a lot of festivities. don't know if it's snowing at our nation's capitol. it's been tradition olden days. brian: way to ease abby back go out in the snow in washington. who knows. she might be talking to the president by the end of our show. ainsley: i would not be surprised. last time he came out and talked to her. brian: i saw his g.p.s., and he lives there really. and he will be there. why wouldn't he walk over to abby huntsman? ainsley: did he last year. he gave an exclusive to fox news. i was out there covering it and i said mr. president, could i steal a quick interview and did he it. brian: just like that. ainsley: we will definitely hear from eric trump is going to be on the show. steve: and kellyanne conway and sarah huckabee sanders. let's talk about the president of the united states. he was actually tweeting in his motor said he's went from mar-a-lago over to bethesda by the sea church. his topic was our southern border. ainsley: that's right. he was saying that the daca

deal is done. hey, we gave the democrats a chance to pass this deal. aren't allow 800,000 plus. 1.8 million to stay in the country? guess what, that deal is done. brian: he ininterpreted the fact that daca is not done and not coming down in the future. maybe somebody in central america is getting green light to america. if you get here you are will get a path to citizenship unlike the illegals here. regardless of the school of thought. next thing you know there is footage and caravan that includes about 1,000 people, including women and children. most of which from honduras that are making their way our direction. and possibly to overwhelm the border guards and being that we don't have a wall, nor are are we really constructing one. the president feels the frustration of something happening that happened to president obama back in 2001. steve: all right. so the president tweeted this out yesterday. ainsley: he said:

he is saying that the catch and release program is unbelievable. once they step foot, have you got 1100 people, 1200 people walking up to step foot into the united states. once they put 1 foot on our soil, we have to take them into custody. we have to listen to their reason why they want to come in. and if they plead there is too much violence in their country or they are seeking asylum because domestic violence or not tweeted fairly or don't have enough money. we have to release them back into the united states until they their court hearing. brian: the thing is you shouldn't look at this as have a heart for central and south americans. there are other people on that line applying for refugee status who are in just as dire need only they are doing it the correct way. they are going through embassies and going through the application green card process. steve: so you have got this

caravan. 1200 people. apparently they are going to stop in mexico city and ask for asylum there. two thirds of them will probably either seek asylum or wind up sneaking across the border as many do. one third will stay in mexico. but, here's the thing, they are in mexico. we know they are coming here. here is the president saying hey, mexico, shouldn't you be stopping people in your own country if they are trying to come into your country illegally or maybe you shouldn't even help us. here is the president at bethesda by the sea church where he went to church yesterday in palm beach. >> mexico has got to help us at the border. and a lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of daca. and we are going to have to really see. they had a great chance. the democrats blew it. brian: go ahead, steve. steve: it's hard for me to speak after the game saturday night kill know have a, ku game.

they asked the caravan members have you trying to take advantage of daca? they said ma'am, we don't think we would actually qualify. brian: by the way, steve, good news is you can rest your voice tonight. kansas lost. sorry about that. i'm just trying to make you feel better. ainsley: he went to kansas and his son went to villanova. >> they stunk up the place. brian: why is it always sport. the caravan actually exists. washington examiner and buzzfeed picked up. relayed on sunday on "fox & friends." this group is called will. ainsley: people without borders. brian: i will go with people without borders we demand mexico and united states open up their borders. citizens of the country where we're and where we travel. the answer is no, we are not. we have a process here. we can't have open borders.

that he was not the way it works. ainsley: this is the press release that they put out to the people down in central america. and they said if you don't like out political unrest here, if you don't like all the corruption and violence, let's go through mexico and head to the united states and seek asylum. that was an actual press release to the governments of central america, mexico and united states of america. people read that and thought we want to hear this country and heard many great things about america. 1200 of them are actually walking. take weeks and walking through mexico. they started in mexico which is interesting because they don't have passports as you were saying to even be in mexico. the mexicans allowed them to cross the border from central america to start there. steve: do you know who they are blaming? they are blaming the united states. they say don't blame us for going. blame the united states because they have been supporting the president of honduras. not something that donald trump started back in the day it was john kerry who congratulate you had the president of honduras on his win when he won the presidency. ainsley: president said we

will pull out with nafta, we won't negotiate with you, mexico if you don't help us. and asking republicans to take the nuclear option. they have the majority vote instead of 60 for tougher immigration u. brian: few years down the line you have a democrat president or democratic senate. ainsley: can republicans not change it back. could they not do the nuclear option? brian: as soon as they get a majority leader in there democrat. same thing as you did. same way you got enough passed on nuclear option. if you had to go for 60 votes gorsuch might not have passed. they changed it on that vote. they didn't change continue everything. and even though senator schumer when harry reid is gone huge mistake. mitch mcconnell is not going to the nuclear option. he won't do it. steve: right. ainsley: hand it other to jillian. jillian: steve, your voice, where did it go? steve: go kansas. no. ains. jillian: have you three more hours of the show.

