companies. rachel: good morning, pete. pete: my head was so in the special counsel and collusion mode, griff jenkins, rachel campos duff duffy: griff: if you are just waking up and pouring that cup of coffee. if you only hear one word today it's the word unwitting. that is the key point of this. that these 13 russians that were indicted, they found that there were no knowing, unwitting of the trump campaign. in fact, rod rosenstein had this to say at that press conference. this is the key point. take a listen. >> the indictment charges 13 russian nationals and three russian companies for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in the united states political system. including the 2016 presidential election. there is no allegation in this indictment that any american was a knowing participant. there is no allegation in the indictment that the

charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election. rachel: by the way, i would say these 13 russians will never be facing trial or unlikely to face trial because there is no extradition agreement or treaty between russia. so this is. pete: unless they try to go to disney world or something. that's probably not going to happen. griff: one of them is speaking out this morning. mikael burchett says, quote i am very surprised that in the opinion of the washington court several russian people interfeared in the elections in the united states. i don't know how the americans came to this decision. they have one-sided justice. turns out you can hang the blame on anyone says one of the russians indicted for committing information warfare against our american elections. rachel: this started way back in 2014 under barack obama's presidency. pete: that's exactly what our president, donald trump, tweeted yesterday when this all came out. he tweeted, this russia started their anti--u.s.

campaign in 2014, long before i announced that i would run for president. the results of the election were not impacted, the trump campaign did nothing wrong. no collusion. important point. when you look at this indictment, the disinformation campaign began in april of 2014. continued through and even after the election when they turned their influence campaign against then elected president trump. so it was during the obama administration. it wasn't about the trump candidacy to begin with. it was about hillary clinton. it was anti-hillary clinton, annual at this america. they spent $1.25 million in a campaign that spent billions and billions of dollars. and no impact on the outcome. no collusion. sounded like all right. bob mueller and your special counselor, this is what you've got? all this money, all this time? 13 russians with facebook accounts? rachel: i was going to say the other ironic part of this devin nunes who has been the vein of the existence of the left they have been going after him because he has been trying to uncover the truth way back in 2014 when the

russians started this, he was telling the obama administration hey, there is this russia thing and they were ignoring it. they did nothing about it. griff: let me point out though rosenstein says the special counsel investigation is not over. it's ongoing. presumably they are looking while the trump campaign did nothing wrong, they could still be looking at obstruction of justice. actually ainsly sat down with an exclusive interview with vice president pence that will air on monday. we can give you a by the of yout now. she talks about the mueller investigation. >> what does this mean for the mueller investigation going forward and what was your reaction to this news? >> as you know, our administration has been fully cooperating with the special counsel investigation and we will continue to. there's no question that russia sought to interfere, perhaps with other countries in our electoral process. and absolutely essential that we take action against

individuals who attempted to interfere with our democracy. there's no suggestion that there was any impact on the outcome of the election, despite what these indictments suggest. we're going to continue to work as an administration to make sure that not only our electoral system but all of our institutions are better protected against foreign meddling from russia or any other foreign powers. pete: this entire interview will air on "fox & friends" monday morning after 6:00 a.m. you won't want to miss it. ainsley is on the u.s.-mexico border with the vice president. fascinating interview. that portion about rod rosenstein, about bob mueller, about the indictment, you try to have a little fun, too, in this stuff. we talk about. rachel: i always has fun. pete: russian interference. this is one of the graphics that you may or may not have seen on facebook written by russians. satan says if clinton -- if

i win, clinton wins. jesus says not if i can help it. press like to help jesus win. this is one tid bit of some of the ads. we have looked at a lot of them. if that influence on the outcome of the election. ainsley: i can tel election.ains. rachel: i can tell you this was effective in wisconsin. try this in 2018. come on. pete: amazing. griff: there is a lot more to talk about in that sound bite from ainsley's interview. we have to turn now to the other story. a fox news alert. the fbi failing to investigate teen gunman nikolas cruz after receiving a tip about his erratic behavior six weeks before the florida high school massacre. pete: this as we learned the 19-year-old will reportedly plead guilty if the death penalty is totally off the table. rachel: now, rob schmitt is live from parkland, florida

with the developing details. rob? rob: good morning, guys, the funerals have begun after this horrible tragedy from wednesday. the shocking news that came out yesterday that really just-really shocked everybody in this neighborhood and in this community was the fbi's admission that they had gotten this tip, this rock solid lead had come in to their tip line about six weeks ago, that talked about nikolas cruz, about his gun ownership, about all of these things that could have led to this. and that lead was never passed onto the miami field office. and it is really, really, really looks bad for the fbi. let's go ahead and give you a piece statement that the fbi put out. caller provided information about cruz's gun ownership, desire to kill people, and the potential of him conducting a school shooting. tsh that's as about as good a lead as you can expect for something like this to happen.

here is fbi agent robert lasky with the miami field division of the fbi, the division that never got that tip so that they could follow up on it. and he defends the fbi. >> the potential of the fbi to miss something is always there. we do our best. we have protocols to prevent these things. we will be looking into where and how if something in the protocol broke down. we will come back stronger than we ever were before. rob: it's really bad. but let's go to a statement from the governor here in florida, rick scott. he says we council distantly promote see something, say something. and and a courageous person did just that to the fbi. and the fbi failed to act. the fbi director needs to resign. so we're going to see what the fallout is of this on the fbi and if they are going to figure out who it was that this last happened with. who didn't pass this along within the fbi. and as we talk about that, the first two funerals for

the 17 victims of this horrible crime were yesterday on friday. and we can tell you a little bit about these two young women 18-year-old meadow pollack who was looking to go to lynn university in nearby boca raton and 14-year-old alyssa alhadeff who wanted to grow up and be an attorney. let's listen to their friends at the funeral. >> i was with meadow talking to meadow before the gunman started shooting. it is very sad. at the same time, i know that she is in a safer place now and the angel will be with her. >> it's closure but at this age it really isn't. it was just senseless. these girls shouldn't be here. they should be in school today. rob: it's just a terrible story all the way around. police say the 19-year-old nikolas cruz has confessed and will plead guilty in

this crime if the death penalty is off the table. so, he does not want to have the same fate as the people that he killed here in this school. guys, send it back to you. rachel: thank you, rob. pete: rob schmitt on the scene. obviously a big mistake with huge consequences. huge bureaucracies with tons of tips that called in. they didn't follow up on this one even though it looked like something they should have been following up on. rachel: the president was in florida consoling and at the hospital, by the way, with some of the responders and some of the employees that worked there, the doctors, the first responders. good that he is there but i just can't imagine being a parent of one of these victims, those that died. those that were injured, knowing that there was a credible, specific threat one month ago. the second tip that the fbi had and it wasn't followed up on. it's got to just hurt even more. >> you know, they will never get an answer as to why this happened and having heard all these tragedies in years

past. it is the most difficult job as a reporter to ask parents why. but now they have credible reasons to question the fbi and you will remember, we will talk some more about this, but some instances of the fbi missing things in the job they have. pete: your government is going to make mistakes. you can't always count on the authorities to get it right. rachel: turn now to some of your headlines. chief of staff john kelly ordering an overhaul of the white house security clearance process. kelly outlining the changes in a memo to staff saying we must do better among the changes asking for the fbi to notify the white house about any issues and background checks within 48 hours. limiting access to classified information with people -- for people with temporary clearances and frequent status reports on pending background checks. this comes after criticism over former staff rob porter who had a top clearance despite domestic abuse allegations.

the fate of dreamers in the u.s. could be decided by the supreme court. the nine justices holding a closed door meeting about whether to take up the case. two federal judges blocked the trump administration's move to end daca. the program that protects hundreds of thousands of young adults brought to the u.s. illegally as children. the justices could announce their decision as early as next week. and those are your headlines. pete: i don't love that many of the things end at the court. you just heard about the doj indicting 13 russians for election interference. so what does this mean for the democrats' collusion narrative? we will ask judicial watch tom fitton next. griff: mitt romney speaking out about russia after senate run. get, this he agrees with president trump just ahead. pete: on that, maybe. ♪ we weren't born to

pete: we are back with a fox news alert. the justice department announcing an indictment for russians meddling in the 2016 election. rod rosenstein said there were no signs of u.s. involvement. tom fitton from judicial watch joins us now to discuss the latest. tom, have you followed this start to now. you saw rod rosenstein come out and say no evidence of americans involved. what do you make of the indictment of 13 russians and three russian companies? >> well, some ways it's all due tout sense that summarizes material that's been in the media for some time that the russians were monkeying around with our system by playing on facebook and pretending to be americans involved in our political process. and supporting and opposing candidates.

but not in any way that you can say was ultimately supportive of president trump, when you have the indictment confirming they actually set up rallies, trying to oppose him once he was elected. in the end we have this massive russia investigation, find no collusion with the trump campaign. i don't understand why we are still talking about a special counsel investigating the president in light of this indictment. pete: well, we have known the russians have tried to interfere with our elections since the cold war. they used to try to assassinate our puts. we know the russians are not our friends u in this particular case they weren't propping up then candidate trump. they were going after hillary clinton. they were propping up bernie sanders. they were trying to sow confusion. after all this time, all this money spent on a special counsel, is this what we're going to find or is there any collusion to be found there at all?

look those who say the trump campaign colluded with the russians they are going to interest to start providing evidence other than the clinton dossier. this is what was in the news this week. we had the susan rice email implicating joe biden, barack obama, sally yates, james comey, and susan rice in a conspiracy to get trump on russia. you had information that the number four official at the obama justice department bruce ohr hid information about his relationship with the clinton campaign cash machine, basically fusion gps that was collaborating with russia intelligence to launder dirt against or really the defamatory dirt against president trump into the fbi/doj apparatus u and have you got this indictment of russians abroad. the indictment is really never going to see the light of day trial. it's never going to come here and be tried. never find out whether anything in the indictment is true what would they rather be talking about this indictment where they found despite all of the kings

horses and all the king's men. not one american colluded with the russians when they were trying to play games here in the american political campaigns. pete: i don't think your statement is entirely true. some americans did collude with the russians and it looked like the democrats and the hillary clinton campaign. >> that's true but why -- pete, you are exactly right. but why isn't rod rosenstein holding press conferences about an investigation into that? pete: true. >> why isn't this justice department looking into the abuse of the fisa process? look, the russians were trying to make it clear to the clinton camp that they had dirt on trump and they were going to use it against him and all of that was false trump was victimize you had. and the fbi, rather than protect him, use you had it as a prey text working with the clinton campaign to target him under the corrupt

investigation. this russian indictment shows the russia collusion scandal is over. pete: the special counsel. tell us something that didn't know russia has been trying to interfere in our elections. they have found absolutely nothing on collusion with the trump campaign. tom fitton, thank you. what's the point of see something, say something, if the fbi does nothing? that's the question many people are asking this morning after they failed to follow up on a tip about the florida school shooter. a former fbi agent joins us next. diabetes can be a daily struggle, even if you're trying your best. along with diet and exercise, once-daily toujeo may help you control your blood sugar. get into a daily groove. ♪let's groove tonight. ♪share the spice of life. ♪baby slice it right. from the makers of lantus,

