3:02 am
brian: i don't believe it's steve: o happen. put your tin foil hat on. you will need that later when it's snowing. ainsley: are you saying the meteorologists are wrong? brian: not when they're around. as soon as they get to the set. ainsley: once janice comes back from vacation. steve: let's place a wager on it. i'm going to say it's going to snow a little bit. ainsley: what are they saying the chances are? steve: stand by, new york 60% chance of a flurry and stuff starting at 9 and 90% at 10:00. i have my dollar by 10:00. brian: absolutely. you will be on your plane to be florida. steve: i'm staying here, i'm watching the masters. brian: i need some national guard troops. new mexico says i'm. in california is thinking about it now we know yesterday he is thinking about between 2,000 and 4,000 troops on our border, national guard. what they will do is
3:03 am
probably free up more border security to do other stuff and just reemphasize having the 3,000 come across today and 300 come across today and 300,000 annually is not for america. ainsley: the president was there in west virginia to talk about taxes. and he had the script, just a one page script. and i literally takes that piece of paper and throws it in the air and says the heck with this. i'm not going to talk about taxes. i'm going to talk about what you care about border security. this is coal country where hillary said she was was going to take away your jobs. >> this was going to be my remarks it would have taken about two minutes but what the hell u that would have been a little boring. >> we have the worst laws. catch and release, which we're terminating very quickly. we are doing it in pieces. we are working out systems now and we called out the national guard and and we're doing a real job. i will tell you what, the
3:04 am
laws of this country have to be strengthened and tufnsd toughened up. we have to have strong borders. we are going to have our wall. and we are going to get it very strongly. the military is going to be building some of it. and we have to change our laws, and we are working on doing that. steve: what he just said there, telling it like it is as the banner says right there. there was a lot going on in there aside from starting with a little flourish where he goes off script. he says we will events actually have the wall. he talked a little bit about the national guard. although it was on air force one flying back to washington revealed the numbers between 2 and 4,000. that catch and release thing we have been talking about a lot given the fact the caravan is coming in, we are terminating it very, very quickly. how are they going to do that? we heard from the judge a couple days ago. he can do it. mean while, going off script, that's nothing new for this president, just ask
3:05 am
his former communications director. >> that's haze operating style. he likes when people are tuning in listening to him. i think that caravan, whatever the size and scope and nature of it was definitely disbanded as a direct result of the comment he has been making over the last 4 or 5 days. is he getting his point across. the border crossings, the illegal immigration into the united states from the southern border is at a 46-year low. and so he is asking people to consider the laws that are on the books and records of the u.s. and abide by them. is he for legal immigration as is the rest of the nation. ainsley: for legal immigration. people can come in legally and do it the right way. his job is to protect americans not only from the crime and criminals but also save you money. a lot of the your tax-paying dollars are going to fund them when it comes to healthcare, when it comes to their education. criminal justice. brian: when you look at the
3:06 am
economy, it is roaring. and a lot has to do with the tax cut production, optimism, but when the president threw out that script, and threw out the topic, it allows people to go off base with him. voter fraud. people in california are voting four or five times. he talked about those caravans with massive rapes going on with the caravans and going down the escalator and talked about this thing about the wall. we weren't talking about emotional moments like this which are pure and this is why he ran. this is buried and nonexistent on other networks. listen to what actually took place when we were talking about the imhe economy and tax cuts. >> i just want to say thank you. i said i wasn't going to cry. [laughter] i just want to say thank you to you for the tax cuts. this is a big deal for our family. we really support you, and this is a big deal, these tax cuts are a big deal. thank you for listening to
3:07 am
us. thank you for fighting for us. thank you for carrying enough to allow us the opportunity to come here and tell you thank you to your face. my boys, my little 10-year-old wants to be president one day. >> it will happen. ainsley: that is so sweet. what a touching testimony. jessica hodge and her husband is tony hodge. sea mail carrier. she got emotional talking about how much that money means to their family. it is a big deal to families. have you nancy pelosi calling them crumbs. she even said if democrats win in november, those go away. those tax cuts go away. she will take away that bonus and that tax cut from that family right there. steve: i think that will become part of a big commercial come november. but what's interesting about the fact that jessica hodge got so emotional talking about the tax cuts is the fact that the president of the united states took shots at the sitting senator from west virginia, joe manchin and said, you know, we need
3:08 am
more republicans in congress because joe manchin voted against tax cuts. ainsley: he said we migh he mige a friendly guy. he is friendly in the hallways but he voted against the tax cut. receive steve he voted against fixing healthcare. there are three other republicans running to joe manchin's seat. the fellow that ran massi. mining disaster 29 people died. this man wound up in jail for i believe a year he was not invited in. however a congressman who is a republican and also the states attorney general were there because they would like to take joe manchin's job. you know what? the president would like them to take joe manchin's job, too. brian: he did vote against the tax cut but did vote for the banking reform to change dodd frank. the president came out and wrongly accused manchin of doing that meanwhile, when it comes to andrew mccabe and why he was fired before he could retire, we're getting some new details.