lawmakers, high profile ones on the right, for a second special counsel. is that the right move? did sessions blow it or did he make a good move? constitutional law professor at george washington university jonathan turley weighs in. jonathan, you like this move by sessions. why? >> i do. i think that the attorney general did exactly what people should want him to do. if he had appointed a special counsel, there would have been a considerable delay, great deal of expense. but it would not have moved this case along dramatically, certainly no different from what he has done now. what he essentially did is combined this large investigatory staff of the attorney general and attach to it a lion prosecutor, all the powers of a prosecutor. that will move this along in a much more expedited basis. for people who really want to look at whether there is criminal conduct here. this is a very good way to approach it. what sessions is saying i could still appoint a special counsel.

i want to bring in a prosecutor. combine him with this inspector general, and get at this stuff. to see if there is something here that we need to move on. brian: it's focusing on possible fisa abuses. focusing on the clinton administration investigation. possibly uranium one links. if anything had anything to do with the sale of that company. and uranium one. so, you're saying, too. since huber is already working with horowitz, there is not a lot of ramp up time he needs. he just needs to go down his own path, correct? >> that's right. this is seamless. that's why this is a brilliant approach. reserve the special counsel option. but you move it immediately into a potential prosecutorial stage. what the inspector general lacked were those prosecutorial powers. and both of these men, people have been criticizing them, which leola really has baffled me. talking about who appointed. who both of these men have honorable careers. they are respected by both sides u they are apolitical. you have got a line

prosecutor many of the supports. an ig knows his way around the justice department and shown his independence. this is a lethal combination for people who may have committed criminal acts. brian: darrell issa and senator graham both wants a special counsel. you say this is going to get done faster i something else you wanted to bring um. i did not know. this andy mccabe since he got fired had a go fund me page out there. he has got $500,000. for what? he has been accused of lying four times. who is saying keep up the good work? >> well, that's what's odd here. i have a column in the hill today on this point, which is he has already raised $500,000, which surprised many of us because the report isn't out. so people don't know what led to his termination. and that was a recommendation by career employees. usually charity follows some clarity as to what is involved. that's what is sort of alarming here.

mccabe wanted to raise this money before the report was released. brian: lastly, jonathan, if you are president trump, should you feel good about having jay sekulow and ty cobb as your attorneys? >> first of all, this is, again, i'm again baffled by some of the criticism. these are very good lawyers. i know both of them. and, you know, people have been portraying jay as somehow not experienced. this guy is a resume most lawyers would die for. ty cobb is as good as can you get in terms of in trench guy with criminal and civil experience. i don't think they are wanting for lawyers, quite frankly. brian: this is what makes you a great guest. you do anything but the talking points. jonathan turley, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: for your legal mind and expertise. i appreciate it coming up straight ahead. army of migrants watching towards america. i'm not kidding. next guest says border agents have their hands tied. dan bongino is here next.

debbie wasserman schultz want background checks to buy bullets. as far as the computer with background data, forget about it a lot of questions for her. that's her. zoom out. the day after chemo might mean a trip back to the doctor's office, just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home, with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%,

a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. why is dark magic so spell-bindingly good? it's a bold blend of coffee with rich flavors of uganda, sumatra, colombia and other parts of south america. like these mountains, each amazing on their own. but together? magical. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters.

story and you said there's there was embedded buzzfeed reporter talking about their struggle. okay. final. what about the struggle of the thousands of people from a lot of these other countries that have waited patiently online to do this the right way? what about that struggle? this is what always bothers me about the liberal approach to immigration. they talk about it as if there is not a consequence for other people, steve. there is. one, there is a consequence for us. americans who have to finance this chaos. this isn't immigration policy. this is chaos. secondly, for people who come to the country patiently and legally and they do it the right way. you can't have a country without borders. it's just a land mass without the borders. brian: yeah. that's absolutely true. the president sees what could happen to him, which happened to president obama. next thing you know surge at the border. doesn't know why. got to send joe biden down south to get these people to take their people back. a lot of them end up staying here and getting absorbed into society. end um in schools on limed

some of which are ms-13 as we know. we have big hearts but we also have a responsibility for the country. and for those other people online. so, in the big picture, did the president help or hurt himself by tweeting over the weekend? >> no, he absolutely, brian, helped himself. the president instinctively tapped into something this last elections that's been missing a long time. the liberals can crap on the country all they want. i'm sorry. but they do about how not compassionate we are. that'garbage. we have taken in millions of people, brian, into a country that's absorbed them. but, in order to maintain some form of a collective identity in a country, we have to have some sense of commonality and we have to give generations of immigrants time to adapt to their new country and new home. that's not what we have right now. we have complete total utter chaos. tens of million of people in the country illegally not having followed the process. having stepped in front of a line of people who waited

