked about how things are getting pretty bad for the democrats.

even dianne feinstein liberal representing the state of california. she wants to know more about that loretta lynch meeting when loretta lynch asked james comey allegedly to down play the investigation. said don't call this hillary clinton email thing an investigation. let's call it a matter. well, now we are finding out more information and it gets worse there are reports that james comey has more information on loretta lynch than the 45-minute tarmac meeting with president clinton. steve: that's right. in fact, he went to have a meeting with her to talk about how that tarmac meeting created a conflict of interest. and that was really bad for the department. and then he revealed that he had in his possession a sensitive document that she did not know the fbi had. and what it said was is between political figures and it said circumstantial that loretta lynch was going to put the kibosh, i think that's how sarah carter of circa news puts it put the kibosh on any further investigation of

hillary clinton. listen to this. here is sarah carter who has the story on circa along with john solomon. >> we know that lawmakers were briefed on a meeting that director comey, former director comey had with loretta lyncher with confronted her, not just about the tarmac, but about a sensitive piece of communication. it was a piece of communication between two political figures that basically alluded to the fact that loretta lynch was going to put the kibosh with any type of investigation against hillary clinton. and when he confronted her with that piece of evidence, she basically stared at him and there was a long period as he described it to lawmakers, a long period of steely silence. i thought that was really telling. steely silence. then she looked up at him and she asked him if there was nothing more he needed to say then he should turn around and leave the office. brian: people talk about russia collusion and what was going on.

you know, we have to get to the bottom of this. well, people have to get to the bottom of the fact that the democratic administration was possibly suppressing information that would have benefited the democratic nominee, that is why this is worth looking at. for those of you who say she lost what's the big deal? that is a big deal. we are looking at what was the behind the scenes leading to our election on november 8th. the other thing that i cannot wait to talk to judge napolitano. i'm going to write it down. you are going to talk to him one-on-one. why would james comey feel compelled to talk about private information in conversation with the president of the united states and say give that to the "new york times." but he can't tell us about a communication that existed between the former attorney general and himself as former -- now former fbi director? steve: we are leaving one important part of the story out. after james comey had that exchange that steely exchange, he took that as the reason why he would go ahead and go public with the story. he said circumstantial i can't trust my -- her to do this story.

so i'm going to take the story public and eventually, of course, it led to him announcing that he didn't think any charges would be filed. so, he is trying to tell behind the scenes to the lawmakers what went on with loretta lynch just as he did with. brian: he might have said behind the scenes to lawmakers. they might all know this already. when they go behind closed doors, they're not supposed to say what happened. those lawmakers have to sit there and grill attorney general general sessions today know loretta lynch possibly if this circa report is true has done far worse. ainsley: we will ask the judge what happens next because it seems like james comey has a lot of information and it's just now coming out. we don't know everything. brian: are we done with james comey? steve: no. he is going to write a book. ainsley: we're done talking about him now because we are going to hand it over to jillian who has headlines. jillian: good morning. we do have breaking news right now. good morning to you at home as well. massive manhunt intensifying this morning after a police officer is shot and killed in

its doors to working people and young people and all people who are prepared to fight for social and economic justice. brian: so bernie sanders is on to something, perhaps. according to a recent poll white working class men are bolting to the republican party and they are not alone. he had put up a flare for that in the last election. the rising american electorate, minorities, unmarried women and millennials are also moving to the right slowly. so why the apparent shift in the man behind the polls,r prest bill clinton stanley greenberg joins us now. stan, when did you begin to see this? >> look, we began to see this, to be honest, if you go back to bill clinton, you know, he is the one that saw that resurge, and i'm going to run for the forgotten middle class. he began to see it. since the financial crisis, began to see losing working people and disengagement of many base voters during the off year election. this isn't necessarily a shift to the right.

