8:00 pm
>>all right. that's all the time we have time. but remember this. keep positive. keep the agenda moving forward. this is a good time. the best is yet to come, but today is pretty good. tweet me at the ingraham angle. >> back in campaign mode, president trump electrifies cpac. and as students take to the streets, rick harrison gets fired up over education in america. he joins us live. and a california woman so positive she saw big foot, she's going to court to prove it. we'll debate. you decide.
8:01 pm
hello and welcome to fox news at night. i'm shannon in washington. president trump proposing big policy changes. the president tossing out what he called a boring script. good evening, leland. >> shannon, nice to be with you, nice to be with you at home. the president wore a lot of hats today. love him, hate him, disagree with him, disagree but like the show, there was literally something for everybody, including harsh language for the sheriff's deputy who shadow outside a florida high school while a gunman killed 17 children. >> that's a case where somebody was outside. they're trained. they didn't react properly under
8:02 pm
pressure or they're a coward. it was a real shot to the police department. >> all right. that was the president fired up. you can here marine one in the background. he was heading for the conservative political action convention. firing up a crowd that republicans will need if they keep democrats at bay come november. >> they will take away those massive tax cuts and they will take away your second amendment. by the way, if you only had a choice of one, what would you rather have? second amendment or the tax cuts? >> you be the judge on which one got the louder applause. he put the crowd back in rally mode. to a rarely self-deprecating president. >> by the way, what a nice
8:03 pm
picture that is. look at that. i would love to watch that guy speak. i try like hell to hide that bald spot, folks. i work hard at it. it doesn't look bad. hey, we're hanging in. >> in a speech he touted his accomplishments and new sanctions in north korea, he also picked on some favorites. >> we had a very crooked media. we had a very crooked candidate too, by the way. we have a very, very crooked media. >> haven't heard that chant in a while. some might say the president's second annual appearance at cpac proves just how much can change in a few years. march 2015, then candidate trump didn't show up at cpac. now he is their hero.
8:04 pm
i think we are never leaving 2016, which is of course the democrat's nightmare. >> i'm surprised he was smiling. >> it was a chagrin smile after a few drinks. >> okay. well, we haven't started drinking here yet. >> not yet. >> the now white house policy implemented by chief of staff was scheduled to go into effect today. employees with interim security clearances and a background will not be allowed access to top-secret information. the latest indication of rising tensions between the president's chief of staff and the president's son-in-law. and the president says he's staying out of it. >> and under chief of staff john kelly's new security guidelines, the president's
8:05 pm
son-in-law may have already lost access to top-secret information. sources tell fox news department attorney general rod rosenstein informed the white house two weeks ago that kushner's investigation would still be ongoing today. the department attorney general has not referenced to the white house any specific concerns. at a white house press conference this afternoon, president trump blamed the longstanding clearance process. >> it's a broken system and it shouldn't take this long. you know how many people on that list? people with not a problem in the world. that'll be up to general kelly. he respects jared a lot and he will make that call. i won't make that call. i will let the general, who's right here, make that call. >> son-in-law has done an
8:06 pm
outstanding job. president obama's former ethic czar tweeted, " no." including weighing in on clearance issues. it worked fine. it's this administration that's broken. kelly announced an overhaul to the security process last week in response to the case of rob porter. the former white house staff secretary who remained in his job with access to classified information months after two ex-wives reported abuse to the fbi. shannon. >> with the latest from the white house, thank you very much. and new developments tonight in special counsel robert mueller. hit with new charges just a couple of hours after his former business parter gates pleaded
8:07 pm
guil guilty. but does any of this have anything to do with russian collusion. joining us now, white house correspondent. so what does all of this mean today, this deal with gates and now the new charges against manafort? what does it add up to for the white house? it doesn't seem like it adds up to much of anything. it was really back when the two were initially brought under charges by mueller. but now the perception that the two of them were engaged in shady business practices before they were connected with the trump campaign is sort of baked into the cake. so make mueller is filing new charges against them, maybe particularly in the case of manafort there's no legal jeopardy. when it comes to president trump, i think the damage has been done and there's not a whole lot more that mueller can do there.
