president trump arriving back in washington after an overnight fund-raising stop in florida searching republicans have asked the ag this week to appoint a separate special counsel to investigate the fbi open the department of justice. congressman lee diseldman is leading the charge. >> you can't expect the doj and the fbi to investigate themselves. concerns other a potential trade war after the president announced steep new tariffs. the president has tweeted the united states has an $800 billion a year trade deficit because f our quote, stupid trade policies. windows designed to protect

people from wind and debris, may have saved a lot of lives on the day of the shooting. 2 million people across 13 states still without power after a relentless nor'easter. states declaring a state of emergency. good morning, everybody. 6:01 on the east coast. getting cuff rachel compos before the hour, get the show. get to the end game as you might say. welcome. >> thank you. i'm so happy to be here. i was missing you guys yesterday. i was hoping they were going to play '90s music because this guy went to "90s prom theme

night yesterday. >> are you serious? i was serious, yes i did. they played madonna, vogue and taylor swift bringing us into the day. i was leaving just any workout pants and had my overcoat on and she said, are you in -- and i was like, no no, it's workout clothes. she thought it was naked. >> that's what we're waking you up with this sunday morning. >> with that visual. >> i hope you're awake. or just go back to sleep. we're glad that you're here. as it happens on sunday morning, there's news breaking on saturday night. the president gave a speech on friday night at mar-a-lago to a fund-raising group there. >> donors, right? >> absolutely donors. and another network here that the president called fake news network, cnn, obtained audio of what the president said at that speech and released it yesterday. listen to what the president

says and then imagine how to so-called mainstream media would have responded to it. listen to this. >> . >> he's now president-elect. i think it's great. >> okay. so he is pointing, making a joke about the fact -- which it's an oobs salute fact. the president of china xi jinping has extended for life. you could hear the laughter in the room. >> as you hear also the silverware moving around and room noise. the reason why, there was no press involved. this was a fund-raising group. this is saturday that he's meeting with these people. it's specifically not to have cameras, audio. but yet if you remember the mitt

romney thing where a waiter put a hidden mike phone next to a glass of water, we adopt know where the audio came from, people were trying to secretly tape the president and release it to cnn and it's pointed to evidence that. >> it's a joke. it's a joke! and the president loves to, you know, entertain wherever he's at. he's got the entertainment vibe about him. he likes to entertain the crowd. ' always brings up dictatorship. always saying dictatorship this and dictatorship with that trump. if you're a dictator, do you detrallize all of your government, do you give power back to the people? i mean this presidency is the opposite of a dictatorship. our last presidency is more about centralizing power in government. >> of course. they overreact and they reyact

with headlines like this. trump praises chinese president extending tenure for life. i think the initial tweet on this may have been brian stelter, dubbed the nation's hall monitor. they don't know when to take the president figuratively and then they take it literal tifly. and they should take it figuratively. matt otay ga, the former director of commun communicatioe never heard of him. he said this is the language of a tyrant, un-american to the core. we are not ruled by a dictator. thank you captain matt ortega. of course we're not ruled by a dictator. russia is. they're having an election. putin will win 96% to have vote. last time i checked president trump won by the electoral college. >> in an election that restored my faith in democracy.

it wasn't about money. just this past week in the wake of the parkland shooting, xi jinping said, you should be more like us and take your guns away from your people. like china. and the mia was mum, nothing about that. mine while this is a president that says, i want to make sure you have your second amendment right, which is a way of keeping the government in response. >> the response from china when you like the tariffs or not. >> you talk about the outrage on the left. but an unlikely person, bill mar, we have seen attacking all sorts of republicans and conservatives actually pointing to the fact that our society has been too easily offended. there's a potential outrage in that this whole, you know, fake news exists because people click on one or two headlines that were put there to create the outrage. listen to what bill mar says

about the news cycles. take a listen. >> it's not hard to find three people who are mad at anything. i could say good morning on twitter and three people would object. good in your privileged world, bar mar. no wonder fake news resonates so much with trump fans. because so much of it is fake. nonsense made to keep you perpetually offended with an endless stream of controversy that aren't controversial and outrages that aren't outrageous. because places like the was feed make their fun on how many clicks they get. people are ignoring their sacrd job of informing citizens of what's so important and sowing the vision for their own ends. hey, wait, isn't that what russia is doing to snus. >> well said. you can't add more of that.

what do you think of bill mar and his rant there. one sentence rings out, perpetually offended with the endless tree dream of controver. said i'm here with cnn, your site for impeachment porn. our dream is a controversy of this president who will be eventually impeached. and bill mar is saying they have a dream of what they want. >> which is why we spent two weeks in the media determining whether donald trump was mentally stable or not and then gone after he gave a press conference to for everyone to see he's not unstable. >> got a little political and i'm guessing with going to go out on a limb here and the os oscars, which some of you may watch, i think it's going to get political.

the oscars made a big deal it's not going to get political. the host is jimmy kimable who ks been very political. a quote from mike deluca ji jims job of hosting his own show is different than hosting the oscar. for our purposes it will be current but not as pointed. good luck with that. jimmy kimmel's show turned into leftist propaganda promoted by nancy schumer. you might remember his best hits. take a listen. you think there are times you have pushed the envelope too far. >> no, i don't. >> you don't regret anything you've said. >> not at all. i don't think you can go too far. >> that was a horrible thing that happened to the republican party. >> the horrible, horrible thing that happened to the republican party. this isn't about the graham cassidy bill, it's about getting rid of obama care which he hates

primarily because obama's name 0 is on it. here's the thing, now that they are aware, it doesn't make a difference. they still don't believe it because everything that isn't fox news is fake news. i>> if they're so turned off by my opinion on gun laws and health care, good riddance. >> i'm not offended by what his opinion is i don't he's funny anymore. he's just not funny. good luck trying to get politics out of jimmy kimmel's oscar presentation. they're wearing the orange pin against. >> that's michael bloomberg's group that is for gun control. when we talk about kimmel getting too political, there's the me too movement, the orange pins for the guns which is every town is the name of the movement, gaining traction, and then it's going to be three or four steps before you get to trump which is general outrage because they hate trump and of

course maybe some of the news about the fact that some believe he wants to be a dictator for life. >> the 2017 oscars hit a nine-year ratings low. a lot of people believe it has to do with the politics and how political they've been. we'll see what happens tonight. >> e-mail and tell us what you think. we've got to get to the headlines starting with the extreme weather. dramatic video capturing an unbelievable rescue from california's sierra mountains after an avenue launch. twavalanche.on the east coast, h toll climbing to nine leaving hundreds of thousands of people still in the dark. the nor'easter unleashing heavy rain and snow, fierce winds. this tree striking a maryland home killing a 77-year-old woman inside. fire cruise in massachusetts rescuing this trapped horse. the governor declaring a state

of emergency as many begin the recovery process. one man is dead of an apparent suicide outside the white house on saturday, forcing a lockdown at the white house. and creating tense moments as the secret scf service investig. the president was at mar-a-lago at the time of the shooting. populous make a strong push for leadership. the former prime minister is leading the charge against mainstream parties with a new age tough on immigration approach. recent polling suggests that no party will win with a clear majority, those are your headlines. >> that's right. corm a coalition. this new billboard is taking aim at the nra calling the group a terrorist organization. we will tell you who's behind that billboard. plus, hillary clinton not out of the woods yet. 13 house republicans calling for

a second counsel to investigate the handling of her e-mail probe. florida congressman matt gates is one of them. he's joining us next. stay in bed, order coffee and get ready for matt gates. >> coffee in bed? models can be simulated... nothing compares to the real thing. experience the command performance sales event for yourself, now through april 2. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

oh! there's one.a "the sea cow""

manatees in novelty ts? surprising. what's "come at me bro?" it's something you say to a friend. what's not surprising? how much money matt saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. not out of the woods yet. literally and figure ra tiffly. 13 house republicans calling on attorney general sessions to appoint a second special counsel to investigate how to fbi and the doj handled the clinton and russian probes. >> matt gates is one of those lawmakers. he joins us now to weigh in. good morning, congressman. there's a lot of talk of jeff sessions. it is time for attorney general jeff sessions to step down? >> well, it's absolutely time for jeff sessions to either a

point a second special counsel like so many republicans have called for or have someone step into that job that can actually do the job. this is evidence of the fact that democrats are very good at always accusing republicans of the things that they themselves do. they accuse trump of collusion with russia and hillary clinton is filling out the deposit slips looking the other way on the uranium deal. they accuse trump of injustice and you've got people clearing the way for hillary clinton. you've got people saying trump can be trusted with the intelligence community. it's the very people that that were prejudicing against trump and engaged in improper acts. we can't have the people at the department of justice and fbi investigate themselves. that's why so many republicans have joined me in calling for a second special counsel so that we can actually have some consequences for these very bad acts that the american people have learned about. >> there's a lot of conversation

about michael horowitz, some people like trey noweddy, expressed faith in his ability to investigate that. do you feel this inspector general's report will be insufficient hence calling for a special counsel? >> it will be helpful to illuminate the facts but the inspector general can't bring charges. i don't like the latest scandal to look like the benghazi investigation when we learn all of the bad things that happened but no one faces the consequence or goes to jail for the bad things that occurred. we'll learn a lot of helpful things from the inspector general's report but we need to use that information and the information congress uncovered and bring charges for obstruction of justice, abuse of process and depravation of rights under the color of law against the people who were clearing the way for hillary clinton and then manifesting their bias against president trump. >> we're going to get a report here in the not too distant future about andrew mccabe,

the deputy director at the department of justice. is he one of the people that could face charges for obstruction of justice based on what you're learning? >> i had a chance to be involved in a closed door deposition of andrew mccabe and it's my belief he was one of the biggest alligators in the swamp. he had to leave his position as a consequence of information that was learned during this investigation. that was the right decision. and unquestionably we should be releasing the information that would allow us to be able to bring prosecutorial charges against folks who broke the law. >> congressman, a lot of this the around the fisa -- another aspect of this is the fisa process. you and others have called for the actual transcripts of the fisa applications to be replaced. we haven't seen the actual applications. will we see them? >> i think we should. i think the intelligence community should work to release the sphie disa applications.

