tweet it to us jer at fnc, that's it for my show, thanks to my panel, thanks for all of you for watching, i'm paul gigot, i hope to see you next week. >> fox news alert president trump going after amazon again this time over its delivery service in a series of tweets today, the president accused the online retailer of scamming the u.s. postal service and paying less than its fair share of taxes. hello, everyone, welcome to america's news headquarters, i'm kelly wright. >> and i'm molly, accusations come on ongoing feud with president and founder jeff bezos which owns the washington post labeled fake news by the president. the white house argued that the president's criticism is about policy. >> amazon, you know s really competing against in many way mom and pop shops and has

disadvantage. the president has talked about it for years, a number of proposals that have worked way through house and senate, have been considering the house and senate, he would be supportive of such efforts, we are not laying out specific policies. kelly: for more on this peter doocy in west palm peach, florida where the president and family are vacationing this easter weekend. >> a white house spokeswoman told reporters that there would not be any new regulations levied at this time. that doesn't mean since in florida the president has not been thinking about it. he is now accusing the online giant retailer of taking advantage of the u.s. postal service and exploiting loopholes in the system. it is reported that the u.s.

post office will lose 1.50 on average for each package it delivers for amazon, that amounts to billions of dollars. the failing new york times report that is the size of the company's lobbying has ballooned and that does not include the fake washington post which is used as lobbyist and should so register. if the post increased parcel rates, amazon's shipping costs would rise $2.6 billion, the post office scam must stop. amazon must pay real costs and taxes, now, well, the washington post rebuttal came in the form of a news article by white house bureau chief and part of it says this, he labeled the newspaper the fake washington post and demanded it register as a lobbyist for amazon, the post operates independently of amazon though the news organization is personally owned by jeff bezos, the founder and chief executive of amazon. not all republicans, though, are on board with the president's

critique of amazon. >> what i say is, first, amazon should be left alone and let the market determine their faith along with consumers. secondly, fix the post office, fix the postal system, it has been losing money for decades and they won't fix the problem. amazon isn't the problem with the post office, the post office is the problem with itself. >> another target of president trump on twitter has been california's chief executive, the president wrote this a few hours ago, governor jerry brown pardoned five criminal illegal aliens, kidnapping robbery, badly beating wife and intent to terrorize, dealing drugs. is this what the great people at california want at fox news, so far no return fire from california's governor or bezos, kelly.

kelly: peter doocy reporting from florida, thank you, peter. >> meanwhile mixed reactions from lawmakers as attorney general jeff sessions announces he will not appoint a second special counsel to investigate possible fisa abuse, sessions instead u.s. attorney for utah for the job, jillian turner is in washington with the latest. jillian. >> republican lawmakers may not have succeed today getting the department of justice to appoint special counsel to look into alleged aabuses of the fbi under obama but doj has appointed john hoover, u.s. attorney for the state of utah to lead a new investigation into the foreign surveillance, process during the obama administration. so far reaction from the gop to the announcement of this new probe has been a real mixed bag, some lawmakers like dave brad of virginia are outraged. >> he reports to rosenstein and

rosenstein is in the middle of the dossier fault lines, the entire problem, you've gotten fbi starting with the top comey fired or displaced, ten top political appointees of the fbi are missing and the attorney general sessions who i respect says there's not enough there to go forward with the special prosecutor. >> others though, think this new probe is a step in the right direction. >> i think the attorney general has taken a step in the right direction in appointing mr. hubert to do this, it gets the matter outside of main justice, outside of washington, d.c., leaves the door open for a special counsel. >> all republicans do agree on the charge that is the fbi under president obama mishandled intelligence surveillance process. democrats for their part contend a second special counsel for this matter is a pipe dream and they are perfectly content with the special counsel already on offer for the russia matter, that's robert mueller.