8:08 pm
but no indictments related to collusion. we have tax invasion, those kinds of things, and lying to garrett -- investigators. >> right, mueller has unveiled no evidence so far of collusion. and if anything, if indictments he's handed down so far have worked to weaken the case of collusion. you look at the 13 indictments against russians last week hand down on friday and you see that mueller is claiming not only did he find no evidence of collusion but any contact between russians and associated of president trump. no americans were willing participants in this scheme. so i think that as we go along, we're seeing more and more that mueller has nothing that resemblings collusion. >> they show a large-scale criminal enterprise. if true, they also show --
8:09 pm
that assumes that the president knew. but democrats clearly say this is not good news for the white house. >> yeah, clearly anytime we have a former close associate of the president coming under these kinds of criminal charges, it's not good. but we have no evidence that president trump knew any of this. we know that it wasn't very deep. manafort was someone brought in on the recommendation that people president trump trusted at a time when he needed someone who knew the ways of washington. that ended up being a bit of a double-edged sword. he was a little bit part of the -- he had been involved in the kind of shady lobbying practices that are ultimately putting him in so much legal jeopardy. i think that while manafort was at the time a very short-term benefit to president trump.
8:10 pm
there's no evidence that president trump ever had a relationship. >> notwithstanding that rick gates pled guilty today, i continue to maintain my innocence. i would hope and expect if i business colleague would have the strength to prove our innocence. this does not alter my commitment to defend myself. and there are now new charges. so we will watch as this trial -- they take forever, but we'll get there and see whether charges are added on top of what manafort is already facing. good to see you. turns out there may have been dozens of opportunities to stop florida gunman nikolas cruz before he killed 17 people last week.
8:11 pm
social services and mental health professionals also investigated cruz in 2016 after snapchat videos show him cutting both of his arms. cruz was not at risk to harm himself or others and the teen was apparently instructed to sign a safety contract. >> it is nobody that loves the second amendment more than i do and there's nobody that respects the nra. they're friends of mine. they're friends of mine. they're great people. they're patriots. they're great people. but we really do have to strengthen up background checks. we have to do that. >> that was president trump today addressing cpac, touting his support for the second amendment and support of the nra while at the same time signaling he's open to some gun control measures. jumping on what they're calling a false-hope bandwagon could hurt republicans come november.
8:12 pm
gentlemen, welcome to you both. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> i want to read a little bit from a piece and said, the republicans seem to be caving on stuff they don't need to cave on. a need to be seen as doing something. what's odd is that it's necessary. there's plenty republicans could do in parkland's wake that's far more sensible and would do more good. >> yeah, i think that ultimately republicans need to be careful to not argue on the left's turf here, which is to go after guns. this is being obviously as a pretext for gun control and that conversation is going to happen. but i think the reason oftentimes you hear the president vocalize something like this, raising the age at which you purchase a gun, is that he's trying to show he
8:13 pm
hears the people making requests of him. but the facts, as that he bear out, i think really demonstrate that this is not an issue where we go after guns. the assault weapons ban was passed in 1994. 2% of all gun crimes committed with those so-called assault weapons. this has always been a solution in search of a problem going after these guns this way and instead not looking at the root causes which include mental health and systemic failures of government. >> and some of the things that folks are talking about, they say we need to investigate the fbi to find out exactly how these kinds of very specific warning calls, how they fell through the cracks. and one allegedly was just weeks ago. they say we need to clean up the background system. the house has done it.
8:14 pm
and also we have to tackle the issue of mental health. it is a very difficult complex conversation. where do you stand on this point? >> i agree with cleaning up whatever procedures weren't followed. this is one incident. the fbi screwed up here and that's a problem and it needs to be fixed and we need to address whatever processes and procedures need to be fixed. databases that the states aren't required to submit information to. but to just deny the facts, oh, only 3% shootings were done. yes, let's make it more difficult to kill people rapidly in a short period of time that sheriff's deputies were afraid to even follow their own procedures. germany had a spate of school shootings and addressed it. they ended those school shootings. they've had one since they implemented all of their severe background checks. you need to
8:15 pm
have a psychological exam before you been buy a firearm. don't give me a constitutional argument. it very clearly lays out that the state has the right to regulate what is sold to whom and how they can actually carry it. we need to be a much better job there. >> many states and localities do that. and many with the toughest laws have the worst crime. >> they need to be done at the federal level. you can't do it at the state and local level. indiana's 30 minutes away. that's a ridiculous argument. this has to happen at the federal level. >> do you want to get into the 10th amendment? there's got to be some due process. >> federal government has the rioting to pass whatever law they want. if the federal government said you're going to have a psychological background exam. we're going to raise the age to
8:16 pm
25 or 21 or whatever it is. they own that territory under the second amendment. >> no matter where you fall on this limitation, the truth is about protecting these children and what would have protected these children. any new laws suggested by you? >> let's stop so people can hear you. okay. let's stop just for a second so folks can hear you. >> do you want to confiscate all semiautomatic in the united states? >> no. >> then you would not have short circuited this in any way. >> it's what i just said. you're dishonest. >> let's talk about the facts here. >> gentlemen, let's talk about some facts here. but there's seems to be some
8:17 pm
agreement across the board that this issue, everybody is open to having a conversation about that and possibility regulating or outlawing something that turns a semiautomatic weapon, which is legal, into something not legal, which is an automatic weapon. we just need to work from factual information. the truth is that teenagers who commit gun crimes, the vast majority of them have stolen their weapons or gotten through an adult that aided them. so we'll see. but we thank you both for having a very spirited conversation. as a man known as putin's chef, now he's said to be behind a bloody battle with us forces in syria. and president trump's idea for a military parade on veteran's

indicted has also reportedly just targeted us forces in syria. amy kellogg joins us with more. >> not only to run a troll farm and manage a russian mercenary force, but according to new intelligence, he may have been very involved in coordinating an attack on february 7th on a us military base in syria. russian military i have spoken to say they believe it's entirely likely that he was in the middle of all this and with the blessing of the kremlin. it's widely said to manage the
8:23 pm
shadowy battalion called wagner. they claim he also gets a 25% cut of syrian oil revenue. the attack on the us base where american troops work closely with syrian rebel allies was very close to the oil fields. using the wagner battalion many say gives russia the ability to claim its military is not in ukraine and not in syria. this mother said her son went to fight to earn some money, though she begged him not to go. she doesn't even go about learning the truth about what happened to him. all she knows is the americans killed him on february 7th and she doesn't even know what her son was in syria to do. >> why were they taken away?