the reason that's so important is that the adam schiff memo states things that are verifiably untrue. if we were able to get the fisa application into the public square, we could instill confidence in the american people that the fbi and the department of justice were biased against the president, they were making misrepresentations to the court and we'll be able to know which individuals we have to get rid of to really drain the swamp and restore confidence in the critical institution to our republic. >> twhaing you for joining us. always good to get your insight. you are certainly in the center of the storm of the swamp. >> thank you all right. well mark lavin, the new host on this channel says attacks on the trump family are unparalleled. >> i have never seen anything like this in my entire life, not with any president or presidential family or any administration. >> have these attacks gone too far? we're going to debate it coming up next. plus, senator jeff flake has

no problem criticizing our current president but what we just found out about his friendly relationship with our last president you see up there, his name, barack obama. >> tech: at safelite autoglass

quick headlines for you. frightening new images, the florida school shooter may have tried to shoot out the window attempting to kill more people. photos obtained by fox news show a window riddled with bullet holes. the third floor windows are hurricane resistant and stopped nikolas cruz from shooting at

students funneling outside. james davis jr. allegedly killing his mom and police officer dad just one day after a run-in with school police. very frightening. he said someone was out to hurt him. we were not able to see any risk for anyone. >> davis is now charged with two counts of murder. democrats and the mainstream media turning their attention from the president to the first family. mark levin, most of levin tv responded calling the level of their attacks unprecedented. >> i have never seen anything like this in my entire life. not with any president, not with any presidential family, not with any administration. these people have done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment. donald trump decided to serve the american people.

yeah, we can disagree on issues and i'll get to some we disagree on. that's not my point. the things they've said about this man, the things they're trying to do to his family, unparalleled in american history. >> here to share their thoughts, ka frein that pearson, a former trump campaign spoke spokespersd a democratic strategist. welcome. we're going to start with you, katrina. is this unparalleled in american history? >> absolutely. this is beyond despicable. the left has no deseency. even though an poll shows that 7% are republican, it just goes to show you they have no bounds. no boundaries at the level and extent they'll go to smear this president, his family and those people around him. whether or not it's his children or even his friends. and it's quite scary. >> what do you say, is this unparalleled or have you seen

this before in other administrations, in your opinion? >> in my own opinion this is not unparalleled at all. this is part of being in the american political system. i'm not sure how many journalists are independents but i'm pretty sure a vast majority of them are compared to being democrats and republicans. it helps for the job. but what i can tell you for a fact is this isn't new. we saw how terrible the right treated the obama presidency and obama's family while he was in office. in fact as i recall on fox last year, a couple of times comments had to be deleted from the fox website, people attacking barack obama's two daughters, using racial slurs about that. in this case you have fully grown children involved in the white house. ivanka trump has a high profile role as does her husband until recently. this isn't unusual that they're under scrutiny at all. >> baron trump is a minor child.

i'm not talking about your ran dop trolls on the internet or your sideways bloggers. i'm talking about mainstream reporters, mainstream hollywood actors and actresses who advocate violence against this family. it's unprecedented. >> real quick. >> can you give me an example. >> i'll give you an example. i'm going to give you an example. i'm going to give you an example and i want you guys spo tond to it or react to it. ivanka goes to the olympics representing the american people, the white house and nbc reporter asked her to comment on her father's accusers. and. >> show that violence? >> let me ask you this. do you think chelsea would have ever been asked about her father's accuserred? and remember her father's indiscretions happened inside the oval office. >> chelsea was a high school

student. >> she was on the campaign trail representing her parents. >> ivanka trump is a full grown woman who has herself been the subject of her father's massageny. i don't think there's a comparison here. you're comparing a minor to a woman who owns her last fashion industry. >> last i checked chelsea was an adult during the last campaign. >> not just the administration. >> exactly the same time people were talking about her own father's misconduct, not a single reporter asked her about that. you're absolutely right. in the case of baron trump, they criticize him all of the time. >> are you seeing journalists are criticizing baron? are you saying journalists -- i'm asking a serious question. are journalists criticizing baron? that would be unprecedented. or are you throwing this out -- gl yo. katrina, you have thet

word. go ahead. hold on. >> katrina, one at a time. one at a time. katrina has the last word. go ahead. >> we're talking about unprecedented criticism period. >> that's untrue. >> you talked about a comment on a website and. >> people attacking people. >> we got to go. thank you very much for a spirited debate. >> unprecedented. young people are backing democrats ahead of republicans. what can the right do to reverse the trend. while many companies in corporate america turn their backs on the nra, some voters are doing the exact opposite. we'll hear why she's signing up to support the second amendment. up next.

well we just need the will power and intestinal fortitude to taken to nra and get something done for the safety of the men, women and particularly the children in our schools. >> we all know that the nra has held the republican party in a vice lock. >> we have a moral responsibility to tell the nra that they are not going to

dictate gun policy in this country anymore. >> well, to paraphrase chuck schumer, we all know that dianne feinstein wants to take your guns as well. someone else who knows that, candace owens, director of the largest conservative movement in the united states. thanks for being here. >> i'm so happy to be here for the fist time. >> welcome. great to have you. you heard the democrats, they're not fans of the nra. you took a dufnt approach recently. you're a former democrat. >> i am. >> just joined an organization that starts with n and ends wih a. >> i joined the nra. i'm a black american and i know the nra was started as a civil rights organization training black american to arm themselves and defend themselves against the kkk. it's incredulous to me. >> i've never heard that before. i>> what the democrats are successful at is wiping away history and rewriting it.

it's important that the black americans take a stand and defend the nra in the way they defended us. >> you said something clicked and you said you've got to speak out. what was that moment. >> they were using racism as a narrative. i always call it ideological slavery. they always want to keep the black vote and they have to keep the themes of racism alive. that's the only way the do it. it's going to take new black leaders speaking out against this and i want to be one of them. >> you're so right. it's the messenger and the message. i'm glad you've stepped tbhard. 62% of millennials said if the elections were held today they would vote democratic, 29% republican. what do republicans and donald trump and his campaign, which she's just launched, what do they need to do to win back the millennials. >> i don't necessarily believe in numbers that i see whatsoever. i mean you just have to understand donald trump is sitting in the white house and

the hill publication ran polls telling us he was not going to be in the white house, that hillary clinton was going to win. let's assume that the polls are accurate. there is a growing youth movement happening. conservative movement that is happening and it is so very exciting right now. nay have to sort of change the lines of communication, get these kids excited. i went to a conference, student action summit and it was like watching elvis presley come back to the dead. it's a fun time to be a conservative in this country. >> what are the issues that speak to millennials millennia. >> there are so many issues. the themes have been hijacked and history the rewritten. >> their college professors are telling them a different story. how do you cut past higher education telling them to love socialism and hate the nra. >> it's re-education. we see a turning point. there are so many conservatives on campus and they're winning

the student body presidency because they understand that's exactly the problem. the schools control the budgets. you have leftist organizations and leftist presidents controlling the school budget getting different speakers that are not conservative. we're presenting them with different ideas and that's what it comes down to. giving them different ideas. >> speaking of not being conservative, you came on all fired about about this story, pointing out 15 trail blazers in women's history month. tell me about them. >> the list is ridiculous. >> there's the list right there. >> it's leftist prop gab da. that can be ignored. but what i thought was interesting is they have the president of planned parenthood on the list as well as the cofounders of black lives matter. how is that possible? if a black lives mattered, we would be talking about the fact that there are 900 black babies aborted every day, 19 million black babies aborted since 1973. this list doesn't make any sense

whatsoever. >> also on that list, jill la brand, nancy pelosi, no ivanka trump, melania. >> ab absolute pi. absolutely. they're punished for the wrong things. they think for themselves which isn't allowed. >> you have a video coming out tomorrow. where can they see that. >> the video is entitled "dear celebrities, no one cares what you think." >> you wound up my thoughts. great t having you. you're awesome. headlines now, new overnight, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in flight to d.c. the president hosting him at the white house tomorrow. as netanyahu facing an alleged role in corruption investigations. a brand-new build board is

turning heads. targeting the nra as a terrorist organization. the liberal group which has slammed gop candidates and called for president trump's impeachment on other websites. senator jeff flake hasn't ruled out against running against president trump in 2020 and it turns out he may be getting somed a surprise from trump's predecessor. the senator revealing he's very much in touch with president obama. >> he called me up after the shooting to make sure i was all right. and the day before i gave my speech before the inauguration, he called saying that he enjoyed working with me. and i certainly said the same. >> so boring. flake says there will be a republican challenger in 2020 because trump has put the party in a quote bad place. grab a box of tissues. an emotional reunion of a

florida state basketball's mom flying in from columbia to surprise him on senior night. brian immigrated to the u.s. as a teen for a better life and his mom -- they said his mom is a good luck charm. the senior guard scored 21 points helping his team win against boston college. another cool dude is rick. >> he is a cool dude. >> thank you. >> you're the weather guy mpleg it'.>> might be another one on wednesday. let me tell you about it. here's your temperatures waking up this morning. nobody incredibly cold out there. it's march. we're going to stop seeing the incredibly kol temperatures and for the most part, especially across the south, we have a beautiful day in store. temps are cooler but we'll see

plenty of sunshine. howt across the west we've had the moisture come in. this storm is injecting into the mountain west and becomes a big storm for the next couple of days. this is future radar. watch what happens throughout the day today. a few showers across parts of texas but tomorrow this gets going here across parts of the mississippi valley, don't need any more noise chur ther moistu. we're going to get it. i don't think it's as strong as the last one but we're watching another storm. this one is trending a little cooler so we could see some snow across parts of the coastal areas in the northeast. there you go, guys. still winter. >> still winter. thanks, rick all right. well remember the ice raids that the oklahoma mayor warned about? well now we -- did i say oklahoma? >> no. >> it does have a mayor. of course oakland has a mayor. we told you about it. now we know most of the illegal

because it's tough on grease yet gentle. i am home, i am home, i am home when it comes to strong bones, are you on the right path? we have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, so with our doctors we chose prolia® to help make our bones stronger. 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.

thousands spend friday in charlotte to honor billy graham. >> but if you weren't watching fox news, you might have missed it. cnn covered the ceremony for two minutes. >> that means if you weren't watching fox, you did miss it. is this coverage reflective of america losing the faith or should we be more hopeful. joining us now, fox news religion contributor father.

