12:00 pm
chicago to win. congratulations to him. he must've been extremely thrilling. i'm sure he's having a great friday. thanks for joining us. i'm dana perino. you're now, shep smith. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 on the east coast and 10:00 p.m. in northern russia where the military has sent a new kind of inner continuity missile. that's what vladimir putin is now bragging. it can nuke any target on earth. if tensions had their highest levels the days of the cold war. and russia boots more foreign diplomats out of the country. special counsel robert mueller now reportedly eyeballing the republican national convention. we'll explain why. and a deadly day in gaza, thousands protesting when israel's border, no hundreds or hurt, some are reported dead. plus, police shoot out on camer camera.
12:01 pm
we'll show you what started this and how it ended. let's get to it. >> announcer: now, "shepard smith reporting" lie from the fox news deck. >> shepard: good friday afternoon from the news deck. in the russian military showing of the new nuclear missile. president vladimir pugh and says it can strike anywhere on earth. putin claims the united states and nato missile defense systems would be useless against the so-called satan two. the test launch comes as tensions are rising between russia and the united states and our allies a month for that matter over the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter in england. the kremlin denies any involvement, but investigators say the weapon was a nerve agent that the soviet union invented. russia's ambassador to the united states telling nbc news today show he cannot remember the last time relations were
12:02 pm
this bad between moscow and washington. because it seems to me that it's poison. it's a toxic atmosphere and today, russia is responsible for everything, even for bad weather. it is high time for us to stop blaming each other. >> shepard: no one ever said they were responsible for the bad weather. more retaliation from moscow today after the united states, united kingdom, and two dozen other nations announced they were kicking out russian diplomats because of the poisoning attack. live this afternoon from the state department. >> good afternoon. russia's foreign ministry said they have top diplomats from 23 countries to inform them today that they are kicking out some of their officials from russia. these are the same countries to join the united states and the united kingdom and kicking russian diplomats out of their countries. the list of 23 today includes australia, germany, canada, the baltic states, sweden, many
12:03 pm
others. the russian foreign ministry also threatened to expel diplomats from belgium, hungary, and montenegro. those four countries joined the other 23 a little later on so letting them get away this time was just a warning. all of this boils down to moving today. he says in video here from the airport here in washington, d.c., 60 russian to the mets and their families have to leave the u.s. by monday. many of them were stationed at the nbc here in washington, d.c. others also will russian plane there with a u-haul at that airport. the u.s. is closing the russian consulate in seattle so officials are moving out ahead of the monday deadline there to get out. last year, the u.s. closed its san francisco consulate and now russia has no consulates on the west coast of the u.s. in response to all of this, the u.s. has until tomorrow to evacuate its consulate in st. petersburg in washington. so u.s. is trying to clear out of that facility right now ahead of tomorrow's deadline. >> shepard: the russian ambassador to the united states
12:04 pm
seemed to sum up the russian's positions on this matter. >> he did, he said he can't even get a meeting here in washington, d.c. he heard that from him earlier today. he says he's having trouble meeting with officials here even on capitol hill. it took him three months to get his first meeting with the senator. officials on capitol hill, congressional sources tell us there is a pretty significant reluctance to meet with russians, certainly publicly especially with what happened after some other senators met with russian ambassadors so there's a reluctance there. also at a higher level on that, less than a month ago, secretary of state rex tillerson when he was acting as secretary of state is in the capital of ethiopia staying in the same hotel as russian foreign minister sergey lavrov. couldn't get a meeting to get. >> shepard: retention at the state department. looking into russian meddling and possible collusion with team trump and other matters. reportedly focusing on the 2016 republican convention. that's a according to the
12:05 pm
reuters news agency. the special team has been asking witnesses about a particular event that both attorney general jeff sessions and then russian ambassador to the united states sergey kislyak attended. sessions with the senator at the time in the trump campaign advisor, reuters reports investigators were asking detailed questions about any conversations the two men had come and not just at the convention but beyond that. also on the sideline of a campaign speech that president trump gave a few months earlier at the mayflower hotel in washington. so far, no comment from session sessions. last summer, he told senators it was possible that he had a brief conversation with the ambassador at the hotel but nothing formal he said. he also said he did not know the ambassador would be at either location. >> i would just say with regard to the two encounters, one at the mayflower hotel that you
12:06 pm
referred to, i came there not knowing he was going to be there. i don't have any recollection of even knowing he would be there. i didn't have any communications with him before or after that event, and likewise in the event at the convention, i went off the convention grounds to a college campus for an event. >> at the mayflower event. let me finish that one. i didn't know he would be in the audience. >> shepard: so he didn't know. that's not to say he didn't talk. they accused sessions of misleading him during his confirmation hearing when he said he did not meet with russian officials during the campaign. that's what he said first and then session said he never lied. he said he met with the ambassador as a senator coming out of the campaign advisor. reuters also reports that robert muller's team is asking republican officials apparently deleted a section of the party's platform. remember this issue? it was part of the platform that
