personal foreign's office. all of which a so-called no knock raid conducted by the fbi. commissioned by robert mueller to get to the documents that many people thought violated attorney-client privilege. and add to that this was a cooperating michael cohen who had his attorney answering every question that mueller wanted providing the documents that they needed and all the cooperation got them was a huge breach. steve: according to the "new york times" it, looks like the investigation is in to bank fraud. the probe was not by the special counsel per se but robert mueller signed off on it because, instead, the fbi was raiding his office, mr. cohen's office, which, by the way is across the street at 30 rock on the 37th floor on behalf of new york's u.s. attorney public corruption unit. and apparently if you read the warrant, documents identified in the warrant date back years, long before a campaign.

although mr. mueller's team has been asking witnesses in the last couple of months about mr. cohen's role in the campaign. and in particular, they are focusing in on, in the questioning, early months of the campaign and the attempt to build a trump tower in moscow and what was mr mr. cohen's involvement. ainsley: he does admit he paid stormy daniel 130,000. he denies that he violated campaign finance laws. jeff sessions recused himself and that left mueller's bff in charge rod rosenstein. you have to also remember that mueller's team consists of most of the 17 confirmed attorneys on his keep are registered democrats or has made democratic political donations. the president was talking about it yesterday, says this is a disgrace. listen. >> i have this witch-hunt,

constantly going on for over 12 months now. and actually much more than that. you could say after i won the nomination it started. and it's a disgrace. it's frankly a real disgrace. it's an attack on our country in a true sense. it's an attack on what we all stand for. this is the most biased group of people -- these people have the biggest conflicts of interest i have ever seen. democrats all, just about all. they are not looking at the hillary clinton horrible things that she did and all of the crimes that were committed. i have been president now for what seems likes a lengthy period of time. we have done a fantastic job. we have beaten isis. our economy is incredible. we have had that hanging over us now from the very, very beginning. brian: they looking at campaign finance violations. they took the records as it relates to stormy daniels,

they are all gone. they took his computer. they are all out. his attorney is coming forward. the question is what precipitated this? what made them find and move so quickly on michael cohen? i read the book with michael cohen russian. they were for a while looking into a building a tower in moscow. that's not a secret. how it relates to all of this, that's what i think mueller is trying to find out. alan dershowitz was on last night and been outraged by this whole thing. ainsley: is he a democrat. brian: doing this to hillary clinton is just as outraged. >> look, this is a very dangerous day today for lawyer client relations. i deal with clients all the time. i tell them on my word of honor what you tell me is sacrosanct. now they say just based on probable cause, even though there was cooperation with cohen, they can burst into the office, grab all of the computers and then give it

to another fbi agent and say you are the firewall, we want you now to read all these confidential communications. if this were hillary clinton being investigated and they went into her lawyer's office. the aclu would be on every television station in america jumping up and down the deafening silence of the aclu and civil libertarians about the intrusion into the lawyer/client confidentiality is really appalling. steve: see, that is such a good point. and he was talking about agents being the fire wall. that's the so-called tank team. the u.s. attorney got all this stuff from new york. they have got it right here. they have got to make sure they don't violate client privilege. ainsley: client attorney privilege. steve: exactly right. fbi agents looking at it and saying you can read that we will talk to the judge about that. it's unclear at this point what robert mueller saw during his investigation that he would then say to the u.s. attorney in new york, hey, you need to look

into this stuff with michael cohen. we don't know. we know they took the stormy daniels stuff. we know they took the real estate stuff. email, things like that. but the nature of it, what they were looking for specifically at this point it is not public knowledge. brian: are they trying to intimidate the president to speak? is this a message. steve: it back fired if they did. brian: ty cobb who says i'm cooperating every step of the way. i'm so proud of myself for cooperating. where has that got him. michael cohen doing the right thing cooperating. where did that get him? this changes the tone entirely. ainsley: sources at the white house says mueller's team is just trying to take down the president. a lot of republicans feel that way. this feel it's a double standard. where were these raids when hillary clinton was white washing the emails and fisa abuse? steve: looking for client files or business records. nonetheless, right now, they have got them all. brian: meanwhile the president of the united states yesterday had his hands full. not only did he speak open

