2:01 pm
victory that the president won by 20-point in the 2015 election. holly is live in pennsylvania where the president is set to speak. molly, what can you tell us. >> good evening. we are inside the hangar and you can see a packed crowd with a lot of make america great hats. these are clearly a lot from supporters and many of them supporting his choice for this congressional seat here in the h district. that is why the president is coming here to support him. a very tight race that you mentioned, here and he made one quick stop in january and was greeted on the tarmac who is in a tough fight. this has been a republican seat in the gop hands for 15 years and republicans clearly want to keep it that way. mike pence, the president's daughter and kellyanne conway have all made stops here as well. here is just one of the many supporters outside told us today. >> what i support trump for is
2:02 pm
he is country first. everything is below that. now he is firming up with our military and security for the world by bringing peace and talks with north korea. he is a military man. democrats have made the race very competitive. they are putting their hopes on a young marine veteran, connor lamb. former vp biden came earlier this week and he also has been racking up a slew of union backers, carpenters and skilled workers and endorsed by the afl-cio and the largest federation of labor unions in the state. >> i am voting for lamb and there's multitude of reasons why. one, his opponent has been so
2:03 pm
antiunion since he's been in office, we've tried to talk to him and every time we do we get, you have to corner him to get him to talk to you. the president tweeted yesterday he is expecting a big crowd today here and the big question is will he be able to rally the base and get them out for his candidate of choice. we will find out. the election is tuesday. back to you. >> molly, if you are a political junkie, this is a race to watch for sure. my buddy will join me on tuesday. thank you molly. arthel: . i will see you at the race. we will be reporting on tuesday night. the rifle association is suing florida over new gun control legislation. it tightened restrictions for buying firearms for the state legislature passed the measure in the wake of the horrible school shooting last month which killed 14 students and three staff members, as you know. governor rick scott signed the bill yesterday. garrett tenney, live in washington with the latest on the bill and reaction.
2:04 pm
>> this new law includes a long list that the state is taking to address gun violence anincluding some of the nra fully supporting such as allowing schools to arm teacher. it also raises the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 - 21 and that is what the nra is calling a blatant violation of the second amendment. in a statement announcing the federal lawsuit, the nra said the ban is eviscerating the right of law abiding adults between ages of 18 - 21 to keep and bear arms. swift.action is needed to prevent young adults in florida from being treated as second-class citizens when it comes to the right to keep and bear arms. 40 joins a handful of states that don't allow anyone under 21 to buy a gun and that is stricter than federal gun laws which prohibit licensed dealers from selling handguns to anyone under 21 but rifles and shotguns, just to those who are under 18.
2:05 pm
governor rick scott who is a strong supporter of the nra said it was important to balance individual rights with public safety in this law and he believes it's an important first step to better protecting fortis children. >> will this bill make a huge investment and dramatically improve school safety in hopes of never seeing another tragedy like this again. will this bill provide more funding to treat the mentally ill? will it give far more tools to keep guns away from people who should not have them? the answer to all three is yes. today the justice department announced it is also taking steps toward a nationwide ban on bump stock devices which allow semi automatic weapons to function as fully automatic. in a statement, jeff sessions said president trump is absolutely committed to ensuring the safety and security of every american and he has directed us to propose a regulation addressing bump stock spread that is proposed regulations would make it illegal to own, sell or
2:06 pm
manufacture the devices which will likely take some time before the changes go into full effect. that is probably because it is also expected to face a number of legal challenges as well. arthel: we shift to the highly anticipated talks between president trump and north korean leader kim jong-un. new details with the white house think the regime must take certain steps before any face-to-face meeting can take place. julian turner is in washington with the details. president trump is basking in the afterglow of yesterday's historic announcement saying the deal with north korea is very much in the making and will be a very good one for the world of completed. the time and place to be determined. agreeing to talk is only the first step in what is guaranteed to be a very long and risky process. senior officials are already focused on reducing those risks by demanding concessions from pyongyang before the president trump sits down at the negotiating table. >> they promised denuclearize
2:07 pm
and stop missile testing. they recognize we will continue in our military exercises. >> when the president comes face with kim jong-un, that will test the negotiating prowess and have strategic risk. one risk outlined by democratic lawmaker is the intense personal dislike of the two that they have for each other and their unpredictable nature. the unpredictable nature and the volatility of these two are one of the risks that is entailed here. south korea and japan have already privately expressed concern that trump will concede too much and if the u.s. failed to get anything major in return, the meeting could be viewed as a propaganda victory for north korea. >> the other thing that might be happening is he is luring us into these negotiations but then he will make demands that he knows we can never agree to. >> when secretary of state madeleine albright met with kim jong-un's father they were criticized for not exacting
2:08 pm
any concessions from the north for the last major risk is failure sure the talks fail some fear the u.s. will be left with only one good option. >> if you break up talks with no concessions and no move toward denuclearization, i fear the only option after that point is a military option. >> one thing that is certain, the whole world will be watching. >> thank you very much. eric. >> direct talks with north korea will confront decades of anti- u.s. propaganda. it's been ingrained in the country's people. they grow up being told we are the enemy. before the meeting announcement, i sat down and propose an idea for the past trump administration to open up the hermit kingdom. he revealed the derogatory term that he says the regime teaches all north koreans to slam us americans. reporter: this looks like any
2:09 pm
american college student when he walks along the ivy league walkways at columbia university in new york city. he savors the freedom of our nations perhaps more than any other. this young man is north korean and up 31 years old he has a new life and fresh perspective of what he and all his friends were taught by the regime dictator kim jong-un. >> we are only to call american people pastors. he now lives among us after growing up playing a childhood game that targets america. [inaudible] you handed over to speak to another kid so those kinds of things is pretty normal activity as a kid in north korea. >> you were told that america would invade but that north korea would win. >> one 100%.
2:10 pm
he thanks the only way to reach north koreans is to talk despite the failures of previous negotiations. >> you have to sit down to talks to another side so there must be some compromise from both sides and be able to communicate with each other. >> he is convinced that kim jong-un will never relinquish his nuclear weapons. >> they are used in cases like saddam hussein. [inaudible] then you don't have weapons and you eventually become a sacrifice by the stronger power. you have to have a nuclear weapon, we will never give up this weapon. he said america's best weapon is hollywood and that washington should embark on an information campaign using dvds and american movies so
2:11 pm
north korean can learn about the world beyond their borders. >> some like to watch the movie titanic. it's very popular. something will because if if you watch north korean movies, they do not have internet. they're not allowed to make international phone calls. we need to send information into the country and we have to engage with north korean people. >> despite the challenges he has faced, freedom will come. the regime should allow its people to leave free freely. it's virtually a prison. reporter: his dream is for his country the one day live free freely and enjoy the same liberties he does now. he says he still has nightmares about border guards tracing him but he says when he wakes up in the morning and he opens his eyes he is so
2:12 pm
thankful and very relieved to be here in america. for more on president trump's potential meeting with kim jong-un, asian analyst gordon chang will join us in just a few minutes. arthel: rex tillerson is visiting kenya but his schedule of events were all canceled. we will tell you why. plus a former navy sailor who served a year behind bars is now free. why he was locked up and the role president trump played in winning his freedom. all of that is still ahead. we are very grateful to the president for following through with his promise to help our family out. it's amazing and this is just one of the many great things that he has done in his term.

