got out. >> she decided to stay that and started a fund to help ed. ed will be moving into his own apartment march 1. we wish him well and thank her. thanks for joining us: i'm dana. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast. 3:00 in palm beach where president trump has been on a twitter rampage. blasting the fbi for missing signals about the accused school shooter and blaming the bureau for tying him to russia. the suspect in the school massacre is going before a judge this afternoon. we're hearing from the family that took him in where he had no where to go. what they say about his behavior before the attack and why they say he was on track to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars. also, the white house says president trump now supports changes to improve background checks for gun sales.

details? no. let's get to it. first from the fox news deck, the president spent the weekend defending himself, misrepresenting the truth and attacking others from his phone in florida. the president attacked the justice department, the national security adviser, attacked adam schiff, the dnc, hillary clinton, president obama, the previous congress and the news media before going after oprah winfrey. he did not attack vladimir putin nor russia or express concerns that the russians attacked the united states. the president stormed twitter from mar-a-largo after robert mueller gave the most concrete evidence yet of russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. in one tweet, the president

wrote "very sad the fbi missed all the signals sent out by the school shooter. very unacceptable. there's no collusion. get back to basics and make us all proud." a problem there. fbi officials acknowledged last week the bureau did not properly investigate a tip that the suspected mass murderer had a gun and wanted to kill people possibly at a school. as tim scott points out, the scoot shooting and the russia investigation are two separate issues. students from washington d.c. are staging a protest near the white house today calling for lawmakers to change gun laws. 17 teenagers lying on the ground to represent each of the victims murdered last week. the white house press secretary sarah sanders says president trump is open to changing the background checks system. her statement reads "the president spoke to the republican senator john cornyn of texas on friday about the bipartisan bill that he and chris murphy of connecticut

introduced to improve federal compliance with criminal background check legislation. while discussions are ongoing and revisions are being considered, the president is supportive of efforts to improve the federal background check system." president trump tweeted about his national security adviser after general h.r. mcmaster said there was no question russia meddle in the presidential election. >> as you can see with the fbi indictment, the evidence is incontrovertible and available in the public domain. >> rod rosenstein announced the indictment of 13 russians charged with setting up a plot to influence american voters. the president tweeted "general mcmaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians and that the only collusion was between russia and crooked h, the dnc and the dems. remember, the dirty dossier,

uranium and the podesta company." first, the indictment had nothing to do with the collusion investigation. it was about russian meddling. the collusion investigation according to our reporting is ongoing. second, the extent to which russian meddling did or did not effect the results of the election is an open question. the president also tweeted, i never said russia did not meddle in the election. i said it may be russia or china or another country or group or could be a 400-pound genius in bed playing with his computer. the reality is, the president has questioned the investigation in russian interference in the 2016 election over and over and over again. he called the russia investigation a hoax, a ruse, a democratic excuse for the election loss and a waste of taxpayer dollars to get started. here's some specifics. in september, the president

tweeted the russian hoax continues. now its ads on facebook. what about totally bias and dishonest media coverage in favor of crooked hillary? in november he told the press on board air force one that he believes vladimir putin is being sincere when the russian president said he didn't enter for in the election. the president ended his barrage of tweets by criticizing oprah winfrey after the media icon appeared again on "60 minutes" talking to a group of voters. the president wrote "just watched a very insecure oprah winfrey who at one point i knew very well, interview a panel of people on "60 minutes." the questions were bias and slanted. i hope oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated like the rest." oprah winfrey has said she's not running for president in 2020. the president's spokespersons have been on television denouncing the meddling. the president has not, not once,

not on camera, not on twitter, not anywhere. let's bring in caitlin owens. a reporter for axios. he had a busy weekend. >> he did. he touched on a lot of topics this weekend. shep, something i think that is -- we need to keep saying is the topic he did not touch on is what we're going to do next as a country to prevent this level of interference in our elections happen again. >> shepard: i've heard his spokespeople talking about the russian meddling. he sent out a tweet -- here it is. he said "obama was president up to and beyond the 2016 election so why didn't he do anything about russian meddling, but nothing about what we should do about it. there's no rally call. >> right. it seems like he's focused on blame. who is to blame for this and wants to point to obama, dems,

