because we don't want you -- you clearly played politics at this moment. and then delta puts out a statement and says no, no, no, no. this wasn't about politics at all. all of these companies have social responsibility offices where they virtue signal to us and they tell us what we're supposed to believe. and in this case they were caught totally red-handed because there are people, of course, that fly delta who love the nra, myself included. i don't know, i have a status with the nra. status with the nra. email us by the way email us at friends@foxnews.com. what do you think about this? i love seeing the legislature enough. each if it's a hub. each if we love this company we are not going to support. ainsley: did you know as an nra member you got a delta discount because only 13 people took advantage of that put in the coupon code. pete: i'm bad at that though generally. ainsley: people are. griff: fascinating to see how this plays out. delta making a symbolic gesture full on knowing it

doesn't have real economic teeth to it. but they wants to remove themselves from divisive issues, et cetera, et cetera. however, the back end was a real economic bite from the georgia legislature. we will see whether this actually makes companies think twice before they jump into fray for symbolic gesture when it amounts to millions of dollars. ainsley: divide it how much it costs them based on the people owho took discount $3 million per person. pete: governor mike huckabee our friend who we love. i didn't know this, he is on the board of the cma. ainsley: just got on the board like a week ago. maybe a day ago. it was like an anthony scaramucci thing just a few well, it was short-lived. and for a reason. here is what the music executive, jason owen said about this.

worries and concerns over protectionism. griff: economists in the media freaking out over president trump's plan to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum. ainsley: what do the tariffs mean for the forgotten men and women who voted for president trump. here to discuss that president of the united steel workers in west virginia. thank you for being with us. >> it's good to be here. ainsley: great to have you on a saturday. what does it mean for the forgotten man and woman who voted for the president. remember he promised this on the campaign trail. >> he sure did. it means a great deal. the president on his campaign promised to have fair trade. and so he is honoring his -- one of his commitments and it means a great deal to the american steel worker. we have lost hundreds of

thousands of steel jobs in the last 20 years, 30 years. and we can only produce today, in this country, 80% of what our country needs. we are already importing 20% of our domestic needs as far as steel is concerned. griff: let me ask you, mark, this all comes down to all the economists saying it's going to hurt the economy. president trump is saying, listen, even at the behealth of republican leaders, he believes this is a good idea. what do you think will be the net impact on the economy. >> first of all, i mean, we need to protect our american citizens. it's a national security issue. okay. we cannot build a battle ship today because our steel mills have been shut down. i don't think -- this is long overdue. the president's -- last three or four presidents have promised to level the playing field as far as steel is concerned and they haven't done it. president trump is the one that i think is going to

great positive for this for protection of our american citizens. i think it's also positive for america as a whole. what's happening is we are importing product that is being illegally dumped into the american markets. and we shouldn't be doing that. if we can't compete, so be it. we can compete. we have one of the greatest economies in the world today. and if we play fairly then our economy, no matter what, will prosper. we should be building steel mills, not shuttle them down. we should be protecting the american citizens by being able to produce plate and armor, plate for our domestic needs and so hopefully, that these tariffs are going to result in a very positive long-term outcome. ainsley: this is what the president had to say about the importance of steel. >> when it comes to a time when our country can't make

aluminum or steel, you almost don't have much of a country. without steel and aluminum, your country is not the same. we need great steelmakers. great aluminummakers for defense. ainsley: mark, you are one of those great steel workers. for folks at home not in the steel industry, how does it effect them for the teaches and doctors that don't do what you do. in layman's terms what does it mean for them. >> first of all we are protecting them with a strong steel industry. we have to protect our american citizens by being able to have a very strong steel industry that can produce the equipment and our defense items in order to protect the american citizens. i think it's going to have a very minor affect on teachers ant rest of the economy.

good outweigh the bad as far as tariffs are concerned. first thing we need to do is protect our country. by imposing tariffs it's going to give us a chance to rebuild the steel industry and get back to where we used to be. griff: that's certainly what the president thinks, marks. we shall find out. >> i think he's right. he promised us -- the last four presidents have promised it and they haven't done it at least president trump is doing what he said he is going to do and it's the right thing to do. clearly the right thing to do. do. i don't think we ought to be concerned about a trade war. okay. we are the strongest economy in the world. and we ought to protect our people first. ainsley: okay. >> i'm not worried about a trade war at all. ainsley: we will see how it shakes out, marc. thanks for being here and what you do for this country. the mayor who warned illegal immigrants about ice raids could face criminal charges. she says she didn't do anything wrong. >> i continue to feel

and democratic strategist joel payne. beverly, i want to start with you did, she commit a crime or not. >> the department of justice said they are going to be looking into it. i think there is enough there to wonder whether or not she did. here is what i think is a dangerous trend is it's not just these local law officials or these elected officials othat are trying to circumvent the law. we also have judges who are trying to not uphold the law. if you don't like the federal law, change the federal law. and i think this is extremely concerning. she said that she didn't put any ice agents in danger. but i think any time you alert people to somebody coming to their neighborhood i think you are putting these agents in danger. i think it's very reckless and the wrong direction that elected officials should take if they want to keep their city safe. griff: mayor schaaf gave a statement on why she did this. i will show this quickly before i get to you react, joel. mayor schaaf says i am sharing this information publicly not to panic our residents but to protect them. i believe it is my duty and moral obligation as mayor to

give those families fair warning. joel, was she just trying to do the right thing morally? >> sure. i think she was. and i think she succeeded in doing that you know, i heard beverly talk about what's dangerous. what's really dangerous here is the environment that president trump and his administration has created for immigrant communities all across the country. and you look at some of the stories here. i don't know how president trump's ice agents and his administration can sleep comfortably at night. i mean, you look at what happened in virginia with he ela crawford wife of army retired special forces member of the army who actually is on the list to be deported next week and is not supposed to be deported but because president trump. griff: right, okay. >> has under these efforts she is in danger there are a lot of stories like that that people are concerned about. griff: beverly, let me ask you quickly ice says upwards of 800 or maybe more of

these targeted immigrants were committing crimes, you know, was this an effort that may have put society in oakland at least in greater danger? >> yeah, i'm from the bay area and i am concerned about this. i love the city of oakland. and let's take this to where the data is and what the details are we are talking about individuals that had serious or violent crimes in their past. their crime wasn't just coming to our country illegally weapons charges. sadly even sexual assault against minors. we have talking about people who have serious criminal offenses. we should be looking at them. if you want to talk about what president trump is doing. i actually think we have a president who is trying to put forward an honest discussion about immigration reform. is he talking about the dreamers. he is talking about daca. let's focus on the conversation there. let's not focus on putting ice agents in danger who are just trying to keep our community safe. griff: we will see what happens. the experts say it's very rare that this mayor could be charged with anything.

