2:00 pm
...on the hotel you want. don't sweat your booking. tripadvisor. the latest reviews. the lowest prices. the fox news alert. protesters again. with the march for the lives movement. topping a million people packing the streets in washington dc and other cities and the main event in our nation's capital. massive crowds also turning up for sister rallies. such as los angeles and new york. one of the most emotional gatherings happened in parkland florida. seventeen innocent lives were lost. the survivors of that deadly mass shooting organized today's event in washington
2:01 pm
dc. to strengthen our gun laws in secure our schools. also having a global impact with people holding events in africa, asia australia and south america we will have live team fox news coverage that are happening nationwide. that has to do with president trump. he is traveling to florida after signing that massive $1.3 trillion spending bill after he previously threatened to veto it. this is a brand-new hour of america's news headquarters. >> the president signing the bill without enthusiasm yesterday voicing his displeasure about some of the scenes included in it as well as what was left out. he sees the bill as less than ideal and signed it only out
2:02 pm
of necessity. we are very disappointed in the $1.3 trillion more when no one more disappointing than me. will start coming down. with no choice but to fund our military. because we have to have by far the strongest military in the world. i will never sign another bill like this again. >> right now the white house correspondent he is live from west palm beach florida. you are right. i love the way you all got to it because you really can't imagine that. you hit on something important. and not get everything he wanted for it. i think it's important lesson however for this political
2:03 pm
novice. in two understand that on capitol hill you can have the best intentions and your plans may not turn out the way you hoped. and they sent him the bill that he signed. it doesn't rest on the shoulders of congressional lawmakers. the president wanted to fund the military. they would get more than $60 in additional funding. it would make sure that they have the money and resources to take care of the equipment that they have. to give the troops a pay raise. it's been a long time. it is still not comfortable assignment by the president as he laid out pretty clearly yesterday. i tried to explain to them that the military is for republicans and democrats and everybody else. we have tremendous opposition to creating really what will be the strongest military that we've ever had in the president noted today we received the largest military budget and history reversing
2:04 pm
many years of decline and unpredictable funding. in together we are to make our military is stronger than ever. we in the military are humbled and grateful to the american people for their sacrifices on behalf of this funding. >> it's unfortunate that congress told not to listen to the men and women of dhs. we will continue to work with him to make sure that the wall is where we needed how we need it as the president described in to make sure that it serves the american people and serves the security of this nation. they are talking about the wall. $1.6trillion is a lot when you consider it's just a down payment. so understand they will be back at this conversation again in october. another $500 million for planned parenthood they say they do not use federal funds for abortion services but there are a number of people who are wondering why despite the promises on the campaign trail.
2:05 pm
they're still getting a great deal of money. they had had to contend with the courts on this issue. this is a very interesting. with the service members. or somehow curtailed. over at the pentagon. they can unpacked the idea of what it means. the president said he wants to make sure that he listened to it. and indeed he will do just that. he said in my professional judgment.
2:06 pm
in the strongest position. the fight and when america was worse. around the world. talking about limiting the scope of what they can do. as you can will imagine. let me read part of that. instead of fulfilling the oath. donald trump are putting our nation security at risk. back in the closet termination is not a national security strategy. i want to give it to the number 5,000. you can see it's fairly small number.
2:07 pm
we have to get rid of the filibuster rule. and go to 51 votes in the senate. we have to get a lot of great legislation abused. it will happen just like magic. the president calling. they are gonna pass a budget. the heart stopping last-minute budget.
2:08 pm
we are going through this month after month and he gets right up to the edge and you say okay this is a terrible way to govern. it's also a very korbel. it is can can add $1.3 trillion. to that is extent it's bad. they don't make decisions about what is good spending and bad spending. to the defense budget.
2:09 pm
the democrats insisted on domestic spending. i pushed it higher. it's just not a very good way of running the country. this is not why we sent them to washington. they would be right about that. the president and the republicans campaign on cutting spending and drying in the reins and holding the government back. holding them back from extra spending. they come here, it was 2000 pages more than 2000 pages rand paul who was one of the principal opponents of this spending bill spent more than two hours to just print the things out. lawmakers had less than one minute per page to read this. from the moment they have to vote on it.
2:10 pm
let me read you one of the editorials of the other day about this exact issue. you wrote this. congress should not be funding washington activities in this way. it needs regular order to govern well. they are too big and too opaque because it's been created to an irregular process. and hurry to the finish line they want the line item veto. one of the provisions this was tried again about six or seven years ago. maybe the level of frustration has reached such a point.