it's who is going to take on the powerful on behalf of the middle class and that produced a disengagement that was very harmful for democrats in those elections. brian: so right now we know that george bush 41 said go for nafta. clinton that passed nafta and for longest time republicans were for nativit nafta. things began to shift at the end. also, rightly or wrongly, president obama is getting blamed for bailing out wall street. and the elites. and the works class didn't like that. and the most astounding part of it is that this whole allowing illegal immigrants to come here and work for below the wire wages is really ticking off the white working class. >> what you saw in the study that we did after the election was that a pull back from democrats that was rooted in the sense that the elites controlled government, that government is captured and

that worked for the middle class. they are not looking for republicans because they think they are for trickle down and austerity and smaller government. what they saw in trump, agreements. companies to create american jobs. that created an opening for some of those voters to shift to trump in the last election. but, it's not a shift to the right. it's a shift on who is going to take on the powerful on behalf of the middle class. who is going to make government work for people. that's given some openings to trump because of what he was supposedly going to run on. we don't know whether that's real and whether that's sustainable, but it was a break from what they saw from republicans in the past. brian: we know this. he is about america first. is he talking about jobs. is he talking about coal. is he talking about getting these companies to stay here and penalizing for leaving. which is very similar to what bernie sanders was saying. very exciting time for politics. not just talking but doing. stanley greenberg. fascinating. we have to have you in the studio to talk about it

>> i have been amazed at this reversed rhetoric they have been doing. people protesting on the left words are literal violence. when they are violent and attack people for having a trump ad. this is just a form of protest. they are saying that donald trump is dividing the country with hateful rhetoric. i haven't heard hateful rhetoric from donald trump. i have heard it from people. it turns off a lot of people to see that i don't ever recall this. there was a little bit of that in george w. bush a show advertised in london. they wouldn't even though show that in the united states. a new level of vitriol. i don't think that's going to be sustainable for the next few years with americans being turned off. christopher bedford thanks for being with us. >> sure. ainsley: video insane. firefighter gets can a caught in the middle of a massive explosion. watch this. >> get him, get him, get him. ainsley: get him, get him, get him out. that firefighter actually walks away. the incredible story just

skills gap in america today. and wisconsin is a pretty good example of that. you have got a very low unemployment rate of 3.2%, 17-year low in wisconsin. it's a manufacturing kind of state. and they have got jobs available that they don't have skilled people to match. ainsley: what are some of the salaries of these jobs? >> on my show yesterday, we had the ceo of a steelmaker, big steelmaker, he says the average worker in his factories makes $83,000 a year. steve: whoa. >> including benefits. after a couple years it goes to about $95,000 per year. you do not need a college degree for those jobs. what you need is a skill. enter president trump who is pushing apprenticeships and the skill-based learning. vocational education. there is a vital need for that at this point in this country. brian: there is a stigma somewhat with that which is so wrong. >> do you know what it's called? it's called snobbery. the elites want all their sons

sessions idea to have this be in a public forum. i think he preferred to be in private. it's going to be public and there is peril. >> there is peril for attorney general sessions. he really has three interests to defend here. one is his own integrity because the democrats right out of bat are going to accuse him of perjury. and there is enough there for them to stir the pot on it. i don't know if he lied. i don't know if he intentionally lied. but all the information about his contacts with the russian ambassador, which i think were either routine or harmless, nevertheless were not articulated truthfully at the time they should have been. that's one problem for general sessions. the other problem is he is essentially there to challenge some the testimony of former fbi director jim comey who really went for the president's jugular. the third problem here and this is perhaps the stickiest, he is still the attorney general of the united states. he still it is there to defend the integrity of the investigations being conducted

by the justice department, including bob mueller's about which the attorney general can have no involvement because he recused himself. bottom line, this is a moment unique in history because he is there not as the person monitoring these investigations, some intelligence, some law enforcement, but as a witness in two of them. steve: crazy. of course the activities get started around 2, 2:30 this afternoon. >> we will be all over it. steve: meanwhile a story from circa, the news outfit, that says circumstantial according to his testimony last week james comey apparently was told by loretta lynch hey, don't call the hillary thing an investigation. call it a matter. apparently there was another instance where he went in to talk about how when she talked to bill clinton on the tarmac, it created a conflict of interest. he was upset about that. and then apparently he had some secret document that showed that suggested that lynch agreed to put the kibosh on any prosecution of hillary