patiently to get in line. think about how crazy our immigration policy is now you. weeferl have the governor of california moon beam brown and his attorney general who will not discount arresting the orange county sheriff for enforcing immigration law whil simultaneously pardonig five people for illegal immigration crime to help them avoid deportation. it's crazy. ainsley: the president is hoping theta republican also take that nuclear option so they can pass a tougher immigration plan before that caravan gets to the border. will that happen? who knows. steve: probably thought. >> it should. ainsley: thanks, dab. brian: dan bo bongino will be doing his powd cast earlier. first it was confederate monuments. next u.s. presidents. first one. why one president wants president william mccinelly gone. ainsley: abby huntsman is live at the white house at the easter egg roll this morning. abby? abby: ainsley, did you this last year.

the white house in barack obama. and he pledged 100 days to fix the immigration problem. none of it got fixed. we're in this horrible mess now. but it should be no surprise to anybody. this happened back in the 1980s, they gave people amnesty and a flood of people into this country because they wanted the freebies. the same thing occurs today. ainsley: whatoday.ains. abby: what does the democrats do now. >> hopefully he comes to the table. he has been so gracious. abby: he was hoping that with the omnibus bill. >> shows you democrats are playing politics with the people's lives. daca wasn't in the bill. remember during the shut down it was so obvious what they were trying to accomplish in this country because they for whatever reason decided to stand with hundreds of thousands of people who are here unlawfully and illegally as oppose touted american citizens hundreds and millions of those people. and the president stood with everyone and said let's get this job -- i'm here to do a job. let's get it fixed and democrats haven't come to

democratic party accountable. joining me now is director of urban engagement for turning point u.s.a. candace owens and she joins us now. hey, candace, good to see you. >> good to see you as well. how are you? ainsley: i'm great. he went on to say he is frustrated with this president because of tweeting, hiring and firing. he wasn't favorable to the republicans even though in the past he has said some compliments to the president. is he more frustrated than ever, he says right now. the focus is too much on russia and too much on stormy daniels and needs to be on change. so it seems that he is frustrated with both political parties. what was your reaction to his interview with david axelrod? >> i think he was right on the money. i think what we're seeing happening is essentially happened with me. black people are starting to wake up and understand that the democrats have done nothing for them ever. really historically. they are the ones that brought us the kkk and racial terrorism. slavery. jim crow laws and then we see in the 1960's, they introduced the great society act which gave us the welfare system. what charles is doing is waking up and not fully on

the conservative side yet. i think that's what's going to come up next. ainsley: he would say to you because you are a trump supporter. he says the trump supporters need to look in the mirror and say my life sucks. i hate that word. i'm sorry. just quoting it my life sucks because of me. we need to take ownership because of that what were your thoughts when he said that? >> i think he is incorrect. he needs to understand that trump actually represents a very real opportunity for the black community to wake up. and starts with the death of political correctness. i don't really care about trump's tweets. i care about the results. the results are. in okay. black unemployment is at historic low right now. that's because of the work of trump focusing on our economy. and not so much about our feelings which has been traditionally what the democrats are hijacked our emotions. ainsley: it's interesting you bring that up because quinnipiac their recent poll says job approval ration for black voters is down. it was 46% in october. now in march it's 36%. so what does this what do

democrats and republicans need to do to 230e can you say on the black community. how do we fix any problems in that community? what's your advice? >> the first thing is putting back together the black family which democrat president linden b. johnson tore apart with his great society act and giving us new idols all together. we need to talk about the illegal immigrants. that's a huge thing trump has been focused on. they have been directly harming the community when you talk about jobs. democrat are so hyper focused on getting their vote. it's a major problem which trump is addressing. all blacks need to stand with him at this point. ainsley: okay. candace owens. thank you for joining us. have a great day. >> thank you for having me. ainsley: you are welcome. take a look at this. those are elementary school kids. they are kneeling during the singing of the national anthem. how and why? plus, a trooper signs off one last time after serving his community for 37 years.

my partner was there with me. he taped it, too and then when we finished, we sent it to our family and the day or so later i think my son called and said dad, do you care if i put this on youtube? i don't have -- i said theaivel. i don't know how to do that. so he did. steve: whatever that is. >> well, i knew what it was but i don't know how to do it. steve: sure. >> he actually had his wife through her account which is my daughter-in-law rachel, and it wasn't long after that and her phone just started to blow up. and then my phone started to blow up. and it just went from there. it's been amazing. steve: what's so powerful about it is you thank everybody. you talk about what a great adventure it has been. but you did not plan to cry. i could tell by the way you started, you were not going to cry. until the very end. and then it just all swept over you.