buy will these raids and investigation that's never ending, also saying listen we are going to be reacting to that horrible gas attack that the syrian government led beshear assad cost the lives of many people many women and children. steve: apparently the images of the children that really impacted the president of the united states. he has been in contact now with our u.k. and french allies and it looks as though there could be a coordinated strike against assad and syrian regime promptly perhaps as early as today. ainsley: president said within 24 to 48 hours. steve: these are the pictures. ainsley: so hard to look at. steve: it is. ainsley: he said it could happen last night. it didn't happen last night it could happen during our show. we will continue to follow that story. this is what the president said yesterday on syria. >> we're the greatest fighting force anywhere in the world. we are making a decision as

to what we do with respect to the horrible attack that was made near damascus. it will be met, and it will be met forcefully. and when i will not say because i don't like talking about timing. we can't let atrocities like we all witnessed, we can't let that happen in our world we can't let that happened especially when we are able to, because of the power of the united states, because of the power of our country we are able to stop it. brian: by the way, there have been 8 gas attacks since the tomahawks in the area. this is brazen. the russians deny it. they say we made up the entire incident again. i mean, i don't even know the russian people are too smart to buy this, you would think. who -- those are child actors sitting there in that area? is that what they are claiming? steve: we have heard from the administration, pentagon, reporters, what's the proof that the russians

actually did it or the syrians actually did it? they said it has the hallmarks of previous gas attacks. brian: they have cameras everywhere and satellite images everywhere. general mattis is reviewing all of that. they will see it and back it up. ainsley: they have dictators controlling the media. i'm sure the russian people don't know about these attacks. steve: very busy day. they started construction on the president's wall down near el paso. we will give you details on that in a little while. dr. sebastian gorka is live with an interview right after the news. brian: i talked to jillian during the promo. she insisted on being on the show today. jillian: i did. very demanding. high demands from this one over here. brian: we like to meet your demands. jillian: thank you very much. i appreciate it. it makes it easier, doesn't it. let's get you caught up on breaks news right now. china just filing a complaint with the world trade organization against the u.s. over steel and

dr. sebastian gorka is here live in los angeles to weigh in. dr. gorka, you saw the president yesterday. you saw the images saturday. where are we heading with this? >> brian. as i wrote in the hill yesterday morning, expect two things to happen or things to happen on two plains right now. there is probably going to be some overt response. full throated response that sends a clear message to assad and his sponsors. this isn't just about damascus. it's about putin in moscow and iran and china we are not countenance the use of chemical weapons like, this especially against women and children. so that's what you are going to see on the surface. behind the scenes, happening already there is going to be lots of up conventional covert means in the cyber domain and elsewhere to put the pressure on the regime. it's not about regime change. the president is not interested in regime change.

it's about sending a message and hurting the elite that is being so evil in that country. brian: right. brian: right. when you have 500 people rushed to the hospital. 40 people killed. many of which are children that have their lungs burned out and foaming at the mouth as they die this horrible death and you know this is the 8th attack since the tomahawk missiles. >> yes. brian: what do you think is going to be different about this attack and then the aftermath? >> i think what's going to be different is how visible the president's response is going to be. look, we cannot allow this taboo to be persistently broken. the president is not an interventionist. but it is in all civilized nations' interest to make sure these weapons are not used. they have been illegal for almost a century. taboos cannot be broken without consequences being paid by those who break it. brian: russians using nerve gas and u.k. trying to kill their former spies and they

are used 8th time as i mentioned. mentioned. do you look for them to now take out every military base in syria? i mean, literally destroy every military base and make sure that there is no such thing as landing strips there? do you say take a shot at assad and his family if we know where they are? well, look, we have legislation on the books that does not permit a if the to assassinate another head of state. we have had that on the books since the 170s. i don'it's about that. we are not about regime change. brian, i will tell you one thing, in the white house, i said it and i'm going to say it again now. we don't telegraph what we're going to do. the president -- we have the most powerful nation in the world. brian: yeah we do we said we are going to hit them within 24 hours. >> right. we're not going to tell them what we are going to do. right? that's how they prepare against you. clinton did it in bosnia. he said i'm not going to use ground troops. it was insane.