joel, i want to give you the last word to weigh in on it. >> yeah, i think the environment here is something we really have to take a look at. take a look at. you look at the -- you know, the president likes to use the term fake news. there is a fake immigration crisis that the president and that the administration has created. you look at under president obama, illegal immigration actually dropped across the border deportations across the southern border went up. so we did have a tough muscular deportation policy under president obama. president trump is wrong about their there being an immigration crisis. griff: joel, we will see. i don't think the american believe it's a fake immigration problem. thank you, joel payne for waking up with us and beverly hallberg and have a great rest of the weekend. >> thank you. griff: john brennan slamming president trump calling him inexperienced among other things and i feel like there was a spot there. ♪ [bleep]

only prolia® helps strengthen bones by stopping cells that damage them with 1 shot every 6 months. do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva®. serious allergic reactions, like low blood pressure; trouble breathing; throat tightness; face, lip or tongue swelling, rash, itching or hives have happened. tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone problems may happen or new or unusual pain in your hip, groin, or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. speak to your doctor before stopping prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium; serious infections, which could need hospitalization; skin problems; and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. if your bones aren't getting stronger isn't it time for a new direction? why wait? ask your doctor about prolia.

as a modern day star chamber. i mean, listen, think about what happened here. your civil liberty is the fourth amendment, the constitution has not been revoked in the last few years. last time i checked, i haven't seen anything on breaking news, right? but no one, griff, no one has explained a way to this point, if anyone in the audience tweet me if you have an explanation for this. explain this to me. if probable cause is the hurdle evidentiary speaking that you need to reach, then whwhy was the dossier used if had you probable cause without it. and if you didn't have probable cause without the dossier, we have an even bigger problem because members of this trump team was spied on without the requisite evidence to do it. very disturbing. ainsley: do you think we will every get to the bottom of this? people are frustrated because the fisa court is so private. we don't know who sits on it we don't have the transcripts to find out how they decided to go and spy on the trump campaign based on this dossier? will we ever get to the bottom of it? we have been talking about it so long. we have been talking about

collusion, investigations continue and continue and nothing ever happens. >> ainsley, do you know why we will get to the bottom of this and obama team is in a world of hurt right now? they are in deep, deep trouble for this. unlike other scandals, there is a hard court transcript paper trail here. there is a fisa application that eventually is going to become public. and in that application it's going to be clear as day, was the dossier, what put them over the probable cause hurdle, in other words, fake information paid for by a political candidate, hillary clinton's team or was it not? you can't go back and rewrite history. there is a hard paper trail here and yes they are going to get to the bottom of it i'm telling you the obama team is sweating over it. pete: how much of that is premised on the belief no one would ever see this nobody would care because it would be president hillary clinton. otherwise you would be doing this covering your tracks all the while. are you expecting those transcripts really could be the smoking gun here? >> oh, absolutely.

that is a terrific analysis, bingo on that one. this was all supposed to go away, right? here is the rug, lift up the rug, sweep tunsd. hillary was president. they had andy mccabe, hillary acolyte over at the fbi. they had jim comey who played ball with him the whole time. john brennan was going to go on to take a senior position in the hillary team probably somewhere. these are all people who had skin in the game. they were all culpable in. this none of them were going to be held accountable at all. pete, one more thing on this. what evidence is there anyone was going to be held accountable ever? hillary has gone away with everything forever. watch that scandalous show on fox. 8 part series i have been hooked on it they get away with everything all the time. ainsley: john brennan is not mincing words he doesn't like the president despite whatever his role was. listen to this sound bite. >> we have somebody in the oval office who is unstable, inept, inexperienced, and

know much about it i didn't see it i hadn't heard about it how is that? how did you brief someone on the contents of it but not know about it for months later? brennan is not being honest here and he may have set himself up for some perjury trap later on. griff: dan, here's the problem. he said that under oath, testifying to congress. it happened so often nothing ever gets done. no one ever gets prosecuted for it how do you stop guys like brennan from acting in this manner? >> you know, griff, that's a good question. i wish i had an easy answer for you. the d.c. swamp is powerful. it's a bipartisan swamp. and they want to protect their only. and there is a bifurcated system of justice. there is us out there, the great unwashed. we rip a mattress tag off we spend 20 years in prison and get guys like john brennan who spy on innocent americans, use the political machinery to do so, lie about it and you are right, nothing happens. i'm not confident he will get caught. pete: dan, you are the greatest of the unwashed. just so you know. >> thank you. thank you. i appreciate that that means a lot to me.

election. they have got a concept brief and a demo tape made in the russian version of hollywood. pete: he's a strong man that wants to look strong. briefly, general, i know you don't do politics normally. handicap this for me is up for re-election. does he win with 96 or 98% of the vote. >> i'm going to go with 99. pete. pete: you are a wise man. general, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you, pete. pete: he was the number two man at the fbi. now he is the number one target for leaking. you know that guy. the damning new report on andrew andy mccabe coming up. and do politics and relationships mix? ben shapiro just got asked if conservatives and liberals should date or get married. and his answer, it might surprise you. stick around ♪ brother, you can't have one without the other ♪ love and marriage ♪ love and marriage ♪ it's an institute you

the u of m university of minnesota. he is too conservative they wouldn't allow him. he spoke at saint paul. ainsley: he has this exchange. exchange. he is asking -- we will set it up with this. a conservative appears to be, unless he is talking about his friend. he says what do you do if really, really liberal girl? you are really conservative and you are dating this really, really liberal girl? and listen to their exchange. >> so let's say hypothetically there is a young man here who is dating a young woman who tends to lean very far left. do you have any advice how this young man might go about exposing her to new ideas without crashing and burn? >> you are an optimist. you, my friend, are making a very large mistake. if you are in it for marriage, the number one thing you must have with n. common with spouse is values. most of people are interested in lots of things. deemly important that you put values before all of the other ancillary things. if you have values in common your marriage can outlast everything. if you don't have values.

canada is calling this proposal unacceptable. the imf is warning that it could hurt the u.s. economy, particularly the construction and manufacturing sector. leaders with the european union are saying they will retaliate against american products if this actually happens. but, as you said, president trump is not backing down. yesterday, he tweeted when a country taxes our products coming in at, say, 50% and we tax the same product coming into our country at zero, not fair or smart. we will soon be starting reciprocal taxes so that we'll charge the same thing as they charge us. 800 billion trade deficit. have no choice. in an earlier tweet, he said trade wars are good and easy to win. the president has long advocated for something like this. he says he will likely sign something next week to raise tariffs to 25% for steel and 10% for aluminum. but if he is looking for support from his own party, he might have trouble finding it. >> he has had very bad advice from somebody down

there. i hope the president doesn't really do this. if he does, it's just going to be a huge tax on american citizens. and it's going to discombobulate our economy here. >> what's been allowed to you go on for decades is disgraceful. s it disgraceful. we need great steelmakers. great aluminum makers for defense. >> it's a quick trip to florida this weekend. the president will leave little later today after only being here about 24 hours. last night he attended a dinner with rnc donors. pete, griff, ainsley? pete: that's a big campaign promise the president made that he would level the playing field on these trade deals. if you feel like another tweet he put out, which i really like was if you don't have steel or industrial base, you don't have a country. ultimately you are vulnerable if you can't make these things yourself. you have to make aircraft carriers and tanks and airplanes. if you don't have that industrial base here, you are inherently vulnerable in

