massive crowds gathering across the country, mostly students taking to the street in the march for our lives. >> i have a dream that enough is enough. >> and to those politicians supported by the nra, i say get your résumes ready. >> there are people up here who disagree on how to regulate guns. i know of no one who doesn't want to stop school shootings. >> we inevitably head down the path over an argue over the second amendment and gun control. it's a legislative role to nowhere. >> president trump, after he previously threatened to veto it. >> a fundamental failure of leadership in congress.

the swamp won on this one. >> this president is very clear that he will not sign another bill like this but he's not going to leave our military, our troops unfunded. robinson rebounded. that's all she wrote. >> and the block. count the basket. that's it >> good sunday morning. >> how do you like waking up to that? >> i love you too. but come on. america loves her voice better. a ton of march madness going on, loyola, come on, sister jean dance in the final four. >> i love march madness.

there's so much spirit to it. you get behind the teams. it's different than the nba because you believe in the teams so much. you either went to the school or your kids did. i don't know there's something much more exciting. >> and you have michigan, which is massive, which is huge and a loyola chicago coming out of nowhere shaking up the cinderella and the big dogs. >> never know what's going to map. >> i think we know who america is pulling for. yesterday if you weren't watching march madness, you might have been marching. the march for the kids in parkland, high school. the biggest rally was in wawrkdz. >washington, d.c. >> 800,000 people marching across the united states yesterday. marching for gun control. a lot of the kids who have been part of the mass shootings. >> i think the 800,000 was d.c. basically and then even more around the country and around the world joining forces on

this. the question is what they're going to get out of it. i think it's terrific for people to speak out. this is a community that has been obviously hit with tragedy and this is what makes america great among other things, the ability to stand up, give your views. and i think the other side, you know, nra and others who don't believe there should be gun control, they need to be heard as well. and i think their voices may have been drowned out a little bit yesterday because you had people giving speeches. >> a lot of celebrities ended up showing up at these things and they were fired up about guns. >> to those politicians supported by the nra that allow the continued slaughter of our children and our future, i say get your résumes ready. let's put the usa over the nra. >> we know it's hard and they will twist our words and laugh at us and lie, and lie and lie and lie and lie. how do they sleep at night?

you are killing children. >> to all of the politicians out there, if you take money from the nra, you have chosen death. if you have not expressed your constituents a public stance on this issue, you have chosen death. if you do not stand with us saying we need gun legislation, you have chosen death. >> the idea that if you don't support their agenda, you're a kid killer. there were kids attacking senator marco rubio. i'm not going to do his bidding, i'm a reporter. marco rubio, look at this poster among others. it mocked his catholic faith, called him a kid killer because he's supported the nra. there are law-abiding citizens who support the second amendment who are gun owners who are safe with their guns, have never committed a crime with those guns and yet they're being attacked as kid killers. >> the only people that are

killing children and killing people are these deranged individuals that get their hands own these guns that are mentally ill. as you're saying, you have these extremes now. we can't talk about guns in a rational way in this country. it's either you support the nra and therefore you support killing children or everyone is taking all of our guns away. it doesn't seem like we have a middle ground. and until we have a conversation, i'm not sure we can find policy changes that can make a difference gl i feel for these kids, they have a right to speak out and they should. but forgive me if i don't want a lesson on the second amendment from a 16-year-old. my world, i want a world without islamicist. i wish that were true too. the second amendment is not about hunting or self-defense only, it's free people and checks on a tyrannical government. they shouldn't be giving me lessons on the second amendment. they have the right to do what they want. and my reaction is, i donated to

the nra this morning. we live in a free country where we have a debate about first principles. that's one of the first principles, the right to march and be heard. but just like my right to defend myself and my family and my country with a firearm more or less of my church. i think that's a sensible debate to have. and they should be thanking president trump today. he passed fix nix of fix. local municipalities were not forced to input information about people that commit crimes into the database to background checks weren't achecking. worki. >> now know what they didn't mention is what happened at this school in maryland where i live where an armed man who was there to protect the children in that high school actually took the shooter down. the idea of making kids away will make kids safer. in that example, you had someone who was armed and trained and knew how to use the weapon and

took the shooter out. that's not mentioned yesterday as well. let's get your e-mails, what you think about this, friends at fox news.com. >> no one was hurt yesterday. you think about the amount of people that showed up at these rallies. we should celebrate the fact that you can go out there and you have the freedom of speech. you can talk about things that you're passionate about whether you agree with it or not, whether you're for the second amendment or not. this is something you don't have in other countries. we should celebrate that every morning, no one does get hurt. >> nbc poll said 58% of americans say gun ownership increases safety and that's up from 1999. >> look at the school in pennsylvania, while these students marched, the superintendent has a plan to keep the kids safe by arming kids with a bucket of rocks. listen to the superintendent, blue mountain school district. >> every classroom has been

equipped with a 5 gill long bucket full of river stone. if an armed intruder attempt to gain entrance to any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full of students with rocks and they will be stoned. >> so we reached out to the school. we haven't heard a comment yet. can you explain this? >> five-gallon bucket full of river stone. i don't want to make thought of this. the thought of someone coming to a classroom with a weapon is serious business. if you're going to respond to that, then have a serious proposal. literally you're going to ask an 8-year-old to pick up a river stone and throw it? it's fundamentally unserious and i think it reflects that people who know there's a reality or a threat but they're not equipped to think about serious thing to do something about it. when the teacher talks about arming teachers, a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. not a child with a rock.

it's p pathetic. >> some of the kids were saying in the rallies yesterday we're of the mass shooting generation. we're 17 years old and we've been dealing with this for 17 years. we didn't go to school growing up in fear. we don't need to make a lot of changes with guns or you want to take them all away. what is the right call? what should we be doing? gl that's why we shouldn't dismiss hundreds of thousands of children and dulls coming together saying let's do something. the key is what we're going to do about it np the case about david hobbs, the student getting a lot of attention, going after senator rubio and others, he's lashing out at broward county for insisting that they have clear backpacks at the schools. and he said that violates his first amendment rights because they can see what's in the backpack but forgetting about our second amendment. he's concerned that the clear

backpack is going to violate the first amendment. >> maybe there's some consistency. is he lashing against the sheriff that didn't respond, the fbi that didn't respond, all of the ways the federal government failed us. >> not just federal, local. the deputy who was cowering in the parking lot. >> i mean, those things, facts have to matter. and there is an instance that get get much coverage this week of an armed trained personnel inside the school saving the lives of kids because he knew how to use a weapon. >> what should we do about it? we'll love to hear from you, friends at fox news.com. i do want to bring you other headlines we're following. we want to begin with a fox news alert. two firefighter killed while responding to a crash. their fire truck with five fighters on board flipping over on the way to a crash in west virginia. the prat volunteer truck hit a

welcomeback. former fbi deputy director andy mccabe speaking out in a column in the "washington post." the title "not in my worst nightmare did i dream my frib cleafbicareer would end this wa"

she said mccabe targeted her and ended her career after she filed a sexual harassment complaint. who is the real andrew mccabe. robin ritz joins me now first of all for the viewers, share your story as it relates to mr. mccain. > mccabe.>> i worked with andy m around 2005 to the end of my career, different capacities. i was at the washington field awches. he was my assistant special agent in charge. and then when i went back to counterterrorism in 2012, he was the assistant director over the counterterrorism division. >> and what happened to you that caused your dismissal? >> i was selected as a senior

detailee to the cia. i had two individuals, my boss and coworker started scrutinizing my work and started asking questions about was i fragile from getting divorced, maybe i should step down and take a less stressful job. and they just made some also some discriminatory comments about why i was traveling and such. at the same time, they were doing similar talks like this to an african-american detailee that worked with me. i put my foot down, said this needed to stop. i talked to my supervisor on the phone and i said this needs to stop, i feel like i'm being treated differently. as i started another sentence, he says, well if you take that route i'll put your time cards. he threatened if i got another eo. >> that pepper wasn't andy

mccabe. how was andy mccabe involved or how was he? >> he was. when i filed by eeo, when i made contact with the eeo, five days later andy mccabe signed off on a internal investigation referred to him by the individuals that i signed the eeo against and he authorized that internal to no pr, what he just got fired from, and he authorized that investigation against me. and knowing, he says in his sworn statement, that he knew that i was either filing or going to file an eeo. what happened after that, basically i had -- i went through hell a year and a half and andy made sure i couldn't get out of the division. i was selected for certain jobs and he actually slandered me, went into the meeting at headquarters and said really

nasty things about me, lying, which is why he just got fired. and after a year and a half, it got to the point where they wero win. >> sure. >> and i ended up resigning after 16 years fighting terror with the fbi. >> well, ro robin, in light of that, what do you make of how andy mccabe is characterizing his dismissal and sort of playing the victim? >> you know, i talked to a few people. the night that he got fired i would have to say he is talking in his op-ed how the president doesn't understand the fbi and how much they respect their leaders. he's talking about that trump is trying to discorrupt the russia investigation, everything like that. what i got that night was a good 50 messages from analysts and

from agents across the united states celebrating that he finally was held accountable. and i actually was in a restaurant and i screamed when i found out he had been fired. and i feel it should have been a good year ago that he was on the street without pay. because if you're a normal street agent would have been on leave without pay or fired about a year ago. >> well ro robin, i think you sk for a lot of people. account about matters and when it doesn't exist it's corrosive, when it does people are grateful. thank you for your time and for your service for this country. students marching for gun control and speaking out about the right to bear arms. >> i think that the second amendment at this time is outdated. i think that the wording needs to be revisits. >> that second amendment just outdated. well, kevin phillips talked to a lot of them.

