i think the show -- >> ratings not looking so good. all right. good to have you back. here we go. >> we start with a fox news alert as president trump says two u.s. allies will feel the pain of his tariff plan, while also suggesting a way out for those nations. >> right. >> interesting times. >> the alert of the deal. hello. i'm john scott. >> i'm melissa francis. disumpired fears that it could start a trade wafer, the impact that is having on the stock market, the president is pushing ahead, blasting our trade deficits with mexico and canada, all while renegotiating the north american free trade agreement, heads into the homestretch this week, and the president says that deal could play a key role in whether or not the tariffs are removed. the president tweeting earlier,

the united states has an $800 billion yearly trade deficit because of our very stupid trade deals and policies. our jobs and wealth are being given to other countries that have taken advantage of us for years. they laugh at what fools our leaders have been. no more. john roberts live with the story. john, always so hard to tell where he is on issues. he keeps his emotions close to the vest. no, not really. >> you know, he has a penchant for, as you might say, if you've been shark fishing, chumming the waters, throwing something out there to let people chew over it, discuss it, see what becomes of it. at the moment, the new tariffs against aluminum and steel scheduled to go into effect later this week or maybe the beginning of next week. the president still on track, tweeting this morning, quote, to protect our country we must protect american steel, america first. the president at the same time suggesting there could be relief in store for canada and/or

mexico if they renegotiate nafta. the president treating we have large trade deficits with mexico and canada. nafta, under renegotiation, has been a bad deal with the usa. massive relocation of companies and jobs. tariffs on steel and aluminum will only come off if new and fair nafta agreement is signed. that would seem to suggest that the threat of tariffs against aluminum and steel are a negotiating tactic, something that the director of trade and industrial policy at the white house peter navarro said this morning isn't quite accurate, is not a negotiating tool. listen here. >> the purpose of the tariffs is to defend our steel and aluminum industries. make no mistake, i understand if we get a great nafta agreement, and we're trying to do that, that would be a great thing for the american people. at this point in time, 25 on steel, 10% on aluminum, no country exclusions, firm land in the sound. >> no country exclusions. while he says there will not be

exemptions for specific countries over the weekend navarro also said individual companies could apply for exemptions for certain products. the president, as you remember, pledged to protect american steel and aluminum, tweeting about that again last night. however the president said over the weekend and on friday a trade war is easy to win. but josh bolten, george w. bush's chief of staff, now head of the business roundtable, said that ain't necessarily so. listen here. >> the tweets by the president, including a tweet about responding on german autos on friday, suggests that he thinks a trade war is easy, that it's winnable. it isn't. nobody wins a trade war, especially in these globalized days, the united states, when we're so dependent on goods coming in and going out, for our competitiveness. >> we may hear more about trade in the days to come. meanwhile, the president is

scheduled to meet with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, their second meeting at the white house, fifth meeting in total, an opportunity for netanyahu to get away from scandal at home. there's talk that his spin doctor is in talks to turn state's evidence. we don't know where all of that is going to go right now. it may not bode well for netanyahu in the long run. iran will be top of the agenda for the talks that they'll have in the oval office and over bunchoverlunch, scheduled to lat three hours. netanyahu said he'll ask the president to come back in may to inaugurate the opening of the new museum in jerusalem. >> wow. a lot of news on that front. john roberts, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> taking you live to capitol hill where the so-called

dreamers and their families are marching and holding a rally on this national day of action, marking the deadline that president trump set for daca after the trump administration called march 5th the expiration date for the obama era program that protects immigrants brought to this country by their parents when they were children. joining us now, white house columnist for the hill. today was supposed to be the big day. they're all marching on capitol hill. president trump told congress, get it fixed by march 5th, 2018, and congress basically did nothing. >> exactly. and congress did nothing when there was some urgency to attached to this for exactly the reason you just said, jon. now there's less urgency attached because of a couple of court rulings. we thought that so-called dreamers wouldn't be able to renew their work permits beyond today. they now can as a consequence of

the court rulings. ultimately everyone thinks this will end in the supreme court, but that won't be for some time to come, probably beyond november. >> the supreme court had one chance to take a look at this and declined. why? >> well, it declined because basically the legal processes are still working out. what the president trump administration had argued was that the supreme court needed to intervene at an earlier point than it would normally do because of the importance of this issue. that's what they declined to do, but they could still weigh in at a later point. >> we have sort of gone through the looking glass on this issue, and i just find it so fascinating. president obama said time and time again that he couldn't wave a magic wand and simply allow the children of illegal immigrants, now adults themselves, allow them to stay in this country legally. then late in his presidency he did wave that magic wand and created the daca program, deferred action. that's what it means. we're going to wait and decide what to do with them later.