guys. [speaking spanish] friday they failed to act after receiving a call last month from someone close to school shooting suspect nikolas cruz expressing concerns about his erratic behavior and disturbing social media post. >> under normal protocol, this information should have been provided to the miami field office. their appropriate investigative steps would have been taken. >> so what went wrong and how can we prevent this from happening again? here to weigh in counter terrorism agent tim cla men at a. 17 dead. they missed it, why? >> the only thing can i say is the hope that it fell through the cracks. i hope this wasn't something that was done because of laziness. because nobody in a position within the fbi can be lazy. you can't be. the people trust and rely on

the fbi. premier law enforcement agency. horrific thing to hear the crime itself was horrific and compounded by the fact or actually happened because of the fact that an agent somewhere or somebody within the fbi did not do their job. heads need to roll on this. this is a completely unacceptable. and the only thing i can think is that maybe somebody thought they had done the proper communication and proper notification. in fact, it was not done. i'm hoping it wasn't beyond just negligence that it wasn't something more adversarial like somebody was -- we have so much politics going on in the bureau. especially in middle and you were management. it's understandable that there is going to be cracks in the system because there is a very, very, very large lack of leadership between the director and the street agents that needs to be -- needs to be fixed very quickly and very publicly for the fbi to ensure the american public that they

are doing what they should be doing. rachel: what's frustrating in the situation is the american citizens, the students people calling into the tip lines, the blogger they did what the fbi and police tell them to do in these situations what county fbi do at this point to make sure this never happens again. what systems need to be in place. >> we need a system of checks and balances that would take out response to these calls outside just the purview of the fbi. it should be local authorities, state authorities, mental health officials. what needs to be done is create a whole new 911 system for these types of threats where you think it's a las vegas type shooter a school shooter, a small mall shooter, a church shooter. anywhere where have you mass public threat there should be a system where somebody calls a toll free number, whatever it is like a 911 that then alerts the local, state, federal authorities and also healthcare professionals so that everybody can then look at the other agency and say are

you doing anything? are we doing anything? what could they be doing so that there is a little more accountability for a situation like this. unfortunately this information needs to be dealt with iment immediately. this tip came within a matter of weeks of of this psychotic young man killing several individuals in a school. innocent people died. if there had been more people responsible for that information the greater likelihood that somebody would have seen it wasn't being responded to properly by the fbi and if they could have been held their feet to the fire. griff griff rush limbaugh weighed in on this. maybe this fell through the cracks because the fbi is so focused on other things. here is what rush limbaugh had to say about it. >> is it possible, ladies and gentlemen, you will that the fbi may not have the resources to deal with complaints like this? how many people at the fbi are still trying to prove that trump colluded with

russia? hillary clinton and the democrats have the fbi so occupied tracking down something that didn't happen, they may not have the resources to pull this kid off the street. >> kimtim, what do you say to that. >> i would say russia is the greatest communicators in the history of communication. what he is say something partially true. when you can have guys like peter strzok lawyers like lisa page, administrators like mccabe at the top of the fbi, very, very, very politically active and acting not like objective observers and investigators to try and find the truth, which is what the mission of an fbi agent is. not to put people in jail, not to do anything other than to find the truth. they weren't seeking the truth. they were looking for political things. they were looking for political flaws in their enemies. their political enemies so they can go after them. doing that you cannot be at the same time maintaining the security of the american

people. rachel: well, tim, thank you so much no consolation for those families in that. very interesting thoughts, you are absolutely right about that. thank you for joining that today. >> thank you, tim. >> you're welcome. rachel: president trump says robert mueller's 13 indictments handed to russian nationals convinced indicates him. dan bongino joins us next to talk about that. griff: and a school district pulls its high school graduation from a church over a cross. the growing controversy just ahead. mom and dad got a new car...

dan, thanks for joining us this morning. big indictment from the mueller camp of 13 russians and three russian companies. what do you make of it? >> there's a lot here, pete. so let me just start off, first, by saying i fully realize that nothing i say, you say, or anybody else says is going to change liberal minds. they are absolutely convinced there is a big collusion conspiracy here. and i get it your skulls are 6 feet thick. you're committed to. this you think the president is guilty of treason. i get nothing. i'm saying that's going to change that i'm just telling you, you are living in a fantasy land. there is no collusion now. there was no collusion yesterday. there was no collusion last year. there was no collusion that's going to happen tomorrow. there is no collusion. read the indictment. even worse, pete, one more point of this, if you read number 53, line 53 of the indictment, they are lined out -- pretty easy to see. you will see that they actually had groups up there that were support hillary,

save american muslims. these were actual names of groups, these russians supported. there is no collusion. you're just making it up. rachel: also i will say that in the indictment there was no mention of the dossier which has done more to disrupt american politics than these really stupid ads that we saw, these facebook ads that we saw come out of this indictment. >> right. now, rachel, i'm glad you brought that up. because although there is categorically no collusion with the trump team and these russians, you can't unwittingly collude, okay? it's not possible. if you understanding the definition of collusion, you can't unwittingly collide. it makes no sense. wake up, smell the coffee, okay? but you bring up a critical point. there clearly was some form of collusion with this dossier and russians. there is no question about that. that information came from two places in the dossier. russians and clinton

consiglieres who information laundered it through the justice system. griff: dan, i want you to react to your friend and minority leader of the house nancy pelosi. this was her statement. we will put it up now. desperately as president trump insists that the special counsel investigation is a hoax, these latest indictments build on multiple guilty pleas and indictments of several trump campaign officials demonstrating the gravity of the trump-russia scandal. we are on the eve of the 2018 midterm elections. there is no time to waste to defend of the integrity of our elections and our democracy: what do you say, dan? >> do you understand you're being lied to? i really mean. this like, i have worked for barack obama for a long time as a secret service agent. i categorically was against just about every one of his policy prescriptions. i would never accuse this man of something serious like treenge o treason or collun even now he is out of office if i didn't have hard evidence.

the former speaker of the house and minority leader, nancy pelosi goes out there and just disgraces herself, the country, her office, her party, and anyone around her by continuing to knowingly by the way and wittingly, unlike this collusion scandal, lie to the american people about a collusion scandal that never happened is so disgusting, that it's hard for me to discuss without using fcc banned words. that's how upset i am about this thing. pete: can you do that on your podcast but not here, dan. if you look at the doj indictment. the disinformation campaign from the russians on twitter and only spent $1.25 million in an election where billions were spent, it began in april of 2014. remember, president trump is not president in 2014. barack obama is. what does it say about the failure to act of that administration when they saw the warning signs about russia trying to, i don't know, discredit our electoral process?

>> they sit back -- they sat back, pete. they sat on their hands, the obama administration. they did nothing. and, do you know what people forget? there's an interesting sound bite out there when obama when he was just leaving office, when they asked him about this in a presser during the transition in this russian attack on our republic which by the way did happen. nobody is disputing that to be crystal clear. we are just saying it had nothing to do with the trump team. they didn't collude. obama says in the presser. i'm paraphrasing a bit. he did say this wasn't some some of a sophisticated attack or anything. in other words, trying to distance his administration from the blame, i think they knew they would take later. but you are asking a legitimate question and i don't say this to spark some partisan war. this was a serious and more than credible hit the russians tried to do. but where was the obama team? where were they? were they so concerned with the re-set that they didn't want to insult the russian's delicate sensibilities so

they sat back and did nothing? pete, that's a very legitimate question. people like adam schiff and nancy pelosi and hyper partisans need to look in the mirror at. pete: he did comment on the end of the presidency and could be very revealing as always, dan bongino, illuminating us this morning. rachel: 6:40 in the morning and have you this much energy. that's why you are our favorite guest. >> a lot of coffee. rachel: i want to drink what is he drinking u. rachel: all right. turning now to your headlines. mitt romney speaking out on russia just hours after announcing his astronaut run in utah. >> i agree with the president that they didn't determine the outcome here in our nation in any way. but, what they have done is unacceptable. i'm glad that they're being held accountable. and, believe that without question that russians are trying to interfere with the principles of elected

democracy and that's got to end. rachel: romney running for the utah senate seat that will be vacated by orrin hatch who is retiring. pete: oh good another never trumper. can't wait. rachel: backtracking on statements after claiming the former high school was -- calling his identification of nikolas cruz a, quote, misunderstanding. his response coming out after law enforcement agencies that i have is no evidence of cruz's involvement with a white supremacist organization. pete: but they ran with it for a while. fake news. rachel: texas school district will no longer hold its graduation ceremonies at one of the largest mega churches in the country. preston wood baptist minister saying it's because they refused to remove the cross in their sanctuary. this after a group of atheists complained about the public school system using a christian church. ending more than a decade tradition for the mckinney school district.

and those are your headlines. by the way, remember, georgetown when president obama went to visit georgetown university, which is a jesuit catholic university, he requested to have the crosses covered, georgetown complied. this church saying no, we are not going to cover it and now have you this controversy. pete: good for them. i love when we rip more god out of our country. always goes well. griff: i like hearing from mitt romney. pete: i was sarcastic. griff: byron york, jason chaffetz and sara carter here live. pete: plus joy behar you know her and love her getting slammed for attacking vice president mike pence over his faith. >> one thing to talk to jesus. it's another thing when jesus talks to you. [applause] that's called mental illness if i'm correct. pete: jesus also talked to oprah but they didn't talk about that. how do christians feel about that. lawrence jones visited saint patrick's cathedral and he tells us what he found out coming up next.

american was a knowing participant. there is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election. pete: as dan bongino pointed out. you cannot unknowingly collude. ultimately if i step back from. this you said 13 months of the trump administration. 13 months gigantic special counsel all this conversation. 13 russians with twitter and facebook accounts. rachel: all this money and time wasted. pete: totally. obsession of news outlets in this city going wall-to-wall and russian collusion. it turns out they put up some facebook posts and a million dollars worth in a campaign where billions and billions are spent. which is why the president came out yesterday after this news and tweeted. this he said russia started their anti-u.s. campaign in 2014. long before i announced that i would run for president. the results of the election were not impacted. the trump campaign did nothing wrong. no collusion. griff: here's the thing. it's not other of the

rosenstein saying the russia investigation continues. now the question is what happens next? will president trump issue sanctions? you are seeing democrats, the president left the white house, reporters yelling will you sanction. pete: you mean the democrats were yelling that the reporters leftist who are democrats? they are all democrats if. griff: fair question. congress has said we got, we have known for a long time. pete: why didn't obama do anything. griff: confirm what we knew all along. pete: why didn't obama do anything. he knew about it in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. rachel: he said the 80's wanted their foreign policy back. he never thought the russians were a problem. also missing from this indictment is anything on the dossier. this is a dossier that was paid for by the hillary clinton campaign by the d.c. they used russians to collude and get this information. feed this false, fake information to the fbi, to the doj in order to get spy on the trump campaign that