>> my pleasure. >> fox news did right by it by broadcasting it. other networks did not. what do you make of -- he seems like he worked on presidents 0 on both sides of the aisle and worked hard to stay focused on the gospel and not politics. why so little coverage? >> i don't know for sure and i never want to impugn somebody's intentions. but one thing i think i have noticed of the commentary of billy graham on other channels, just generally mainstream. especially when politicians are asked about him, they don't know what to say. wh when you ask why was billy graham such a huge figure in our culture. it wasn't because he was a great consultant to presidents. yes, he did do that. but why was he consulting presidents, because he was known as a person who affected millions of people's lives in something very specific web and that is the preach of the gospel of jesus christ, jesus was born,

that he lived, that he died, that he's our savior and dedeemer. that's very uncomfortable for a lot of people to talk about. and so when you hear these politicians or other news channels, they say well, billy graham was very, a very important man. and that's about it. >> and he did things -- when i was talking with franklin graham, covering it for fox down there he said one of the things that upsets me is people don't recognize what my father did in the "50s when he was doing revival. they would put up a rope for black on one side and white on the ore and billy graham said you take that down. and in with one case they wouldn't he went and physically took it down and said everyone is welcome hea here to hear the message of jesus christ. >> maybe if some of the other channels would have went deeper into it to talk about those issues, it would have been interesting. he did something amazing for the united states, he encouraged

catholics and main line protestants and evangelicals to come together. we hent and met john paul ii in '81. he said john paul ii called me a brother. that was a big deal and he got a lot of pushback from his southern baptist colleagues. so he was an amazing man. but he, above all, preached the gospel of jesus christ. that jesus wasn't just a good guy, that he came as a messiah and lord and savior and redeemer. that's hard to talk about for a lot of people. >> we've run out of time. i'm going to have you come back because we need to go over this poll because catholics are talking about climate change is a bigger problem than christian persecution in the world. >> thanks. do you remember this guy from the campaign trail, a lifelong demeanor and forklift driver who never voted republican until president trump. >> we lost our steel mills in 1977. i've been waiting and we've been

promised, it's coming down the line, something is coming down the pipe for you. the democrats have done nothing for us. >> he says the president standing up for steel is exactly why he voted for him. he joins us live next. plus, eric carter and anthony scaramucci here live coming up. hi, i'm bob harper, and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta.

he's a guest i first met on the campaign trail. that's my gopro in the shot there. a forklift driver who never voted for a republican until president trump. more democrats here. but when you look at what they stand for and what they promote and what they want, it's nothing like i was raised. and i couldn't do it anymore. >> we get a lot of empty promises. donald trump said he's going to work on the trade deal one at a time. that makes sense. because we're in deals now where it's killing us. >> well now he's sounding off on the new tariff deal saying news like this is exactly why the president got his vote. joining us now, that forklift driver and trump democrat geo. great to see you. good morning. >> how are you? i just have to clear it up. i switched parties in the primaries to vote for president

trump. i'm now a republican. i was a democrat for 54 years. >> 54 years. you changed because of some of the things a that president trump was saying and now president trump is taking heat from the left and the right for announcing possible tariff deals, 25% on steel, 10% on aluminum. what do you make of this in. >> well i make of it, it's exactly what he said he was going to do. you know the story where our mill closed in 1977. since then everybody has been promising us, well, we'll do what we can. there's not much we can do. we can't fix this. the world is beating at our door, you know. and every time i go in the steel plant they would have a stabbed up for steel sign. you know, stand up for the steel jobs. and i watched these plants fall away and close and everything else. and these guys are saying i don't understand. we have the technology, the people. we invented the technology to make this stuff and they're taking it off of us. >> let me ask you, you're still

talking to the guys that work on the steel mills. what are they saying? what are you hearing about this whole situation? >> many of them are staunch union guys and they say that they love president trump. you know, if he can make it a level playing feelz, they're willing to fight with anybody. it's like getting in a ring where the government is the referee. on one side you got to american worker. on the other corner you've got the foreign worker. the bell rings and the government lets them bring four guys in with baseball bats. that's not a fair playing field. being from youngstown we grab the biggest guy and start with him. but let's make it fair and e quick tabl. and equitable. >> some republicans like scott walker saying this is a bad deal. do you think he may be hissing the viewpoints of some of the guys like you?

>> he's missing the viewpoints. they missed -- many of them missed it on the tax cuts. many of them missed it on him cutting regulations. i just seems whatever president trump touches turns to, not gold, but it turns well. the guy knows what he's doing. i've got a billionaire businessman working for me and i don't pay him nothing. i want him to make decisions he's not a politician. >> but he's your president and you're going to vote for him in 2020 i suppose. >> i can't wait. >> listen, thank you so much for being here this morning and we'll talk to you soon. >> thanks my friend. coming up next, sara carter and the much. don't get out of bed.

deficit because of our quote stupid trade deals. frightening images that the florida shooter may have attempted to shoot out a window and kill even more people. all american reject. that was my nickname. >> look who's not a reject here. rachel campos 48 hours to get here. canceled and canceled. when did you get in last night? >> i got in yesterday morning. i got a really earl early fligh.

cars. >> lauren blanchard is live with more. >> good morning. president trump took a few light hearted jabs at his own white house last night joking it had been another calm week saying i like chaos. it really is good. who is going to be the next to leave. steve miller or melania? the president also joked about his vice president and son-in-law jared kushner and said it was the most fun he had had with the press since seeing their faces on election night. but he also made some serious comments about north korea saying, i won't rule out direct talks with kim jong-un, i won't. as far as the risk of dealing with a man man is concerned, that is his problem, not mine. and hours before the gridiron dinner he threatened to increase import taxes on cars from the european union. if those leaders trying to retaliate against the u.s. for the new tariffs the president announced on steel and aluminum imports. the president tweeting, if the eu wants to further increase their already massive tariffs

and barriers on u.s. companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars which freely pour into the u.s. the president calling it a big trade imbalance. the european commission president threatened to impose retaliatory tariffs on politically sensitive products like harley davidson, bourbon. the president said trade wars are good and easy to win. >> i'm just glad that's how we're viewed, hairly davidson, and alcohol. if you want to ban something from america. >> bourbon, mitch mcconnell, harley davidson, paul ryan, they are very strategic, i think. >> well, a lot of that talk was about trade and tariffs. one of those countries which is a target of this administration is china. well the president was talking about china yesterday afternoon, saturday afternoon at a fundraiser in mar-a-lago before he went to washington, d.c.

and later in the day there was some audio leaked and this is a free flowing nonteleprompter private fun raising event he held at mar-a-lago amongst friends. cnn leaked audio from that and the president made comments about xi jinping. the president of china. take a listen. >> xi is a great gentleman. he's now president-elect. president-elect. i think it's great. >> was that a laugh track? no, that was real laughter because it was a light hearted comment to a fundraiser. >> no press conch. this wasn't cnn's audio. this is like we had with mitt romney on the campaign trail, you remember, a secret recording, if you will, that was leaninged. leaked. it's interesting that we should

hear a little bit more on where this came from. >> here's how the media is reacting to this joke. here it is. this is the language of a tyrant and an un-american to the core. we are not ruled by a dictator. matt ortega, right? former hillary clinton staffer, i've not heard of of him and you haven't either. this from sara side ner, a cnn correspondent, she wrote, important note, our constitution does not allow this. thank tbu fo you for the class. the audio leaked first by brian stelter, the hall monitor at cnn. they've got an agenda they want to push, and it's this guy is a dictator. the president could also be making a point that china has done a great job reviving. they've got a vision, goal, pride, they put china first. he looke looks at this, this isa leader, like him or not, not a

free country. i don't like that, you don't like that. but he's in power for life and they have goals and we better be serious about that as whelp it's a joke and they go nuts. >> they've been pushing this trump is a dictator narrative actually before he was inaugurated. to me i find it really ironic. here is a president who his entire agenda is about decentralizing the government, giving power back to the people. making sure the citizens have their own guns. >> and money. >> and remember, it was just last week that xi jinping said you should be more like us, our citizens have no guns and we have no incidents of school shootings. the press said nothing about that. they agree with xi jinping in talking away the guns. if you're a dictator, that's what you do. if you're not a dictator like trump, that's what you do. >> this has gotten eric holder

hot and bothed. >loatherred.>> haven't heard fra while. >> we'll explain why this is coming out. >> between he and jeff sessions, i had a president i did not have to protect. this notion that somehow i was protecting obama from things he had done inappropriately or illegally is simply not true. >> again a vailed swap, not so veiled swap at the president and jeff sessions. he was described wanting someone who would protect him and be loyal. you look at eric holder, president obama said there were no scandals, nothing to see during his time in office and this is an extent of that. >> this is an attorney general held in contempt. they seem to forget about that scandal as well. look, it's easy to say that you don't have any scandals when you have a media that's completely compliant and in love with you. >> with that up on the screen, he also refused to appoint a

special counsel for leaks and no republican-led investigation during president obama's presidency. now we're learning more in the memo and all of these other things. and of course whether or not there was spying on carter page. >> right. >> it could be that we are seeing eric holder trying to get a little bit out in front of what could be some damaging involvement with his name attached to it coming down the pipe. that's a little speculation but it certainly places him in the center of some of the things that we've been talking about. we talked with matt gates earlier in the show. >> not just damaging. >> get ahead of it trying so say we didn't do anything wrong. >> this could be the biggest political scandal in recent memory. i mean if you have one administration using the powers of government, weaponizing government to spy on the other campaign, that's huge and that would have happened under the obama administration. >> that's exactly right.

as their lap dog media tries to discredit the trump administration every turn, former obama officials are trying to hold up obama as the paitheparagone of virtue. the guy who did everything right, had no scandals. and yet here we are 12 months into the trump presidency, and not a shred of collusion to be found in what he's called a witch hunt from the beginning. he's talked about wiretapping from the beginning. all of those things have actually come out. just a lot of covering of tracks here. >> absolutely. and fas nightin fascinating thal numbers are higher than they were for pram at this point. imagine if president obama had received the kind of treatment that president trump has received. it's really -- it's actually remarkable where the president's numbers are considering what ha. >> 49% in the tracking poll at this point in presidency is a

testament of him sticking to his campaign promises. passing things like tax cuts. thank you. i'm going to shut up. results. that's a way better way to put it. >> results. all right. we're going to get to these add lyons and we're going to start with the extreme weather. a dramatic rescue in the sierra mountains after an avalanche. two others found dead. and the nor'easter death toll climbing to nine leaving hundreds of thousands of people still in the dark. this large tree striking a maryland home killing a 77-year-old woman. fire crews rescuing this trapped horse in massachusetts where the governor is declaring a state of emergency. florida lawmaker lawmakers g and then rejecting the bill of banning ar-15s. the rare weekend session held in the wake of the february 14th

welcome back. remember the i.c.e. raids that the oakland mayor warned about. he said i heard these raids are coming and you need to be aware

of it. this is a public service thing. we now know that violent criminals, very felons were among those caught in the raid. they went on with the i.c.e. raids any way. here's some facts about the i.c.e. raids that happened after the oakland mayor alerted anyone to the fact they were happening. 232 arrests, 180 of those convicted criminals or issued a final order of removing. the big number 115 previously convicted felons. so the mayor is not just letting nice law abiding folks to be careful, she cease saying they're coming for you get out if you adopt want to get arrested. >> president trump said he's going to prioritize felons, violent criminals. that's what was happening in this raid. this mayor went on to say she did this because people should live without fear. i would argue that a lot of people living in those

communities, there's a lot of illegal immigrants that would like to have the violent criminals, they said the people arrested had cruelty towards children, indecent exposure, domestic violence, sex offenses. why would anyone want these people in our community. why is she protecting them? >> yeah. >> just to point out, we've had long discussions about sanctuary cities in this country, the department of ju justice saying they might penalize sanctuary cities. but what you have now is a mayor standing on the street corner yelling 5-0 when we're trying to remove criminals. this mayor is opening herself up to possible charges for obstructing justice in the sense of an ongoing sweep. >> there's no doubt. >> it is rule of law that she's now standing in front of by yelling police arement coming, get out of here. >> she's trying to play a technicality that she found out a different way so it's not technically obstruction of justice. of course it is.

