saturday is saint patrick's day. brian: chris chulo, he drops everything nit morning. right, credits. [[buzzer] ains ages here did you go, dropping the mike. big news, i would say probably the one thing we all worry about the most are our finances, right, our money. how. brian: i worry about ainsley. ages ages you worry about mine, as you should. of the president said phase 1 was tax cuts, now he has hinted around there was going to be phase 2. he hinted around there would be phase ii and save you money. >> this was about the first place i announced that we were going to be asking for massive tax cuts and everybody said it will never happen and we got it not only passed but bigger than anything ever passed in the history of our country. and we are now going for a phase 2. we are going for a phase 2 spaz 2.

2 help companies and something very special. >> he was at a business round table in st. louis at the boeing plant. they called in 10 different businesses to talk about how the tax cuts have helped them. this is the second time within a week where he has talked about this phase 2 thing. nobody ever heard about it except yesterday kevin brady the house ways and means committee was on fox business network and he was talking about phase ii. he would get it going. is it a branding thing to getting people to think about it or is it simply the technical correction bill that we talked about a couple days ago because there is currently some loopholes in it but it could be the fact that currently these tax cuts expire after 10 years. the whole thing, phase ii would be make them permanent. brian: possibly. maybe up to 2025. that would certainly be a relief after the bush tax cuts all things people talked about extend the bush tax cuts. that was the ongoing debate.

president obama did extend them but raised them on the upper tier. this president knocked them down a couple of points. i also think it's interesting, too republicans looking at what happened in pennsylvania and they thought between the tariffs and the tax cuts, pennsylvania would benefit and they didn't to the point where it produced what seems to be a special election victory. it looks as though saccone is going to lose. they wonder are the first phase pee terring out that might be a worry. the next economic -- chief economic advisor for the president of the united states is going to be larry kudlow. he started as a democrat. worked for the reagan administration and fed and became known as cnbc commentator and columnist. here is he talking about people getting tax cut. >> individuals deserve a permanent break. that's very important. elon is right. talk about capital gains,

possibly lowering the rate, but possibly indexing them for inflation, which is something many of us have argued for years. is that your first agenda item make the most of the tax cut to show what the benefits are to everyone. >> it's going to be one of them. brian: i think he is going to be the perfect person for the president. i think he is not going to be there to agree with him but be there to debate with him. ainsley: why do you think that? brian: i have seen them together. got a changes to know larry kudlow, saw his show two weeks ago. i think they were almost -- they look at each other almost as peers. they respectfully disagree you but they respectfully with each other. here he walks into a situation where the president could feel very comfortable. ages ages advised him during the campaign, too. steve: indeed. of the big economic question

right now is the president's tariffs. larry kudlow has been very critical of it that's the reason gary cohn left for mr. larry kudlow to come in with circumstantial the idea that tariffs are bad, that's going to present an interesting dynamic. we are going to talk to stuart and kellyanne conway, the president of the united states is going to be joining us at 8:00 a.m. brian: i could add to that, he says fundamentally i'm against tariffs. tariffs are taxes. he says i'm starting to see what the president's vision is, and that is use it as a negotiating tactic. steve: right. brian: phil merkel says let's hear what the president has to say first before talking about retribution. this is moving the theory forward they have been stopped in 8 rounds. he said listen, i'm going to put these tariffs on hold while reneg united states nafta. he is beginning to see push back. ainsley: yesterday e when the president was at boeing. he invite you had business leaders to come and sit around round table and talk about these tax cuts and

talk about the economy. then have you nancy pelosi who is calling those bonuses crumbs. you have hillary clinton over in india saying that she won in the wealthy areas. guess what? the president went to middle america. and he found out what's important to them and how those tax cuts are really helping their families. there was a lady who works in the cal cafeteria at ozark university. she was basically brought to tears when she thanked the president for that extra bonus. those crumbs that made a big difference in her life. listen. >> i work in the cafeteria at college of the ozark alongside the hard working students. and i am very grateful for the bonus when the college gave it to us. and i put mine in savings for my retirement and i want to thank you, mr. president and god bless you. >> thank you very much. that's very nice. steve: how great is that.

dressed for work, wearing the uniform. she was brought there by the president of the college of the ozark. and the reason she said that she works there alongside the hard-working students is because we have talked about this in the past. the college of the ozarks they -- students don't pay tuition. all the students work on campus. and she works with the kids. and she was just so moved that her president would bring her to that event at boeing yesterday to meet the president who put money in her pocket. brian: a lot of corporations. give you an example. last friday i was at who one of the affiliates in ohio owned by cox. it was announced every cox employee was getting $2,000 as a bonus. ainsley: what was the reaction? brian: it was huge. it doesn't matter if you are management or every day worker search getting $2,000. ainsley: can you tell this lady, like some of you, i think everyone in america is

going through some sort of a challenge. that extra money can help. whether or not you are taking care of elderly parents or putting your kids through school or trying to pate bills or give your kids extra candy at easter, the crumbs matter. they really do. brian: the other big story on monday was the conclusion of the house investigation on the intelligence committee of any type of collusion into what the trump campaign and the russians. that conclusion was wrapped up. the pages were released. but the democrats have not stopped. they will not wrap up this investigation. adam schiff says there is two reasons. we have rumors -- we want to see another 30 witnesses and we hear that there is a transcript of the conversation between comey and the president. that top secret thing where james comey famously said lordy, i hope there are tapes. and then he also found out he said i also hear that there was going to be a trump tower in moscow that was being financed by a sanctioned russian held bank. and we need to follow up on that and see if it's true.

the bank has denied this and the trump campaign has denied. this those are the two reasons he wants to keep this open. steve: so mark levin joined sean hannity last night talking about the road map that the democrats have to keep this russia thing going for a long time. >> it is schiff who is a propagandist for the russian government even though the republicans on the committee said there is no collusion. he mentioned it's a long list, rings priebus, steven miller, k.t. mcfarland, sean spicer, kellyanne conway, family members, on and on and on. let me tell you who this shrill for russia doesn't want. he doesn't want hillary clinton. he didn't say we should subpoena hillary clinton even though it was the hillary clinton campaign that laundered money through a law firm in this fusion g.p.s. to do, what? to corroborate and collude with the russians with their phony dossier. why is that that, mr. schiff? sings we know they colluded. he didn't ask the former head of the d.j.