3:09 am
it's essentially this. there is four reasons. three stand out. a lack of candor under oath. a lack of candor not under oath. and improper disclosure of nonpublic information to the media, specifically we understand the "wall street journal" about the existence of the fbi clinton foundation investigation. mccabe's lawyer came out and says oh yeah he was given permission to talk to the "wall street journal." really? because james comey says he never gave anybody permission to do that. so, someone is not telling the truth. and james comey says superior. ainsley: what about in virginia his wife was running for state senate. terry mcauliff's group gave her a bunch of money. he allegedly according to the articles we are reading this morning, sources are telling us inside the fbi, that andrew mccabe got lisa page, who was his attorney working for him to go and set the record straight with the "wall street journal." steve: and apparently mr. mccabe, pictured right there, was not honest with the federal investigators as
3:10 am
to the nature of what he had sent her to do. and her testimony was completely different, apparently than his. you combine that, that becomes a lack of candor, then have you james comey saying what's he talking about? i didn't tell him he could leak. then have you got the fact that remember there was peter strzok who was lisa page his attorney's other half of the love birds right there. there was no love triangle. that would have been quite a headline. ainsley: love circle u. steve: here is a text from peter strzok to her. he says i think we need to consider the lines of what we do disclose to the department of justice. for example, the latest stipulation notes we will not disclose. in other words, they are picking up what to present. they are being very selective because they don't want to get caught doing anything bad. you know, it looks so bad for certain members of the fbi. this is extraordinary and then when the deadline came yesterday where they were going to have another 1 million documents supposed to be released and the fbi
3:11 am
said not yet. it doesn't look good they have redacted so much because they are keeping so many secrets from us. brian: congressman goodlatte is beside himself. he has got a thousand. he needs 1.2 million. jillian mele has 1.2 million in the bank. jillian: that's just one account. the other account has so much more. i wish. good morning to you guys, good morning to you at home. we now know the name of the thunder bird pilot killed in a training flight. major steven del vagnos crashing outside of las vegas on wednesday. it was his first season with the thunder birds. and the four marines killed in a helicopter crash killed in california this week also identified. captain schultz was a third generation pilot. samuel phillips joins corps in 102013. gunnery sergeant holly served two tours and corporal conrad became a father in october.
3:12 am
president trump breaks silence on stormy daniels. he didn't know what the lawyer made a payment about their 2006 affair. >> do you know about the payment to stormy daniels? >> no. >> [inaudible] jillian: daniels is suing the lawyer to nullify the agreement. it only strengthen their case. m.m.a. fighter conner mcgregor appear in court today hours after turning himself in. under arrest after this bizarre outburst. >> tmz video appears to show him throwing a dolly at a bus smashing media day in
3:13 am
new york city. two people on board hurt and unable to fight. mcgregor is charged with assault and criminal mischief. wow, probably not a good idea. >> anger management problem. brian: anyone who thinks that's a set up doesn't understand glass in the face, cancelled bouts. that's not a set up. unbelievable. steve: he is in trouble. ainsley: thanks, jillian. steve: straight ahead on this friday morning the anti-movement moving through california. griff jenkins talking to leaders in southern california who are defying the governor. he is live at the border next. brian: and the eagle has landed but not where it was supposed to and not jillian's eagles. steve: ouch, ouch. ♪ the stars and stripes ♪ and the eagle flies. >> uncooperative bald eagle ♪ a lady stands in the harbor ♪ for what we believe ♪

3:19 am
to really explore any and all options we have as a county to provide meaningful input into this lawsuit. >> i have represented about 50 miles of our san diego county the u.s.-mexico border ever since i have been in office. i have seen the changes that have occurred on the border. and it's not good. >> and we talked to the ice side of this. the san diego field director greg archenbalt. take a listen. >> instead of having one officer go to the jail pick somebody up. we have to have a team of officers outside the jail to get somebody released. are we capturing those people? no. they are released into the street. we have to put a team together to look for this individual. it's more dangerous for our officers. >> just to put it into perspective, guys, archen bald was one of the ice agents stationed inside the escondido police department for which the mayor says he has since 2010 taken 2,000
3:20 am

3:25 am
hosting that seminar last night. we have been talking about, place ago spotlight on so-called christian privilege and how christians apparently get unmerited perks and have built in advantages over non-christians in the united states. abigail is a campus reform.org correspondent and jr. at george washington university and she attended the event last night and joins us to tell us what it was all about. good morning, abigail. >> good morning, happy friday. ainsley: happy friday. yeah, you made it. tell us about the event last night and what you took away from it? >> i was so happy to be able to attend the event that's gotten so much attention over the past week with a group of conservative christian students. unlike our liberal peers would have have done to an event they disagreed with. we didn't protest the event. we didn't stage a walkout. we didn't demand it be cancelled. we attended and ready with open ears and open dialogue and defend our believes we did just that. ainsley: how did you do that? >> one of the biggest issues discussed at the event is
3:26 am
christian privilege being extremely similar to the idea of white privilege. a big problem i had with this was i didn't understand how something you have no control over, like your skin color could be even comparable to something you have complete autonomy over like your religion. when i brought this up throughout the event a few times, it was ignored. it was dismissed. and the discussion quickly moved on. ainsley: you told our producers they gave you some escalator and stairs analogy? what did they say. >> biggest analogy made throughout the event was the idea of escalators and stairs. those who had privilege were on an escalator to the top of the building and those who didn't have privilege were taking the stairs. i suggested that the escalator to christianity is open to anyone who wants to get on it regardless of your skin color, your socioeconomic status, anything. and once again when i brought this up during the event it was kind of just overlooked, the topic moved on. you can view full coverage of this event and events very similar to it that are unfortunately happening at
3:27 am
universities around the country on campus reform's website. ainsley: they also said something about non-christians weren't guaranteed their safety on campus? what? >> yeah. that was something i was very confused about. we have never had any instances of violence on campus that have been made public towards non-christians. an example given were there weren't as many worship spaces in the foggy bottommen area for non-christians. to me it seems like a simple supply and demand issue. there are more christians in the area, so obviously there are going to be more churches. it's not that there is any malice towards non-christians, there just aren't as many of them. it's the same reason that universities offer or g.w. specifically offers more political science classes as opposed to engineering classes there are more political science students. ainsley: gw did release a statement to us they said:
3:28 am
how many people actually went to the event? >> i would say about 30 to 35 students were present. this is only because space was limited. you had to sign up beforehand and it was a relatively small room. ainsley: so not a lot of students. what percentage were in disagreement there. >> i would say probably 10 to 12 who were outspoken in disagreement or who i had talked to before hand and said they were going explicitly with the purpose of sharing their perspective. it was great that so many students went who disagreed because even though the person leading the seminar said he had no idea that christians on campus felt the way that they did. ainsley: thank you so much, abigail. >> thank you for having me. ainsley: you are a smart girl. thanks for coming on. she is college. i was at a party. you are a courageous young woman. i was at a party.