she told the bad guys that the cops are coming for you. the i.c.e. director said there were roughly 800 illegal immigrants they were unable to locate. you mentioned illegals and those that are law abiding. how about the citizens, the legal people in those communities 0 who are terrorized that we don't prioritize and don't go after. i don't know what the process is to recall a mayor. >> this mayor has said listen, i'm willing to go to jail and she's standing on or principle for it. but the department of justice has said that they are looking at charges against her. so whether it's a recall as you say locally, but if she gets prosecuted. >> and again i know you want to prioritize citizens. i get that. but she's doing this to help the illegal immigrant population. she's conflating them with violent criminals which i don't think they would appreciate. and in the end the president said he may pull i.c.e. out of

california and i think he should do it. >> well we'll keep our eye on that as it develops. next story, nfl players think it's the right time to kneel as you remember is during the national anthem. one congressman is showing them when it's appropriate to take a knee. plus, would you buy what this ad is selling? meet the veteran behind this pie tree yotic commercial taking the internet by storm. i swear if we don't play it all the way through this time, i'm going to go nuts. ♪ ♪ if these packs have the same number of bladder leak pads, i bet you think bigger is better. actually, it's bulkier.

we have to get a lot tougher than we are. and we have to stop drugs from pouring across our border. >> we want securing the border and a wall, ending chain migration and canceling the visa

lottery. we're calling on congress to build a great border wall to stop dangerous drugs and criminals from pouring into our country. >> that is prurp on border security in just the last month. of course an issue he made front and center during his candidacy as well. it turns out immigration and border security are top issues for voters in 2018. and investigations on russia and collusion, well, dead last. that's according to a new usa today suffolk poll. immigration and border security, guns and second amendment, jobs and economy way down there in the fine pript, so-called russian meddling. if you listen to the mainstream media, all we're going to hear about is russia. here to talk about our panel of ra talk show hosts, kathie barnett, rick unger and kevin mccullough. let me start with you. does that number surprise you,

immigration on top of the list? >> no. no one cares about russia except democrats and russians. the rest of the americans, there is so much more. real issues. those particular issues are real issues that americans are contending with. they sit around their kitchen table trying to figure out how to make ends meet. and fortunately republicans are leading the way on all of these issues. but where are democrats? they're nowhere to be found. not one of them came to the table to vote for the tax cuts. not one of them will even meet with the president to discuss daca, even though he gave them every single thing they asked for and more. so where are they? where are they, michael. they have a different view of border security and immigration, the republicans do. on immigration specifically, is this an issue that cuts well for republicans in the midterm in. >> i think so because of the fact that, you know, where is our money going to. we can't even agree on border security, then what is actually

happening here. you look at the russian thing, nobody cares. it's been a year. the narrative has changed so much whether it's collusion or conspiracy, financial ties that happened before trump was running. i think the arch america averagn does not care. it's being our kids being safe at school, not russia or vladimir peut. narrator: rick, have democrats taken their eyes off of the kitchen table issues and been distracted by a russian narrative in the last nine months ? disblirt's true that immigration and border security was the number one response but it was 120 out of 1,000 people. which means that 880 people had other issues. on the russia thing, i absolutely agree with you. the media is too focused on it but don't think they've forgotten about it. they're just saying let me know when the special counsel comes back with some results. until then i got other things to worry about. it's not that they don't care. >> kevin, when president trump ran on immigration, he cut

against republican orthodox. is this validation that the president's message has cut through and it's become a really important issue? >> i'll tell you one of the reasons why the poll says it is. if you do the deep dive, 66% of the respondents in the poll were moderate to very labor rale. only 28% of those polled were in some sort of conservative category. you've got a majority liberal poll that is polling immigration, taxes and second amendment, that's a republican year. >> absolutely. >> would your prediction be that 2018 is going to be better for republicans? >> it's going to be race by race, region by region. nobody can take anything for granted. but that poll tends to say that trump's view and his agenda is the one that people are tuned in to. >> if you read the rest of the poll, it's exactly the opposite in that poll. that poll makes it very clear that as we're sitting here right now, it very much favors the democrats. i don't know if that will hold up but that is what that poll is about.

>> to this point, it proves that different people can look at numbers which happened in election day. but the sense among voters at the ground level, where do you think it is? >> if democrats think they're going to win on russia then good luck and you won't wib again. because nobody cares. >> i mean really, is the democratic party offering the american people what russia identity politics and trying to get illegals to vote for them by any means necessary, giving more right tots illegals than they do to american citizens. i mean honestly if we can go beyond the resistance of president trump, what really is the democratic party offering? >> that's an honest question, rick. she characterized it very well. >> i agree with guns. if the democrats think they're going to win on russia, they're not going to win on russia. but if i were the republicans, if i were the president, i would not be happy with the results of what that poll shows. >> what are they running on?

you didn't answer the question. >> we just had this conversation in the green room. the democrats have yet to find a message. something i complain about. >> why are people confident? >> a message should reflect core priorities bha. what are the core priorities. >> the democratic party has come to the table with nothing to sink their teeth into. they've tried to exploit the gun issue and the tax issue. the opposite continue to happen. some 386 gun laws have been passed in the country over the last three years. only one of them passed in congress and it was to loosen gun law restrictions you're talking about the democratic party and where their brand is at right now is completely different than the american people. and trump has his pulse on where the people are at. >> i can tem you what the message should be. we should be running on income and equality. money is not getting to the

>> speaking of no spring chicken. >> no, rick. >> it's kind of true. let's be honest. the storm is mostly gone. still breezy today but that's it. the tide cycles are going to come down a little bit so the beach erosion conditions are improving. we have another storm to talk about. we have one storm that's moving towards parts of the northern plains and where you have see the red, that is a blizzard warning. much of south dakota and parts of north dakota as well. and anywhere north of norfolk, nebraska that's where we've got blizzard warnings going on. windy with the snow tonight into tomorrow. here's your forecast for today. today across the ohio valley and towards the northeast, mid atlantic, we've looking good. few snow flurries across the mid atlantic. tons of sunshine, temperatures feeling like spring and not summer. that's good. get your preparations in today before the snow moves in later on tonight and tomorrow.

back to you inside. >> 81 in corpus christi. that's where i want to be. >> sunny in florida. all right. we're just days away from very important elections in two key states and the results could have a big impact on the midterms. scott rasmussen is here to break it down next. politics likely to take, i'm sure it will -- i guess i'm sure it will is the same as likely. going to take center stage at the oscars tonight. we're going to tell you that. are they going to be watching? we'll find out and ask ne them t they anticipate. come on dad! higher! higher! parents aren't perfect, but then they make us kraft mac & cheese and everything's good again.

afi sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both...

...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. 15 minutes until the top of the hour. couple of quick headlines for you. recreating a historic demonstration. in a few hours thousands will be

reenacting the bloody sunday march across the bridge in selma, alabama. in 1965 you'll remember marchers demanded voting rights for african-americans. that assault helped build the momentum that led to the voting rights act. and italians are now at the polls as a new age tough on immigration populous they make a push for leadership. recent polling however suggests the election could result in a hung parliament where no party holds and wins a clear majority creating a power struggle between the three contending groups as they attempt to form coalition government. voters in texas and pennsylvania are preparing to cast their ballots in two very important elections. so what can we expect and what will these election results possibly tell us about november. here to break it down, senior fellow at kings college, scott rasmussen wh happens to be the smartest guy when it comes to

politics. >> why do i keep coming back. talk to me like that, i'm always back. >> take me to the map. >> on tuesday, texas primaries for three dozen congressional seats, governors and all kinds of state legislative battles. a week later a special election up in pennsylvania in the pittsburgh area. >> so in texas we've got one senate seat, 36 house seats and the entire legislature. >> that's right. and statewide officials as well. you know, look, there's a lot of interesting stories, if you live in texas. when you look at it nationally, the first big question is turnout. the democrats are excited because their early turnout, the early voting turnout is double what it was four years ago. republicans were up just a little bit. that is a sign of enthusiasm. but early turnout is only one part of the story. republicans are typically more likely to turn out on election day. we're going to see from this election how excited the democratic base is and where they're going and if the

republicans can match it. >> you say how far left they'll go. presiden.>> also look. the energy for the democrat dems coming from the left wing of the party. there's a lot of battles. texas 7, laura moser, a progressive candidate attacked by the national party because they don't want her to get the nomination, texas 7 is a competitive race. >> take me to pennsylvania. >> in pennsylvania a lot of talk about the special election. this is trump territory. president trump won this district by 20 points. we've heard this story before. we heard it in georgia 6, we've heard it lots of other places. if the president's support doesn't hold, could the democrats pick up a seat. if they do, that's a really big story. and the republican candidate has not thrilled a lot of his national supporters. he hasn't raised much money. republican groups have had to step in in a big way. >> and i know you're not making predictions, but as we try to read the tea leaves, take me to

what we can look ahead to in the midterms. >> the first thing we're going to look ahead to, we're learning information from these races because the polls and special elections are difficult to read. this gives us real information on the ground. if the democrats win the special election in pennsylvania, all of this the talk of a blue wave could very well happen. if the republicans win that special race and by the way, if the democrats go too far to the left in texas, well then we're back to saying control of the house, 50/50. >> all right. scoscott rasmussen, the electios on. tune in. we'll find out. thank you for coming on. it's fantastic. all right. still ahead, the much, anthony scaramucci, sara carter and country muser scar is here. plus the people behind tonight's oscars say they want to focus on the films. can jimmy kimmel and politics really be kept out of the

spotlight? i don't know. we're checking in with those gals right there and i bet they got something to say. stay tuned.