did more to disrupt the american political system. pete: the democratic investment in the narrative is what blew this up more than anything else. rachel: have you no collusion. have you no investigation or curiosity on the part of the mueller team into the dossier. so what the heck have they been doing all this time? rachel: why are we spending all this time and money when we know the fbi could be doing better things like protecting our children after school? pete: they did uncover this though. did we have one of the facebook posts put up by one of those russian bots? rachel: these ads are hilarious. pete: here is one president trump with his thumb up make america great again. join florida. they held rallies against trump. there is also this one here. satan, if i win, clinton wins, jesus not if i can help it. press like to help jesus win. so if that was what influenced the outcome of our election,

and make us uneffective. rachel: the democrats want to continue on until the election and this indictment shows no collusion. end of story. move on, everybody. pete: absolutely. we take about the fbi and investigations. we have another fox news alert for you as well. the fbi failing to investigate a tip about accused gunman nikolas cruz just six weeks before the florida high school massacre. rachel: this as we learn the 19-year-old will reportedly plead guilty if the death penalty is totally off the table. griff: rob schmitt is in parkland, florida with the details u good morning, rob. rob: good morning, guys. it's just a terrible story. the funerals have begun and big shocker that came out yesterday was that the fbi had this tip about six weeks ago. somebody called and said hey, i think this kid could be a school shooter. that tip never got passed along to their south florida office. it is really unbelievable. the fbi doing a full confession yesterday sending out a memo that red in part

the caller provided information about cruz's gun ownership. desire to kill people. and the potential of him conducting a school shooting. so they had it all out there in front of them and never got passed along. here is robert lasky who works for the miami field office. he defends the fbi. >> the poo fbi something there. we do our best. we have protocols to prevent these things. we will be looking into where and how if something, the protocol broke down and we'll come back stronger than we ever were before. rob: can you imagine how upsetting this news is for the families of the victims of all of this. and governor rick scott, the governor of florida came out with a statement pretty hard on the fbi as well. we constantly promote see something, say something. and a courageous person did just that to the fbi and the facebook failed to being a. the fbi director who is christopher wray needs to resign. and as i said, the funerals, there will be 17 of them. the first two were yesterday

to you. rachel: thank you, rob. powerful stuff. look at these beautiful faces when they put the pictures of young teenagers, i have teenagers, have you teenagers, griff. your heart just breaks. imagine being a parent and knowing a month ago, a little over a month ago, the fbi received a credible, specific threat or tip telling them that there was a threat to the school. and nobody did anything. this is just got to hurt even more. griff: you saw in rob's report there, governor scott calling for wray's resignation. christopher wray the head of the fbi has only been there two months. i had a conversation with somebody who worked with him at his law practice before he was in the fbi known him for 25 years. this is a straight guy, he is not a political guy. is he a yale undergrad. yale law degree. he is the most serious and most he had kateed guy in the room very offensive. so perhaps the calls are premature for him to see sign to give him a chance to undo the problems. because as we have pointed out all morning it, wasn't

just this case. unfortunately, rachel. it was time and time again the shooting that happened in the fort lauderdale airport. went in and said i have voices in my head and nothing happened. pete: in pete: big mistakes were made. somebody ought to be held accountable. rachel: wray has been there two months. pete: hard to pin it to the head of the fbi but someone ought to be held accountable. the president was down there talking to families and victims as a commander-in-chief should saying hey, we are going to do whatever we can and certainly hearts and minds with everyone there. rachel: beautiful images there. turning to headlines. chief of staff john kelly ordering overhaul of the white house security process. kelly outlining the changes in a memo to staff saying we must do better. among the changes asking the fbi to notify the white house about any issues in background checks within 48 hours. limiting access to classified information for people with temporary clearances. and frequent status reports on pending background checks.

it says the enforce began in 2014. no americans had knowledge of the so-called russian operation. rachel: so where does the probe go from here? pete: here to discuss is chief political correspondent for "the washington examiner" and fox news contributor byron york. byron, we have been covering this story all morning long. indictment of russians, no collusion with americans. what does it say about the special counsel going forward? >> well, it says that he is basically established what has been reported in the press quite a bit and certainly what both intelligence committees in congress already know. which is that there was this trolling operation in place in russia. it did start in 201414 before any of the 2016 candidates had actually been picked. it focused a lot on disrupting our system. i do think they enjoy the fact that we have all gone so crazy about this stuff. it was special directed at hillary clinton. if they could by supporting

jill jill stein. trump, they were happy to do that. when the unthinkable happened, donald trump won. because the russians did not expect him to win like no other commentator here expected him to win. they started to disrupt in their own fashion in a new way when they staged those rallies in new york. one of which was a support president trump rally. the other which was a donald trump is not my president rally. rachel: byron, my sister worked for the cia for 10 years. she said this is just what the russians do. why should would he be so shocked by what we are hearing in this indictment? >> that is great question. if you look at the statement that devin nunes, the house intelligence committee chairman released yesterday. it was one big "i told you so." he pointed to an article that he wrote in 2014 about how the russians were always trying to do this kind of stuff. now, did the invention of social media, the spread of social media give them more

opportunities to do it? it certainly did. but, as you pointed out, there is a couple things that are important about this indictment. it says there was no -- they don't name any american involved at all. they don't say any american had any whiting involvement in it they don't talk about any sort of collusion with members of the trump campaign. pete: byron, how much is this about how in the world could donald trump win, explaining somehow the inexplicable amongst the so-called mainstream media, democrats and other in our intelligence communities? is that obsession the core of this? >> well, it certainly is on the part of former clinton supporters who, as we know, immediately the day after the election began searching for some sort of narrative that would explain their candidate's failures. there is no downtow doubt about that. bigger picture on trump investigation is there has

always been two parts of the trump-russia investigation. it's what did russia did part which is an in which there is a lot of bipartisan support on capitol hill to find out what they did and things like that are outlined in this indictment plus the hacking, that kind of stuff. there is that element and then there is the get-trump element of the russia investigation. that's what drives the president crazy. that's why he is always tweeting no collusion, no collusion. that is what has driven the investigation on capitol hill. pete: you are right. rachel: the indictment certainly seems to point to no collusion. it will be interesting to see what the democrats do with this information. thank you, byron. >> thank you, folks. rachel: you got it. a new debate is emerging after the florida school shooting. should teachers carry guns. pete: one trained staff members and he joins us next. in the 2018 lexus es and es hybrid.

intervention doesn't work, what are we going to do? do you know that there is gun control on every campus in florida and i would submit across the united states that you can't bring a gun on campus and no one does, except for the crazed person, the active shooter. there has to be a line of defense. it's not something we want to do, it's something we have to do. and we have developed a program, we don't give a gun to just anyone. but we go through the staff and we look to see who has the clean background and in addition to that we do psychological evaluations. then we do great amounts of training, even more than the florida police standards require, and only then will i make them special deputy sheriffs. i have presented this plan to the governor, and to the state legislature. the legislature is in session right now. we want to see if the

florida legislature cares as much about the children of this state as we do. griff: sheriff, it's against the law in florida to carry a gun on a college campus. take me back to what you think would have been different possibly in this shooting if a program like yours were in place? >> i think everything could have been different. and there is no absolutes in life. i can tell you, this at least two coaches were killed standing in front of and trying to protect kids. don't you believe it would be a game changer if they had a gun to defend the children? i do. here's the basic math. the average shooter is finished with his evil deed in two to five minutes. we study these things. in fact, in broward county it was three minutes. the average police response is plus 5 minutes. when 911 is called, the shooter is on the campus reeking havoc, that's too late. we have got to wake up, wake

up and understand that we have to have more than one, that we have to have specially trained people that have conceal firearms that can run to the threat and protects our children. they are our most important resource. i submit to you there is not one parent that wouldn't have taken a gun and run on to that campus that day in order to save those children. all we're saying is let us screen. pete: sure. >> the staff. find the ones that have past military experience, past law enforcement experience that are avid gun handlers anyway. let us identify them. pete: we only have 10 seconds, do you think florida will take this up and do it statewide briefly? >> i can tell you i talked to the governor yesterday afternoon, he said we're going to do something. but we still have south florida legislators that would rather your children be at risk than save their

yeah, mitt romney was actually right. rachel: jason -- i should say congressman, why. >> or jason. rachel: okay, jason. why is it that obama only seemed to care about the russians after trump won the election? i mean, that's what it looks like, right? >> look, yeah, nobody thought that donald trump was actually going to pull this off. and he won by a huge margin. and, look, i think the russians wanted to sow discord within the united states no matter what. they were playing both sides of the coin. they were playing, you know, implicating bernie sanders in some things. they were supportive of rubio and cruz. they just want -- they just want distrust throughout the united states. in many ways they actually kind of achieved that. rachel: obama actually -- the democrats actually helped move that narrative forward because they latched on to this. >> yeah. and, look, i want to be -- i want a note of caution here.

the mueller investigation is not over. i do think -- i was glad to see that there was no american knowingly and willingly participating in this based on this indictment. but, the mueller probe does continue. and it will be fascinating to see where that goes next. >> let me ask you though. started with romney. you are from utah. what do you make of his running for senate? >> look, i think if he were to win, he would be an exceptional candidate. he was a great presidential candidate. he will do exceptionally well in utah. a lot of ties here. and but he will be formidable. the question i think he needs to answer for utah though why is he doing. this he joked that running for president not utah for senator. which i thought was cute. if is he there to be an instigator against president trump, a think a lot of us

in utah would be very concerned about that. to hear him talk about it, he believes that in making america great, you have to instill the goodness of the american people. and he says that he wants to take the utah values and implore them into his work in washington, d.c. to ethics tent i think he would be very effective u. pete: we'll see. you watch his announcement video multiple barely veiled swipes at president trump. he has been a vowed never trumper. why should americans believe geg to go to washington and support the president's agenda? won't he be another jeff flake? >> i hope that he is able to talk to utah voters up and down the whole front out in the rural communities here in utah and really talk to them about why is he doing this? and to the extent that he agrees with the president. i hope he would help champion those. if he disagrees with the president on policy u then he should articulate that. that's what i think every

senator should be doing. but, at the same time, if he is just going there to be an instigator. i have talked to him. i have worked with him. i don't think that's what he is going to do. but, you know, i think there might be some other people that will get in the race and question this. and ask him why are you running for the united states senate? rachel: is there support for him right now? a lot of support? yes? no? >> i mean, look, he is one of the favored sons of utah. he is wildly popular. there is talk that somebody else would get. in we'll see. thank you, congressman. griff: already being called a carpet bagger. pete: another senator who want to run for president. surprise. rachel: changing do not disturb policy. caesar's palace soon check its guest rooms every 24 hours. even if they have a sign hanging on the doorknob. this is just the latest hotel to adopts new policies after the las vegas massacre where a gunman killed 58 people during a country concert.

network. manning will drive the pace car in daytona's 500 which airs on fox. pete: i think manning can do whatever he wants. griff: speaking of the daytona 500 our very own rick reichmuth is live from daytona with a preview. he is joined by legendary driver jimmy johnson. rick, what are you guys up to? >> griff, it's pretty amazing. i have been covering this race i think this is my 11th year coming here. i have never interviewed jimmy jonsson so thank you for being up with us this morning. >> great hanging out. rick: in the list of racers certainly the guys right now, you are at the top. >> top, yeah, i guess getting close on age and our stats and success we have had on track has been amazing too. amazing how fast time goes. rick: i was referring to success not age. you brought it up so i will go with it. you are 42 now. which is getting up there a little bit. can you race for a long time. how much longer can do you this and also you still feel like you are competitive.