3:29 am
you are a courageous young woman. remember this cold blooded cop killer granted parole. hillary clinton isn't the only one who can't let go. >> she wasn't perfect, but she was way more perfect than many of the alternatives. ainsley: dick here to react to the former first lady's comments coming up next. ♪ that double vision ♪ enjoying a slice of pizza. now it's as easy as pie. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? you might or joints.hing afor your heart...on. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

[laughter] >> very solemn moment and a patriotic moment and an uncooperative bald eagle. brian: wow, there you go. it was your shot of the morning the eagle landed in the wrong place at the minnesota twins home opener. we all know challenger. steve: on a player. challenger the bald eagle landing on canadian seattle mariner's james max ton's

3:34 am
at the beginning of the week the story was about caravan of migrants marching towards the united states and there was a buzzfeed reporter in there so we knew all about it. it sounds like the president of the united states made it very clear called up mexico and said hey, if you want to get this nafta thing done, you better do something about it, and now it sounds like they disbursed so politician accomplished, right? >> mission accomplished, yes. people can cross our borders and think they can rip away at the fabric of our country, send it back to their country and then leave the american people just sitting here -- long gone are those days. >> that's right. >> if people want to be part of the american dream, be a part of america, what they need to do is get in line, rate their turn and become legally. >> it's good to finally have a real commander-in-chief. brian: there was 1200. some say they are still
3:35 am
coming here. by the time they get to the border, there could be a couple of hundred. we will see. they are defiant against the president. >> well, what they need to do is get in line and wait their turn. >> that's right. >> they need to get in line and wait their turn and do it the right way. >> yes. >> we're not having that anymore. there is a new sheriff in town. we are not having that anymore. get in line and wait your turn is what they need to do. >> that's right. and if they come here in defiance of our president, where is he sending the national guard there to the border for a reason. you come for us, we're going to be ready for you. to be ready for you. steve: what do you make of that? because congress has not given the president the money for his big, beautiful wall he is going to put the national guard down there, 2,000 to 4,000 it sounds like. they are going to stay there until the wall is built, the president said yesterday. >> i like that idea. i think think need help on the border. i love that idea. listen, if we don't have secure borders, we're not going to have a country. our country is going to look like a third world country. >> that's right. >> we have to have a secure
3:36 am
border. people be can't just start pouring into our country. i say this here to people who live in el salvador and all of these other countries. if you want rights, stand up and fight for those rights in your own country. fight for those rights in your own country. >> that's right. instead of crossing our borders, ripping away at the fabric and sending money back over to that country. fight for your rights in your own country. ainsley: we have seen hillary clinton speaking out. people saying she is not willing to let go blaming everyone for her loss. michelle obama was speaking in boston at a women's event, this is what she had to say about hillary clinton. listen. >> the best qualified candidate in this last race was a woman. and she wasn't perfect, but she was way more perfect. [laughter] than many of the alternatives. ainsley: ladies, what do you
3:37 am
think? >> well, you know, michelle obama thought hillary clinton was so perfect, why didn't she vote for hillary clinton back in 2008 when she was running against her husband barack hussein obama. she forgot about that shade thee threw at hillary clinton when she said if you can't run your house you certainly can't run the white house. well, women, black women heard michelle obama and that was reason we didn't vote for hillary clinton. >> that's right. she was a corrupt politician. and that's what they need to understand. i think that it's time for hillary clinton to get michelle obama, both of them can go into the woods and realize that president trump is both of their presidents. brian: she said 8 years barack was president having the good parent, responsible parent and tells to you go to bed on time and eat your parents. now we have the other parent. feels like it would be fun. eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow the rules. >> and they have both been in the white house for 8 years.
3:38 am
we don't need either one of them in the white house anymore. >> we don't need either one of them who to vote for. we have a perfect president. his name is donald j. trump. is he truly making america great again. steve: i have a feeling they like him. brian: thank you. >> chitchat tour diamond and silk.com. >> this sunday. steve: have a great weekend. 22 minutes now before the top of the hour, jillian joins us with some news outside of new york city. jillian: that's right. good morning to you guys. a judge in new york stopping the release of a cop killer until a new lawsuit by one of his victim's widows can be reviewed. in 1971 officers were lured into a building by her man belle and two others and gunned down in cold blood. the wife of one of the officers claimed the parole board failed procedural executive law when ordered his parole. she joined us last month with this powerful message.

when all you want is good sleep? zzzquil: a non-habit forming sleep-aid that's not for pain, just for sleep. you totanobody's hurt, new car. but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.
3:44 am
3:45 am
ainsley: some lawmakers also slamming the president's proposal saying it will hurt american agriculture. so, is this the right move? brian: after we say what about another 11 billion. they answer back hours later. are we in a trade war? let's ask and get the reaction of the director of the white house office of trade and manufacturing policy peter navarro. peter, first off, what went into the president's decision to go from 50 to $100 billion worth of tariffs on china. >> the context is china steals you are intellectual property. everybody knows when our companies goes to china they are forced to surrender technology and china has a blueprint to steal our economic future by stealing industries like artificial intelligence, robotics, and such. president trump directed lighthizer to develop
3:46 am
tariffs and other restrictions to make sure china doesn't do that that's where we are at. after china responded not by cleaning up its act but punish american farmers. the president made a decision. this is the decision the president wants to send to the american people. first he will have the back of american farmers when china tries to attack them. he directed the secretary of agriculture, sunny perdue a great american to implement a plan immediately to prevent any harm done to our american farmers. we want to assure you that that plan will be put in place immediately. secondly. sending a very clear message to china. there is a reason why president trump sits behind the resolute desk. he will stand up for america message sending to china great relationship with the president of china. this is business. and this is the kind of business where we have to stand firm against china's business where we have to stand firm against china's
3:47 am
unfair trade practices. unlike the previous president for the last 16 years prior to this president basically surrendered over 70,000 factories to china and millions of manufacturing jobs. this is historic moment. steve: it's all about jobs. peter, i know some in establishment washington, running around with their hair on fire. can't do. this he made that up. is he ad-libbing and making it up as he goes. as we have learned from this president in the last year or. so this is simply a starting point. it is a suggestion. and ultimately it is all part of negotiation. we have seen it has worked with the chinese to some measure and the south koreas that's right, steve. talk is not cheap. it's veriens tensive. economic dialogues between the white house and china go all the way back to 2003 in the bush administration. year after year. look, the president, the mar-a-lago summit in april 2017 extended the
3:48 am
olive branch. he went to china in november. we have done everything possible to try to get the chinese to clean up their act. but every american knows this: every day chinese agents come into our homes, come into our businesses and try to hack our government agencies. and the president says rightly, that this kind of behavior simply is not good for the world. upsets the global economy. it won't stand. ainsley: we wanted to get your reaction to this. this is republican senator ben sasse. hopefully the president is just blowing off steam again. but if he is even half serious, this is nuts. the president had no actual plan to win right now. he is threatening to light american agriculture on fire. your response? >> for months we looked at how the chinese might respond to the imposition of the defense of america. we thought that they might go after american farmers as one of the most vulnerable. we expected better behavior from the chinese. but expected they might do this. we are prepared for this.