a hostage inside the supermarket. president trump tweeted calling the officer a great hero. >> he really is a true example of heroism. >> students at march for or lives in washington on saturday was quick to call for a ban or assault weapons. do they know what that means? listen. >> we're banning an assault weapon. do you know what an assault weapon is? >> yeah. assault weapon. it's like a -- what is an assault weapon? >> i'm not even against assault weapons. i'm pretty much against all guns. >> like i know, i guess. >> so here with more, media director for campus reform. we're talking about david hobs, talking about i don't want the clear backpacks because it might violate my first amendment. >> the students are motivated and they want action.

but when you're ignoring sound policy because you want to take action because you're angry, that's when it becomes a problem. it's not about making people look stupid. but if you're advocating for policy that's going to affect americans, you need to be ready for a real world debate. this is going to affect millions of americans and if you don't know about it's important. >> it's about the second amendment, what is it, what does it mean. there is some misunderstanding today about that. >> we asked people about the second amendment, does it apply here and we have some of the responses. >> i think that the second amendment at this time is outdated. i think that the wording needs to be revisited. >> it was meant for a different time. >> i think the constitution itself is something that's outdated. >> i don't think it applies in today's society. >> i don't think it leads to anything good or productive or peaceful. >> and one of the most common things we heard is that the founding fathers could never imagine the evolution of the

second amendment. what about we curtailing free speech because there's new way to get our free speech out there. for anyone wondering if they're teaching constitutional rights amendments in class, i think there's a lack of understanding what the second amendment is intended for and what it's about. if we simply count important rights for american because it gives us a sense of security but takes away the liberty, is it based on policy or fear. >> there's a process. you can't say it's outdated and get rid of it. if you want to do it, do it right. >> and be forthcoming about what you're advocating for. a lot of the people say it's not about taking guns away and then you go on the street and many people say no, we want to take guns away. be forthcoming so we can have an open discussion. >> watching this makes you realize why we can't have a real conversation. many are coming from such extremes then many don't know what they're talking about.

>> when you're passionate and don't know what you're talking about, it's the worst of both worlds. >> and sadly you support gun laws or support children dying in schools. that's not what this is but saturdayly that'sadly that's wh. >> who wants to be a millionaire. 700,000 americans did in 2017. >> what change in 2017? two teams punching their ticket to the final four and today two more will do the same. jordan schultz of yahoo! sports is here next. first we're joined by the u.s. air force academy band. they're outside, it's cold and dark but they are amazing. take it away. ♪ ♪

good without god. that's been a dismal failure. would like to remine our viewers that for the first 150 years of our history our children prayed, read scripture in school and memorized the ten commandments. and yet about 60 years ago the supreme court says that's unconstitutional. i think we need to return to that, teaching people, starting with our children that there is a god to whom they're accountable. it's not the only thing we need to do to end gun violence but it's the first thing we need to do. >> we've got 30 seconds. i was reading some of the tweets. one person said i'm tired of people out there bashing the president 24/7. we now you're a supporter of the president. what message do you have for the people who bash him nonstop. what message do you have to the president, your friend about what he can do to bring the country together? >> he is doing an exceptional job, accomplished more in his first year than any president in history. and president trump is the most

faith friendly president we've ever had and that includes ronald reagan and george w. bush. i would tell my friend the president to stay the course, keep moving forward, we love you and we're proud of you. >> good luck. >> thank you. all right. well, build that wall. just minutes ago president trump making a major announcement concerning the southern border wall. we're going to share it with you next. plus, mike huckabee, jason chaffetz and pat buchanan haul here on the show this morning. we've got three big hours to go. you guys ready? ♪ ♪

marching the streets or watching all of the people that went to d.c. and across the country marching for our lives. it was all over the place. >> and these were led by the kids in parkland high school, the largest rally, the flagship in washington, d.c. withi, the h for our lives. a lot of kids and people there passionate for the cause as it pertains to the second amendment. but the rhetoric from the stage, from them and celebrities -- celebrities can't stay away -- it's turned against of course republicans and the nra. take a listen to what they said yesterday. >> to all of the politicians out there, if you take money from the nra, you have chosen death. if you have not expressed to your constituents ap public stance on this issue. you have chosen death. if you do not stand with us by staying we need to stop common sense gun legislation, you have chosen death. >> we know it's hard and we know they will twist our words and laugh at us and lie, and lie and

lie and lie and lie. how do they sleep at night. you are killing children. >> first off were i'm going to start off by putting this price tag right here as a remindedder to you guys to know how much marco rubio took for every student's life in florida. 1.05. >> rubio tweeted out about this said he was all in favor and supportings the protesters. >> he took money from the nra. you have a first amendment right to speak out, to smar, to accept money. look at what they did to him. they mocked his catholic faith, calling him a kid killer. >> blood on your hands. >> in are law-abiding members of the nra who had nothing to do with what happened in parkland. what they did not mention at all yesterday was what happened at

another high school in maryland just this past week where a trained, armed professional took down a shooter. it would have been a lot more lives lost, a much bigger tragedy but for that. and that's not being talked about. >> that's not being talked about. i do want to point out you had, i think, 800,000 people in d.c. alone. so maybe over a million all together because it was across the country. but you have a lot of the students, you hear them speak, they're articulate and passionate about an issue they care about and they say we are the mass shooting generation, we're 17 years old. we've had mass shootings for 17 years. i think we should support the protests. no one was hurt. the problem i have is what do we get out of this. does this lead to any real policy change. we can go out there and rah, rah but what does it lead to. >> we can support the protest. these were dressed up resist rallies. spare me if i don't want to hear

the sanctimonious of the 17-year-old. they have the right to the point. it doesn't make them an expert on the second amendment at all. the second amendment is not just for hunters or self-defense. it's for free people to defend themselves. these 17-year-olds should go back to civics class. you can protest, you have you rights, i respect that but maybe you should learn a little more about what this country represents as far as -- you got a 9-year-old on stage. god bless her and her grandfather, martin luther king did so much for this country but she's saying i dream of a world without guns. i dream about a world out islamists too. but unfortunately the media is propping up kids and using them to push an agenda. saying marco rubio has blood on his hands. >> there's no ground here. >> but it strikes me as well over the point. >> but you have him say fg you support the nra then you support children.

and then you hear the other saying we want zero change, you're taking all of our guns away. we can't have a rational conversation and that's frustrating. we want common sense. we don't want to live in a world where parents feel nervous taking their kids to school. >> there's an opportunity for one person and that's president trump. he said weeks ago after this tragedy, we hent dow went down h the first lady, felt their pain, gathered democrats an republicans in the cabinet room saying you guys have been talking about this before i came to washington, you're scared of the nra, i can work with the nra, let's do something. >> i give him credit for that. >> he didn't follow up. >> we haven't seen the past presidents bring people from all sides of the aisle together to have a real conversation about guns and moving forward. president trump was able to do that. what does he do from there? >> the protesters should be thanking president trump. inside the bill was the fixed nix problem that fixing a national database which is incompleut so wheincomplete so n

background checks there are certain instances not included there. we don't want people with mental illness, felony convictions or dishonorable dismissals from the military. not a word thanking the president for doing something about it. instead a lot of what we heard on the stage is we want to take your guns. and my only response was to donate to the nra. >> what do you think should be done? what did you think of the protest yesterday? your comments have been pouring in. keep sending them to us. this from lou, i respect their right to protest peace dpli andd now they must respect my rights. >> kind of hypocritical to slam marco rubio when your said it's not a red or blue problem. >> but the irony and the hypocrisy is so many of them say it's not political and then they jump to -- the hit on marco rubio. >> it's beat up on the

president. >> another e-mail says march is a good example of how to unite as one but the message that some of the message some were encouraged to send got murky. >> a great point. >> it's families, classrooms, mental health. so many aspects. >> we mentioned that there's a lot more than gun control from the last viewer. there's a lot more that the president is dealing with. he's trying to fight illegal immigration and he's up this morning early tweeting about the wall saying much can be done with $1.6 billion giving to building and fixing the border wall. it is just a down payment. work with start immediately. the rest of the money will come. remember daca, the democrats abandoned you but we will not. >> this is coming two days after signing the omnibus bill that he was not happy about signing.