where that that money come from the money they laundered through that law firm to fusion gps to the russians. that's something he doesn't want to talk about. steve: 21 page document that mr. schiff has put out. that's going to be the road map that the democrats are going to follow right up to the election. brian: right. my hope is in two weeks we get something from the senate which will be a little bit less partisan and then soon robert mueller, dare i say, wrap things up which would marginalize someone like adam schiff a political operative. steve: there is no there there. ainsley: are you sick of this narrative? what do you want this administration or the democrats to focus on? steve: sure. brian: what did you think of jillian this morning? write us. ainsley: excellent job. that interview with the little boy was so cute. jillian: we have had interview with the little boy who has a lemonade stand and donated $7,000 to fallen officer. brian: instead of going to sea world. jillian: incredible. follow up on other stories

kudlow was a early supporter and credits trump for growing economy first year in office. ainsley: who is he and what can we expect for new role host of varney and company stuart varney. >> i met him in the early 1980s when he was working for the reagan administration. larry kudlow is a good man, case closed. he is good professionally and a fine man personally. and i have known him all of these years. he stands for growth. cut taxes, grow the economy, return to prosperity. he was saying that in the 1980s with reagan. he is saying precisely that today. brian: he worked on the advisory board for freddie mac and omb under reagan. goes to bear stearns and worked for art for a while. people want to marginalize him cnbc commentator. they're forgetting about his resume that made him a great commentator. >> he knows business and policy inside and out. i think now he is going to

the white house as top economic policy advisor, i think he is going to be one of the people who fashions a new trade relationship with china. because that's now the focal point of trade debate new relationship with china. that's what they are going to fashion. by the way, one of the complangts against china is that they steel our intellectual property. they steal our software from the likes of microsoft, for example. well this afternoon bill gates, the founder of microsoft he will be at the white house for private meeting with president trump. i think this is all involved in a new trade negotiation relationship with china. steve: listen to this. here he is talking about just that story. >> i must say as someone who doesn't like tariffs, i think china has earned a tough response. not only from the united states, i mean, a thought that i have is that the united states could lead a coalition of large trading partners and allies against

china or to let china know that they are breaking the rules left and right. steve: they are breaking the rules. he is going to use the same thing that trump is using. that is use tariffs as leverage. >> as a negotiating point. that's where the two agree. larry kudlow does not like tariffs. but he has agreed with the president that they can be used as a negotiating point. and that's where the two come together. ainsley: what about his personal life? >> larry kudlow it is widely known was addicted to drugs and alcohol many years ago. over 20 years ago. his career collapsed. but he beat it that's why i say he is a fine man. he has been clean and sober for 23 years and inspiration to many others who were in the same situation. brian: especially when you talk to families, the opioid epidemic is destroying families in america. maybe there is somebody there that can be an. ainsley: he converted -- he grew up in jewish family and converted to catholicism.

mortgage life insurance. >> you don't buy mortgage life insurance unless you are unnational. it's one can you get without a medical. 20 times more expensive than traditional term. just get your proper term insurance in place which would be 10 to 12 times your income on 15 to 20 year level term insurance. that will take care of paying for the home. ainsley: this question is for you, chris. carla from california. she says i am debt-free and single mom of two. i feel behind on my kids college fund. how should i invest $7,500 tax returns. >> single moms i have a special place in my heart for. i love she is being intentional. first thing i do is encourage her, really if she is already saving for retirement, that's great. because have you got to chase down your dreams. she could use that tax refund towards saving for the kids college. it's not her job to pay for her kids to go to school. she needs to teach them, love them and raise them. they did k. go to school, work full time go. to school at night.

they can work. that's not her obligation. ainsley: that's good advice. erin says i'm starting a business. should i start services for free to start my portfolio or should i charge at discounted rate? >> here's a thing. there is a myth when you starting out in business that you have to have a portfolio or you have to have experience to get that first customer. you don't. you really need to be able to convince people that you serve them. can you solve their problems and meet their needs. if she wants to offer services at discounted rate or for free she can. it's your choice as a business owner. i don't want her to buy in to the idea that she can't have full paying customers until she has a portfolio. because she can. she just needs to be able to show people and convince people through her marketing and selling that she can get the job done. ainsley: good deal. good advice. more like following your gut. anthony, this is from philip in indiana. he says i'm a college student with 9,000ness student loans which are in deferment. should i still make illustrates payments. >> no. stop right there. i want you to cancel the rest of your college.

once you graduate college we will come back and take care of student loans. set aside $500 for the emergency fund. go look at some grants and scholarships and go by your school financial aid office and see if they can have any scholarships available. after that focus on finishing college and then after that we are going to take care of the student loans. ainsley: ken, this one is for you. this is mary in new jersey. i'm 55 and i have been a real estate agent for 23 years. is it too late for me to go to medical school and follow my passion? >> i don't think it's too late if you can cash flow it or you have got that cash set aside to go after it but one of the things i would encourage mary to do is look at all the different things can you do with that microbiology degree. research field. other roles within the health care industry. education. i want her to think about what she does best and what she loves most. there are many, many roles in those career fields with microbiology degree. i don't think medical school has to be the only option here for her to get out of real estate and do what she

really loves. >> good for her. life is short. >> she can do it. ainsley: that's right. that's true. sings y'all are a diverse group and have so much history or background when it comes to our finances, tax cuts, do you think they are crumbs? have they helped people? >> oh, absolutely they have. no question about it take $100 million and two choice give it to the individuals or give it to the government to waste? which one can s. going to stimulate the economy the most? it's a no-brainer. you don't have to have a brain to figure out. real people do a better job stimulating the economy with own freaking money than send it to the black hole known as washington, d.c. of course it's stimulating the economy. ainsley: did you hear the worker at the university. >> absolutely. everywhere we go we are running into companies all over america giving out bonuses and also seeing people giving -- anticipating increased tax returns. and they are thinking about what they're going to do with their money. isn't this amazing?

ainsley: right, it is. brian was at cox radio yesterday and he said they made the announcement every employee is getting $2,000. that's a lot of money. >> nice. cha ching. >> and it should be that way. and it kind of defeats the myth of everybody is going to hoard money and rich people are going to put in a cave somewhere or something. by the way it's theirs. if they wanted to do that they could. but they don't. you know, you go into the marketplace. we are in our company going to be able to hire more people because my net profit is going to be better. ainsley: it's true. helping businesses. they will come back and answer more financial questions from awful you. in the meantime, united under fire now. you probably heard of this story letting that dog die in overhead bin. this morning brand new trouble for the airline. the left blasting republicans claiming attacks on nancy pelosi are sexist. what about all the attacks on conservative women? diamond and silc has been on the receiving end of some of that hate. we love these ladies. they will join us live next. we want to wish a happy

ainsley: what do you think about that? >> well, there is nothing sexist about calling nancy pelosi out when she say that what the president did, when he pushed these for tax cuts, we have more money in our pockets call it crumbs it helps people pay more bills. we need to call nancy pelosi out when she tell us all we need to do is go down there and mow the grass and that will cut out the illegal aliens crossing our borders. we need to call her out. >> that's right. >> you have people like kellyanne conway who is conservative. we are conservative, and we are always attacked on a daily basis. and i don't hear the left crying out about that. >> that's right. >> so, please, give us a break. it's not sexist. call nancy pelosi out and any of them if they do the wrong thing or say the wrong thing or say something that's stupid. >> that's right. >> or derogatory towards we the american people. >> and what should also be said is not confirming president trump nominee yesterday the lady that he wants to put at the cia, the head of the cia not confirming her because of