2:11 pm
the filibuster is not going to go away. the democrats are not going to hand them the particular weapon. they have no intention of getting rid of it. in the line item veto many presidents would have wanted that and ronald reagan called for it but the supreme court has ruled it is not constitutional. frankly those kinds of provisions are not can happen quickly and unfortunately unless the political will exist to reform the system. unless they can get this back to regular order. we've been down this road before. the national commission for
2:12 pm
fiscal and responsibility and reform the former clinton chief of staff a lot of big hunches and names. was that successful and why would a new commission under this bill achieve what others had not been able to achieve. there were very determined people they were powerful people. they were given a mandate to try to do this. but the truth is that the congress is the supreme authority on this in a people in congress cannot agree to do this in an orderly way through regular order at second happen. unless there is political will up on capitol hill. perhaps president trump and the threat to veto it and then the further statement that is putting real pressure they
2:13 pm
would probably all celebrate once we see it. maybe behind-the-scenes it will be a bit more on that threat. with who the to the members of the commission would be. i don't know who that they are going to be. i don't think they had been named yet. the idea is that they will meet when they hold five meetings when lawmakers return to capitol hill in a couple of weeks after the easter recess and we hear that the 12 people that are going to be absolutely committed and anxious to get this done as for example the washington examiner is and as the president is as we heard in your report. let's hope that they read your editorials. thank you so much for joining
2:14 pm
us today. a fox news alert as we take a five look --dash make -- alive look happening in denver. in our nations capital the epicenter with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators rallied for congress in addressing gun violence in school safety. we have fox team coverage in washington. we begin with allison barber with more on the march for the lights rally. the last major can control the rally that took place here in dc happened in 2000. the million mom march. the largest gun-control march in history. about 750,000 people attended. about 500,000. from the student organizers that we spoke to today. while they think the march was powerful it does not achieve
2:15 pm
what they hoped it would achieve and what many marchers would achieve. they believe they can about concrete permanent change. we have the youth on our side. to empowering the young people around us. we heard from kids, teenagers and some people work as young as 11 all of them impacted by gun violence. they want this rally and the bigger conversation. they are calling for things like a federal assault weapons. and that includes three main things for these folks. limiting magazines as well is tightening up background checks.
2:16 pm
it is the need to raise the purchase agent for buying got. they aren't asking for a done band published by the american academy of pediatrics researchers with the university of texas at austin found that nearly 1300 children died and 5,790 are treated for gunshot wounds every year. we spoke from one young man from new york. the thing that we can do to make the world a better place.
2:17 pm
to start speaking more about gun violence. my voice to get out there and so kids can start carried . the main organizers are of course from stoneman dedman high school. while it started with a focus on school shootings when i spoke to most of those organizers today their goal and their mission has expanded. this is about gun violence impacting children all over whether it's in a high school in parkland florida or a sidewalk in chicago. allison you mentioned that the 11-year-old. that is naomi wadler. she is from alexandria virginia. she is nothing short of amazing. thank you so much. the gun control debate front and center as demands for tougher laws are getting louder. now proposing a rule that would ban bunk stocks.
2:18 pm
with the massive deadly shooting that they committed last october. there's more on the trump administration and the bump stocks. they took some action on gun control this week as well. the trillion dollar spending bill that was just past including three items that have mostly bipartisan support strengthening background checks for gun sales and training for schools to identify and authorizing the cdc to do research on gun violence. in part the expanded background checks don't close the gun show loophole's and people can still push a -- purchase assault weapons.
2:19 pm
it would've happened without the students standing behind us. but we know that is not enough. a number of republicans who played a big role in pushing the latest gun reform through argue with an issue as devices as it can control you are only going to make progress by focusing on areas where there is common ground. >> there are people appear that disagree on how to regulate guns. i know of no one who doesn't want to stop school shootings. we should take the goodwill and use it. we should take it and use it. the justice department on announced on friday. with a nationwide ban which would make it illegal to buy sell for use or own one of those devices. thank you so much.
2:20 pm
the officer and the incredible act of courage. it's coming up next. north and south korea gearing up for a historic summit. possible one on one which is between president trump and kim jong own. for all the noses that stuff up around pets. there's flonase sensimist. it relieves all your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist. you or joints. something for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. so allstate is giving us money back on our bill.
2:21 pm
well, that seems fair. we didn't use it. wish we got money back on gym memberships. get money back hilarious. with claim-free rewards. switching to allstate is worth it.
2:22 pm

2:23 pm
2:24 pm
france is mourning the loss of a courageous and heroic police officer. after yesterday's terror attack. he has now come some to his wounds. he offered to trade places with a female hostage during an assault on the supermarket and he just walked inside. he was one of four people that were killed. police did killed the gunman when they stormed that market officer beltran was highly decorated he did keep his cell phone on officials say he was shot and stabbed by the radical islamic terrorists. president trump offering his condolences today.
2:25 pm
he also condemned the actions of the terrorists. >> the appointment of the former united nation's ambassador john bolton. is sparking concerns and some foreign policy circles this as the president prepares for a possible summit with north korean leader the foreign policy hawk is a known advocate for u.s. military strength and has previously argued in favor of a preemptive strike against the regime. the newest analyst. colonel davis, bolton is walking into a lot. let's talk about it. the iran nuclear agreement in jeopardy. the meeting with kim jung un. it is penciled in sil as the potential option. how can a national security
2:26 pm
advisor to lead president trump in the white -- in the right direction in this very dubious itinerary. what advice could he give it that could be costly for the u.s. this is the third national security adviser that we've have in a little over a year. and one president. i think the point that some people are missing is that president trump is in charge. president trump sets the term. i certainly don't want to be rude. i will ask you some very pointed issues and i would like you to weigh in on it in terms of how the now national security advisor will perform. it's very clear that he is much more hawkish than hr men master was. we should use force potentially and he seems to be advocating regime change in
2:27 pm
iran. and those are things that the president has. he ran against. no more dumb wars. it is clear that bolton is going to be advising in some different directions. he has to be careful. bolton is on record as saying he advocates some of that. it sets up the possibility for some conflict on that but i think as the president has instincts on this. i think he is charting a good course. i think with bringing an ambassador bolton. i think it's pretty set. he does have some skills. he has the job also. the president is going to listen to him on some level. how is john bolton as a national security adviser good for the united states.