all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. (avo) if yand constipation,ling and you're overwhelmed by everything you've tried-- all those laxatives, daily probiotics, endless fiber-- it could be wearing on you. tell your doctor what you've tried, and how long you've been at it. linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than eighteen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools.

2:16 pm
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. secretary of state rex tillerson is expected to resume a schedule tomorrow after we are told he fell ill in kenya. all events planned were canceled. officials say the secretary of state has been feeling unwell following several long days working on a lot of major issues since such as the north korean crisis. no word on what his symptoms are or what ails him.
2:17 pm
his events will be rescheduled including a stop at the site of the bombing of the u.s. embassy in nairobi. >> it could be history in the making as president trump agrees to meet with north korean leader kim jong-un. the stunning development marks the potential turning point after decades of hostility between the u.s. and the hermit kingdom, but the devil is in the details for the u.s. faces many hurdles ahead of this historic meeting. asian analyst drains me now, he is also the author of nuclear showdown north korea as they took take on the world. glad to have you here. i want to talk about those hurdles in a minute. first and when asked, what you make of sarah sanders comments that there will not be a meeting between president trump and kim jong-un until we see concrete action. that also, what is the white house position today, is it smart and strategic position and is in a position of strength. >> sarah sanders said that yesterday, but the white house
2:18 pm
walked that back privately in comments to the new york times and other publications. the reason is she has had a new qualification to a decade-old u.s. policy. our policy has always been we will talk with the north koreans if, beforehand they acknowledge their prior obligation to give up their nukes. that's all we ask that we didn't ask for concrete action which is what sanders that we were now requiring. i think it's a good idea that we talked to the north koreans just with the pledge, even with no concrete action because we hold a lot of high cards in this negotiation. also, south korea, our main ally wants us to talk to north korea. we need to keep our alliance strong and that includes talking to the north koreans. >> so much in there. you say we hold high cards? like what. >> the sanctions but the
2:19 pm
reason the north koreans are willing to talk to us is because they are really being hurt by u.s. and un sanctions. there are so many reports for instance the office number 39 which is the family personal slush fund is running out of cash. the south koreans are saying north korea will run out of its foreign exchange reserves by october. there's also a lot of other in a total evidence in that direction and that means kim needs a lot of sanctions relief so you've got to come to us because we are the ones maintaining those sanctions. >> so you're saying sanctions are what drawing or forcing him to the table. do you believe the meeting will ultimately take place, if it does, where what happened and what are the saying. >> the meeting probably will be in the joint security area in the demilitarized owns, it could be on the south korean side, that's where he is actually going to meet president of south korea in april so it be easy to hold the follow-up meeting with president trump because a meeting with president trump will probably follow the one with moon. there's one bad thing about meeting this and people point this out of time. that is trump merely meeting
2:20 pm
kim is elevating him, giving him legitimacy but that's a very small price to pay because he has made a lot of pledges according to the south koreans. pledges that are important to us including committing to giving up his nuclear weapons. >> to those, guaranty. >> there's no guarantee. the north koreans are modestly lying but nonetheless, we are not have an agreement where they say they will do something. we will have a agreement that says they will do something and we enforce it with inspections. that's really the only way we can trust them because you can't trust them. >> and you believe we can get in there and find the necessary agents, if you will in terms of their nukes? can we find them. >> if we don't have an inspections regime there will not be an agreement and what that means is that we will just continue the sanctions to the point where the regime is going to fall apart. in some. >> you don't think china, you don't think they will keep back during their money.
2:21 pm
>> they will do their best but the trump administration has signaled that they are willing to impose costs on them and i hope that the administration will go forward with that because we know the chinese and the russians have been sanctions busting recently. >> gordon, you say you believe that seoul and washington should maintain a relationship but now you have south korean president in office, and he is a little bit of a shady character because his idea would be perhaps something else. >> he is a korean nationalist which means he is feeling much closer to kim jong-un than he does to president trump and he also likes china a lot better than he likes us. the fortunate thing about all of this is that the south korean people are on our side because they realize the u.s. is the only guarantor of their safety and prosperity. moon is boxed in and trump has done a good job of preventing moon to do what he would otherwise want to do. this is a good story for the
2:22 pm
u.s. as long as we keep them on site we are more powerful than those on the other side of the divide. all we have to do is maintain relationship with south korea and we will be okay. arthel: do you think president trump made the right play or are there pitfalls. >> there are tons of pitfalls but it was the right play for a number of reasons. if this all goes south which it could do because of north koreans are going to live through their teeth come the point is we have sanctions, we have the support of south korea and we can manage this. we've managed it for seven decades. sometimes it hasn't looked pretty but we've always been able to maintain the peace. >> you've managed it but it's not been managed very well. according to him. just a yes or no, do you feel that if kim jong-un is squeezed out of his money that he would have no choice but to dismantle or discontinue building nukes. >> yes. he will have no choice. >> thank you so much. nice to talk to you before we
2:23 pm
will see if that can come to pass. president trump is eager to put an end to the russia probe. we are told he is considering a possible sit down with robert muller and his investigators. what a new report is saying about his legal team's reservations and strategy. plus, a pardon by the president and this case is linked to the clinton e-mail investigation. held all ties together and why he was pardoned, still ahead on fox news for this saturdayon afternoon. of my family while i was overseas serving. it was my very first car accident. we were hit from behind. i called usaa and the first thing they asked was 'are you ok?' they always thank you for your service, which is nice because as a spouse you serve too. we're the hayles and we're usaa members for life. see how much you could save with usaa by bundling your auto and home insurance. get a quote today.