protests planned on the red carpet to jimmy kimmel hosts again. tonight's academy awards are shaping up to be politically charged. >> but the people behind the oscar's production wants to focus on the films and not politics. >> so will they be watching tonight. they join us to let us know. all right, ladies. i don't think i'll be watching but i want to know -- no one cares about me. are you going to be watching

tonight? >> yes. i think it's important that e with watch. >> that's right. >> all eight of our eyes. because if anyone comes for president trump we will be coming for them. but you know what? i think what jimmy kimmel should be talking about tonight is the inequality and the bulliness that's happening in hollywood, these black producers that have black oscar award winning actress because she wouldn't work for free. talk about the conservative voices pro-life, progun, one nation under god how they're blacklisted. they need to talk about what's going on in hollywood. don't preach to us about what we should vote for. yes we'll be watching. >> liberals have no problems at these shows giving their political opinion. you never see the quiet closet conservatives in the room. here he's what here's what i ha. early you said hollywood should

not focus on trump, they should deal with their own problems in hollywood. you say they should clean up their act. what do you mean by that? >> there's a lot of perversion going on, a lot of people being discriminated against in hollywood. we have a black oscar award winning actress that has been black balled by three black producers that nobody is talking about. and i heard the other day, it has been alleged that oprah said she was the light. it looks like hollywood's time is up. >> all the way up. >> are you going to watch the red carpet as well and if so do you also have a problem with ryan seacrest who is going to be talking to all of the stars and of course a lot of the stars there speak it on the me too movement. ryan seacrest has his own possible me too problem. >> if he has his own problem, maybe she shouldn't be talking. this is the hypocrisy, that the left, this is what they show.

they can do anything they want to do and it's hush hush. as soon as it e on the conservative side, it's a problem. hollywood has their problems. they need to solve their observe problems and not preach to us the american people, baby. we voted for the president and we don't want them to politicize this year. they need to stick to the script. we pay them to entertain. entertain us. >> well the ratings have been -- to your point, if politics isn't working, the ratings are as bad as they've been in nine years. diamond and silk will be watching so we don't have to. >> that's right. we got you covered. >> thank you very much lady ps. >> always fun. anthony scaramucci says he's banned from the white house and there are reports that general john kelly is behind it. we'll get the real story when he joins us live. plus, look who is in imrowr green room, country star craig morgan and his daughter opening up like never before in a new

reality star. you want to see this.

>> the president gave a speech at mar-a-lago to a fundraising group there. cnn obtained audio of what the president said at that speech. >> is now president for life. may want to give that a shot sa. >> and they react with predictable headlines like this. trump praises chinese president extending tenure for life. 13 house republicans now calling on attorney general sessions to appoint a second special counsel counsel. >> we cannot have the people currently at the the department of justice and f.b.i. investigate themselves. >> frightening new images suggest a florida school shooter may have tried to shoot out of a window, attempting to kill even more people. a lifelong democrat and forklift driver who never voted republican until president trump trump. the president standing up for

steel is exactly why he voted for him. it's exactly what he said he was going to do. they love president trump. you know, if he could make it a level playing field, they're ready to fight with anybody. >> think about the clouds, it just got very real. ♪ i'm back, back in the new york groove pete: did you notice who that was jumping out of the airplane there? rachel: that was jillian and ro. pete: jillian and rob, host of "fox & friends" first jumping with the golden knights. you said -- rachel: i said you could not pay me enough money to do that. and i mean it. i mean 2. pete: we're going to have them on later on the program because they did that jump. i had the pleasure of doing it last year. it's a ton of fun. i mean, the army has the golden

knights parachutes crew. i tried to make it look cool. i did it twice. griff: i did that once for fun, not for a story, and as we're getting out of the airplane, a guy said, why are we jumping out of a perfectly good airplane? i said, what? he said, "here we go!" pete: rob and jill ran are going to talk about. rachel: president trump is waking up this morning after laying down the laughs at the gridiron dinner, even taking aim at himself. griff: one of those jokes now has the media in a frenzy. pete: of course loren blanchard is live in washington to explain explain. good morning. >> good morning. it was a night for the president to take a few jabs at himself and the press, joking it had been another calm week and it was the most fun he'd had with the media since seeing their faces on election night. but he also made serious comments about north korea saying "i won't rule out direct talks with kim jong-un.

i just won't. as far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned, that's his problem, not mine." the president also got some laughs for poking fun at recent departures in his administration saying "i like chaos. it really is good. who's going to be the next to leave, steve miller or melania?" but friday night one speech to republican donors at his estate in florida is raising some eyebrows. while the speech was supposed to be closed door, cnn obtained a recording in which president trump said he thought the chinese president's recent move to potentially eliminate term limits was great, comments not everyone saw as a joke. pete: president xi is great, he's a great gentleman. he's now president for life. president for life. lebanon, he was able to do it. i think it's great. may want to give that i shot someday. >> some have said the comments

set a dangerous precedent. others say the media just can't take a joe. griff, pete, rachel? griff: thank you. pete: you know, everybody take a collective deep breath and laugh with the folks in the audience. because sometimes presidents make jokes. rachel: they do, especially when they're in front of their donors and especially when you have a president who came out of reality tv and entertainment, and that's pretty much was his rally is for, he makes jokes, and he apologizes never. griff: but yet the media immediately took it as a front that the president was going to change the twenty-second amendment to the constitution which, by the way, would have to have congress to ratify, but no, they took it seriously. pete: of course. griff: by the way, we don't know where this recording came from. i want to know -- pete: i got an update -- we don't know that person that was there but bryant stealth the hallway monitor at cnn said it was actually kevin liptack was the reporter at cnn. whoever it was at cnn doesn't

matter. cnn gleefully trying to reinforce their trump hate. rachel: and they are narrative that the president is a dictator they've been doing this since before he was even inaugurated which i find perfectly ironic because dictators don't try to make sure you have your own guns dictators don't give power back to the people and decentralize and deregulate the government. these are things dictators do that, frankly, liberals like. pete: all the headlines, griff, you talk about all the click bait, it makes you roll your eyes when you see it time and time again. we had an interesting source reinforce that last night. bill maher, a guy we don't normally play a whole lot of sound of on this program hit the nail on the end talking about the news cycle. here's bill maher. >> not hard to find three people who are mad at anything. i could say "good morning" on twitter and three people would object. "good in your privileged world, bill maher." no wonder fake news resonates so much with trump fans, 'cause so

much of it is fake. just nonsense made to keep you perpetually offended with an endless stream of controversies that aren't controversial and outrageous that aren't outrageous. because places like the huffington post and buzzfeed and salon, they make their money about how many clicks they get. yes, the people who see themselves as morally superior are actually ignoring their sacred job of informing citizens of what's important and instead sowing division for their own selfishness ends. hey, wait. isn't that what russia was doing to us? pete: nicely done, sir. rachel: nicely done. first of all, apologizes for bill maher this early in the morning. he's insufferable, but he's got a good point, and remember, it was the media, i mean, it wasn't like blogs yikes huffington post or buzzfeed but the mainstream media covering for two weeks that donald trump was not mentally stable and then of course once we saw the open to the camera meetings that he had

on immigration, suddenly that story went away. this is the kind of fake stuff, fake news that drives people crazy and keeps getting the media to lose their credibil.ty pete: great quote from bill maher to your point, "perpetual "perpetually offended with endless dream of" -- their dream is resistance. the cold open at saturday night live last night, had cnn calling the channel impeachment important. their dream is to undermine this president. and bill maher exceedingly liberal, excruciatingly liberal, many times in his career has actually given that grain of truth poking back at liberals and saying you've gone way to far. griff: striking a chord with your viewers. here's what you're saying about this. florence says: right on point, bill. i don't want you to run. i want you to keep the world laughing and rethinking the norm but we do know a politician who thinks outside the box, as we used to say and aren't afraid to voice up." >>this is from melanie: "bill

actually got this right." >>i think the emphasis is on " "actually." kudos, bill maher, well done. appreciate it. talk about click bait, talk about left-wing viewpoints, this story caught our eye as well, and i think the huffington post was mentioned by bill maher. if not, it could have been. they had a story highlighting -- it's women's history month. this story is highlighting 15 current current women trailblazers in this month. there's a list of them. you might recognize some of them them. the president calls the one on the far lend pocahontas. you've got kirsten gillibrand, nancy pelosi, all the leader of both planned parenthood and black lives matter. there's only one group of people i didn't see in that list. rachel: there's no republicans, i'm sure. no conservatives, nothing. we had candice owens, she's the director of urban engagement for turning point, and she had this to say about this double standard. >> it's just leftist propaganda that can be ignored. but what italy was so interesting is they have the

president -- what i thought was so interesting was they have the president of planned parenthood as well as the cofounders of black lives matter. how is that possible? if a black life mattered, right, we would be talking about the fact that there are 900 black babies that are aborted every single day, over 19 million black babies aborted since 1973. so this list doesn't make any list whatsoever. pete: the powerful conservative women that you cover in washington, d.c, that are doing big things in this country right now. why their omissions? griff: you know, it's a fair point, and certainly, you know, republican elected women are reticent in many cases to sort of make an issue of it, but you have had countless women in washington that have made tremendous strides and now this list is really the omission is the crime here. rachel: i want to tell you somebody who's not on the list that really makes me mad and that is sarah sarah sarah because she's not only got a very high pressure job, she actually talks -- i think she's changing culture by doing this.

when she gets up at that podium she will often talk about the chaos at her house with her kids before she comes to the job. those kinds of moments we've never seen before because so often employers love the intelligence of working moms, they love that they multitask, but they want them to keep their mommy problems at home and hidden, and this is a woman who puts it right up and center, gets zero credit for it. ronna romney is another one, the same thing, she's completely altered the way that job is done done. remember her job as r.n.c. director is a d.c.-based job that she said, you know what? no. i'm going to make this a traveling job so it works for me as a working mom. if you want me as an intelligence hardworking woman you've got to work around my schedule. that's changing lives for women because those are high profile positions. what the heck is the woman from -- who's the leader of planned parenthood that they have on that list? she hasn't done anything except

as candice said, actually hurt girls and women literally killing. griff: what about hope hicks? she propelled -- pete: help out the huffington post this morning, email, friends@foxnews.com. powerful influential women in the media, politics, culture, that they should have included. maybe we'll compile our own list of 15. rachel: we actually should. we should. send us your list, let's have a list by the end of this show because there are plenty of conservative women who deserve to be on that list. pete: the producers are saying, what are we going to do by the end of the show? rachel: headlines now starting with extreme weather. unbelievable photos from california's sierra mountains, avalanche where six feet of snow fell in four hours. a nor'easter leaving hundreds of people in the dark. this large tree striking a maryland homekilling a 77

77-year-old woman. fire crews rescuing this trapped horse in massachusetts with the governor is declaring a state of emergency. one man is dead of an apparent suicide just outside the white house. saturday's incident along with the north lawn fence forcing a lockdown at the white house creating tense moments as the secret service investigated. the lock down was lifted a short time later. president trump was at mar-a-lago at the time of the shooting. overnight, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in flight to washington, d.c. president trump hosting him at the white house tomorrow to discuss iran's nuclear program among other pressing issues. the visit comes as netanyahu faces legal scrutiny for his alleged role in corruption investigations which he denies. and those are your headlines. griff: president trump fighting back against criticism over his proposed steel tariffs. so what did they mean for those in steel countries? pennsylvania congressman mike kelly represents them. he's next.