the investigators themselves and saying these investigations, if russians wanted to create discord in american politics, it's the investigations, not the actual interference that helped them to succeed. seems like the president is taking this personally. to make -- to pass blame elsewhere. you know, to say i never said that this was a hoax now that there's evidence that it's a concrete thing. also to make sure repeated over and over again, it's his biggest insecurity that to say that this did not cause him to win the election. that he won it all on his own. >> shepard: he actually called out one of his own for not saying that when this is just the beginning. this is one track of this clearly multitrack investigation. this was about russian meddling. it left wide open the possibility that there were other co-conspirators. we don't know who they are yet

but it's an open question. >> right. this investigation is still very much ongoing. didn't settle questions of collusion or obstruction. all the reporting we've seen is that those investigations continue. we don't know if there will be anything on those counts. we don't know yet. it's still an open question. so you know, while the president is very fixated on repeating over and over again this did not show evidence of collusion, that question is unsettled as is the question of whether this influenced -- did influence the election but how much and whether he would have won anyways. you know, those questions, law enforcement won't weigh-in on and questions that we will never know the answers to. >> shepard: the reporting is that the president had dinner with geraldo and his sons on friday night after we got this information all day. his aides told him you probably don't want to play golf this weekend because 45 minutes from here is parkland where they're dealing with the death of 17 people. you should probably lay low.

that's when the tweet start began. 13 tweets that began. is there anyone in the interim there to try to keep him focused or away from the tweet machine? >> i think that the -- the intention of keeping him off the golf course while -- seemed like it was a very sensible intention. put him in front of the tv. that's what the reporting is telling us. it's from watching the media reports of how this was playing out. had a really -- started the irritation and the tweet storms. so you know it's other people have tried to control the tweeting or encourage him to stop. the president is going to do what he wants to do. the tweets are -- they're always going to be this window into what he is thinking for the foreseeable future. >> shepard: he first said this

indictment is a vindication for him, which certainly is not. seems once he got to the mar-a-largo there in florida, that's when the defenses went up. that's when the tweeting came out. >> right. at first, there was a sense of relief. like this -- the indictments don't mention collusion or obstruction. so seems like at first there was a relief and i think that's how this was trying to be framed to him. none of the trump campaign or administration officials have -- were included in this. but i think then it turned to frustration, especially over the question of how much the russian interference contributed to his winning the election. we saw the shift in his mood. >> shepard: indeed. katelyn collins, thank you. >> good to see you too. >> shepard: world leaders are looking for help dealing with the mixed messages from the trump administration. the president tweets one thing

and his people are there saying a completely different thing. it can create, well, a bit of confusion. ahead, we'll show you how some u.s. officials are handling it with a bit of advice about to whom they should listen and whom they should ignore. that's coming up from the fox news deck on this monday afternoon, president's day. good to have you in. k that evere ignores me while i drive. it's fine. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. and i don't share it with mom! right, mom? righttt. safe driving bonus checks. only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. thisat red lobsterest. with exciting new dishes like dueling lobster tails and lobster truffle mac & cheese. classics like lobster lover's dream are here too. so enjoy these 10 lobsterlicious dishes while you can because lobsterfest won't last.