myou don't dothat in a chess ga. you don't do it in warfare or international relations. it's bad strategy. brian: russians denied there was even a chemical attack. they say we made it up. >> right. unbelievable. unbelievable. and also i'm pretty annoyed with those people who have these strange theories will false flags and crisis actors. they should be ashamed of themselves anybody who spreads that kind of rumor. brian: you got it dr. gorka, thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour. hit series against the drug cartels in the 1980s. >> steve murphy drug endorsement agent. brian: the real dea inspiring narcos are seeing the same things today ator at te

however, it's got to be a cooperative effort between a lot of different people. steve: sure. >> the pharmaceuticals, doctors, law enforcement, private industry, educators, family. like you said, we need to get ahead of this because, if not, we are seeing the problems right now. steve: steve while people say we need the wall on the southern border to stop the flow of drugs and all sorts of problems, at the same time, there is an open secret in washington, d.c. and that is how easily these drug peddlers use the u.s. postal service. >> unfortunately that's true. water because of the lack of regulation. we are companies on u.p.s. and fedex. we don't impose those same regulations on the u.s. postal service. it's just an open doorway to bring anything you want into the united states. that's what sire seeing on daily basis. >> why is it that the postal office has that special exemption? >> i don't know.

steve: friends in high places? >> i wouldn't say that. i honestly don't know. i don't know that they're receiving special treatment. i think it's more a matter of it just has not been addressed. it hasn't been a public issue until now. ainsley: i know you guys were embedded searching for a lot of these criminals. i can't imagine what that's like. i'm sure you were terrified. many times for your life and leaving your families and going to do that to make our country safer. we appreciate that. what did you learn then that we can carry into our lives today? >> well, if you look at the history of the cartels, what wht happened? another cartel took over. there are always going to be people ready to step in when somebody gets taken off. look at the mexico situation. the ms-13 the other cartel.

>> you got 171 nautical miles of the river. how much of this wall. >> zero on this stuff and sector. shut down real quick when an aircraft gets here. now, guys, less than five hours that exact crew, those same guys seized five bundles of narcotics in that very area. 362 pounds of drugs is what they got. and as you heard, not a single inch of a wall in the 171 nautical miles. it's just stunning to see how porous this border is and to relief the national guard is bringing to the border sector here in laredo. tomorrow, i am going to take to the river later today and bring you tomorrow what it looks like when they coordinate from the sky down to the ground and try and chase some of these bad guys. steve: griff, great job. what an eye opener, there you are randomly flying over and you can see the

smugglers right in the water right there. >> and nothing stopping them, steve. that river is just ankle to waist deep in most parts. it's a very easy cross. one way the river right behind us, they say they come all kinds of day and night here. brian: a wall won't work there, right? >> well that's not true, actually. the wall could work in some parts of this. because as soon as you get a wall, it moves the traffic elselsewhere. the rio grand day river which is just to our east, that's going to push when they do the wall there. they will build the wall there, push heavier traffic on the weather. they have to do something. steve: the problem the road is right there. as soon as they bring the drugs over, boom. it's gone. griff, good job out there. and we will look forward to your report later on. ainsley: you are going out on the water today, right, griff? >> that's correct. that's right. ainsley: look forward to it. brian: wherever griff is. ainsley: mark zuckerberg will be testifying on capitol hill today.

raid in four of michael cohen's offices and residences? judge: no. i did not think this would happen and quite frankly we learned a lot more about it overnight that we didn't know when it was happening yesterday. ainsley: who made the decision to make this raid. >> jeff burman. you probably don't know him. jeff burman is the acting u.s. district attorney for the southern district of this manhattan. bob mueller's people stumbled upon evidence, evidence, not proof, evidence of bank fraud on the part of michael cohen. and they said, look, a, this is in new york and our team is in d.c. b, we really are not interested in bank fraud with the president's lawyer. you take a look at it it's your bailiwick. burman's people look at it and say there is evidence here. some of it may be attorney/client privilege because the evidence of the bank fraud, i will tell you what i think it is in a minute, i don't know because i haven't seen it. is intertwined with information secrets that the client donald trump told michael cohen. michael copen has been donald trump the individual person before he was president. his lawyer for many years. and the lawyer for the trump