clinton. and then she just kind of looked at him and said if you don't have anything else, you can leave. >> the whole investigation of hillary clinton is such a head scratcher and also territory unique in american history. jim comey, it now appears, sort of big footed the attorney general. just went right around her when he was convinced that she had a conflict. >> i'm going to go public myself. >> correct. he was convinced that she as the chief federal law enforcement officer of the land was doing the bidding of the democratic national committee and hillary and bill clinton. if mrs. lynch, attorney general lynch made law enforcement decisions for political purposes, that's called misconduct in office. and jeff sessions, the present justice dental, should investigate her for that. the complaints against comey is that he didn't come public with this in a timely manner. steve: until he got fired. >> it appears why do they testify in secret if somebody is going to leak what the testimony was. but it appears that after that testimony that we all watched

last week, they had a secret session and in that secret session let me tell you what i know about loretta lynch. and that's when that this came out. steve: maybe james comey leaked this himself. >> may be. i do believe loretta lynch is in a lot of hot water. steve: because she was trying to influence the american presidential election. >> correct. in ways far more profound than just terminology. the terminology thing is important. but it apparently goes far beyond that. steve: she had agreed to put the kibosh on any investigation of hillary clinton. don't worry, she'll be fine. extraordinary. >> absolutely. and it may explain why when jim comey said we're not going to ask for her indictment. he laid out all the evidence against her. was that evidence enough to get an indictment? steve, that was enough evidence to get a conviction. steve: no kidding. >> all the best. steve: president trump had his first cabinet meeting yesterday? how did it go.

wants this to get investigated as soon as possible and be done with it so he can continue with the business of the american people. >> now the grilling begins at 2:30 this afternoon. and that's about the same time the president will be in route to wisconsin. we will have to see if he tweets about sessions' testimony. did he not for the record tweet during james comey's testimony. guys. steve: look for a split screen. brian: didn't tweet about anything that happened with james comey on monday. it was about jobs yesterday. steve: meanwhile axios put online what jeff sessions is going to say. is he going to say this arch did he not meet privately with embassy kislyak at the mayflower hotel in april of 2016. did he not initially close the original meeting during the campaign with ambassador kislyak because he was following instructions. that will be interesting to hear. and he will dispute what james comey said last week of the characterization of a conversation they had in the

month of february. which is a big deal because comey gave his account under oath. just as jeff sessions will be at 2:30 this afternoon. brian: then he is going to have to explain about the firing of james comey, what went into that. did you play a role and justify the fact that he did. meaning that he recused himself from the russian investigation. recused himself. to me it's very easy. just because i recuse myself from that element of it doesn't mean i can't judge the overall performance of the fbi director. ainsley: capitol hill last weekend. he was talking about how loretta lynch, the former attorney general under president obama had asked him to down play the hillary clinton email investigation. hey, let's don't call it an investigation. let's calling it a matter instead. but guess what? the information is getting worse. there is new information out this morning, reports are that james comey has more on loretta lynch than that 45-minute tarmac conversation with president clinton. brian: that was the beginning of it add to that, there is rumors that evidently that

james comey may have gotten hold of a memo to the dnc from loretta lynch don't worry there will not be any prosecution of hillary clinton. if that, indeed, is the content of that memo, it was given to lawmakers behind closed doors. steve: so there was a second meeting where he went into loretta lynch's office as fbi director and said, hey, i've got a problem with the way you met bill clinton out on the tarmac. it creates a conflict of interest. and then so they had some exchanges and then he said and by the way, take a look at this. and this is what you were talking about. it was a sensitive document that she did not know that the fbi h and according to circa, it was between two political figures that suggested that lynch was in the tank for hillary clinton. here is sarah carter from circa talking about this bombshell. >> we know that lawmakers were briefed on a meeting that director comey, former director comey had with loretta lynch where he confronted her, not just about the tarmac but about a

sensitive piece of communication. it was a piece of communication between two political figures that basically alluded to the fact that loretta lynch was going to put the kibosh on any type of investigation against hillary clinton. and when he confronted her with that piece of evidence, she basically stared at him and there was a long period as he described it to lawmakers, a long period of steely silence. i thought that was really telling. steely silence. and then she looked up at him and she asked him if there was nothing more he needed to say, then he should turn around and leave the office. ainsley: if all of this is true. let's get this straight. in the first meeting with comey, lynch says no investigation. don't investigate hillary clinton. steve: don't call it that. ainsley: let's call it a matter. then in this document, in this secret document, she said to a political figure, allegedly, she says let's put the kibosh on this. well, james comey doesn't like