>> there were a lot of the base that were upset with him signing that bill, too much spending, there wasn't enough of what they wanted and what the president promised they would give him. >> and the president you can tell from the photo in the press conference, he didn't want -- he was conflicted. he didn't want to sign it. you can tell but the other tweet he has out this morning is about the defense department. how much money was spent on the military. for him, that was his reason for signing the dill. and he's chiding democrats, if you care about daca, why were they never part of the calculation. and i think it's fair to ask, do they hate the wall more than they love dreamers. democrats. i think there's such a resist movement. they hate the president so much they can't give an inch eve when the president is willing to give a foot. pathway to citizenship for illegals, that's not something i signed up for. he's continuing to draw. >> you have the lawmakers that

this week there was another media meltdown, this time over president trump's call 0 yes, vladimir putin. >> this would be like j. edgar hoover as the director of the fbi calling al capone to

congratulate him on a bank robbery. >> president trump to this day has said nastier things about me, don lemon, chuck todd, meryl streep and the cast of "hamilton" than he has of current human rights represser vladimir putin. >> i think president barack obama called vladimir putin to congratulate him. it comes as a white house leak. advisers told the president do not congratulate putin. and our next guest says this is the latest work of the deep state. patrick buchanan joins us live, a syndicated columnist and a former senior presidential adviser. good morning, pat. >> good morning. how are you? >> why do you believe this is all about the deep state? >> here's a member of the nsc, probably prepared a paper fur the president's secret. the president makes a phone call to putin which he told people he would try to do.

it's leaked to the "washington post." everybody pounds the president of the united states as an appeaser. his source is protected. he's high up in the government of the united states, probably right in the white house, maybe close to the oval office. it's a pristine example, ed, of the deep state in this city which is the permanent regime and in collusion with the mainstream media which has lost all sense of objective tif and neutrality and the goal is to break and bring down this president. >> how do you think they're trying to do that? would you throw into the mix andrew mccabe, peter strzok? awas you know, the suggestion ws made that this was people inside the fbi and the justice department trying to frame the president. >> listen, i accept that totally. initially i did comey had done the right thing and wrote a column when he said hillary, we don't want to make the decision on her. but you learn now that the fix was in for hillary, she got off.

she had lawyers with us when she talked. no notes were taken. and i think the effort was clearly designed, led by comey at the fbi. basically to exonerate hillary and then to make sure that after trump was elected to bring him down. and i think it's been well-established in the deep state, you want to see the operation. they are not covering that aspect of this so-called russiagate scandal. they're focused on mueller and did the president of the united states collude, you know, with putin to have the dnc and hillary's campaign which nobody believes. >> so you worked in the nixon white house, of course. and that came crashing down. you chronicled some of that in "nixon's white house wars" a great new book. but could both be true, that there's some sort of conspiracy to go after the president but that people inside the white house, inside the campaign made mistakes that might be giving

mueller fodder here? >> you're exactly right. let me talk about the nixon aspect. nixon blundered badly, no question about it. but look what he had. he had the special prosecutor on him, the watergate committee, both houses of congress against him, the fbi was leaking to the "washington post." so nixon made mistakes but the point was he won with 49-state landslide in "72 and the deep state attempted to bring him down. did he blunder and help bring about his own demise. yes. but the objective was the demise. >> patrick beu ca buchanan, thar coming in. michael hannah return from iraq in 2008 with a murder charge. he was found guilty after killing a terror suspect in the iraqi desert. now he's seeking a pardon from the president in hopes of finding a little forgiveness his parent parents join us live.

airborne in a dicey part of iraq. he knew what he was signing up for. what happened when he was over there. >> i can tell you, michael has been very patriotic. felt it was his responsibility to serve his country. there was an ied explosion that killed two of his soldiers and then after that he read military intelligence reports that identified terrorists and al qaeda operative for being responsible for that attack. after he read those reports, they took him into custody. he was released. and then michael, before he was released decided to do a field interrogation to get information to protect his troops. >> we used to call that, i was a platoon operator in iraq. we called it the iraqi catch and release program. you catch them, hold them a few days and then release them. your son went into a culvert with this terrorist, tried to interrogate him.

your son says something happened. the army thinking otherwise. please. >> well, he was initially charged with executing man sewer. because of the ied attack the evidence showed and michael's testimony revealed that in fact he shot him in self-defense. like i said, the evidence showed that and michael, you know, he accepts what happens to him. however, you know, he wants to recover and become whole after, you know. >> his testimony shows he says that the terrorist used a chunk op concrete to try to attack him, tried to grab his weapon. in self-defense he shot him, army put him in prison an prison

he was revealed. he's out and you're hoping for a pardon. what do you think the president can give your son. >> michael accepted responsibility. was the decision to do the interrogation the ultimate consequences and that is the shooting when the terrorist tried to take michael's weapon from his the best decision he made? probably not. and he accepts responsibility for that. but one of the things that i know this country and society is built on is forgiveness and that's what michael is asking, is for forgiveness so that he can move past this. i mean he's not a criminal nor are any of the men that were charge as a result of things that happened in iraq or afghanistan. and what he wants is the ability to start anew. and a pardon would give him that. >> scott unfortunately this is not just a unique story. i served with cory who was in prison and finally released. you've got a platoon leader in afghanistan who is still in

prison in eleve eleven worth. you make a decision, you're judged to have been found guilty and now you're stuck in prison. you draw the contrast, you've got guys in guantanamo bay who are held there and then released to certain countries. talk to us about how your son is doing right now and what it would mean for him to be fully pardoned. >> michael is doing very well. he's been out of prison for four years now. he's a rancher. we never would have expected that of michael. but he's doing very well. he thinks about his soldiers he lost every day. in fact he named his ranch after two of them. but he's doing well. he just, he would like, you know, the ability to you know be free from parole. be able to cross the interstate where his jurisdiction, the

federal jurisdiction ends without permission to go across. so he's doing very well but at the same time he feels like he could be whole with a pardon forgiveness of the president. >> this is a huge issue. his name is first lieutenant michael ba henna. he served our country in iraq, fighting terrorists, ultimately imprisoned for it. now looking for a upon do pardo. thank you for your time. good luck. coming up, former fbi director andy mccabe lashing out about the way he was fired. but a former fbi special agent says mccabe is not the victim, she is. hear from her just ahead. and some conservatives are angry over the president signing the omnibus spending bill. mike huckabee is one of them and he's coming up next to share

a matter of national security i have signed this omnibus budget bill. there are a lot of things i'm unhappy about in this bill. there are a lot of things that we shouldn't have had in this bill but we were in a sense forced if we want to build our military, we were forced to have. but i say to congress, i will never sign another bill like this again. i'm not going to do it again. >> that was the president on friday defending his decision to sign the omnibus bill even though he looked quite conflicted about it. we're going to bring in mike huckabee, former gop presidential candidate. governor, what say you about

this omnibus bill? >> i call it the omni-bs bill. i was very disappointed in it. i feel like the gop betrayed the voters. and i wonder what purpose did we put you in the majority. what you have to have is an extraordinary strength of strength when you go into the negotiating room and put things on the table and say on these things we will not give. one of them would be the defending of planned parenthood which is a very just incredibly important thing for those of us who have fought to put pro-life people in office and they betrayed us by continuing to give $500 million to an organization that slaughters unborn children and sells the body parts. this is an outrage to every person who is pro-life in this country. i was briefly encouraged when the president said he would veto or considering a veto of the bill and deeply disappointed when it got signed. i understand, i'm happy about

the military funding. delighted by that. but the republicans should have said we're going to do this because we both should agreed. democrats and republicans should fund the military and give them what they need. but we here not going to fund the slaughter of unborn children. >> wha you heard the president y this is the last time i'm going to sign something like that. he hasn't been in politics. so he's continued to be surprise by how swampy the swamp is. so next time this comes around you've got 24 hours to read an over 2,000-page bill. if you're president trump how do you handle this differently? what do you do? >> well, one of the reasons that he's a better negotiator in these things than republicans who are in leadership are is because they don't know what he's going to do. he doesn't give away all of his cards. he didn't told them out and say y'all see what i have. let's play the game now. that's what they do. there are things that the

democrats know the republicans will cave on. they know they'll give a good lip service to things like the life issue but they're not serious about it because they never have been. so they also promised they would never pass a bill they hadn't read. and it would have taken 131.7 pages a day to read that. >> pull a nancy pelosi, sa they said they would never do that but here they are. >> rand paul got it right. republicans run as conservatives when they're in the minority but when nay govern a they govern as when they get elected. >> what do you think about these big march for lives rallies tomorrow. on one hand we have a first amendment in this country. it's great that the young people are getting active. hathey want to speak out. there are people in a lot of the communities across this country who have experienced horrible tragedy. but what comes next in. >> i salute these students for

their passion and energy and for their interest in helping to shape public policy but i would say this to them. emotional is a terrible substitute for truth. it's a terrible substitute for facts. they've been used by believing if they ban a certain type of firearm that things are going to be better. here ooh are the facts. five times more people are killed in america by knives than they are by rifles. it's true that 86% of the 20,000 police chiefs and sheriffs in america do not support repealing concealed carry but rather support it and they don't support more gun control methods. if that were the case, they would be the first one to say, we've got to get rid of certain weapons. and another fact you don't hear very often is that america has very guns than any other country on earth, 300 million. gun ownership actually increased between the years of 1993 and