the future. that's a big point. griff: guy that's been on the campaign trail with president trump in ohio has never voted for a republican in his life says this is the reason i wanted president trump to be there. this is another, for context, this is another example of president trump coming in with a fresh set of eyes looking at i think we should it this way. i'm bringing decades of international business experience. what's the reaction from democrats and republicans we can't do this. we can't do this. there is a lot more to this story coming. ages apes anyone critical of him we can always change. if it doesn't work, can you always change and take the tariffs off and make it cheaper for other countries if it doesn't work. look at tax reform. democrats called it crumbs. democrats were in favor of it. many of you got bonuses. let it work itself out. give him the benefit of the doubt. if it doesn't work we'll all be fighting for change. pete: if it works maybe we all lower tariffs as a result. result. other countries see we are serious about that. that's the point of the

exercise. he doesn't want these. he feels they are necessary to level that playing field. griff: i will tell you who it is not working out for is andrew mccabe. he is going to be threading something here. the report coming out from michael horowitz the inspector general at the department of justice and we don't know exactly when it is coming out it could be in the next few weeks. ainsley: he said this month or next month. >> highly critical of his we will put up a full screen of what you are expected to see in this. we are going to see a report about mccabe's critical of his actions the final weeks of 2016 campaign. it uncovered information it uncovered information mccabe was behind the improper media leaks and the leaks was of sensitive details about the clinton investigation. pete: we're going to hear a lot more about this. we have alluded to it on this program. but the doj's inspector general michael horowitz not a household name like andrew mccabe. this report that is forthcoming could be the most explosive sort of exposure of what went on inside the doj and the fbi. anything. he n. this case is he saying

andy mccabe is a leaker. he was going to everybody else. the guy in charge of the hillary clinton email investigation. pete: guy in charge the so-called russia collusion investigation. the guy whose wife was running for the state senate in virginia and gotten toes of money. ainsley: hillary's best friend. pete: this guy, so if you are leaking in one instance the "wall street journal" which this report alleges, how often and elsewhere were you leaking and it points out the perceived political if you are leaking, it's because you want one side of the story getting into the press before anyone else does. and that's what the -- ainsley: his argument could be it's a common practice for us. it's journalists with the "wall street journal" or whoever else. if they're not getting the story 100 percent accurate. griff: sure. ainsley: sometimes we go to them and tell them information about investigations as long as it's not classified information. the question is was he sharing classified information. was it necessary? and there are some question marks next to his name because his wife, jill, was running for senate in virginia, tear mcauliff was the governor of virginia and was giving her hundreds of thousands of dollars through

this committee. and he is really good friends with hillary clinton. meanwhile, jill, who is running for senate, her husband, andy mccabe, he is running the fbi. he is the deputy director of the fbi who is investigating hillary clinton. all right. his mom -- his wife is taking money from hillary's friend. it just looks fishy. how is he going to react to hillary clinton with her classified information? remember the fbi is investigating. pete: they exonerated her. griff: don't forget, too, peter strzok and lisa page the investigator and the lawyer for whom were having an affair. ainsley: another couple. griff: political bias. they were working directly for andy mccabe. what we may find out from this report it gives us an even larger look, pulling the curtain back on inherent political bias at the doj. pete: we have been talking about russia, russia, russia, which we are forced to talk about on this channel because everyone else wants to talk about it all day long. this poll caught our eye in the "u.s.a. today" suffolk poll. on the top issues affecting

2018 voters. so if you had to guess how high would russia be on the list that people care about when they're going to go to the polls in the midterm? there have you it right there. top issues, immigration, and border security. school safety, of course, a lot of debate we are having right now. education and taxes, yeah, you skip about 12 and then you get down to russia and russia meddling. ainsley: we won't have elections and meddling if we don't have safety in our country. we are trying to protect your little kids from or this administration is trying to protect your little kids from isis. trying to protect them from getting shot at school. so safety is such a big colonel for americans. and if you talk to anyone who watches our channel, if you go out on the streets. this is the number one topic. griff: this is extremely significant though, i think. i have covered so many elections here in the last years. they always talk about immigration. yet, when the poll numbers come out in these sorts of things. immigration is not the top one. president trump made it an issue. we have got daca, the wall, chain migration. everyone is talking about it now we are seeing as we head

into mid terms. that's on top. school safety. education, taxes always up at the top. now we are seeing immigration and you know no one cares about is what we are talking about in washington where i am. ainsley: the swamp. pete: president trump makes immigration the number one issue. then every other news room in this town has tried to make russia the number one issue for the last year. and it's number 16. because they -- because the bias is so palatable. and the agenda so clear. that people are smart. but the news media thinks people aren't smart and take it hook, line and sinker. kudos to you and to people who cut through that and see the real truth and they talk about issues that really matter to them. ainsley: also, loo look looking ahead to 2020. will he run again? >> jeff flake, is he a republican. he is not on par with the president with his views. at least he says he is not. his voting record shows something else. voting record shows he votes

with the president 87.5% of the time. he doesn't like this president. and someone asked him are you going to run? are you going to run in 2020? would you go up against the president? pete: let's see what he said. >> i do think the president will have a challenge from the republican party. i think there should be. i also think that there will be an independent challenge, particularly if the democrats insist on putting somebody up from the far left of the party. so, you know, two years is a long time in politics. ainsley: he said he would not. he goes on to say he would not rule out a 2020 challenge to the president. griff: he mentioned an independent run. which suggests there still is this sort of never trump faction, but, you know, you look at what speaker ryan and mitch mcconnell they have embraced by and large, taxes and moving forward on what the president wants to do. i think his independent

flirtation he had right there. good luck with that. pete: never trump action lives new editorial boards and cloak rooms in washington, d.c. certainly doesn't live with the grassroots. he votes with president trump 85.7% of the time. he will get the inverse in votes. what's that actually 13%, 14%. not even. there is not even that kind of support for independent challenge. good luck with that senator. ainsley: all right. more headlines for you this morning. urgent manhunt ending overnight for the students studt accused of fatally shooting his parents. he was arrested on a train running through school campus. officers say the 19-year-old's parents listen to this were picking him up from spring break when he decided to open fire in his dorm room before he ran off. his father was a police officer and a national guard veteran. his mother a breast cancer survivor. and now they leave behind two children without their parents. the motive is still unclear. in extreme weather heavy rains flooding and pounding

pastor, who is so highly reveered. so highly respected by people of all walks of life. you know, christians, are not covering this more extensively. that problem is that so many journalists in this country are so out of touch with the people of middle america and particularly people of faith and the values that are so important to them. ainsley: one of four that didn't serve in office that was selected to lie in honor at the rotunda. i mean, this is a big deal. this man, he influenced presidents. he influenced queen elizabeth. and networks giving him 26 seconds? doesn't he deserve more? >> i know, ainsley, it is appalling. i mean, it's not surprising though at the same time. you look at journalists and numerous across the country and there is such a lack of diversity. there is a study from the 1980s still widely cited today that shows just this lack of diversity and how their echo chambers and this study shows, it's called the media elite. how so many journalists and people in the mainstream

media are not people of faith. and so they are not the people in churches on sunday. they are not in the synagogues. and for that reason they have a hard time understanding people of faith and the issues that are important to them. and, also, you know, faith seems to be coming under attack day in and day out in this country. you look at joy behar, for example, and the way she attacked the vice president calling him mentally ill for his christian faith or, you know, someone like the southern poverty law center, calling the family research council a hate group. and then mainstream media outlets like cbs and others rolling with it and dubbing it as in fact a hate group. so it's the whole disconnect there. pete: we saw the lack of coverage. but, brasm wa billy graham famoy bipartisan. talking to republicans and democrats. his compass was the gospel. what would his message be at the moment? >> i think his message would be unity. his message would be putting aside politics and coming together.