organization and the lawyer for all the entities observed, operated or controlled by the trump administration. so when the fbi seizes this stuff, they seize a lot of things that belong to other people namely the president. even though they are looking for bank fraud. steve: who is going to sort it out? i was reeled reading about a tank team okay they can look at that they can't look at that. judge: two ways to sort it out. one is to have a team in the justice department to do it. the better way to do it is to have a u.s. magistrate judge in lower manhattan do it. this is a federal judge. steve: but the volume there is going to be tens of thousands of documents. judge: yes, they raided his home under construction. the hotel room where he was occupying. his private office on rockefeller center across the street and his office inside the trump organization in trump tower. ainsley: that tank team is aloud to look through all of his clients' information? judge: they can look at it

but they can't use it they can only use and over to the prosecutor. ainsley: what if they leak is it. >> judge: clearly they would have violated the law. only use in a courtroom or prosecution what they were looking for. i suggest to you what they were looking for is. this bank fraud. michael cohen, name mustily admitted paying stormy daniels $130,000 not to talk about her alleged relationship with the president, which the president denies, during the campaign. mr. cohen where did the 130,000 come from? he said i took out a home equity loan on my house. what did he tell the bank when he took the home equity loan you? borrow $130,000 from the bank and you say i'm going to add a room to your house and instead of adding a room to your house you pay a porn star that's bank fraud. brian: frankfully none of us have done. brian: if you have an equity line of credit it doesn't matter. we don't know how he got the 130. he might have had it in his savings account. judge: he might have been able to get it without

telling the bank anything if it was a demand deposit. but if he had to tell the bank what he was using it for and mislead the bank. ainsley: bank would never give money. brian: wire fraud. judge: wire fraud would be it's a technical crime. you already got the money by fraud. you wire it over interstate lines which is what he did, wired it from new york to a dummy corporation he set up in delaware and from the dummy corporation in delaware to the trust account of the lawyer for stormy daniels, not her personal lawyer but her prior lawyer. the fec is the federal election commission failing to report this as a benefit to the campaign. again, in my view, technical crime. not a very serious crime. brian: russian collusion? judge: no, but if they indict him for bank fraud they will try squeeze him to see what he knows about russian collusion which is their m.o. brian: felix sadler who built trump solo who was

evidently the link to trump organization and russia that they have been trying to get something done from the 1990s and 2,000. they knew each other through high school? judge: correct the link between trump organization and build trump tower in mass cow cohen. brian: never went anywhere. ainsley: may money on the side without telling their client. >> no. it's unethical for a lawyer to pay the client's bills. kidding about this but it is absolutely unethical for a lawyer to pay the client's bills. extremely unusual thing that he did and, therefore, it's probably not enforceable. steve: look where we are today. the fact that all the coverage on all the channels is about this attorney in new york who is the president's personal attorney, you know, his offices and his homes were raid you had. in search for what could be bank fraud. it all started because jeff sessions recused himself all over the russia thing.

the put said in the cabinet room said this about the attorney general. >> the attorney general made a terrible mistake when he did this. and when he recused himself or he certainly should have let us know that he was going to recuse himself. we would have put a different attorney general in. so he made what i consider to be a very terrible mistake for the country. brian: jeff sessions should have said i was involved with the campaign. i should step down as attorney general. reclaim my senate seat. take another position in the cabinet. that was the beginning of the stupidity of jeff sessions. judge: hindsight is 2020. brian: he didn't each tell. >> he should have never accepted the appointment. the russia investigation started in october of 2016. steve: he was a bad pick. judge: if he felt he had to recuse himself. mr. president you are entitled to a attorney general in whom have you great confidence. i'm not sure if i'm the guy if i recuse myself. half of what the doj does i will have nothing to do with. steve: anybody who would

have been on the campaign if they were installed as attorney general then they would have had the same problem according to him. >> correct. steve: mr. sessions said when he testified last year as soon as i got there the people at the department of justice made it very clear that i had to recuse myself. judge: last time i was here last thursday the president was ranting and raving about the doj. and quite properly so about the doj not complying with subpoenas from a republican congress. the doj lacks the sister-in-law management and strong will that a strong attorney general should bring because sessions is too tentative. ainsley: if jeff sessions resigned today or tomorrow and decided he feels the pressure he needs to step down. place, would he or she take over the investigation? >> yes. there may not be a need for a bob mueller. there will be a need for an investigation. brian: let me give you a scenario. jeff sessions says i have got to go claim that senate seat over in alabama.