>> shepard: the head of the environmental protection agency is pushing ban on a planned trip

to israel. this comes as scott pruitt face as firestorm on the expensive plights on the taxpayer's dime. an epa spokesperson would not say why the trip is postponed but the controversy made headlines last week when he admitted that i took first or business class when flying instead of back in the back. his reason? he said his security team recommended he travel in the expensive cabin to avoid confrontations with his critics. in the back they didn't like him. u.s. officials are telling foreign leaders not to take president trump's tweets on foreign policy seriously. that's according to "the washington post" that reports that the conversations happen at a security conversation in munich over the weekend. according to "the washington post," u.s. officials spent time during the conference decoding the president's tweets, which sometimes contradict his own advisers. rich edson is at the state

department. europeans say they're getting used to trump diplomacy as they're being told to ignore his tweets? is that right? >> they're trying to navigate u.s. diplomacy during the trump administration. one said maybe this can explain why we're so perturbed when we look across the atlantic. it's no longer because we can recognize our america. we should look at what to measure america. other officials say they have learned to rely on what state department officials and other american officials are telling them. they say they understand the president is the boss here and they don't want to be the subject or have their governments be the subject of presidential tweets. president trump treated germany that germany owed nato vast sums of money. early on, president trump refused to endorse what is

called the article 5 of the nato treaty. any country that is attacked, the other countries will come to their defense. that is after allies were re-assured that the u.s. commitment to nato was iron clad. the president has feuded publicly on twitter with great britain's prime minister, with london's mayor. there's also part of this relationship, while all of this is going on or ongoing negotiations with the president disagrees with the iran nuclear deal, he wants europe to change the posture on that. the u.s. working with these european governments but they acknowledge it's different under this administration, shep. >> shepard: this concern goes beyond europe, does it not? >> yes. in capitol cities like beijing, across the middle east. tweets over the summer that the president criticized qatar on

terrorist financing. this was while the secretary of state was working with qatar to end the blockade that is still i don't know going there. the president tweeted criticism of pakistan. that prompted an emergency meeting amore senior members of the pakistani government. the trump administration did announce they were suspending aid against pakistan. the tweets can preview a significant policy change, shep. >> shepard: thanks, rich. the u.s. intelligence chief says that russia is already trying to interfere in this year's mid-terms. it's on going. now we're hearing from local election officials about the biggest risks and how they're trying to protect their own voting systems. that's next. ♪ last night took a l, but tonight i bounce back. ♪ what's an l? the rap singer took a loss and now he's ok again. right. yeah you can get a mortgage that avoids pmi,

>> shepard: the russians have a

position. the kremlin denies that it meddled in our election even after robert mueller brought charges against 13 russians including a wealthy restaurant owner nicknamed putin's chef. the indictment laid out how russian operatives visited the united states, used social media to influence voters and helped to politicize rallies in this country. a spokesman for vladimir putin said that there's no indications the russian state could be involved in this. we insist accusations are groundless. russian did not interfere, does not have a custom to interfere in other country's domestic affairs and isn't doing it now. but america's intelligence chief says moscow is already gearing up to meddle in their next elections. last week they told congress they're seeing russian activity and interactions to target the mid-terms in november. now state election officials meeting in washington to talk about how to fight back.

peter doocy has that news. he's live in washington. hi, peter. >> election officials from across the country spent a long weekend trying to figure out how to stop moscow from meddling in the election. they had a classified briefing hosted by the fbi and director of national intelligence who said in a statement that this classified session was about "increasing awareness of foreign adversary intent and capabilities against the state election infrastructure as well as a discussion of threat mitigation efforts." experts are telling us that there's a real threat to the integrity of the mid-terms. >> states should be concerned with the inadequacy of the cyber security in place. the security on those of those systems is outdated and can't match up to the modern day weaponry being created by the russian cyber adversaries. >> dhs officials say 32 states and 31 local governments are being remotely scanned by the dhs, a probe for vulnerabilities

that is not as intense ty as the on-site dhs scans happening in 14 states that are not going to be done until april, shep. >> what do state officials say they're most concerned about, peter? >> for now, it's the propaganda pedalled by russians. so far, 21 states have been targeted but no major breaches. >> the one thing we're confident up and one thing the fbi, homeland security and the office of counter intelligence are all confident of, there's no tabulation changes that occurred because of the infiltration or the attack or the scanning that actually occurred from the foreign actors. >> the democratic secretary of state of connecticut is warning that voter registration lists may be especially vulnerable to hackers because they're all online. shep? >> shepard: peter doocy live in washington. thanks. the accused florida schools shooter facing a judge earlier this afternoon. that as we learned more about the many warning signs going

back to when he was a child. also, we're hearing from the family that took the suspect in to their home after his mother died. what the they say he told them right after the school massacre. but first, bottom of the hour headlines two minutes away on fox news channel. i take pictures of sunrises,