some stuff from back in the past, when she was on the job getting paid to do her job and she helped save a lot of american lives, that should be said. >> that's right. steve: more hypocrisy. >> that's right. steve: third story robert deniro one of the great actors of the american cinema, you know that in iewg he referred to the president as a flat out blatant racist. and then later an f word and then another f word. and then he was at an l.a. charity event on tuesday. and this is his new quote. he says look at our president. he made it through the university of pennsylvania so he was exposed to a quality education. but he is still an idiot. of course, he did have to overcome the curse of growing up rich and spoiled. all right. diamond and silk, what would you like to say to robert deanywhere row. >> first of all, he should be arrested for communicating threats. i know he communicate add

threat because he said he wanted to hit the president as well. we would say allegedly in case we don't have it correctly. >> he is the real idiot. >> yes, he is a true idiot. evidence is the reason why our young people are acting crazy and being disrespectful. >> he is? how is he responsible? >> when you see these hollywood elites. >> that's right. >> the ones that the young people look up to and disrespecting the highest office in the land. >> that's right. >> and disrespecting our president, they think it's okay to be disrespectful. that's why you had one of them yesterday pulling down the american flag. you see what i'm talking about? it's time for robert deanywherdid idi nero.the veto g for him. arrest him for communicating threats. brian: all right. if we want to communicate with you, we can go to greensboro, north carolina on sunday, may 6th and pittsburgh on april 8th.

steve: the department of justice taking causal court over sanctuary laws. >> california, we have a problem a series of actions and events has occurred here that directly and adversely impact the work of our federal officers. >> the big question is are california's sanctuary policies unconstitutional. ainsley: here to answer that and more is fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. judge: we have three california state laws that the justice department is

challenging. one law says if you work for the government in california, local, county, regional or state, and ice comes knocking on the door, you shall not cooperate. as frustrating as that is, in my opinion and the courts have upheld this, the state of california can regulate its employees. second statute. this is really outrageous. if you own a private business and ice comes knocking, you shall not cooperate that is blatantly unconstitutional. the state of california can't run your business and tel.third statute, civil war the state of california can inspect federal facilities for health and safety. that means state agents can go into federal facilities where they are holding immigrants and say we don't like the way you are treating this person. we are going to take him with us. that is also unconstitutional in my opinion but it will take a little while for the courts to get there.

brian: california is going to -- the u.s. government is going to win that one. >> i think the u.s. government is going to win two of three. the one where they tell private owners you can't cooperate and one they're they say they have the right to go in federal facilities and interfere with the management of them. steve: these are all immigration issues. the federal government is in charge of enforcing immigration. not the states. >> i can't tell you how many times the supreme court has ruled that wait a minute but the supreme court has also ruled that the feds can't cam man deer the states, meaning the feds can't force state employees to help the feds enforce federal law. they can bring in all the federal agents and all the federal resources they want, but they can't say to the california state police or the new jersey state police going to stop doing your job and start working for us. ainsley: this is just lewd ludicrous. >> this is the opposite of texas. texas said to everyone who works for the government, local, county, regional and state. if ice comes knocking, you will cooperate.

that statute was just upheld by the united states court of appeals for the fifth circuit, which the federal appeals court for that part of country. brian: shouldn't that matter when you are deciding on this in california. >> basic rule shut legislature gets to determine how its employees are going to work. the california legislature said when ice comes calling you work for under the circumstances, you look the other way. the texas legislature says when ice comes calling you help them out. ainsley: federal laws are federal laws don't they trump the state laws? >> they generally do. think about it this way, this is the regulation of employees, and federal courts will defer to have the states how they want their employees to work. steve: they found a loophole. >> california and texas are like in two different countries. brian: by the way should do what andrew jackson did keep the troops outside of south carolina saying unless do you what i say i'm sending the troops in. judge: you like that stuff, don't you? did you write a book about this. brian: i will see with you diamond and silk on tour. judge: they are fabulous.

♪ steve: thousands of students across the country walked out of class in what was originally billed as a memorial to the 17 victims of parkland high school. quickly turned into a march on gun control. our next guest is a mother who wrote an op-ed about it titled parents are being fed miss information about the national gun control walkout. here to explain is the author of that op-ed julie. good morning to you.

>> good morning. steve: how are parents being mislead about what that march was all about. >> parents are being told that the walkout yesterday was a memorial to the 17 victims of the school shooting in parkland. and what frustrated me was that if you look at the website of the organizers of the national school walkout they were very clear that this walkout was to pressure congress to pass restrictive gun laws. i think a lot of parents weren't aware of that and i have a feeling that many probably wouldn't have allowed their children to participate in that if they had known. steve: sure. here's a little bit of a mission statement from their website. quote: students and allies are organizing the national school walkout to demand congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence pass federal gun reform legislation. you are absolutely right on that. here is the thing, julie. if you're a parent and you know that your kids are going to go out for a memorial, i don't know that anybody would have a problem with that. but because it is about gun

control, which so polarizes this nation, it's a political thing and parents should probably have the opportunity to o op. their kids out if they don't want them involved. >> many schools said it is optional. they didn't have to do it. manage the pressure your child is alone in the classroom half of his class stands up and walks out. we all understanding that peer pressure is an issue. what is sad because this was billed as a memorial to the 17 victims of park land, it made it look even worse if you remains in your seat. steve: sure. the thing is my family, we knew the true intentions of this and we didn't want our children to participate for that reason. steve: the schools teamed up with the march organizers because they coordinated the walkout. which is about gun control. >> yeah in my own school in alexandria, virginia, they actually allowed special permission slipping to be

use sod that more kids could be pulled out with their parents not present. normally a patient has to be present to sign child out. my school created special accommodations for this. i wonder if they would do a special accommodation if it was a right leaning protest. i'm doubtful on that. steve: you are probably right. is this acceptable use of school funds because ultimately your taxes paid for it. >> right. absolutely. and, again, i think this isn't the role of schools. i mean, i guess i'm old fashioned. i think school is for learning. school should be a place where kids feel comfortable. steve: sure. >> and comfortable to discuss things. this certainly was an unfortunate misstep, i think. i think schools getting involved in this and helping to coordinate was not a good use of their time. steve: the good news is the 407 to 10 stop school violence act. it was bipartisan and passed through yesterday. thank you joining us live.

first time we talked about it, nobody had ever heard about it. but then yesterday, at boeing, where he is in front of business leaders from throughout missouri all benefiting from the tax cuts, he talked about phase 2. he mentioned kevin brady. and, later kevin brady was quoted on fox business saying yep, we are working on something. if you missed the president, here's his comment from the boeing factory floor. >> this was about the first place i announced that we were going to be asking for a massive tax cuts and everybody said it will never happen. and we got it not only passed but bigger than anything ever passed in the history of our country u and we are now going for a phase 2. we're actually going for a phase 2 which will help in addition the middle class will help companies and it's going to be something, i think, very special. >> we will see. certainly, another tax cut. especially put mid terms looming. might help to benefit the

country. let's talk about the person that would have to implement a lot of that. that's larry kudlow going to be the president's chief economic advisor taking over for gary cohn. he began with a rich background. started as democrat antiwar protester. he obviously changed as he entered into work for the new york fed and went on to work for the roneld reagan administration omv and came back and work for bears stearns. went through a period of time where he talks openly about his addiction, overcame in and then worked his way back and became as many people now know one of the premier commentators in all of business news. and is he very successful radio show as well. and him and the president have had a long-term relationship. and that explains why he is going to get the job. however, they don't agree on everything. ainsley: they don't. they have been friends for a long time. he advised him along the way throughout the campaign. he said these tax cuts are so important to individuals, he knows that you are stressed out about money.