you know, agreeing to disagree. and his whole message, when he would go out and he would have these revivals, it was god loves you. and that's really the bottom line. griff: jenna, you know, it's also lost this man who traveled and reached 200 million and also in the 1950s saw whites and blacks segregated at tent rallies and said take those ropes down. they should have honored a guy who broke so many barriers. jenna, thank you so much. >> thank you so much. pete: such a great point. look at that contribution alone in addition to how many lives he has affected. great stuff. one sheriff is making his policy loud and clear after police were criticized for their response to the florida school shooting. florida school shooting. when there is an active shooter situation, we go. in that sheriff joins us next. ainsley: governor mike huckabee firing back after being forced to resign from the cma board over his political beliefs. you will hear from him next. ♪ bring my plans ♪ baby that's all right ♪ this is a drop everything

griff: your response certainly is getting a lot of folks in the country saying gosh, i would do the same thing. what do you say this morning to people all across the country that are looking back now, reflecting on what happened in florida? >> you know, i was watching along with everybody else what was going on in florida. and the way the sheriff down there was reacting and deflecting and i just wanted my people to understand that we don't wait. when there are children being murdered in a school you don't wait. when you go in and take on a shooter and save as many lives as you can. that's what you signed up for. when you raised your hand, when you put this badge on, you agreed to go in. i just wanted to make sure that my people understood where i stood on that matter and what was expected of them. ainsley: so what do you say to all these people who say we need more gun control, we need to disarm our citizens. we don't need to put a wall up down on the border.

>> well, this is not a gun issue. this is obviously -- what happened in broward county, florida, is not a gun issue. it's a complete failure of law enforcement to protect its citizens. from the fbi ignoring the warnings to the broward county sheriff's office ignoring the warnings to if the investigation shows that they did stay outside and that was the case, that's a problem. it's not a gun issue. and as far as the wall at the border, that is a national security issue. it's not a race issue. it's not a religious issue. it's protecting our citizens and i completely support the president on the wall. and it's not a gun issue at all. griff: sheriff, i want to bring you back. play you a sound by the of the sheriff israel saying his deputy's failure to act isn't his responsibility. take a listen and i want you to respond. >> as i said, i'm the sheriff. my name is on the door. the people responsible are the ones who took the calls

and didn't follow up on them as it was with the fbi, as it was with any -- with any person. leaders cannot -- leaders are responsible for the agency. but leaders are not responsible for a person. i gave him a gun. i gave him a badge. i gave him the training. if he didn't have the heart to go in, that's not my responsibility. griff: sheriff murphee, i see you nodding your head. >> he is the responsibility. he is the elected sheriff. he is accountable not only for his people's safety but for their actions. you know, i got news for him. yeah, his name is on the door. his name is also on those policy manuals. his name is also going to be at the top of those lawsuits. and his name is going to be on the ballot in the near future. and he needs to accept responsibility and he needs to set back and let the flde do their job and chips fall where they may.

simply being here, simply put, what is you the rnc and trump administration hopes to bring to the hispanic community in hopes of bringing them on board. >> yesterday i held a house party in miami with people from the hispanic community and we talked about how under president trump hispanic employment is at an all-time record low, 4.9%. we talked about the tax cuts. had a businessman there saying i left the republican party. i'm a small business owner. his name is guido. because of president trump and his championing. i have joined the republican party again. reach out to the puerto rico community some devastated by the hurricane who have come to florida. we have been reaching out to them. why want them to know that they have a home in the republican party. and we just have had so many great events here in florida. we continue to do that all through this election cycle and beyond.

griff: reasonna, there is a new "u.s.a. today" suffolk county poll out immigration at the top of the good mid terms. what else the rnc's sales pitch to latino voters when it comes to this issue of immigration? >> it is interesting yesterday they did not bring up immigration. they talked about tax reform. school choice. some of them benefited from charter schools. although the president has led on immigration. he really has. putting forward this deal with the pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers. the biggest ever deal with the request that we enhance our border security. we end the visa lottery system and end chain migration and focus on merit based immigration system. a system that helps our economy. brings people in that will fill jobs in our economy. something that canada does.

the president has been so reasonable on this issue. he has put forward a deal that democrats would have jumped at under president obama. it shows how disingenuous the democrats are. they don't want to work with the president on any issue. even if it's good for people they are claiming to represent. so the president is leading the way on this. griff: what evidence are you seeing that that message is cutting through? the left is very good at identity politics racial politics. they will say hey, we are fighting for you. yet, republicans like yourself will say hey, look at the economy. look at jobs. coming back. you should be with us. how are you cutting through that misinformation campaign to get the facts to people we are across this country. we are in 22 states. we have made more voter contacts in this off year than we have ever made before a midterm. but, i'm also seeing it in polling, too. these tax cuts, what they

have done for our economy, with people getting bonuses and higher wages. and enhanced money into their 401(k)s, they feel it they feel better about our country. they know it's president trump and republicans who are making their life better. and they also recognize democrats are now the party of no. griff: chair woman ronna mcdaniel thank you very much and enjoy that sunshine it's windy and stormy up here. it's a beautiful shot behind you. thank you for joining us on this saturday. >> thanks for having me. griff: matt schlapp, chris stirewalt and geraldo rivera fasten your seat belt. they are all here live. pete: i would love to have a conversation all three of them. we will hear from them separately. maybe once together. who wants to be a millionaire. griff: me. pete: some students at one school don't because it would be too offensive. charles payne with the message there for those students. there he is coming up next. ♪

he says he will likely sign something next week to raise tariffs on steel for 25% and aluminum 10%. >> we need great steel makers and aluminum makers for defense. >> this is long overdue the last three or four presidents have promised to level the playing field as far as steel is concerned. they haven't done that president trump is doing it. >> leaders with the european union are threatening to retaliate on american products. products like levi's jeans bourbons and harley davidson motorcycles. bob casey tweeted this is a welcomed step. pete, griff, ainsley? pete: ellison, thank you very much. people can hear trade and tariffs and eyes glaze over. this could hit people where they're at. griff: this is another example of president trump looking at issues saying hey, we are losing hundreds of billions of dollars on campaign deals. you saw in a tweet the

president had, trade deals, trade wars. they are good. we are going to win. this no problem. it's interesting that no one is even willing to listen to his idea and don't forget, can he, by the stroke of his pen, begin to take some of these actions. we will see what happens. in fact, we talked with charles payne from business network and got a little sound bite. some insight from what he has to say about it. here's what he said. >> first of all, whenever you see the imf european union and "wall street journal" same side of the issue maybe someone has got something right here. president trump isn't talking about a 1930s tariff on 20,000 items. what he is saying that cheap steel coming out of china is ruining our potential to not only have a great manufacturing base but a strong national defense. it makes sense to me. the fact that all of these dispirit parties don't like it makes me feel better about it. griff: charles also saying look we buy over $500 billion worth of goods and services from china.