you haven't lost anything. >> no. i think our sport really benefits maturity and experience. so i certainly have more of that than most in the field right now. and i really work hard to keep my body sharp and mind as well. so, i have got at least three more years. i have signed a contract extension through 2020. hopefully we can get that eighth championship if not more. rick: eighth champ i don't know about like year end champion you have bon won daytona twice. how do you feel going into this season. you didn't have a great season last year. was that just a fluke and you are back on ready for this year? >> yeah the second half of last season wasn't what we wanted on the lowe's car and certainly here at motorsports through the off season there has been a lot of change going on and i feel lining we are going to be much more competitive this year. see if we can start off with a win in daytona. a race here is different than a lot of races. i have already used up two race cars in the clash and

duels. third car in daytona 500. hopefully we don't get caught up in anything doing. this. rick: you are from san diego which is not that typical of a place to start in racing. how old were you when you started and then if you have been doing that long how do you ever give it up. >> i started riding dirt bikes. my parents owned a motor sport shop. that was my entry. i never thought nascar would be the place for me especially in 70's and 80's it was east coast. my journaly through racing and involvement with chevrolet led me to nascar and east coast and now nationalized sport and turned out to be great for me. rick: you have been great for the sport. thank you for being with us this morning and wish you the best of luck today -- or tomorrow. thank you. send it back to you. rachel: thanks, rick. pete: all down hill after an interview like that. griff: jimmy johnson, wow, unbelievable. democrats say democrats are totally abandoning dreamers as immigration debate hits a wall in the senate. so what happens next?

surf board on the wall. i had nothing to do with that. doesn't seem like congress knows what's next on this one. unclear what immigration measure could pass the house, the senate, gain the approval of the white house. the president says he is giving congress until march 5th to address daca. it's obama era program. the trump administration is phasing out it protects from deportation about 700,000 brought to the u.s. illegally as children. the white house offered a deal and is now blaming democrats for this failure. >> goes beyond actually what president obama had and his daca policy. goes beyond what even some people who favor the daca expected. >> top senate democrat dick durbin tweeted in part give me a break. you killed daca and have now rejected six bipartisan deals to protect dreamers. we could pass the dream act today if you simply called on the republicans who control congress to support it. the white house proposal would provide a path to citizenship for 1.8 million brought to the country

illegally in exchange for billions for a border wall and security. stricter enforcement of immigration laws and stronger limits on family-based or so-called chain migration. it would also end the visa diversity lottery system. congress is also working on a government funding bill needs to pass by march 23rd. this issue could very likely be brought into those negotiations again. griff: nice job, roommate. rachel: listen, i love this tweet that the president sent out. this is why he should never give up twitter. he absolutely nailed it the republicans are fighting for daca. they are fighting to secure the border. they are exactly where the american people are at. the president's plan is great. the republicans are debating. the democrats, they are doing nothing. they are just all talk. pete: what do you think about saying don't take a bad deal. take it to the 2018 mid terms on immigration. rachel: sure. pete: if you want the plan vote for republicans.

griff: not dead yet the goodlatte bill which most resembles the four pillars goes to the house. rachel: and needs to stop. pete: stunning statistic swept the evening newscast. >> 18th just this year. >> just this year already 18 school shootings. there were seven last year. griff: the problem that number is wrong. so does spreading information like that headquarter hurt the chance for action on guns? david webb is weighing in next. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide.

prevagen. the name to remember.

rachel: after wednesday's deadly school shooting in florida this stunning statistic from gun control group every town for gun safety. that's the name of the group. swept across the internet and the evening newscast.

>> the shooting by one count, the 18th just this year. >> this year there have already been 18 school shootings. there were seven by this time last year. >> this horrifying shooting in florida marks the 18th time that gunfire has erupted on a school campus in america just since the start of this year. pete: problem with that, lester, the statistic was wrong. does this rhetoric and spread of misinformation like this hurt any chance of real action to stop school shootings? here to react, fox news contributor and radio talk show host david webb. so, david, you hear this number 18, sounds big in a year. only a month and a half old. but why is it tee receiving? >> actually, it's a flat out lie. and we need to look at this. and i urge everyone to watch or rather go read "the washington post" story that gave it four pinocchios. they combine and conflate numbers to create a statistic under a headline around what is a horrible tragedy in order to push an

agenda. and it flies right into the narrative if a lie goes around the world 10 times before the truth. and it was repeated by bernie sanders, by cher, by others. it's not willful ignorance. it's deliberate ignorance. because they never tackle the real issue that needs to be looked at into the people that are doing this and committing these kinds of acts. instead we are talking about the numbers. the democrats fundraising on this. simple examples, pete you know this as well as you do, rachel. they talk about weapons of war no one has gone to war with a single shot semiautomatic rifle sips world war i. army uses it. that's not the issue. they are deflecting, they are distracting. they are conflating shootings that happen outside of school hours. happens to be near a school. it is a flat out lie. pete: let me read a couple of those briefly. january 3rd a man killed himself in the parking lot of an elementary school that had been closed for seven months there were teacher as

are students on site. january 10th grayson college a student mistook a firearm mistook it for a practice weapon and fired it into a wall. no one was injured. february 5th minnesota 3rd grader pulled a gun on a police officer while an officer was sitting on a bench. no one was killed or injured. these are counted in the 18. rachel: what happens. we see this misleading information. we have a very serious problem. of the whole country wants to know what to do. how does putting out this kind of false information affect the conversation we should be having? >> well, what it does is it hypes it, it overhypes it as a matter of fact, rachel. people suddenly start arguing over the numbers. by the way, you know, for comparison because if we want to use a numbers approach to this, where is the outrage over what has happened since wednesday and now in chicago and baltimore and everywhere? we are not just talking about deaths. they are talking about shootings as a whole. and then have you got stabbings, you have got crime. you got to attack the issue of crime and the use of

illegal weapons. those lives are just as valuable. when they incident like this absolute tragedy. 17 versus the hundreds gets magnified into the thousands and we never get to that real discussion of mental health and other key issues or, you know, do we have to have some new kind of way to watch for the pardon the expression, the triggers that may drive someone to do this. rachel: here is a statement for every town for gun safety it says every time gunfires or breaks out on school grounds. it can shatter a child's sense that they're safe in their school and in their community. tracking each of these incidents is an important way to measure some of the many ways that shootings affect children in this country. >> to go to pete's example of a 2:00 a.m. gun, a discharge, i forget exactly which one. there were so many things. by the way in a very well stated article. give them credit for this. i urge everyone to read it what is -- how does a 2:00 a.m. incident affect a child at school? how can you determine that outcome? it may have no effect at

all. pete: it's a data point in search of an agenda as part of an agenda as you pointed out. david webb, thank you for breaking it down for us. rachel: thank you, david. pete: president trump says bob mueller's 13 indictments are a nothing. we'll bring it to you.

about six weeks ago. >> heads need to roll on this. this is completely unacceptable. >> the president and his wife in broward county, florida. >> this is a very sad something like that can happen. >> the doctor was amazing and first responders, everybody, the job they've done is incredible. pete: welcome to the nation's number one cable morning television program "fox & friends." on a saturday morning. and we come in with breaking news this morning. no collusion, the president has said time and time again. while an indictment, 13 indictments actually from bob mueller's office say a lot about indictments but nothing about americans. it's the russians that are being indicted this morning. i'm on the couch with no russians. rachel: i'm not russian. pete: only americans. rachel campos duffy and griff jenkins. griff: we are colluding over here. rachel: we are colluding. pete: they have been colluding against me all morning i'm going to file a complaint.

griff: look at those faces we are guilty as charged charged. pete: you are. griff: you bring up a good point. don't get dressed. stay in bed. bring you the news. if you only hear one thing, hear this. that is this shows that the trump administration did nothing wrong. it goes even farther saying that no american, knowingly participated in any collusion. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. >> the indictment charges 13 russian nationals and three russian companies for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in the united states political system. including the 2016 presidential election. there is no allegation in this indictment that any american was a knowing participant. there is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election. rachel: didn't change the outcome of the election. if you are a democrat and you saw this indictment come out, you are waiting for the mueller investigation to come out with this big

bombshell and what you get is no collusion by the way confirming what dianne feinstein and james clapper said before. now you have the mueller team saying no collusion and no effect on this election. pete: absolutely. the president, of course, reacting with a statement of clarity saying this over twitter. russia started anti-u.s. campaign in 2014. long before i announced that i would run for president. the results of the election were not impacted. the trump campaign did nothing wrong. no collusion. you know, it's so important to point out disinformation campaign from the russians which we have all known about started in april of 2014 before trump was even a candidate. we know russia hated hillary clinton. we know they wanted to sow disinformation. if anyone attributed to their ability to affect the perception of the integrity of our electoral system it's been democrats who have pushed. rachel: and the media. pete: same thing. pushing a fake collusion narrative for the last 13 months. we get 13 months of that

stuff rammed down our throats from numerous in our place and get 13 russian bots posting facebook posts and twitter accounts and three companies. russians never come here, never face charges and rod rosenstein stands there in the suit we got them, guys. rachel: embarrassing, actually. griff: time-out, rosenstein also pointing out at the conference it's not over, the rosenstein investigation continues, democrats are saying very loudly, we told you this was coming. there is connections to the trump campaign and ultimately what we would presume is going to continue is whether or not there were any obstruction of justice moments. pete: well, yeah, they met met more if a sized int size met moa sized into that. rachel: collusion of the russians in the dossier. dirty dossier with false information about donald trump that was used to spy on americans that was paid for by democrats and the dnc, the hillary clinton campaign, and where is that? >> bret: hold your breath while we wait to see if they ever get to that please

don't do that we like you a lot. anxiously earhardt she is often johnny on the spot for us. she had the right interview at the right time. a "fox & friends" exclusive with vice president mike pence. it's going to air in full on monday. but we pled with her to get a few crumbs, you might say, for this saturday on "fox & friends." and she had some great portions with the vice president about rob rosenstein and these indictments. listen. >> what does this mean for the mueller investigation going forward and what was your reaction to this news? >> as you know, our administration has been fully cooperating with the special counsel investigation. and we will continue to. there is no question that russia sought to interfere, perhaps with other countries in our electoral process. and absolutely essential that we take action against individuals who attempted to interfere with our democracy. there's no suggestion that there was any impact on the outcome of the election.