2:28 pm
were talking inside of our borders nationally and then on the international front where does the bolton pic. in my opinion as i think he is advising probably in a little bit more of a hawkish area that we need. everybody agrees that the united states as well as the president we should be strong and project strength. there is some limits to what the military can do to be ready to understand that there is more ways than just threatening the regime changes. when you look at the full power of the united states. it's something that we have to make sure we understand the military is not going to be the answer to everything. that seems to be the direction that he's gonna go in. i think the president will be on this one. in a separate category is there any subtext to russia from president trump.
2:29 pm
>> they had been more emphatic on russia as well. his actions so far are right. it's in our interest to have as good as relationship as we can with russia but never compromising on our interest. i'm sure they will give the president a range of options. it will ultimately be the president he will make the call. was bolted the right pick. i think the similar way that he picked pompeo was a secretary of state. i think you feels a good personal relationship with him as well. but because i think he is for some things that he's not. i'm strong enough to resist
2:30 pm
the areas that i don't want. some of the other advice that he can bring. he's going to reject it when he doesn't like it. thank you for allowing me to redirect to their little bit early. as i can do it again. president trump is facing criticism for some fiscal hawks after he did put to the pen to the paper. on the budget bill yesterday. coming up we will talk to a member of the house at freedom caucus who voted against it on what he thinks. and we are life at the march for our lives. it has given rise as you note to the nationwide call for stricter gun laws as millions have taken to the streets.

reluctantly signed a spending bill that keeps the government running. just hours after he weeded that threat to veto it. because of the much-needed boost in military spending under the bill. we more from washington. president trump has signed a one point $20 spending bill that runs 200232 pages in length.
2:36 pm
but he's not pleased about it. i will never assign another bill like this again. of the thousands of pages the president made it clear he only backed a handful of the provisions. $1.6billion boost for border security and $5 billion to fight the opioid epidemic. this is the largest payout from a single bill that the u.s. military has ever seen. from new fighter jets and submarines to a pay raise for every service member. when it comes to homeland and border security however. the president was sold short. he asked the congress for $25 billion for the border wall in his own proposal but this bill includes only $1.6 billion for border security in total. other points of contention in
2:37 pm
this legislation is expanded funding for planned parenthood, public housing, and the national institute of health and the national endowment for the arts. in spite of all this however the vice president insists that overall the bill is success for this administration. even earlier today the spending bill that the president signed into law we saw the promises of this administration. some senior leaders on capitol hill had already made their disagreement on this point public since the bill was signed into law little more than 24 hours ago. eric, thank you so much. for more on this now. let's bring in republican congressman scott. and a member of the house freedom caucus. congressman, i will ask you why he voted against it in the moment. but i want to start here congressman you have a degree in business administration management so what is your
2:38 pm
overall assessment of how the business of running our government is being managed. first let's talk about process. you don't bring out a one point 3 trillion-dollar spending package the evening before and then vote on it by noon or 1230 in the next day. twenty-two 32 pages. and you haven't read it. essentially as a business person you would not sign a contract to spend that kind of money without having read it to see what you are going to get. number two, the house passed all 12 appropriation bills. that's where we determine how much we are going to spend what we will spend the money on. it passed zero of those. how does this process work. it doesn't work very well from that standpoint. the funding sanctuary cities spending $1.3 trillion when we just went to 21 showing dollars in debt.
2:39 pm
those who voted for this i guess they are okay with going with $22 trillion in less than half a year. that's exactly right. we spent money on things that we told the american people we what it other than the military and a couple other things. i have to be fixed. but not at this level for everything else. we are talking about 80 billion-dollar increase in defense spending are you okay with that are you okay with 1.6 dollar boost up fund boarding. certainly like i said. even with this. we are 20% smaller than we were in the accidents.
2:40 pm
as a matter fact i and other members went to the rules committee with an amendment to increase it. when you go to congress you have to set priorities that's what the american people hire you to do. the military and defense of our nation comes first. we know the last administration devastated our military. you have to hold a line on all the other domestic spending if you're ever going to get your deficit in order and we just didn't do that. not only do we not do that we did not do what we would promise to do which was fund border security we left that wide open. >> what is the fix on border security? >> we have to secure the border. you can just had an open border. fencing doesn't work. people and criminals and judge -- drug dealers they can just walk right through. >> how much are you willing to
2:41 pm
spend on that? on border security. what is effective. >> we have to spend what it takes to secure our border. how much are we gonna spend to secure my home. i will just leave the front door open because i don't have an extra $5. it has to be within reason but we know what the estimates are and we ought to get to it. the point is we don't have any other money for infrastructure and we have infrastructure to be fixed in this country. and we just spent $1.3 trillion. >> congressman i have a little bit under a minute left. we already said the federal government is open for business for another six years. i will put on another hat. as a father of two are you concerned that the current date stopgap measures will cause an impossible burden for future generations?