if china is going to go to war with us. okay. we will buy that from somebody else. pete: president has also tweeted if you don't have steel you don't have a country. people would say what does that mean? if you don't have industrial base that can produce your own ships and own planes and own air cavity carriers and tanks. you are beholden to another country or industry if there is unfortunately a moment when you need those things. you have to have that industrial base. let's have a stare down and see where it goes. that's the argument he is making. making. ainsley: let'let's talk about what is happening at the doj. michael horowitz inspector general at the doj. he is investigating what's going on with the fbi, if there has been any -- you know, how they ended up spying on the trump campaign. he is expected to release a report either this month in march or next month. expected to be critical of the former deputy director of the fbi, mr. andrew mccabe. pete: that's right. it's part of a broader review of the fbi and justice department. how they handled the investigation into hillary clinton's use of a private server. of course, andy mccabe

oversaw that investigation just like he oversaw the russia investigation. what we are learning or what has come out and we will see the full report later on, is that andy mccabe was behind a lot of the leaks that came out. and there is just -- there is a few that were pointed to directly, one in the "wall street journal" where he leaked. it leads you to believe that if he leaked once, then what other times was information come out from him or others to spin a particular narrative. griff: let me give you quick context memos. this report from the ig. here is what we are going to see in it, okay? what you need to know. pete: about mccabe. >> going to be critical of his actions in the last week of the 2016 campaign. going to uncover information that he was behind the leaks. leaking sensitive details about the clinton investigation. at the end of the day pulling the curtain further back on systematic political bias at the nation's premier. ainsley: four sources say he

was contributing to stories giving journalist information about hillary clinton's investigation. he could always say because this is common practice according to the articles i have read about this. it is common practice within the doj or fbi if reporters don't have the full story then they can call up the reporter or get them information you don't know everything. as long as they don't disseminate classified information. if he did do this, was it classified information. was he doing it because he was careless or ad add to the story or doing it because he was in the camp with hillary clinton or in bed with hillary clinton. many people think that could be the case. i will tell you why. his wife jill was run for senate in the state of virginia. terry mcauliff was the governor. and gave her money, funneled her money to help with her campaign. well, terry mcauliff is really good friends with the clintons. so, you have andrew mccabe with the fbi and investigating hillary clinton whether or not she did classify information. meanwhile his wife is

running for senate in virginia. she didn't end up winning but taking money from hillary's friends. pete: michael horowitz inspector general at the department of justice. you don't know his name now. when the report comes out it would be be the biggest we use bombshell too much but pulling back of the curtain about things we didn't know about. griff: reporting on it from washington in the coming weeks and days. one more story. and the reporters that travel a lot. i hate to pick on any airline and i'm not gonna. ainsley: especially the one you fly. griff: the one i'm getting back on to fly to washington. delta says they are severing ties with the nra. pete: delta led the ties on the -- on corporations saying we won't partner with the nra. they give some fringe benefits to nra members. they publicly put it out on twitter. fly delta all the time. i think it's a great airline. i don't want my airline to be my moral compass.

nunes taking on the fbi once again. in a blistering letter to the doj nunes alleges the agency surveillance warrant on a former trump advisor clearly broke the rules on submitting evidence to the fisa court he pointed back to the fake trump dossier. joining us now with his reaction is a man who has been at the forefront of all of this, the president of judicial watch tom fitton. tom, what say you? >> well, i know i think it's pretty darn interesting that you have an intelligence committee chairman having to remind the fbi and justice department what the rules and the laws are. and pretty obvious rules and laws and the rule he was pointing to with the fbi is they got to make sure that they are presenting accurate information to the fisa the court is expected to rely on it. and of course they didn't make sure it was accurate. they pretend it was accurate and arguably mislead the court. and on top of that. if indeed that was done, all sorts of criminal laws are

violated. including conspiracy, obstruction of justice and things like that. and you got to wonder why it is this justice department hasn't taken action until now. now, recall, we only know about this after the intelligence committee fought the justice department and fbi for almost a year to get information about the background on the dossier. they covered up its origins. they didn't want to turn it over to the congress. and i guess it's an unfortunate -- it's unfortunate but not surprising that they are having to be told now maybe you need to do an investigation and explain yourself in terms of violations of law and your own protocols. griff: well, tom, on that point, how important is it that we all see the country see the application for that fisa warrant? >> i think it's extremely important. we have these dueling memos. use to target the trump

team. we need the underlying materials. we have sued for it in court. i know congress wants it as well. the white house should declassify the material. taking a step back, the dossier i is the reason for the mueller investigation. no dossier no, mueller investigation. this is why i suspect the justice department and fbi don't want to say much or do much on the dossier which was improperly used because it's currently being improperly used to target mr. trump. if i were general sessions, or i were president trump, i would say hold on a second, what are we doing here? let's pus a pause on this mueller investigation until we figure out how this dossier has been misused because we're not going to allow any of our court processes to continue to be abused and the justice department to continue to be abused pursuing this clinton campaign document that has no verification. griff: well, tom, we will see what happens this week. just ten seconds left here. do you think we will see

some movement this week? >> i doubt we will see movement this week. i think there is going to be loggerheads in terms of getting information out about the dossier unless the white house interconvenience. griff: tom fitton the head of judicial watch at the forefront of this as always, tom, thank you for coming on a saturday and thank you for what have you done on this story. it's very important and there will be more to come. thanks, tom. >> you're welcome. griff: it may be a liberal paradise, new study says california is dead last when it comes to quality of life. would it have anything to do with being a sanctuary state? chuck woolery on that next. look outside, pete trying to get in his car. will he? he is trying to talk -- he is working it just smile, pete. oh, yeah. that's locked. that's locked. so we are playing skrillex and diplo for you i got it.

pete pet welcome back to very important subject are tech giants trying to purge conservatives? breitbart reporting that engagement on president trump's official facebook post plummeted almost had 5% since january. the drop happened to coincide with a major, quote, update to facebook's news feed a al algorithm it claims benefit consumers. was there alternative motive here. we are asking the author of search and destroy why you can't trust google inc. scott klee land. one tweak to an algorithm who change what and, when do you think that's at play here? >> you have to realize the tech platforms, monopoly platforms they are essentially central planners. what people should be

looking at are these changes when facebook or google, facebook makes changes. are they applying them fairly, if facebook wants to have political views. it's certainly free to do that. when it represents itself to be a fairenned or neutral platform, which it has it, needs to do that. so when you see numbers like 45% down for the trump engagement, people should go, hmmm let's see if that's happening across the board on on the other side. pete: represent yourself middle of the road but leftist you are lying to me. facebook says we are a platform where everyone is even but slanting it against conservatives that becomes the problem. >> yes, it is. think of them. they are an intermediary platform. in english what that means is they are either an honest platform like they say or they could be a biased platform. and that's -- could be have, very big problem. pete: could be, are they that's the question?