>> mr. mueller has done this brilliantly, he moved toward the middle and done this in surgical context, getting people in vulnerable state who are willing to and have information that we need to know. >> hubert new probe will probe in fisa warrants, special interest here the warrant that was granted to the fbi that allowed them to surveil trump campaign adviser carter page. molly. >> jillian turner, thank you. kelly: more on this jamie joins us now, the host of jamie podcast, jamie, always good to talk to you. share your perspective with me initially on the fact that mr. hubert is going to be investigating the case now, get get away from the special counsel, the second special counsel that the republicans desperately wanted. >> well, another investigation in washington, that's my first

reaction. look, they left open the possibility that hubert can recommend that a special prosecutor is necessary, i guess the department of justice, attorney general jeff sessions believes that you need to have extraordinary circumstances to get that. he doesn't think it merit that is in these cases both looking into the uranium one alleged scandal and the fisa whether that was mishandled the way to get carter page's warrant for surveillance, but i think a lot of this, the problem in my view is that overriding all this, on top of all this, there's the political element and that has been aided and abetted by the president who has tweeted about these matters, pressured the doj to launch this investigation specifically under uranium one and above this, whether it's fair or not, there's the pain of politics. >> there's a lot of people who would agree with you on that point, in fact, it was going to

go to my next question, is the call for the second special counsel one that's politically motivated or are the republicans trying to drill down to find out what happened during the obama administration, what happened with the fisa court, has the fisa court been tainted because of its being misused or alleged mishandled by the doj, department of justice as well as fbi agents at the highest level? >> i think there's differences among republicans, i think there's some genuine concerns that they think a special prosecutor will be the best way to whether find something and lay out the case or find that nothing went wrong and lay out the case and say, you had an independent prosecutor to come to the conclusion, do i think others are using this almost as a way to say, well, look, away from russia investigation, there's other matter which is problematic that democrats did, competed motivations and some

probably less sincere. kelly: of course, democrats will be pointing fingers at republicans and republicans pointing fingers at democrats, really move this ball forward to get to the bottom of it and then be able to govern, we are caught up like you said another investigation so if you will, explain to me what you believe the american people are thinking as they look at this and see more division, more investigation and less governing. >> well, they look at washington and that's why they elect people they claim they are outsiders all of the time -- whether they are really outsiders or not, that message resinates because the american public looks at washington and wonders, you know, what are they doing over there, what are they doing in the beltway, just seems like a big political mess, people yelling at each other, not

getting things done, maybe that's fair or maybe it's not, the perception in america that there's a lot of political turmoil here which is why when a candidate says i'm not from washington, you know, people outside of the beltway to like that. kelly: people want to see this president, people who support him, want to see him continue to be a disruptor but yet he's falling prey to some degree because of what the swamp -- falling prey to the swamp as they've called it, the swamp has a lot of different species. >> you can argue that there's nothing more swampy. if barack obama was tweeting about, you know, investigate people that are my political enemies and then there's investigation, you know, that sounds pretty swampy too me. so whether these could be completely legitimate investigations, i think they are legitimate questions and some aspects of this, especially the fisa warrant. kelly: questions on that one, definitely. >> when you have the president

tweeting about it, he wants to go after political enemy, divert away from the russia investigation, it raises appearance question and i think that's a problem. kelly: jamie, thank you, there's a reason for the attorney general to hold back and actually see what's going on before he initiateuates the special counsel but, again, he's put an investigator on it. we will see what happens to that particular investigation, jamie, always good for you to join us and we will continue to watch your podcast, thank you, sir. >> thank you so much. kelly: all right, tonight on watters's world, exclusive interview with carter page, at the center of the controversy, make sure you check it out. >> your behavior after might have been under surveillance. >> i have never anything done in russia for the last 25 years, 27 years. >> you didn't feel like you need today change anything? >> absolutely. >> they're saying that you're talking to russians, at the republican convention in the summer of 2016, is that true?