now president trump tries to undo what his predecessor did, or actually just told congress to come up with a plan to undo it, and the courts are saying, no, you don't have the power to do that. you don't have the power to do one do what a previous president said he didn't have the power to do. it's mind-boggling sometimes. >> it is. it goes to the whole issue of executive power. the reason that president trump has wanted congress to intervene on this was for the argument that you cited. >> congress is supposed to make the laws. >> right. and also where to do so, that would be a permanent fix for good or bad. that's no judgment as to whether they'd come up with a good law or not, but wouldn't be had executive order which can be done, redone, and undone depending on who's in the white house. >> here's what the head of the democratic national committee tom perez says. he says, donald trump's decision to end daca created an unnecessary crisis that has left hundreds of thousands of dreamers uncertain about their future, and now his arbitrary deadline has passed without action from the president or

republicans in congress. well, there are some half-truths in that statement. the president did propose letting the dreamers stay here, 1.8 million of them, right? >> he did. he proposed, and democrats balked at that, not because of the path to citizenship, but other conditions that were attached to that. >> he wanted a wall. >> he wanted a wall. he wanted to curtail what he calls chain migration, other people call family-based migration, wanting to end the lottery. democrats didn't go for that, but now everyone is in limbo as we're discussing. >> yeah. and then house minority leader nancy pelosi also blaming republicans, putting out a statement saying house republicans must stop cruelly using the lives and futures of these young patriots as a bargaining chip and immediately bring a bipartisan dream act to the floor for a vote. well, again, you know, the president offered, you know, look, let's make the dreamers

legal, let's build a wall, and the democrats didn't want to do that. >> it's obviously a polarizing issue. immigration has been a divisive issue for a long time. the numbers in in favor of protecting the dreamers are high. the question is what should the tradeoff be. that's where the division arises. >> we'll see what the supreme court and federal courts do down the road with this strange issue. nice standish, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> melissa? >> new information on a four-day i.c.e. raid in northern california after oakland's mayor sounded the alarm. we're learning that federal immigration officials arrested 232 immigrants. among them, 180 were convicted criminals who had been issued a final order of removal and failed to leave the u.s., or had been previously deported. and 115 of them had prior felony

convictions for serious or violent offenses, such as child sex crimes. acting i.c.e. director believes the number might have been greater if it weren't for the mayor's intervention. >> what she did is no better than a gang lookout yelling police, when a police cruiser does in the neighborhood, except she did it to the entire community. >> the oakland mayor stands by her actions, however there could be consequences. ice officials are reportedly asking the justice department to look into the whether the mayor violated laws. >> right now north korea's leader kim jong-un is meeting with a delegation in south korea, trying to broker a diplomatic solution to the rogue nation's nuclear weapons program, while also encouraging north korea to hold talks with the united states. it's believed to be the first time the young leader has met face-to-face with officials from the south since he took power in

2011. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu under fire over a corruption scandal at home. now in washington where he should get a friendly reception from president trump. plus, florida lawmakers voting today on a school safety bill. will the legislation go far enough? >> every time you hear somebody interviewed when this happens, i never thought it was going to happen to me. so i don't want to be that person. i want to be ready. we want to be proactive instead of reactive. we don't want to be victims.