2:42 pm
>> i love my children two of the biggest reasons why i wanted to go to congress and then to lower the spending. we cut taxes at the earlier part of the year i would've liked to see more of a flat tax guy. it was pretty good compared to what we have. the spending we can't seem to get our minds and our hands around that. that's where i am really frustrated. i too little children will grow up with this debilitating debt. they are depending on the programs that she put money into to be able to take care of herself. how does any of that happen. what is the opportunity for everybody's children in this country. >> will you come when you come back and speak with me about what we plan. >> of course i well. the one thing i can do is when they come up with something irresponsible that the citizens did not support is to vote no and that's what i did.
2:43 pm
>> is certainly one way. we will count on you for that. scott. thank you very much. >> it was a relic of the cold war. it struck out like a sore thumb hundreds of thousands of taking up the street today. making their way to parkland florida. thousands there all part of a nationwide movement to try to change or nation's gun laws. that rally is now winding down. the messages processed. we will have a live report coming up here on the fox news channel. when you look at the mercedes-benz glc...
2:44 pm
2:45 pm
...with its high-tech cameras and radar... ...contemporary cockpit... ...three hundred and sixty degree network of driver-assist technologies... ...and sporty performance... ...what's most impressive about the glc? all depends on your point of view. the 2018 glc. starting at $40,050. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing.
2:46 pm
2:47 pm
whoamike and jen doyle?than i thought. yeah. time for medicare, huh. i have no idea how we're going to get through this. follow me. choosing a plan can be super-complicated. but it doesn't have to be. unitedhealthcare can guide you through the confusion, with helpful people, tools and plans. including the only plans with the aarp name. well that wasn't so bad at all. that's how we like it. aarp medicare plans, from unitedhealthcare. >> coming back now to today's top stories. hundreds of thousands of students in supporters and
2:48 pm
more gathering across the nation calling for gun control in the wake of massive school shootings mass school shootings including gathering in california's capital. our team live coverage continues. first let's go to alicia who is life in sacramento with the latest. as you can see things have quieted quite a bit here at the state capitol in sacramento. much different than it was earlier today. we can take some of those pictures now so we can see what it was like here. they spent about two and half or three hours gathered here at the steps of the capitol building calling for change in gun laws. there were teachers here, there were students here and really we saw people of all ages and all walks of life's gathering here we can tell you from observing and spending all the time here that we did not see any instances where there was a lot of anger that was expressed.
2:49 pm
things were relatively peaceful. they were registering others to vote. a lot of passion and the microphone. we saw a lot of cheering and then folks moved on. that is far different from what they saw last night because sacramento right now is sort of reeling from another issue and that event from earlier this week. take a look. >> that was downtown sacramento last night. the shooting of an unarmed black man by two sacramento police officers there is an investigation underway in part of the investigation is the fact that one of the police officers in the body camp which captured the shooting also muted the microphone shortly after that death of
2:50 pm
clark. i can also tell you that with the protesters there is also this mini movement inside of them where they try to stop people from engaging too far. so that their message is not lost in their actions. a march for our lives rally. wrapping up a short time ago. protesters joined others across the nation calling for more than control and the city where that shooting happened last month. we are life in parkland with the latest. about 10,000 people participated in the march for our lives here in parkland florida. the demonstrators say they are not against the second amendment but they want compromise. they want assault weapons band. a person cannot carry out a mass murder if they don't have the means to do so. we are not here to fight for gun control. we're here to we are here to fight for gun safety.
2:51 pm
we are all human and we all want to keep each other shaped -- safe. enough is enough. >> people are still showing up to pay their respects. we will be right back. in the modern world, it pays to switch things up. and when you switch to esurance, you can save time, worry, hassle, and yup, money. in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved hundreds. that's auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call.