the way this is happening. that's why last summer he came forward with that press conference and he talked about hillary clinton and her email and then he decided at the very end he was not going to indict her. brian: he says i'm not going to recommend. no prosecutor would take the case. let the debate begin. the question is why go behind closed doors if all the stuff is going to leak out anyway. we heard talk about this back over of the summer something else there only going to give in closed session, not open session. but it would have justified comey possibly taking the befuddling action that had both sides scratching heir head. judge napolitano says i have an idea, have the current attorney general do something he would be okay gaited to do by his job description. investigate what happened with the old attorney general and hillary clinton. because hillary clinton also was running for president and this would have affected the election that she lost. listen. >> jim comey, it now appears, sort of big fighted the attorney general. just went right around her. he was convinced that she, as the chief federal law enforcement officer of the land was doing the bidding of

the democratic national committee and hillary and bill clinton. if mrs. lynch, attorney general lynch made law enforcement decisions for political purposes, that's called misconduct in office and jeff sessions, the present justice department should investigate her for that. ainsley: all right. so we're going to have a fit over russia collusion we should have a fit over this. same thing. steve: washington, d.c. is afire with suggestion that russia influenced our election. look at this. and it sounds like jim comey is saying, hey, i've got news for you. the past administration influenced the past presidential election. forget about russia. and we don't know, you know, collusion, we don't know that but it sure looks like, according to the former fbi director there was collusion between the department of justice in the form of the attorney general and the hillary clinton campaign. that is, as i depicted earlier, a bombshell. brian: right. we will see if we have another comey day on capitol hill. meanwhile it's jillian time here on our second floor. hey, jillian. jillian: good morning, guys.

so really investing in vocational education, skill-based training. brian: wow. today president trump and ivanka heading to wisconsin that was ivanka yesterday on our show touring a technical training college as part of the white house's push for jobs. there are jobs. do we have the skills? wink governor scott walker will be meeting with the president and his daughter and then having a round table. that will be all happening today. governor, what's the message that you and the president want to relay today? >> well, we have got jobs. and we just need to have people with the skills and the qualifications and the education they need to fill them. this morning, just looking at our state website job center wisconsin.com. we have got 96,901 jobs just listed on that one website alone. so i think ivanka was right yesterday when she said all across america we certainly here in wisconsin we have got jobs. we just need to connect people to the skills and the education they need to fill those jobs. brian: i think when you took over unemployment in wisconsin was 8%. now it's about 3%.

so people watching at home who are lucky enough to have jobs in occupations and careers that they like are wondering what the problem is what happened between the skills needed and the workforce? where did the detachment begin? >> there is a big disconnect particularly in the area of manufacturing. which is why they are focused on apprenticeships and technical education is so important. you are right. down to record lows in terms of unemployment. percentage of people working is one of the highest in the nation. top ten. overall we have more people employed in the state of wisconsin than we have ever had in our state's history. now in manufacturing we need apprenticeships. our youth apprenticeships have more than doubled adult apprenticeships continuing to grow. adult technical education programs. show that off to the president, the secretary of labor and ivanka trump who is going to join with us. then we are going to hear from ruined table of chief executive officers from some the nation's largest companies that are based right here in the state about what more can be done. and i really got to hand it to the president. i asked him about this with

all the other governors back in february. i asked him to make this a priority. that's exactly what they're doing this week. and we're thrilled that one of those key stops is here in wisconsin. brian: a lot of those working class jobs are those people that wanted to put him in to office and helped him win in wisconsin. you said the problem according to one senior administration official. the problem is not money. there are 31 workforce programs spread across 13 different states. it's what type of programs there are i will give you an example of the problem. might be in education. we got an email during the show about this. about school. i taught welding at my local high school for years. they got rid of my program and put in stage lighting for theater. now that might be fine. that's niche, one is broad. correct? >> yeah. that's a huge change in our state. we have opened the door to what we call dual enrollment. put more resources to help with technical education in our technical colleges. one at which we are going to be at today waukesha technical college has a great dual enrollment program. change in the mind set.