>> absolutely. did i everything in my power not to become emotional. it just hit me. i don't know. it's hard to explain until have you done this job for as long as i have, that the emotions just overcame me. and that's what happened. and it's just gone on from there. steve: trooper, what are you going to miss most about your job? >> well, you know, most guys when they retire you hear them say this, it's the people that i will miss. they are wonderful people that i have worked with all these many years. and the guys that i work with right now are just fabulous. i love them just like brothers. steve: right. >> you go through a lot of stressful times with people and you share the ups and downs of this job. you see many, many things over the time that i have been here. both good and bad. and so you really draw to them. and they become like your brothers. i work for a great guy. he treats us like kings and it s. a wonderful supervisor. i couldn't ask for -- i'm so

proud for this department and honored. i feel honored to be on your show also. i'm very grateful that you are doing this. steve: next question is what are you going to do with the rest of your life? >> i'm going to enjoy life. i have been offered a couple of jobs in law enforcement but i decided that i have had enough expossibly out there that it's a pretty dangerous job. and i don't have any bullet holes and i feel pretty fortunate. i have been in one head on collision and other dangerous situations. and feel very lucky, very blessed that somebody has been watching over me, i think. steve: indeed. >> i'm going to do that. probably spend time with my wife and grand kids and do a little traveling and some other activities and enjoy life. steve: you certainly have sender it. >> thank you. steve: if people have not seen the video it will be on our website friends@foxnews.com. thank for your service. >> thank you, i appreciate it. steve: good man. still ahead, can you really

stands on this. ainsley: it said border patrol agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the border because of ridiculous liberal democrat law like catch and release. getting more dangerous. caravans coming. republicans must go nuclear option to pass tough laws now. no more daca deal. brian: there is a caravan of 1,000 people heading our direction. a lot of them women and children. they feel if they are in a big group, they will be safer and is going to be so overwhelming to the border they will have to be let in and maybe allowed to get in and just infiltrate into society much like what happened in 2014. many of those women and children, probably find people but jump the entire system and were thrown into different communities. however, some were bad. and so were ms-13. and they put themselves within those refugees. steve: right. brian: they should never have been here to begin with the president wants to stop that. ainsley: looking at pictures from the caravan. they are from primarily honduras. 80% of them. a group called people without borders. they put out this press release saying if you don't

like your community, if it's too violent here which we all know it is, then you come with us and let's walk our way to the united states. and we are going to meet in south mexico where they shouldn't even be allowed allowd into mexico because they don't have passports or legal documents. they are working their way up here. steve: two thirds are either going to seek asylum. they may stop in mexico city or simply try to melt across our southern border. the president in the last let's see two minutes has tweeted this out: mexico has the absolute power not to let these large caravans of people into the country. they must stop them at their northern border. which they can do because their border laws work. not allow them to pass through our country, which has no effective border laws dot, dot, dot. more to come shortly. brian: facts clearly reflect. this inaccurate news reports should not serve to question

this strong cooperation. what's inaccurate about it? are those not real people? are they all heading this direction? reported by two separate outlets and we look at the video and see where they are heading. we asked where they are going. they freer to say where they are heading. they know their objective. they are coming in direction. mexico can stop it. a lot of times we see, other than mexicans for the most part otms are the ones coming across the border in the south. it's not mexico. they said if you are going to go straight through you can come in. a lot of them are going straight through. they are not going to get in here. ainsley: if you go down to the border, you will see the crossing. see where can you enter from mexico into the united states. they have this big room where our border agents work. and they take these families in one at a time. and they told mes when i was down there. some of them come in with scratches all over their legs because they made these long journeys into the united states. to try to plea for asylum. because they are escaping violence. they take these families one at a time. that's what this caravan is doing. they will stop there at our borders. they will try to get one

foot on american soil. once that happens then catch and release is administered. once they are on u.s. soil. once even one foot is on our soil, we take them into custody. we process them and they can prove credible fear of going home and therefore we release them into the u.s. until their court hearing. steve: they have done this for a number of years. they do this on holy week to appeal for special amnesty. here's the thing though, if those images are to happen where they come toward the united states, and, you know, there are reporters traveling with them, those are going to be -- they have already got security protocols where the men will form a wall around the women and the children. those images would be really hard to watch. you know, watching children and their families being separated. however, can you imagine though, if that were to happen where 1,000 people just bawkd into the united walkd states. they would be making the case for donald trump's border wall. he would say look, this is the reasonable we need the border wall from stop folks