he knows you are trying to put food on the table. you wanting to pay for elderly parents or put your kids through college. he wants to make these tax cuts permanent and that's the first thing he is going to work on, listen. >> individuals deserve permanent break. that's the very important. elon is right. i will add some more to it. talk about capital gains, possibly lowering the rate. but possibly indexing for inflation, which is something many of us have argued for years. >> is that your first agenda item to make the most of the tax cuts the administration has already passed to show what the benefits are to everyone? >> it's going to be one of them. steve: there have you larry over at his tv home at cnbc for a little while longer. perhaps that is what phase 2 is. phase 2 is making these individual tax cuts that were cut with the big law that went through a couple months ago making them permanent. that would be good for all of us. we will talk to kellyanne conway, counselor to

president trump live at 8:00 a.m. and ask if she knows more about phase 2. brian: also, we will ask about, too, some other shakeups. there is rumors of changes with the president's cabinet. john kelly, general mcmaster could be out. and also shulkin who is running the v.a. and in to some personal turbulence lately he could be out. i would hate to see mcmaster and kelly leave especially at a time they are working sensitive issues looking at chemical weapons in syria. and what is happening in north korea and need to come up with coherent policy one-on-one summit in may. ainsley: we'll ask kellyanne conway about that coming up on our show. the president was praising the house for passing the stop school violence act. what's in that act $500 million in grant money over the next 10 years to focus on several things, training the schools to communicate better with law enforcement so they can make their schools safer and find out the potential any

potential crimes that could happen they will be able to look at criminals also create anonymous reporting system for threats of school violence. you look at what happened down in florida. some dots were not connected had people just spoken up and then the feds or local authorities happened. he said today the house took major steps towards securing our schools by paglianoing the stop school violence act. we must put the security of america training parkland can't ever happen again. the house agrees with the president. brian: i think senator blumenthal and lindsey graham are moving for a piece of legislation that would allow states to move preemptively should nikolas

cruz start talking aggressively. schools express concern they will be able to move. situation where the president famously said worry about due process second. this is what they are saying, this guy, usually men, this young man could potentially kill somebody, kill a spouse, well, tear up a school, we are going to be able to empower law enforcement to act that way. i think that is going to be key. i think connecticut is doing something similar. they are saying it's successful. ainsley: gun issue, that's ongoing debate. this will make the school safe immediately. this is the house's version. senate is working on their version, too. steve: meanwhile we have been talking about this. you saw some of the images yesterday. it was national school walkout. this was an event originally to commemorate the 17 -- it lasted 17 minutes. one minute for each person killed at parkland. however, it was organized by the youth empowerment part of the women's march on washington. same people who did that.

and ultimately, it is a political event. because, what they were trying to do was trying to pressure washington in to more gun controls. if you missed some of what the democrats said yesterday, we got a little montage. listen to this. >> people are sick and tired of gun violence and the time is now. for all of us together to stand up to the nra. [chanting] enough is enough. enough is enough. >> we are all moved by your eloquent and your fearless insistence on action to prevent gun violence. thank you for bringing your urgency to this fight, to the doorstep of america. brian: she fruitlessly tried to get a chant going and the crowd ignored her right after that. i'm amazed that

kids are active. i think everybody is horrified over the last 20 years. every three months looking at another horrific shooting. although broward county is going to stand out as one of the worse. however, in the big picture, logic tells you it should be security that should be part of this conversation where most of the protests were all about taking aim, pun intended, at the nra. i'm wondering where that comes from with a bunch of 14 and 15-year-olds. steve: ultimately, it was about gun control. and the schools organized it with the backers of this. it became a political event. a lot of people didn't realize that when they watched the live images yesterday. we had diamond and silk on about a half an hour ago. they are big trump supporters. they say, essentially, that the political left using these students all across america to push an agenda. they didn't like it. >> it's sad to seat left use these young people. >> yeah. >> for their own political agenda. >> um-huh. >> and i think that what i would have liked to have seen is them marching

against bernie sanders who was standing there with all of his armed men around him that had guns. >> that's right. >> that's what they should have been doing or marching against some of these democratic officials that live in think cities that have ran them down in the ground. >> yes. >> and are not concerned about the gun violence that's even happening in their communities. steve: you know. we just had a woman by the name of julie gun lock with us. she said, look, the school coordinated with it. and she said what other political causes does your school get involved with? i mean, clearly, you know, this is a polarizing issue across the country. a lot of people look at parkland and they said that guns should be locked down. others say, look, some dots were not connected by the feds. they had the chance to stop it and they dropped the ball. ainsley: 3,000 schools participated. 185,000 students participated. brian: the way i understanding it with my school i have one ninth greater and 11th grader

separate schools. the high school was told go in the back of the building, no science, just go out 17 minutes and, you know, keep your thoughts basically to yourself. someone to the front of the school held up signs and they got themselves in trouble. ninth grade they stayed indoors because the weather was so bad. i think it's fantastic to give a tribute to the 17 children who lost their lives. ainsley: maybe it will send a message to people who are not so good, you know, future attackers. brian: i just wish some of the cops that are guarding our schools in my case it is, they are allowed to carry. they spend 40 years learning to use a gun, fighting all of a sudden they retire they are not allowed to carry guns in their schools. i hope that comes to an end. steve: that's what the president has been talking about. hardening the schools. 7:11 in new york city time for headlines. jillian: happy thursday. get you caught up on other stories we are following. two navy pilots killed after their jet crashed in the water during a training flight off key west. a source tells fox news the f-18 super hornght was flying on one engine when it

college fund. college is very important to you. you joined the army national reserves so that you could go to the university of -- or alabama state university. ultimately because you knew how important education was. >> absolutely. my brother asked me as a high school student would you like to attend college? i said yes. he said how do you plan to pay for it? i started to ponder that thought in my mind. he at the time was in the military and encouraged me. i joined the army reserves. it was an absolute great decision. i say that it's the best decision of my life. >> we heard the president of boeing yesterday say that tens of thousands of veterans are employed by boeing. nobody got bonuses at boeing. instead they used the funds from the tax cut for education and veterans assistance for the employees. that's really important, isn't it?