>> thank you thanks, rachel. special to hyde and sean back home watching. we really appreciate you. rachel: thank you. they better be watching, those kids. congressman, tell us what this means for your country, where you're from. >> everybody who has been in this office for years says i believe in free trade as long as it's fair trade, then they go back home and they get elected and we keep losing and we keep losing. the president has spoken very clearly when he was running for office what he was going to do. this is no surprise to any of us us. now, what does it mean to steel country which is right behind me me? aluminum we got alcoa here in pittsburgh. what does that mean to those thousands of steelworkers? it means that somebody in the white house is finally addressing their concerns. we know not all steel is made equally. it depends how you heat if and how you treat it. carbon steel where there's an overcapacity throughout the world has been gamed so badly and we're taken out of the market altogether, and when you lose that market share, it's not coming back the next time.

you lose it sometimes forever. we can't afford to lose those jobs. we can't afford to lose the ability to produce that product ourself because it has a great effect on national security. this is a president who stands for what is most important to america and that is our safety and security. he gets it. a lot of people don't. i'm really getting tired of hearing elitists what he doesn't understand. none of them have ever been in the private sector and had to make it on their own. griff: true, but congressman let me get you to address, you know, it's not just the elitists, it's also governors like scott walker in wisconsin that's warning of the economic impact this could potentially have. what do you say to them? >> the conversation, starting right now, the president started this conversation. nobody else has ever done it before in the white house, they kind of let it smooth over and hope it goes away. this is a president who goes at things directly and says listen, we got a problem, when we got an $800 billion deficit, that's a lot of jobs that we no longer have in our national security, so i think the president's doing the right thing and he's calling people in and saying, "i want to

hear what you have to say. i want to hear how it concerns you, and i want to hear about a very complicated issue how we can address it." i like guys like peter navarro who is there advising, and i think the conversation inside the white house with the administration is exactly the way people in the private sector address every single problem they have when it comes to losing market share. why are we losing, and when are we going to get it back, and when with regoing to wake up and smell the coffee and understand that this has a graduate effect on everyday working americans. rachel: congressman kelly, all eyes are on pennsylvania ahead of that special election. what can we expect? >> you know what, it's going to be really close from what i understand, rachel, but the one thing i want people to understand, and we've been talking about getting out the vote. right now the tax cuts and jobs bill would not be in effect if it wasn't for our majorities in the house and in the senate. we have to maintain those majorities. it was the republican party, as you know, that got this job done working very closely with our president and the administration administration. if we didn't have the tax cuts

and jobs bill, where would we be today? so this is an important election for everybody, not just those folks in that district but for the country. the republican majority -- and, look, since november 16th when the president was elected the skies have never been bluer, the winds have never been stronger at our back than behind this president and this administration to make america great again. but the only way you can make america great again is to have identical friends on the field. there are a lot of players on the other side for the life of me i cannot understand how they could not vote for the tax cut and jobs bill. this is incredible rocket fuel for our economy, and it all happened because of an election. this election coming is very important, rick siccone is a great candidate, great experience, he worked in our military in north korea. who would we want right now than a guy like rick siccone. the president and others have been backing him, we want to see rick win that seat. griff: congressman, we're running out of time, got to

we had people come up to us, a man who had known him for 15 minutes and said in that 15 minutes that boy changed my life life. that's unbelievable to hear, and to hear all those stories, you know, after we lost him, you know, -- and it's horrible. it's a horrible thing to deal with every day. and even now, still today, watching that footage, i see him in it, and it's real difficult sometimes to maintain our composure. but we know what he did, and as a family, we want to have that same impact. i hope that when i'm gone i have people come to my funeral and tell my family the same stories that we heard about jerry. pete: allie obviously your brother and part of that tragedy came a business that the family bonded around. talk a little bit about that. >> yeah. we've had bees for a long time, harvested honey. after we lost jerry dad started woodworking with my oldest brother, and reluctantly i admitted that they were pretty good pieces. so i thought, you know, let's try to make something of this, sell them on facebook with your fan base, and it became more of a business than we ever expected

and it really is a god thing, the building, this kind of worked out, hey, let's try this brick-and-mortar business, and it's become something i think we can all kind of latch on to. aside from our faith, like my dad said we're a very faithful, spiritual family and we cling to god in this situation. this is something we can all do together, it's tangible, we can hang onto it, and we can share it with the world. i think it's really cool we can all have this one thing in common even though we're all very different and have different talents. pete: we'll see all those differences, won't we? played out on camera. you've got this family business, plus you're a country superstar, craig, this reality show it's called morgan family strong," it's an opportunity for other people to learn through your process of losing jerry as well. >> absolutely. that's why we're doing it. like allie said about the building, -- >> the motto of our story is to be happy, h-a-p-i, "have a

positive impact." we want to use the store and the show to have a positive impact on those around us and i hope that's what people get out of i. pete: an amazing testament to family and faith and we all get to share it with you. i look forward to watching. morgan family strong is the name of the program. it airs thursday night at 9:30 p.m. on up tv. up next, anthony scaramucci says he's banned from the white house. there are reports chief of staff john kelly is behind it. the real behind the scenes story coming up next. dawn is serving up dinner for a whole town! that table was like... so big! can one bottle of new dawn clean all the dishes?

♪ >> any country that devalues their currency in order to take advantage of the united states and its workers will be met very very sharply. and that includes tariffs and taxes for their goods coming in to the country. pete: that was then candidate trump on the campaign trail. joining us now is anthony scaramucci, former white house communications director live and in person on set. >> i got my access through. i cleared security, so i'm doing pretty good right now. pete: we're going to get to you and clearance security in a second, but let's start with what the president talked about on the campaign trail, talked about bad trade deals, wondered whether he'd do that now in office, now he's announced we're going to take some on steel and

aluminum. some people are freaking out. other people like it. what do you make of it? >> well, i understand it. pete: you're a business guy, to. >> i understand it. i think the wall street community is nervous about it because they feel that it will create a trade war and that's bad for earnings and that's why the market sold off. but he's playing a much longer game. what he's looking at is 71 years of uneven trade deals since the end of the second world war. we put that in place, frankly, to help the rest of the world grow and create a middle class around the world, but it's had a deleterious effect on the american worker. we've lost 70,000 factories since nafta, things like that are what the president's really concerned about. so his agenda is really primarily for lower middle class families and middle class families. and so all he's really asking for is symmetry on these trade deals. so he's looking at tariffs on the eu, quotes on the eu, japan, et cetera with, saying okay, if you don't want to quota or steel don't want to quota or goods and

services, then we won't quota yours but if you're doing that to us now 71 years after the second world war, sort of not fair to the united states. so i think he's playing the long game and i think the market doesn't like long games, most of us don't, frankly, but i think it's a very decision because it will wake people up the same way he woke them up with nato. they were one and a half percent gdp, their contractually obtained to 2%. i think that's the president's genius and his push. i think it will work long term. rachel: we just had representative kelly on, from steel country. he said we like it here, another blue-collar leader. how does he sell them on it? >> so i think the message to wall street is, listen, i got to be patient. you have to understand the president's strategy is to increase aggregate demand in the united states. what do i mean by that? more purchasing power for the middle class and the lower middle class families is way better for you. there was a industrial community back in the early 1900s, teddy

roosevelt had to beat them up a little bit. he had to say "listen, you got to spread this oil change think out a little more. through market forces, you got to give more money to your workers, more to middle class families." they did that. henry ford said, "i'm going to let you make enough money in my affect to buy a car and live in a house and put your kids in a good public school." that's great for america, and that's really the message from the president. griff: so you're explaining this message, you should have been in the white house explaining it but now you can't even go visit. >> look, i'm on the naughty list for right now. i've had 54 years where i've not going to coal in my stocking. i'm pretty confident by christmas i should be able to finish this out. at the end of the day i'm a pretty honest guy and i'm telling the truth about a situation inside the white house and i know general kelly is trying to bring order to the white house but he's actually creating chaos because it's a civilian organization, so when you have a civilian organization you have to motivate and you have to run it very differently

than a rank-and-file command and control organization. so i think he's making a mistake doing that. and i also know that the morale is quite low inside the white house. so we can pretend that it isn't, there's a lot of people that will go unsourced i'm confident enough to go on the record. i'm a new york person. griff: is he going to accomplish the agenda, low morale -- >> i think it does. i'm very loyal to the president. i worked on the campaign for two years, gave hundreds of thousands of dollars personally to the campaign, i'm good friends with his family, and i think the sort of stuff probably not wise politically because we need to win midterms, we need to win the election in 2020 and we need a very wide, very open tent tent. so we have to fix the problem. and, by the way, i'm an american businessperson, so what you do in american business is you look at the problem, say, "here is the problem," but in washington people sort of get sore at that, i'm describing what the problem is, not trying to offend anybody anybody. you know, i just think it's a little silly -- rachel: some people say some of

these arguments should stay within the family and that what you're doing is -- >> that's not how it works in washington, rachel. rachel: right. but -- and i don't feel like you're giving enough credit to the general for having brought order. i mean, he really has. >> no, no, no, i don't dislike him. i have nothing personal against him. but you can bring order and shrink morale to the point where you're going to have a mass exodus or you can bring order where there's a process in place but there's an open tent and there's a community of people that you're engaging with. pete: does the process need to change or people need to change in your opinion? >> i think the culture needs to change. at the end of the day the civilian organization, the culture should be we've got a very wide open tent. he doesn't like me, obviously he fired me after ten days. i said this personally. i said some things that were inappropriate, i understand that i'm accountable for the firing, but then don't cover up people that are hitting their wives. it doesn't make sense to me, it's not a sensical thing to do

so he's sore at me for that, he's blocking my access to the white house, he didn't invite me to a 500 person session in davos davos. i introduced the president to klaus schwb last year. i'm a friend of the family. i'm a loyal guy. general kelly can do what he wants to me. here's the thing. i'm really not airing dirty laundry because if it's there already, rachel, let's call it out for what it is let's turn the light on in the kitchen and let's fix the problem together. this is not a personal thing for me . rachel: it's not because you were cut out, you're saying this is the culture? >> not at all. for six months i said nothing but great things about general kelly. i respect the fact that he fired me. he fired me like a gentleman. i've said that publicly. i shook his hand when i left and i wished him well and i still wish him well. jared and ivanka, they take a lot of guff. nobody wanted general kelly to succeed more than jared and ivanka, trust me. and, by the way, i want him to succeed. it's good for america. it's good for the president,

it's good for the country, it's good for the world. but if something's wrong in the system, i'm really not airing dirty laundry because we know that this is a public spotlight in that community, the white house. so what i'm really trying to do is lance the boil and so that we can fix the problem and we can be more inclusive and we can have a bigger tent. but if i'm on the naughty list -- rachel: no. i just asking questions. i find this all very -- >> i'm on the naughty list and i end up with coal in my stocking this year, it will be the first time in 54 years i get coal in my stocking. it's a little disappointing. griff: you jogged my brain here. we've talked a little bit about the great one, mark levin, saying that the attacks -- i don't know if you heard the comments or even if we have audio, but basically mark levin said on his radio show that enough is enough, these attacks on the trump family have become too personal and -- >> unprecedented historically the way the media goes at him. i have to tell you something. this is a great family.