>> florida state senate voting on a bill to increase safety for

schools, following a debate saturday where legislators discussed dozens of amendments. leaders hope the measure, which would raise the gun purchasing age to 21 and ban bump stocks in florida would be sent to the house and approved to reach the governor's desk before the session ends march 9th. the legislation also includes extra funding to address mental health issues. >> we're waiting for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to arrive at the white house for a meeting with president trump as the two leaders both face investigations at home. >> a little bit awkward, because the prime minister is liable to be indicted back in israel. there's that backdrop, which does make it a bit awkward. but surprisingly enough, there is a common ground not only between the u.s. and israel, but among the u.s., israel, and most of the arab countries there. the common ground is the serious concern that everyone has about

iran. >> the editor-in-chief of the "jerusalem post" joins us more on this visit. let's start with the first issue, iran, basically the strong hold they've created in syria. how do you think that conversation will go between the two leaders? >> i think that netanyahu is here, melissa, because essentially he wants to try to influence president trump and the administration's decision-making when it comes to the future of the iran deal, what president trump will come in may, if he waive sanctions, or tries to negotiate with the europeans to try to modify the deal or pull out of the deal. israel basically has three primary concerns today when it comes to iran. one is insuring that if the deal, however it stays, if it's modified, keeps the way it is, that iran never gets a nuclear weapon. number two is that somehow the issue of iran's continued

development of ballistic missiles is addressed. and three, is the issue of iran's continued support of terrorist organizations in the region as well as the presence its trying to create inside syria. we saw just a few weeks ago when they flew the iranian drone across the border into israel, and the israeli fighter jet that was shot down. it's a volatile situation. right now the iran deal doesn't address those issues. that's a major concern for israel. >> it's a major concern for israel. president trump has signaled it's obviously a huge concern for him as well, but he's not getting a lot support from any other countries, specifically europe. what could they do today to tackle that problem? >> look, europe it seems to me to be more tactical in their thinking. they see quiet today. why reopen up a can of worms, the nuclear deal, that could push the iranians to pull out. if the deal is changed, they'll

enrich uranium to military-grade levels, giving them the ability to have a nuclear weapon. the iranians are thinking short-term. the president and prime minister netanyahu are thinking long term, 10 years from now, and we need to address those issues today. >> so the president also made the big announcement about among the embassy, and after that sort of nothing happened, and a lot of people thought that would be the beginning of a negotiation that's sort of the opening salvo, taking that off the table so that then the two sides can talk about something else, and at the same time you look at, you know, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, his troubles at home, it seems like the police are closing in. so how do those two factors -- how do you sort of talk about the embassy and at the same time the other story in the background about benjamin netanyahu's own problems? >> there's question that netanyahu is facing a lot of legal troubles back at home. today there's reports of a third state's witness, another one of

his close associates, his so-called spin doctor, turning state's witness, and is now going to also be testifying against the prime minister in the third investigation against him. so, you know, he's got those issues. i think that there's, a, there's a country to run. and b, don't forget, this visit right now, as much as it's important for u.s.-israeli ties, it's important for netanyahu back home to broadcast how indispensable back home, that only he could get a president of the united states, in this case president trump, to make a move of deciding to move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem, inviting the president to attend in may. that's important for israel, but also netanyahu politically to show the israeli electorate. >> "i'm still doing good work, you don't want to get rid of me." >> exactly. >> thank you. appreciate your insight. >> thank you.

>> united airlines has a new plan to award employees. why it isn't going over too well with airline workers. plus -- >> president trump's bogey war with the media and why the u.s. says he'll be successful in his 2020 re-election bid. >> the president will have a myriad of successes to run on in the 2020 election. as you know, the heritage foundation just put out a survey basically saying this president has already accomplished 64% of his agenda.

you know what's awesome? gig-speed internet. you know what's not awesome? when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. >> a major airline taking a new approach to rewarding its employees. united airlines doing away with quarterly performance bonuses and instead employees will enter a lottery and one lucky person,

but just one, will win $100,000. the president says other quarterly prizes will include luxury vacations and smaller cash awards and cars even, but the change is not sitting well with workers. chicago local media reports that united's plan has been met with a firestorm of criticism from its employees. interesting. >> well, president trump ramping up his 2020 re-election campaign over the weekend, as he hopes to ride on momentum from his first year in office. the president fulfilling his 2016 campaign promise to put america first. he says no matter how controversial. he continues to face pushback from the media. in an op-ed "new york post" columnist michael goodwin wrote, quote, trump continues to take the ship of state into unchartered waters, and that alone explains much of the hair on fire reaction from networks to newspapers, rumor and

speculation are dressed up as authoritative by citing sources close to the president. this is compelling only you forget how many times anonymous sources were wrong. our panel now. welcome to both of you. so michael good win says, you know, the sheer pace of change, judy, coming out of the trump white house is enough to throw the media into hysterics. we simply cannot keep up with what's going on. what do you think about that? >> there's a certain amount of truth to that, john. i mean, this barrage of news and this reality tv show masquerading as an administration is breathtaking.