2003 but gun violence -- murder by guns went down by half during that period of time. >> what's the answer, governor? >> no one says those things. >> the answer is all these network anchors shedding crocodile tears about how they want gun control, why don't they control their mouths. quit giving 'em fa my t 'em fame these animals what they're desperately looking for, attention that they never got from the crib to the moment they either got shot or went to jail. that's one thing to do. and we never hear that. >> truth over emotion, we don't hear that in a lot of channels. we're hearing it this morning. >> thank the cops armed protecting the protesters as well. i don't think they realize the irony. turning now to other headlines, a 45-year-old man accused of fleeing the country with a 16-year-old girl is now

back in pennsylvania. authorities extraditing kevinesterly from miami where he was in custody after being arrested by federal agents in mexico. investigators say the two may have been romantically involved for years. married father of four is charged with interference of custody of children. and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe is speaking out in a washington post column about his recent firing. now we're getting the other side from a former agent who says her career was ruined by mccabe saf she filed a sexual discrimination claim against her supervisors. she joined us earlier and described the backlash she's now getting. >> after a year and a half it got to point where they were -- i knew i wasn't going to win. and i ended up resigning after 16 years fighting terror with the fbi. >> she went on to say that mccabe's firing was long overdue. one candy shop has a sweet way to honor our heroes this

the city council basically that we would honor and focus on the u.s. constitution. and we think that this law directly conflicts with that. >> this ask a stop guardian ad litem that locals working with federal government. >> i take it personal, the safety of my residents. so i think this law just makes us less safe. it's about letting criminals out of jail period. >> so just how far will this movement spread. >> the mayor of huntington beach california mike posey joins us. you're the latest to come out and really have issues with what's going on in california. why is this so important to you? >> good morning, yes. the issue is important to me because we've been watching what's happening in the sacramento state legislature with the continued march forward of local control. and sb54 is one more brick in the wall, if you will, that seek to take away local control from local elected officials. there is a constitutional

overreach that i'm bringing forward with my mayor pro tem eric peterson, a directive to our city attorney to look at what are the avenues that we can explore to exempt ourselves from sb54. we want to maintain local control since huntington beach is a charter city, we may have specific exemptions that ashow w us to move forward. we're hope thafl the city taryn can give us that direction. >> what are the consequences of the sanctuary cities in your city? >> the biggest consequence for me is the constitutional overreach and lack of local control if we dive deep into the effects of it, there are some exemptions in sb54 that precludes us from pursuing the prosecution of those that may have committed what would be classified as felonies that are now

misdemeanors that are exemptions from prop 47. that's another sthaw's taken local control away from us as well. and in prop 47 we reduced what used to be felony grand theft, if the car is $949 or less it's a misdemeanor. we've got all kinds of things they're tying our hands of law enforcement. and it's really a removal of local control. i took an oath of office. .>> what about the federal government continuing to fund sanctuary cities. there was an effort to block all of that and yet in the omnibus it continues on unabating. >> yeah. mimy issue is about what's happening in sacramento, maintaining local control and bringing local control back and upholding my oath of office. >> but if those sanctuary states and cities continue to be funded, you continue to have a problem. mayor of huntington beach, thank

you. >> thanks for getting up with us. >> thank you for having me. still to come, we've got a big show, mercedes schlapp from the white house and jason shay veetchaffetz here. the congresswoman backing the bill joins us live right after this. more and more people are finding themselves in a chevrolet for the first time. trying something new can be exciting.

in god we trust may soon be required to be displayed in tennessee schools for all students to see. >> tennessee state susan lynn sponsored the in god we trust bill and she joins us now.

congrats on the success of your bill. why the bill to say we need to display in god we trust in our public schools. >> i think it's a wonderful bill. it will -- well in god we trust is a guiding principle for our nation. it's now and ever shall be and those are not my words. those are actually president john f. kennedy's words. and i think it will be a really good thing to have this in our school. it's a happy bill, a bill that brings people together. and i want to thank any colleagues too for voting for the bill and being so support ty. supportive. we're doing things right in tennessee and this is one of those things. >> obviously not everyone agrees with that. they say we should be moving away from those sorts of things. what has the reaction been where you are? >> actually i haven't had very much negative e-mail at all or phone calls. maybe two or three. most of my e-mail and phone calls have been -- has been wildly supportive.

in my district i have a legislative survey out right now and the support is up in the 90s for this legislation. >> well i love this bill. but we've been ripping god out of public schools for years yet in god we trust it's on our money, on our license plates, in our national anthem. it is central to imh who we are? a country. what do you hope to accomplish for kids in school who will walk past in god we trust every day. >> the students, if they want to, they can paint a mural and put yt in god we trust "in an open place. put it next to the constitution or the declaration of independent. home hopini'm hoping that the ph will donate plaque to the schools. i intend to take poster to my schools to have them put up in a prom nebt place for the students to see it. >> as you said, it's a happy bill, something we should be supporting.

we're talking to you a day after we've seen all of these marches across the country about school shootings and oftentimes in the classrooms people feel affray, . how do you balance those things as you're now think abouing abot what you want to add, "in god we trust" to the classroom. how will that lift spirits right now? >> as we see what's happening with students in our schools, with things going on, i think it's really time for people to realize again, it's not a government in which we trust, we try and try and try to make things safer in this nation. we pass law after law after law. and let's just reminded ourselves that it's in god we trust. i think that will be a really positive things in our school. >> such a great remindedder. never been in government we trust. good luck. we'll follow up with you representative susan lynn great to be with you this morning. all right. coming up, the president says work on the border wall will

year. it's republicans and democrats joining hands together to blow a hole in the debt. >> went down in the same way it's gone down last 10 years in the row. like ground hog's day. whenever you are running um to the date you know it's going to be a disaster. we have got to get back to basic business, not running trillion-dollar deficits every year as far as the eye can see. >> 2300 pages less than 24 hours. no member read that bill. and no member knows everything that's in that bill. we will be facing a blood bath in the 2018 election if this is the substantive action of the 118th congress. >> this may have been the worst bill i have senile in congeght the worst bill the leadership has allowed to come to the floor. >> call it the omni-bs bill. pete: a lot of prominent conservatives unhappy. >> the president had sent his budget up last year. and they never voted on it. so, at that point, when we are going from one short-term spending bill to another short-term spending

bill, it gets to the point that this is what congress put forward. and with that being said, the president made it very clear, he said it was a ridiculous situation. he also said that this is a last time he would sign this type of bill. at the same time his highest priority is to protect the american people there were things in that bill that lined up with the president's priorities. that being the largest pay increase for our military troops. that ensuring that our national defense has what it needs to be able to be prepared for our global threats. i mean, you are talking about more money and the confrontation against isis. you are talking about the fact for so long our military had experienced defense cuts and all of a sudden we are going to see that for example, moral aircraft, more tools and resources that our military needs in order to do its job. ed: mercedes, all of that is good for our military and everybody wants a strong national defense. you are making this like the

president is an innocent by stander here and this all on congress' lap. i thought he campaigned as the best negotiator and he was going to fix this. >> you have to understand there is the reality of the senate that you need 60 votes. you need the democrats to get on board. obviously, the democrats haven't played ball. you take the case of immigration where the president presented a very generous compromise when it came to the daca recipients as well as securing the border. the democrats refused to come to the table. so it makes it incredibly frustrating. why the president has called to end the filibuster rule in the senate. and it's why, at this point, the president is saying i'm not going to sign a bill like this again. it does provide -- now, the positive part about thi this is it does provide an initial down payment for the wall. we will get new construction for the wall, which is very important for the president. it's one of his top promises that he has made to the american people. because as we know, drugs keep flowing in. as we know, ms-13 gang members keep coming. in and the reality is we