>> you know, there were a lot of diplomats at that conference, at case western reserve university and i said hello to ambassador. >> russian ambassador which is not a crime. kelly: here more from that exclusive interview on watters world tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern only on the fox news channel. >> fox news alert from the middle east where israel warns it will target terror groups in gaza if the violence there does not stop, the chief military spokesman making threats today. it comes a day after deadly protests along the gaza-israeli border leaves 16 people dying in those clashes, kitty logan with the latest on the recent escalation, kitty. >> hi, molly, yesterday second day of protest along the gaza

border with israel, yesterday were some of the worst violence seen in gaza in many years, funeral for those killed yesterday with thousands marching along the streets of gaza, at least 15 palestinians died in clashes, over a thousand injured. papalestinian president has requested national day of mourning. tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in gaza mostly in protest by hamas, some protestors were seen throwing stones, fire bombs and burning tires, when the crowd refuse today move back from the border fence, israeli troops responded with fire and rubber bullets and tear gas, hundreds treated in hospital in gaza, the un and the eu have both called for investigation into the use of live ammunition alleged by is ra ll soldiers, now israel has denied using excessive force

against protestors saying palestinians who died were, in fact, violent militants, blames hamas for the clashes but hamas says these protests are only just the start of a six-week long campaign due to end on may the 15th, now that date marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of israel and also the start of the holy month of ramadan, today's demonstration along the border fence was smaller, indication, perhaps that the protests may diminish but the mood there remains tense. israeli soldiers were firing warning shots after protestors threw stones around 25 people were injured, now israel says as you mentioned that it will target directly militants, hamas militants if the violence continues and certainly with the mood very tense as it is, it's not unlikely that the situation could flair up again, molly. kitty logan, thank you. kelly: more protest erupting in

sacramento, demonstrators there asking for answers regarding the pay tale shooting of unarmed black man by police, what an independent autopsy found as we go live to california's capital as authorities there gear up for more demonstrations, plus this, russia says that test launch another nuclear weapon, one that nato's call phase 2, both sides expel dozens of diplomats. what should be the trump's administration next steps as the crisis intensifies. >> russia is further isolating itself following the braising chemical attack, we are still reviewing the details of the russian action, let me say again that we reserve the right further to any russian retaliation against the united states. simple goodness

kelly: fox news alert, russia is closing the u.s. consulate in st. peters berg today and expelling diplomats who must be out of the country by april 5. the move coming after president trump expelled dozen offense russian diplomats over claims moscow poisoned exspy in the u.s. -- in the uk, i'm sorry,

garrett following the story from washington, garrett. >> they were not surprised by russia's tit for tat but the administration could take additional action against moscow. the u.s. closed consulate in seattle and expelled 60 russians diplomats who are actually spies working under diplomatic covers. the ambassador seemed to push back in assessment if pace book video called unfortunate choice. >> today dozens of our colleagues, russian diplomats are leaving the united states of america. they are not united states enemies. the united states authorities have expelled american friends. >> we want everybody to understand that the u.s. and russia are destined to become friends again. that's a change in tone when moscow announced it was kicking

out 60 american diplomats. white house press secretary sarah sanders says the move marks, quote, further deterioration in russia relationship and goes onto say it was not anticipated and the united states will deal with it. in total, russia kicked out more than 150 diplomats from roughly 2 dozen countries which also expelled u.s. -- russian diplomats this week in show of solidarity with great britain over the poison attack of a former russian spy and his daughter in england which the uk and allies have attributed to russia. in just the past couple of days we have learned that u.s. intelligence agencies are very much involved in that investigation and uk's security officials are telling us they have discovered russian plans for additional assassinations of defectors, kelly. kelly: garrett tenney reporting from washington. >> a fox news alert, russia making more headlines claiming it tested new intercontinental ballistic missile for the second

time on friday, russian president vladimir putin saying it can strike anywhere in the world. this as nato fears that forces may not be ready to deal with russia should a conflict arise, for more on all of this james, senior fellow at heritage foundation, thank you for being here today. >> good to be with you. were we have a dramatic ground to cover on this, let's target with the reaction to this poisoning, we are kicking out diplomats, russia is kicking out diplomats. canada, nato allies as well. this is thought to be the biggest expulsion of russian diplomats since cold war, is this the right reaction, did the u.s. have to do something in the wake of the poison attack? >> yeah, i actually think the administration hasn't got enough street credit on this. coordinated efforts with two dozen countries and became a global response to russia, major diplomatic initiative coming