3:49 am
yesterday, the president announced and directed sunny perdue, the secretary of agriculture to protect and defend american farmers against chinese economic aggression, period. brian: peter, the key for your success by almost all expert accounts is getting our allies involved. going to the wto because our allies and others have the same complaints. what have you done to get others involved? and get on our side on this? >> sure. the government is a big place here. we have got the national security council. we have the state department. we have the department of defense. everyone is engaged on this issue. we are reaching out to our allies and partners. brian, the history of this is pretty clear. if you go over to asia. the philippines has been bull idea by china. japan, vietnam. europe is just very angry with the same kind of theft of intellectual property as we are. we are united in this with our allies and partners. we are working together to stop chinese economic aggression.
3:50 am
brian: do you think speak out today? >> say again? >> are allies going to speak out today on our behalf. >> we are working very hard to bring the allies and partners into the dialogue on this. if you look, brian, they have already spoken out repeatedly on this. europe has put in all sorts of sanctions against the chinese, including tariffs, i believe. on the precisely because of these bad practices china does. steve: okay. >> so everybody in the world knows china is doing this. nobody has had the courage but donald trump to stand up to it. steve: okay. exit question, peter, just a yes or a no. i have heard we are really close to a new nafta, yes or no? >> possibly. steve: okay. >> ambassador light houser not my lane. one word though. steve: just thought one of my words. ainsley: thank you so much. we saw in south carolina the textile industry, oh my gosh, the mills are empty now. steve: i know it. ainsley: can't have that happen. this is about jobs. coming up next on the run down did, facebook try to get your personal
3:51 am
3:54 am
ainsley: was facebook trying to get your personal information from hospitals? facebook asked several hospitals to share patient information like illnesses and prescriptions for a proposed research project. steve: facebook says the project never went past planning stages why would they try to get personal information. brian: that's not the facebook i know. let's get kurt the cyber go to break it down. >> how happy are you this morning if you are a administrator at a major hospital in the u.s. going whew. so glad we didn't participate in that. what facebook wanted to do
3:55 am
this is a secret project out of building a at facebook where all their secret stuff happens. they have a couple doctors there one doctor had led this up. the goal was they would get patient info like we are talking about but obscure your name of it that's how they are convincing the hospital. we don't want to -- we get the hippa laws. we don't want the names of people but just give us everything else. that would come over to facebook. steve: they can still figure out how you are. >> that technique is called hashing. the same way right now they know the four of us are sitting right here. if we have downloaded that facebook app., we have also allowed them to know when you are with somebody. they were going to get that data. the intent behind this was really good. the idea was for vulnerable patients who say profile could likely have something catastrophic happen down the road. facebook's idea was hey,
3:56 am
maybe we can predict this and let their doctors know or let the patient know in advance, good intention but now train wreck of arrogant behavior in the leadership at facebook. that i don't know when we are going to be able to trust anything that's going on. brian: front and center next week. >> what do you want them to ask. brian: i want them to be candid about intent and what is going to be exposed and what they are going to do about it. steve: everything is exposed. >> it will be sea wreck public speaking. if you want to check to see if you have vulnerabilities from any of the data stuff
3:57 am
go to cyberguy and "fox & friends." we have tools. ainsley: we just wanted to see our friends' pictures and wish our mom a happy birthday on facebook. now your medical records are opened up. brian: thanks, kurt. straight ahead. coming up, should the president stay in syria. the president is signaling he should get out. dr. sebastian gorka will put on a stethoscope and answer that question. steve: farage, mercedes schlapp, and geraldo rivera. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters.
3:58 am
well, here's to first dates! you look amazing. and you look amazingly comfortable. when your v-neck looks more like a u-neck... that's when you know, it's half-washed. add downy to keep your collars from stretching. unlike detergent alone, downy conditions to smooth and strengthen fibers. so, next time don't half-wash it. downy and it's done.
4:00 am
>> this was going to be my speech. it would have taken about two minutes. we have to change our laws. what the democrats are doing, it's insanity. >> president trump considers an additional $100 billion in new tariffs on chinese imports. >> this is business. and it's the kind of business where we have to stand firm against china's unfair trade practices. >> and she wasn't perfect but she was way more perfect than many of the alternatives. >> i think it's time for hillary clinton to get michelle obama, both of them can go into the woods and realize that president trump is both of their president's. >> robert di de niro is back and no stranger to bashing president trump. >> this is the kind of
4:01 am
horrific language that makes it impossible to bring people together. >> i just want to say thank you to you for the tax cut. thank you for listening to us. thank you for fighting for us. [applause] ♪ ♪ rock it inside out ♪ we going to rock this town ♪ make them stream and shout. brian: brian setzer wrote that song in massapequa. steve: we have a live image from the titled basin in our nation's capital because the producers put a camera there the cherry blossoms are at full bloom right now. it only happens about a week once a year. that's a live image of as you can see title tidal basin. gift from the japanese a proud tradition in our nation's capital. ainsley: trending right now on social media.