from simply walking across an invisible line. ainsley: really quickly, this is heart-breaking to see these kids and by the grace of god we were born in this great country where we don't have to worry about all the violence. we don't have to worry about it because we do keep our country safe. you have to do it the right way. brian: let's change gears and on thursday, attorney general sessions disappointed some on the right when he came out and said there is not going to be a special special counsel. we're not just going to do it. right now he says i think john huber would be the perfect pepper to do this. he is already working with horowitz in tandem with the department of justice, hike call horowitz. the conclusion of the review sessions said huber pick it up from there and look how the hillary clinton investigation won the uranium one sale went and everything like that. he says they have full special counsel power. senator lindsey graham was not happy with that on sunday. >> my belief is it should be

a special counsel. here's the question. i want a second special counsel with the same determination and resources to look at the abuses of the fisa process. what the clinton email investigation ---was the clinton email investigation a sham. i want a special counsel to be appointed with the same resources and the same determination to look at those issues as is mueller is looking at the trump campaign. and i don't see that yet. brian: they say -- they got the same power. and he says this will be quicker to the point and if you need a second special counsel we will do it after that. he joined us earlier. >> i think that the attorney general did exactly what people should want him to do. what he essentially did, he combined this large investigatory staff of the inspector general and attached to it a line prosecutor who has all the powers of a prosecutor. that's going to move this along in a much more expedited basis.

for people who really want to look at whether there is criminal conduct here, this is a very good way to approach it what sessions is saying is i could still appoint a special counsel. but i want to bring in a prosecutor, combine him with had inspector general and get at this stuff. that's why i think this is a pretty brilliant approach. steve: it really could streamline things. michael horowitz has flagged the bad stuff. he could say mr. huber, look at this. we need to acted on that and that and that. you know, washington is worried about two things. they are worry about the whole russia thing. was there occlusion. this would answer it but, also, there is a cloud over the department of justice and the fbi that needs to be lifted. and if this guy can work quickly, get it done in three or four months. that would be great. if it's stretched out -- ainsley: i understand what jonathan is saying that would just drag it on. if you bring in this guy huber first. brian: already working with horowitz u. ainsley: bring in a second

special counsel that would drag it on longer. america so tired of this this guy could do something about it. steve: this guy could shored sht circuit the system. ainsley: some saying yes, some saying no. brian: the robert mueller investigation is tearing this country apart. it's putting people into their corners and then this would add to that even though their objectives are pure and simple and they have merit, the overall special counsel thing is really damaging. ainsley: special counsel which would be several people looking into it. that would even actually delay it. brian: exactly. ainsley: maybe having one person is the right. brian: it makes a lot of sense u 11 minutes after the hour. jillian mele always makes sense. jillian: absolutely. good morning, guys. ainsley: brian not so much.

steve: i know. one of the young men in that family was killed. murdered. but the night before he woke up, and said i have got to kill this family, he and another kid watched these jihad videos on social media. >> yeah. we are seeing this all too often. it's the continual isis, al qaeda. al shabaab. you name it, whatever terror organizations using the propaganda online with these videos to radicalize and inspire young kids in america to do these horrible rehence cybil crimes. terrorist attacks. why we are not treating.

in human history raised godless. it has never happened. pagans have gods. everybody had gods. we are in the midst of one of the great intellectual and moral gambles of history that society can continue without any tran sen can't belief. so i have been teaching the bible as a believing jew. i am a jew. most people think if you write on the bible you are a christian, completely understandably. as many christians have taken my courses, as jews have. but i just want people to know and i believe that this is the greatest book ever written, so did abraham lynn cop. steve: the bike? >> the bible.bible. steve: why dues this generation is being raised godlessly. i don't know that that's as accurate around people that i know as god is not that important to them as it used -- he's used to be?

>> first of all, the number of people none to religion. it's true to have no religion and still believe in god. i always ask these people what god do you believe in? it's generally a reflection of themselves. for example, do you believe that god gave the 10 commandments no, i don't believe that so what did god give? here's a good question. if god -- if there is no revelation of god's will. what's the difference if you believe in god or not if you don't know what he wants from you? i mean, so the difference between atheism and a god whose will i cannot know is minimal. and that's why i start with the 10 commandments and the introduction to my book the rational bible, i note how important it was to me. i had a difficult time with my parents, which is hardly new in humanity, right? by the way every family in genesis is dysfunctional. it should make people with dysfunctional families to feel better. this is one of the points i