>> >> absolutely important. what i liked is they used crowd sourcing for employees to directly get their how we would like to get funsdz invested. feedback received 40,000 employees ranged from technological development training courses to rotational programs. personally i would like to seat company take training while working as well. so a great opportunity there achted i really appreciate boeing soliciting the decisions. >> i'm sure boeing was listening. i know the president was listening to you yesterday. hazel, i it manager at boeing in st. louis. hazel, thank you very much. and congratulations for tell your story to the president yesterday. >> thank you. steve: you bet. all right. 7:20 now in new york city. actor sean penn writing a

for so long, they are really doing a job. ainsley: what do the agents who protect the border daily think of president trump's efforts to secure our border. joining us now is u.s. border patrol agent sergio, he also served 10 years in the u.s. army and worked at the dhs. he details his journey from being a migrant worker. coming from a family of migrant workers all the way to becoming a soldier. in this book right there it's called proud america. sergio, thanks for being with us. >> thank you for having me. ainsley: brian was on the border and met you. you told him about your book. i went to the border a few weeks later and met you then. >> yes. ainsley: your first line of defense on our border down in the valley, you grew up there tell us your story and if a wall works. >> so, i believe fox news released or aired the video while i was at work last week. i can say personally they do work. it has to be a combination of the infrastructure, access roads to be able to access the traffic that we

have to counters or that we counter on a daily basis, technology and personnel. brian: that's the combination. but you need portions of this wall built right away. and i think kristin, the home land security's secretary nielsen. she was saying you need 1.8 million to start to finish off certain areas. wide open in the el paso section. >> el paso, i really can't speak to el paso and how much they need or require there. i work in the rio grand valley sector which is down in the southern tip of texas. ainsley: what's the biggest challenge there? what do you need? >> we do need that combination, right; the infrastructure, the access roads of technology and personnel. ainsley: tell us how you became a border agent and what your story is, your background. >> so i grew up a migrant worker. i come from a family of mexican immigrants. i grew up a migrant worker because i was raised by my grandparents. my mom lived in mexico entire life. she didn't become a resident

alien until i left in 2003. so, having been raised by my grandparents in texas, they were migrant workers themselves. i had to start working in the field sings the age of 7. from the age of 7 all the way through the end of high school pretty much, i worked nut fields to break that family cycle, which is very tough to do, i joined the military. and i served 10 years in the u.s. army. in those 10 years i deployed to bosnia. saw some things there and did some things there. after leaving the military, i said i need to continue my federal service, right? i was already proud to be a soldier. i wanted to continue serving my country. and what better agency than the u.s. border patrol. brian: you are a citizen. >> yes, sir. brian: were you able to reach back and part of chain migration bring people here? >> the only person i petitioned for was my mom. ainsley: how has your family reacted to this? i know you wrote the book. your story is incredible. army border agent, overcame addiction to alcohol. awarded a foreign medal of

honor. you are an inspirational speaker. you are an author. i want to ask you why this title, proud american and what your mom's reaction was to you becoming a border agent. >> so, with regards to my mom's reaction and at least to the writing of the book. the book itself became therapeutic process for me. my mom only person in my life. i was an only child. when she passed away, i felt completely alone. i didn't know how to express that especially with the fact or knowing that she didn't know half of my life. she didn't know everything did i in the military and know the things i encountered in the border patrol. in order for me to express that or get that off my chest, my wife recommended that i write it. and so when i did, as a therapeutic process. i wrote it, shared it with my wife. it did help me. because i hadn't spoken about the military experience in 18 years. she read it and said honey, you have a book. it einvolved from there. it still continues to help me in a therapeutic way because now i get to go

speak to kids that were in my situation, migrant workers, families. be able to inspire them. brian: without breaking the cycle. it's not where you started. it's where you finish. >> right. brian: america provides opportunity no guarantees. ainsley: some of your family was upset with you because you were arresting people trying to come over the border you were arresting, they said our people. >> it's dilemma. , right? because they were upset for that but they just didn't understanding. they didn't understanding the pride i learned to have for country and for just for first responders that are willing and able to sacrifice so much for the country for a purpose. and it was tough to explain. i still have family in mexico. ainsley: what does being a proud american to you? >> that's been a dilemma. my entire life. my entire life people have seen me and taken a look at me and said you are just mexican kid. you are not going to amount to much. or you come from migrant family, very poor family, you are not going to amount

to much. so my entire life i have been able to prove that wrong. i have been fighting and struggling and still continually every day try to improve myself to be able to prove them wrong. brian: it's now in that book all out "proud american;" thank you. ainsley: your mom is so proud of you. >> thank you. ainsley: two police officers ambushed and killed in blood. now the guy who lured them in and pulled the trigger is about to walk free for good behavior? brian: and we're answering your financial questions all morning like this one. what do you do if you are 28 and 80,000ness student loans and still living oat home in the ramsey team is here with advice for john the floor manager ♪ life is a highway ♪ i want to ride it all night long ♪ em. how long do you think we'll keep --

jillian: good morning, welcome back. we have headlines for you. a convicted cop killer will

soon be a free man. her man bell granted parole after spending nearly 45 years in prison for the murders of not one but two nypd officers in 1971. as a member of the black liberation army he helped lure officers joseph and waverly jones to a new york housing project. shot 22 times and waverly shot once. the 70-year-old is set to be released next month after showing good behavior and remorse. actor sean penn writing a gruesome novel about a man wanting to kill a president that sounds eerily familiar to our current commander-in-chief. in the book called bob honey who just do stuff a fictional character writes an angry letter about america's leader saying, quote: you are not simply a president of impeachment, you're a man in need of an intervention. we are a nation in need of an assassin. tweet me explicative, i dare you. penn first published the book, the novel in 2016 under a fake name. a burglar breaks into a home

through a baby's nursery window. look at this disturbing moments caught on surveillance video in florida. police say the masked man opened the window, ransacked the home and stole several hundred dollars worth of jewelry. no one was home at the time. forget flowers or jewelry. a florida man gives his wife a kidney for their 23rd anniversary. has a condition that requires 8 hours of dialysis a night. she says finding out her husband really was a perfect match was like winning the lottery. >> god knew what he was doing when he put this man in my life. >> just the simple fact that she doesn't have to be hooked up to a machine, that's very important for us. it brings me joy and happiness and it brings us closer together. jillian: doctors say it's rare to find a match between spouses. that's a look at your headlines. i will send it to janice. >> hello, good morning. yes, we are out on the plaza here. it's a little chilly for this time of year. you know what? we could actually be dealing with another nor'easter next week. i know. and it's supposed to be the

first day of spring on tuesday. we still have some snow showers across the eastern great lakes. that's going to be ongoing with that westerly flow. the west coast remains active with more rain and mountain snow in the forecast. this is some of the energy that's going to move across the central u.s. heading into friday and saturday bringing both snow, freezing rain, sleet, and rain across the southeast. and this is what is going to potentially make our next nor'easter, i know, monday into tuesday. so this is the gfs model. that's a pretty formidable storm as we head into tuesday. that's our first day of spring, so, yet, another nor'easter. buckle up, my friends. steve will keep you up to date. back to you. steve: thank you very much. you are officially sounding like a nor'easter with all this nor'easter talk. paying off the irs to student loan debt. we are answering some of your financial questions this morning. joining us now from the dave ramsey solutions team dave ramsey showed up along with christie wright, anthony