even michael goodwin talking about steering the ship into unchartered waters that's not what's going on here. the problem for donald trump, as michael goodwin acknowledges later on in the column is that people are worried about the direction he's taking the ship in, and whether or not he's intent on throwing half the passengers, or at least his own staff, over board while he's getting there. so, you know, whether it's the tariffs, the new tariffs that have tanked the market, have american industry into really just a terrible mood, and the stock market into a worse one, or immigration, hat of people, republicans and democrats, are concluding you cannot make a deal with this man. that scares people. that's what has gotten people rattled. that, and of course with his perpetual war with us. >> let me read another part of michael goodwin's piece and get joe's reaction on the other side of it. michael writes, while no

president in modern history has faced such media assault and entrenched opposition, including from some in the fbi, trump has workhorse stamina, and w.a.r. determination to succeed. his policies are mostly the right ones and his tax changes and regulatory reforms will spur growth and create opportunities for millions of americans. joe, your thoughts. >> well, when michael says that president trump has faced an assault like we've never seen before, there are numbers to back that up, right? pew research found that 5% positive coverage was given to this president or more than eight times less than his predecessor in obama. that's not just an opinion of something, but somebody that's backing that opinion up. back to unnamed sources -- this is very important, and judy used to work for "new york times," and margaret sullivan was a public editor at "the new york times," and liz spade, the latest one, said that the number one complaint of "new york times" readers -- just to make sure this was a partisan

political argument -- is there's an overreliance on unnamed sources. every story, it seems, when it comes to palace intrigue with this president and his administration are based on unnamed sources. they're always negative toward the administration. let me give you two examples real quick. secretary of state rex tillerson, it was reported in november, through unnamed sources, he would be stepping down, and mike pompeo would be secretary of state. four months later, that story didn't work out. there's no accountability around these things, because the news cycle moves so fast. here's a homework assignment for everybody. h.r. mcmaster, reported last week, through five sources, to nbc news, saying he would be stepping down, or at least forced to resign because kelly wanted to get him out. that's chief of staff kelly. let's see happens. a month or two months away, if mcmaster is still there, let's hold these news organizations accountable when they report these things and it doesn't pan out. >> there's a longtime republican

hand in washington, judy, bill bennett who served in the reagan and bush 41 administrations in a number of capacities, on "fox and friends," and had this to say about what's going on with the trump white house. listen to. >> the guy is a supernova. he's all over the map. but fulfilling the promises that he made on the campaign. this is quite extraordinary. usually in washington, you have a president, puts out a plan, you get to it three months later. when you get to it, there it is, it's straightforward, it's uninteresting. this guy is making plans on three different fronts, or four different fronts, on a daily or weekly basis. >> again, he says it's liking drinking from a fire hose for the media to take it all in. judy? >> well, i think it's true that he's doing a lot, and he's doing a lot through executive order, which, by the way, candidate trump attacked president obama for doing. i think that's a bad way to do

business. but when you can't get anything through the congress, i think after a while you have to ask yourself is that because the congress is totally screwed up, which it may well be or, or is it because you don't have a president who is believed. at this point, when even some your friends are telling people -- and joe's right, often anonymously -- that the president is so erratic that you cannot make a deal with him, you have credibility issues here. another thing i have to point out, the r-word, and i'm not talking about robert mueller, i'm talking about russia. this president is all over the map. the one place where he's not is responding to the fact that the russians not only interfered in the 2016 presidential election, but they are continuing to do so, and threatened to do so in the next election. where is the president on that issue? every republican ought to ask himself that. >> joe, i'll give you 20 seconds for a final thought. >> thank you. just to pushback on judy a

little bit. tax reform was passed through the congress. the nomination of judge gorsuch was passed in terms of that approved. isis caliphate. the president has accomplished things through the congress and executive order, and that needs to be pointed out. >> and he's running for re-election. we'll see what the american people think. thank you both. >> thank you. >> as president trump defends his plan to impose tariffs on some exports, why some republicans worry this could spell trouble for the party in november.

