"fox & friends" is here. brian: right. ainsley: everything is okay. your life is so much better. steve: live from new york. good to have you last day of february, 2018. brian: unless we decide today to make it leap year it's ultimately our decision. we will decide today if there will be a 29th.

steve: in the first hour before us, rob schmitt said he had never seen me wear a green necktie. for some reason and i don't wear this very often. you are wearing a green necktie. brian: i have no idea why. ainsley: y'all are wearing it that guy in chicago that is smoking pot -- running for office and smoking pot. rob said you are wearing the green for that guy. brian: coming up a little bit later. by the way, i don't think that's a good idea to smoke pot in campaign ad. steve: i think wearing a green tie is a good idea. ainsley: just getting ready for march. march 18th saint patrick's day. brian: rob is already at the bar. he left. he can't hear you where he is right now. ainsley: getting ready for saint patrick's day. steve: a considerable time ago the president of the united states essentially tweeted out the obama administration wiretapped

him when he was in the tower. now we are learning that the attorney general of the united states has taken the suggestions that the obama administration may have had some fisa abuse in the fast pasw what he is doing is having the inspector general for the department of justice look into any abuses. here is the attorney general yesterday. >> we believe the department of justice must adhere to the high standards in the fisa court. and, yes, it will be investigated. and i think that's just the appropriate thing, inspector general will take that as one of the matters he will deal with. brian: inspector general michael horowitz is going to be doing that he has his hands full already. we are expecting his other report leading up to how the investigation of hillary clinton as well as russian involvement in the election. that's due out in april. so horowitz better bulk up his staff. now we are going to look at not only this, i understand. go back and look at other things. this fisa court will not be

effective physicals there is this thing called integrity done. we are trusting in the secret court that our top law enforcement officials are going to be handing this judge information that's going to allow them to go forward to pursue, we thought for the most part, terrorists. certainly not campaigns. ainsley: i have a few questions about him though. steve: michael horowitz? ainsley: yes. because doj and fbi highest standards, right? highest power in the land as far as law enforcement is concerned. this guy, he workers for the doj? steve: he does. ainsley: he is going to be investigating the doj? should would he be worried about that. steve: he apparently is a man of integrity. the reasonable we are talking so much about fisa abuse these days is we have learned from the republican and democratic memos that have come out in the last couple weeks it looks like somebody at the fbi and doj went in front of these fisa courts and said hey i have some evidence you need to spy on carter page. ainsley: unverified dirty dossier. steve: we have gone through it ad nauseam where it did

not indicate that it was paid for by the democrats, on and on and on. sara carter who has been one of the great reporters on this particular story, kind of sets up, last night she did, on what the investigators are going to look into. >> what we need to look at and i think the inspector general is going to do, this is how many other cases out there that we don't know about, cases that aren't public that is what they are going to be looking at. they will talk to people at the fizz court, they will be talking to the judges. they will be looking at the documents. documents we aren't privy to because they are classified. look how difficult it was to get to the bottom of just carter page. i think this is what the attorney general wants to do. he wants to expand this investigation and take a hard look at this to ensure this does not happen in the future. brian: why, in my hummable opinion, is this happening? because america got a chance to see dueling memos. we don't have access to underlying documents to make our own opinion. we have busy lives and

people that depend on this. we can't do this as a sole focus. it's so complicated. let's look into the entire process and made people like matt gaetz a relatively new lawmaker in florida do something go back to 2013 and said adam schiff had a great idea. he wanted to spread out the number of judges that are involved in this fisa court and make them more i guess emblematic of the entire country representing states outside the so-called swamp. so there should be no problem when he proposed doing this officially yesterday. it was just a matter of dusting off something adam schiff put together. listen. >> it seems odd, tucker that when barack obama was president, democrats wanted to give the president more power to work with the senate to get members of the fisa court that aren't part of the d.c. swamp but that come from all over america and have the opportunity to represent the values that americans hold dear regarding their liberties. i didn't change one comma in adam schiff's bill. i refiled it because i think that republicans and democrats are going to be in

power in the future and if there are bipartisan ideas that would have more transparency and more oversight and protect our civil liberties, i think we ought to work together rather than working separately. >> did he send you a thank will text when did you that. >> i asked for him to co-sponsor it and i just haven't heard back yet. steve: what is in originally mr. schiff's bill? while it would make judges subject, fisa judges subject to presidential appointment and senate confirmation as well. so mr. schiff was actually before the bill before he was apparently not interested. ainsley: why isn't he for the bill now? steve: good question. brian: waiting for him to get back to us because he is not shy about being on camera. only person on camera more is the president of the united states. because he has been -- not on this network so to speak but on the others. it's been the adam schiff show. ainsley: in other news, lawsuit, you had something else to say about that. steve: more than the president my pillow guy. brian: he has a great story

to say. is there a portion of the my pillow story we have not examined yet? i'm not sure. ainsley: his commercials are long but we are grateful for them. he buys a lot of time on all the networks including ours. steve: he sold i think 90 million pillows. brian: why america is oversleeping. ainsley: california brought up this lawsuit to say they didn't want the president to continue the wall for environmental reasons. there is a judge, judge curl, you remember him. we put up his picture you will remember seeing him. he was the one hearing the trump university case and the president wasn't sure if he could do that and not be biased since his parents were immigrants, you know. steve: from mexico. ainsley: anyway, that judge agreed to allow the president to continue on with the wall. he did not side in favor of the state of california. steve: that's right. that means the administration can continue wavinwaiving regulations to.