despite what these indictments suggest. we're going to continue to work as an administration to make sure that not only our electoral system, but all of our institutions are better protected against foreign meddling from russia or any other foreign powers. griff: that is a key sound bite right there. because what we are going to wait and see what happens is whether or not the president, this administration, will bring sanctions against russia in the wake. pete: by the way that whole interview will air on monday at 6:00 a.m. on "fox & friends." don't miss it. other great nuggets in there you are saying trump should have sanctioned russia? what about obama? we know this started in 2014, 2015. what about clabber? what about brennan? what about comey. rachel: what about mueller? he was there too. pete: what about obama? what did our sage president obama had to say in 2016 about all this dangerous russian meddling. play the vh is videotape. >> what is it about our political system that made

us vulnerable to these kinds of potential manipulations which as i have said publicly before were not particularly sophisticated. this was not some elaborate complicated espionage scheme. rachel: you actually agree with obama for once. pete: we all do. not elaborated or so he fois at this indicated. we pulled up the facebook posts that the russian trolls pulled up effected our message. satan clinton if you win, i win. jesus not if i can help it press like to help jesus win. that's the sophisticated spending millions of dollars and special counsel on to get to the bottom of it turns out americans posed at twitter and rod rosenstein. is that what you got bob mueller is that? is that it? i mock it because it's offensive. it's absurd that we spent this amount of time and this is what we get. obama told him. rachel: this amount of money by the way. this has got to be so upsetting to the democrats.

they wanted to carry this cloud over donald trump all the way through to the mid terms. hopefully even to the next presidential election. this shows no collusion and now, you know, we are looking at these kind of silly, ridiculous, embarrassing ads. this has got to be a downer for them. pete: only themself. rachel: only collusion is the dossier. griff: we have got to turn now to a fox news alert. ♪ griff: the fbi failing to investigate a tip about accused gunman nikolas cruz just six weeks before the florida massacre. pete: our own rob schmitt in parkland, florida with the details. good morning, rob. rob: it was a bombshell that came out yesterday about six weeks ago a tipster called the fbi saying that this kid, nikolas cruz could be a school shooter and that tip somehow got lost in the mix. never made it to the south florida field office here of the fbi where it could have been used to prevent. this the fbi made a full admission of this yesterday in a statement saying, in

part, the caller provided information about cruz's gun ownership, desire to kill people. and the potential of him conducting a school shooting. here is fbi agent robert lasky of the miami field office, which never got that tip. he defends the fbi. >> the potential of the fbi to miss something is always there. we do our best. we have protocols to prevent these things. we will be looking into where and how if something protocol broke down. and we will come back stronger than we ever were before. rob: i'm sure people in this community are outraged by this story. the governor of florida certainly is rick scott putting out a statement saying we constantly promote see something, say something. and a courageous person did just that to the fbi. and the fbi failed to act. the fbi director needs to resign. meanwhile, the funerals began yesterday. there will be 17 funerals. the first two were yesterday. meadow pollack, a senior here at this high school was

hoping to go to college here in the fall, in nearby boca raton. she was laid to rest as was 14-year-old alyssa alhadeff who wanted to be an attorney she was also a soccer player. let's hear from their friends. >> i was with meadow, talking to meadow right before the gunman started shooting. you know, it is very sad. but, at the same time, like i know that she is in a safer place now and the angels will be with her. >> closure but at this age it really isn't. it was just senseless and these girls shouldn't be here. they should be in school today. rob: just a terrible story another terrible school shooting. 19-year-old nikolas cruz police say he has confessed and will plead guilty if the death penalty is off the table. guys, back to you. pete: rob, thank you. griff: thanks, rob. i don't envy rob's job. i have been covering shootings like this. it is so difficult. you don't know what to say to parents who have just lost everything.

and now it's compounded by the fact that the fbi clearly dropped the ball here and as you saw, governor scott calling for the director's resignation. rachel: have you to be angry, even more angry after that information. look at what we have just talked about before this story. the problems at the fbi. have you an fbi where the leadership has been totally politicized. where our lead investigators are texting their lovers about how they can bring the president down. and they -- and they fail to follow up on a credible tip about a school shooting from a very close source to the shooter himself. you have got to be so angry. pete: because clearly, unfortunately, the fbi needs to focus more attention on its core mission, which is in follow up and investigating on crimes that have been committed or could be committed in this country. and i'm not saying there is a direct correlation between the politicization at the top and the miss in a field department. but when you see all of that it makes you angry about the fact that you're not able to get a tip that's clear, but you are focused on trying to

prove a president, discredit a president. rachel: leadership matters. when the people at the top are distracted, i'm sorry the whole organization suffers from that. griff: i will tell you what i see the fbi seal right there right there in the middle, fidelity, bravery, integrity. integrity is in question right now. pete: can't always trust your government. it isn't always followed up. it's unfortunate. you don't want to breed that kind of mistrust. we need to arm teachers, carry and conceal. you can't count on the prevention or catch them every time. you need to have a deterrence effect at the physical location as well. rachel: i frankly believe as a parent that we should have, especially in schools like that that are sprawling where you don't have one single entrance, put a fence around, put a wall around it. we have been talking about walls here on this program for a long time put a wall around it i went to a school like that when i was in the military. one entrance surrounding a sprawling campus. we actually had armed

guards. guess what, i'm not traumatized by that and by armed guards. pete: exactly. they are not traumatizing when they are keeping the peace. rachel: what's traumatizing is what happened this week. griff: and the president going down to console. you heard about 13 russians indicted for interference. there is still no evidence of the narrative. sara carter has been following this from the beginning and she is here next u. pete: mother thrown in jail for baptizing her daughter. the controversial sentence just ahead ♪ i will tell you once more ♪ before i get off the floor ♪ don't bring me down ♪ don't bring me down feel that tingle of a cold sore coming on? only abreva can heal it in as little as two and a half days

>> special counsel robert mueller robert mueller slapping indictments against

russians and russian companies for meddling in u.s. elections. >> there is still no evidence to support the trump-russia collusion narrative. rachel: but, will they ever stop trying to find something on trump. we're asking fox news contributor sara carter, the woman that dean cain the superman called the lois lane of this story. what do we expect next? is this ever going to end now that we have an indictment that says no collusion? >> this will end, rachel. it will end. there is so much more to be investigated here what special counsel robert mueller was go back to the original edick of the case. okay, we have shown here in this indictment that the russians were involved. here is 13 basically indictments on persons, three entities that were actually involved in trying to create chaos and discord.

this is something that the russians are good at. they are great at. it's something that we are constantly battling in the u.s. intelligence community and he did, this laid the foundation for something more, maybe. this is where we have to be concerned although the indictment said there was no witty person, no american witty to the fact russians were doing. this no american involvement no, collusion, we always have to be aware of the fact that there were people convicted, unknowinglily, and where will robert mueller go with that you? know, i'm not robert mueller. i don't know what he is working on. you know, in the details, but he could be laying the foundation for possibly more indictments. but i think what's important here rob rosenstein came out and explicitly stated that no american was involved in this. and what that tells me there was no collusion. we have known that from the begin nothing collusion back when they were talking about this. no evidence pointed in that direction. in fact, the evidence

pointed in an opposite direction pointed in the direction of the clinton campaign, people in the intelligence community, people within the fbi that were focused on this dossier, and look at christopher steele, is he a foreign former mi 6 british spy who was involving himself in our elections. i wouldn't be surprised if there is an indictment against christopher steele. pete: that's a great and rachel has asked that question multiple times this morning will we hear about christopher steele? will we hear about the dirty dossier within the context of bob mullen's special counsel? >> i think we might. i don't know how far he is going to spread out. i don't know -- a lot of people have been calling for another special counsel to investigate this it's within robert mueller's ball park to look at this. 2014. why do we look at what christopher steele did and what was going on there.

i do think it was in his ball park. something he can definitely take a look at. i also believe something we are going to hear come up in the inspector general's report. when we are looking at the fbi's investigation into the hillary clinton server and her use of that serve tore transfer classified information. we're going to see that spread out because we see a lot of the same players in all of these investigations. griff: that's a good point, sara. thank you very much. the judicial committee has already referred christopher steele to the doj already. rachel: thank you. pete: what does the white house think about these 13 indictment of russians, hogan gidley on that coming up. griff: is he one of many heroes emerging in that florida shooting. a junior rotc shooting shielding his classmates with kevlar sheets. that hero is here to share his story of courage coming up.

wow. rachel: incredible story of courage in the face of certain danger. griff: our next guest is being hailed a hero in the florida tragedy after ushering about 90 of his classmates into rotc training room and covering them with bullet-proof kevlar sheets. pete: quick-thinking teen armed himself with pieces of wood, two by four and fire extinguisher waiting for the gunman to enter ready to fight. rachel: colton hbo a junior rotc majorry douglas stone man high school joins us from parkland with his story. welcome, coalton, i don't knocolton, wheredescrut wherewik about doing this and protecting your fellow students in such a tragic situation? >> first of all, i would like to say good morning. pete: good morning. >> personally for me, everything is about your mind set in a horrific situation like this. if you are not able to be able to defend yourself and

make sure that everyone around you gets home safe, then you could possibly end up a victim. so, for me, my main goal was to make sure that everyone got home safe to their families, so i got as many people as i could into that classroom and then from there i just tried to arm myself and be ready are to the worst. pete: you were not alerted by an alarm. you were alerted by seven gunshots, you counted, you herd them close enough to be heard. when you were taking these immediate actions, you were anticipating the shooter could be coming to your classroom next. what actions did you take specifically in that classroom? >> so, as soon as i heard the seven gunshots, i immediately turned around. i had closed the door. ran into the second rotc room where we have the 90 people we had brought. in from there i just wanted to make sure that everyone got into the classroom safely. we lined them up into the wall and along the back of the wall as well as into a utility closet that we had in the room. from there i was standing with my first sergeant and i said first sergeant of arms, these are kevlar.

these are bullet proof material let's move these in front of everybody. he agreed to do that and me and my fellow friend zac waltz who is also a rotc can cadet we started moving the kevlar sheets forward. griff: this debate is now emerging about gun once campus. do you believe that's something that we should be looking at? >> absolutely. unfortunately, gun control it's definitely needed a little bit more. i don't think that we're going to get gun control in such a quick enough response. i believe that if we did bring firearms on campus to teachers that are willing to carry their firearm on campus, if they got their correct training for it i think that would be a big beneficial factor into school safety just because, i mean, if coach feis had had his firearm in school that day, i believe that he could have most likely stopped the threat. rachel: coach feis was a security guard as well as the coach of the team.

i understanding you actually saw the coach, maybe seconds before he passed away or at some point during this tragedy. tell us about that. >> yes, ma'am, as i was listening to the gunshots fired. i looked to my left to see if i could see the shooter possibly. did i see coach feis on hesitate golf cart headed toward the freshman building. rachel: he was going to help people? >> yes, ma'am. he was like that. very selfless. always wanted to help somebody. pete: his story is so powerful. colton, you talk about a mind set. after you put those kevlar shields up for your classmates, you and some others grabbed two by fours and fire extinguishers, ultimately what are normally not weapons became weapons in that moment. talk about what you were prepared to do and also, you say you want to internet military at some point. what is part of your mind set that made you prepared for that situation? >> so, once we had had the kevlar sheets in place, we grabbed the two by fours and the fire extinguisher, so my plan was to have my plan

zachery, he had a second two by four and we had tipped two tables up. that was his cover. i was along the wall next to the door. so if that door had opened. my plan was to strike the individual and then another friend of mine, his name was john carlo carrera. i gave him the fire extinguishers, spray shah door get as much as fire extinguisher out so it disorients him. at that point i asked him to please roll me the fire extinguisher i could use as it a weapon. griff: colton, i applaud your actions and quick thinking and you have a younger brother. he's okay? >> yes, sir. he's okay. he was actually in the same building as i was on the second floor of it. he originally had heard the gunshots, thought that the gunman was actually coming up the stairs that he was going down. so he immediately turned around and hightailed it back to his classroom where he had an issue getting in. but he finally did get in. pete: colton, i think i speak for a lot of the people. i'm grateful i live in a country where guys like are

you willing to do what you do right now. you said you wants to join the marines or coast guard. thank you for your mind set and courage that day. you were prepared to give your life for other people. no higher calling. rachel: inspiration of leadership. thank you, colton. pete: thank you, god bless you. >> thank you. griff: thank you, sir. calls for christopher wray to resign after failing to react on the tip of the florida gunman. we will ask hogan gidley next. pete: a white nationalist tells news outlets the florida shooter was a member of his extremist group. well, turns out that was a lie. we will explain. coming up. an 150 ethnic regions to connect to... ...it's the perfect time to find out where your greatness comes from. save 30% at ancestrydna.com.