from a president who is supposed to be soft on russia and b, didn't care about diplomacy, this is a really powerful signal, kudos to the administration for really ramping it up and doing more than what people expected. >> yeah, you know, taking things beyond the discussion about what's happening farce diplomats are concerned, broadly we have seen the parton russia, sneaky actions in ukraine, the meddling in elections, they have done a lot of things that are underlying and sneaky and nefarious but are doing things bold and the open including missile test, how can we forget the video where it shows the missile striking the united states as well. what's the message that president putin is trying to send? >> well, you know, the most important aspect nobody has talked about, you don't put together a new generation of

missiles in a week or a month or a year, it's a multiyear program, if we go back to new start when obama administration cut a deal with the russians and they said, look, this demonstrate that is the russians are serious about deescalating the role of nuclear weapons in the world, we can reduce our reliance of nuclear weapons because the russians will reduce theirs, clearly, they did not do that, they start ad program on a next-generation nuclear missile and this really show that is the last administration's policies on dealing with russia nuclear threat was really, really, really off base. >> you know, he's also talked about this russia -- the missile being more powerful, that it can go farther, can go anywhere in the world, what should the world's response be? >> well, first of all, i think if you look at all of the things that the russians have done over the last few years and we kind of put a mark in the wall when the new administration came in, they invaded the ukraine, they invaded georgia, they really

ramped up the operations in syria, but look where we have been in the last couple of months. i mean, the u.s. has armed ukrainians, jordans, they attacked u.s. forces in syria and we literally tumbled them into the ground. from a hard-power perspective, it's been almost two years since putin had anything that looks muscular or impressive. he actually looks like he's on the defensive. what we have seen late of the russians is a bunch of disinformation, small active measures and really these kinds of propaganda speeches to make him look powerful and strong, if you look at action versus action, the u.s. has been much tougher on the russians than the russians have been on us. >> when we talk about russia, we have to talk about our tit for tat, but when we talk about what we are seeing in escalation as far as the missiles are concerned, are we in the cusp of arm's race, is that what we are looking at? >> well, i don't think so. look, we are on the cusp of the

next evolution of nuclear systems. that was going to happen no matter who's in charge, we are going to look sonic, i think the united states is also demonstrated that missile defense is actually and move forward and i think that others will as well and they will build systems to challenge missile defenses but we will build more powerful missile defenses to meet them. i actually don't see this as tremendous destabilizing environment that we are in now because at tend of the day, nuclear war is still unwinnable and unfightable and the chinese and the russians and the americans know that. >> boosting readiness has been a priority of the administration and particularly of u.s. defense secretary jim mattis, he has talked and really pushed on nato to be ready and more ready. is that sending a message, is

the u.s. saying, you guys need to be ready, do we need to read anything into that? >> from the perspective i think it really put the russians back in the place is they no longer see europe as an easy target. i would have argued a couple of years that putin thought the next step is dismantling of nato and the breaking of the linkage of the transalantic community between the united states and the europeans, i don't think he thinks that's a realistic goal anymore. >> thank you very much for giving your insight, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. kelly: president trump giving rally-style speech in ohio touting his vision to rebuild america and his speech about infrastructure, the political panel weighs in on that as well some other hot-button issues the president touched on. how would that resinate with voter ahead of the midterms, plus more protestors in sacramento after release of independent autopsy on stefon clark u regarding the moments before officer's fatally shot

department's narrative that he was approaching officers when he was killed. live in sacramento, california with the latest in the details, william. >> well, that autopsy is adding fuel to already fired up protestors, you can see behind me, this event was organized by matt barns, explayer by the sacramento kings, he's urging protestors to remain peaceful, yes, they want attention, yes, they want to keep pressure from politicians but they fear backlash and they don't want that to diminish message, he said in a pretty measured tone here that please fear us because they don't know us, we fear them because they don't know us. >> one bad cop doesn't make everyone bad, but one black man doesn't make everybody guilty, this is the situation. it's more than color, it comes down to wrong and right. >> so there's an autopsy that was commissioned by the family, independent one by dr. amalu,