it turns out this guy decided with donald trump's administration. brian: yeah, in fact, this will be very interesting. i don't know if the president wants to build a wall still since nancy pelosi came up with great idea about mowing the lawn first. so can you mow the lawn and build the wall. steve: yeah, i think. so meanwhile, we told you about the oakland, california mayor who a couple of days ago said hey, i have heard there are going to be some raids on people in the immigrant communities, so just, you need to know your rights. well, as it turns out over the last couple of days they have had some raids nut san francisco, oakland, and northern california area. and it's been very successful. ainsley: right. so she felt sorry for them, i guess. because she said you are here illegally but have you so much going against you. you worked so hard to get here. so i am going to knock on your door and let you know you could be arrested if you stay here. many of them ended up fleeing and leaving that area because of her warning.

brian: the acting director will being with us a little bit later there were a series of raids regardless yesterday very successful it seems. sings sunday we understand ice deportations, officers have ardmore than 150 individuals who are in violation of federal u.s. immigration laws working on leads developed by the local field office in conjunction with the national criminal analysis and targeting center. they are not going tore people necessarily that are just here. they are going for people that are threats and have a criminal background. steve: it sounds really good they were able to arrest 150 people, right? as it turns out they say 864 criminal aliens, not just illegal aliens, criminal aliens are still at large and they feel that many of them ran because of the mayor's warning. ainsley: yep. steve: meanwhile the mayor you have san francisco across the bay had a statement. ainsley: this was his statement. san francisco is and will always remain a sanctuary city as the trump administration pursues their political plan of haphazardly punishing

sanctuary cities. we will not cower. we stand your hard working law abiding immigrants neighbors and we are unified in our response to the diverse rhetoric of this president. and, you know, the president, i believe, based on him allowing the daca recipients to stay, he agrees they should be able to stay answered supports them. it's the criminals. it's the 800 and some odd criminals in that one area. that's what the president has said. he doesn't want criminal illegals here in this country. brian: i think when people overstay heir i have and their d don't show up for court. if you pull the peopl poll the f california they actually don't want to be a sanctuary state. maybe the politicians should listen to them. steve: meanwhile, it's a busy, busy morning and jillian joins us with a fox news alert. jillian: we are following breaking news. let's get right to the fox news alert. 11 people are sick. three of them hospitalized

the conservative think tank claims that this stage of arresting presidency, for example, he has completed just 49% of his agenda. a lot of people say he was the standard. tommy is a director of congressional relations at heritage foundation joins us right now. tommy, when did you realize the president was on such a roll in terms of your agenda? >> well, remember that first week all those executive orders right out of the gate? there was one on immigration. there was one on obamacare. right away he started with that. right away he started with a great supreme court justice nominee. so you could tell that this was a president intent on keeping his promises right away that first week after january 20th. brian: i mean, some of them stuff he pledged to do the paris climate change got a lot of people upset but he felt he followed through on it repealing net neutrality getting challenged but still doing that reshaping national monuments, we know that especially out west. and then reinstating the mexico city policy, increasing military spending

and reforming temporary assistance for needy families. so a lot of these are the executive order elements of it. but to be a successful president, you got to get something done legislatively, what do you think the tax reform is one. what do you think should be next? >> well, i think congress could go back to obamacare repeal for sure. when they get to 50 votes in the senate. they have got to do that. that's a big promise. already got the individual mandate repealed in tax reform. going back to obamacare is a big deal. welfare reform is something this president supports. something the speaker of the house supports it could get done this year. that's getting people out of poverty rather than leaving them depend denting on the government as the current system does. brian: how do you stand as a conservative group if the president starts cutting deals, many of which might lead to accepting some principles that are not conservative, for example, two of the four pillars when it comes to what he wants in fades one of immigration? as president reagan practiced.

come back. we will weigh those deals. some of them are going to be bad. some of them are going to be a bridge too far. absolutely. to get things done in this town you have got to do a little rock rolling and we expect to see that. brian: tommy, i understand no one mike pence is he a conservative's conservative. a lot of people didn't know what to expect at president trump. did people at heritage have trepidations of course? >> sure you always have trepidations about any president. what was true is that we had the opportunity to brief this president 8 times during the campaign we made an offer. any policy help you need any policy analysis. there are 70 alumni in the trump administration there is a loft trust and collaboration there we are proud of. this analysis shows exactly how conservative this president is. brian: the heritage gained power and certainly has the president's respect. tommy binion, thanks so much. >> thanks. brian: remember when james comey said this about president trump. >> seen the tweet about tapes lordy i hope there are

steve: thank you very much, ainsley. the supreme court taking up a case this week that could change a requirement for workers being forced to pay union dues even though they are not in the government union. the plaintiff talked about the potential impact yesterday right here on this show. >> i think the government unions it's going to level the playing field. i also think that the unions are going to have to connect with their membership much more. steve: is mark janus right? here for debate republican strategist matt macoviac he joins us screen left and michael starr hopkins. good morning to both. >> good morning. >> good morning. steve: michael, let's start with you, this guy mark janus, does not belong to the government union, right? but he has to pay union dues, he says that's not fair. you think it is fair, why? >> i do for almost 50 years the court, the supreme courts recognized that even though people aren't members of unions they receive the benefits of those unions.

for example, when teachers unions or when firefighters or police unions collectively bargain, even an individual may not be a member of that union because they bargain for hire wages, better healthcare, they get those benefits so they can't be free riders of that system. steve: matt, why is he wrong? >> we have the first amendment in this country there is free speech and freedom of association. so, these are this case relates to public sector unions and relates to the 22 states that are not right-to-work states. relates to 5 million such workers. and the issue is do you entirely give up your first amendment and free association rights just because you work in the public sector in one of those states? i think that's the argument the plaintiff is making. if the union is doing something or saying something that they disagree with whether it's lobbying or political contributions or whether a negotiation with the government. if you disagree with that you are being compelled to be a part of that union and to subsidize that activity.