♪ >> very sad something like that could happen. but the job the doctors did, the nurses, the hospital, first responders, law enforcement, really incredible. people and incredible recovery, incredible. and first responders, everybody the job they've done is incredible. and i want to congratulate you. incredible job. pete: this was the president and first lady yesterday as they visited parkland school shooting victims. we want to bring in hogan gidley deputy white house press secretary. good morning, hogan. thanks for being with us. in the wake of this florida shooting, what is the white house's perspective on what

can or should, if anything, be done to prevent investigationsituations like the future. >> look, i think director wray, obviously, understood that there were mistakes made at the fbi. he made that clear. he took full responsibility for it. i hate and upset that something this grotesque had to occur to expose a breakdown in the fbi on this particular issue. you grieve for the families. you have seen what's going on. obviously y'all have been playing the clips from the parents. it's a sad, devastating situation down in florida. but, president trump put director wray in his position a few month ago to try and clean some of the things up in the fbi. we have confidence that he'll do just that sadly this had to occur for them to see that there was a systematic failure. griff: wait a minute, hogan. let me stop you there real quick though. governor rick scott calling for wray's resignation,

you're saying that the president has confidence in wray. but, will we see him call for his resignation? >> look, that's going to be up to the president. i haven't spoken to him on the particular issue. i can say that they are obviously looking at fixing what was going on at the fbi. because, this failure is unacceptable. for people to lose their lives over just a simple error where someone could have reported this and, you know, you tell people to see something, say something. someone saw something and said something. but, yet, it still didn't make its way up to the chain. that's a serious issue and we expect it to be fixed immediately. rachel: hogan, there is a lot of push back now from people on the left about the issue is gun control. when i look at this situation with this young man, i see somebody who probably should not have been mainstreamed into the school system. probably should have been in another kind of facility. i remember in the case of newtown that the mother of adam lanza, the killer in that situation said she had -- or there had been information that she had tried to get him into a facility and it's really

hard to do that. it's either expensive or they can't -- they haven't done something worthy of getting them into a facility. parents begging for, with mentally unstable children, begging for that kind of access. is the federal government, is the white house going to do something to help parents who have children who are disturbed like this? >> we have been in contact already with several groups across the country about addressing the issue here, and this is mental illness and how we actually help people out there. the president made the speech from the white house last week to try and explain to people you're not alone. we are going to help you. we are going to work with attorneys general at the local level and governors to get things accomplished so that can you have support at the federal level on these types of issues. but, it is quite frankly grotesque. as soon as the tragedy strikes, democrats run to the cameras and their first reaction is to say it's all about gun control when even liberal publications point out gun control wouldn't have solved this issue, wouldn't have prevented this disaster. when you see something like

immigration, for example, where people are using loopholes in the law that come to this country and kill americans, there are laws that can be changed to actually save american lives they are 100 percent preventable deaths. democrats won't lift financing tore change those laws. gun laws that wouldn't have affected a thing in this instance. pete: murder also illegal. >> absolutely. pete: move on to another topic, yesterday the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein announced 13 indictments of individuals, three of companies none of which were america all of which were russia their attempt to will election. no word of collusion. what does this tell you about where the special council is and where they are going? would we have to understand this began in 2014 under then president barack obama's nose. he didn't do a thing about it long before donald trump announced for president this was going on it points out clearly that in this process

there was no collusion as you just pointed out president said it multiple times, proves the president correct. no collusion between donald trump, his campaign and russia also i think this is important too. it did not effect the outcome of the election whatsoever. what the russians were trying to do is outlined by deputy attorney general rosenstein was create chaos. in the american election system. and i will just say this. there are two groups that have created chaos more than the russians and that's the democrats and the mainstream media who continued to push this lie on the american people for more than a year and quite frankly americans should be outraged by that. griff: gidley, is the -- >> i'm not going to get ahead of the president on that. he doesn't del graph what he is going to do in particular instances. all those things are on the table. when people come in and meddle in our elections, you

know, that's a serious issue, the president takes it seriously. we are looking at all options at this point. rachel: good news is, gidley, if you poll the american people they were never buying the russian collusion story anyway. >> right. rachel: thank you for joining us today. great information. we are hoping the president does do something about mental health and children. >> he will. thank you so much, rachel, pete. hide. rachel: north carolina mother sentenced seven days in jail for baptizing her own daughter. court documents revealing that kendra stocks violated a judge's order that gave the father primary decision-making control over their 2-year-old daughter. including matters of religion. the day after the judge issued that order stocks had her daughter baptized. the father found out about the ceremony on facebook. she cried foul and the judge agreed finding stocks in contempt. facebook moving forward with its new messaging app. for

pete: turning now to a major shakeup at the v.a. department. its chief of staff stepping down after evidence revealed that she doctored emails to justify taxpayer funded travel for the v.a. secretary's wife overseas. v.a. secretary david shulkin also under fire for not reforming the v.a. enough. so much so that we couldn't find a guest to come on to defend him this morning.

so is a whole new leadership what's needed at the top of the v.a.? we are asking dan caldwell executive director for concerned veterans of america. dan, thanks for joining us this morning. as was noted. this was going to be a debate. we invited the secretary and members of the legion. no one else would come on. instead it would be a discussion. first of all, the news yesterday that the chief of staff resigned or in the last couple of days in light of doctoring travel reports. she was also involved in covering up the 2014 wait time scandal as well. >> absolutely, quite frankly she should have been gone wednesday afternoon of a inspector general report detailing how she modified documents and mislead the inspector general. she should have been gone wednesday afternoon. we had concerned veterans for america have been pushing v.a. accountability for years. it applies to everybody at the v.a. whether it's receptionist at your local v.a. hospital all the way up to the v.a. secretary. when you aren't doing the right thing for veterans. when you are misusing

government resources, you need to be held accountable. there is some good news in this. yesterday president trump appointed a gentleman named peter o'rourke to replace the chief of staff that resigned yesterday. peter is a great guy. he is a rock star. he helped stand up the office accountability that president trump created and he is all about accountability and doing the right thing. so that's a positive that came out of this. pete: dan, as i look at these stories it is a positive you are partial swamp draining with a true believer in the chief of staff role. stories have percolated that there is distance between the white house and their positions on policy and secretary shulkin. almost to the point where he feels like he and others inside the v.a. are saving america and veterans from trump, from the white house. what do you make of the split between the white house wanting reform and what shulkin is doing? >> look, everybody needs to get on the same page here. if you don't believe in what president trump has laid out in his v.a. reform agenda and 10-point campaign plan which veterans

overwhelmingly support, if you don't believe in that, and you are not willing to publicly support it, then you shouldn't be in this job. look, secretary shulkin has said in the past that he supports it you know, whether or not he really does or doesn't, what matters here is that by engaging these actions, by not owning the mistakes he made that the inspector general laid out, he is actively undermining that agenda by distracting away from the important work of advancing choice at the v.a. it's been very unfortunate to see how he has responded to this. quite frankly i was hoping he would own it and move on. instead he is trying to distract and deflect. and it's very, very disappointing to me. pete: here is the secretary deflecting. take a listen. >> i take the use of taxpayer dollars and being a steward of taxpayer dollars extremely seriously. what is not talked about in this town are the real issues. i welcome any type of investigation, frankly. it shouldn't be this hard to have to work in washington.

pete: he has paid back the money and since accused the chief of staff of being hacked. but you talked about policies. this president has talked about giving veterans real choice. is david shulkin committed to letting veterans choose between the v.a. and private providers, which is a promise the president made? >> you know, publicly, he said he does. he has told me in private he does. but then there is these mixed messages coming from the v.a. to capitol hill. and that is only slowing down legislation that would expand healthcare choice for veterans that wean sure the v.a. better delivers healthcare to our veterans. it's hurting veterans. that's what matters here. at the end of the day, you can have all this drama in d.c. but there are still hundreds of thousands of veterans across the country waiting too long for care and every day we don't have legislation trying to fix that is a day that more veterans suffer. all this drama that's been created and again i have to say that secretary shulkin is a big part in driving that is just undermining that. if you are not willing to come together, work with the

white house, work with the president to advance his legislative agenda, you need to be gone. i hope that monday morning or tuesday morning we come back from the holiday, everybody is able to act like adults, come together, make some adult decisions and move on and get back to the business of serving our veterans. pete: dan, this is a big moment. we wanted it to be a ebait. nobody noe one would come on to defend it hopefully secretary all in for choice. dan caldwell. >> if he is not, then he needs to make some decisions about whether or not he belongs there. pete: great point. dan caldwell, appreciate your time. president trump says bob mueller's new indictment of russian nationals convinced indicates him. did the russian do russian interference of their own? coming up. bass pro shops biggest fishing day of the year is here. all the deals can you reel in, $500 off high tech fishing finder. coming up next. ♪ early in the morning ♪ in the middle of the night

justice department announcing the indictment of 13 russians and three russian organizations for meddling in the 2016 presidential election. >> there is no allegation in the indictment that american is a knowing participant in this activity. >> the president did take to twitter to weigh in. the dru trump campaign did nothg wrong. there was no collusion. >> the evidence pointed in the direction of the clinton campaign, people within the fbi. the fbi is facing harsh criticism after revealing they failed to act after receiving a call from someone close to nikolas cruz. >> the fbi had the tip about six

weeks ago. >> heads need to roll about this. this is completely unacceptable. >> the president and his wife in broward county, florida. >> it's very sad something like this could happen. first responders, everybody, the job they've done is incredible. well, we're starting this 9:00 hour on saturday, february 17th with a fox news alert. if you were watching yesterday, bob mueller through rod rosenstein came out and said no collusion but we're indicting 13 russians and three russian companies for attempting to meddle in our elections and throw discord in our democracy. whether or not they were successful, we'll let you decide. thank you for joining us. i'm peter with rachel and griff .>> i'm still warming up g you .

you did a good job driving the boat. >> i know how to drive a upon >> pete: a boat. we're sick of the collusion and all this russia, russia, russia. an official came out yesterday and say there was no collusion. we had hogan gibbley on our program minutes ago, responding to the 13 indictments of russians yesterday. listen. >> the president said multiple times, this makes it clear and concise to the american people and proves the president correct, no collusion between donald trump, his campaign and russia. there are two groups that created chaos more than the russians. that's the democrats and the mainstream media who continued to push this lie on the american people for more than a year and quite frankly americans should be outraged by that.