4:02 am
there is the washington monument. ainsley: only lasts a week? steve: unless there is a rainstorm and then it can only last a day. sad. brian: terms of immigration and illegal immigration in this country. when the president didn't get his money for the wall he had to realize get our military on the border. come up with a number of how many national guardsmen he wants and women he wants on the border between 2,000 and 4,000. right now, there is no permission from the governor of california, no rejection, but no permission to put them there. we have griff. steve: california is considering it. and although we are going to tell you what the governor of the great state of oregon said and that's not good. so the president yesterday, on the way back on air force one from white sulfur springs west virginia said he is going to put between 2 and 4,000 of the national guardsmen there. it's going to be open-ended.
4:03 am
he you heard in the open the lady trying to fight back the tears thank you so much for the tax cuts. it's really helped our family and her son wanted to be president one day. he ditched the script. he threw the piece of paper in the air and he said pretty boring. i will go off the cuff. funny you should ask. you ask, we deliver. here you go. >> you know, this was going to be my remarks. it would have taken about two minutes. what the hell. [applause] that would have been a little boring. catch and release we are terminating very quickly. we are working on systems now and we called out the national guard and you know, we're doing a real job. but i will tell you what, the laws of this country have to be strengthened and toughened up. we have to change our laws.
4:04 am
and the democrats, what they're doing, is just insanity. we have to have strong borders. we are going to have our wall. we're going to get it strongly. the military is building some of it we are working on changing our laws. brian: president was beside himself over the weekend when word came out about buzzfeed having a reporter embedded with a caravan of refugees headed to our border number between 1200 and 1500. president outraged by. this he condemned mexico for allowing this to happen. they have got stopped in their tracks in i believe pueblo some are still heading to mexico city and want to be heading to our border about 200. the president also said, came out and said some things that i think are going to be a major distraction from his main theme which reinforce the border, reports of massive rapes going on, which now people are saying what's he talking about? where does that come from? >> and the president of mexico is now firing back at
4:05 am
our president. so you wonder have we created way too much of a distraction instead of just reinforcing our border and trying to get financing for the wall. ainsley: he wants everyone to do it legally. i want to build big wall and put a door. come here legally. cost a lot of money to have illegals here and crime goes up. steve: we had a guest on this program last week i believe who was talking about how the president is trying to end illegal immigration because of the danger to people who are trying to come into this country illegally sneaking. in so i do understand what the president is talking about there has been outcry. kate brown not related to jerry brown. she says if the president were to ask, if she would deploy her national guard troops on the southern border she would simply say no. she is not for the militarization of the border at all, which is curious because, clearly, if you are
4:06 am
a nation, you need a border that works. brian: who asked her by the way? ainsley: oregon. she is not even on the border. >> she is not on the border. i'm wondering, too, legally, if you could put other states' national guardsmen in california because as much as the wall has worked in san diego, just ask anybody down there, it's not complete. and they are going to need some guardsmen in california conceivably. and if california says even though they said yes to president obama and said yes to president bush. if they say no to president trump, what are we do then? ainsley: are they allowed to do that in the the federal government says we are putting them down there. the governors can say no? brian: secretary nell senel said she is in conversation with jerry brown which means we are still trying to convince him to do the right thing. steve: plus, they are still trying to figure out what the national guardsmen are going to do on their southern border. trying to figure out how long and how many exactly but also what kind of gear they are going to take and also will they be armed? i heard a report this morning they would not be but then i was reading in
4:07 am
the "wall street journal" apparently that is still part of the negotiation, speaking of the negotiation, it sounds like the president of the united states, once again is, firing shoot across the bough of china. he made it very clear last night that he would like the white house trade folks consider levying $100 billion china. he is trying to level the playing field. ainsley: this is kind of your baby, brian. you love talking about this and how it is going to effect americans because you are very knowledgeable when it comes to this. i have been asking you guys a lot of questions. i'm not a farmer and i don't understand this as well as maybe these individuals that are very involved in it. but i do know growing up in south carolina, we had one industry that was a textile industry and we saw it go kerr plunk. >> shepard: jobs went overseas. ainsley: people out of work. mills empty.
4:08 am
put apartment complexes in some these mills. if you go to some of these cities today there is nothing there in these mills. we lost at love money because of it. brian: manufacturing is beginning to grow. nafta is almost renegotiated we heard prime minister trudeau, speak yesterday on the 5-yard line as well as the mexican president if the well wasn't poisoned with immigration talk. peter navarro, along with robert lighthizer are trying to get to the bottom of the trade imbalance and intellectual theft of our property with china. ing that he them head on. yesterday the president decided after getting a report. they have been studying this for 12 months now, instead of going 50 billion in tariffs. we're going to up that 100 billion. is he outrage is our president that china not president that china not only is not cooperating and negotiating. they are trying to attack our farmers and many people think it's because most of them voted for this president. peter navarro, in those red states. peter navarro weighed in about 20 minutes ago.
4:09 am
>> the president made a decision and here's the two clear messages the president wants to send to the american people. first, he will have the backs of personal farmers which china tries to attack them. secondly, he is sending a very clear message to china. there is a reason why president trump sits behind the resolute desk. he will stand up foreamerica. this is business. and this is the kind of business where we have to stand firm against china's unfair trade practices unlike the previous presidents for the last 16 years prior to this president basically surrendered over 7,000 factories to china and millions of manufacturing jobs. this is historic moment. ainsley: i do believe him. i believe he will have the backs of americans. look at the coal industry. hillary clinton went into west virginia and said i want to end the coal industry. and he went immediately afterwards and said i want to bring back the jobs and protect you guys. brian: that's easier than. ainsley: is he a negotiator and that's what he is good at.
4:10 am
steve: this is the starting point. according to the "wall street journal." united states has 375 billion-dollar trade deficit with china. he would like to reduce that the president, by 100 billion and also reduce the import tariffs on cars and open up the financial markets as well. ultimately that is, it sounds like his end game. right now he is throwing out the 150 number. keep in mind, it's just a consideration. it's what if. behind the scenes talking. ainsley: prices might go up when it comes to soybeans and cars. jobs will come back? brian: right now the markets are going down on the future. bounce back. china's trump card? they have 1.17 trillion of our treasuries. that was at the end of january. since gone up. what if they do a call on that? that? steve: ultimately though there are no tariffs. it's all a suggestion all in negotiation and this is the opening bid from the president. so, stay tuned.