o'neil and ken comey. good morning, everybody. >> good morning. steve: dave, you get because you are on the operation, you get the first question. >> okay. steve: ron from california writes i'm behind on irs payments. that sounds ominous right there with 2018 taxes due soon, should i prioritize paying off the irs debt? >> absolutely. absolutely. you need to do that. you do not want to put anyone ahead of the kgb -- i mean the irs. they have unlimited power to mess with your life and they charge a lot of interest and a lot of penalties. we always put them first. the other thing i kind of think i hear in that question is you haven't addressed what's causing. this you need to get around behind this so that this problem doesn't continue. you need to dig this out by the roots. steve: at least he is dealing with the irs rather than just throwing their notices in the garbage. >> you don't have a choice. they are going to deal with you if you don't deal with them. steve: emily in new jersey writes i was denied the chance to sell in the two

biggest craft shows. the market is saturated how do i succeed? this sounds like something up your alley. >> it's interesting because now is a start a small business. steve: which have you done. >> yes, i have. it's very popular. because it's so popular it's easy to get in markets saturated. if you are going to do something that others have done create products different marketed them in different places or different way. what makes you unique? why should someone buy from you versus the competition? now your unique position doesn't have to be the only thing do you well and it doesn't have to necessarily be something that no one else is doing. this is just the angle you are going to lead with in your marketing. when you identify that you help your customers know why to choose you. if you don't know it, i guarantee you they don't know it. steve: starbucks didn't invent coffee they burned it and charge you 4 bucks for it meanwhile, anthony, here is a question for you. victoria in pennsylvania writes i'm 28 and i have $80,000 in student loans. i don't have my own place. what should i do?

and she is looking to you for divine intervention. used to be a pastor. >> victoria, i want to encourage you hey, it's fine you don't have your own place. stick to the plan. number one, set aside emergency fund and i want you to attack this debt. remember, debt is robbing you from your future. so i want to get that under control. get it paid off. set aside 3 to 6 months of expenses. let's start saving for a home. don't get so focused on buying a home. i'm 33 and i don't own a home. you know, but i'm excited because i'm debt-free and i'm going towards there you are almost there. steve: ken, who here is a question from david from washington. i found my passion but i'm not sure it will replace my current pay. should i make the leap anyway? that's a tough one. >> yeah. i have seen a lot of the americans watching right now very similar situation. the answer really is not yet. i want you to keep getting better and better and better. as you are getting better, you become more marketable and more valuable.

the best way to do it is part-time gig either for somebody else or for yourself. this is good in two ways. one, making more money, saving more money, and you get to a point where you can either jump full time for someone else or launch your own business. it's a scale w. that current job. stay there it's your platform to allow you to leap smart. steve: result ultimately, i think we would all like to do something great in our retirement. new statistic that came out, in the united states of america, the average working woman has saved for her retirement $34,000. that simply is not enough. but, you know there, a lot of families that don't even have that. so, real quickly, lightning round, what's one thing somebody can do today to help save for their retirement, mr. ramsey? >> all the data that we find on millionaires tells us that it's pretty simple. they live frugally, they live simply. they avoid debt of all kinds. and that free's up their income to invest in 401(k)s and roth iras.

sounds boring and simple. that's what the data is showing us the millionaires are doing and that's the opposite of having 34,000. steve: christie? >> it's interesting on average women earn less, save less and invest less and save for retirement less. we live longer. it's important to be intentional. you can't think about saving money. you need to transfer the money and save money for retirement. steve: quickly, anthony. >> i'm telling millennials start right now. open up mutual fund and invest as early cause. steve: ken? >> what do you need to give up to grow up. it's a sacrifice. steve: great. thank you for joining us today. >> thanks for having me. steve: if you have questions for ramsey solutions email us. we will pass them along. the pulse nightclub's widow facing judge for her role. what happened in the first day of court? we will explain that hillary clinton lessons fo reasons for g

brian: the widow of a terrorist who gunned down 2 the people at the pulse nightclub in 2016 in orlando is on trial in federal court. her name is nora sal mone. she is charged with aiding and abetting her deceased husband omar mateen. islamic extremist. how much did she know and how will prosecutors prove their case. it took a while to put together. here to weigh in is tom do tom dupree. tom? what is the most damning evidence against her. >> the best evidence the prosecution has is her confession. after this attack happened, federal agents interviewed her and they wound up getting a long, signed

statement in which she basically admitted she knew it was going to happen. she is fighting that she is saying the state knew it was coerced. it was laskly forced out of her. it's obviously a very difficult thing for the defense lawyers to try to get around when your client admits to a lot of the stuff. brian: night of the shootings they go to her house when the shooting is still taking place. she is in bed. she had to be woken up. there is also text messages of she saying to omar mateen, her husband, where are you? you know, can't find you. he wrote back have you heard? and she came back saying i love you. so it looks as though she didn't know exactly what he was up to unless that's part of the ruse. >> that's part of what the defense is going to hang its hat on. text messages going to say she wasn't willing accomplice. can you read text messages both ways. the prosecution can point to text messages that show she was trying to concoct a cover story with her husband if people were asking where he was. also going to use evidence that she might have helped him actually case possible

targets. that she might have gone shopping for w. him for ammunition. i think the prosecution had a lot of evidence they can put before the jury to show that she wasn't a victim or an innocent person caught up in this. but was a knowing and willing participant in the scheme. brian: it's so interesting we know the boston bombers, too. there was a wife involved. we speculate on how much he -- she did or did not know. but, here, it took a while. they are going full steam at her. there is a problem with knowing what somebody is up to and not saying anything. >> there is a problem. but, at the same time, the prosecution has a slightly higher barrier here. and they are going to need to show that she somehow helped him out or associated herself with the venture. now, i agree with you that if you know someone in your family is up to committing some horrific terrorist attack, you have a moral obligation to act and stop it. the prosecution here is going to need to show that she knew -- that she did more than just know about it that she somehow associated

herself with what her husband was trying to do. brian: we look forward to seeing this case put together. what she is looking at is life in prison. that's what prosecutors are going for. no death penalty? >> well, the prosecutors right now are pushing for life in prison. and i got to say, if they convict her, particularly on the aiding and abetting terrorism charge, she is going to be facing a lot of hard time behind bars. brian: carnage, done for isis, al qaeda. she knew about it and that is unbelievable. tom dupree, we will see where this court case goes. >> thank you. brian: 11 minutes now before the top of the hour. coming up, hillary's list for losing the 2016 election they keep on growing. they are getting really embarrassing. radio talk show host howie carr says she has no one else to blame but herself. he will yell at us about that. plus, kellyanne conway here live with the changes in the white house. dana loesch about all the talk of guns not protection yesterday of schools and steve hilton about the russians, the u.k. reaction and so much more.