make in the genesis book. this is exodus. anyway, i honored my parents. i respected my parents every day that i had problems with them for the years that i did. i called them every single week. and the reason there was one, i believe god said honor your father and your mother. believe me, it is a big difference in your life if you think god has a command or not. ainsley: real quickly. you said you can teach anyone that god exists based on reason -- >> -- the entire book is i am not a mystic. i have never had -- god has never directly spoken to me. i am hauer reason. on reason alone, this is the most profound book ever written. and i intend to make it the curriculum of your life as one guy wrote it. this is not a book. it's a curriculum for life. that's a great description. brian: go ahead. ainsley: it's interesting that you believe that about the bible but yet you believe in the old testament, not new testament, right? >> right. that's correct. but christians love my work

because the old testament is part of christianity. jesus was rooted in the torah, the first five books as much as any religious jew who has ever lived. so, there is nothing that doesn't support a christian's belief in this. and that's why i have a very big christian following and i'm very honored by that fact. but that i am coming from the perspective as a religious jew. it's not to convert anybody. it's to make -- i want you to take this book seriously. abraham lincoln almost never went to church. he read the book every night. do you know what we lack today? wisdom. harvard has no wisdom. ucla has no wisdom. they have knowledge but they don't have wisdom and it's because they don't have this book. brian: wow. 25% of americans describe religion as not very important. let's see if they are converted from this book. congratulations dennis prager. >> thank you for having me.

through into our country, which has no effective border laws. brian: daca is dead because democrats didn't care or act. everyone wants to get on daca bandwagon no longer works. let's secure our borders with proper border legislation. democrats want no borders, hence drugs and crime: americans want to enforce the border and crack down on illegal immigration. that's what republicans understand but the congress doesn't get. steve: congress you got six months to do something. because it is now stuck in the courts, there is no emergency on capitol hill. yeah, we will wait until they figure it out in the courts. that is such a big mistake because all these daca dreamer kids would like to know what is their status? what's going to happen? congress has let them down? brian: axios has this unbelievable draft of what's in the omnibus bill.

they put money in every program than president trump even asked for except when it came to the wall. it's like in your face, can i fund it in the blank of an eye but i won't because you want it. ainsley: i will allow these daca kids to stay and increase it to 1.8. he said that is off the table because you didn't take it when i offered it. brian: right. this is to emphasize her point. steve: there you go. jillian: i'm glad i'm standing over here. jillian: get you caught up on some of the other stories i'm following. starting with the desperate search intensifying for a teen under water by a rip current on break. javon trying to save his father and stepmother from drowning when he disappeared off the coast of alabama. the wisconsin teen hasn't been seen since last sunday. volunteers joining rescuers with boats and drivers trying to recover his family.

warm in several parts of the country. houston, temperatures in the closer to 70 degrees. will be today. spots like that pollen counts getting up to the high range. same is true in carolina. i know i'm dealing with the snow. but there are spots out there where there are signs of spring, hopefully it will be coming here before too much longer. brian: i love the count pollen. i haven't seen it. ainsley: azaleas are blooming down south. steve: i think that's where this thing started i need claritin. brian: tulips are bumping their head on the earth's crusts saying i'm going to stay in. ainsley: what about glad oleiolas. >> brian: automatioleiolas. >> brian: i'm not sure. ainsley: i'm here with mercedes schlapp. director for white house communications. >> good morning. abby: going to be a fun busy

that is why he moved to make this change. that is why he brought in admiral ronny jackson. someone who is well respected here at the white house, who has served multiple presidents who has bipartisan support. we're going to need someone in there who is going to be able to take on the challenge of congress, and being able to push forward significant veterans legislation. and as well as stay focused on the compassionate care of our veterans, which is a priority for this president. ainsley: he didn't resign. more of a decision made by the president. he knew a change needed to be made. >> general kelly offered him the opportunity to resign. at this point the president said it was time to move on in terms of veterans affairs. he thanks secretary shulkin for his service. and now it's on to what we need to do which is moving forward and making sure that veterans have more affordable choices that they are able to ensure that we reuse the backlog and make sure that veterans don't have to wait extensive period of time to get the service and choice that they need. ainsley: myrtle band is playing behind us very

steve: we have been talking about this story all morning, getting a lot of reaction from you. a caravan of my grants migrants0 strong marching towards mexico to the united states. ainsley: want to make a statement. planning asylum. others sneak across the border. what happens if they do make into our country. >> steve: here is brandon judd. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. how are you? steve: i'm good. two thirds would like to wind up with asylum with the united states or simply melt across our at times invisible border. what happens? >> well, when they come here and they ask for asylum, we'll take them into custody. we'll do hours worth of processing. and then we will turn them over to ice and ice will release them. based on what they call a