when heartburn hits fight back fast with tums chewy bites. fast relief in every bite. crunchy outside. chewy inside. tum tum tum tum tums chewy bites. arthel: president trump pardoned a former u.s. navy sailor. he served a year behind bars for taking photos of cap classified areas and nuclear submarines. trump drew attention to the case and link it to the hillary clinton investigation. will is live with more in the story. >> they are one happy man this week. back in 2009 he was serving
2:28 pm
aboard uss alexandria when he snapped a handful of pictures of confidential parts of the ship. he said he took the pics as mementos but according to authorities he later tried to destroy evidence that he served one year end became a felon. it.president trump brought up frequently on the campaign trail when lambasting his opponent hillary clinton and her use of private e-mail server. >> it's honestly been, for somebody like myself who is patriotic and all i ever wanted to serve my country, i honestly believe the systems that went after me were put in place to protect people like me until i was run through the ringer. president trump tweeted congratulations to a man who have served proudly in the navy on your newly found freedom. now you can go out and have the life you deserve. >> while serving he regularly meant toward younger sailors and served as an instructor
2:29 pm
for new recruits. the sentencing judge found that his offense stands in contrast to his commendable military service. >> before the pardon he was driving a garbage truck because nobody would hire him because he was a convicted felon. now his slate is wiped clean and the first thing he did was ask for permission to cut off his ankle monitor. arthel: thank you very much. eric: president trump is insisting that russian interference had no impact on the outcome of the election and that there was no collusion with moscow and its campaign. this comes as the wall street journal reports that the president lawyers are
2:30 pm
considering trying to make a deal with special counsel robert muller on interviewing him. in order to speed up the investigation. can that happen? david is with us, he is senior editor at rollcall. we expect some comments from the president on north korea in the moments we may interrupt you. first, this happened, what is it. what type of agreement could it be, is it realistic. >> the agreement between mr. muller and mr. trump is wide open. there are tons to be negotiated. i don't think we've seen the end of these negotiations. i think this could be something that drags on for quite a while. i think it's a high-risk for both sides, muller gets only one shot at the president, he is wanting to delay that as long as possible so he can get all of his questioning lined up from talking to every other witness, looking at every other document image approach the president one time for his version of events, knowing what he knows. the president is in a tough place. he wants to speak. he seems very intent to want to get in a room with the muller team and put his own rhetorical and negotiating skills to work and his lawyers want to do what his learners want to do. here's the president of the united states leaving the white house, going to pennsylvania.
2:31 pm
[inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] eric: that reminds me of the ronald reagan walk of marine one when you could hardly hear him but what he did say is he has a lot of support with the effort for north korea and they are looking to denude is what the president just said. he is on his way to pennsylvania. he will be a appearing about three hours from now and we will have it live. there's a special election in philadelphia just outside pittsburgh. we will go live later.
2:32 pm
can they put a time limit on interviewing the president. can they put a subject limit on interviewing him, and if they can't, can muller subpoena the president to testify and to speak to his investigators. >> he can certainly try to subpoena the president. then you get into aspects of constitutional law and executive privilege and precedent that is above my simple journalistic paygrade. this then becomes sort of it rises to a level of its own constitutional crisis, my own view is that if it comes to a subpoena, mr. muller has the leverage. the president has been saying all along, quite diligently and consistently, i did nothing wrong, i have nothing to hide, let's get it over with sort of bring it on and if he is then perceived as resisting his big moment to tell his side of the story, i'm not sure politically that works for him and i think he won't want that image but his
2:33 pm
lawyers, as i was saying right before the president came out on the south lawn, lawyers want to protect their clients. lawyers are conservative people by nature. they want to shield them from surprises from any kind of problem. you want to answer things very simply, only answer what was asked, give yes or no answers. that solid legal advice that runs quite counter to the president's own personality but there will be internal conflicts between his legal team and the president. >> we are looking on the left side of the screen. marine one as the president will emerge from the helicopter to go to air force one to fly off, outside of pittsburgh this afternoon. meanwhile you mentioned it seems to be the focused, as we are told, the firing of flynn and told me. here's what the "washington journal" said about the
2:34 pm
testimony saying, mr. trump's testimony could set a bad precedent for future presidents eroding their powers. if you would face detailed questions, they may have been reluctant to participate. general questions about what he was thinking when he ordered the firing of mr. conley might be acceptable. that's an opportunity to get to thinking to show that in the presence you there was no criminal intent which one would expect he would testify to. >> sure that is essentially what his lawyers think, if he can just go in there and tell his side of the story without too much rebuttal or cross-examination, that will work to his advantage. i'm not sure why mr. muller would allow that. mr. muller wants to nail this has crisply and tightly and firmly as he can. he will want his opening position to say that the president should be treated no differently from any other witness, other witnesses are asked for specificity if they
2:35 pm
go down, if they open the door to a specific chain of events than the prosecutor's obligation to try to pin the witness down and to get him to be as specific as possible and as we all would agree from having watched the presidents, for as long as we've been watching, he is quite good at perpetrating his view of the big picture. he stumbles pretty easily when it gets to the facts. >> sometimes we saw deposition as a businessman and he would say he didn't remember. he couldn't recall and clearly that could possibly happen if he has a deposition. remember we saw bill clinton, four hours, was at the white house map room at four hours testifying before the grand jury to ken starr, they ranged over a variety of issues in that investigation. >> that's right and that's a good thing to bring up. that appearance was a videotaped deposition in the white house map room that was the result of many, many weeks
2:36 pm
of back-and-forth between ken starr's team and the presidents legal team and that's what they ultimately settled on. it didn't happen easily. both sides pushed harder than upcoming to this negotiated agreement and as you said, four hours of testimony and we remember essentially seven words out of it. it all depends on what the meaning of the word is is. in four hours of testimony, you can get a headline, usually and the prosecutors can usually get something they can work with and at least they get the witness side of the story. i don't think this will reach its climactic points for a while yet. we were talking off the air about all kinds of storylines that are still, mr. muller is still pursuing. it's this whole angle of meeting in the facial islands that none of us knew about. there's been other things that
2:37 pm
mr. muller has been bringing witnesses in. it's a broad and deep investigation. i don't think that the full attention is going to be placed on getting the president to testify until all the other stuff is finished. it does seemed like they have a lot from banking and finance and russians in the sky george we are told is cooperating and you can forget sam. and you can forget paul manafort we saw just this week pleading not guilty to a new set of charges, having to do with his taxes. it doesn't really have much to do with russian modeling by russians in the election but it does have to do, if you covered the courthouse at all, you know this is a classic case of putting pressure on an important witness to be more cooperative. lots more avenues to pursue. it's like appear mad. mr. muller is working to the most important person in the pure land and that the president himself. he will be the climactic finish to his investigation. >> i want to point out, after those appearances last week on
2:38 pm
other networks, in an interview he said it's not a witchhunt but at the same time he said i don't believe it leads to the president. so is good to see you. let me remind, i know it doesn't look like that gleaming 747 but those aviation aficionados will know that whenever the president is on an airplane, it is indeed by the callsign, air force one and that 757 is usually flown by the vice president of the united states but because the president is only on a short jump up to pittsburgh for his rally at 7:00 p.m. eastern, 757 is air force one. although i better have the military, someone out there will know the exact military term for 757. not a casey 155. treat me. thanks. arthel: we have a fox news alert, stand up at the man who