12:07 pm
called for giving ukraine more firepower to use against russia. remember, russia invaded a crimea part of ukraine took it over. president trump has denied any collusion took place and has repeatedly called the investigation of witch hunt. peter doocy is live in south florida and your president trump's golf where he is spending easter weekend. >> there are some new questions raised by this reuters report about why in the week before president trump's was officially added to the top of the ticket and the rnc was going over the platform for 2016 in cleveland, there was a softening of language about giving weapons to ukraine because some waters interpreted the softening as a confession to russia and one republican from the platform committee tells reuters that she remembers j.b. gordon, who was a foreign policy associate of the campaign telling her that he was going to work with candidate trump to change the verbiage
12:08 pm
about ukraine. now j.d. gordon tells fox that it's recycled garbage from nearly two years ago that came today with a fake news media. character assassination by anonymous sources and guilt by insinuation. and you can quote me on that. we just did. >> shepard: today, we got an update on president trump's a border wall proposal from u.s. customs and border protection. the acting deputy commissioner talking about 100 miles of projects for this year. he admitted it's not all wall and is not all new at all. he also could not confirm this tweet from the president a couple of days ago. president trump noting the start of his wall, the pictures are not the start of his wall at all. they are a project that was started back in 2009. not new. not the wall, an old project. but officials say the construction is new. here's the acting deputy commissioner when a reporter asked about the president's
12:09 pm
tweet. >> i'm not sure which way you're talking about, what was in the media that i saw this week was the construction project at the other underway. it's new features for the wall that they are putting up. they are replacing the dilapidated landing mad is new. >> shepard: peter doocy, back to you, what to make of this? >> customs and border protection are not telling us they think it's reasonable for us to expect to see about half the border covered with some sort of fencing or wall system or the equivalent of 1,000 miles. because the truth is, walls work in the data shows it. dhs and cbp are fully committed to a balanced investment in physical infrastructure to access and control, technology, and personnel to support critical border security missions.
12:10 pm
>> but it is not clear today how much of the 1,000 miles he's referring to needs to be built new and how much of the 1,000 miles is fencing that can be spruced up. >> i would say it's all new because it is a different design going in, it's replacing stuff that is unsuitable, dilapidated wall, this hold landing that doesn't serve our needs anymore. i would call it all new. >> just like president trump, they want $25 billion to build this wall system but they don't know where that money would come from. they would welcome some pentagon funding for that, of course that's something there have been reports about over the last few days but they have no reason to think at the pentagon is going to fund the wall at this time. >> shepard: what's the latest on the president's pick to head the va? >> there some surprise now from the leader of a veterans group, iraq and afghanistan veterans. he tells "the washington post" that it's great that he and
12:11 pm
ronnie jackson served in a rack and he is our generation. it doesn't appear that he's had assignment that suggests he can take on the magnitude of this job and that makes him a surprising pick. according to the twitter account of press secretary for the white house sarah sanders, she said mike pompeo, gina haskell, have served our country with honor and distinction. highly respected on both sides of the aisle and should be confirmed without delay. i now the outgoing va secretary has some advice his predecessor. >> to make sure that he is consistent with the president's agenda to push really hard, always to keep the veterans interest at heart, to make sure that he is working closely with congress in a bipartisan way, they cannot afford to be politicized. >> also does not want the va to be privatized and that is part of his morning on the way out. >> peter doocy in south florida,
12:12 pm
thank you. during the height of the cold war, the united states and russia were the only superpowers in the game. the global politics are much more complex this time around. and potentially much more dangerous. our next guest says there are ways to start getting russia under control so how do you do that? will explain coming up from the fox news deck on this good friday afternoon. found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

12:15 pm
>> shepard: the russians test launching a so-called satan three -- satan to come i'm sorr sorry. satan 2. it can hit any target in the world. relationships of the united states are the worst we can ever remember, quite a combo. let's turn to the lena, a fellow informed policy. is this chatter? is a something more? is there a way to know? >> i don't agree with the russian ambassador on too many things but i agree with him that we are in a downward spiral when it comes to u.s.-russia relations. given the expulsions that we saw happening this week, i don't see a clear end in sight. we don't have the same rules we had during the cold war with the soviet union new, we knew what they were doing and not many of those rules of the game are pretty much gone. >> shepard: how do you ratchet the tension down?