exposed the nfl concussion policy, he says that, indeed, 20 shots fired by police, 8 struck stefon clark, six on the back and his conclusion that the shooting was not justified. >> i think it's clear based on the autopsy and the physical evidence that there's no way that mr. clark could have been in a position pointing a phone at the officers. >> if you can give me a cue. so two weeks ago sunday that a 911 call came into police, the car break-in, police, helicopter gave chase and two officers on foot as well and they said to stefon clark on the backyard of grandmother's yard, show us your hands, then officers say, gun, gun. the center of the protest was where kings play but team

expresses negative to positive and putting stefon clark's name on jerseys and giving support and we expect statement tonight symbolically tonight and protestors say lay off the kings. >> do not stop the streets. >> so the supporters are saying, they want three things from politicians, a different foot policy like apparently practiced in san francisco and oakland where they back off and get surveillance, less than lethal techniques, dogs, tasers, they don't want police to have freedom to mute the audio on their body cam and those are some of the reforms they are hoping for, they may leave here and march around town as they have done the past four nights in the row, but for time being the protests have been peaceful, thank you. kelly: appreciate your

reporting, thank you. >> i've asked republicans and democrats in congress to come together and deliver the biggest and boldest infrastructure plan in the last half century. i don't think you're going to get democrat support very much and you'll probably have to wait till after the election which isn't so long down the road but we will get this infrastructure going. plan generates an unprecedented $1.5 trillion investment in american infrastructure. >> we have 1.6 billion and we've already started -- you saw the pictures yesterday, what a thing of beauty and on september 28th, we go further and we get that sucker built. >> the president, president trump giving a rally-style speech in ohio on thursday where he referenced the border wall, layed out his plan for rebuilding american infrastructure, but the president also touched upon the upcoming midterms and the reboot

of the roseanne barr show, how does this resinate with voters in november? michael singleton, republican consultant who has worked on the gringrich, romney and carson campaigns, robin byro, democratic strategists, thank you both for being here today. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> so let's start off with this, i have seen the president speak on many occasions before the election and post election where it seems like he -- he's in his element, he really seems to be enjoying it and i also saw president obama speak when he was running for president as well, that's another guy that really seems like they are sort of in their element, so when we look at what the president is doing and getting out there, how much of this is a strategy about the midterm, how much is this about his policies now and getting those enacted, michael? >> look, i think the president has to continue to not only remind his supporters but also remind the rest of the country

that the economy is doing fairly well, we continue to see unemployment rates remain low, they continue to decrease, i think as more individuals become employed as employers are able to pay higher wages, you will begin to see consumer confidence increase and as consumer confidence increase, what does that mean, spending goes up, people have ability to buy more products, purchase homes, et cetera, all of those things are good for the economy, with midterms coming up, the jury is still out on how well republicans will do and how well democrats will do. one thing that must be noted that it'll be a challenge for republicans. i think the president is attempting to remind voters, think about the economy, the economy is doing well and that's something that impacts everyone regardless of ethnicity and regardless of political ideology. >> you bring up interesting point, when we talk about jobs, jobs, the economy, there's no coincidence the president goes to ohio, pennsylvania, some of the place that is helped him get

elected, robin, when you're seeing the reaction you're getting on the ground, people still pouring out and filling airport hangers should democrats be concerned when they look to midterms? >> you know, here is what we need to be concerned about, what we need to be concerned that we still don't have a coherent message and the message of resistance cannot carry us through the midterms because we are not offering an alternative yet, just resisting this administration is not going to cut it for the midterms because donald trump was elected because he was the anticandidate, people were tired of the parties not working together to get stuff done, so now if we are still giving democrats of just resistance, it's not going to cut it with your everyday americans that actually want to us to work together and we can do that on infrastructure and i know plenty of democratic colleagues that are chopping at the beat to try to get bipartisan reforms, molly. >> one of the things you see any candidate go out and president