they slanting against the platforms. prager university. it's a big fear. >> follow the results. follow the evidence. the evidence to date appears to be that the -- that they're tilting one way or another. and that -- they are tilting potentially, you know, towards the left rather than towards the right. now, once again, that's their right if they're saying that's what they so choose to do. but, you know, what you have to realize is 2016 election facebook is very different than the 2018. pete: scott, what do we do 'it. >> two things you need to understand. they changed their mission and they changed the organizing principle. what you need to do about it have very close vigilance. people should be tracking these numbers. if they don't think they are being treated fairly they need to make a stink about it it's a black box. they're not necessarily -- no one know what is goes on in there.

the only thing we know is the output that comes. so, track the facts and track it. but what we do know is they changed their mission last year from a corporate kind of growth mission to a very political mission. pete: yeah. >> build community and to bring people together. they have signaled they need to be watched. pete: that's a scary thing and monopoly means they have enormous amount of power. very interesting book. scott klee land, author of search and destroy why he can't trust google inc. i would add facebook and other sites to that as well. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks, pete. >> thanks, pete. pete: media has been telling to you care about russia, russia, russia. what issues actually matter to real americans? here's a hint. russia doesn't make the top five or the top ten or the top 15. plus, chris wirlt, chuck woolery and geraldo rivera and country singer aaron watson all here live for a final hour of "fox & friends" with ainsley earhardt on a saturday

charge us. 800 billion in trade deficit. have no choice. in an earlier tweet he said trade wars are good and easy to win. the president has long advocated for something like this. he says he will likely sign something next week to raise tariffs to 25% for steel, 10% for aluminium, but as i said earlier, if he's looking for support within his own party, he might have trouble finding it. >> very bad advice from somebody down there. i hope the president doesn't really do this because if he does, it is going to -- it is just going to be a huge tax on american citizens. and it's going to discombobulate a lot of our economy here. >> what's been allowed to go on for decades is disgraceful. it is disgraceful. we need great steelmakers, great aluminium makers for defense. >> there's a report in the washington post today that former trump advisor sold off

everybody says no no, you can't do that. that's in that one tweet ellison said trade wars are good. this is easy. we can win. charles payne talked to us a bit earlier was talking a little bit about that. here's what he had to say. >> whenever you see the imf, the european union, the "wall street journal" and a communist all party on the same side on an issue, it makes you wonder maybe someone has something right here. listen, president trump isn't talking about a 1930's tariff on 20,000 items. what he's saying that cheap steel coming out of china is ruining our potential to not only have a great manufacturing base but a strong national defense. it makes sense to me. the fact that all the other parties don't like it, makes me feel better about it. >> aluminium, steel does affect everyone. as you can see you are drinking out an aluminium can here. the number one issue it appears is safety. whether that's on the border or

in our schools. there was a poll. they said the top issues affecting you america is immigration and border security. that's what you all say is number one. number two is school safety. number three is education. number four taxes. number 16 was the russia election meddling. so you have mainstream media if you watch any of those channels, they are watching russia. adam schiff is talking about russia. condoleezza rice was on the view and said you need to stop on this. no one cares. it's been going on and on. >> it's clearly not been effective. since this president was elected all the other networks want to talk about russia, russia. for average americans, they don't care about it. what do they care about it? griff, you pointed this out, immigration, border security, which was not the top topic for a long time. the president made it a topic through his sheer force of will and his belief it is a pressing issue. the media is not effective in

their ability to drive the way voters think. >> even further, views on immigration have changed. the president says we're going to lead for the name of security and certainly from arizona, texas, california and beyond this impacts real folks on a day-to-day basis, and it is at the forefront whether you like it or not. it is going to play a big part in this midterm elections coming up. >> because you are not going to care about russia meddling in the election when you have a shooter walking in your kid's school. that's what parents care about. that's what keeps us up at night. that's our biggest nightmare. or isis coming across the border. or ms 13 we have interviewed those two moms at the state of the union address, ms 13 brutally murdered their daughters. the idea of that happening to my child or any of your kids at home, that's what america cares about. >> that's where the left is so out of step. you have the mayors of cities in california alerting illegal criminals to the fact that i.c.e. raids are going to happen. that's what the 2018 midterms

could be and will be litigated on. the daca deal hasn't been made. the wall hasn't been built. that's a campaign issue. if you want to run for security and a daca deal against illegal immigration, i think the republicans still feel like that's a winning hand. >> perhaps a little bit of what will be in the midterms is some political correctness run amok, we see that with governor huckabee just appointed to the country music's board, the cma's board there and he gets kicked out. >> think how qualified he is, loves music, been in a band for years, hosts tv shows, well connected, country music singers and fans alike love mike huckabee so they invite him to be on the board of cma foundation. it is a charity. it is a 501-c 3 i believe. yet the reaction from the insiders rejects him because of his political views. it ultimately came down he's a conservative, believes some things we may not agree with so

we need to kick him off the board. he didn't get kicked off. he resigned. >> but he was kind of pushed off. >> this is a quote, huckabee uses languish that has a profoundly negative impact upon young people across the country. not to mention how harmful and damaging his deep involvement is with the nra. what a shameful choice. the fact that you can't tolerate someone with different views who agrees with you that music is good and country music is good and we can help kids love music, that's the definition of intolerance. >> we had a few people in nashville that are saying he's too conservative. i was shocked by that. it is nashville. country music. the people who listen to country music, they love mike huckabee. they love his beliefs. you don't like all of his beliefs, it doesn't mean he's a bad person. we can live together, serve on boards together and bring different things to the table. that's the point of it all. >> i was borned and raised in memphis. i hate to see this sort of new nashville evolving. >> i know, it makes you sad.

>> hollywood east. >> governor huckabee was on last night talking about this. listen to the governor. >> and our country is at a place where on the one arena where people ought to be able to get together, putting aside anything from race or ethnicity or religion or politics or the heritage, or anything, that we could come together and celebrate that one part of life that civilizes us which is the arts. when we can't have that, then i fear that our civilization may not be long for this earth if that doesn't even civilize us a little more. this shouldn't be about my views on marriage, which are biblical and traditional. it shouldn't be about my politics, which are conservative. it should be about kids getting musical instruments. that's all this was ever about for me. >> pretty straightforward. we had larry gatlin of country music fame on this program earlier. that is what he had to say about it. >> they have selected tolerance. they are tolerant of people who

agree with them. mike huckabee is no threat to these people. that's the way this simple texan feels about it. i love everybody who aren't trying to kill me and so does mike. >> you talked about a new nashville. there's a new reality, levers of control in nashville, even though you think of it as a conservative medium have become more left. >> we talk about what joy behar said if you are mentally ill if you hear from god. talking about what's happening with this executive board in nashville and you might think it doesn't really affect me. joy behar lives in new york and it is not going to affect your family. what's happening though is you are getting all of these liberal views. it is one view after another. i was just reading the hungry caterpillar to my daughter and i think about the caterpillar eating that leaf. that's what's happening. it is one bite, another bite, another bite and the leaf is gone. that's why these stories with important and we have to bring them to you. we have to tell you the other side of the story because our

country is just being eaten away one bite at a time. >> great point. >> but before the caterpillar ate the leaf, though, he ate ice cream and lollipops. i've read that book a thousand times. >> and then they turn into a beautiful butterfly. america is going to be just fine. >> taking a picture with george w. bush in a tank top. the former president is responding. >> he was the number two man on the fbi. now andy mccabe is the number one target for leaking. we have a guest to weigh in on the new report, coming up next. ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, ... with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques.