credible fear and disappear in the shadows. we are not enforcing our immigration laws. we not talking about legal immigration. we are talking about illegal immigration. the president isn't down on legal immigration. they are down on illegal immigration. ainsley: brandon, all they have to do is come in and meet with you guys on the border and have to prove political corruption. violence against their people, corruption gangs, police, ending murder, ending domestic violence in their countries. if they say to you if we go back, that's what we are going home to, if you send us back. do you automatically have to, through the catch and release program, allow them to come into america and let them go until they have their court hearing. >> yeah. they don't have to prove anything initially. all they have to do is come here and make a claim. that's the problem. they are being -- they are being coached by the smugglers that are bringing them up. you have got to remember, this is a multibillion-dollar industry. the smugglers are coaching them and telling them

exactly what they need to say so all they have to do is come here and claim that they fear to go back to their country and they don't have to provide any evidence whatsoever. steve: seems like the problem is once they are arrested, detained, and then they are released, why don't they just expedite it where, okay, they are detained, let's have the hearing right now. >> the problem is you have too many officials in the federal government that don't believe president trump is going to be reelected in 2020. they are trying to wait him out. i have spoken with many political appointees that say that the career professionals are all they during is waiting them out and hoping that they want gets. in federal employees did not vote for president trump. they are trying to throw a monkey wrench into everything he is trying to accomplish. ainsley: it breaks everyone's heart when you see parents and their kids.

we have to make sure we are vetting people to keep our own country safe. when i was down there on the border, they were telling me people come from all over the world. they walk in through mexico. like you said, through catch and release. we have to accept them into our country. why is that fair when you have a long list of people who aren't able to do that that are waiting to get in this country the right way? >> that's interesting. i have several family members from countries other than the united states. that immigrated to the united states legally. and they did it the right way. and so you have quote this backlog of people waiting to come to the country legally and they get very frustrated seeing these people in essence jump ahead of the line. it would be like somebody breaking into your home, sitting on your couch and saying hey, i'm here so you have to let me stay here. finance insane way of think of things. we have to be able to enforce immigration laws and have to have the political will to do. if we don't have the political will, we will be

talking about this every single year. ainsley: they are not really breaking the law though, are they? with catch and release they aren't breaking the law. laws need to change. steve: time for congress to do something. >> it is. they are breaking the law initially when they make the entry illegally but then through the court systems we end up releasing them. but we can. we can, in fact, hold them in many cases. we just choose not to. steve: there you go. brandon judd. president of the national border patrol council. joining us from the city of somebody a antonio, thank you. >> you bet. ainsley: still ahead, the taliban ramping up attacks. what does it mean for the war on terror? we will talk to the former commander next. steve: live from the white house press secretary sarah sanders is going to join us live from new york city where it's snowing and white house easter egg roll where it is not. ♪

in the afghan security forces. their air force continues to build up. new helicopters and new fighters. they have had new leadership in many key positions. i feel very optimistic about the future. brian: president cut off sanctions. haven for the taliban. >> we have been going back and forth with pakistan for years and years. engagement with pakistan and continued pressure on pakistan key. sanctuary across the border has inhibited us from doing things we need to do. i think we need to keep the pressure on. brian: big story in the "new york times." got a hold of our night vision glass. they are able to fight at night. doubled the amount of night fights we have 2014 too 2017. worried about what's going to happen in 2018. how did they get them? >> i'm sure they picked up some on the battlefield and buy some different sports stores. getting them from other countries around the area. they have had those for years in smaller numbers. again, i have confidence in the afghan forces the leadership and the u.s. forces. brian: i have confidence in you because anything you get ahold of is going to be

he wanted to see something get done and democrats refused to put something on the table or work with the president to get anything done. they wanted to use daca recipients as political pawns. i think what happened here is incredibly sad. hopefully democrats will stop playing political games and show up to do what they were elected to do and improve things for people in this country and improve the process that we're going through. the president wanted to make a deal. he made two incredibly generous offers went far and above even what previous administrations had done on daca. democrats still refused to make a deal. i think it is we're getting close to to an election. they don't want the president to win like ephas the last year-and-a-half. they want to do everything they can even hurting people across the country even if it takes a hit at the president. ainsley: sarah, we had a border patrol agent on our show talking

about the 1200 my grants or illegal immigrants trying to come into the our country. through catch-and-release they only have to tell them they're seeking asylum. coming from a dangerous area and they can't go back. we'll release them into our country. the president is tweeting about this. he is upset about it. he is asking congress to pass the "nuclear option" so we don't have to get 60 votes to get a ia immigration bill. >> i hope republicans do, and follow the president's lead. he has been very tough on this, for a very good reason. we have influx of drugs and gang members coming across from mexico but through mexico. they need to step up and do more. congress has to step up and do more, making sure we do everything we can to protect the people of this country. that is what the president is committed to doing. that is what he is focused on