have to put a stop to that and the border will help. pete: the president up this morning tweeting about that very topic. he tweeted this. saying much can be done with the 1.6 billion given to building and fixing the border wall. it is just a down payment. work will start immediately. the rest of the money will come and remember, daca, democrats abandoned you but we will not. the president has been focused on say i want wall by democrats never came to the table on daca. do you ever anticipate this being involved. >> this is where democrats need to make a decision. the democrats have become the party of open borders, the party of protecting criminal aliens. as we know the president has been pushing for an end to sanctuary cities. you are starting to see these california cities saying, you know what i want to opt out of the sanctuary city law in california. i mean, this something that the president feels is a top priority. and, remember, this $1.6 billion in the new construction of border wall

and fencing, that's for a six month period. we need to make sure those republicans in the house and astronaut that are able to make sure that the president gets what he needs in order to ensure we are able to build that wall. abby: the president is up tweeting about a lot of things this morning including russia that continues on. he says look, we are not bringing any new lawyers into the russia probe. many lawyers and top law enforcements wanlawlawfirms wan. fame and fortune will never be turned down by lawyer, though some are conflict you had. problem is a new lawyer or law firm will take months to get up to speed if for no other reason they can bill more. i'm very happy with my existing team. besides, there was no collusion with russia, except by crooked hillary and the dems. mercedes, have you that going on but also what seems to be some news coming out of russian diplomats being expelled from the country based off of what happened

in the u.k. poisoning of a spy there and his daughter is a terrible story. that seems to be happening today and like itly throughout the days to come. policywise, he is being tough on russia. but, at the same time, have you got the probe continuing on. help explain all this. >> clearly, i think when you look at the reckless and abhorrent behavior of the russians in this dealing with the nerve gas agent in the u.k., obviously we stand with our allies. the president is looking at a variety of options. and the president, as we know, his administration has put on serious sanctions on russia. and continued to obviously work closely with ukraine. and, again, keep sending a very strong message to russia as we know the russians have done in terms of the u.k. assessment on this russian issue with the nerve agent is incredibly, it's disturbing. ed: what's the message to robert mueller is the president at war with him.

>> no. the president has been and his team transparent and cooperative with the special counsel. and as the president has said, there is no collusion in terms of russia. pete: mercedes, as you know, there was a big march yesterday near the white house. and a lot of young people call for more gun control. the president has said he wants to get his arms around. this fix nics was included in the omnibus. from the white house's perspective, are there next steps and if so what should they be on the issue of gun control? >> well, the president listened to parents, to students, to variety of stakeholders on this issue. as we saw in the omnibus bill, there was two important components there. that of the fix nics. gaps in the background checks between hat military and civilian systems have. that closes that gap. secondly, it's providing funding. this is the stop of school violence act. this is something that sandy hook families agree with. it's providing this funding. this evidence-based funding to be able to research and

deal with these issues you have gun violence. as we know the president and his administration just issued a rule in terms of banning bump stocks. something that president obama and his administration had allowed. now, that's being banned to ensure that if you have these legal firearms that you cannot convert them into illegal machine guns. the president also established a school safety commission looking into teacher into these issues. is he calling for extreme risk protective orders across the country. this is to ensure that you keep guns way from dangerous individuals, those who are a threat to themselves and a threat to society. it is a top priority to this administration. he has taken immediate action and stay focused on this issue. ed: we started this interview with talking about you being a mother of five. i wonder what you think as not just someone who works in the white house but as a mom to see some of these kids, it's awesome they are speaking out. they went through tragedy. they have every right in this country to speak out. some of them going to the podium and calling marco rubio a kid killer pause he

supports the nra. the nra largely being law abiding citizens in this country. we're showing this hateful poster that was at one of the rallies mocking marco rubio's catholic faith. how do you react to that? >> i have got to tell you, the beauty of america is the first amendment. but the beauty of america is second amendment as well. not only about freedom of speech. this is about the ability of individuals, law abiding individuals to be able to carry firearms. so i think there is a sense of understanding these students can go out and speak their minds. that's important. at the same time, it's also understanding that the president and his administration, they are supporters of the second amendment as senator marco rubio is. and so i think the key is to kealy understand and get educated on these important issues at the end of the day, we want to make sure that the good people are the ones who are able to carry the firearms. we want to keep the firearms out of the hands of dangerous individuals because that is just what

the priority is right now to make sure these individuals should not be able to have access to firearms. that's what we are focused on. abby: there is a real balance in this conversation that we all need to find that balance at some point. >> as parents, we have to educate our children on this. abby: that's true. pete: and how to use and train properly on firearms ultimately. use them responsibly. it's a good guy with a gun that stops a bad guy with a gun. >> that's correct. abby: mother of five. unbelievable. mercedes. i need all of your tips ought some point. >> call me. abby: good to see you this morning. ed: former fbi director andy mccabe still in the news lashing out about the way he was fired. a former congressman and chair of the house oversight committee jason chaffetz has been all over this story from the beginning. is he here to weigh in with facts, not fix next. pete: plus namaste day

rocks. >> i was actually march yesterday abby. there was a lot of law enforcement and military there. i don't think they had rocks in hand. they had guns in hand. because they knew if a gunman showed up, that's what they were going to need to protect everybody there around them. look, this is a debate where i think everybody involved wants our schools to be safer. and if putting a bucket of rocks in a classroom as a secondary measure, theafn. that's fine. i think the idea that those kids are going to be on the same level playing field if a gunman walks in, i don't think that's the case. be a jehmu we can laugh about rocks and using stones in these case us from a shooter come into a school. i think genevieve brings up a good point, it's a bigger conversation about what we collectively do as americans to keep students safe. we have seen far too many shootings happening and far too many lives being taken. >> you are absolutely right. i thought this was a story in the onion that blew my mind that this was serious. but it absolutely is a much

bigger conversation to the point of the largest march in our history took place yesterday. i'm glad to hear that genevieve was there glad to see republicans, conservatives, finally understanding that they are going to have to stand up to the nra. when we have in the country one product, only one product that cannot be recalled, and that is guns. and that is as a result -- as a democrat i will say this happened 40 years ago when a democrat representative john dingell blocked the consumer products safety commission from being able to recall guns. there is a lot of work we need to do. universal background checks are certainly that being out there yesterday in the streets, 800,000 people, it is very clear time is up on these nra politicians. abby: when you say guns, i think it's important to clarify what you mean by taking guns away. the second amendment is

something that this country was built on. people are very passionate what that means to them. i come from utah the wild west where many of my family members own guns. it's important to them. they are hunters. how too we have that conversation i turn it over to you genevieve, how do we have a conversation about the importance of second amendment and not taking those rights away but being realistic about the realities that we live in today? >> well, i think we have to be realistic about banning guns. as i said, i was at the march yesterday and that was the answer basically on every poster, every sign, everyone you talked to. >> s not true. >> they he wanted more gun control and background checks and some of the things you mentioned. listen, we can revisit all of that we have to realize we already have a lot of those laws on the books. the truth is in many cases, not just knut public shootings we have seen in schools, for example, last year the turn in texas, that guy should have been picked up on a background check, but he wasn't. sometimes those laws don't work. and the idea that we are

going to have gun-free zones and we are not going to protect our kids is a bad one. look, there is a lot of facts we have to talk about. we talked about mental illness, in many as one in five children in our public schools have said they have -- or we know have some form of mental issues. but up to 80% of them don't get help. they don't get therapy. they don't get medication. those are the kind of things we need to talk about because in almost all of these shootings, schools and otherwise, we know mental illness or mental issues and depression are somehow involved. this is a much, much bigger conversation than it's gotten. abby: quickly. >> have to look at universal background checks and republicans quite frankly, abby, i said nothing about banning guns. i'm from texas. and i understanding that guns are a part of the fabric of so many american communities, but we also need to understand that the current laws, the current laws are not good enough to stop the epidemic of gun

violence. stop being bought and paid for by the nra. we have senile that. republicans voted for a gun bill that for the first time they are standing up to it and guess what? it's because out kids are there to save us all. >> have you got to have laws that have got to be enforced. at heritage we put together a school safety initiative. go to heritage.org, you will see the information there on that. facts are so important and you will see them there. >> i hope it's not about river stones though. abby: far bigger than guns. i think we can all agree with that it's an important debate. jehmu, thanks for being about us this morning. tax reform to killing regulations, republicans have achieved a lot in the first year is, it enough to convince the voters to give them another term? we'll debate that just ahead. do you dread hearing from your boss after work hours. one city wants to respond to work emails when you are off