we doubled the amount of fab labs. when i talked to the president in february about this it wasn't just using the bully pul pit it was looking at workforce investment program and welfare reform. give more power to the states. allow us to put more emphasis when it comes to hard work and higher education. allow us to streamline those programs, meet the needs that we have in our given states. not one size fits all approach from washington. brian: we only have 20 seconds left. parents used to be embarrassed my kid has to go to college or i'm a failure. that's just not the case. >> no. manufacturing jobs in our state pay 24% more than the typical job. much more likely to have benefits and longer retention rate. there is good careers not just jobs there that can take care of someone and their family for years to come. brian: governor, have a great day today with your former rival, president trump, in wisconsin. and now you guys are tight. >> thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead, a reason to never pop the question in front of a crowd.

replaced sessions in congress republican alabama senator luther strange. good morning to you, senator. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. thanks for having me on. ainsley: you're welcome. tell the folks at home who don't know jeff sessions what he is like as a person. >> i have had the honor and privilege of knowing jeff for over 25 years. he has been a dear friend and mentor. there is no finer person in public service than jeff sessions. literal an eagle scout from young age and conducted himself with the greatest integrity of any public official i have ever met. so america is very fortunate to have jeff sessions as attorney general and i expect him to acquit himself very well this afternoon. ainsley: all right. well, senator, if you look at the headlines, they paint a different picture than what you're describing of the attorney general. the huffington post said in 2016 that he was deemed too racist to be a federal judge. he will now be trump's attorney general. look at that headline there. then we have a few others that we want to put up. slate headline in 2017. say sessions denials are incomplete and unyinszing.

msnbc attorney general jeff sessions can't shake the russia controversy. "new york times" headline trump glows discontented with attorney general jeff sessions and then slate says what does the fbi have on jeff sessions? so does the media have it wrong? >> absolutely the media has it wrong. and i think this is a continuation of a strategy that's been employed since jeff's confirmation hearings. if you recall, it wasn't just a hearing about his views on the rule of law and conservative record. it was really a personal attack on jeff sessions. i think the point of all of that was to delegitimize not only jeff sessions who is one of the finest people in public service but also delegitimize president trump and his agenda because we're not talking about the things that i care about, the people of alabama and the country care about. repealing and replacing obamacare, the president's trip to wisconsin today which is critically important to employment. tax reform. there is so many people voted for and expected us to do. this to me is a huge

distraction from that mission. having said that i'm glad jeff is testifying today. he will acquit himself very well. he will answer the questions. it's time to move onto the things people care about. ainsley: a lot of people agree with you. he is testifying in public because he wants us to hear from his mouth the truth that he says is the truth. what do you think about that? what does it say about his character if he want to do that? >> it says everything about his character. is he not interested in back room testimony or testimony in private. even if that were an option for him. because he is about telling the truth. he wants the american people to hear it. and more importantly, i think it takes out the media that you referenced, the liberal media for sure and interpreting what he might have said. now people get to hear it directly. i think they will be very impressed. ainsley: have you talked to him? do you know what he is planning on saying today? >> i have an idea what he is going to say. my only conversations with jeff have been points of encouragement. thanking him for taking on a very tough job. because he does believe in the rule of law and enforcing our laws, unlike the previous administration, we have seen

decrease in illegal border crossings. more respect for the rule of law which is great for our country. ainsley: we'll be watch being your friend today at 2:30. thank you, senator, for joining us. >> you are welcome. ainsley: advertisers fleeing the new york production of julius caesar after it depicts the killing of president trump. cnn's parent company is sticking to its partnership. rob schmitt has the details just ahead. hud second ben carson just attended first cabinet meeting with entrepreneurship. how did it go? secretary carson joins us on the conservativey couch next. come on in. ♪ yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ ♪ you supported him through four years of undergrad... and medical school. it's no wonder he said, "you don't have to pick me up."