12:16 pm
>> there's a few things that that u.s. and allies and europe can do. they are deeply dependent on the global economy. he u.s. remains russia's largest trade partner. what that means is this is a lot more leverage that we have over russia than they have over us. and they're testing all of these muscles, doing some saber rattling but at the end of the day, we been in a position where russia can destroy the u.s. and u.s. has all the power to destroy russia but we need to start thinking about strategically. how to be punished russia, impose consequences and limited power in the world. the economy is one way to do that. another way to do that is to go after the dirty money. they love having their yachts and their villas all over europe and the united states as well and this is stolen money from the russian people and we can really go after them for that. >> shepard: what's your assessment of what's been done thus far? >> i think the trump administration has done quite a bit to send a very clear message to moscow.
12:17 pm
the expulsions that we just saw where the most significant scene since 1986 and the reagan administration expelled 55 soviet diplomats at a time and this time, the u.s. expelled 60 so this is a very strong signal. it was coordinated with europe and i think the kremlin got the message. another thing the trump administration has done well as they've impose new sanctions on russia. and this will continue to be ratcheted up. i have no doubt about that. >> shepard: is the tone right from the president? to the president be speaking up more or is it the correct in your estimation? >> what we've seen is this dual track emerged in the united states where we have the administration, wrapping up sanctions, imposing new punishments on russia and then we have the employment of russia hogs coming up, they think russia is an aggressor, not a potential partner. so president trump has remained
12:18 pm
relatively quiet as the administration has taken some very significant steps. personally, i would like to see the president speak out very clearly about what the russians have done and the consequences of the u.s. will impose. >> shepard: thank you, appreciate it very much. police releasing video of the deadly shooting at a barbershop. on the investigation into what went down on that san francisco street. also following to elements in sacramento in the case of stefon clark. police have said they thought he had a gun when they shot him dead. he did not have a gun. his family has released results of a private autopsy, and they are sending. it's next.

>> shepard: more that one special counselor robert mueller reportedly looking to the 2016 republican national convention as he investigates possible collusion between the trump campaign in russia. president trump has repeatedly said there was no collusion. let's turn to nicholas johnson now, editor in chief. good to see you. is there anything new here? >> there's pieces of new every day, some new reporting about mueller asking questions but the important thing i think reviewers to remember is that these leaks aren't coming from mueller. nothing comes out of mueller's team. if they are coming from lawyers and attorneys were questioned by mueller then go to reporters and say what they were asked about. the important thing we should take away from this is a news flash, mueller is looking at everything. his remit is looking into what's happening in the 2016 election and related matters. that means he can ask any kinds of questions he wants and only people who know the important questions he's asking are his lawyers and they're not leaking.
12:32 pm
>> shepard: if you could explain what these witnesses are saying about specifically these instances involving her day because and jeff sessions. >> there looking at meetings, a lot of controversy over disclosing what kind of meetings happened between trump campaign and other officials and how often they were disclosed, whether they disclosed appropriately as part of the transition in the congressional investigators and whether they were somehow conducted improperly relating to the campaign activity. the biggest thing that i think bac was trying to figure out, what was discussed in those meetings? who from the campaign was involved in those meetings, and where those conduits to share information? remember that on the trump jr. emailed about possibly looking for information that was damaging to hillary clinton from some people involved in russia. i think peeling back the leaders of the onion here is who were in those meetings and who they were connected to and what were they talking about.