>> a bombshell new report from the inspector general may shed some light on the source of some of the leaks to the media. >> that's michael horowitz.

he's expected to fault former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe for authorizing leaks as well as misleading investigators in his final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign. >> here to tell us what all of this means is fox news politics editor and editor of the halftime e-mail report chris stirewalt. thank you for being here. >> happy saturday. >> great to have you. you know, we hear about andy mccabe. we have heard him in the news. he's obviously stepped side previously, but this inspector general report and what it reveals, who could it implicate and how far could it go? >> this is really just the first tremor that we're getting out of something that we expect to be very very consequential. there have been two investigations in washington that have dominated really the discussion, and we're all waiting to a certain degree, we're all treading water until we find out obviously what special counsel robert mueller and his team come up with on the 2016 election. but this inspector general's report is going to be consequential not just about how

the -- it is the investigation of the investigation, but it is also this, what went wrong? why did hilary clinton -- why did the investigation into hilary clinton's mishandling of state secrets why did that go as poorly as wrongly as it did? all of the mistakes, all the errors. this is our first tremor. and the tremor says mccabe leaked, that he was leaking to the "wall street journal" and he was putting out damaging information on hilary clinton at a crucial moment in the campaign which is not a good look. >> so you mentioned damaging information about hilary clinton. so was there a political motivation? was there an institutional motivation? do we know anything about why he was leaking? >> i hate to ascribe motives to people when i don't know them, but i will say in this case, the fbi so badly screwed up at the beginning of the cycle, when they -- james comey gave the press conference where he said hilary clinton is a bad person and lied to you, but i can't find any criminal activity here. so have a good election. and then you have the tarmac meeting with loretta lynch and bill clinton, and it looks so

bad, it feels like and this is just surmise on my part, but it feels like at the end between comey and mccabe, they were trying to do a make good. they put out the anthony weiner e-mail letter. they hit hilary clinton right under the water line right at the end, i this trying to spare -- i think trying to spare their reputations in the expectation that clinton was going to win the election anyway. >> you do such a good job in the halftime report in distilling things down. >> thank you. >> you are welcome. people are pretty tired of memos and dossiers and now this inspector general report. >> everyone is confused. >> breaking this down, what is it -- is it political bias at the fbi? is it systematic leaking? what is the take away that we are going to possibly learn from this? >> first of all, i'm nervous that griff you have fallen in with dangerous company up there in new york. you've gone away from us and now things could turn bad for you. be careful. [laughter] >> number one, number two, we have no earthly idea what is going to happen. you know, we live in a minute

rice culture and society. we want all the answers right now. we want to know this moment. we have to do this stuff. we also, though, know that we need to have surety. we need to understand what's really going on here. we have been living in this blizzard of leaks where it is wilderness of mirrors. everything you look at this, does this mean that or is this the other guy? we're getting close with mueller and horowitz. we will get some answers and have information. won't that be refreshing? >> could it possibly end the conversation? will facts rule the day? >> what the heck would we talk about after that? i hope it doesn't end all the conversation. >> true. >> yes or no, do you trust michael horowitz because he's with the doj and he's investigating the doj and the fbi? >> he has a heck of a good reputation. i have never met him. but he has a heck of a reputation >> so do you. you have a great reputation. >> thank you. a 20-year-old's resignation letter is going viral. why he's choosing the 2nd

welcome back. couple of quick headlines for you, in the wake of the deadly school shooting, florida governor scott is declaring february 14th as marjorystoneman douglas high school remembrance day. he is also inviting the community to hold a moment of silence today at 3:00 p.m. which is 17 days after 17 people were killed in that shooting. and more than 31 million dollars will be split amongst 532 victims from the las vegas shooting massacre. on monday, families of the 58 killed will get $275,000.

as well as those suffering permanent damage. victims who were hospitalized will also receive funds, ranging from 17,000 to 200,000 dollars. griff? california has the worst quality of life in the entire united states. that's according to a new study by the u.s. news and world report, which looked at voter participation, air quality and pollution among other factors. >> so what does this say about liberal states in general, especially when four of the top five states in the study have republican governors? here to discuss is hollywood conservative and cohost of the blunt force truth pod cast mr. chuck woolery. good to see you. >> nice to see you all this morning. how are you? >> you grew the facial hair. it looks good. >> well, it comes and goes. [laughter] >> the whole thing with california is i think it is about air quality. they are constantly talking about air quality as, you know, being a good place to live and whether it's safe to live there and all that kind of stuff. it is really not about air

quality. although they want to say that. it's about everything. i will give you an example, i had a house out there for a few years in beverly hills. i paid 3 million 2 for it. okay? i went back a few months ago, that same house is on the market today for 8 million dollars. >> wow. >> i mean, it's insane what's going on. >> you should have kept it. >> yeah, right, i should have kept it, you are right. the point is that everything is just -- once democrats get ahold of -- i'm going to do this. i know it sounds hyperbolic but i don't mean it to be. once the progress left gets ahold of the state, this is kind of what happens to it. they tax their way to prosperity and it always ends up in desperation. they get rid of the middle class. i find that interesting. politicians are always saying we are doing all this to help the middle class. the middle class will be saving on taxes and everything else and they basically tax the middle class out of existence then you have these ultra rich people who live there and then very poor

people who live there. of course you get the illegal immigration all mixed in to that, and it becomes very toxic. >> chuck, as a surfer and been in southern california surfing, i have a hard time picking on it. you bring up a good point. we just had the oakland mayor, who basically tweeted a heads up to illegal immigrants that i.c.e. was coming and now we learn from i.c.e. that more than 800 of them had criminal records. you know, why is it a state that has so much to offer, particularly to surfers, doing these crazy things. >> well, it's very odd because the left has a tendency for some reason and i'm not so sure the right does this, but the left has a tendency to say if i don't agree with the law, i'm just not going to follow it. now you are finding mayors and governors who are doing this. my point is i think if a mayor breaks the law, with this illegal immigration with i.c.e. and everything else or if the

governor breaks the law, they should be held accountable like anybody else. the problem is we never do that. it will be interesting to see if the doj steps in, does their job and says okay you are breaking the law, if you continue to do this, we will put you in jail. this woman said she was very willing to go to jail and that would be all right with her. i think they should accommodate her. >> for a state like california is there a tipping point? is there a point at which the society they built is untenable and sort of falls under its own weight? >> when i moved to texas and bought a house, i bought a brand new house on the lake here right outside of austin, my taxes that i saved by being in texas pay for my house. completely. so -- and by the way, i didn't know that when i got here. that's not the reason i moved. i found out later that i was saving that much in taxes. liberals have a tendency to tax themselves right out of existence. they have held on to state for

about 40, 45 years and that's about as long as i was there. i watched the demise come down. it is a shame because california is such a fabulous place. i mean the weather, the ocean, the mountains, the skiing, the desert, there's just so much there, so rich. and i have two children that live there and work there, and, you know, i hope they are okay. >> now you are in austin. so chuck, keep austin weird as the logo goes. >> i'm just outside of weird. [laughter] >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much, chuck. >> see you, bye bye. >> delta gives up a 40 million dollars tax break over 13 passengers who bought tickets with their nra discount. seriously? >> and ben shapiro given the questions for the ages can politics and relationships mix? geraldo and his wife don't always agree, he says. so how is that working for them? we will ask him, coming up next.