>.>> the mueller investigation s not over. it's ongoing. we're bringing in geraldo rivera. good morning, geraldo. what do you make of all this? >> i'm holding my breath and waiting for the group i call the collusionistas to apologize to donald trump. for a year, fabricated stories based on wishful thinking and lazy research. they slandered the president. i wonder now what cnbc -- not what msn will do, now that the collusion myth has been exposed. i think they owe the president an apology. >> they say the investigation will keep going whe. when do we stop this? they started the investigation, no collusion. we now have no collusion affirmed in the indictment, corroborated by diane fin diannn

and clapper. when will this end? >> that's an excellent question. what's of interest to me is the 13 russians that were indicted, there is no allegation they had anything to do with a knowing american. there were unwitting americans that were duped by the russians. that avenue of investigation is now at a dead end. where does that particular one end? remember there's been a lot of news about paul manafort being in trouble and gates about to plead and so forth and flynn. these things have nothing to do with the president of the united states. they have nothing to do with the allegation of collusion. it's time to go back to your basic question, rachel. it's time to start wrapping this thing up. there's been enough distraction. you wonder and you worry, this distraction, how many agents have been taken off the duty of investigating terror and domestic terror, and i submit

what happened at parkland school was terror, how many of the good agents have been taken off to follow these political dead ends and enough is enough now. the president deserves a green card from mueller, let's wrap this up, enough distraction. >> you know the famous t-shirts, i went somewhere and all i got was an american t-shirt. i feel as an american citizen, i've got a special council and all i've got is 13 russians with this indictment. it's almost a mockery. didn't the democrats and the mainstream media fall into what the russians wanted to begin with? >> they wanted it so much, the same like-minded he. >> rachel: group ofeliteists, tt trump to be a i'l illegitimate

president. they wanted him to be fatally flawed and prone to impeachment. there is no there there. it is time for everyone to admit. you made a mistake. you stayed on the story far too long. maybe the special council could have issued the indictments a bit earlier. maybe it's incumbent on him to make a statement in a definitive way that says there is no evidence implicating the 4th presiden45thpresident of the uns in any collusion. >> what do democrats do now? do they start screaming obstruction louder and louder? is that their only move? >> you mention obstruction, griff. all of the so-called crimes, aside from manafort who did his own thing years ago when he was representing the ukrainian hard-liner and so forth, those guys are in trouble. they're in trouble that has nothing to do with the president of the united states. now let's follow this through.

just reason about it, what has happened, who has been indicted, who is charged, is there anything in there that implicates anybody in the core trump team in anything illegal, evethat would make the presideny of donald trump illegitimate. the answer is a resounding no. this has been a huge distraction. this has been something that the president has been forced to deal with on a regular basis. how many times have we seen him walking to or from marine one or to air force one, mr. president, what about the russians, russia, russia, no collusion says the president, no collusion says the president. enough already. call them the collusionistas and you get an idea of how i mock that. >> i love that. we have another story, a huge story that broke yesterday, the fbi admitting that they got a very credible tip about the

shooter at the parkland high school. what do you make of this? what does this do to the reputation of the fbi and how do we fix it? >> i think this is deeply disturbing, rachel. hayou had someone saw something, someone said something and the fbi did nothing. it's january 5th. imagine you were a parent of one of these children and you see that five, six weeks ago the federal bureau of investigation, the best investigative agency on earth had a specific tip about this specific shooter in that specific school and did nothing. so what did they do as opposed to their duty? i mean, did they -- what was going on in that office that this tip wasn't processed in the ordinary course of business? i mean, i want to make it clear. first of all, you've got the attorney general sessions is saying they failed at this.

you have rick scott, the fine governor of florida saying that christopher wray, the fbi director should be fired. you have marco rubio saying there's going to be congressional investigations of the failure to follow up on this tip. i want to be clear. the fbi was not alone. my friends at the broward sheriff's department also had 20 calls, legit calls about nikolas cruz. 20 of them. at what point do you -- hey, nick, do you find if we look around. we heard stories you have target practice in the backyard. maybe you bought this assault weapon. do you mind if we -- what's on your mind, kid? you know, i think that this is an abject failure. we were asking citizens to say something if they see something. there was also a call to the blogger in mississippi about the same kid. when you have a legit, credible,

believable tip, you've got to make that call. you're not going to -- put away your donut and make the call. go visit the kid. find out what's happening. his parents had just died. he's kind of a lone wolf wandering around, accumulating weapons. the school is saying if you see him, alert the authorities, particularly if he has a backpack. this isn't just warning signs. these are red flags, people shouting. it seems to me the kid was shouting "stop me" before i slaughter my classmates. >> you raise a lot of important points. also, it's not an assault rifle, an a.r.-15 is not an assault rifle. it's semi-automatic. mistakes do happen. >> i'll debate you on that time any time. >> i'd be happy to. i'll be clinging to my a.r.-15 as long as i can. mistakes happen within agencies and i'm not here to defend the

fbi. if they're getting thousands and hundreds of thousands of calls every week and month, how high should the accountability go? how much do you think it's systematic. washington is obsessed at the top with digging up dirt on trump. is there a distraction in leadership? in the culture? could this have been an unfortunate mistake at the ground level? >> you're asking me to sec late speculatea lot. i don't know. i know the way cops operate. i know sometimes a tip, they get a million tips, 10,000 tips, you've got a lot to go through, maybe i'm doing this, maybe i'm doing that. maybe i'm off on some other priority. this one, though, does seem glaring. i hate to say that somebody really, really screwed up. but it does appear, at least on the face of it. what we know right now that this was something that was a clear

drop the ball and even these met words fail, how important it was to check out nikolas cruz and the fact that they did not, and there was so much going on in his life, hindsight is 20/20. you can put the pieces together and saying i should have known, if i had seen this, but this one does seem pretty blatant, doesn't it to everybody? >> i'm with us 100%. and hopefully moving forward people will take -- the fbi and investigators will take a tip about a school shooting seriously and at face value. >> thank you for joining us. >> wait a second. you've got to let me give my pitch. i'm talking to the president tonight. i've got an idea. everybody is dancing around, everyone says you can't reimpose the brady ban on assault weapons

and the major and i can debate whether an a.r.-15 is an assault weapon. but we've been mosquing the fact that here in -- mocking the fact that in florida and in most states, a kid could not buy a beer, nikolas cruz could not buy a beer because he's under age, yet he could buy an a.r.-15 legally. >> tell him to let the teachers carry concealed. >> why not raise the age? listen to me. raise the age of buying an assault weapon or military style assault weapon like an a.r.-15 from 18 to 21. raise the age from 18 to 21. >> we've seen kids steal guns from their parents too. >> raise the age. they could do that now. >> thank you, geraldo. let us know what you think about geraldo's suggestion. >> thanks, geraldo. you just heard about the russians indicted for meddling in the election.

>> rachel: special council robert mueller laying out a case of russian meddling in the 2016 election. >> is the special council ignoring possible collusion by the clinton campaign. here to react is the president of security studies, jim hanson. good morning. jim. what say you? >> i say they absolutely have been ignoring the only actual collusion in favor of chasing a rabbit that the russians released into our system. mueller's indictments of these russians says their goal was to soe discord. that was the theme of my op ed weeks ago. the bottom line is, there is no trump russia and there never has been but there is a hillary, obama, dem resistance gps dnc

russia that nobody wants to pay attention to and maybe they should. >> you pay attention to very serious national security threats. i'm not saying russian interference isn't serious. it is. we've been playing some of the facebook posts and twitter posts that the russians used to distort the election. the absurd at thiity of some ofs laughable. when democrats say look at all the russian interference, are we really saying pictures of jesus arm wrestling satan tipped the scales of our election? w>> if you're going to be swayed by a picture that says hillary clinton is satan, you weren't going to vote for her in the first place. so it's not that we don't want the russians doing that. it's not that we shouldn't pay attention. but what the democrats and the rest did was they played right into russia's goal and they helped them. the media, the only question is were they fellow travelers or

were they useful idiots to use the old terms from the soviet union days. they assisted the russians in this, in delegitmiting trump's administration from the start. they needed a an excuse for why hillary was such a hour i've a e candidate. they were busy generating the garbage dossier to smear trump and spy on his people. the left helped our enemies by being dumb enough to fall for it. >> rachel: we had sarah carter on. she said that more indictments are going to come. do you expect mueller is looking into the dossier and the collusion you talked about at the beginning of the interview? >> i hope so. i mean, if that's his goal, was to find out who was colluding with the russians to affect our elections, we know the russians were. the question is who else was. it sure looks like the democrat

dnc gps angle along with the deep staters who helped them is a lot more non nothing burger than the zero burger that was trump doing nothing to help them. let's hope he focuses on that as opposed to continuing to chase the nonexistent trump russia angle. >> if that were to happen, talk about restoring faith. >> one of the russians indicted said he has no idea how the americans could have come to this decision. jim hanson, thank you very much. >> thank you. are niec these indictments f that the obama administration failed when it comes to russian meddling. a high school pulls a graduation from a church. we'll have he detail he details. sfx: muffled whistle text alert. i'm your phone,

fbi to notify the white house about any issues in background checks within 48 hours, limiting access to classified information for people with temporary clearances and frequent status reports on pending background checks. this comes after criticism over former staffer rob porter who had a top clearance despite being accused of domestic abuse. griff, down to you. >> griff: 13 russian nationals and three russian companies indicted for meddling in the 2016 elections, starting as early as 2014. if you ask then president obama, it was not a sophisticated scheme. >> what is it about our political system that made us vulnerable to these kinds of potential manipulations, which as i've said publicly before were not particularly sophisticated. this was not some elaborate, complicated espionage scheme. >> griff: did the past administration not take the rush

russian threat seriously enough. here to debatadrienne, i want th you. how can it be at the same time, according to president obama, a massive scandal and complicated scheme but yet not? >> look, i mean, the obama administration has made it very clear, dennis mcdonna, former chief of staff laid out an op ed in the washington post that they could have done a lot more to counter some of these cyber security attacks. adam schiff came out yesterday and said look, i think the obama administration should have taken some of the hacks a little more seriously because by not we are essentially saying if you hack a major united states company, then we're not going to do anything about it. what matters the most is that the obama administration was doing a lot of work behind the scenes in contrast to president trump, who yesterday when these 13 indictments came out, instead of focusing on the fact that an

adversarial government was trying to hack our elections to sway toward one political candidate, he came out an focused on collusion. again, the obama administration admitted they could have done more. what matters more now is that president trump is not doing anything. he hasn't even directed his intelligence officials to focus on getting to the bottom of this as we learned earlier this week from christopher wray during the fbi testimon. >i testimony.>> chairman nunes s statement. in 2014 i warned about russia's worldwide influence operations, although the obama administration failed to act on the committee's warnings. it's gratifying to see that russian agents involved in the on gaoperations have been identd and indicted. i want you to weigh in on this, tammy. >> many of the individuals who were indicted came in, into this country when john kerry was secretary of state under barack obama. this is what we know. it doesn't mean this is the only thing that's occurred.