steve: that's right. michael, matt just mentioned lobbying, pretty much 9% of all union dues go to democrats. so if you are a republican. awngsd are being forced to pay dues that you don't want to pay to a union you don't belong to, how do you think you are going to feel about your money going to support somebody from the other political party? >> i understand how someone could think that that's not fair. but they also have the ability to organize within that union. i was a member of the union here for the public defenders in manhattan. there were things i didn't agree with that union. we still came together and made decisions and i supported the union because the union would support me whenever there was an issue. that's kind of how unions work. it's a give and take. unions have raised wages by a little over 11% in states that aren't right-to-work states. so, we have got to make sure we protect those people. steve: matt, at the end of the day, doesn't it come down to this, if you are going to belong to a union that should be voluntary. your manipulat membership shoule

voluntary and then if you belong you would pay the dues. >> absolutely. you know, you would think it would be easy for an organization to grow its ranks and grow its budget if being a member was not a choice. and that's the case with unions broadly but it's specifically the case in public sector situations. as you rightly note, steve, the vast majority of their contributions go to democrats. and in many cases they are working with the government on the other side, which is fighting on their side as they are in states like new jersey and california and others. >> i want to make. >> i t. comes down to first amendment. >> one quick point, when it comes to unions, i mean, this is the epitome of activist courts if they overturn this court's ruling. nothing that changed in the 50 years sings the courts court cited. steve: comes down to choice. >> when state is acting as an employer not as regulator it's a lower standard of review.

here it would be a lower standard of review which would be a rational basis. steve: it could be close but then again you never know with this supreme court. matt and michael thank you very much. good discussion on this wednesday morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. steve: what's the line for jim minimum kimmel when it comes to attacking the president and conservatives? well, is there one? >> i don't think can you go too far. i think that, you know, i'm still doing a comedy show and i need to be funny and entertain my audience. steve: tomi lahren has something to say about mr. kimmel she is next. one town's solution to save the environment. ban the plastic utensils you see right there. happy birthday to jason aldean. he is 41 years old today. is he probably watching. jason, happy birthday. ♪ that's the way we get down ♪ in a hick town ♪

of. they are claiming that they don't give an option of innocence. they say trump impeachment, removal or conviction. it's not trump guilty or innocent. they have already convicted him here. right? >> yeah, i mean, they had the opportunity to go over each and every case of impeachment throughout the united states' history. you know, bill clinton, richard nixon and those cases. but, like you said, they didn't take the opportunity to do that. their message is very clear. and we see this all the time. college campuses, especially san diego state university there is tons of liberal bias and it's honestly not surprising, unfortunately. ainsley: you are absolutely right about that. let's read the statement from the school. san diego state university sent us. this the course present an overall framework of impeachment, removal of criminal investigation of a president. rather than focusing on president trump. so they say that's an overall framework of what the impeachment process is and they are not focusing on the president. even though his name is in the title. what do you say? >> i mean, it's clear. his name is in the title. it's very clear what the

the last day of february 2018. ainsley: unicorns and dragons are not real. listen, we have lots to talk about. this is a big headline. you know, what we have learned over the last couple of weeks is the republicans and the democrats both came out with their memos, the republican alleged fisa abuse said that fisa warrants were obtained pretty much corruptly by not telling the whole truth. well, the whole question comes down to this: do you think that was the only time there was a fisa abuse during the obama administration because now this attorney general at the behest of the president of the united states is going to look into making sure everything was followed legally in that department. brian: with the inspector general. the inspector general is going to overlook this along with the department of justice to find out this whole secret fisa system that was set up primarily got great emphasis after the patriot act. they said we need a court that allows our investigator like the fbi and nsa to move quickly in order to stop the next terrorist attack.

but if it's being used and i'm not saying it is but if it's being used for political purposes this has to be exposed because this is the definition of the scandal. ainsley: it raises serious concerns about the integrity of these agencies that we look to that are so powerful and do have the power to do. this if they did it, we don't know. steve: the power is this: these fisa courts are approving the federal government to monitor american citizens and that's what is so extraordinary because they figure the person, the american citizen is talking to somebody overseas. and so that's how they can do it. but, the big question is with this carter page fisa application, which happened time after time after time. were all the cards laid on the table? it doesn't look like it. ainsley: so important for the fisa court to ask the proper questions. we don't have the transcripts. steve: it's a secret court. ainsley: do you want to spy on president trump or candidate trump's campaign? all right. wouldn't you think they would say and they know it's political. i'm sure, i'm sure they asked, they said this is

political. who is giving the money for this. who funded this. who funded the dossier. what's in the dossier? is the dossier verified? >> if you are listening to carter page and carter page played a small role on the foreign policy committee, and he calls steve bannon and he never talked to the president. but everybody around, don jr., whoever is helping donald trump win this -- pull off this unfathomable victory they are all recorded. that's all brought in. are you okay with that? steve: that's the big question. because it is a secret court. there is so, you know, is there any oversight? five years ago, adam schiff, how see 227 times the last year on television, he actually five years introduced a bill that would make fisa judges subject to presidential approval and senate confirmation. you know, who are these guys? well, we would know because there would be an approval process. mr. schiff put that bill out there five years ago. did not pass. now, a republican from

florida, matt gaetz has put the same bill out and, yet, he hasn't been able to get adam schiff, the guy who came up with it to sign off on it. ainsley: you would think it would not be political. you would think everybody would be on board for this, right? we want our judges to make the right decisions and stay within the law. matt gaetz had this to say about it. >> it seems odd, tucker that when barack obama was president and democrats wanted to give the president more power to work with the senate to get members of the fisa court that aren't part of the d.c. swamp but that come from all over america and have the opportunity to represent the values that americans hold dear regarding their liberties, i didn't change one comma in adam schiff's bill. i refiled it because i think that republicans and democrats are going to be in power in the future and if there are bipartisan ideas that would have more transparency and more oversight and protect our civil liberties, i think we ought to work together rather than work separately. >> tucker: did he send you a thankful text when you did that. >> i asked for him to co-sponsor it and i just haven't heard back yet. brian: maybe he will.