operating officer. we're nominating a cfo. a cio, so we can take the big broader view of things. fix things on a holistic manner rather than just a little spot here and a little spot there. steve: sure. dr. carson, you know as you are trying to help the president pass his agenda, all those people in washington in the swamp. they want to talk about russia and they want to talk about collusion and they want to make sure that you guys don't get anything done. >> well, you know, they can try. but, you know, there is some of us who are pretty laser focused on what we are doing. sort of like when you are in an operating room. it doesn't matter what's going on out there. you are dealing with that particular situation. the nice thing is the cabinet is working across silos. steve: what does that mean? >> it means that this department is working with this department. in the past we have had to create inner agency councils and some of them have been very helpful. that's not nearly as necessary now. because we all know each other. we all work together on a

regular basis. ainsley: i love seeing the cameras in the room. you felt like a fly on the wall. i liked the trans (is i because the voters can see what's happening behind closed doors. i was a little shocked that we are five months into the presidency and this is the first cabinet meeting? is that because the democrat were holding up the confirmations? >> there has been some stonewalling. in a way, it may not be all bad, in my situation, since i don't have my assistant secretary of this, this, and this. i had to learn all that stuff myself. which is helpful actually, to gather all that information and to be able to process it. particularly when it comes to drying to design new and different methods of getting things done. because we're not satisfied just putting people in a dwelling. we need to develop the american -- brian: when the president went with you back to your hometown and saw what it was like for you growing up. i think he was moved by it and the reason why you are in this position. have you a lot of autonomy.

if the president can't produce for the inner city, that will be big promise not delivered. what are you doing? >> we are going to produce. there is no question about that. there are a number of things that we're doing. first of all, creating much easier methods of public-private partnerships. because the money is not in the government. the money is in the private sector. you have to create win-win situations. you look at things like the rad program. rental assistant. leveraging dollars 1 to 1. that's going to make a big difference. we are looking at communities. so, it doesn't do any good to build a big project without having healthcare, without having appropriate types of education. brian: right. >> most importantly, job creation like section 3. it requires that if you are getting federal funding that you hire local people. but there is the skills gap. and that's what they always

say well we don't have the people with the skills. have you a brain though, which means you know a year ahead of time or two years ahead of time you are doing that train the people then so that now you have the skills. that's something that we have to get back to. teaching people basic skills. i used to know that when i was in high school, i knew how to operate a drill press and a lathe and building an electric motor. steve: not anymore. ainsley: you talked about the operating and brain you are a neurosurgeon. let's talk about obamacare. the president and vice president are going to meet with 13 senators today about how they can pass this bill through how they can repeal and replace. >> right. ainsley: when can we see this done? will we see this done in the next year or so. >> i'm very hopeful they will get it done. recognize that the system we have in place right now. maybe people meant well. i don't like to sit around and denigrate people. but the fact of the matter is, we have millions of people who are losing care. who essentially don't have care because their premiums are so high. the deduct tillables are so high.

i didn't think that my destiny was in my own hands. i started reading. i started reading everything. my whole world changed. i have a different view of things now. when people tell me something can't be done, i just say well maybe you can't do it. i don't even think that way anymore. ainsley: you have worked so hard. knowing your background. single mom. several kids. she worked so hard to get you out of housing the government was paying for and you became a neurosurgeon and you are ringing the bell and now you are the hud secretary. >> right. ainsley: what's your message to the people out there that are having a hard time and they want to get a leg up? >> well, couple of messages. number one, the person who has the most to do what happens to you in life is you. nobody else. and the other one is we're all in the same boat. and if part of the boat sinks, the rest of us are going down, too. we need to care about each other. stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated by those people who are trying to drive wedges

some sponsors drop out. ammex saying we are not going to sponsor this. we are still going to support the program. it is a good program. i think a lot of people think they have gone way too far on this. brian: a lot of the banks getting queazy. when banks drop out, people that love the play or hate trump say okay now now i'm not going to bank with you because you boycotted and bailed out of this play. rob: everything is political. brian: thanks shakespeare, appreciate it. ainsley: i have seen a play there. they did make it political. some people were cracking up about it some people were not there was no assassination of the president. there was no beheading of the president. a li far. brian: if you have to see a play, go indoors. let's just go indoors. steve: better than cats. rob schmitt, thank you. brian: 11 minutes before the top of the hour. you have heard from student trump supporters. >> it is a violation of mine and other people's first amendment rights and that's wrong.