8:24 pm
why does this organization exist? >> one military analyst told fox news that what surprises him is that the russians didn't pull those troops back when they got a warning from america about what was to come. >> we were informed that in a few minutes, americans would strike. they didn't try to stop this, know that hundreds of russians would be killed in a few minutes. >> we don't know how many russian mercenaries were killed. we initially heard it was 100 or more. they tried to deny that any russian citizens were killed and admitted that it might have been five, now they're saying dozens. they're insists these were volunteers. >> thank you very much.
8:25 pm
rob o'neill, the navy seal who killed bin laden. >>they've gotten mercenaries in that they're paying so they can say they're not russian soldiers on the ground but they're doing the dirty work. these russian mercenaries went in first and then they were followed up by the syrian forces. there's plausible deniability. the us was actually letting the rounds get within to 500 meters before they're going to reengage. and these mercenaries learned the hard way that you don't want to go up against the united states head to head. we hit them.
8:26 pm
there were advanced missile systems and they killed 300 of these people. but russia can say that's not our guy. these aren't our forces. who knows what they're doing there? they kind of jabbed at the us to see what the response would be and they found out it's pretty violent. >> this is what one report said. this businessman known as putin's chef, he's believed to control a launched attack. and they say that afterwards he was in touch with them, too. >> he was even saying to the regime that something special is coming within if next few days. he knew he was doing it and getting permission through the chain of command to go through in the kremlin.
8:27 pm
and the chef -- this guy's a unique individual. he started off going to prison. then he started a hot dog stand and got all these fancy restaurants. he's served bush. he's an odd ball. >> okay. so now we have this idea that the president -- there's a memo now confirmed by fox news that he's talking to the defense department about putting together this military parade. we have your tweet. you said a military parade is third-world bull blank. we prepare, we deter, we fight. stop this conversation. you think it's a bad idea? >> this is a bad idea. and i used to be in the navy, so that's a little bit of sailor language. i think president trump's heart is in the right place. i know he backs the troops. but everything that goes along with this parade to the preparation, the weeks of preparation to learn how to march, knowing it needs to be perfect because one misstep and
8:28 pm
all the sudden we don't have a good military. the tanks. how do we get tanks there? our tanks are not designed to roll down the interstate. if you want to support the troops, which i know trump does, just tweet out -- >>we can spot them. i have plenty of them in my family as well. if you have any comment of this idea that the defense secretary has made recommendations to the white house about transgender people serving in the military. we think the recommendation he made is that if they can deploy for a year or more overseas, great. otherwise, this may not be a right fit. the center for military readiness, convoluted policies are about political correctness. what does the white house do
8:29 pm
with this? >> yeah, that's a tough one. i don't think the military should be a place for experimentation. i have a friend who is a 20-year navy seal and then transitioned to a woman. and she fought for that right and that's great. it's difficult for me because i'm not in that position. i don't know what it feels likes. i am a big believer that if you fight for the country and can live up to the standards, you should have an equal opportunity to try out. the social experimentation -- when i was getting out of the navy, the big thing was repealing don't ask, don't tell. we didn't care. it didn't married -- matter to us. the military is there to fight and deter. >> and we'll see what the white house decides. great to see you and have fun at cpac tomorrow. well, rick harrison of the pawn stars hits cpac tomorrow as