he is in an extremely tough spot. they didn't change anything about it adam schif schiff was,o his credit critical of president obama's foreign policy when he was on this committee. now that he has been the number one, i guess challenger to the president hot went back and forth with the president over the weekend on twitter about what this stuff means, why don't we just get these transcripts in the "new york times" wants these transcripts. we would like these transcripts. i think after watching these dueling memos i think we deserve to find out what the facts are. steve: well, i think the inspector general of the department of justice will get the transcripts. and he, essentially, is the referee in this. just like is he working on out hillary email case right now that should come out in about a month. he is going to take the 500 people in his department and look into fisa abuse. within a year, we should know. brian: they better be able to talk to the judges to get their opinion. maybe these judges have some real concerns and they have nobody to turn to because they have been appointed to do this in secret. steve: but, think about it. if you are a judge and you

are presiding over this fisa court, which has to do with terrorists, do you really want your name out there? because, if you are doing something terror-related,. ainsley: it could be your family. steve: guy lives over on maple street. brian: keep the judge masked but find out we will put him behind the curtain like "60 minutes" does a lot with mobsters. we have him speak in a silhouette. brian: redact out his name and let us see the transcripts. steve: have you heard this the president of the united states when he was a within candidate he wants to build a big beautiful border wall. the state of california has been suing the federal government saying you are breaking a whole bunch of e.p.a. rules and environmental rules by fast tracking this. well, yesterday, a judge from donald trump's past actually gave donald trump a win. ainsley: this is the judge, judge curiel is his last name can we put up his picture? you will remember when you see his picture.

he is the one seeing the trump university case. the president was saying i'm not sure if this guy can be fair because he is an immigrant. his parents were immigrants from mexico. that caused, you know, a big firestorm. and now he has vote new favor of president trump to allow him to continue moving on, moving forward with the wall. brian: couple weeks the president is going to look at 8 prototypes and then maybe before congress is done, there is going to be a last-minute coming together on some of those four pillars that the president put out there that includes i need 28 billion to start on the wall. use 1.8 which they already have to start on the area we saw in texas. ainsley: the valley. brian: to do this in a substantial way the way the president is used to doing things in a comprehensive way. he needs 25 billion now. steve: sure. okay. so the wall, the intent is to keep the illegals out of the country. we know there are a number of people in this country illegally, at least north of probably 11 million. we told you the story a couple of days ago about how the mayor of oakland,

california said i have heard there could be some ice raids in california over the next coming days. there's the woman right there marilyny shaf. she warned the people in the country illegally about the ice raids. now it turns out, according to ice, they were able to arrest 150 illegal criminals. but 864 are still at large and they say it's because of the mayor's warning. ainsley: those are all criminal illegals. steve: criminal i will aliens. ainsley: sanctuary is and will always be a sanctuary city as the trump administration haphazardly punishing sanctuary cities we will not cower. we stand with hard working law abiding immigrant neighbors and unified in response to diverse rhetoric of this president. you said something interesting brian earlier in the show. you said they are not all unified. the majority of californians don't want sanctuary city

status. brian: when asked do you have favor your rights over illegals. they came here the wrong way. tomi lahren 20 minutes ago said something almost as interesting about the same topic. >> that is so upsetting to me that we have these officials, elive & directedliv d officials, placing illegal immigrants and illegal activity over our citizens. they are entrusted with public safety. they are going beyond that and saying we don't care about that we want to protect illegal immigrants. very sad to see in california. steve: we're going to talk to tom homan the acting direct director of ice. he is going to be with us in an hour. have you got to figure he is pretty steamed about the warning from the mayor out there. brian: only have a finite amount of money. overattacksed and overspent in california. and now wherever you go. and i used to be there. i cannot believe the a homeless in los angeles and san francisco some of the video i have seen it's a tragedy. you are going to tell me some of those -- some of that money couldn't be used

for american citizens. ainsley: easy for us to sit on the couch and analyze. tom homan is such an expert because he is the acting director of ice. he talks about what we're doing. we are putting our men and women in harm's way when we don't allow these sanctuary cities we allow them to get away with whatever they want to do and not follow the federal law. very interesting guest. want to stick around for this. brian: thinks our job is easy sitting on the couch analyzing. jillian's is harder she has to stand. jillian: i have to stand. jeez. brian: much harder. jillian: start you off with some of your headlines right now and this fox news alert. 11 people are sick. three of them hospitalized after a suspicious letter is opened at marine corps headquarters. an envelope within a unknown substance mailed to joint base meyer henderson, virginia is now being sent to quantico for sitting. also inside a letter with derogatory language. unclear who sent it everyone is expected to be okay. right now, parents dropping off students at majory stoneman douglas high school for the first day of classes since the deadly shooting. armed police officers will

brian: game on. putting delta on notice. lieutenant governor of georgia now putting its foot down after the airline's decision to cut ties with the nra and eliminate discounts that they were getting and tax break force jet fuel. lieutenant governor casey cagle says this i will kill any tax legislation that benefits delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with the nra, which included discounts. corporations cannot, they go on to say, attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back. georgia's lieutenant governor casey cagle joins us with more. this is a big standoff. after the shooting the delta airlines says you know what? i'm against what the nra stands for many respects so i'm going to eliminate a lot of their group rates. why did you respond like this? >> well, first of all, we're here because of the historic tax cut that took place i understand the leadership of president trump. and as a result of that, we were able to do the same

thing at state. we are able to cut about $5.7 billion, giving a middle class tax cut to every georgia citizen as well as businesses across the state. but, ultimately, delta has asked for a special exemption to go to a zero jet fuel tax for the state. it passed through the state house, and now it's in the senate. and delta has taken action to be very punitive against a principled position that we as second amendment defenders take. and i think like warren buffet that they're best not using viewpoint to make those points. and so we have to govern based on principle and i have been very clear with delta that i wish that they would take their boycott out and away from the nra sadly enough it doesn't sound like they're going to.