>> his whole campaign, make america great again, was looking backwards. you know, you didn't like black people getting rights. you don't like women, you know, getting jobs. ainsley: hillary clinton still making excuses for her 2016 election loss. look at the list compiled by daily mail. but our next guest says she has no one to blame but herself. radio talk show host and author of "what really happened." how donald j. trump saved america from hillary clinton, howie carr joins you now. hey, howie, good to see you. >> good to see you, ainsley. she has made all these excuses.

when i finished my book in late december i had 29 listed. now, as you say the daily mail has it up to 41. she didn't get the old hollywood memo from big producer self-pity is not good box office. ultimately she was responsible for what happened and these lists of excuses that she has got, i mean, it's not just donald trump and breitbart and steve bannon and, you know, the deplorables. she has expanded the list as time has gone on. now includes barack obama. joe biden. bernie sanders. the bernie bros. jill stein. believe it or not she blames the "new york times" because they overplayed the email server. she blames james comey even though exonerated her in the email scandal before she witnesses. she can't talk responsibility for her own actions. i think the democrats running this fall should be asked do you agree with hillary clinton that, you know, that people who voted

for donald trump are backwards? that's the word she used in india the other day. backwards. do you agree that white women were coerced into voting for -- voting for donald trump by their bosses and their sons? can you imagine that, ainsley? saying white women were forced to vote for donald trump by their sons? do you know any white women like that? i don't. ainsley: i can't believe she said it even democrats are saying they can't believe she said that either. let's go on to next topic cherokee jea genealogist was on with tucker last night. parents elopement and grandparents weren't in favor of the wedding because her mother was cherokee indian. listen to this on tucker last night. >> she has no indication of indian ancestry anywhere in her lineage. elizabeth warren's father, he had at least one brother and one sister who also just went and had small weddings the same way. i just think it's the way

their family did things at the time. i don't think it was an elopement. ainsley: what are your thoughts, howie? >> her grandfather, who she has thrown under out bus apparently a very close friend who was a cherokee. he used to play golf with him. he invited him to his 25th wedding anniversary. what kind of person throws their paternal grandfather under the bus? it's not a positive sign of character, i don't think, on her part. but she is desperate. she can't talk about the d.n.a. test anymore because that would prove or disprove her ancestry one way or the other. she is retreating do these myths of the past. unfortunately for her there is this twila barnes out there cherokee genologist going back and reading over these papers. ainsley: thank you so much for being on with us, howie and congratulations on the new book. >> thank you, ainsley, appreciate it. ainsley: you are welcome. coming up, kellyanne conway is going to be live at the top of the hour, we all love

agree with him. we need to crack down on sanctuary cities. california is asking for federal assistance to repair walls and anything else under the sun but they can't respect federal immigration laws. they're harboring criminals. they're looking past the fact we have people and poison coming over the borders into our communities. the president went right to missouri, heard first-hand in missouri a tearful cafeteria worker thanking him for the tax cut. like somebody that raised me. saving the clothes for layaway, and in the bank. that is very common experience. folks i will focus on the policies here to leave perp nell to the president. it's a privilege and blessing to walk into the building every single day to serve the country we love. if you're low distraction, high production and do very well here

around last the longest and strongest. steve: we talk about the policy. we cover the president every day. >> i know. steve: this has been a big week for personnel changes. >> sure the president has that right. other people choose to leave. i respect that as well. this is not for everyone for a long time. everybody respects that. this is president who from the beginning throughout his entire successful career and public sector as the president. they have been able to form a team around him, as he made clear last week. he appreciates dissenting opinions. diversity of backgrounds. they come from the public sector. private sector. and have different opinions on the major issues of the day. the president controls the timing tone and content of policy decisions and personnel announcements. i'm thrilled larry kudlow is coming here. i worked very well with gary cohn our national economic

director, director of the nec, the chief economic advisor. larry will continue to pick up the man tell and with the tax cuts and plow forward on infrastructure and a strong, sound economy. this is a president who wants to continue with the prosperity and security he already brought to america. brian: do you have specifics on phase two of tax cuts? it is speculated something else is coming. some is saying making personal tax breaks permanent. they will not expire. what could you tell our audience about that? >> let me start from the beginning. congress passes a law, the president executes the laws. at the same time the president has taken lead on major policy issues, saying here is what i sign into law. here is what i think we should do. he was the leader when it came to working with congress on the border adjustability tax, getting rid of that early on and taking it out of the conversation. taking the corporate tax in the high 35%. he wanted it 15%. ended up at 21%.

below the average, repatriating the wealth. what you can expect, president to say america was lied to, they were told this can never pass. we can not have tax cuts. brian: no specifics on phase two? >> let me make clear. i'm not getting ahead of the president on that but let me make clear we see now these are working. anybody will come to vote against tax cuts the second time which was every single democrat in the house and senate. not one of them can find their way to get past the petty -- steve: you give democrats to support the next round? >> we gave them a chance on the first round. we give them bipartisan support on everything. especially tax cuts working in the states with the senators who voted against them, house districtses that voted against them. see what is working. let's do it again. this president, let's make clear, he is not a check the box kind of president. steve: we noticed. >> this is on security and accountability. tax cuts check, health care

check, he will keep going at a rapid pace. ainsley: this guy andrew mccabe, many people are watching, we talked about him a lot, at the fbi. he got caught misleading investigators. he had to step down his post. he decided he would delay, still an employee at the fbi and then retire at the end of march. you know what that mains for the people watching? their tax dollars, the lady who is crying because the president gave her $200 extra money to put in her retirement. she thanked the president. she is working hard as a cafeteria lady so he can go retire. his wife getting money from hillary clinton's best friends in the state of virginia, and he gets to live on a pension that hard-working lady has to pay for for the rest of his life. it doesn't seem fair. jeff sessions the ag has the ability to fire this guy -- steve: this week.

ainsley: so that hard-working lady doesn't have to pay for this guy's pension. what do you think about that? >> that decision rests on the attorney tone. on the broad issue of fairness and accountability, how donald trump got elected in the first place. it is not just about draining the swamp. it is about accountability and fairness as you said. this president took the issue of fairness, really we have the thread through everything from his views on education to immigration and to trade and to the way the government is held accountable. so i'm glad you're shining a lot on this particular issue you about it speaks to the broader topic of how there are sweetheart deals and there are different sets of rules for different kinds of people in the government. look how many people revolted in 2016 against that woman who lost the campaign whose name i never say on tv anymore because she, lost the election because they saw her as somebody who had special privileges, somebody who didn't play by the rules and there wasn't fairness that

applied. they were quickly reminded this week why they made a great choice in 2016. but the fact is, i'm glad you're shining a light on it, because people feel like they're always outside the glass with their knows presidented looking in and it just isn't fair to me. steve: you don't say hillary clinton's name. but she was over in india and she had quite a sound bite. listen to this. your reaction, kellyanne. these are the people that voted for your boss. >> i won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward and his whole campaign, make america great again, was looking backwards. you know you didn't like black people getting rights, you know you don't like women getting jobs. we do not do well with white men and we don't do well with marid white women. part of that is identification with the republican party, and