2:39 pm
said shot two officers, killing one of them and it's not over. the suspect is in custody. they say the start of last night when a suspect got away from police in a pickup truck. he crashed and ran off into an apartment complex. the suspect then fired through the apartment door at two officers he barricaded himself inside. so far no word on the suspect they didn't view. i tried to look and see where this actually happened. the officer, the other officer was seriously injured in the shooting. again, right now the standoff is over. the suspect is in custody and we will keep you posted on any new details we get. he was scolded for his boastful behavior during the trial but it became a different scene once the guy who was dubbed the hated man in america, he received a sentence. british authorities released the details today at the investigation in attempted
2:40 pm

2:41 pm
it takes a lot of work to run this business. but i really love it. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i don't eat the way i should. so, i drink boost to get the nutrition i'm missing. boost high protein nutritional drink has 15 grams of protein to help maintain muscle and 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d. all with a great taste. boost gives me everything i need... to be up for doing what i love. boost high protein be up for it
2:43 pm
2:44 pm
switching to allstate is worth it. british government, security officials are holding an emergency meeting and nearly 200 troops searched the salisbury mall where x russia spy and his daughter were poisoned by a nerve agent. the military removing any contaminated items from the scene and the uk home secretary is staying typ tightlipped about what agent was used and where it came from. >> we need all the information we can from this incident. we need to make sure that everyone is safe, not just around this incident but nationally. we have to give the police all the space they need to collect
2:45 pm
all the information to secure and be able to be absolutely clear that there is no further risk. i am joined by jonathan former director of communications and spokesperson of the united states mission to the united nations, jonathan it's good to see you. what jumps out at you most concerning this case, and what is this, how does this affect the psyche of the people of the uk. >> it's terrifying. can you imagine here in new york you have an x by, his daughter and then a policeman affected by a nerve agent and other people got within proximity of this nerve agent hospitalized, it's terrifying. it has a mento called an act of terrorism, but it's pretty close if not terrorism. you've scared the public, you've managed to really make a lot of people worried about their health, their safety, it's a very serious incident. >> and then you have the british who didn't prosecute the russian agent who they say was responsible for that t poisoning, does this factory
2:46 pm
in. >> i think it does. when alexander, who you're talking about, he was a former russian spy who then defected to the united kingdom and was a foe, an outspoken critic of vladimir putin, he was poisoned by her radioactive isotope called plutonium to ten in which agents put in his tea this deadly isotope. he died a very painful, horrible, wretched death and two people were found to be guilty by british intelligence. both guys fled to russia. one of the guys is considered a hero and is a member of parliament. this type of thing where you have an incident like that back then were two guys get off scott free who seemed to be guilty of a crime, it's only a matter of time until you have a similar think tank place. >> meanwhile, regarding the latest attack on the father daughter the russian government says it wasn't us. >> they are claiming that and
2:47 pm
the russia investigation is still ongoing so you cannot pinpoint that it is something that's been carried out, but we have to admit this is a very sophisticated method of trying to kill someone. this is not taking a knife and shooting are killing someone this is the unstable nerve agent and then knowing how to deploy it. it's really not a simple thing to do so someone with some sort of level of sophistication and support was able to carry off this hideous act. >> so you are saying jonathan there will likely be more chemical attacks in the future , who can stop them and how do they stop them? >> look, i can look at a crystal ball and say tomorrow there will be another one, but if we don't get to the bottom of what's going on and hold people accountable, we are in trouble. we have a situation, i follow
2:48 pm
the united nations closely, we have a situation which russia has successfully blocked efforts to try to get an investigation into the use of chemical weapons used against billions in syria, time and time again. there is this issue in which there is impunity and as long as you don't hold people accountable with the use of this type of deadly agent, we are in trouble. it doesn't just affect these people in south korea england. it doesn't just affect the syrian people, it affects us all. this is terribly dangerous. >> does the un really have power over russia. >> it's impossible for the united nations to hold russia and syria accountable. russia is a member of the city council, they can shut down any attempt to get to the bottom of certainly what's happening in syria and the case of what happened in the united kingdom, of course this isn't something that has risen to a level of a threat to international peace and security which is the united nations, what the united nations looks at but this is very serious and we had to figure out what happened. >> so if you have the british in the u.s. for a strong allies, is there something that they may administration parliament and the trump administration can do to get
2:49 pm
together to look into this and perhaps try to put a stop to it. >> it's extremely important that whoever has carried out this attack, and we don't know, it could about a russian agent, it could've been someone, don't forget that he was an agent who actually delivered information that compromised russian secret service people in the military. he has a lot of enemies so could've been a vengeance attack but whatever it is, we can't have nerve agents out there being used as tools for assassination. that's what's concerning to you. you looking you say that's their business how they want to handle their retaliation, but to do it with nerve agents, anybody, exactly. it's no joke. we had situations in which staring gas was used in the tokyo subway you can recall,
2:50 pm
this is not a laughing matter and if we don't take this seriously and don't put a stop to this type of usage, we are in trouble as a civilization. >> jonathan, thank you for your analysis. we will see you again soon, i am sure. we'll be right back. zach! talk to me. it's for the house. i got a job. it's okay. dad took care of us.

it was a far cry from the arrogant behavior that earned him the farmer broke nickname. former drug firm executive martin shrilly breaking down in tears after being sentenced to seven years in prison for security fraud. he first made headlines in 2015 for hiking the price of a life-saving drug by 5000%. it is still unclear where he will serve his sentence. >> we are learning about new technology that is improving response to major emergencies. verizon developing what they call a flying cell phone site to provide self-service when there are disasters. brian joins us now to explain. you look at that and think white and they think about before. >> it's incredible. posture during hurricane harvey, irma they found that repairing the damage cell towers quickly, that proved

[ indiscernible ] >> it's going to be something he very special, have a lot of support. i think north korea is going to go very well. they promised they wouldn't be shooting off missiles in the meantime and they're looking to denuke. >> reporter: he said that north korea, something is going -- he thinks something very special is going on there. he also said they promised they wouldn't be shooting off missiles in the meantime and they're looking to denuke. the president signed new steel and aluminum tariffs on thursday. he spoke with france's president
3:02 pm
yesterday and the white house said they talked about the tariffs and president trump, quote, underscored his decision is necessary and appropriate to protect national security. they say, quote, both presidents discussed alternative ways to address united states concerns. leaders with the european union were quick to criticize the tariffs and have threatened counter-tariffs on u.s. goods. the administration trade officials are in brussels right now, meeting with trade leaders from europe and japan. the european union's trade commissioner tweeted earlier this afternoon, saying the e.u. needs to be excluded in the tariffs. she tweeted there is no immediate clarity on the exact u.s. procedure for ex. >>. exemption anddiscussions o next week. president trump tweeted the european union is a wonderful group of countries and they treat the u.s. poorly on trade.