4:11 am

4:18 am
president trump signaling is he ready to pull out all our troops in syria. many are nervous about that. the white house won't exactly say when or what is the president actually up to when it comes to syria? should we actually stay or should we go? let's ask the former deputy assistant to the president who is still in constant contact with the president. is he a fox news contributor dr. sebastian gorka. book defeating jihad. secretary of defense mattis, incoming security advisor bolton. whoa, mr. president, wrong time to leave. president obama did this once we paid the price with the rise of isis. doesn't the president realize that? >> he does, brian. just as steve discussed in prior segment in regards to china. is he setting the conditions for the negative areas settlement. and getting other people more involved than they are. it's a trump model. he is not interventionist. he doesn't believe in
4:19 am
massive amounts of u.s. troops deployed around the world. world. we will keep a president, in my opinion, the trump model for wherever we have some interest is to have a very light footprint. a small footprint and then get others engaged. i know the national security council is negotiating with saudi arabia, for uae for them to stump up a lot of money to train the resistance. to train the anti-assad forces and to stabilize that area. don't worry, we are not going to see iran coming and exploit it as they did after obama pulled our troops out of iraq. brian: in other words, if our 2,000 troops are going to be there, he wants saudi arabia, cutter, the uae to pay for it. >> not only that what we are going to see a diminished president, maybe half of the 2,000. and then sawedy, uae, others, finance the training, this time real training. not that joke under the obama administration where 15 people got trained for millions of dollars and then were killed. no, provide what is called foreign internal defense.

fid. it's a mission of bragg, green berets. brian: i'm surprised you said that i'm not policy to get assad out. doesn't seem like that's going to happen. as soon as the russians got in, that means assad stays. what are we doing? >> no, it's not about getting assad out. the only objective that the president has had since the beginning, since january the 20th, is to stop the mass blood shed. this is a civil war that's been going on for seven years now. estimates of half a million people killed. women and children. it's to stop the blood shed. brian: i would love to see our diplomatic presence amped up as the iraqis get set for another election. they will want us there. they don't want to be overwhelmed by iran. >> we do have the influence and won over their good stead. >> that's a big threat is iran. thank you, brian. brian: do it diplomatically, too. thanks, dr. gore canchts thanks, brian. brian: nation's top doctor sounding alarm will opioid epidemic you have never heard before. why the surgeon general

christopher harris. hi, christopher, thanks for being with us. >> good morning. thanks for having me. ainsley: you are welcome. what's your reaction about what jay-z just said? >> i think he is precisely the wrong person to have this conversation. it would be one thing if he had just given up his past, but he continues to promote a message, a divisive message. the left is actually promoting him because he is a shiny object to distract people. i mean, that's it in a nutshell. you always have to look at hot left is trying to promote. and why. they are focused is nothing. focus acronym follow one course until successful. their ultimate goal is to push identity politi cs they
4:27 am
know by using a familiar face, someone like mr. carter to distract people, kind of like a hip know tis using a spinning wheel or something like that to get your attention off of other things. that's all think are simply doing with him. steve: christopher, i thought over the last couple of years the democrats were pretty much decided that the identity politics they had employed in the past didn't that as a party. >> i think they decided to roll the dice on this one again, especially because they have decided or they feel like with their polls that maybe this is going to take root, that they can put this particularly on president trump. but, you know, what's interesting is i hear people now saying that oh, president trump is a racist. but, yet, every republican president has been called a policies or by the same standards. standards. ainsley: what about the former administration? did he do a better job? >> in terms of president obama doing a better job with race relations? ainsley: yeah. jay-z is complaining about white privilege. we had a black president for
4:28 am
8 years did he do a good job? >> i'm a big fan of booker t. washington. he has the first black man to be invited to the white house. and there was a huge backlash when he was invited to the white house by teddy roosevelt. but then we fast forward a little bit over 100 and something years. have you sean carter being invited into the white house or hanging out with president obama. and they are twitter buddies or committee, text buddies. nobody said a word. it's one of those things where they want to keep continued to promote an idea that not really there. when you are dealing with individual americans dealing with each other individually, we don't have the problems that the left says that we do. when you listen to the lame stream media we are all at each other's throat and it's simply not true. steve: you hear that all the time, christopher, after a while people start to believe it if it's not true. >> yeah. if it's on tv it must be true. that's what they are trying to get you to believe. we have been indoctrinated
4:29 am
to you follow that train of thought. thought. if you keep watching many of the other ♪ works, that's what they are going to keep promoting. all day every day. identity politics all day every day. it's just ad flood. if you keep hearing it, you have to say maybe there is some truth to it. no there is no truth to it but they keep perpetuating it. steve: christopher, what does your group unhyphenated america doonches we are an organization sounds like. we believe america is best not hyphenated if you promote the principles of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness then you are an american and no need for prefix or suffix, you are just an american. sean carter, i'm a capitalist. i'm a free market guy. i promote capitalism and free markets. i look at sean carter. i congratulate him on the changes he has made. but here's the question. who is following behind him? this is why i talk about gentlemen like booker t. washington. he took his position.
4:30 am
he took his wealth and actually helped to raise black people in particular up from slavery and helped to move towards racial reconciliation in america. is mr. carter doing that? i think the answer is no. ainsley: jay-z you, beyonce they have done phenomenal. their music is great. i love their music and i think they are doing a great job. look where they came from and they worked their way up. steve: they are capitalists. ainsley: i don't like the victim mentality. we need to promote positive and telling our kids to work hard and can you achieve your goals and that's what is american is about. steve: executive director of you unhyphenated america. christopher. ainsley: thank you so much. >> thank you. steve: griff jenkins has been talking with local leaders who are defying governor brown. he is live at the border fence next. ainsley: and your mission, should you choose to accept it, help cops find this bad

5:24 am
seriously considering running for president in 2020, but only if it is against president trump. sources tell fox business biden has been making these remarks in private meetings with possible democratic contributors. biden spokesman said the former vice president has not yet decided. meanwhile, a gubernatorial candidate here in new york by the name of cynthia nixon, you remember her from 2nd and the city, reportedly promising to turn new york into quote a real sanctuary state. several cities in new york that have policies that protect people in the country illegally. in the private event nixon blamed current governor andrew cuomo from stopping statewide legislation being passed. that is some of the news. here is more. ainsley: thank you so much. a north carolina man making waves for this impassioned speech defending the second amendment. take a listen. >> when will you all start standing up for the majority? and here who the majority is.