12:33 pm
>> shepard: in context, great concerns about russia was doing specifically in crimea and then a change in the platform which was certainly in russia's favorite on the question i suppose being with this meeting, were these talks between jeff sessions and sergey kislyak -- is that where it was decided that would happen? >> absolutely. a perfect point. we have to remember, paul manafort who was chairman of the campaign who is now been indicted had all sorts of connections to people in russia and eastern europe. is there a smoke, is there fire, are these things already existed lead to changes in the campaign? that will be somewhat damaging of high interest to mueller and his investigation. >> shepard: sounds like you were just saying there are people who are not cooperating with the mueller investigation in exchange for not being indicted. there are people cooperating who might not have the knowledge of that. so he may already know.
12:34 pm
the straight way the csi investigation, federal prosecutor. you witnesses, a flip on them because they lied to investigators. use that to gain more information for the next party. >> shepard: where do you see this going? you have to know everything, you're so well sourced. because these are the guys who don't leak. that's what we're trying to tell everybody. it don't get too ahead of yourselves here. they run a very tight shot. the people who are leaking or attorneys for those under investigation. where this is going, i'm watching this as closely as everybody else. >> shepard: appreciated, thank you. the is israeli army has killed at least 15 palestinians making this the bloodiest day in gaza since 2014. that's according to palestinian health officials who said 13 of the people were participating in a large protest against israel. as of the other person who died was killed by tank fire.

12:36 pm
independent palestinian leaders have been calling for peaceful sit in protest along the israeli-palestinian-because of border there. hamas just got on board with sn today, we saw thousands israelis, thousands of palestinians, many more than that, turns out to demonstrate between that border area in five different locations in the goal is the israeli and an egyptian blockade but also to protest the 70th anniversary of the founding of the state of israel, they call it catastrophe. on top of that, the economic situation, the humanitarian situation that they are rapidly deteriorating now. they blame hamas, it's a really dangerous mix there that we saw today and as you said, at least 15 people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured. it was very, very violent at times today.
12:37 pm
>> shepard: organizers say they are planning weeks more protests. >> the goal is to have these acts of protest whether there at the border were other places for the next six weeks or so. the 70th founding of the state of israel. so we are going to see this for sometime now. the tensions here are really high. president trump announced the moving of the u.s. embassy around that time as well. the economic situation is particularly bad there. and the israelis have really tried to push back on this idea that they will be regular protests at the border. they are doubling the security along the fence and that anyone trying to cross the border would be dealt with by force. the prime minister went so far as to tweeted video of an armed armed palestinian being shot as a warning. there have been efforts in
12:38 pm
successful efforts by palestinians across the security fence down and gaza. so there's a lot of attention on the israeli side about whether or not these are palestinians were trying to leave gaza to launch an attack of people trying to escape. there's a lot of concern about what happens next. you've seen so many times here before, small acts of violence can always spark into much larger conflict and often wore. the one history says that's what happens. conor powell live with us in jerusalem. thank you. the widow of the pulse nightclub shooter in orlando cried with joy today after jurors found her not guilty of helping her pause been plan of attack. that's according to our fox news team inside the florida courtroom. this morning, acquitted noor salman on both charges against her, obstruction of justice was one, providing material support to a terrorist organization with the other. not guilty on both. her husband omar mateen killed 49 people in the pulse nightclub back in 2016.