>> shepard: the 19-year-old accused of murders 17 people at a high school in south florida in court today. the accused killer in shackles, his head down most of the time. didn't speak. this was his first physical appearance in front of a judge. last week he appeared through video conference. today's hearing had to do with keeping certain documents confidential. we're still waiting for prosecutors to say whether they will pursue death penalty. one attorney said it was designed for this type of case. the public defender says the accused killer would plead guilty if prosecutors take the death penalty off the table.

there's more involved here. also today, we're hearing from the couple that took in the accused killer after his adoptive mother died. they recently told the south florida sun sentinel newspaper they did not know they had a monster living under their roof. today they told good morning america that they felt shocked and betrayed. >> we didn't know anything. we had rules and he followed every rule to the tee. >> i'm heart broken. just heart broken. devastated. i still can't process what he's done. this wasn't the person that we knew. not at all. >> shepard: that's kimberly and james snead that took the accused in. his lawyer now describes the two as good people who tried to do the right thing by helping the young man. the couple said they -- had they none of his disturbing social media posts, they would have never let him in their house. we have team fox coverage now. steve harrigan outside the courthouse in ft. lauderdale,

florida. first, trace gallagher with more on the couple that took in this accused man. trace? >> shep, nikolas cruz went to live with james and kimberly snead last thanksgiving a few weeks after his adoptive mother died of pneumonia. the needs say they took cruz in because their son was his friend and he asked them to. they knew nikolas cruz owned guns but they bought a gun safe. james snead did not have access to the safe and snead thought he had the only key. apparently that was not the case. on the day of the shooting. nikolas cruz was living with the family and they did not see any warning signs. >> he told my son he was going to the movies. he said he had something to tell him. my son pressed him, what is it? he goes nothing bad, bro. he goes -- and that was it. then he said he was going to the movies. the last text my son got was yo, that was it.

that was about 2:18, i believe. >> 2:18 is three minutes before the shooting began when the swat team called the sneads and asked where cruz was. they didn't know. they texted their son that was fleeing the school at the time and they say they quickly put two and two together. shep? >> shepard: they talked about him being depressed, trace. >> yeah, they said he followed the rules, very polite. they describe him as being immature, quirky about the death of his mother. kimberly snead tried to get him some counselling. they had no idea about the things that cruz was posting on social media and saw no signs of any animal cruelty. they said that he loved their animals. that's why they were so baffled by the attack. here's kimberly snead talking about seeing nikolas cruz after the shooting. >> it was at the police station when they were going passed us.

i went after him. i wanted to strangle him more than anything. everything i wanted to say just didn't -- i tried to reserve myself. really, nick? really? i yelled at him. he mumbled something. he said he was sorry. >> yeah. before that, he said he was going fishing and then he said he was going to the movies. he said he didn't go to school on valentine's day. the sneads say nikolas cruz told them that when he was 22 years old, he was set to inherit about $800,000. they said they saw paperwork to support that claim. >> shepard: thanks. steve harrigan is outside the courthouse in ft. lauderdale. steve? >> shepard, this was the first live like at the suspected shooter, 19-year-old nikolas cruz came out in a red jump suit. that color reserved for the most violent offenders.

shackled. he spoke nothing. he looked down the entire time make nothing eye contact at all. broward county sheriff says he's being kept in solitary confinement and also under suicide watch. the sheriff explained means there's eyes on him at all times. his public defender says cruz is likely to plead guilty to 17 counts of first degree murder in an effort to try to avoid the death penalty. shepard? >> shepard: the governor is asking for answers on tips missed. steve? >> that's right. perhaps the biggest scandal so far, the biggest dropped ball is the fbi admitting that they dropped the ball on a call to its tip line february 5. the caller mentioned cruz by name. he said cruz had a gun, was erratic and wanted to kill people and possibly a school shooter. the fbi did nothing about this according to reports so far. the florida governor is just incensed about it. he said the director of the fbi should redescribe and that all information about this tip should be released immediately.