3:03 pm
president trump says the tariffs on steel and aluminum are important for national security. the president signed the tariffs on thursday. they go into effect after 15 days. we tried to ask him about the european union specifically and whether or not they would be excluded from those tariffs. it was one of many questions shouted at the president as he boarded marine one and took off. he did not stop to answer that question or the others, as you just heard there, eric, the only question he answered from the press on his way to marine one was in regard to north korea. >> eric: when he went from marine one, he boarded the 757. we have great fox news viewers. i said anyone tweet us, tell us what the military version of a 757 is and that's a c-32, lots of tweets from our viewers. they know their stuff. >> arthel: that's good to know. >> eric: it's the 757 or c-32. thanks, allison. >> arthel: thank you to our

viewers. concerns arising over potential risks of president trump's face-to-face meeting with north korean leader kim joh kim jong . jillian turner has the day tailed. >> reporter: president trump is basking in the afterglow of yesterday's historic announcement. he tweeted this will be a good situation for the world, time and place to be determined. agreeing to talk is only the first step in what is guaranteed to be a long and risky process. senior officials are focused on reducing the risks by demanding concessions from pyongyang before president trump sits down at the negotiating table. >> they promised to denuclearize. they promised to stop nuclear and missile testing. they recognize we'll continue in our military exercises. >> reporter: when the president does come a face-to-face with kim jong un, their discussion will test the president's negligence other yatesing prowess and be -- negotiating prowess and be fraught with strategic risk. one risk is the intense personal
3:05 pm
dislike that trump and un have for one another and their unpredictable natures. >> the unpre debpredictability d volatility of these leaders is one of the risks that is entailed here. >> reporter: south korea and japan privately expressed concern that president trump will concede too much. and if the u.s. fails to get anything major in return, the meeting could be viewed as a propaganda victory for north korea. >> the other thing that might be happening is he's luring us into negotiations but then he will make demands that he knows we can never agree to. >> reporter: in 2000, when secretary of state madeleine albright met with kim jong un's father, the clinton administration was criticized for not exacting any major concessions from the north. the last major risk is of course failure. some republicans fear the u.s. will be left with only one good option if the talks fail. >> if you break off talks with no concessions and no move
3:06 pm
toward denuclearization, i fear the only option is a military option. >> reporter: one thing that is for certain, the whole world >> arthel: .hing >> arthel: jillian, thank you very much. >> eric: the national rifle association is suing to block the state of florida from enacting their newly signed gun control law. the group is arguing the new legislation, which raises the minimum age to buy a rifle from 18 to 21, they claim it violates the second amendment. we have a live report from washington. hi, garrett. >> reporter: florida lawmakers say the new law could have prevented last month's shooting at marjory stoneman douglas high school by blocking the 19-year-old gunman from buying the rifle he used in the attack. the nra argues that raising the minimum age to buy a gun to 21 is a violation of the second amendment. they filed a federal lawsuit against the state and said swift
3:07 pm
action is needed to prevent young adults in florida from being treated as second class citizens when it comes to the right to keep and bear arms. we're confident that the courts will vindicate our view that the ban is a blatant violation of the second amendment. many other states don't allow anyone other the age of 1 to 2o buy a gun. federal law allows anyone over 18 to buy rifles an shotguns. the governor said neither side got everything they wanted in the bill but they were able to come together to make important changes and that's something that he hopes lawmakers in washington will follow. >> i want to commend the florida legislature for getting the bill to my desk in such a short amount of time. i want to point out this is a different way operating than the
3:08 pm
typical inefficiency than we see in the federal government in washington. today should serve as an example to the entire country that government can and must move fast. >> reporter: the justice department announced it's taken the first steps towards a nationwide ban on bump stock devices which allow semiautomatic weapons to function as fully automatic. the proposed change would clarify that bump stocks fall under the definition of machine guns, which are banned under federal law. the change still has to be approved by the office of management and budget but it would make it illegal to own, sell or manufacture the devices and already a number of gun manufacturers and lobbying groups are suggesting they plan to challenge this ban in court. >> eric: thank you so much. >> arthel: u.k. home secretary amber rudd said it's too early to tell who is responsible for trying to kill a former russian spy and his daughter. the 66-year-old was convicted in russia of spying for britain back in 2005.
3:09 pm
last weekend, he and his daughter were found unconscious on a bench, poisoned with an unknown nerve agent. ryan chillcoat is in london with the latest. >> reporter: the secretary of defense in u.k. and many members of the intelligence community met today in london to discuss the investigation. meanwhile, in salisbury, about 90 miles southwest of london, troops trained to deal with an equipped to deal with chemical weapons were at a cemetery where the spy's wife and son were buried. that's because the father and daughter may have gone there, to their graves to pay their respects and contaminated the site with the nerve agent they themselves were poisoned with. video of a stretcher at the wife's grave has sparked speculation that police may exhume her body, though there's no confirmation of that. she passed away in 2012 of cancer.
3:10 pm
the supposition is that they may want to check that there wasn't anything n nepharious that happened at the time, given what happened to her husband. investigators have been going through the house. some investigators believe they may have been poisoned there, with the poison in their food or perhaps in a president that the daughter may have -- present that the daughter may have brought with her. we have gotten information fromt the man's past. he dined with his handler in the u.k. once a month. now, you'd thing tha think thats credence to the idea that he is still an active agent. however, it is common practice for handlers to meet wit in ther retirement. the british government remains
3:11 pm
reluctant to share too many details with the public. >> arthel: ryan, thank you very much for that report from london. >> eric: back here at home, looks like the military parade that president trump wants, it's a go. but we're told that something will be missing. what piece of machinery, well, it's going to be left out of the celebration. we'll tell you what and why. the president agreeing to an historic meeting with north korea's kim jong un. what a north korean escapee told us about the dictator and what he says kim will never do. plus, there's more reaction today from washington. >> our president is the right person at the right time in the right place and for the first time we may actually see a slowdown and perhaps even north korea making the decision that their nuclear weapons program is simply not worth the cost. a few years ago, me and my wife was actually saving for a house. but one day we're sitting there and we decided that, something needed to be done about what was going on in our inner-city.
3:12 pm
instead of buying a house, we decided to form this youth league. these kids mean everything to me and i just want to make sure i give something positive to do. ♪ ♪ wow, that's amazing. that's a blessing right there. to know that someone out there cares and is passionate about what we're trying to do in our communities. you excited? yes. yeah, we're gonna to look good right? yup. awesome. alright come on, bring it in man. love these guys right here. alright come on, bring it in man. i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

veterans day. there are concerns tanks would rip up the asphalt on the street. >> we have never spoken -- [ indiscernible ] >> american, that's what they called us. >> you heard the words throughout your lifetime and it became -- >> eric: that's a north korean escapee. he sat down with me this week. he's north korean and is now a student at columbian university school of general studies in new york. you heard the term that he said all north koreans are taught about us, that we are thee the y and he's convinced that kim jong un will never surrender his nuclear weapons. what can we expect from the meeting with the dictator and president trump.