it happened last week in california and the tesla driver died. an internal facebook memo said that questionable practices are okay in order to achieve growth. and that any work done with this goal in mind is justified. buzzfeed is now publishing a memo that a facebook vice president wrote back in 2016. this particular memo noted the benefits of connecting people are so strong that they could be more important than individual lives. facebook founder and ceo mark zuckerberg said he did not agree with the view with the growth takes priority over facebook users safety. in a statement, zuckerberg said this is one that most people have facebook including myself disagree with strongly. we've never believed the ends justify the means. facebook facing a federal investigation over how it handled that private user information after reports that a data firm tied to the trump

campaign access to personal information to more than 50 million users without their permission. a memo. they are distancing themselves. >> mark zuckerberg has come out and said this guy is very creative thinker and he says provocative things, he sometimes writes provocative things. it's horrible. that memo was horrible. he was saying that connectivity is the most important thing. so we are connected, all of our friends are connected but somewhere down the chain, somebody dies because of bullying or because of terrorism, that that is sort of one small part of the overall activity and that the larger theme of connection is more important. but zuckerberg really has stepped back and said listen, except for this one person things that that is a valid point of view and this is somebody who said lots of crazy things out loud. that's a great question, yes he does. in other words, zuckerberg has
12:48 pm
distanced himself not to the point of firing him. even apple ceo tim cook has thrown some shade of the company saying the best form of regulation is self-regulation. however, i think we are beyond that. so that in chicago at a conference and i think if you own the stock, that's what you have to know is coming. mark zuckerberg is going to go to congress, going to testify on april 10th along with the ceos of twitter and google have also been invited, but i think mark zuckerberg is going to have to answer a lot of questions. one side angle to this memo which i just want to bring up is some people who work at facebook are so upset that this week because i feel like family fights should be kept family. so now there's this bizarre theory going around. saying maybe there are spies, the way that some people are using. junior level employees who have been put here to leak damning evidence against facebook at one of its more sensitive times. whether or not that's true, if
12:49 pm
you own the stock him at his nose going to be a bit of a rocky road ahead. >> shepard: if you do on the stock, your stock is up 4.42% today. >> if you want to look at the past 30 days, it still down around 10%. >> shepard: hackers have targeted a fitness app. what is is about? >> they knew that i blew off yoga. it is 150 million people, so a lot of people. >> shepard: 150 million people have a fitness app. >> you can track your workouts, your nutrition, so under armour actually owns it, so that app was hacked, the silver lining here is that no super sensitive data was taken. no social security numbers, no driver's license numbers, so it's like email addresses and passwords for that app. with that said, my fitness pal is saying change your password. if you're with us, change your password. >> shepard: from password 32 password four. but they know that you didn't get your steps now.
12:50 pm
because they do and they know if you have an extra dessert. >> shepard: so be it. good to see you. have a great weekend. a lot of people like to run around saying this guy is falling, this guy is falling. this time, this guy is falling. at least part of it. an update on the chinese space station which is really what is falling. not really this guy, but it is falling. look out. there's little rest for a single dad. and back pain made it hard to sleep and get up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid... ...plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am.

>> shepard: 7 minutes to the top of the hour, arnold schwarzenegger has survived heart surgery with a sense of humor intact it would appear. the web site tmz first reported that he had been a emergency teacher mama but a spokesman for the movie star and california
12:54 pm
governor said it was a scheduled surgery, which is different. the spokesman also said he is in very good spirits in his first words after he woke up work, all together now, i'm back. yes indeed. whether true or not, it's a good line. the chinese station is set to plummet to earth this weekend but scientists say they still don't know where it's going to hit which is reassuring. an aerospace company has been tracking the station which weighs only about eight and a half tons, so it should be fine. here's what the thing looks like. the company's researchers predict it will reenter the earth's atmosphere sunday, easter sunday about 10:00 in the morning eastern time but they say could actually happen up to 16 hours before that. really don't know what's up. eight and a half tons, laura ingle is here with us. that's a lot of tons. >> we are talking about a big break here. so talking about the earth rotation and the things spinning out of control in space because those two things together,
12:55 pm
scientists say it starts to get a little complicated. we've got this cool video we want to show you that came to us from aerospace corporation and it really gives you a good idea of how this thing is going to g go. so it's about the size of the school bus, scientist predict it will break apart on a reentry and will become a ball of fire and then scatter in pieces as it reenters earth's atmosphere. so that's a layout. with being used to predict the area where it could come down chose between latitude 43 north and 43 south. >> shepard: that's narrowing things down for us. because it includes most of the united states. the european space agency which monitors such events predicts only a fraction of the nearly 910 spacecraft will survive reentry and fall in the form of fragments. stick with that would happen over an area that is around 1,000 kilometers long. you should not imagine that's a very dense fragment, rather they fall in isolation. from one of fragments on the ground to another.
12:56 pm
>> the governor of michigan has enacted the state emergency operations center because aerospace is saying it could actually hit a part of that peninsula. we went to the chances of it hitting somebody they say is very, very small. stick a very small, get hit by lightning, it has happened before. tulsa, oklahoma, walking around, 1970s hit by a 6-inch piece. something that has happened before but maybe she should play it because it's good. >> shepard: thank you. we'll be right back.