brian: they want to go to zero jet fuel tax you are saying no. not going to happen. they are your number one employer. they employ more people in georgia than anybody else. so, you guys are really in business together. and this is a standoff that could pay a heavy price for both sides. is it worth it? >> well, i think that obviously delta is free to make any decision that they want to. and oftentimes, you know, families do get into squabbles. they are a family member here in georgia. and we have had communication with delta. had they have treated everyone in terms of their discounts fairly, we wouldn't be in this situation. but, instead, they chose to single out the nra. and their membership. law abiding gun owners. i don't think that's right. so, i have to govern based on principles and obviously they have a choice to make. brian: here is another choice, lieutenant governor. this just came down.

governor of new york, governor cuomo tweeted this delta, if georgia politicians against your stand gun violence we invite to you move your headquarters to new york. are you scared? >> well, first of all, let me be very clear. new york is not as competitive as georgia is we are the number one state to do business in. when you look at our tax rate, our cost of living. along with our tort system, our regulatory environment and our workforce we are second to none. so, i don't think new york has anything to offer delta that we do not already offer. and, again, they are still able to take advantage of all of the tax benefits that exist within our state. brian: gotcha. big standoff. georgia and delta. two formidable forces but keep in mind new york does have broadway. that's one time and high taxes and a lot of traffic and you don't. lieutenant governor casey cagle thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: straight ahead, here is one way to pick up votes,

think you should be holding the joint smoking that in your campaign as you are running for office? >> that's a great question. thanks for having me. steve: good morning. >> i think it's important that we actually start talking about legalizing cannabis. this is medicine for tens of million of people in america. bring tens of billions of dollars tax revenue to illinois. really the first component to completely overhauling and transitioning the criminal justice system here in america. steve: benjamin, when this image went around the twitter verse and we saw it as well, obviously you got a lot of attention because you are smoking a joint right there. you know, people are wondering does this guy smoke weed every day? >> i don't use cannabis every day. it's a routine part of my life but not every day. steve: when you were with the fbi, were you smoking pot? >> never. it's not an authorized substance, clearly. you go through intensive background checks, polygraphs and lie detector

tests and no i hadn't smoked cannabis until a few years ago. brian: it's an interesting thing to focus on. why not grab a beer or bottle of whiskey and say vote for me? >> you know, i think like i said, the cannabis community has been standing up saying this is very important. and, again, we are standing by what we take about every day. it's important to walk the walk. we are taking big risks here. and i think that the democratic party right now is looking for new leadership and i look forward to leading the pack. ainsley: what do you say to the people moms out there raising kids and teaching them to say no to drug. what do you sty people who say it's a gait way drug and losing their kids to overdoses. >> i don't think anyone under the age of 18 or 21 should being using cannabis. it's on the ballot. people look at all the facts and vote the way they feel is important. steve: mr. wolf, you know as a former fbi guy that marijuana is still considered under federal law a schedule 1 controlled substance. it's against the law to

hold. and to have. and you are in illinois essentially breaking the law. >> i'm okay with that i see that as an act of civil diss obedience and standing up for something i feel strongly about. steve: you want to go to washington, d.c. and change the marijuana laws. >> i want to go to washington, d.c. and for a lot of reasons. one of them is cannabis law. universal healthcare. free education, strong unions and again cannabis is one of those aspects. brian: state overrun in red ink do you think everything free is a good message? >> well, not everything free. i think that again legalizing cannabis brings billions of dollars to the state. it's one of the most important things we can do right now to help fund education and other drug initiatives. ainsley: how did you get to this point you? were against it when you were an fbi agent and didn't use it and now all of a sudden using it and putting it in your campaign ads and saying it's illegal but you are still taking part? >> i am. i think it's an evolution of me as pattern.

boeing. gordon. a deputy white house press secretary under president george w. bush. gordon, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: okay. so, how hands on was the president in negotiating this price? >> yeah. president trump was very hands on. you know, from the day that he tweeted that he might cancel the order, boeing ceo dennis mullenberg gave him a call. over the last year they have met several times. he said the art of the deal is alive and well. and the president negotiated a great deal on behalf of american taxpayers. steve: one of the things about this president, unlike any president we have ever had before is before he became president, he actually owned his own boeing jetliner. and so, did you give him a list and did he go well, we need that, we need that. we don't need this. we don't need. this let's get rid of them? >> yeah. the president -- the president knows a lot about airplanes. as you said, he was plying around on a boeing 757. and so when these

negotiations started he had an idea of what he was looking for. that became even more true when he became president and started flying around on the current 2, 747 which are about 30 years old. he recognized it's time for replacement. steve: how much does the average 747 that the president is going to use cost? the commercial price versus the air force one price? >> yeah, right. well, you know, i can't get into too many specifics here. i don't want to give away all our secrets but the list price for a 747-8 is about $400 million. steve: okay. >> president trump and the u.s. air force are purchasing two new 747-8s. so that's almost a billion dollars at list price. but the boeing company is committed to this project and provided a substantial discount off that list price. steve: are you guys losing money on this? >> you know, we never intended to make any money on the air force one project. we lost a lot of money on the last project, the