3:17 pm
jim, how do you overcome decades, seven decades of antagonism. he said the game they play in north korea is you take a wooden stick and hit a representation of an american soldier. so what's your impression of the meeting between kim jong un and the president is what. >> you need to separate out the propaganda that the government uses for the citizens, to what the policy makers will feel and do. we've discussed this many times. we had negligenc negotiations i. many have failed. some have been successful. we had a suspension of long range missile tests and a cutoff on the production of nuclear materials. and so i think they know how to bargain and i think they're very astute and rational, the regime,
3:18 pm
you can measure that in how they responded over the years. so i think we need to prepare. we need to prepare for a tough negotiation and pursue that with persistence and patience. but i think the president has done something bold, something no other u.s. president would do and we really need to take advantage of that what d. >> eric: what do you think the outcome will be? what type of concrete steps do you think no north korea would e willing to concede? >> we just don't know. the best evidence we have of chairman cim' kim's personality, style and attitudes were when the south korean officials met with him. no other world leaders have seen him in pyongyang. the file on him his pretty thin. i'm reminded of the walk in the woods between president reagan and gor gorbechov. if they can decide on big goals
3:19 pm
and leave it to other officials to work out the details, i do know this, as long as they're talking, there will not be more missile tests and more nuclear tests. i think that's a good thing. i think they still need more nuclear tests. there are two possibilities. one is they go for the big home run and god knows what that looks like, and i think the other more likely possibility is you go step by step, you do something, i do something, you build some trust, you start with a freeze, then you go for constraints and then you sort of phase things in over time. >> eric: their freeze, if they freeze, they want us to withdraw the 28,500 troops that we have or stop the military exercises that we have jointly with south korea. that potentially, isn't that a potential to happen? that's what kim wants. he wants to basically take over south korea. >> i don't think north korea is in a position to take over south
3:20 pm
korea. south korean military even without u.s. support is far stronger. remember, eric, south korea is the 13th biggest economy in the world. north korea is not. south korea's the second biggest arms importer in the world. they've got a pretty robust military. the north has all that artillery aimed at seoul. if there's a war, the south koreans will win. no contest. >> eric: you just pointed out the dmz. could one step be the north koreans could pull back some of their artillery, could that be a step? >> absolutely. there are lots of things that could happen. their actions, we would fear that some of them might be reversible. but we can reverse ours. we can start up training exercises again. we can, if we started to pull down some troops, we could reintroduce them. i think both sides have a dial here that they can turn in response to the other's actions.
3:21 pm
>> eric: everyone is looking for a big thing. the president when he left the white house, he said, quote, that they want to, quote, denuke. some say kim jong un will never give up his nuclear weapons. take a listen. >> north korea uses -- [ indiscernible ] you eventually become a sacrifice to be the stronger power. the message is you have to have nuclear weapons. we will never -- >> eric: they're looking at at saddasaddam hussein, qaddafi. do you think kim jong un will surrender his nuclear weapons or as you say, these are incremental baby steps? >> that's a question i get asked all the time. here's what i say. i've been to north korea. i've met with north korean
3:22 pm
officials. i never say never when it comes to north korea. if the single leader changes his mind, than anything is possible. obviously that's not a step that's going to come up front. if it happens at awcialtion wile the final step that comes and it will be because there's been enough practice built up that they feel they can do it. from the end of the korean war for 40 years they enjoyed the deterrents they had from their conventional forces. they didn't have nuclear weapons but neither the u.s. nor south h korea invaded them. there's other ways to provide for defense without nuclear weapons. >> eric: maybe if they're assured with the regime's survival, potentially that could happen. jim walsh, good to see you. >> good to see you, eric. thank you. >> arthel: here at home, out west, tensions rising between the trump administration at the state of california over immigration. how attorney general jeff

>> eric: america's election headquarters, the midterms 2018 have started. we're waiting for a major speech from president trump. he's expected to land in pennsylvania shortly and address the crowd you see there. he's looking to rally support for rick ciccone who is neck and neck with the man on the left, democrat conner lamb. they're running for a vacancy
3:28 pm
that's in pennsylvania's 18th congressional district. we have details from the rally in moon township right now. hi, molly. >> reporter: a pretty classic trump rally here, lots of make america great hats and a lot of excited people. i spoke with one of the officials here. he said there are more than 4,000 people here. they're still squeezing them in through the doors right now. we're expecting the president to speak in under an hour. this is the 20th rally that the president has held in pennsylvania and the fifth outside of pittsburgh since he began his run for the white house in 2015. tonight has been up until this point all about the congressional candidate he is supporting, rick ciccone. he's fighting right now for the can't seavacant seat in the 18th congressional district. it's clear that the republicans want to hang onto the seem it's.
3:29 pm
the vice president, the president's daughter, kellyanne consistentwacon way have all man the district. here's what a supporter told me today. >> support trump and ciccone, basically i had 35 years in the coal mine and my son's in the coal mine -- my son's into coal mining now. they support the coal industry. i do what i can do for them. >> reporter: democrats have made this race very competitive, pinning their hopes on a young marine veteran, former federal prosecutor conner lamb. joe biden came to pennsylvania earlier this week to rally for lamb who has a slew of union backers. he's been endorsed by the pennsylvania aflcio, the largest federation of labor unions in the state. >> i am voting for conner lamb and there's multitudes of reasons why.
3:30 pm
one, his opponent has been so anti-union since he's been in office. we've tried to talk to him. every time we do we get -- you've got to corner him to get him to talk to you. >> reporter: a lot of people watching the race trying to read the tea leaves. it may give us insight into the power of union organizations and also some insight into the influence the president may have in the district. he won the district in 2016 by just shy of 20 points. it will be interesting. and the results of this race will be one to watch as we look ahead to the mid-terms. >> eric: in 20 minutes we'll have terry mcdonna, he's the top pennsylvania pollster from franklin and marshall, he'll give us his analysis of the race. >> what the mayor of oakland did the other day was a disgrace where they had close to 1,000 people ready to be gotten, ready to be taken off the streets, many of them they say 85% of
3:31 pm
them were criminals and had criminal records and the mayor of oakland went out and she went out and warned them all, scatter. >> arthel: that's president trump strongly criticizing the mayor of oakland, libby shave, r her decision to warn the city about planned i.c.e. raids. california has been sued over sanctuary cities. jerry brown said this is basically going to war. the acting i.c.e. director says california's idea is wrong. >> when you call yourself a sanctuary city, you're dangling a carrot that will cause more illegal immigration, they'll see more illegal immigration in the state of california. it's more than an enforcement issue. more people will die trying to come to this country because they think they can come to a state where they'll be shielded from immigration enforcement. >> arthel: we have a white house correspondent for dailymail.com.