these are great children. the president's been a great father. vice president pence said at the convention what beautiful lines. you can't fake good kids. this is a wonderful family, they've made an enormous sacrifice for the country. they have great love of country. and so i think we also have to be fair to them. remember, jared's security clearance got downgraded to secret. by the way, that's a very big security clearance. so there's really nothing wrong there. if there's some kind of nonsense activity that's slow rolling jared in an effort to eject him from the white house, why? okay, if the president wants him in the white house, leave him in the white house. by the way, if the president doesn't want him in the white house, that's his discretion. they wanted me in the white house for 11 days. don't say ten, griff, don't say ten. and when they didn't want me in the white house after that i'm totally cool with it, okay? because i love my country, i'm here to serve the country and make the problems go away and make the problems better. when they hit jared, i think it's very unfair pink it's unfair to the president, i think it's unfair to his family.

when they hit eric and don jr., i think it's very, very unfair. i'm tired of it, and i have no problem talking about it and rebutting the attack. rachel: we got to go. i think mark levin's right. as a political spouse i've never seen anything like this. i think i would either put my head in the ground or explode. i've never seen any family take this much abuse. pete: anthony scaramucci -- rachel: you're off the naughty list. >> i'm off your naughty list. this is probably the only way i can get into the white house is through the tv camera. griff: more fox & friends on the other side. alice is living with metastatic breast cancer,

♪ pete: welcome back. in the wake of the tragic shooting at a high school in parkland, florida, instead of blaming law enforcement failures many have blamed the nra. but do they deserve that blame? rachel: our next guest says no. in fact, he wrote a new op-ed,

and he says, quote, athe nra doesn't kill people. it saves lives. just ask my family. harry cazianes joins us now with his story. why don't we get right into that story. what happened to your family? >> well, rachel, i remember it all like it was yesterday almost almost. back in 1992, my father who operated a small family business in providence, rhode island, was robbed. my mother and i were on the phone with him having a general conversation, he worked third shift and i gentleman walked behind the counterand he joked to us, rachel, he said i think i'm about to be robbed, let me call you back. he approach the gentleman, the person pulled out a long knife and another person pulled the gun out of him, they robbed him, took all the money out of the cash register and this man with the nigh backed my father all the way into the grill, and my father thought he was going to die. after that they ran off.

my father started soul-searching what do i do, how do i protect myself, how do i protect my family and property? this was pre-nineties. pre-internet. he talked with people, members much law enforcement, and what he ended up deciding to do was to arm himself with a fireman, and it was members of the the nra, people who are instructors, who were trained by the nra, different members helped my father make that decision. nobody tried to indoctrinate us or push us in that decision but it was these folks who tried to restore some sense of security in our lives, and that was very powerful. we are not a bad people. pete: you're personalized an issue that a lot of people want to keep in the abstract whether it's about the constitution or the lobbying power of the nra yet in this debate we've seen students from parkland put on tv to talk about their emotional reaction. why don't we hear as many personal stories like yours, saying this is why my gun keeps

me and my family safe? pete:. >> pete, i think it's a one word answer perform a lot of people are simply afraid. i'll be honest with you. fox news has me come on to talk about north korea and china. this is an issue i never thought i'd be on tv talking about. when i see different commentators, let's face it they're paid to be controversial and say controversial things. when people call the nra members people like myself are equal to the kk or signs on billboards that we're terrorists or that we're murderers, we are not. what we're all about is to protect ourselves and to make sure that our families are protected. honestly, i never had any experiences with guns or the nra until my family was -- had this happen to us. rachel: last week we had a mother-daughter in a liquor store who protected themselves with a gun. thanks for sharing your story. pete: we're coming back with some teamwork at 12,000 feet. fox & friends first cohost

months. pete: it was a deadline but not really a deadline congress takes every reason not to do deadlines rachel: right. deadlines help things get done in washington so it's too bad that judge did that. pete: we'll see how it plays out well up next he was the number two man at the fbi. now, andrew andy mccabe is the number one target for leaking. sara carter here to weigh in on the new report, coming up next. >> ♪ yeah you can get a mortgage that avoids pmi, but there's no way to avoid mip on... . hey! this'll help. rocket mortgage by quicken loans makes the complex simple. so, origination fees... this takes care of it, thank you. understand the details and get approved in as few as 8 minutes. by america's largest mortgage lender. bounce back, right right right, i get it now. ♪ i woke up in beast mode, with my girl that's... ♪ we know that when you're >> tspending time with thelass grandkids... ♪ music

rachel: a damaging new report coming out is expected to take aim at former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. griff: mccabe reportedly signed off on leaks to the press involving the hillary clinton investigation. pete: so has the fbi lost all credibility at the top? here to weigh in fox news contributor and investigative reporter sara carter. sarah thanks for joining us. >> thank you. pete: so we're hearing that the doj, good morning, the doj inspector general is expected to

criticize mccabe on these leaks among other things. >> so what we know so far is that they're going to be looking at him for the leaks particularly the wall street journal report october 2016 and that he mislead the ig. that's what been out there so far, but i think that's only the tip of the iceberg. remember the inspector general has a very comprehensive report that he's been working on for more than a year so i expect a lot more and according to my sources there will be a lot more revealed in that report when it comes out in march. now, we're looking at around maybe another week or so, now it could go into april the first week of april but i don't expect it to go past that, and i also want to emphasize very clearly that this is only part of numerous reports, remember the inspector general now is also going to be investigating the abuse of the foreign intelligence surveillance court in the actions taken against carter page and those applications so i think these

investigations will expand. we'll see mccabe involved in it, they are definitely looking at former fbi director james comey that's another part of the puzzle and there were other people involved so this is the tip of the iceberg with mccabe. i think we'll see a lot more when this report comes out. griff: so sarah let me ask you also are we looking at a possibility of a special special counsel being appointed? >> now this is where it gets very complicated. according to sources of mine at the doj getting a second special counsel would require that the special counsel get investigator s from the fbi and they may be conflicted out. the fbi itself it would be like the fbi investigating the fbi, so their argument is let's do this investigation and then he can refer for criminal prosecution if laws were broken and right now, they're looking at the possibility of several laws being broken, so if that's the case it may take a little while longer or it may not, depending on how far his

investigators have gone right now but then they can refer for criminal prosecution if somebody actually violated the law. pete: so sarah, so many committees and investigations but effectively what you're saying is michael horowitz the inspector general at the department of justice the scope expanded so he's effectively able to investigate the investigators and he's looking at the clinton e-mail how that was handled and also looking at abuse at the fisa court and we should at different times we looking at different results from that inspector general? >> yeah, absolutely i mean the other thing that could happen is if they do call for a second special counsel, they can go outside of the fbi and go to the postmaster general and get investigators from there, from the postmaster general but remember, they have not been on this case the way michael horowitz has, and i know a lot of people are tentative what is michael horowitz going to say, he doesn't have a lot of power but he actually does. his perview is to oversee investigations at the fbi as well as the doj and at that point, if he does collect enough evidence to believe that there's been laws that have been broken

they violated federal law then he can refer that for criminal prosecution. griff: well that will be interesting because he has referral power but not prosecution power. rachel: i'm officially adding you to our list of awesome conservative women. pete: good addition. >> thank you rachel you're at the top of my list too. rachel: you're the best. okay thank you. pete: thank you. rachel: the fbi let hillary clinton off the hook but they jailed a navy sailor for sharing classified photos. now, that sailor could get a second chance at a pardon, and he joins us, next. pete: wow very cool plus senator jeff flake has no problem criticizing our current president, but even more interesting or actually not shocking, but kind of annoying, what we just found out about his friendly relationship with our last president whose on the right of that screen but not on the right politically that's barack obama.

griff: time for quick headlines for you north korea threatening its own mode of counteraction if the u.s. takes part in military exercises with south korea in april. state run media promising the rogue regime is "fully ready to fight in any kind of war the u.s. wants." tensions remaining high since president trump announced in february the heaviest sanctions yet. meanwhile, iran is ready to negotiate its ballistic missile program but only if the u.s. and european countries dismantle their nuclear programs according to state-run media all comes as president trump tries to persuade european countries to join him in reworking controversial iran nuclear deal.

pete? pete: thank you much, griff. well, it's a story president trump repeatedly used on the campaign trail to blast the " double standard" at the justice department. you'll remember this a former u.s. navy sailor was jailed for a year for taking photos of classified areas in a submarine back in 2009; however as you know hillary clinton did not receive the same fate when she mishandled classified information on a personal e-mail server while secretary of state. well, the department of justice is taking a new lodge at the sailor's request for a pardon and that sailor former navy machinist joins us now via sky. christian thank you very much for being here. we have heard of your story. its been talked about a lot. you took a few photos on a submarine first of all what was your intent of those and what has happened to you since you were prosecuted? >> well first of all thank you for having me on again. pete: of course. >> so my intent for taking those

photos was just as memorabilia to remember my time in service i was and still am extremely proud of what i did in the navy and a miss guided attempt to have something to remember it by when i was 21 i took pictures of where i worked to remember it later on. pete: and you got worried because someone found out you deleted them but you'd say okay i deleted them with no real intentions yet hillary clinton smashes blackberries with a hammer and she gets nothing. why do you think, why did you get a year in prison and probation and she got nothing? >> well obviously there's two different sets of laws in this country for the politically elite and lower level individuals americans like myself and i think that's very upsetting on a basic level for most people. it should be at least that a different standard of justice is applied and i think my case draws a very clear example of that because there was never a requirement for intent to cause national harm to prosecute me for that same crime they should

have prosecuted her. i simply mishandled classified information and i accepted responsibility and i didn't go to trial and i plead guilty and said i made a mistake when i was a young kid and my family still continues to be punished for that mistake, we're as hillary clinton not only wasn't punished but allowed t run for the highest office in this country and that should be very upsetting with the american people. pete: with still no accountability as well, so you served a year for taking those pictures you asked for, you're out now but you're asking for a pardon so that you can move on with your life. this is what the department of justice is saying about the process of a pardon. they're saying extremely lengthy often taking a year or more because both because of the number of matters pending before this office and the need to carefully examine and investigate applications and supporting documentation so the previous justice department had rejected your request for a presidential pardon. have you talked to the white house about this? have you made a direct appeal? what do you know about the status of this current pardon request? >> well, i mean, i've submitted some more questions or answers

to questions they had as per this new request. i've provided more documentation and hopefully it'll get processed hopefully it'll reach the president because honestly i don't leave the first one did. i think they short cycled him and didn't allow him a chance to review it. obviously president trump firmly believes that i was over punished he mentioned it numerous times before and after being elected and i think that president trump, he knows that in my heart, i understand i made a mistake and i accepted responsibility for it and i hope he'll give my family and i a chance to basically have a future because it's not pardon ing me isn't going to alleviate the punishment. i think i've been pretty severe ly punished i've lost all my life savings, vehicles are repossessed while i was in prison my family went through pretty dire times and still is and i spent a year in prison. i think what it'll do is give me a chance to start again and my family and i to basically crawl out of this hole that we're in

and have a future. pete: very well said, sir. i want to thank you for your service in the navy, for taking accountability and all you're asking for is a system that holds other people to the same account that you do and this morning you've got an opportunity to share that with our audience and we're going to continue to follow-up on the process of your pardon request frankly personally, man i sure hope it happens. thank you for your time appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you for having me on. pete: you got it well a new york times columnist says progressive s are on the verge of winning the culture war. is he right? well, our panel of radio show hosts is here to sound off. coming up next. and, there they are right there. they like each other they just didn't show it there and anthony scaramucci says he's banned from the white house. what's the real story? you're going to hear from he himself coming up.