year. joel payne and conservative radio talk show host chris plante. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning, ed. ed: chris, i want to start with you, chris plante. is this enough for the republicans to go to the voters and say, look, give us another chance in the house and senate? >> you know, honestly, they didn't do themselves any good this past week when i think the republican leadership in the house and senate kind of rolled president trump on this spending bill by not including his priorities. and i can tell you there is a lot of frustration out there. i had a friend of mine on friday, a long-time republican text me that's it. he is no longer a republican. so, right now, i think there's a good deal of anger in the aftermath of this 1.3 trillion-dollar spending bill. i think the president can get the agenda back on track, perhaps building $25 billion into this proposed infrastructure bill, which would help to make a lot of people happy. but, right now, i have got to say the republican leadership and the house and senate ryan and mcconnell

have really let the base down with this spending bill and right now i would say they are in trouble. ed: joel, good point there from a conservative the base is unhappy that the conservative leadership dumped this omnibus in there that gave your party all kinds of spending priorities that left chuck schumer and nancy pelosi happy. might that might be knocked off the schumer and pelosi face collectively not a single pepper voted for this tax cut which appears to be helping this. high, and the president and congressional republicans, there actually isn't much to tout, ed, i know you listed off a couple things that the white house likes to tout, really make america great again, i know that's the agenda for the president and for the republicans, all it's doing is making voters want to choose again this november. that's really all it has added up to this president is historically unpopular. his numbers continue to drop and creator. we saw from the special election is pennsylvania is

he unpopular even in trump country. the president and congressional republicans have a lot to be concerned about as we head into an election sign for november. ed: crist, joel makes an interesting point. you just pointed out yourself that the republican base is deplate flighted because of the omnibus and democratic base whether for gun control or not turns out hundreds of thousands of people. they are energized. >> that's true. yesterday demonstrates the left are very good at organizing and getting people out in the street and probably getting to the polls. i think that's something the republicans really have to face. honestly, if the democrat line is sugar high, crumbs, your tax cut, the thousands of dollars in your pocket is dismissed by east coast elites who suggest that it's nothing more than a sugar high. it's nothing more than crumbs, the pelosi line, you know, that's all you got, that and you are going to ban some guns and you are going to raise taxes and leave an open border and

defend illegal aliens and fund planned parenthood, that's the democrat platform? it's true that they have energized the base, that's true. that's something the republicans have to wake up to and look at very closely. however, sorry, go ahead, ed. ed: joel, i want to give you a chance because i only have a minute here. what about that, the crumbs that chris pointed out is a fair point as well. what happened to the democratic party where they don't seem to want to stand up for the working man and woman snim this president won in part by standing up for the forgotten man and woman he's called them. you take this tax cut and call it crumbs and say it's a sugar high. you are dismissing money going into people's pockets. >> i'm a soften the long shoreman, great grandson of a share crimestopper. honor to be called east coast elite. >> welcome. >> believe you me, a lot of people understand what this president is doing. what i'm saying it's a sugar high. what i'm saying short-term benefit but does not have the long-term economic gain that i think a lot of people know is required for the

economic growth that this president has promised. one other quick thing, ed, you had a guest on earlier who talked about this president being the most faith friendly and accomplished president of all time. i just say to that i would refer people to the gospel of john. i john, actually, one john as the president likes to say. whoever does not speak of the commandments is a liar. that's what that commandment says. rather that gospel says and i would recommend that anybody review that when they think about our faith leaders. >> your party lives in conflict with the teachings of the bible. that's discussion for another day. ed: joel got a chance to respond to two segments. thanks for coming in. >> thanks, ed. ed: timothy dolla people would stare.

he also made reference here and this was his point, that the democratic party officially through tom perez, the chairman of the democratic national committee last year said pro-lifers are not welcome in the modern democratic party. so, i think the cardinal was saying it's a democratic party who has left us, not we, the democratic party. abby: they closed the door. >> he also didn't say therefore everybody join the republican party. no, he is saying the parties have responsibility to represent our values. and that's why we should never hitch our wagon to any political party or candidate in my opinion. abby: everyone knows easter is next weekend. but today is palm sunday and you brought us some reminders of that what does it mean to you. >> sure. abby: remind people what it. >> palm sunday is the day in the bible we see jesus fulfilling a prophecy he got

of you thanks for being with us. pete: this is abbey's eighth hour of eight hours of fox & friends on the weekend. you get a little put of shape when you're not here. abby: it's like a marathon i didn't train for it, like i should have went one and two hours, let's do eight hours on a weekend. ed: i feel like you're right back and strong and we're all over the news there's a lot happening. pete: so march madness obviously you had loyola going to the final four it's a cinderella story and that's march madness but there was other marching yesterday. i wasn't there you probably weren't but a lot of people were in washington d.c. marching for our lives this is a march for gun control. the flagship was in washington d.c. almost 800,000 they counted , many other marchs across the country, but observer s when they look at the actual stage and look at the speeches, a lot of it from the students that were there in parkland also celebrities you know who some of them are -- ed: survivors. pete: they decided to turn it to the nra and some republican members. listen to what they had to say.

>> to all the politicians out there, if you take money from the nra, you have chosen death. if you have not expressed your constituents a public stance on this issue, you have chosen death. if you do not stand with us by saying we need to have gun legislation you have chosen death. >> we know it's hard and we know they will twist our words and laugh at us and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie. how do they sleep at night? you are killing children. >> first off i'm going to start off by putting this price tag here as a reminder for you guys to know how much marco rubio took for every student's life in florida, $1.05. pete: so that was yesterday. ed: do you know what i'd say you were talking about basketball and made a transition to march madness as well. there is good stuff that happened yesterday. it's great this is one of the great parts of america being able to speak out having the freedom to get your views out

there but there was madness as well attacking senator marco rubio over his catholic faith calling him a kid killer is what they called him. abby: saying he has blood on his hands here are examples of that. ed: he supports law abiding citizens who knows how to use guns and are trained in it and are exercising a constitutional right. pete: it was said earlier passion and emotion is a terrible replacement for truth. listen i know these -- abby: how come he said that that passion often gets in the way of facts and true understanding. pete: it was, it felt like a resist rally and a bash the nra and the republican party rather that's why i gave this morning. ed: and the president. pete: and bash the president party. the second amendment is not about hunting or simply self- defense. it's about free people keeping themselves free and i'm frankly sick and tired god bless them they can do whatever they want but sick and tired of being preached at by 17 year olds that they know what the second amendment is all about. they need to go back to civics class in my opinion and then

putting 9-year-olds up on stage saying the dream is a dream of a world without guns. we all have dreams i have a dream of a world without islamic s trying to kill me as well but they're there. abby: i have to push a little back on that because you listen to these 17 year olds speak and they call themselves, i did and they talk about being the mass shooting generation. that that is all they've known since the day they were born because we've had mass shootings and in schools most recently for a number of years now and they speak very passionately, very articulately and a lot of these kids have lost someone that they love. they feel like they've personal ly had experiences that have led them to these marchs to want to make a difference to make that change. where that leads to and what policy changes actually come of this is a big question that i have. ed: sure because look we're all parents we've talked about this and we don't want our kids going to schools where they live in fear. abby: nobody wants that. pete doesn't want that so the question is what do we do about it. ed: and we have a new poll out this hour by the way. pete: that's right. ed: will passing stricter gun

laws make us safer? 44% say yes. will it make us less safe? 12% say no, and then what about no difference? 42% say that it will make no difference at all to pass -- abby: but in that same poll i was reading our poll this morning too. across-the-board, people want change. you have 91% who say we do need required background checks 84% say we need mental health checks 60% want a ban on assault weapon s so you just look at those numbers and clearly this country regardless of politics and background they want to find a way to live in a safer country where you don't drop your kid off at school and worry about what happens that day. pete: fair enough but one mans school shooting generation is another mans 9/11 generation and they're focused on this issue i get it but it doesn't change my view out and these polls very mixed a lot of americans cherish that second amendment right and they don't believe just because something very unfortunate happened and people are very passionate about it that needs

to change our very constitution and that's why this discussion -- ed: one of many issues the president is confronting that he's also up early tweeting about immigration and the omnibus funding and right now there are a lot of republicans hammering this omnibus. abby: really upset about this. take a listen. >> this bill will give us a trillion dollar deficit this year it's republicans and democrats joining hands together to blow a hole in the debt. >> went down in the same way its gone down the last 10 years in a row so it's like groundhog day. whenever you're running up to the date you know it's going to be a disaster. we got to get back to basic business not running trillion dollar deficits every year as far as the eye can see. >> 2300 pages less than 24 hour no member read that bill and no member knows everything in that bill. >> we will be facing a blood bath in the 2018 election if this is the last substantive action of the 115th congress. >> this maybe the worst bill i've seen in congress and our leadership allowed to come to the floor. >> i was very disappointed in it