blossom >> well, special counsel robert mueller ramps up his investigation with new subpoenas for a witness, as some are calling for an investigation of the justice department's handling of the probe. trey gowdy. >> i don't think the inspector general himself can answer all of our questions. some of these witnesses have already left the department, which means the inspector general does not have jurisdiction. there are other agencies like the state department, where michael horowitz at doj has no jurisdiction whatsoever. >> peter ducey is live on capitol hill with more on all of this. peter? >> john, it sounds like some

house republicans are ready to revolt against the former republican senator, who became president trump's attorney general jeff sessions. that is if sessions does not name a second special counsel to investigate obama era abuses of the fisa. >> it's time for jeff sessions to appoint either a second special counsel like so many republicans have called for or have someone step into the job that can do the job. >> right now the doj inspector general is doing an investigation into the possibility that officials there misused the fisa court to spy on americans. but the house oversight committee chairman trey gowdy says that's like having your friends on the jury or grading your own homework, pointing this junior general can only interview people who work at doj and dozens of witnesses have moved on, which is why he wants a fresh set of outside eyes, and that comes as the author of the

infamous nunez memo is talking more about the big picture problem. >> in this case to open a counter intelligence investigation into a campaign, into politics, is not what the fisa court should be used for. >> the special counsel already appointed for a different issue, election meddling investigation robert mueller, is now according to a report, asking witnesses for everything they ever wrote to or received from aides like corey lewandowski, hope hicks, keith shiller, the longtime bodyguard, and the president himself. mueller is zeroing in on a businessman, george nader, alleged to have possibly have insight into an effort or a desire by the united arab emirates to try and funnel money to the trump campaign in exchange for favors. jon? >> a lot to keep track of. peter ducey in washington, thank you. >> president trump's

controversial tariff plan is not just ruffling feathers abroad, but republican leaders worry it could hurt them in november. concerns that white house national trade council director peter that radar row is dismissing. >> in terms of the republican party, donald trump ran against 16 republicans. none of those republicans supported donald trump's positions on trade. he beat every one of them. then donald trump went on with a democratic opponent who didn't support his positions on trade and beat them too. >> let's turn to our panel. lawrence, i don't want to lose sight of the fact that there's a special election coming up in pennsylvania, steel country. do you think that this announcement now, which doesn't actually have anything to it other than the announcement, we haven't seen actual details or a

date for implementation, does it have something to do with the special election, do you think? >> i don't know. it may. that's only one part of the country, though. so like i said, there's no details to this. i'm really concerned because, you know, me and richard had a predebate before we got on air, and he groceries with him. i think that should -- agrees with him. that should concern the audience, when richard is agreeing with the president and i disagree with the president on this. >> richard, there's something to that. i did notice that in the notes as well, that you were on the president's side. so does that seem -- also joe manchin, let's hear from him real quick, and i'll let you react on other side. >> an old saying, follow the money. that's what's talking here. the people at main street are saying we got devastated, got hurt. we've lost good jobs and benefits. we can't compete. when you have exine producing 50% of the world's steel, you have the united states of america basically consuming the largest importer of steel.

put the dots together. lindsay talked about that. connect the dots. we've got to do something. also we shouldn't punish our favorite trading nations, but we have surpluses with them, and there's not a negative trade -- you know, trade war. >> richard, i mean democrats are agreeing with the president on this. >> this is not about politics. this is about, like joe manchin said, this is about the working people, working class. for far too long, trade deals in this country, have impacted -- while it's benefited wall street, it's hurt main street over and over again. i do agree with the president's position on trade. i don't think we should have trade wars -- >> that's going to happen, richard. >> wait a minute. i don't think that bluster helps, but with that being said we have to protect the american worker. that's why i agree with this president. >> lawrence, i might add, this is how the president always negotiates, he comes out with a radical position, resets the negotiation, and that it never ends up where that position started, whether it's going

we're going to pull out of nato, and suddenly everybody ponies up the money. we're not pulling out of nato. the muslim ban talked about during the campaign, turns out it's six countries identified by the administration. i could go on and on. daca, first thing he says is let's offer amnesty to two to three times as people as president obama said. his first position is always totally radical, and everybody freaks out, and you begin negotiating from there. >> the problem is, melissa -- you're right, i agree with that negotiating style, but he's been talking about this for decades. i don't think there's going to be that much flexibility on this issue. the reality of it is, is that sometimes trade isn't fair. you're going to -- you've done a great job when it comes to tax reform. we got record-breaking stocks in the past -- you know, the american workers are excited, the economy is booming. why would you messes it up doing