i always tell them the thicker the enamel, the more white you're going to have. i would definitely recommend pronamel strong and bright to my patients. pronamel strong and bright toothpaste helps to actually strengthen the enamel. it's going to keep that enamel strong. it's going to keep it white. patients get what they're asking for. they want whiter teeth. they're going to get it with this. not only what dentists are looking for in a product, but what patients are looking for in a product. ♪ president trump: we must work together to create a culture of our country that cherishes life and forces real human connection s. >> in the name of 17 people, you can not ask the nra to keep their money out of your campaign >> i will support any law that will prevent a killer like this. >> no but i'm talking nra money. i don't know what their position is on teachers being armed but i don't think they should be.

>> i want you to know that we will support your two children in the way that you will not. >> i don't believe that this insane monster should have ever been able to obtain a firearm. rachel: a lot of back and forth lately over identity politics and the culture wars dividing america will just this week new york times columnist david brooks writing he thinks progressives are on the verge of winning the culture war, writing "progressives are getting better and more aggressive at silencing descenting behavior if they can cut what's left of the conservative movement off from mainstream society they will fundamentally alter the culture war progressives have won on most social issues they would win on nearly everything else" so is that true? back with us is our radio talk show host panel kathy barnette mike gunselman. >> it's the gun. rachel: so this is a really big question, because and by the way if you haven't seen the piece,

read the piece, what he's basically saying is that this discussion is not really about gun guns or school safety. it's about making the nra so unacceptable that people are almost embarrassed to be part of it so what do you say kevin? >> it's a really naive column from where i sit. i think that if you're going to try to change a culture wherefore got 1.7 guns for every person in the population and you're going to try to make them take the fall for school violence that there are multiple solutions for, i think you're barking up the wrong tree so if you think it's the gun issue that wins the culture war david brooks is out to lunch. >> this is article is an absolute joke and honestly it might appear that the culture is changing but actually i still think we're a 51-49 country for the most part the combination between like the media propping up issues or perhaps all this focus on hollywood, celebrities freaking out about everything that appears that in no return progressives but the reality is

no. rachel: rick i think these conservatives personally are you guys are naive. i think culture precedes politic s and if you can change culture you can eventually win the politics it's a long term game what do you say? >> well that's a different question i agree with what you just said but i'm with these guys that article is wrong. i'd love to sit here and say see , we progressives are winning the culture war, we're not. this country hasn't changed in a long time. you still have a center right culture in america. i don't see it going anywhere. i think david brooks was completely off. rachel: kathy do you think the left can change the culture, move it from the center right position that rick's talking about over towards more? >> well not based on this particular strategy the strategy of this particular author is one of shaming americans into silence and he went so far as to call those of us who epsouse gun s and gun ownerships as being socially morally

illegitimate so he can throw me in that bucket because i practice my second amendment on a daily basis but can he shift it? i don't believe so tragically nikolas cruz killed 17 little souls on that day but planned parenthood killed over 800 babies on a daily basis and where is the moral outrage on that? where is the social unaccept ability of that particular thing so i think that we need to take that into consideration. rachel: well listen i come out of reality tv so i'm part of pop culture this president came out of reality tv. i think in my opinion, my theory is, this is my theory is that that's why they hate him so much on the left that he is a threat to popular culture which they own and they want full dominance of what do you think, kevin? >> well i can go on, but i think they exactly feel threatened by him for the fact this was not supposed to happen, donald trump was not supposed to be president

but guess what he is the president so deal with it. rachel: but isn't that why they want him not to be on twitter? they don't want him to have the platform that they think belongs -- >> i think they are more conservatives want trump off twitter some days than there are republicans but let me address the point michael was talking about and that is brooks makes this divide in the piece that there's cultural power and political power and in reality one does precede the other and its been swinging conservative for the last 10 years. now, conservatives have control of more state houses, all houses of government on the federal level and it's not looking like the big blue wave is going to be what they thought it was this fall. rachel: really quick -- >> i would read this article, take a stand and take it up. rachel: these are pretty optimistic conservatives on this panel but we'll see. thanks a lot, great insight. all right, turning now to your headlines, griff. griff: thanks, rachel. frightening new images suggest the florida school shooter might have tried to shootout of a

window attempting kyle even more people, photos obtained by fox news show a window riddled with bullet holes and police say the third floor windows are hurricane-resistant and stopped nikolas cruz from shooting at students funneling outside. 17 people died in the february 14 shooting in parkland and senator jeff flake hasn't ruled out running against president trump in 2020 and it turns out he may be getting some advice from trump's predecessor, the senator revealing he is still in touch with former president obama. >> he called me after the shooting to make sure i was all right and after i gave my speech , the day before inauguration, he called and just to say that he enjoyed working with me and i certainly said the same. griff: make says there will be a republican challenger in 2020 because trump has put the party in "a bad place." and anthony scaramucci setting

the record straight on reports he's been banned from the white house the former communications director joined us in the last hour with the inside scoop. >> general kelly is trying to bring order to the white house but he's actually creating chaos you have to motivate and run it very differently than a rank and file command and control organization so i think he's making a mistake doing that and i also know that the morale is quite low inside the white house griff: the mooch says he end of the day he remains very loyal to the president an those are your headlines. i was pete: i was just reading this while you're talking about jeff flake. griff: tell me more about jeff flake. rachel: big surprise that the president o really enjoyed work with with him. rick? rick: pay attention, so lot to tell you we have more snow coming here maybe by wednesday, a lot of it tomorrow though, across parts of the plains take a look at the maps to show you what's going on we had the big storm mostly gone, incredible damage though all across parts

especially up around the boston area and so many beaches out across cape cod and the islands not incredibly cold behind it, it is cool out across parts of the west and we had the storm that pulled in yesterday and the day before, across parts of california and now that's ejecting out across parts of utah in towards the northern rockies. that becomes a big storm across parts of the northern plains tonight into tomorrow, and expect to see some of that being maybe severe weather across parts of the south the radar popped off it's the cloud cover but there you go it's on we're going to be seeing we have blizzard watches and warnings in effect across parts of south dakota for the stormment coastal storm develops tuesday night, wednesday across parts of the northeast and we have been looking for more snow. here is your temps for the start of your work week tomorrow still nice across parts of the southeast. all right guys, pete? griff: oh! pete: no you had me all the way until the end. rachel: you had him at hello. pete: thank you, appreciate it. griff: thanks, rick.

steel coming from other countries means to the economy. i don't think it has a big impact on the economy but you certainly have a lot of upset on the part of globalists when you look at international companies deriving so much of their revenue from overseas, that's really it. griff: you're saying people should calm down and stop setting their hair on fire because republicans all the way to wisconsin with scott walker saying -- maria: you're absolutely right because the impact on the steel and aluminum industries is smaller than the impact on those companies that are in putting steel and aluminum so it will mean higher costs there for those companies and they may very well turn around and increase prices so the argument is this is a negative for consumers but i think we have to actually start digesting a new narrative out out of washington and a new era because the president is putting america first. pete: other policies haven't worked why don't we try something different which is part of the reason why people voted for him in the first place your program which is on in about 11 minutes who else do you have? maria: trey gowdy house

pete: i set my watch to it, it's oscars time. no i don't and political statements and the academy awards usually go hand in hand of course but tonights oscars is expected to mainly focus on the movies that's what they're telling us right now the times up movement on gender equality will also get a mention but producers say this, "we've been working with them to try to find the right way to acknowledge this really historical moment but without making the show about that." griff: but can host jimmy kimmel avoid being too political? let's ask kevin mccarthy, the founder of nerd tears.com and fox news contributor. kevin? kimmel's back for a second time can he avoid it? >> that's a great question and good morning to you and i'm absolutely honored to be on. i was having a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday who goes to the movies all the time and i was saying to her are you excited about the oscars sunday and she said i'm not going to be watching the show because she's

worried about it being too political and i think that comes to a point where viewers are being left out when they watch this show and they want the show to be more entertaining and fun about the glamour about the movies and i feel the exact same way when that person told me that it broke my heart a little bit because movies are a big part of my life and the oscars are something that everybody generally gets excited about if you're a movie fan. my wife and i met in a movie theatre we have a dog named oscar after the academy award we're dressing up tonight in our house i'll be wearing a tux, she will wear a gown and watch the show so for me tonight the show should be about celebrating the films i watch over 150 movie a year and these are the best of the best and the me too movement and times up movement need to be a part of the show but maybe a planned element as well i just want less politics and more about the film in my personal opinion. rachel: kevin can i be invited to your next oscar party that sounds really fun. >> 100% you are 100% invited make sure you bring food, we want chips and dip and shrimp

cocktail. rachel: i'll bring that. of course so listen a lot of other people are saying that there was a poll out saying that people are not watching because some of them do you follow the academy awards 5% said very closely, 13% said fairly closely , not closely at all, 24% pete: and kevin ratings at their lowest level last year in many years. >> right. pete: this is a ratings thing too. >> right last year was the second lowest rating the oscars have had since the early 70s when nielsen started tracking these numbers and i think a lot of it has to do again with political elements of the show. you're turning off half the view ers essentially when you talk about the politics and also bashing the president so in my opinion stick to the movies i really want to see movies celebrated. griff: before we run out of time , tell me it's going to win. i saw dunkirk nine types and six times in the theatre tonight get out and i think it's my prediction to win, my hopeful