boot out politicians who come out after mass shootings and say now is not the time to talk about gun control. the people at this rally say now is the time and they are fed up. take a listen. >> i hope people listen. i hope people realize it is not about kids, it is not -- everyone is in danger. not a single person who is not at risk for getting attacked by a gun. >> many of the people at this rally who we spoke with say they want common sense gun reform. they also say they are not comfortable with arming teachers. arthel, as one person summed it up to me, she said the scariest thing that should be in a classroom is a pop quiz. arthel? arthel: will carr in los angeles. thanks, will. eric? eric: arthel, president trump is spending the weekend at his florida estate. that one day after he reluctantly signed that 1.3 trillion dollars spending bill that will fund the government well just through september. he vowed, though, not to do it
3:05 pm
again. >> we looked at a veto. i looked very seriously at the veto. i was thinking about doing the veto. but because of the incredible gains that we have been able to make for the military, that overrode any of our thinking. but i say to congress, i will never sign another bill like this again. i'm not going to do it again. nobody read it. eric: he's calling for changes in the process and for what's coming next. kevin cork live in west palm beach now near mar-a-lago with the details. good evening. >> always nice to talk to you. listen, this is what leadership looks like; right? second guessing and monday morning quarterbacking and plenty of criticism to go around, not just for the president for signing this, a lot of people felt like he should have towed the line and forced congress to come back with something better. but even more criticism today for congressional lawmakers, the
3:06 pm
bill they sent to president's desk which he signed because he felt national security needed priority in this circumstance. a big boost to the military. more than 60 billion dollars in additional funding for the u.s. military. that is important because they are talking about a decade since the military actually got a raise. and when you're talking about the necessity of making sure there's military readiness, you guessed it, the president felt like despite the fact that this was a clearly bitter pill to swallow, it was ultimately a necessary one. that said, criticism for the wall continues to be the big sticking point for great many people who are upset with the white house for finally giving in and, well, taking less than they thought they should have for the wall. now, in their defense, white house officials tell me 1.6 billion dollars for the wall, eric, is just a down payment. it's six months, folks, take a deep breath there will be more money yet to come. another big sticking point for
3:07 pm
the white house and a lot of people are upset about this, planned parenthood, the president ran on this idea that look, stop giving taxpayer money to planned parenthood. they can fund themselves. other people can help fund them. well the government will still give them 500 million dollars. although planned parenthood says they never use any government funds for abortion services. that said, it is still a very difficult pill to swallow for a great many of the president's supporters. i should also point this out, eric, while we have a moment, the president did make a point to listen to his military leaders in signing an important memorandum as to the case of transgender individuals hoping to serve in the u.s. military. you and i have talked about this previously. the courts obviously getting involved in this. ultimately the senior leaders at the pentagon have made a determination that while transgender troops in the service today can still serve, they are limiting the scope of their service and obviously in the process we are told by the
3:08 pm
white house there will be fewer opportunities for transgender individuals to join the military. let me share part of a statement from mad dog mattis. he said this, in my professional judgment, these policies will place the department of defense in the strongest position to protect the american people, to fight and win america's wars, and to ensure the survival and success of our servicemembers, around the world. no surprise, immediate condemnation from the dnc and nancy pelosi, the minority leader in the house. she tweeted this: no one with the strength and bravery to serve in the u.s. military should be turned away because of who they are. this hateful ban is billed to humiliate our brave transgender members of the military who serve with honor and dignity. hashtag protect transtroops. we're only talking about 5,000 or so individuals out of a total
3:09 pm
number of about 2 million, about quarter of 1%, so we are not talking about a huge number of individuals, they are valuable, no less valuable by the way, but there will be fewer opportunities for them to serve moving forward, eric. eric: kevin, thank you very much. >> you bet. arthel: as we have been reporting all day, nationwide marches happening, calling on lawmakers to take tougher action on gun violence. as the trump administration is getting closer now to banning bump stocks. joining me now is a reporter. so nice to have you here on the set with us here. and the bump stock ban won't immediately go into effect, but it's still considered fast action by congress. >> definitely. it has a 90-day waiting period in which they can receive public comments on it. it can be changed or enacted into law as is. but as you were saying, it's been pretty fast. this was introduced five months ago -- or i guess rather the las
3:10 pm
vegas shooting happened in october which was five months ago. it's already almost passed and active into law. whereas a spending bill was introduced in 08, so that's been ten years. when congress is sort of predictabley slow, this is a significant step forward. arthel: there was still some political caution considered. >> definitely. this is a step in the right direction, but only addresses one issue. not even an issue that was necessarily a problem in the parkland shooting. in fact the bump stocks haven't really been an issue in any of these mass shootings in modern history except for in las vegas. although it is something we need to move forward on, gun policy experts say this is not a significant step in terms of making things more safe. we need to consider other action. arthel: let's talk about some of the things that the organizers of the march for lives rallies are calling for. let's take a look now. they are calling for the elected officials to act by doing the following: passing a law to ban
3:11 pm