ongoing pressure to vote that the way your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should. steve: okay, kellyanne. >> well, i'm sure that makes its way into ads somewhere, somehow. you have the democratic party scrambling with thefy in pennsylvania, doesn't support the leader of the party, nancy pelosi. some democrats came out this week, really so angry with hillary clinton. a lot of them privately rolling their eyes. many of them publicly saying she shouldn't say that. she basically is again insulting half of the country, at least half of the country. let me tell you something, lady, that i or other women like me have to ask our husbands how to vote, really a joke, particularly i won't say her name, appeal to you directly,

the country knows who you are first and foremost because of who you married. stop pretending you're a feminist, quality for women and stop checking with our husbands and significant others before we vote. this is very representative how angry and bitter and ungracious many have become in this country, frankly, and but you know what? keep rolling the tape. so many democrats want her to stop. so many republicans want her to continue. by the way it is reminiscent of september 9th, which i always told mr. trump, candidate was one of the worst days for hillary clinton because it was when she was revealed to have said basket of deplorables, irredeemable. she wasn't sorry she said that. she was sorry she got caught saying that. brian: right. >> best evidence is what you haver here. she is insulting us all over again. these red state democrats have a

big problem defending that. brian: this is worse than the deplorable opinion. democrats should step up and separate themselves which should seem real obvious. pennsylvania state election and district will be redrawn but in conor lamb holds on and absentee ballots don't go the other guy's direction, a lot are saying this is brush-back pitch for the president. look out the midterms will be a blood bath for republicans. what do you say to that? >> i say a few things. first of all the quoting showed a five or six point lead for conor lamb. the president obviously narrowed the gap. i would say a message to well-paid consultants in this town, stop criticizing particularly republican nominees. i don't know why they do that the democratic party really never does that. people shouldn't do that. if they could avoid it. other, and other thing i would say is what i said in pittsburgh in my personal capacity last week when i was there, i said, and it was quoted, you can pull

♪ ainsley: convicted cop killer

will soon be a free man. brian: herman bell granted parole after serving 45 years behind bars for murders of not one but two nypd officers. this is back in 1971. steve: now one of those officers widows is speaking out in a powerful op-ed. rob schmitt joins us with that. >> tough to digest. good morning to you. herman bell was one of the three members of the black revolutionary army in 1971, they made a phony 911 call to lure nypd officers to a housing project in harlem. the officers responded to that call. they were ambushed. jones was shot in the head and killed enassistantly but herman bell and their accomplices took their time on the officer on the left. shooting him 22 times with his own revolver as he laid on the ground begging for his life, telling his killers that he had a wife and two little girls at home. didn't matter. herman bell was finally caught two years later in california

where he killed another police officer in san francisco. he was sentenced to 25 years to life. bell denied the nypd murders tore more than 40 years before finally admitting to the parole board a few years ago he wasn't in fact set up. diane, the widow for nearly 50 years wrote an op-ed in "the new york post." he and her daughters have been to every single parole hering for herman bell. she is understandably outraged that he is getting out of prison. he writes that bell shouldn't have gotten the death penalty. why are they letting him out? how can they let this man out on parole, when he denied what he did to my husband in 40 years. hear as wife and children and now allowed to get on the streets? the nypd commissioner said new york state parole board decision to released a mitted cop killer herman bell from prison is indefensible.

herman bell is due to be released from prison next month. three police officers killed. steve: he did not wind up with life in prison? >> at the time you couldn't get life in prison. 25 years to life was the -- there wasn't a death penalty. there still isn't here in new york. he couldn't get life. they will let him out. he is 70 years old. he has wife and kids. three officers, that he killed, that parole for them. that is what the nypd commissioner said. where is their parole? brian: ten minutes to the bottom of the hour the as we move ahead. thousands of high school students walking out across the country to protest gun violence. these teens door down the american flag too. really? nra spokesperson dana loesch weighs in next. ainsley: we all love janice dean, the weather machine, but did you know that she could also cook up a storm in the kitchen? brian: pizza bagels. ainsley: janice and her sons are up. brian: she wanders out a lot. steve: there is breakfast coming

[cheering] >> enough is enough. >> thank you for bringing your urgency to this fight, to the doorstep of america. the doorstep of the capital of the united states. ainsley: nra spokesperson dana

loesch is here now to react. what are your thoughts? >> well good to see you all this morning. i'm always, i'm always supportive of people going out and expressing their first amendment right. look, i don't want to make apologies for my second amendment rights so i don't expect people to make apologies for their first amendment right. i do wish we had some in the political class that would stop trying to exploit this six ways to sunday for their own political gain. i know the walkouts yesterday were organized by the women's march, which are dealing with some serious anti-semitic accusations right now which maybe perhaps wasn't the best optic i think they make it harder for people to be heard when they get some of the attention that these kids are getting from everyone, because they're expressing their viewpoints. brian: amazing, dana, to me, my instinct would be, let's protect the schools and then talk about how to do that. >> right. brian: but seems as though the message was blame the nra and blame president trump in many cases. >> yeah, which doesn't make any

sense at all because president trump wasn't the one down in parkland not paying attention to the 45 calls, no were any law-abiding gun owners who are nra members. sheriff israel had the best day yesterday because nobody was talking about him. i think that is how he wants it. no one was talking about his competency. no one was talking about his failure to stand up the to kids by answering the 45 calls that came into his department, including calls from the murder's mother herself was even warning law enforcement this murderer put a gun to her head before. after reports came out he punched her so hard in the face he knocked her teeth out. i want everyone not to forget the school had a file on him, mental health file because he had been meeting with therapists where he was telling therapists all of his gory fantasieses about school shootings. the "miami herald" has done amazing work on this. no one is paying attention to it aside from you all. steve: obviously the protests, originally a lot of people thought it was to commemorate

the 17 lives lost t became a political thing. those people, all the images are to suggest that all those kid are for gun control. the u.s. congress though did something yesterday. the house of representatives, gigantically lopsided vote, 407-10, passed the stop school violence act t was completely bipartisan. what it is going to do it is going to try to help people get training so they can identify students who are at risk going for ward. >> absolutely. i think that is making sure that students and teachers are protected is something that everyone can agree on. that shouldn't be a political issue but i think, steve, you make a really good point yesterday as well, you can memorialize the lives lost but it doesn't necessarily mean every single person who went out is somehow supportive of gun control measures. gun control, let's be clear, gun control would not have prevented what happened yesterday.

the proposals that i have heard wouldn't have prevented what happened yesterday, aside from making schools are, that people want to be able to protect themselves, teachers, educators, trained and willing to so and can. what would have prevented this massacre the fbi following up on two tips. acting deputy director, david bodich came out and said they messed up. these are two things they should have followed up on. i want to go back ultimately the murderer is responsible but sheriff israel their sworn duty to follow this down, that is what they should be doing, not blaming mothers like me and law-abiding gun owners in america for his mistakes and incompetency. brian: we have report of deputies telling everyone i'm on the outside. deputy's story saying he thought shots were coming from out side but he was telling him to stay away from the building that is the story not getting enough publicity. we have to stop the next one.