current two that are flying around. we're just proud to be a part of the program. we're proud to provide air force ones for this president and all future presidents. so, we will -- our goal is to break even. we are proud that american presidents fly on a boeing 747. steve: of course, the new one will have all the very latest technology safety and navigation and all that stuff. it's kind of going to look like the current one we have right? the 800 is going to look like the 200? >> yeah. look, it's a longer airplane. it's got a bigger wing span. it's got a larger upper deck. but, you know, so it looks like the iconic 747 that we have known for so many years. but it's a little bit bigger and better airplane. steve: it better be at those prices of course it is the most famous airplane in the whole world. jordan johndroe from boeing, thank you for joining us today from dallas. >> thank you. steve: all right. it is now 7:50 here in new

ainsley: plus if you think about it, when you're starting a construction project, don't you want to fund the whole thing because you don't want, you put up one piece of wall. hire the company to do it, they put all the efforts making that. they buy all the supplies to make the whole wall, it doesn't go through, until the money is there you don't build the whole wall. what if one piece of wall is built and rest of the border -- brian: the states, 1.8 will fill sector they're worried about most in texas. nothing because there is a river. nothing because there is a mountain. all of suddennen fence works better according to border agents. i think this is total political play, i'm doubling down. now that i got permission i want the 25 billion. that means he should call up, every up with still in session and try to get all four pillars of course, try to get three pillars and reignite that legislation that had 54 votes in the senate, maybe spur the

>> we're here because of the historic tax cut took place under the leadership of president trump. delta has taken action to be very punitive against a principled position. had they have treated everyone in terms of their discounts fairly, we wouldn't be in this situation. but instead they chose to single out the nra and their membership. law-abiding gun owners. and i don't think that's right. so, i have to govern based on principles. steve: the big question is, if you are a big corporation, what do you do when there is a campaign to tries to get you to take a side in politics? there is some big corporations, apple, amazon, federal express, they refuse to drop the discount they give to the nra. look, we don't get involved in anybody's policies. we'll offer these discounts to variety of companies. however, online there are a number of hollywood actresses i read this morning who are starting to organize a boycott

of amazon, apple. brian: good luck. steve: also federal express. a one-day boycott to let them know, hey, look -- brian: why not an hour? delta is the number one employer in georgia. this is what is at stake now. they asked for this. can we have zero percent tax on jet fuel? number one hub and employer. this is significant money that pass the house in georgia. was in the senate and probably going to pass. they're saying no. this is huge standoff in georgia. steve: delta has $50 million on the line. that is how much this particular tax cut is worth. are people in georgia, was this a good idea for the lieutenant governor getting in a fight with this big employer? brian: or was it a good idea for delta. ainsley: a million nra members that live in the state of georgia. jillian has headlines. good morning jillian.

ainsley: that is what happens now. isn't everyone trying to push the envelope. that is how they become famous and get elected? you have to hand it to him. nice that he is, honest and real. however i will is illegal. he is running as a lawmaker to make laws yet he is breaking them. steve: at same time he recognizes you look at certain polls, there is majority in this country that thinks that marijuana should be made legal but to your point, marijuana right now at the federal level, he wants to be a federal officer essentially a member of congress, it's a schedule 1 controlled substance. so, while he was sitting right there, in that image, that campaign image, he is breaking the law! he is not smoking that for medical marijuana purposes. he is smoking it for fun. brian: by the way the jury is not in whether this works or not on the fun -- you get more tax revenue. i get it. they put it in stores. hasn't stopped use of illegal marijuana and there is additional costs rehab and driving accidents and motor

vehicle accidents because people are not only looking out for people drinking, you're looking out for people high so accessible. ainsley: if you wanted to watch more of the interview and you missed it, here we go. >> the cannabis community is standing up saying this is very important. we're standing by what we talk about every day. it is important to walk the walk. we're taking big risks here. i think that the democratic party right now is looking for new leadership. brian: will you get high? >> definitely. ainsley: only get high he wins. when you hear walk the walk, don't you think you walk the walk, you don't just talk the talk, you follow the rules? steve: like another person from illinois which is where he is at, very honest, at least, brian, you asked a great question, will you celebrate on primary election night if you win by smoking weed. he goes yes, absolutely. brian: i don't know if he was being honest if he never smoked pot when he was in the fbi. hard to imagine taking that up.

steve: that is going on out in the great state of illinois. if he wins, we'll let you know. ainsley: clean cut, handsome guy, smoking pot in his campaign ad. what has happened. brian: life has changed. ainsley: yeah it has. i.c.e. arresting dozens of illegal immigrants in a series of raids and hundreds more may have gotten away thanks to a mayor's warning. i.c.e. director thomas homan is here to respond. >> sentence you thought you would never hear, nancy pelosi as a right-wing candidate? really? ♪