3:32 pm
there's a lot going on here. what would you say is the main thing to keep an eye on and also how much is president trump's strained relationship with attorney general sessions weighing in on any decisions by the doj? >> well, democrats are certainly saying that president trump's relationship with attorney general jeff sessions is a large part of what's happening here because he's trying to impress the president with this action. there are two things that i think you should look at in this situation as we move forward. first, the actions that the administration is taking against the city of oakland. they could potentially be in another very long and protracted legal situation as they look towards the supreme court potentially for this case. then you also have to look at the action the administration could be taking against oakland's mayor, a totally separate action they're suggesting. the white house said she is under review and it's not clear exactly what that means. however, attorney general jeff sessions has suggested that they could prosecute her.
3:33 pm
>> arthel: we'll get back to that in a second in terms of the personal people named in the lawsuit. meanwhile, what about the people, the will of the people? are most people on board with their cities being a sanctuary sigh or arcity or are they conct being a sanctuary city is like putting out a welcome mat for illegal immigrants? >> that's the point that attorney general jeff sessions is making is that it might take the november election before we find out where people stand on this. if enough americans are upset or if enough americans decide to vote for democrats because they support sanctuary cities, that is something that could turn into a voting issue this year. >> arthel: the lawsuit personally mentions democratic california governor jerry grown, california's a.g. is the president putting the political vice grip on democratic policies, especially ahead of the midterms? >> well, even if that's not what the president is doing, that's certainly how it is coming off,
3:34 pm
because he is a republican and because they're democrats. but this is something that the president disagrees fundamentally with democrats and they're all democrats in this case. if we're looking at libby shaf herself and potential actions the administration could take against her, legal scholars are saying that it doesn't necessarily rise to the level of obstruction of justice. and that's what the administration would have to prove in order to take action specifically against her. >> arthel: if it doesn't rise to the level of obstruction of justice on behalf of the democratic mayor of oakland, because she warned the people about the planned i.c.e. raids, how does this play out for mayor shaf? >> it might be a popular action where she is and we know it is overall within california so politically it could play very well for her. legally, the administration could try to take action against her. attorney general jeff sessions saying yesterday, however, they haven't formally decided whether that's something they'll do.
3:35 pm
>> arthel: how long will the battle last? how heated will the fight be? who stands to win? who loses? anybody going to jail over this? >> if you look at how long that the administration has been in court for some of its other immigration related cases, you go back to that travel ban that's moving through the court still, you have daca, the deferred action for childhood arrivals moving through the court, so these are things that could be tied up, legally throughout the entire rest of president trump's first year, first tenure in office. if he were to get reelected it could continue on through then. this could be a very long court battle. >> arthel: fran chesfrancesca, o have you. >> eric: while the mayor's controversy continues, the customs and border protection agency are looking to help sway the public in favor of the president's border wall. this just one week before the president is set to inspect the design proposals for the estimated $21.6 billion project.
3:36 pm
adam housely now with the details. >> this is totally vulnerable. today's threats, like terrorism, drug trafficking, smuggling demands sensible responses. >> reporter: walls work, that's the message of a video that was released by the u.s. borders and customs protection. this is directly aiming to engage the public to support president trump's proposed border wall. >> there are few barriers, patrol roads, lights or cameras. there weren't enough agent. >> reporter: the female border agent in the video is never identified but through statistics and graphics makes the argument that in areas where walls went up, the problem of illegal immigration got significantly better, reinforcing the message from agents on the ground. >> the cross border activity has dropped and i think that's kind of the bottom line on that. >> reporter: the video is unlikely to change opposition from california lawmakers who
3:37 pm
oppose any new wall along the southern border. >> an ungodly amount of money would have to be used to be spent on a wall that would be destructive to our environment, destructive to our relationship with mexico. >> reporter: agent h eigheight l prototypes remain standing, before they decide which one will be used. the video comes a week before president trump visits the golden state for the first time, the longest wait for a sitting president in modern history. we're told trump will head to the border near san diego to inspect the wall proposals before he heads to a fundraiser in los angeles. adam housely, fox news. >> arthel: look at the left side of your screen. rick ciccone weighing in on the president's new tariffs and a big crowd there waiting for the president as he heads to the heart of the steel industry to stump for ciccone. the president's speech expected very soon. of course, we will bring that to

identity. >> eric: now we are awaiting the president's arrival in pennsylvania any moment now. he has a speech this evening at a rally in support of rick ciccone, just outside of pittsburgh. right now in the race, according to a new poll, it's razor thin, ciccone is 45%, conner lamb is 42%, all within the margin of error. for more insight, let's bring in the director of the franklin and marshall college poll, and terry is the dean of political prognostication and joins us now. terry, you really are, you know that state like the back of your hand. first, the president is expected to speak -- >> thank you. >> eric: the president is expected to speak momentarily. we'll bring that live to the viewers at home. how much do you think his visit can help tonight? >> i think it's extremely important. if you take a look at not just the poll, but you look at the
3:44 pm
emerson poll that has lamb up by 3, how many different ways can you say toss-up. here's the problem for rick ciccone at the moment. in the polls that have been done and the energy level you get when you talk to reporters who are on the ground there and others, the democrats are more enthusiastic. in a portion of allegheny county, southern and western allegheny, that's about 40% of the vote, in the entire congressional district, lamb is winning in the polls and that's particularly important among female republican voters with college educations. so we're going to look at that group of voters, plus the working class that donald trump carried significantly in 2016 and he's going to talk about tariffs. how many different times is he going to talk about bring back steel, bring back coal, talk about the tariffs and he won the election for presidency in part
3:45 pm
because of as you know wisconsin, michigan, ohio and pennsylvania and the very region of the state where he talked about the trans-pacific partnership, it's gone. nafta is being renegotiated. it's a huge issue in the district. >> eric: we're looking at the president disembarking from the c-32. he's in pittsburgh before he goes over to moon township for the rally. you hit it on the head. some republicans are concerned about the college educated women and this is a district that he won by 20%. mitt romney won by 17%. it's a completely republican district. so why -- >> you're absolutely -- go ahead. >> eric: why that stunning turnaround of such a close race? are you surprised? >> yeah, i mean, if the

democrats had run the urban, liberal democrat, you and i wouldn't even be having a conversation. this would be ciccone by 15 or 20 points. but the democrat democrats put a young, tell jeni telegenic conn. he wants to put the bad guys behind bars in a culturally conservative district, conner lamb is pro life, he's pro gun, he's pro military, he's pro union and he agrees with president trump on raising the tariffs on aluminum and of course in that district, importantly, steel. >> eric: let me talk about conner lamb. >for a second.you're right, he'y
3:47 pm
pelosi. he'll vote against nancy pelosi. you have a conservative, moderate type of democrat who backs the second amendment and he hunts himself. here he is with joe biden earlier this week. >> you all know this. we live in a time when everybody is so divided. i couldn't be happier to be on stage today with a leader that everybody likes. every likes him. [ cheering and applause ] >> eric: you're right, he's not one of the leftist, progressive type of democrats. ciccone, who is a state representative, here he is talking about the tariffs also during the campaign. >.>> our steelworkers can compee with anybody in the world as long as the playing field is level, but that playing field has been slanted. president trump's just trying to restore some balance to the playing field here and i want to help him.