5:25 am
i'm the majority. i'm a law-abiding citizen who never shot anybody. the second amendment was written, whether framers liked it or not they wrote it for everybody. i am everybody. the law-abiding citizens of this city are everybody. we want our rights and we want to keep our rights. by god we'll keep them, come hell or high water. brian: joining us from north carolina, north carolina's own mark robinson. isn't even a gun owner. staunch defender of the american constitution, joins us with the story behind his impromptu speech. there was no teleprompter there. that came from the heart, mark. what prompted you to go up there? >> well, first off, i would like to say thank you for having me on and i would also like to say thank you for everybody out there. the response to this has been so overwhelming. people have called me on the phone, just random citizens from across the nation have called me, telling me that they were inspired by what i said. that is exactly what i wanted to
5:26 am
do. i thank god it touched so many people. i really thank people for the positive response. what really drew me to go to the meeting is the fact that i, i'm, i do social media. i do facebook. i talk about the second amendment and protecting the second amendment. i do that a lot online. but i don't find a lot of time and don't make a lot of time to actually go in person to attend meetings and really get politically active. when the greensboro city council first talked about trying to ban or cancel the gun show, made me very angry. when they announced this meeting, i found out the meeting the day of the meeting i knew i had to attend even though it was somewhat inconvenient because the meeting took place at 5:30. i didn't get off work until 4:45. i went. didn't intend to speak originally. after hearing some of the comments. i could not hold back. i had to let the council know how i felt. what i told them is exactly what i thought.
5:27 am
i do not intend to sit idly by while politicians make rules that make rules take away mine rights as law-abiding citizen the if i commit a crime i expect my rights to be withheld. until that time i expect my rights due to me under the constitution and my government and city and state. ainsley: the date we aired it two days ago, our audience went wild. we got some emails and many are gun owners and agree with you, support the second amendment. that same day, california, some of the cities breaking away from the state, suing the state because they don't want it be a sanctuary state. what is happening in our country? you're one of the ones that has spoken out? you pushed into a corner and enough is enough? i got to speak out? >> that's absolutely what is happening. what is happening is, you have fringes on both sides that are screaming. the silent middle is just being overlooked. we're oh taxed, we're
5:28 am
underrepresented. we're disregarded. a lot of times our words are ignored. that needs to cease. good people need to start standing up. we need to start going down to the city councils, our town halls. there used to be an old saying, write your congressman. i'm not going to write my kong congressman. i will confront hill, face-to-face. you will not overrun me anymore, not put me last, you will put me first. law abasing citizens in this country we need to have our voices heard. i hope what i said encourages people to stand up and defend your rights. brian: you're a big presence on line. people should speak out to you if they want you to speak to them or your group. mayor nancy vaughn told us in response to you coming on. ultimately we decided to have the show, invest net revenue in local gun-stoppers ram which is
5:29 am
division of crimestoppers. their mission to get illegal guns off the streets. i assume mark, you're okay with that? >> well, i'm okay with that as long as they enforce the laws on the books. as far as i understand we had a young man in greensboro captured in connection with the murder of a 16-year-old girl. he was caught with an illegal gun and let out on no bond. he signed himself out. so when they start putting their money where their mouth is and start punishing criminals who use these guns, i will believe actually they're making an effort to take illegal guns off the streets. what i see now, i see a concerted push to end the second amendment. and it is simply not going to happen. the citizens of this country need to stand up and push back, because if they could take away the second amendment, the first amendment is obviously right behind it. ainsley: how can we follow you on social media? will you ever run for office? >> i have already talked to my
5:30 am
wife about running for office a little while back. i have actually in college right now. i'm studying to be a history professor. i'm not sure how it will go after all this comes off. you can follow me on social media. my name is mark keith robinson. i have a facebook page. i have quite a following on facebook. i would like to send a shotout to all my facebook followers. i really appreciate you guys. brian: somewhere they're shouting back. thanks, mark. ainsley: marks, you're great. i really think you should run for office. talk to your wife again. congratulations on your college degree. that, when are you going to graduate, in a year or so? >> yes. right. ainsley: good. >> i yes. brian: thanks, mark. appreciate it. ainsley: thank you, god police you. protect southern soil for us. brian: we just got march jobs report. we will bring you numbers when we return. anti-sanctuary state movement sweeping through california.