is he worried about hurting the very people that are voting for him? china says they are targeting the president's base. they know what they do for a living and we're going after those products. >> president knows we're in billion dollars trade deficit with china. he is tired of us being taken advantage of and them taking our intellectual property and he is fighting back. we wants to make sure we get a dad deal. that is it what people elected donald trump to come to washington to do. we've been doing the traditional way for a long time. the only thing that has done is created a bigger trade deficit with a number about countries across the world and the president is not going to let that continue. ainsley: the president and melania will be at the easter egg roll. they come out at the end of the roll and mingle with the crowd? >> yes. we're expecting a incredible crowd today, thousands of people. there are lots of kids running

pushing people to give more on the nato process and making sure that the united states was not carrying the water for everybody. we want to be involved. we want to help but at same time we want other people to step up to put a little skin in the game. that is what the president talking about. brian: was that message to the allies, like the uk, the middle east allies, saying we need some of you guys to step in there? the message was to our allies, not really to our troops that were leaving? >> again the president wants to make sure if we're putting american lives across the globe that they're, used the best way possible. he always wants to make sure we're doing everything to protect our troops to, help our troops, and that's going to be the president's focus. sorry couldn't hear all of your question. got the military band playing in the background. hard to follow everything here in the morning. the president wants to make sure we're taking care of the

on daca. we have the chair of pro-american trump ban. eric beach. you say you guys dropped the ball. you didn't accept the original plans. now there is no deal, what do you say. >> i think the president is inaccurate with that. this, make no mistake about it, the president is the quarterback here. he will take all the blame or he is going to get all the glory. in this case with these immigrants marching towards mexico and him complaining about the border not being sufficient enough, whatever happens is all going to fall on him. the democrats had their opportunities, they made some mistakes. this will all fall on the president. we'll see what happens in these elections in november. ainsley: eric, what do you think? is that accurate? what is your response to him? >> well they're not marching toward mexico. they're marching through mexico because we have lax border security. the reality is, not just the democrats but the republicans lost a golden opportunity here,

because they had an opportunity to build the wall in return for possibly a daca compromise. of course the democrats weren't going to vote for that, that shows you where their true colors are. they always come up with a financial argument but you know, $113 billion the taxpayers have to pay in regards to benefits for illegal aliens, so i think this is an opportunity for the republicans to reinforce trump's campaign promise of building the wall. ainsley: anthony, do you have a problem with stricker immigration laws? we had a guest on earlier telling us what catch-and-release really means it. means any of those people coming from violent communities can walk through mexico from south america and into our country. once they take one foot, once they step into our country, and they talk to these border agents, the border agents has to let that person in our country and has to release them into our country until a court date. you're okay with that? >> i don't know i'm going to say

if i'm not for stricter laws but i do have an issue with anyone who wants to come to this country fleeing persecution and looking for a better life. this is no different than what the italians, irish did at the turn of the century. so for us to look at this differently now because they're coming from a country where the majority of people are color is totally un-american. and i believe that our laws are strict enough but if they're fleeing persecution, they have a legal right to come to a place where they feel safe. what other place is better than america? what other place is better for them to have upward mobility than america? obviously there may be bad apples in the bunch. some people who might not be here for the right reasons but i think that number is few and far in between. so let the people come here let the immigrant here and let's see what happens. let the laws work and see what happens. ainsley: eric. >> who is the arbiter of that?

also, that can be -- >> the court is arbiter of that. the courts are the arbiter of that. >> who dictate who is being persecuted and who is not? there are a lot of people all over the world at some point in time we're a country or we're not. we're not a country if we don't have a well. we should have the except the best and brightest into this country and america first policies. we need policies that don't undercut middle class america. >> that is the same argument made centuries, ago when the italians, irish and jews here. when i see -- ainsley: they came through ellis island at time. here is the problem, why even get on the list? why even do it the right way? it takes years for some people to do this. what we're telling people you don't have to do that anymore. get on a plane or a boat or walk your way through mexico and we'll let you in?

>> also set as precedent for other laws. we're a nation of laws. it set as precedent. it's a bad precedent to set. this is up to the democrats. they had a reopportunity here, anthony, to get a daca compromise. they blew that opportunity. it was a great deal on the table by the president. you're right he is the driving force. but mark my words, if illegal immigration is number one issue in these midterm elections they will pay the price at election booth. >> i disagree with that. ainsley: thank you so much. i appreciate you both being here debbie wasserman schultz wants background checks to buy bullets. when it comes to handling computers with congressional data, forget it. the revealing report, coming up. abby is live at the white house easter egg roll this morning. abby, what is coming up there. >> there is officially chaos in the white house. kids have taken over. you can see behind me. you hear about the white house easter egg role.