♪ ainsley: a district judge granting a legal win for the border wall moments ago the president tweeting this. i have decided that sections of the wall california wants to build now will not be built until the whole wall is approved. big victory yesterday with ruling from the court that allows us to proceed. our country must have border security. steve: this as i.c.e. arrests more than 150 illegals in northern california but reveals nearly 900 avoided deportation. says, a sanctuary city's mayor warning couple days ago may be to blame after giving them a head's up the raids were coming. brian: let's find out the facts. the i.c.e. man himself, tom homan. did that mayor hurt that enforcement effort? >> well, absolutely. what she did is no better than a gang lookout yellinging police when a police cruiser comes to the neighborhood except she did it to entire community of the this is beyond the pale. i've been doing this for 34

years. this is whole new low to intentionally warn criminals that law enforcement is coming. i can't believe it happened. ainsley: go ahead. steve: we had a guy on couple days ago, don rosenberg, whose son was killed by an illegal. he suggested what she did was obstruction of justice. >> the department of justice is reviewing the incident. we'll see what they come back. i think she intentionally put law enforcement officers at risk. being a law enforcement officer is dangerous enough. but to give criminals a head's up we're coming next 24 hours, increases the risk. these are american heroes. they strap a gun to the hip to defend the nation. to tell criminals next 24 hours it is incredible. i watch her statement is her priority is the safety of the community. what she did had exact opposite effect. there is over 800 significant public safety threat criminals, these are people here illegally already, committed yet another crime. been convicted of a crime. she gave them warning. there are 800 we were unable to

locate because of that warning. that community is a lot less safe than it would have been. ainsley: tom, we heard argument that the lawmakers care more about the illegals, than legals the tax-paying citizens. when i heard you a few nights ago on shannon bream's show, you were talking about what it means for your agents, how benefiting illegals not the legals, your edge a cents in many cases fighting for their lives going into the situations. tell the people at home what this means for your agents, how life has changed for them? >> our officers are up over 50% this year. failure to comply, we have to forcibly arrest somebody, they won't comply with our orders up over 100%. our officers, they leave safety and security of their home every day to put their lives on the line to defend this country and communities. when politicians choose to take care of their political ambitions, to make political statement the on the backs of law enforcement it is terrible. it makes our job more difficult. steve: right.

>> i will say to every mayor and politician that wants to vilify the men and women of i.c.e., we're not going away. we'll keep enforcing the law. unthis president we turned the situation around. there is a 45-year low on illegal border crossings this year under this president's leadership the we show if you enforce laws way they're written it has an effect. brian: border crossings are going up because laws have not come out as hard as you guys are working. there is very much len million estimated maybe more illegally. how do you decide who to pick up and who to get? >> i'm glad you asked that question. we see a lot of media saying she is protecting families. talk about specifically california. last year, fy-17 we arrested over 20,000 illegal aliens in california. 81% of those illegal aliens committed yet another crime, where a convicted criminal, they committed one other crime other than entering the country illegally which is a crime.

80% of the 20,000 we arrested in california were criminals. if you look at the operation we did in los angeles a couple weeks ago, we arrested several hundred aliens, 88% of them were criminals. we concentrate on criminals. the numbers speak for themselves. the target list for san francisco was vast majority of them are criminals and vast majority could not locate because they were given a warning. >> tom, we went down to the border with the vice president when he was there a week, two weeks ago, there is a picture of it with the portion of the border that has the wall the president made two comments recently. number one he wants, this is the one this morning that he tweeted, he doesn't want to build portions of the wall like we see there anymore. he wants entire wall to be funded before he starts to build, a. b, he mentioned pulling i.c.e., pulling your agents out of the state of california and sanctuary cities and sanctuary states because they're not complying with federal laws. what do you think about those two statements from the president? >> i can say look, i've been around a long time. every place they built a wall it

has worked. 100% of the time, wherever they built the wall illegal crossings went down. we need the wall. people complain about the price of the wall. what price do you put on national security and public safety. ainsley: all built at once or in sections. >> i don't think you can build the whole wall at once it is a big border. we should start to build the wall as soon as possible. removing i.c.e. agents out of california. i understand the president is frustrated. i'm angry. politicians vilify the fine men and women of i.c.e., they're warning criminals we're coming, putting them at greater harm. i don't want to abandon the american citizens in california. after, last couple weeks i have gotten hundreds of emails from california residents asking us not to abandon them. there are a lot of good people in california want to us enforce the laws. like you mentioned don rosenberg, this gentleman i know, lost a child to alien crime. we can't turn our backs on people. steve: how frustrating is it for you? i know you're a man in law

enforcement, you don't want to get political, the people working in that building behind you, for political reasons, whatever reasons, they're not moving on border security and border safety. >> we made huge impact this year, 45-year low at one point last year illegal border crossings. we have shown if we enforce the laws, if there is consequence and deterrents to illegal activity that illegal activity will subside. what we snead congress to do, we sent a whole list of priority changes up there, legislative changes. they need to make tough decisions. they want to fix this program or kick the can down the road. we have will power and knowledge to fix this once and for all stop kicking the can. congress need to get together, make tough decisions to stop this problem once and for all. steve: thomas homan, acting i.c.e. director. >> thank you. steve: moving on, 8:30 in new york city, imagine looking out your airplane window, seeing that on the tarmac. the tantrum caught on camera.

ainsley: president obama says his administration was scandal free? >> we didn't have a scandal that embarrassed us. that seems like a low bar. you didn't hear about a lot of problems at the white house. ainsley: kevin jackson says, not so fast. he will join us next. ♪ for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, including those with an abnormal alk or egfr gene who've tried an fda-approved targeted therapy, who wouldn't want a chance for another...? who'd say no to a...? who wouldn't want a chance to live longer. opdivo (nivolumab). over 40,000 patients have been prescribed opdivo immunotherapy. opdivo can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work.