the sale of assault weapons, prohibiting the sale of high capacity magazines, closing the loophole in our background check law that allows dangerous people who shouldn't be allowed to purchase firearms to slip through the cracks and buy guns on-line or at gun shows. and as you just pointed out, the act that's included in the spending bill, which is the effort to bolster background checks before gun sales, more specifically empower the federal researchers to study gun violence as a public health issue, with that said, though, you've got some reformers on both sides of the political aisle saying this is still not enough. so we saw these young people out there in full force. where is this issue heading, considering what we saw today? >> the kids today all across the states were saying that this is just the beginning. we saw how powerful protests can be, whether it's this march today or any number of marches we have seen since donald trump
3:12 pm
was elected as president. i think what we can expect is for these young people, 4 million young people are turning 18 by the time the 2018 election comes around in november. we can expect they will take this issue to the voting booth. they have said it themselves they want to vote politicians out who they think aren't enacting strict gun control laws. arthel: 4 million kids will turn 18 before the 2018 midterm elections. that's a big strong, big number, and these kids seem to be very motivated to not stop. and it was interesting because -- i want to get your reporting on this, but, you know, they are talking about gun reform. i think there is a group of those young people in there, are not trying to take away guns from everyone, and they understand the support for the 2nd amendment right, but they are saying something has to change. we shouldn't have to go to school and worry if we're going to get mowed down by a deranged gunman in our classroom >> that's what's so difficult is that a lot of people don't want to threaten the 2nd amendment
3:13 pm
rights of many americans. at the same time, as you just said think they the inactions we have seen are not enough. i think things like banning assault weapons is not realistic. closing loopholes for background checks is more realistic. we saw in the past president trump was considering increasing the age limit from 18 to 21 to buy a firearm. the nra doesn't support that. that political calculation is risky for republicans moving forward. bump stocks is supported by the nra. this is a little bit less risky for them. what we can see is consideration of things, banning bump stocks, we can expect more in terms of criminal background checks and also mental health which donald trump has talked about. arthel: we will be watching this of course between now and especially before the midterm elections. hope to have you back in new york with me. >> thank you for having me. arthel: thank you. eric, you always mess up her name and i figured i was going to get it right. there you go. >> thank you. eric: they made the ultimate

fairfield and greater community. arthel: we're told the driver, a native of india was a permanent legal resident of the u.s. and had lived here since 1993. eric: the french government is planning a national ceremony to honor the police officer who died during yesterday's terrorist attack by a radical islamic killer. that officer shot and stabbed by the terrorist officials say after he voluntarily took the place of a female hostage during the supermarket siege. president trump tweeting quote our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the horrible attack in france yesterday and we grieve the nation's loss. we also condemn the violent actions of the attacker and anyone who would provide him support, we're with you, @ emmanuel macron. ryan chilcote has the latest >> a lot of people mourning today in france for the four people killed in that attack. but a lot of people also paying tribute to the policeman who
3:20 pm
said he would swap places with the woman who was being used as a human shield by the terrorist. the lieutenant colonel went into the supermarket unarmed after the hostage taker said he would accept a swap. but unbeknownst to the terrorist, he kept his cell phone on so his fellow police officers outside could listen in. when they heard gunshots over the phone, they stormed the building. he was shot and stabbed leaving him mortally wounded, the terrorist was killed by the police. but before it was all said and done, 15 people had been injured in the attack. now, people from all over france have descended on this town. it is in the south of france. it is called treb. many of them saying they simply wanted to pay their respects to the police officer. the president of france called him a hero. the policeman's mother talked to reporters yesterday before he passed away from his injuries. she said when she heard a policeman had swapped places with one of the hostages, she knew it was her son. >> translator: i'm not surprised. this is how he lives. helping others and doing his
3:21 pm
work in the most noble way possible. >> the policeman's mother now has to live with pain -- with the pain of having outlived her son. as for the woman who policeman swapped places, the manager of the supermarket said her name is julie and she's very distraught. >> the officer, a true hero that we should remember. >> absolutely. the house intelligence committee voting to release their reports on the panel's russia probe. what could this possibly mean for the other ongoing investigation? plus john bolton is tapped to take over as national security advisor. his nomination coming at a crucial time for the trump administration as the president prepares to meet with kim jong-un. a look at how this latest staff shake up will impact that very meeting. the morning walk was so peaceful.

eric: the house intelligence committee voting this week to release the republican authored report concluding there was no collusion found between the trump campaign and moscow. but the release has been heatedly criticized by the democratic members of the committee. this follows a decision by the republican controlled panel to close the investigation in the matter its findings released thursday, the republican majority criticizing some
3:27 pm
members of the trump campaign for what they call quote bad judgment and inappropriate meetings with russians but said they found no signs of collusion. they also concluded russian meddling in the 2016 election was not designed to help then candidate donald trump. democrats though slammed the report saying they plan to issue a dissenting report of their own this coming week. what can we expect from all this? joining us now is the former fbi assistant director. you know, critics say the decision to close this is premature. you know, the republicans as i just said said they found no evidence of collusion. do you think this was an appropriate step? >> well, you know, whether it was appropriate or not i think is less important than it's real at this point insignificant. what we have seen is, you know, a predictably -- on the part of that committee in particular -- a predictably partisan approach to things, which is extremely unfortunate. so it's almost immaterial at this point, the republicans issue their view of things, and the democrats come back with an
3:28 pm