i'll remind you of course also that the united states, this is one of the reasons why the indictment is important, it was an anti-hillary effort. putin started hating hillary as putin alleged that the united states was interfering in the russian election while hillary was secretary of state. the obama administration openly interfered with israel's election. so obama's administration was not making friends, despite his efforts to tell medvev and putin he would have more flexibility after 2012 to work with them. when we talk about the nature of the relationship, it's clear that obama not only was not doing enough here, but it was in fact facilitating to some degree, making things a little easier by not taking those actions. i would suggest that through this campaign, in the summertime, barack obama was telling donald trump to stop whining about issues regarding the campaign and interference with the election. so there's the sitting president when they thought hillary was

going to win, was telling a mann and other individuals concerned about efforts to meddle with the election to shut up, effectively. when we think about who is responsible for this, this is a many years, even pre-2014 effort and i think we need to look at how this happened at the beginning and that long with barack obama at this point. >> griff: quickly, adrienne, i want to ask you, do democrats have a messaging problem now going forward? >> no. first of all, i want to make one comment, while you say why obama was saying what he was saying in the summer of 2016. >> not his last statement. adrienne, the earlier statements in the summertime where he was telling donald trump to effectively -- h said literally stop whining. >> president trump was encouraging the russians to hack the campaign at some of his rallies, to dry to drum up -- >> as a joke at a rally as

opposed to the president of the united states saying i'll be more flexible after the election. this is when it comes to you see what you want to see. you had president obama, hillary clinton and kerry having all the power in the world, working with these people or at least ignoring them and donald trump makes a joke at a ramly and rald that's the thing that changes the world. either on one hand he's a dumb guy or on the other hand the most powerful man in the world. make up your mind. >> griff: thank you for joining us. a lot to point about. point is, 13 russians indicted, no americans wittingly participated. >> the investigation is ongoing. >> griff: thank you very much. coming up, a true hero emerging from the florida high school shooting, a football coach who died shielding students from bullets. players from his team join us live to o honor his legacy. that's next.

i thought i was managing my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. but i realized something was missing... me. the thought of my symptoms returning was keeping me from being there for the people and things i love most. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira can help get, and keep,uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts so you could experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

(keybdear freshpet, i was in the air force and got seriously hurt. it was the worst time in my life... until i met tank. you really could say hes a rescue dog. so when he got heavy and his energy slumped, it was my turn to be there for him. thats when i found freshpet. he seemed to love it! and sure enough he got down to his ideal weight. freshpet put the puppy back in my dog and gave me back my best friend.

we're back with a fox news alert. funerals are beginning for the victims of florida's high school shooting, taking 17 lives and injuring 15 others. >> they're being laid to rest as president trump visits survivors along with the officers who responded to that horrific day. >> rachel: we have a live report from parkland, florida. >> reporter: the president and

first lady spent about 45 minutes in the hospital last night. they met with some of the wounded students and their families. and they went to the first responders' headquarters, the sheriff's department here, they actually met with the officer who apprehended the suspected shooter. president trump had words of high praise for the first responders. >> what a great job you've done and we appreciate it very much. everybody's talking about it. what a job you've done and the doctors did a great job over at the hospital. >> reporter: the funerals here have already begun. two yesterday, one today, at least two more tomorrow and along with the sadness here, a growing sense of anger over what many say are misread flags about the shooter. police were called to the shooter's house between 2010 and 2016 36 separate times, many of those times for violent behavior. in addition, the fbi has admitted it missed a tip call, a tip call from someone close to the suspected shooter, who said

the shooter had a gun, he was disturbed, he wanted to kill people and warned about a possible attack on the l school. that's exactly what happened six weeks later. the suspected shooter was in court yesterday for the first time. his public defender said he is likely to plead guilty in an effort to avoid the death penalty. one student here still in critical condition at the hospital. of the 17 people killed, 14 were students, three were faculty members, including a football coach who many said died trying to shield his students from the gunfire. back to you guys. >> rachel: thank you, steve. aaron feis is hailed a hero after he threw himself in front of students shielding them from the gunfire as it ripped through the florida high school. >> joining us now to talk about the coach, will pringle and lucas taylor. will and lucas, thank you for joining us this morning. will, i'll start with you. first of all, you guys were in a similar location that morning. walk us through where you were and what happened.

>> me and lucas were in the same classroom. we heard the fire alarm go off. it was the second fire alarm of the day. they normally don't do that. we followed the normal procedures. we head out to our designated zones and then it just seemed kind of off. there were people who were saying they're doing the shooting drill that we were supposed to have, we heard gunshots and then the teachers were all running around, administrators were in a fuss. they were telling us we need to start walking away, we need to evacuate, go to west glades. it wasn't really -- it didn't sink in until we saw one of the sheriffs up outside of west glades with an a.r.-15. all the lights and sirens were going and then it sunk in. >> rachel: you guys just heard obviously yesterday the news that there were signs, there was a tip, a call made to the fbi.

how do you feel having gone through what you went through this week, knowing that the fbi was alerted to this six weeks ago? >> i mean, yeah, they're at fall fault. fault. but statement it coul at the sad have been any other day, like it was. as soon as we heard the gunshot we ran as hard as we could. things should have been done, but they weren't. >> let me ask you or lucas, either one of you want to answer this. we were talking in another segment about guns possibly being allowed on campus. we understand coach feis is a gun owner. do you believe if coach feis had been allowed to have his weapon on campus, it might have changed things? >> 100%. i think someone with the bravery and the heart of coach feis, he would have gone to the scene immediately and if he had the ability to stop the shooter, if

he he had the ability to protect himself and others, he could have saved himself and he could have saved who knows how many other people. it could have been a completely different outcome if he was allowed to carry a weapon on campus. >> we talk about folks running. you were on the other side of the school. something made your coach run toward the shots of gunfire without a weapon, and you guys believe he should have had one and the outcome would have been different. what was it about his mindset and what did he instill in you guys as players that he would charge towards a hail storm of bullets. >> before every game coach fies told us to play every game like it was last. and that day he played every day like it was his last day. he used everything in his heart to go save the kids he cared about more than his own life and it really showed that he's -- he is a hero. >> rachel: there's no greater love than to lay your life down for someone else and he clearly did that. i want to quick mention the gofundme page. we have a link to it on fox and friends.

it's up to $125,000. >> this is in honor of your coach. what will the proceeds go to, will and lucas? >> they will go to his family. it will go to helping the funeral. it will help his daughter. it will just try and -- it won't fix anything. it won't be able to help the pain go away, but it will make things easier and make going through this easier for his family to grieve and move on. >> i'll give you very quickly, we have a few seconds, but if you had one word to describe coach fies, what would it be? >> loving. >> true angel. true angel. >> thank you both. appreciate your time. >> rachel: thank you for joining us. >> pete: vice president pence now weighing in on bob mueller's russia indictments. >> there's no question that russia sought to interfere, perhaps with other countries in

our electoral process. >> pete: kneel cavuto here to react, next. plus, president trump just passed major tax reform. is canada next? we'll find out. a tip for justin. ♪ if you wear a denture, you not only want a clean feeling every day, you want your denture to be stain free. did you know there's a specialty cleanser that's gentle enough for everyday use and cleans better than regular toothpaste? try polident cleanser. it has a four in one cleaning system

>> pete: we're back with some headlines. canada is evaluating how the u.s. corporate tax cut will impact its ability to bring and keep businesses north of the border. the bank of canada warned the tax changes may affect companies. >>. a texas school district will no longer hold graduatio grad ceret one of the largest churches in the area. this is after a group of atheists complained about the

public school system using a christian church. now, to a fox news alerts. vice president pence weighing in on the 13 indictments against russian nationals in an exclusive interview with answerlainsleyearhart. >> our administration has been fully cooperating with the special council investigation. there is no question that russia sought to interfere perhaps with other countries in our electoral process. there is no suggestion that there is any impact on the election, despite what the indictments suggest. >> pete: you can see a entire interview on monday at 6:00 a.m. on "fox & friends." >> rachel: here with his reaction is neil sk cavuto, the host of "cavuto live" which airs after our show. tell us what you think about this, about the indictments, about the interview with vice president an pence and what he t

said. >> neil: i read through all the indictments and everything. what is very clear is they're targeting the russian entities and the three other russian companies. that was a little more interesting that this might have had some sort of corporate push from over there, in that it would be advantageous for them to screw around in our election. as to whether it signals that the mueller investigation is over, wrapped up or this might give a hint as to how it ultimately goes, i think it's a little too soon to tell. i think it's very, very clear that the russians in the end preferred donald trump to hillary clinton. i think it's a bit of a stretch to assume that because of that interest, they got what they wanted, doing what they did. we'll just have to see. >> pete: all this time, all this money, all these lawyers, does it feel we're underwell ming u t

we're indicting 13 russians. >> neil: you have to ask would that be so instrumental in all of the states that donald trump ended up winning. the interest in doing this goes back to years before donald trump entertained being a presidential candidate. they were planning and prepared to do something like this. but i think it bends credility to think that would bend the hand in wisconsin, ohio and all these other places where a republican suddenly emerged the winner. i think it really says very little about the american people if they could be so influenced that way. i could be naive. i just don't see that. >> pete: let me pivot you to the other story of the day, the fbi under fire for missing warning signs, a lot of them, in the shooting in florida. what do you make of it? >> neil: it's startling.

when i first heard it, now on top of these revelations, the snapchat video that appeared and with the conversation back and forth in which nikolas cruz, he was a danger to himself, we know about the comments made on youtube back in september of last year, we know of course the revelations that you're referring to, there were a lot of things that were put out there and all our security officials, including the fbi should have pounced on. they didn't for whatever reason. this goes back to the kind of things people were upset about after 9/11, that agencies weren't talking to one another, communicating with one another. this, if i'm a parents of one of those kids that died, it is the stuff of rage, just absolute rage. >> rachel: you have to wonder about the leadership at the fbi. we're seeing these stories about the pligh pot leadership, how lp matters and maybe wasn't setting

the right tone so that things were getting done at the ground level. we don't know what happened exactly. you have to wonder. especially if you're one of those parents. >> neil: that's what's going to hit you. a lot of people will look at this san and say all right, maye they were too distracted on the political stuff. i don't know. i don't know how to fbi goes about its business. as a dad myself, i got wind of this, there were ample warnings, telegraph, online, offline, anecdotally, to the fbi, to local law enforcement and they did nothing. it's easy to play monday morn quarterback but there were enough warnings. whether you like the fbi or not, whether you want to kick out the fbi director or not. >> griff: you're going to talk to pam bundy about that. >> neil: the governor of florida has indicated the fbi director has to go, saying director wray disserviced himself here. a lot of these revelations came at a time when wray hadn't even

taken over the fbi. i want to et get th to get the m bon di. >> rachel: stay with neil. up next, bass pro's biggest fishing sale of the year is here. we've got the best deals you can catch, like that. there's a rod and reel combo that's half off. i'm looking at this boat -- >> 50% off. i'm going in that boat. ♪ thank god he made me this way ♪