on its own narrative continuing this conversation about the russia probe that now seems to be a probe into something else but jeff sessions clearly believes he needs to right the record and knowing him as long as i have known him, he has something significant to say today. i think it is, i think it is going to be, i think it is going to be something everyone is watching. he has to be careful when he testifies but he is not a dummy. he is a smart guy. i think it will be well worth the watch. brian: what i think is so great? the president did not fuel the fire yesterday. he kept it on his message. kept it on his cabinet. therefore the other networks living off his tweets and trying to get storylines from them, have to work and make things up and go off base. it is really becoming clearer and clearer that there is no there there when it comes to collusion. and if he stays on this message, he will make it very difficult for a lot of the enemies in the media. >> i think it's great for the

president to use tweets to talk about the positive aspects of his agenda. brian: yeah. >> i think we need more positive things from the administration. steve: like today. brian: >> this is all good stuff. it will get stepped on quite a bit from sessions but that's okay. things will not turn around overnight. it will take some time for the administration to start righting the ship into the direction of economic renewal, growth, really putting the spotlight back on the never trumpers both in the republican party, many who do not want him to be successful, of course on the far left that want to resist anything he does and ultimately want to remove him from office. more he is the champion of the forgotten man, the theme he struck so brilliantly during the campaign, the more he looks like the beacon and they look like the storm. you want the beacon to be shining really brightly in the middle of a storm. he needs to be the beacon.

we don't want him to be the storm. brian: isn't that what president clinton did? >> president clinton said i will get back to the work of the american people. i know that the president doesn't want to appear he doesn't have anything to hide. bill clinton did have something to hide. president is thinking i didn't do anything wrong. bill clinton was trying to hide something. he wants to defend the defenseless when it comes to the workforce i think this in this case he truly believes this is hurting the country. that is what he believes. so if he believes that, his instinct is to smash back but in this case, let me say as a lawyer who used to practice in this area of the law in federal investigations and big white-collar criminal investigations, less said the better said. less said better said. let the investigation go forward. i would stop talking about it. let the lawyers do their job, and let this proceed, i would hope expeditiously for the sake of the country. that is what he should be doing.

if i were advising him, that is what i would say. ainsley: laura, talk about the loretta lynch bombshell released this morning. first of all we knew james comey said last week that he met with loretta lynch and the first meeting she said let's don't call the hillary clinton emails an investigation, let's call it a matter. today circa news is reporting he met with her again, hey, that meeting with bill clinton on the tarmac, that is a conflict of interest. he hands her a document, it is a highly sensitive document. it was shown communication between two political figures. apparently he hands it to her, i have information that you said you agreed to put kibosh on hillary clinton's investigation. she reads this, looks at document, according to this report. she looks up with a steely silence. it lasted for some time, comey says. asked if he had other business with her? then, she asked, do you have more business with me, if not you need to leave my office. >> think about this. think about how the left, when

it came to the trump meeting with comey, they have no problem inferring an attempt to impede he an investigation when he said i hope you can see an end to this, he is a good guy. comey responds, you know, he is a good guy, talking about the firing. so, think about that. media infers intent to obstruction of the investigation. what about this meeting? if loretta lynch, the attorney general of the united states, looks at a subordinate after shows her a document, i'm dying to know what that document said, or how they intercepted the document. sounds like it is an email communication, shows it to her, and she stares at him, could we infer an implicit threat against comey if he acts on this? steve: sure. >> could we infer she is trying to impede an ongoing federal investigation. they're inferring it about trump? why not infer about loretta lynch?

i think we know the answer to that. steve: everybody in your town is talking about collusion with the russians. there is no evidence so far that happened between the russians and the trump campaign from what we know but this is clear evidence he is showing her this document where it appears to be collusion between her and the hillary clinton campaign to win her the campaign. >> but i'm not letting comey off either. altruistic intentions of jim comey here, i'm going to sweep those aside for a moment because if he had that document, didn't he think he had an obligation to go to the president? did he not think he had an obligation to -- steve: maybe he did. maybe he did. >> maybe he did, well, we have to have, we have to have that examined. next question of course goes to comey's friend, bob mueller, who is the special counsel here. are we going to see bob mueller take this seriously? because now this is being used