this? >> richard, the first clue is when he said we'll have the steel tariff, unless we renegotiate nafta, and it's better. >> right. here's the thing, we should renegotiate nafta, but it's unfair to the american worker. >> i agree. >> you could say we need -- the president needs flexibility, but on this issue there shouldn't be flexibility, because over and over again, for decades, we've seen american workers get thrown under the bus by corporations and wall street, and now we've got to do everything in our power to protect the american worker. if this president wants to do it, i'll stand by him. >> the problem is, melissa, when you have different people from the administration going on national tv saying, well, it's just a few pennies here and there, that's going to matter. it's going to add up. i think it's bad messaging on the part of the white house. part of it is because they didn't roll this out correctly. we have no details. no specifics. they just swung from the hip.

>> he starts with a radical position -- oh, no! you know, and then lo and behold, he resets the negotiation. we go back. we got to go guys. thank you. >> the fact that republicans' hair is on fire right now is hilarious. >> i know it. we fall for it every time. good to have you both of you. >> some tough talk from vladimir putin, saying russians indicted by the u.s. will never be indicted. 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.

>> russia does not extradite its citizens to anyone, just like the united states. does the united states extradite its citizens to anyone? >> that's vladimir putin last week reminding us that russia does not have an extradition treaty with the united states.

putin shutting down any suggestion that the 13 russian nationals indicted in special counsel robert mueller's investigation will face charges in the united states. what's next for mueller and his team? we bring in michael o'hanlon from the brookings institution. nobody really thought, michael, that bob mueller was expecting that these 13 were going to be put on a plane, sent over here to face trial, did they? >> that's right. of course president putin is wrong. we do actually have extradition agreements with more than 100 countries, but for traditional criminal acts, not for state-sponsored actions that looks like espionage, certainly nothing russia will admit or acknowledge happened in the first place. there's no chance that russia would give away the store by

letting us know what these 13 people have been up to, instructed to do by russian intelligence. that was never in the cards in the first place. >> because if putin assented to their extradition, he'd essentially be saying, yeah, these are the people that my government employed to help meddle with u.s. elections. >> and he would be acknowledging, or at least he'd be worried, that they would see him as acknowledging that what he did was wrong. i think in his own mind he doesn't think he did anything wrong, because he thinks that we're very active in watching and monitoring russia, encouraging democratic revolution in the former soviet space, and he thinks all he did was find creative ways to do the same thing to us. obviously he doesn't want to give away russian state secrets. on multiple levels this won't happen. >> is this action by mueller's team helpful or hurtful, in your opinion? >> it's not hurtful. i see it as a shot across the

bow, one more shot across the bow, because presumably if we do on this occasion, and nothing happens, which it won't, then the next time we have concerns or allegations we'll have to do something more, otherwise we look pretty feckless and our actions seem pretty pointless. so i see this as one more signal that, yes, we can intensify through economic sanctions that are much broader in scope than what we've got today against russia, and high schoo also we'g the american people, american congress, the president, that in fact bad things happened in 2016, and let's not be in danger of forgetting, because we haven't taken enough steps as a country to be better prepared the next time this could happen. i see it as an ongoing story, and really consciousness-raise more than anything else. >> so aside from, you know, more sanctions, what could we do? >> there are a number of things. i mean, you can make sure that all the electoral backups that we need for elections, you know,

paper backups for all ballots are in place. i don't think that's been completed yet for 2018. also maybe create some kind of an information clearinghouse that's above and beyond the fray of partisan politics where, quote, unquote, fake news could be investigated, to see if there's anything behind it, and americans could consult a website to see if the news on their social media feed is in any way, shape, or form backed up by real facts. those are ideas i'd like to see us implementing. we're already in march, and the midterms are not far away. >> michael, thank you. >> the numbers don't lie. the surprising new report on which age group falls for scams more than any other. and the stars came out last night for the 90th annual academy awards after scandals rocked hollywood last year. live report from los angeles next. >> tech: at safelite autoglass we know that when you're spending time with the grandkids... ♪ music