abby: so we had mercedes shlap on the white house communication advisor and ed you said look the president campaign ed on being a negotiator by being a businessman and being able to do things differently in washington. ed: and he was going to drain the swamp. abby: and she had a response here is what she said. >> this functionality of budget ing lies in the hands of congress. the president had sent his budget up last year and they never voted on it. the democrats refuse to come to the table. so it makes it incredibly frustrating and it's why the president has called to end the filibuster rule in this senate and it's wyatt this point the president saying i'm not going to sign a bill like this again. at the same time his highest priority is to protect the american people and there were things in that bill that lined up with the president's priorit ies. that being the largest pay increase for our military troops pete: the president made impossible choices up tweeting this morning as well about why he did it it's the defense spending at record levels he

said he would rebuild military something he's committed to. abby: you seen it in his face on friday. pete: i don't want to sign this no one has read it and he said look at how big it is nobody has read it he knows that but he said i'm committed to my military i want to get started on my border wall with 1.6 billion for that and you democrats you never actually fought for daca so this discussion won't end but it's clear that was a swamp budget conservatives can't stand it the republican party is a conservative party is effective ly dead. they haven't figured out an entitlement programs they won't even touch. abby: but what happened to that commercial with the wheelchair going over the cliff? ed: paul ryan pushing an old lady about medicare and now not entitlement programs and reforming these programs and you heard from one of our guests a few moments ago conservative radio talk show host saying the republican base may be deflated going into the midterms at the idea these swamp budgets continue to pass however good news for the gop perhaps a new poll from fox just coming out this hour showing the gap is

narrowing we asked who do you prefer in your district democratic candidate 46%, gop candidate 41%. why is that important? it's a five-point gap? october 2017 we asked the same question, democratic candidate generically was getting 50% gop candidate 35% so its gone from a 15% gap to 5%. republicans are still down on the generic ballot but we expected that going into a tough midterm election can they narrow that gap? abby: i always go back to people vote with their wall lats and no matter what the issues are if people feel like they're doing better living a better life and provide a better life for their kids and we've seen the economy continue to improve with tax reform and other things where will it become midterms and the presidential reelection i think that's going to be the big question. pete: republicans need to continue to remind voters it was them who voted for that and democrats who voted against it and when you look at that number that's historic resistance against this president. not just democrats but from their lap dogs in the media who have been shopping it up even

though -- abby: edits all your fault. ed: i'm a reporter. pete: let me update you still no russian collusion. ed: he's just putting it in one big stew. abby: it's is good to be back. i do want to bring you other headlines we're following closely a serious one and a fox news alert the u.s. military taking out two terrorists in an air strike military officials telling fox news the drone strike was launched in southern libya no word on which group those terrorists belong to, the military says no civilians appear to be injured in that strike we'll keep an eye on that and the newly-released revealing an american family died from inhaling toxic gasses while sleeping in their condo on a vacation in mexico. the report showing no signs of foul play or suicide. relatives calling police after the family for never returned to their home in iowa. the deaths are still under investigation and crews are examining the room where it happened those are some of your headlines and not some happy ones. ed: no not at all. pete: well the liberal media blasting john bolton as the

ed: the so-called mainstream media, blasting john bolton as the president's pick for the national security counsel. here to react fox news digital politics editor chris stirewalt. thanks for getting up for us on this palm sunday. we appreciate it. >> good morning guys. pete: you saw the reaction to john bolton is it predictable and if so where is it coming from? >> well i don't know if it's predictable but who would try to predict anything in 2018 in washington right? look donald trump ran for president on basically an anti- conservative platform. he ran for president arguing that george w. bush should have been impeached over the iraq war and has not recan'ted from that point of view. one of the things in fact that made him president was the fact that a lot of democratic-leaning or moderate voters in places like pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, ohio, voted for him, people who voted for obama because of the fact he was clear

about disagreeing with the foreign policy that john bolton was an architect of. i don't think that the hiring of john bolton means that donald trump is now in a neo conservative. pete: sure it just may mean that now he wants people in his staff who are not trying to save america from president trump but trying to enact the policy that he believes in like maybe tear ing up the iran deal and trying to get north korea to the table. >> well look the president is finally getting the cabinet that he wanted and that's fine because he's the president of the united states, elections have consequences and he's getting the cabinet that he wanted not the one that's been imposed on him and i should also point out that after a year and some months that the president now understands more about what is in this job and what is required and i also would point out james mattis is still the secretary of defense and whatever it is that the national security advisor wants to tell the president i have a hard time believing that chaos is going to go for preemptive strikes on north korea all of a sudden. abby: it's pretty clear general mattis has a lot of pull with

president trump given the omnibus bill most recently going to lunch with the president saying you've got to get this through but i want your thoughts though chris on what you think the media reaction will be. there's new news dealing with russia because on one end you have the president whose calling president putin congratulating him on winning the election and on the other behind closed doors the administration actually doing some pretty tough things against russia. there are reports that we are ready to expel russian diplomats over a uk attack over poisoning of spies over in the uk so if this is going to happen it may boil over in the next few days what will the media coverage be because a lot don't want to admit the president is tough on russia. >> well i won't watch any of them because i'll watch fox and i won't worry about what those other people are saying but i do know this that if john bolton is in fact the national security advisor john bolton is in fact one of the most hawkish on russia of them all. john bolton is very clear-eyed about what a monster vladimir putin is he's an evil man and a

killer and now after this last election which nobody could say is legitimate, if you imprison your opponents and lock people up in the dead of night and control state media you are not running and free and fair election so vladimir putin is a thug and now a dictator and john bolton is clear about that and just as much as anybody is talking about bolton vis-a-vis iran everybody should remember where he stands on russia. abby: you don't go around poison ing people including your own people. ed: chris real quick another thing john bolton may need to do is fire some people. there's a lot of anger still in the trump camp about these leaks that have not stopped apparently within the national security counsel itself. >> well do you think that had are mcmaster's departure was coincidental to do not congratulate, do not congratulate. i do not think that was coincidental. ed: good point. sounds like there might be house cleaning soon. >> i will congratulate you. ed: thank you chris.

abby: thank you chris it's great to be back and i love always talking to you. oh, he already left us. pete: meanwhile, the htv show canceled over christian beliefs now david and jason have moved forward thanks to a lesson they learned from playing baseball. god always has the plan, they're here, live. >> ♪ how do you like me now ♪ ♪ it's ok that everyone ignores me while i drive. it's fine. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. and i don't share it with mom! right, mom? righttt. safe driving bonus checks. only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. ♪ ♪ applebee's to go. order online and get $10 off $30. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood.

nabeld trump who swapped himself in exchange for a hostage inside a grocery store. the gunman killing four people wounding 15 others on twitter our commander-in-chief calling him a "great hero" and that he was. and two historic churches installing metal detectors cit ing terrorism fears new york city st. paul chapel and trinity church adding extra protection a church spokesperson telling the new york post there is no urgent threat it is a security measure that's been in the works for a long time and those are headlines. pete: well back in 2014, twin brothers david and jason benham were left discouraged after hgtv canceled their home renovation show flip it forward before it ever aired and the network faced backlash over the brother's christian and pro-life beliefs and comments made about the lgbt community. ed: but instead of letting the controversy dictate their lives, they have pushed forward remembering a lesson they learned from when they played baseball. god always has a plan. abby: it's all in their brand new book miracle, jason and

david benham join us right now good to have you both on the show. >> good to be here. abby: so you're changed men? >> yes. >> [laughter] abby: awesome. he's more like me now which actually helps him a lot. >> come on. ed: i'm interested in the baseball angle. how did it change your life? >> well often stories in sports are lessons for life and this miracle in shreveport covers a 20 year period of time before we landed the hgtv show before we became entrepreneurs we're from 5-25 we had a dream of playing pro baseball together on the same team at the same time and we grew up in dallas texas, the sons of a pastor so we would vacation in atlanta, georgia and always drive up i20 about three hours outside of dallas there was a beautiful minor league baseball stadium, shreveport and we would pray with our dad, he would say boys let's pray, one day the two of you are going to play in that stadium on the same team at the same time and we did that for years until we graduated high school and then went on to play at liberty and continued to pray that prayer.