apparently according to the reports, this meeting with loretta lynch as his reason for doing that july 5th, non-indictment, but damning, non-indictment of hillary clinton's behavior of email server. everybody said why did you do that at the press conference, that was out of the norm? he apparently according to the reports about this closed-door session last week, because of loretta lynch's reaction to this memo i showed her, this email. we don't know what it was, it was a conversation between two well-placed politicos which seemed to indicate she shut down the investigation. where was comey? why didn't comey take this to the president? if he did, what did president obama do about that? steve: right. >> we don't know. this is what bob mueller would have to investigate. i bet the president if that was done, he will try to claim some executive privilege after the fact. brian: couple things. on may 17th, trey gowdy had something telling in an interview with martha mack.

look at story, he can't give away closed-door meetings, he can't indicate a lot more detail without giving up top secret level he has. very interesting nothing leaks out of that meeting. get leaks constantly from closed doors but we don't get this. chris ruddy, runs newsmax, tight with the president, came out with a story that the president is considering firing robert mueller. the word is now, john rob the abouts reporting this morning that kruse ruddy got that information from watching jay sekulow do a sunday interview. jay never said he would be fired. so the white house pushed back, the president, it is wrong. the president never said that. the president speaks for himself or through sean spicer. dismiss it. front page of "the new york times," what happens if he does that? everybody weighing in. would be worst thing possible. i dare you to do it. now they're running with the storyline. however robert mueller is setting up like the best legal

minds in the country to examine this and some would wonder if he is going to do this, there is reminiscent of his background in the back of his mind he will look to get revenge for james comey on some level. that is the fear among people that want to see the truth come out. >> on the first matter, this is is the fake news. this is an example of establishment media being agenda-driven to drive the president out of office, and being lazy. and being stupid. so that's evil triple of a threat against trump's activity in the media. stupidity, they're a agenda driven and these people are completely lazy. so that is three against the media. chris ruddy, i adore him, he is a friend of mine. he will probably clarify this later today. doesn't matter, even chris ruddy misstated it, got it from the sekulow conversation on the sunday shows, is being cue low is not a lawyer of the president

as "the l.a. times" is reporting this morning. i imagine he will correct that. even if he said that, isn't it incumbent upon the american media to kind of chase it down and to verify whether that's true? no. they didn't do that. because they want to drive the president out of office. let everyone watching this right now understand that there is a concerted effort on the part of some negative very trump percent in the republican caution us on capitol hill, we know who they are, the media and the left to drive the president out of office. it is incumbent upon objective people in the media and smart analysts in the white house itself to keep their eye on the prize. the american people are smart. they see unfairness when, when it exists. this is patently unfair and untrue. this is fake news and shame on all the other cable networks "new york times," "washington post," for going with this. this is fake and false and it is defamatory and it is outrage

attorney general, from talking and consulting with the president about firing james comey. the president has a right to fire james comey and he did. there was no element of that precludes that because it doesn't necessarily touch on the russian investigation. with regards to this alleged meeting at the mayflower hotel, i mean, they both remember it differently and to be honest is this really a big deal? i mean we're talking about the potential obstruction of justice, that is not what we're supposed to be investigating. we're supposed to be investigating collusion. brian: i hear you. he has to have answers for it. steve: brian, let me ask you this, ultimately you said this is a fishing expedition. robert mueller who is special counsel, a long-time associate and pal with james comey. are you okay with him running the investigation? >> well, i think there are problems. i think obviously there are problems with these individuals that contributed to democrats. he is very close with james comey. that creates a conflict of interest.

i'm a little bit uncomfortable with it but ultimately this should be an investigation about russian interference in the american election, not this bogus fishing expedition and this witch-hunt to see if the, if somehow these, jeff sessions and others lied under oath. brian: yeah, you know what? i thought both sides were remark hably non-partisan with comey. you could tell where they stood. i thought they were very professional. they go in front of the same committee today with warner as the ranking member and senator burr as the chairperson. so i expect a lot of that today, especially with a guy they know so well. >> expect a lot of partisanship. republicans will be trying to get to the bottom of russian interference in the election. democrats will make it about 2018 and trying to muddy up the election and beat up on the sessions as proxy war. brian: sorry to cut you off, lastly, do you think it is true