5:36 am
personally do because that's, seemingly meaningless. we'll be working in close session with our legal team to really explore any and all options we have as a county to provide meaningful input into this lawsuit. >> i represented about 50 miles of their san diego county, the u.s. the u.s.-mexico border, ever since i have been in office. i have seen the changes that occurred on the border and it is not good. reporter: to keep in perspective, why so many californians are upset because this law, sb 54 cuts the cooperation and communication between local i.c.e. leaders and local law enforcement. here is san diego's director. >> instead of having one officer to go to the jail to pick somebody up, we have to have a team of officers waiting outside of the jail for the person to
5:37 am
get released. are we capturing all those people? no. they're getting released into the street. we have to put a team together to go out to look for this individual. it is more dangerous for our officers. reporter: it is not a done deal in san diego county but looks like they will do something, one of the members, greg cox did not want to come on camera with me. he plans to vote against whatever they do. governor brown also hasn't weighed in on this growing backlash, twice. ainsley: i think we know where he stands though. steve: i think so too. griff jenkins down in san diego, standing guard at our southern border. brian: standing guard with the news is jillian. jillian: always. because they won't let me sit. brian: we're talking to your people. jillian: get you caught up on the story we're foaling. former first lady michelle obama thinks hillary clinton would have been a better choice for the u.s. instead of president trump. >> qualified candidate in this last race was a woman. and she wasn't perfect but she
5:38 am
was way more perfect. [laughter] [applause] than many of the alternatives. jillian: obama speaking at leadership conference in boston. she said people who want a female president need to support women with those ambitions but emphasized she isn't interested in the job. shocking video just released showing a police officer getting hit by a car. officer cody martin investigating a crash when a car comes barreling toward him, flipping him into the air in texas, austin, texas. he is recovering. he wants the driver to come forward. >> i don't any resentment towards being hit. i would just like for them to take accountable for the actions to learn from their mistake. jillian: officer martin had only been on the job for 10 months. facebook is not just going after your data but your private medical information too. listen to this of the company reportedly asking hospitals to share patient records to match

steve: this is a fox news alert. the trump administration just announced they are issuing fresh stock exchange shuns against russia. -- sanctions. brian: not a good time to be an oligarch. they are targeting oligarchs and other entities for a range of maligned activities around the globe including election meddling. ainsley: here to respond to this white house senior advisor for strategic communications mercedes schlapp. thanks for being with us. have you ever used word oligarch before the last few months? a ruler and oligarchy, very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence. what happened? what's going on? >> this is response to the law that was signed, and congress passed and signed by the president. that was signed, and congress passed and signed by the russia accountable. these are dealing with issues of
5:44 am
election meddling among other things. basically holding russia accountable for their actions. steve: of course we do know this administration did announce some sanctions back in january of this year, mercedes, but this not just about the election meddling. it is about crimea. it is about ukraine. >> that's right. steve: it is about assad. it is about syria. about attempting to subvert the western democracies, that is the election part, and cyber activities. so you targets these oligarchs and rush business leaders and officials what will you do to them? >> these are additional steps the administration has taken. as you mentioned, brian, the administration has been tough on russia. we worked closely with ukraine. you saw the action we took expelling 60 russians from our country. this is continuing process to insure russia's bad behavior,
5:45 am
especially coming to the issue of election meddling in this area and across the globe. brian: mercedes, a couple of things, we saw after the 60 expulsions for the nerve gas attack the russians did the same thing to us. in fact yesterday, a lot of our officials left in a bus out of moscow. i'm just wondering do you expect russia to retaliate? would that affect another wave back at them? >> what we all want in the end is good relationships with russia, when it comes to have a stablized region but that of course would include that russia does not move forward with bad behavior. what we've seen when they use the nerve agent, we stood with our allies on this issue. we took action we have to do what is right for america and what is right congress passed this law that the president signed taking additional actions against those individuals who have tremendous political influence in russia.
5:46 am
steve: well, this is breaking news. i know more will be developed a little later on. let's talk about something we've been talking about all week long, mercedes, and that is the illegal immigration into this country. the president wanted a the congress did not give him enough dough but to build couple miles, the president said yesterday on air force one coming from west virginia, he wants between two and now thousand troops along the southern border until the wall is it built. the administration is speaking to governors in each of the state. how is that going? >> let me tell you the president is taking such a leadership role when it comes to bothered security. he understands clearly border security is national security. secretary nielsen, department of defense, the team has been working alongside the governors to develop this formula that can determine the number of national guardsmen going into these different states. they are eager, these governors
5:47 am
are eager bringing in additional help law enforcement needs in order to deal with increasing border crossings. this is an issue that has to be dealt with. this is why the president so results oriented as he is we need to take action. we know bringing national guard toed border works. it worked under president bush and under president obama. this is immediate deterrent to stop illegal crossings. the other issue congress failed to act. democrats don't want to come to the table. it is unfortunate they don't want to close the legal it is unfortunate they don't loopholes. they're leaving i.c.e. out there without the support they need. so the president in taking this action is sending a clear message to i.c.e. that help is on the way. we're going to insure they have the tools they need to support so get their job done. brian: mercedes, if the california governor does not want to put the national guard, can you use national guard from other states? >> they're working through, the
5:48 am
administration is working through the details. at the end of the day i think it is benefit for all these governors that are on the border to insure we stop the illegal crossings. remember it is drugs coming through the border. it is ms-13 gang members coming through the border. we need to take control of the situation. the reality, why the administration is looking into legislation that would stop, end catch-and-release. as we know tens of thousands of individuals are crossing the border illegally. only 3% are being removed. that is simply not enough. we need to be able to have control of the border, make sure that our i.c.e. agents are empowered to make sure we have a legal system, immigration system people are coming through on merit, skilled, immigration system. that is what we want. we want to have immigrants coming in to match skills we need to make sure they meet our economic needs in america. ainsley: media from all over the country is invited to washington

to a dinner every year, correspondents dinner. he doesn't think he being treated with mainstream media fairly. when asked on radio what he said? >> i want to get straightened out to press before i do it. i didn't do it last year. i had a rally instead. the dinner was a massive failure. i probably won't do it. ainsley: we're getting a statement from white house correspondence saying he will not be there this year. what is your response? >> where the president wants to be, with the american people. why the rally last year was so incredible. why he was in west virginia yesterday, meeting with families, meeting with the workers. here in washington a lot of fancy pants elitism. i love with the president he wants to be with the people. he wants to talk about the great things he is doing with america. that is where he feels at home. steve: you know what mercedes, we've been doing this show a long time.
5:50 am
you are the first white house official from the north lawn used the expression, fancy pantsy,. ainsley: you and matt drove me 45 minutes to my hotel. could not get a cab after the dinner. yes. steve: who needs uber when you have her said slap. ainsley: took me 45 minutes out of my way. there were no ubers. brian: see if, betcha kellyanne wouldn't have done that. thank you. for getting ainsley safe. steve: on this friday, mma superstar connor mcgreg connor facing after throwing that through a bus. ainsley: what is coming up on your show, sandra. >> thousands of troops could be heading to defend our southern border. acting deputy commissioner of u.s customs & border protection