never thought it would actually ever come true. abby: now you say you both have enough kids to have your own baseball team. ed: it would be a co-ed team. abby: that's all right but look you guys have been in the news often and you've been honest about how you feel about things and at times have offended some people along the way. the lgbt community being one of those. have you changed the way you feel about that? >> oh, absolutely not. i mean god's blessings are found within god's boundaries so david and i have simply talked about the boundaries that a all need to live in side in order to experience god's blessings and we have a dad that helped us hone this theology because we love all people but we don't love all ideas and neither does god and so when we were growing up and had an opportunity to live out what you will read in this book because when we got fired by hgtv, it was a dark time in our lives where it seemed like everything was coming against us but we drew strength from the story of when our faith intersected with god's faithfulness and marked us

forever got us through that. pete: why are we at such a place where having different views in this country that's what america is founded on you can have different views about the way you live your life or political view. why would hgtv or other places expel people who think one way and because a lot of people think the way you do. >> well that's just a narrative that's been built. it went from acceptance to appreciation to celebration and now its shifted over to forced participation if you're not speaking like we want you to speak if you don't believe like we want you to believe we'll isolate you marginalize you and potentially criminalize you at some point so we have to be willing to speak the truth and speak it and it's nothing against any one people group over another, but when we elevate certain lifestyles or lifestyle choices, the scripture clearly commands that it's not best for human flourishing it's okay to speak about that, so we have to be willing to enter the conservation in love and trust me jason and iu don't build 100 offices across the united states by discriminating against an

individual group of people this is just crazy. abby: isn't there something too because i grew up religious as well to unconditional love to loving people for those differences, for, you may not agree with their life style choices or who they want to be or who they want to love but is there something to letting god make those judgments and loving people unconditionally for who they are? >> and we say we simply line up with the judge whose god and when god says here are certain behaviors you need to live within in order to experience the blessings we want you to have all we say is let's agree with him. ed: let's take it back to baseball. absolutely and look, we've got opening day coming up. obviously want the yankees to have a great season i'm sure you agree. >> i'm a red sox guy. ed: we can agree on this though. talk about that dream. it was really powerful when you were talking about praying with your dad so did you make it, i don't want to give away the whole story but a little flavor of you making it at least to the minor leagues. >> well jason and i we both got

drafted out of liberty i was drafted by the red sox, and he was drafted by the orioles and we went on to play but he broke his leg literally in half, cover ing first base on a wheel play and he ended up getting released so our dream was over it was donald not only were we not going to make it to the big leagues we weren't playing in that stadium we prayed for with our dad for so many years but as the lord would have it as you'll read in this story jason kale to watch me play after i got traded in the cardinals and the next night he was on the team with me playing and he broke up a no- hitter. ed: it was an amazing hit. >> but we ended up making it to shreveport and we went right out to center field and were praying and turn around and there's our dad in the top deck with his hands up just tears streaming down his face thanking god that god is working behind the scenes , even when you can't see him. ed: sounds like those prayers were answered. abby: miracle in shreveport. pete: very fun.

ed: baseball father hood and the stadium that launched a dream you've got to pick up this book. abby: david and jason thanks for being with us. pete: appreciate it. well students at the march for our lives rally are quick to call for a ban on assault weapon s but do they really know what that means? >> assault weapon, it's like what is an assault weapon? >> like, i don't know i guess. pete: campus reforms asked that hard hitting question and he ing up. ed: if you read the papers everyone seems to be afraid of a possible trade war but did china already start it? maria bartiromo has t numbers, next. abby: hi, maria. >> ♪ ♪ ♪

president trump: in particular

with china we're going to be doing a section 301 trade action it could be about # $60 billion. i've been speaking with the highest chinese representatives including the president and i've asked them to reduce the trade deficit immediately by $100 billion. abby: no one better to talk about this than maria bartiromo host of sunday morning futures, who will be on in just a few moments. maria: great to see you welcome back. abby: i'd love your thoughts on this because there are a lot of people concerned about this potential trade war with china are we there yet where is this heading is this bad for the economy we buy more from china than they buy from us. maria: well look i think this is the right move everybody gets this china has been stealing our stuff for decades and frankly, the deficit is $375 billion that the u.s. has with china, and i don't see china wanting to mess up that surplus that they have

by having any significant retall yeah tori moves. china does it in a couple of ways. abby: actually maria let's show these numbers the intellectual property 150-240 billion cost the u.s. economy you jump to 2017 up to $600 billion. maria: that's right and china is doing this through a number of ways. one way is they are participat ing in venture capital deals. china has participated in 10% of all venture deals in the united states in the last five years in other words they're acquiring small companies that are doing the things that are the innovative industries of the future. okay so that's like in ai, robotics, biotech all of the industries we're expecting are the big drivers here in america so what they do is they acquire, they understand, they transfer the technology that is in america to china, and they compete. pete: steel. maria: and they compete with us and they win. so this is really important issue everybody gets this if you're ford motor and you want to open up a plant in china the first thing you do is give up all your technology to china.

they will not allow you to sell to the 1.3 billion people in china without knowing everything about how you do your business so that's the first thing they do and you have to do it and once you get to china you can't even own anything out and out you have to own a joint venture and 49% of that. we don't have any of that and there are 10 industries in china they deem off limits to foreigners, so these restriction s are exactly what we should be doing. pete: in order to avoid a trade war someone has to blink. who blinks? maria: well i think china is going to blink because they have the $375 billion surplus and they won't want to cut that down too much the president just said look we want them to cut the surplus by 100 billion the president in his head has 50 billion really is an opening bid he wants to get that number down the 375 number down. ed: big show today? maria: we'll also talk about this with devon nunes the chairman of the house intel committee because he said they're a growing national security threat and what they're doing now is aquiring infrastructure in countries all across the world setting up military bases there so there's that too, devon nunes has a lot to say about that, we're also

talking with peter navarro whose trade policies really have royal this market last year got a big sell-off so a special interview with senator lindsay graham coming up with a lot to say about that spending bill. by the way, we're not looking at $21 trillion in debt because of domestic spending we're looking at it because of the entitlement so the entitlement reform is really what needs to be done to cut down the deficit. pete: in 21 minutes and 50 seconds don't turn the channel. maria: [laughter] pete: she's going to be on. abby: that was your warmup maria all right turning to other headlines we're following the he ir to the budweiser drone faces a disturbing story. police say bush saw his son fighting with the boy during basketball practice at his school outside st. louis last november. well bush is now accused of dragging the child by his shirt pinning him against a wall and giving him a bloody nose. the family did not bring charges up until just now, bush's lawyer denies those claims saying he was just protecting his son.

ed: students at saturday's march for our lives rally were quick to call for a ban on assault weapons but do they actually know what that even means? >> do you know what an assault weapon is? >> yeah. it's assault weapon, it's like a , um, what is an assault weapon >> i consider any, i'm not even against just assault weapons i'm pretty much against most guns. >> like i don't know i guess. abby: here with more media director for campus reform.org, cabot phillips and what a job you have to go out on the streets and get to the root of these issues and realize how little so many people know. ed: and it was encouraging to see people getting involved in the political process using their voice but i kept hearing them say we need to ban assault weapons that will make this problem go away and i thought they would know some basics about what they're calling for and if you're advocating for policy that will impact millions of gun owners like myself you need to know the basics of what you are talking about so we

decided to ask about the root of the cause the second amendment. abby: how did that go? >> about what you'd expect from the first answer that you see here. >> i think that the second amendment at this time is outdated. i think that the wording needs to be revisited. >> i think it's something for a different time. i think the constitution in and of itself is something that's outdated. i don't think it applies in today's society. >> i don't think it leads to anything good or productive or peaceful. >> this is nothing new, students everywhere especially young people don't appreciate the second amendment constitutional rights and in this case they think because the times have changed their rights have changed also and many of them don't understand that this legislation will say what's the point why would anyone need a gun like that when americans have the freedom to choose how to best defend themselves, preserve their rights to self-defense and legislation like this while it's encouraging to see people get involved we also need to encourage people to do it the right way. this isn't about semantics look i already have people on social media saying you're going after

those kids trying to make them look dumb. if anything we're trying to engage them and let's have real world debates. pete: so critics might say you selectively edited that. was there someone that just said this is exactly what an assault weapon is. >> absolutely not we were all day the whole video is up on our website and not a single person could give me anything remotely close. everyone was quick to say we need to ban weapons mainly students said i'm for banning all guns in general. nobody needs to have a gun but student after student it was across across-the-board they wanted to ban this and it's on the website they say this is the legislation they want, that's what they want to see and it was clear that many students were repeating the talking points they heard and there was a lack of diversity of opinion up on the stage and in the crowd there i think more discussions, we can have debates and discussions without it going into the territory you want dead kids because you disagree. ed: it's great to be active but if you want to change the laws and constitution you probably should know what's in the

constitution and what changes you want to make to a law like what you think the problem even is. >> absolutely and that was one of the things we saw where people are saying the constitution has changed because the founding fathers could never have imagined these firearms and when we talked earlier the first amendment also they were writing on parchment and they couldn't imagine twitter or social media changing that if a journalist starts putting up fake news should we takeaway freedom of president? abby: yeah, pete. pete: [laughter] pete: it's such a great point though the first amendment is a perfect analogy we never would have conceived of it yet we wouldn't take it away. abby: it doesn't mean we can't have these important conservations to figure out if there are changes that need to be made like with the safety of our kids. ed: conservation based on logic and reason and policy and not emotion and anger. abby: that's the theme of the show today. ed: you've got high expectations there. abby: all right if you have a toddler you know the show paw patrol and guess what it is coming to life.