this is not the only organization to drop the ball in this case. this 19-year-old, nikolas cruz got in trouble in middle school. he was disciplined from his schools at least 40 separate times for violence, fighting, drawing swastikas. the police went to his home more than 30 times in six years, calling 911 once every two months. finally a report from the dcf, the department of children and families, their counselor have it -- visited cruz once with his mother and he was low risk to harm himself or anybody else. seems like everybody dropped the ball, shepard. >> shepard: thanks, steve. let's turn to bob bianchi. former prosecutor. department of children, families, local police. county folks, state folks. federal folks. everywhere. >> you know, when i was head

prosecutor, we dealt with in 2007 a thing called intelligence policing. it's not so much a police gun but computer terminal. doing tryiaging, red flags. so many points of data that this kid was in trouble and specifically that he would commit an act of violence at the school on a federal, state and local level. it's confounding that it wasn't picked up. >> shepard: what could anybody have done? >> a good point. if he's not committed a crime, not much they could do. how about a welfare check? how about letting him know we're watching you? that has an effect to slow him down a little bit. let's so if he's purchasing weapons. if he's purchasing a lot, it's consistent what everybody is saying about him committing an act of violence. if there's a psychiatric history looking for an involuntary commitment. >> shepard: on the death penalty, because that's an issue in florida, one of the lawyers said this case was made for

this. not if he's found to be -- to have mental issues that are serious and ruled such by a judge, right? is that how it works? >> as a person that used to make these decisions, i'm not a fan of the death penalty. i do agree with this prosecutor. if there was a case where the death penalty is appropriate, it's this one. he knew what he was doing president even if he was mentally ill. >> shepard: who makes that decision? >> ultimately a jury makes the decision. what the experts will do, they'll show he planned it, plotted it, show he knew the difference between right and wrong. that's the standard. hard to win for the defense. what comes into play, the mitigating factor a penalty phase where a jury could say he's guilty of murder but the failure of others to reach out to him, we're not going to give him the death penalty. but a trial lawyer that has done this, i don't see jurors doing

anything convicting him due to the heinous nature of this crime. >> shepard: there's a matter of the defense offering up we'll take life, no trial necessary as opposed to the death penalty. not unheard of in the state of florida. these things are expensive and sometimes just awful on survivors. >> the montra is, keep him alive another day, another hour and another second. but it's snow and winter, shep. what prosecutor would -- it's a locked case for a prosecutor. at trial they'll get a conviction for murder. so as far as i as a prosecutor will look at it, let's go for the death penalty. okay. some mitigating factors here. if we lose the death penalty, we're getting what the defense is offering anyway. i wouldn't do it. i can tell you this from having death with victims. you can be assured these people, the death penalty won't be enough for this guy in the eyes of most of the families here.

they want to go full board with this and get the maximum penalty. >> shepard: we haven't heard from them as individuals on this. i'm wondering, will prosecutors as a matter of custom at least, will they talk to the victims? some were shot and survived, some whose family members survived, would they get input on matters of this kind? >> yeah. we mostly sit down with the victims to get their input. they can't decide what will happen with the case. when i first started trying cases back in the day, why never contacteded the victim's families. today you must consult them. you must -- and take into consideration their point of view. you have 17 families at least and even -- 17 murder victims and even more. you're not going to get a consensus. the majority of the people will want the prosecutor to go full tilt for the death penalty. >> shepard: trace reported on --