equally passionate response. so what we really need to do is let the special counsel do his job and await that outcome and that will be the definitive word, not this increasingly partisan bickering, which unfortunately is going to have some serious long-lasting consequences. eric: what would those consequences in your view be? >> this is a committee that historically a does very important work in overseeing not only the fbi but the rest of the intelligence community in what they do. it's taken decades for that relationship and that system to become one of trust and cooperation. and i think we've seen that exploded, especially in the house, over this last year. that's going to have serious consequences again, on the trust and the cooperation between the intelligence committees and the congress, which is a vital
3:29 pm
significance to the american people. and a disservice to the american people. eric: there have been evidence of contacts between campaign officials and russians, and this sort of thing. is it possible that the democrats, decades of experience in investigations in washington, is it possible next week the demes will come out with a different -- next week the democrats will come back out with a different conclusion based on the same evidence that the republicans had that the republicans said there was no collusion? >> i think it is more than possible. it is almost for sure. they will take the same information and do an entirely different take, and again, it's pretty much come down to blatant partisanship, and that is exactly why we have a special counsel, a man of proven integrity and proven honesty who has put together, you know, a top flight team, and we need to let them do their job. eric: what about those who have attacked mueller, who have criticized his objectivity, who have criticized some of the
3:30 pm
people who have been involved, you have seen the texts with lisa page, for example. >> yes, i have a. >> and the fbi -- and you have andrew mccabe being fired. what about the critics who have a different view than you just expressed? >> sure. clearly some of the criticism is justified if you look at the texts for example that you alluded to, that's not helpful. but to take those bits and pieces and make a sweeping conclusion which has been done that the whole process is corrupt and we've heard that word used, robert mueller himself, the head of this has a history of service to this country that's really unparalleled, both as a military officer, an eight-year director of the fbi, a prosecutor for many years. i can't think of anyone in public service who really has a better reputation than he does. have there been mistakes? have there been things you wish hadn't happened? sure. do they go to the basic of this
3:31 pm
integrity of this process? i don't think so. eric: you read the completely antitrump texts. people wonder they are antitrump. some supporters say no they were concerned about potential russian meddling. how does the american public define what has been alleged and denied as a political reason for having this type of investigation versus something they were really actually concerned about? >> i think if you read those texts honestly, and i think your characterization that they were anti-trump, it's not possible to deny that. the problem is or the issue is everybody's entitled to their views, to their personal political views, and let me tell you in my 30 years in the fbi, almost everybody had. you would expect people who were drawn to that kind of service to have political views. the issue is not to let those, your personal political views, influence your actions in terms
3:32 pm
of your -- in terms of your investigative and responsibilities. and again, i don't see any proof that that's occurred. and again, talking about investigations, that's what the inspector general is doing, the inspector general again a very respected independent objective person is looking at all that, and i think we should wait for his findings and to see how serious those actions on the part of those people were. eric: you were at the highest level of the bureau so you feel that michael horowitz is a straight shooter. >> absolutely do. eric: and obviously the office of professional conduct had serious -- i wouldn't say allegations but they found something serious about andrew mccabe and that prompted his firing. tell us about that on what we can expect from horowitz and some of the things we have had out of the office of professional responsibility that have taken this seriously? >> let me say to you as part of my responsibilities, i was in charge at one point of the
3:33 pm
adjudication of disciplinary matters for the fbi. and the lack of candor, which is just a term of art for lying, in the course of an inquiry was the most serious charge that could be made. every agent knew that that would result in your firing. i have to be swayed even though i respect andy mccabe's service and he was known as a very competent agent that because the charge was initially levelled by the inspector general, independent person and adjudicated within the fbi by career fbi people who then recommended his dismissal, that's powerful message to me. eric: do you think he should be charged with a crime? i mean look, you have got george papadopoulos charged, pled guilty -- pled guilty lying to the fbi.
3:34 pm
what usually happens? should mccabe be indicted or do they usually give him a pass? >> no, they don't give him a pass, eric. i would argue with that phrasing. the fact is legally speaking not every lie is a crime that can be prosecuted. that has to be sorted out by the prosecutors as to whether or not what he did rises to the level of a crime. it certainly rises to the level of the most serious kind of misconduct, punishable by dismissal, and that's what happened to him. he's still got the right of appeal. he has some avenues to appeal this thing, but for now he's been fired. whether or not he deserves to be prosecuted, i have to leave that judgment to the prosecutors. eric: we will see what is in mr. horowitz's report, the inspector general when it comes out as expected within perhaps weeks. thank you for your service to our country and for joining us tonight. >> thank you, eric. arthel: chicago's former top cop is running for mayor.
3:35 pm
former police superintendent gary mccarthy was fired by chicago mayor rahm emanuel back in 2015 because of the sharp up tick of homicides in the city. but now mccarthy wants to prove that he can turn crime around as mayor. we explain how. >> corruption, school closings and violent crime. we don't have to live like this. >> chicago's former top cop gary mccarthy is setting the stage for a fiery personal chicago mayoral race. campaigning against the man who infamously fired him, mayor rahm emanuel. mccarthy emerging as the law and order candidate who is against what he calls emmanuel's extreme sanctuary status. >> if somebody commits a felony and is convicted, i believe they should do their time in jail here and then get deported >> mayoral candidate mccarthy has a very big fan. >> emmanuel already swinging back with an attack ad tying mccarthy to president trump, who is highly unpopular in chicago.