on. that's not my point. the things they have said about this man, the things they are trying to do to his family, unparalleled in american history. >> unparalleled in american history, someone who has known president trump and his family for quite some time, geraldo rivera, fox news correspondent at large. thank you for being with us. always enjoy having you on. >> hey, geraldo. >> hi ainsley. >> isn't it great to have her on saturday? >> ainsley on saturday. >> i love you all on a saturday. >> we're happy to talk to you. you know the trump family very well. mark levin saying these attacks they are getting are like nothing we have seen in political history. do you agree? >> i absolutely do. i have known them for years. we did celebrity apprentice together. i even did dancing with the stars with the daughter tiffany. i know all the children. don jr. and i had a kid in the same school for years. i think they are being treated

for no good reason. they are given the kind of scrutiny and negative attention that's unprecedented. always been the rule, historically, traditionally, that the children of the chief executive are given a pass. can you imagine attacking sasha and malia the way they have attacked ivanka, for example? it is beyond the pale. it is extremely distressing. they don't like the president or his policies, go after that, but leave the children alone. >> i will push back. malia and sasha were kids in the white house. you have senior advisor, son-in-law, his daughter is also an advisor. they are in the political arena. your sense is it goes into the personal side and beyond politics. >> it is absolutely personal, pete. the fact of the matter is when you watch what they -- when they

talk about ivanka, for example, it is not so much about policy. it is about her imperious nature, it is her clothing, it is implications of conflicts of interest and dishonesty and double dealing and the kinds of issues for which there is no proof, and yet they feel that because there is this relationship to the president, and because they are in the white house, serving, i might add, jared and ivanka for no salary, that they can be savaged by critics as if they were the elected official. i really think it's unfair. i think that it goes beyond the pale. there are sometimes where i feel very personally irked by it. i do believe that the way they are mistreated and disrespected is something that is an insalt -- an insult to the whole family. >> you are married to erica.

you have a daughter with erica. there's a picture of you all. so cute. you love her. >> i do. >> we want to talk about it. sometimes you all have differing opinions on politics. ben shapiro was talking in st. paul in minnesota, a college student stands up in the audience and he says basically i'm a conservative. my girlfriend is a liberal. how do we handle this in our relationship? listen to this. we will talk about your personal life. >> there's a young man here who is dating a young woman who is essentially the very far left. do you have any advice for how this young man go about exposing to her some new ideas without the relationship crashing and burning? >> you are an optimist. you are making a very large mistake. the number one thing you must have in common is values. interests come after values. it is deeply important that you put values before all of the other ancillary things. you have values in common, your marriage can outlast anything. if you don't have values in

common, then the first break and the thing is over. >> all right, geraldo? >> i disagree with ben shapiro's use of the word values because i think liberals and conservatives and moderates can all have values and think that their position is the righteous position. erica and i, it's true, we have a mixed marriage. i am kind of a modern moderate republican. erica is a liberal progressive democrat. she has embraced the resist movement. she's very against many of the president's positions. she would not come with me to mar-a-lago to be with the president because, you know, she thought that the photo op would be a betrayal of her principles. we had -- i won't call it an argument, but i said honey, don't you want to go? no, i don't want to go. i said it's the president of the united states. no, i'm not going to go because

he is against or he is against that. we decided -- i mean there was a time not so long ago, guys, just a couple of weeks ago, where she would be watching msnbc, i would be watching fox, clicking around the dial and we would have arguments about these cosmic issues, big national issues, what to do about this or that. the president's reaction to this or that. and i said, honey, this is like we're on cross fire here in our kitchen. we've got to cool it down. let's just declare a truce. we can live this way. you can vote your way. i can vote or believe my way. you know, there are issues that overlap. we can embrace. you know, we feel the same way about certain issues. different on others. we agree to disagree. i think and this is essentially the bottom line. i believe what's happening in the country right now and this goes with the reaction to the children. the president does not get the benefit of the doubt from people who believe as erica does. i give the president the benefit of the doubt.

and i think there in lies the difference. we can compromise. we can cool things down. we can have mixed marriages. >> that's a good point. >> good advice >> the media comes in with inherent skepticism with anything they do. geraldo, thank you for your time. >> tell erica hello. >> always a candid man, we appreciate that. >> does erica watch when you are on? i hope so. turning to your other headlines. dramatic video showing florida deputies ending a robbery plot. three men arrested on the florida freeway allegedly on their way to rob an armored bank truck of millions of dollars. they were intending to kill the truck drivers. all three are in federal custody charged with conspiracy to commit robbery. a dick's sporting goods employee resigning after the store changed its policies on gun sales. the 20-year-old man of nebraska saying in part, quote, i will not work for a company that pushes for the restriction of the 2nd amendment. i'm being discriminated against. i'm 20 years ole and therefore

what do you think about this? how is delta going to respond? >> i just worry on either side when state legislators kind of wield their hammer on companies whose policies they don't agree with because that's a slippery slope right there. i could well understand the fuel behind this. we will talk to the lieutenant governor of georgia who came up with this but it is a slippery slope. a lot of these companies that were targeted remember in the transgender bathroom debate in north carolina and a lot of conservatives at the time, you know, wanted to target those who were going along with that, and, you know, it's just -- it just bothers me. i think there are better ways to deal with this. we will see what happens. >> isn't it better states than the federal government if you don't like what your state is doing you can pick up and move or you can vote somebody else in at the local level. certainly nothing morally wrong with what georgia chose to do. you said it could flip the other way and has a lot of times in other states. >> the company to your point could up and move and that may

be the pressure right now because a lot of states are wooing delta. they had in excess of 33,000 workers in georgia. i notice that new york's governor cuomo said hey come on over here and some other states were saying the same. i just don't like using a weapon, let's say taxes or anything like that, to punish companies with whom you disagree because then that gets to be a problem. and other companies look at that, gee i may not want to go to georgia because again whether you're pro nra or anti-nra or concerned about this because it is another factor in thinking no sooner do i set up shop there and then they will do something -- >> what do you say about the companies that are doing it? i know government is different than these companies. they have a right to do it. >> they do. they have the right to rise or fall based on these decisions. you know, if you think about it, companies don't want controversy. the more they can stay away from it, the more they welcome it. delta's ceo said as much. you know, they don't like it.

so when that decision or whatever reason you want to call out, you know, they are just trying to avoid a fuss. in this case delta just invited more of it. >> they sure did. as they focus more on social causes, is it cutting into their bottom line? >> well, we don't know. that's the thing, a lot of companies in an effort to avoid the heat of the moment by removing any association with whatever is creating the heat of the moment end up paying for that later. >> yeah. >> but, you know, it's way too early to tell whether cooler heads prevail or delta up and moves. no easy move there. i mean, we'll just have to see, but i just worry about that trend because companies should rise or fall based on how their investors are responding and their customers and leave it at that. >> neil we will be watching you 11 short minutes on that channel. >> thanks, guys, very much. >> thank you neil.