that he would receive from age 22 $800,000 from the death of his mother. what happens to that money? is there something -- >> if i were representing the victim's family, you file a u.s. i'll have complaint and go before the court right now. there's a trustee for that money. he can't get that money until he's 22. i would want to freeze the assets, so they can't be depleted. the interesting issue, the trustee may say he's entitled to use that for the defense. the judge may take that into consideration. if you have a civil case on a wrongful death like the o.j. case, that there's money at the end of the day to pay the judgment. that's a significant amount of money. they'll try to tie that up, shep. >> shepard: thanks, bob bianchi. rex tillerson is responding to the nuclear threat from north korea now. he say it makes him nervous but the united states is fighting back with, as he puts it, large sticks. no carrots. a live report from the pentagon just ahead.

>> shepard: isis claiming responsibility for an attack that killed at least 27 iraqi fighters. happened about 160 miles north of baghdad. iraqi military officials say the islamic state militants disguised themselves in army uniforms and were overseeing a fake checkpoint. the deadly ambush comes a month or a couple months, i should say, after the country declared victory over isis after more than three years of heavy fighting. an iraqi military spokesman blamed islamic state sleeper cells and forces were searching the area to find those responsible. america's top diplomat says kim jong-un has made him nervous. rex tillerson answering questions about the country's nuclear capabilities and threats on cbs's "60 minutes." >> it does make us nervous.

it also stiffens our resolve. that kind of a threat to the american people by a regime like this is not acceptable. >> shepard: that from the broadcast last night. president trump said rex tillerson is working with james mattis and the military to make sure the united states is ready for anything. he also said he will continue to pursue diplomacy. our national security correspondent jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. jennifer? >> it's rare for the secretary of state to give it is-down interviews to the press. he's done so twice in the last few weeks. rich edson had one. secretary of state tillerson and jim mattis are united when it comes to increasing north korea to get rid of their nuclear weapons. mattis describes tillerson as his battle buddy. the two are very close in this administration. >> we're not using a carrot to convince them. we're using large sticks. that's what they need to understand.

you're ready to talk. >> the response from north korea today, they're ready for "dialogue and war." when the olympics end and the charm offensive is over, all eyes will be on u.s. south korean military drills in april and whether kim jong-un decides to test u.s. resolve with more missiles or nuclear tests before the olympics, he held a military parade showing off his nuclear capability. expect the u.s. to try to gain support for a full naval blockade and their part to pressure china. the next eight to ten months will be make or break in avoid ago war. >> shepard: thanks, jennifer. have you heard about this cruise? the one passengers are calling a cruise from hell? now carnival is announcing an investigation in how staffers responded to this brawl that is reported to have gone on for days. critics say fergie just gave one of the worst national anthem

uniforms. notice as a representative of russia but -- the a.p. reports the athlete had medals. there he is. in curling! why does one need to dope to curl? i don't know. the russian curling president, there's one of those, said it's possible that somebody spiked the athlete's food. and then fergie. the grammy winning singer performing a rendition of the star spangled banner at the all-star game. just clapping. not sure about the rest of it. she's apologized, fergie. just happened to -- did you see it? >> i got john to help pull it up. >> i pulled it up. it's from the tmz. she says i've always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem. i wanted to do something special

for the nba. clearly this rendition did not strike the ten. honestly, i did my best. >> twitter loved it. twitter has a lot to say. >> shepard: it does. you still read that machine? >> sometimes. when it's fun. question i haven't heard anyone asking, did anyone hear fergie's rehearsal saying yeah, this sounded great and not chime in. she needs better friends. fergie's national anthem finished 30 minutes ago and i haven't recovered. a part of me won't be the same. we hope he's doing better today. fergie was singing in a car that sounded like it kept making sharp turns. that's a good comparison. i've seen the national anthem performed hundreds of times but never in the key of happy birthday mr. president, referencing marilyn monroe. and roseanne tweeted. she's gone down in history of having one of the worst national anthems in history. 1990.

i'm trying to manage my a1c, and then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. he told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. and while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people

with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®. i had a very minor fender bender tonight! in an unreasonably narrow fast food drive thru lane.