obama was very effective at this and we are seeing president trump be effective of this, the chance to connect with the voters on the ground that could potentially head to polls in november and he talked about something that a lot of americans watched, the big premier of roseanne a trump supporter in the show, great family dynamics, drugs, prescription drugs, family dynamics, michael, do you think this is effective on the part of the president when he does that, when he connects with americans on something as common as tv show that could be popular today? >> remember when roseanne show resinated with everyday americans, people who are working hard, blue-collar workers and now today you have the show relaunching being relevant to the politically and social climate of topics of the day, what the president is attempting to do is reminding individuals in places like ohio, in pennsylvania, yes,

conservatism does matter, yes, values do matter and we will continue to advocate and be a voice for those individuals, you see that in the message that he gave over the past couple of days and you actually see those themes being talked about throughout the show and so i think as the president continues to draw that connection, that social and cultural connection to the political, i think a lot of people will be reminded of why they voted for president trump in the first place. >> robin, to you. >> you know, i will say this, i'm not a roseanne ever since she massacred the national anthem, but i will give credit where it's due, that show, that premier did a fantastic job of echoing the same conversation that's going on in so many american households these days because she talked about why she was a trump supporter, her sister on the show was arguing, it was so much of exactly the same conversations and the political discourse, it's causing families to be ripped apart, it's causing friends to

be alienated. i'm hoping honestly that the show helps bridge the divide to a certain extent, i'm just hopeful, i really am, i think he was smart to echo the show and talk about it and i know that he loves ratings and the show got phenomenal ratings. >> it was fun, i laughed a lot. we appreciate it, thanks for joining us. >> thank, molly. >> thank you. kelly: u.s. and south south kore set to resume military exercise just hours from now, ahead of expected meeting from president trump and kim jong un, all this as at a time when the un imposes sanctions against the north. is there anything that could side track what is shaping up to be a historic face to face? thou hast the patchy beard of a pre-pubescent squire!

north. despite plans for diplomatic talks between president trump and kim jong un in may, christian is a former senior adviser to the trump and bush administrations, christian, first of all, good to see you, and looking forward to your perspective on all of this, first of all, let's talk about the joint military exercise, is the proper timing, the proper thing to do to carry out? >> thanks, kelly, yes, it is right, the annual exercise, major exercise of forces intended to prepare militaries for conventional defense of north korean aggression if it were to occur, it was delayed. it was delayed first for olympics and para olympics good that it's going forward because it does show to north koreans that we will defend defense posture and not presume things will work out because of negotiations. kelly: based on that and we have seen kim jong un to always do

some sort of retaliatory action in response to our joint military exercises, do you think he'll do something provocative during this time period? >> i doubt so at this point. i mean, it is parulis to make predictions about north korea because they can be unexpected, of course, but kim basically went through a very long and strong cycle of aggression which is often what you see with north korea, cycle of aggression and then they pull back and appear docile and try to extract goodies from the outside world, the build-up this time with multiple icbm tests, nuclear tests and tests reporting hydrogen bomb really position him rather well for negotiations, i think he's made his point and probably won't need to act out this time. kelly: look, this is a big deal for kim jong un, puts him on the world stage to sit down with the leader of the free world,

president trump, when that takes place scheduled for april, what would the president have to do to walk away from the table and have initiated the kind of diplomacy that will, one, broker peace, two, curve north korea's nuclear appetite and, three, bring some resolution to the -- to the humanitarian needs in north korea alone? >> well, those are -- that's a pretty tall order. kelly: it is. >> those are worthy goals and those important for security and peace in northeast asia which affects us including our economy. we have to be realistic, north korea will probably not give up entire nuclear arsenal and liberalize human rights because either of these would probably be fatal for the regime. something like dismantlement of the nuclear program, end to testing of missiles and nuclear weapons and some sort of removal or honoring mechanism, these are more reasonable goal that is the president should go for, but the most important thing donald trump could do is be prepared to

walk away which i think he is and i think john bolton as incoming national security adviser and incoming secretary of state are willing to do and that's important for negotiations going well. kelly: we know john will not mess around with north korea and get right to the point as well as mike pompeo. christian good to see you and happy east the other you, my friend. >> likewise, happy easter, kelly. >> car lovers start your engines, we will take you live to the new york international auto show to check out some of the coolest rides on four wheels .