♪ steve: all right. the winner of "american idol" singing in front of our building. thank you very much for joining us on this very busy wednesday.

let's bring in kevin jackson. fox news contributor. joins us from the beautiful city of phoenix. good morning to you. >> good to talk to you. steve: did you see us play this sound bite yesterday. >> we didn't have a scandal that embarrassed us. that is a low bar. you didn't hear about a lot of drama. steve: when you heard that, nothing to see here what did you think. >> i thought what a lot of america thinks barack obama is still delusional. i think he may be hanging out in colorado or hanging out with the illinois candidate running for congress. look, barack obama is fraught with scandals, whether looking at veterans dying on waiting lists at have the a, the irs scandal we figured out they were targeting conservatives. fasfas and furious, running guns into mexico. they got a border agent killed. benghazi, the worst one where he is targeting donald trump.

that will blow up on the democrats but you know the biggest scandal of barack obama, people actually on the left believe him to have been competent. donald trump has exposed what i think is the biggest scandal of barack obama's presidency which is his terrible economy he has brought back jobs that obama said wouldn't come back to america. he has proven manufacturing can be done in america. he has taken, millions of people off the welfare rolls. he raised people's consumer confidence. we are finally booming because we have somebody in charge now who knows how to run an economy. i think that is probably the biggest scandal, even though when the dust settles on this thing, the targeting of trump and russian collusion story, that is going to be huge. ainsley: would it be fair, i don't know if any president can stand up there saying honestly there hasn't been scandal, especially president of a super world power for eight years. he asked everyone to turn the cell phones off, don't videotape, don't record it, do

you think that is why because he knew he wasn't going to be truthful. >> funny that barack obama does this. this guy said he would usher in the most transparent administration in history. we got nothing close to that it is the most secretive administration in history. he remains the most secretive president in the modern times. and he continues this. and one of the producers and i were talking before the segment, he is telling people, essentially that you know, he is not, you're going to turn off your cell phones and effectively thinking people will do that in day and time we don't keep secrets anymore. barack obama remains an enigma for most americans, because we look at him, we say, everything he says is a lie and whether it is again, whether we're talking about the economy, any part of his administration, it was pretty much a lie. brian: they like to, the president obama no doubt about it, has great style, great family. maybe they like trump's substance better, perhaps, we'll

see. in fairness to this, president bush does a lot of talks, no records, no questions. just in fact did one at the hoover institute, no one can talk about this. ainsley: but you can never say -- >> here is the deal, brian, nobody should say that, first of all, because we live in a society where, what are they hiding? if i give a speech, i don't mind people talking about it. not like i'm protecting a concert or something like that, or i'm a comedian, i don't want you to show my act. these are guys that led the country. they are still on the payroll for us. they're getting secret service protection. what are you hiding? look, i don't believe donald trump with ever utter those words. i think he would say, record it. i don't care. it is time we start living in an open society and when barack obama said that quite frankly, mit should have said no, we'll not honor that. what you say, you're still on the payroll of the american people. it will be published. brian: still got out. "reason" magazine published it. we relayed it.

involved, was that judge hoodwinked? the answer to that question the judge was not hoodwinked, you see the quote in the democratic memo, the language was to the judge, remember, in these things, they don't name american names, they don't unmask, this is individual who was looking for dirt, not their word but was paid, paid to find material that was adverse to mr. trump. brian: right. >> so the facts are correct. and yes, that is something that came from the, that was paid for bit dnc. brian: congressman, you're a great guess. you answer the questions. i like to challenge you on this i watched you on sunday. tell me if i'm wrong here. if i if i'm a fisa judge i need to count on everything handed to me as a fact. there is no defense attorney. you need people like fbi and doj hand you facts, best you know them. if i wanted that judge to fully know what is going on, wouldn't you as a judge hearing, dnc and hillary clinton, not candidate one, candidate two, not

politicalization, wouldn't you like to see that blatant and clear as opposed to way it was written which you have to say is not? >> so i've spent a lot of time around the fisa process. you compliment me for answering your questions. let me answer your questions, if a fisa judge got an application that said hillary clinton and named united states organizations he would have said this, is violation of our procedures where we mask the names of individual, u.s. persons and u.s. organizations. he would have reprimanded the fbi for actually using the names of americans in a fisa application. brian: so if it said fusion gps paid christopher steele because they were hired by hillary clinton, that would be not, the judge would say, error, redo this application. i know too much? >> he would have said, it is the long-standing practice in highly-classified applications in which u.s. persons are involved to mask those names. i will take you back a couple months when remember, the world was on fire maybe susan rice or

sam power inappropriately unmasked, precisely what we're talking about, u.s. names. now there turned out in so many of these faux scandals absolutely nothing to those allegations but we mask these u.s. names for a reason of the point is the judge understood somebody was being paid in a political context to find dirt on donald trump. brian: i'm glad you said that i am not convinced, i think we both need to know, did that, was the judge convinced? and you saw the underlying documents. and i would say this, is it time to do what "the new york times" asks for, and get the transcripts so we can get conjecture and hearsay out of this? >> i would love, it is not going to happen i suspect, i would love to have the fisa judges, four of them, you remember had initial application and three reapprovals, all four of those judges, this is important, all four of those judges appointed by republicans. brian: right. >> the people making this application, rod rosenstein, appointed by donald trump and pretty much everybody else

associated with this is republicans. brian: right. >> i would love to have that judge say here is exactly what i thought at the time. brian: or read the application. we would know this too. we would know why, why was the dossier used every single time when it was unverified, salacious according to the fbi director? that's the problem. >> as they say in the courtroom, asked and answered, right? the dossier was part of the application each time. remember if you get approval, next time you have to show by definition new information. they only got these reapprovals because they showed new information. brian: okay. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. have a great day. >> take care. brian: country star craig morgan and his family. you will love their big announcement. don't move. let's check in with sandra smith. you will love her show. >> good morning brian, more on the stunning report we brought to you first yesterday. north korea sending chemical weapons into syria. reaction from the state department in moments. students and teachers returning to school in parkland this