3:36 pm
>> the trump mccarthy ticket, phenomenally bad for chicago. >> what makes mccarthy's bid so explosive is his campaign against emanuel with what might be emanuel's political achilles heel, this police dash-cam video showing a white chicago police officer shooting a 17-year-old black teen 16 times, killing him. in order to avoid scandal and secure his reelection in 2015, emanuel is accused of burying the video and quickly allowing the city to pay the victim's family, a charge he denies. a federal judge eventually ruled the graphic tape be made public, causing city-wide protests and demands for emanuel's resignation. emanuel initially defended mccarthy and the officer's actions in that tape and then suddenly fired mccarthy. now in any potential debates with mccarthy, for the first time emanuel may have to
3:37 pm
publicly detail his exact involvement in the alleged secrecy of the tape. >> with mccarthy entering the race, it is going to force emanuel to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and i don't think that's happened. >> the officer in that tape is the first chicago placeman ever to be charged with murder -- first chicago policeman ever to be charged with murder and his trial could happen at the same time as the mayoral race facing emanuel to battle the headlines all over again. eric: we continue at this hour to monitor the march for our lives rallies that are taking place across the country today. they are winding down in the east. take a look at that. they are still out in the eats at the city by the -- they are still out in the streets at the city by the way in san francisco, where it is 3:37 p.m. pacific time. the crowds across the country calling for tighter gun control as the trump administration has taken steps to ban those bump stocks. plus the north koreans called him, well, a quote ugly fellow who cannot be regarded as a

arthel: two policemen are dead and four others are injured after a bomb placed under a car exploded. in egypt, it happened earlier today in the coastal city of alexandria. the blast barely missed the city's security director. no group has claimed responsibility. but the explosion happening days ahead of the country's presidential election where the president is expected to be re-elected. eric: former united states ambassador to the united nations
3:43 pm
and fox news contributor john bolton set to become the next national security advisor. he will begin his position in a few weeks replacing mcmaster. the switch coming at a time when north korea and south korea are planning a high level talk in advance of a potential summit between president trump and north korean dictator kim jong-un. so how will ambassador bolton's influence affect the possible meeting and u.s. policy towards pyongyang? joining us now is dr. rebecca grant president of the iris independent research. dr. grant, welcome, first. meeting between south korean president moon and kim, do you think that could actually lead to any concrete results? >> yes, i do. so we're about five days out from the next round in this play- off game, if you will. in about five days, we will see south korea and north korea host some preliminary talks, another round of the talks, and eric, this really is like a sports play-off. every one of these preliminary meetings has to go well or the deal is off.
3:44 pm
so we will be watching carefully to see what the south koreans take away from the next set of meetings. eric: meanwhile using the baseball analogy, i guess the coach has been changed in the middle of the game. you have john bolton now in the dugout. critics have called him a quote warmonger because he's raised the possibility of a preemptive strike against north korea. how do you think u.s. policy would change with bolton taking mcmaster's seat? >> john bolton is a hawk but also a gentleman. he's street smart. he's a washington insider what's useful for trump is that bolton has deep knowledge of iran, of the north korea situation, and because bolton is a hawk, you know, that gives trump the ability to take pretty much any position he needs to going forward. so this is just one more great asset to the team as we approach this really important summit with north korea. i think bolton will be a steady hand and help keep in mind that the military option is always there, alongside our diplomacy.
3:45 pm
eric: he's also pretty blunt. i covered him at the u.n. he's been i guess my partner on sundays for 11 years here on the fox news channel. here he is two weeks ago when we talked about a potential meeting between president trump and kim john un. he says it will be a short meeting because there's one thing on the table, keeping kim on his denuclearization vow. >> i don't think this needs to be a long discussion. if you want to denuclearize we have the ships and planes to do it, we are ready to go. tell us where to show up. if you are not ready for that, then you are not ready to denuclearize and you are not going to string us out and confuse the situation so you can perfect your deliverable nuclear weapons technologies. eric: you would think that's advice he would give to president trump. that's the one issue. what happens if kim says no i'm not going to denuclearize? >> i love bolton's blunt advice. you are right, he's right,
3:46 pm
denuclearization is the key. denuclearization is the reason that we're this close. kim has told the south koreans to tell us that he's ready to talk about denuclearization. now what we don't know is exactly how that's going to take place and we don't know what kim is going to want in order to go ahead and do this. so, you know, they are going to have to do a lot to convince bolton, so south korea first, will have to start sending back some positive signals to say that, one, north korea still has denuclearization on the table. then in the next set of talks, when moon meets with kim jong-un, they are going to have to get more specific and talk about what it is that north korea's expecting, what some of the verification will look like, and what kim jong-un expects in terms of his own security guarantee. so a skeptical blunt bolton is just the right man for trump as we go forward. eric: do you buy that? do you think that kim really
3:47 pm
wants denuclearization? i mean what bolton has always said the past number of sundays is one, kim wants 28,500 u.s. troops out of south korea. two, he wants to reunify both south and north korea and be in charge of it. and number three, he's not giving up his nukes. >> that's what we have to find out. we know that the past year of military pressure, super tight u.n. sanctions, pressure from china, pressure from the u.n., really has changed the situation. eric, when i saw those eight north koreans come to the olympic closing ceremony, they were saying wow, we have got to talk, maybe they're the ones who helped persuade kim. so bolton is right to keep that focus on denuclearization, but remember too, president moon of south korea has a huge investment in seeing this go forward. so we have to pursue it and see if kim really is serious. it's true, he's said he wants to be a new -- a nuclear power?
3:48 pm
is he ready to change? >> he's stalled before and lied. what do you think is his interest and what do you think kim can actually agree to? >> what can kim actually agree to? he can agree to, first, stop all missile tests, which is good. it's not a fully tested arsenal. we want those tests to stop. he has to agree to that. i think he has to agree to a fairly intrusive level of iaea inspection. and then we have the ability to watch what he's up to, recent reports show that there's less activity at one of those nuclear sites. so we have to use all of our great intelligence resources to make sure they are not cheating. they are known cheaters. it is a real concern. but you know, we really do want this go to go forward. my sense is kim jong-un has realized if he wants to stay in power, he's got to deal. the question again is what is he going to want from the u.s. and
3:49 pm