3:48 pm
i'm ready to go down there and be his wing man and help him implement that agenda. >> eric: that was earlier this morning with david asman on caputo live this morning. he says he was trump before trump is trump. how do you see this race shaking out? >> if trump can get his electorate excited, particularly the working class voters in green, and westmoreland counties or the four counties in the district, then i think ciccone can pull it out. but they have to overcome this democratic enthusiasm that's way up because of the nature of the lamb campaign. here's what's critically important. lamb had not turned this into a national election. he's not a trump fan but he doesn't go around the district beating up on donald trump. he doesn't want to do national interviews. he wants to stay focused on the 18th congressional district,
3:49 pm
on the issues that he says matter to voters and importantly, his campaign says, and take this with a grain of salt, that the volunteers i and conner lamb have visited 100,000 houses, knocking on doors, putting up the yard signs. he wants to stay way far away from the pol polarizing aspectst we see in national politics, putting him forward as the local candidate on local issues. >> eric: when i here people talking about this is a referendum on the president, terry's view is not so vast. terry, thank you for joining us. we'll talk to you on tuesday night. >> arthel: still president trump's tariffs could play a part in the upcoming special election. we're looking live at moon township, pennsylvania. this is where a crowd of about 4,000 are waiting the arrival of president trump as he stumps for republican candidate rick

classified areas in a nuclear submarine. now a former navy sailor becomes the second person to receive a pardon from president trump, that after arizona sheriff joe arpaio. the president linked it to the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. we have a report from los angeles, with more on the pardon. hi, will. >> reporter: when president trump takes the stage, you may hear him elaborate on why he is one happy man this weekend. in 2009, he was serving aboard u.s.s. alexandria when he snapped a handful of pictures of confidential parts of the ship. he says he took the pictures as mementos but according to the authorities he later tried to destroy evidence. he served one year and became a felon, a point president trump brought up frequently on the campaign trail, while lambasting hillary clinton and her use of a private e-mail server. now he has a clean slate. >> i was at work as a garbage
3:55 pm
man and my wife texted me and said you've been pardoned. i thought she was messing with me. so i said okay, yeah, sure, and then she sent me a picture of the actual signed pardon and i couldn't believe it. it was pretty amazing. >> reporter: president trump tweeting congratulations to christian soucia, a man who served proudly in the navy. now you can go out and have the life you deserve. >> he was 22 years old at the time of his offenses and served out his 12 month sentence. he's been recognized for his dedication, skill and patriotic spirit. >> reporter: now that he's been pardoned, the first thing he did, asked for permission to cut off his ankle monster. >> eric: thank you so much, -- ankle monster. >> eric: thank you so much. we're waiting for president trump's arrival in pennsylvania. hwe expect a speech.
3:56 pm
he is there supporting republican congressional candidate rick ciccone, as we discussed, who is facing conor lamb. terry mcdonna of the franklin and marshall university college and founder of the keystone poll rejoins us. terry, unbelievable thing about this is that this district is going to disappear, in a few months, because of the democrat dominated supreme court decision. >> one of them is going to end up in a slightly more republican district and one in a slightly more democratic district. you're exactly right. they won't live in the district which is kind of strange. we're going through this pivotal election which will tell us much about what could happen in the general election in this year, yet the district, these two candidates aren't even going to be running, quote, as incumbents in it. i mean, it's a amazing when you
3:57 pm
think about that. >> arthel: terry, you mentioned -- this is arthel, by the way. you mentioned how you feel that the democrats are running conor lamb, he's a good looking, 33-year-old former marine captain and you feel that's playing a role in his attraction. how do you feel about -- you already know that president trump who is waiting to take the stage in moon township, pennsylvania, he'll be stumping for k ciccone and we're talking about nationally now because you mentioned how conor lamb is trying to make politics all local but you've got president trump who is losing some support of educated white women. you mentioned that particular demographic to eric earlier. could they take a turn against the republican party in that area because of the way tim murphy left office? >> listen, there's no doubt if conor lamb wins this race he
3:58 pm
can't win it alone by just making in roads with the working class. there aren't sufficient numbers of them. he has to do it by running well in allegheny county, the southern portion of that county and the western part of it, and that's where you have a fair number of these republican college educated women voters that if he does well among them, and that's one of the reasons why this race is a toss-up, as we speak now. and back to your point, what ciccone wants to do is to nationalize it and to use trump and to say that lamb is not -- oh, he's really not what he projects to be. he's really not what he says he is. he's really the nancy pelosi liberal. in fact, one of the commercials has the picture of the two of them together in it, trying to link lamb to the liberal democrats. each has a different strategy.
3:59 pm
>> arthel: lamb, you to your po, he's keeping his politics local and he already said he wouldn't vote for nancy pelosi. he thinks there needs to be new democratic leadership in the house. how does that square in terms of what they're saying, putting him arm in arm with the liberal democrats. >> right now it seems to be working. that's one of the reasons the election is tight. the other way to think about it is green county, which is one of the four counties that abuts west virginia, so speaking of another individual who is already in congress, his name is joe mansion, you begin to see the situation lamb would have if he wins being a moderate democrat in obviously a very liberal democratic caucus in the house, and who knows what that's likely to be. but he can't move much beyond that should he be elected or he won't last long. i was going to say he won't last long in that district but he's
4:00 pm
not going to be in that district anyway which is how crazy this has gotten. >> eric: we're out of time. you could see the democrats going -- maybe becoming more conservative and liberal. >> arthel: julie banderas picks up the coverage now on fox report. >> julie: president trump about to take the stage in pennsylvania as he looks to energize supporters ahead of a highly contested special election and it's a tight race everyone. i'm julie banderas. good evening. this is the fox report. the president holding a make america great rally again at pittsburgh international airport in honor of republican rick ciccone, the state lawmakers is locked in a neck and neck battle with democrat conor lamb for the house seat vacated by tim murphy. the president is hoping to tip the scales in a district he won by 20 points in the 2016 presidential election. this as ciccone voices support for the president's new tariffs which could have a major