judge: got to run against doug jones. brian: run and get my senate seat. the president resigns. the president says goodbye rod rosenstein, have you done a terrible job and they put in someone like kelly ayotte in that position, would they have a problem confirming somebody who has been an attorney general already? judge: absolutely not. absolutely not. now, the put is entitled to an attorney general in whom he has tremendous confidence and faith. brian: right. judge: the best attorney general relationship we ever had was the attorney general's brother. steve: attorney/client privilege is dead and 30 seconds ago a total witch-hunt. more on that in a bit. brian is going to be talking to jim jordan and mark meadows. ainsley: some questions for the judge this morning. just stay for three hours. judge: i'm hanging out kilmeade. judge: she has been here the whole time? jillian: good to see you. judge: good to see you, too.

the judge who oversaw the mike flynn case. they hid that from us. we had to go over to the justice department to find out what was going none that redaction. how about just giving it to us in an unredacted form. brian: mark, do you know what she told us yesterday? she said listen, a lot of this has nothing to do with the clinton investigation. therefore you have to keep on going through the pages as well as the redaction. do you feel for her? >> i don't feel for her at let me just tell you, i'm tired of the excuses. i can tell you i have looked at some of this stuff. and if you put all of their workforce on the level playing field where they are actually redacting it every day, what they have produced to congress is less than two pages a day. i mean, i don't feel sorry for her. i can tell you it's more spin and here is what we do know. i sent a letter to the attorney general outlining 10 redactions of material facts. not just names here or there. but material facts that the doj and fbi are hiding from congress and when that happens, enough is snuff enough.

let's get the documents. let's do it this week. and if this attorney general and deputy attorney general can't do it. let's find two who will. brian: well, jim, you know, this is really the standard was set when lois learner was allowed to get away with what she got away with and koskinen allowed to you get away what he was able to get away with they are out probably making money on the side right now in the free market. this is the attorney general appointed by donald trump. an fbi director reported by donald trump. a deputy attorney general appointed by donald trump. >> yeah. brian: what is going on? >> i mean, i don't know. think about the double standard. yesterday we had the fbi raid, the president's attorney's residence and his business and got information that is privileged information. and, yet, when hillary clinton had 60-some thousand emails and david kendall had possession of those emails, they got to decide on the front end. david kendall, heather samuelson and cheryl mills and secretary clinton got to decide which ones were personal and which ones they got to keep and ultimately destroy and which ones gave

back to the taxpayers and gave back to the government. what a double standard. give us the information, mr. wray, give us the information mr. rosenstein give us the information mr. sessions that we asked for. brian: i will add something else to what jim just said. they also got immunity and sat in on hillary clinton's interview where they -- where i guess james comey couldn't even show up. so there is a huge difference between the two. but in the big picture, where do you go from here? being that you are not satisfied with your options. >> well, i think you have got a couple of options. there are some deadlines this week, we put forth deadlines, chairman nunes doing a great job has put forth deadlines of this week to deliver the documents it would just take one simple phone call from the deputy attorney general to michael horowitz who has all this the documents, who has testified under oath that it's not a problem to give it to congress and it wouldn't impede his investigation. make that phone call today. if not, there will be consequences well beyond contempt of congress.

evangelicals have wanted him to do. it's funny, if you remember back in the campaign a lot of folks are saying is he playing evangelicals like a fiddle, not at all. is he delivering on many of the campaign promises. >> many of them ainsley, a lot we talked to we were just at evangelical conference over the weekend, many of them will tell you they are very protective of this president and they feel like the more the mainstream media go after him the more they feel the need to protect him. and a lot of journalists just don't understand this. but, evangelicals, many will tell you that they believe that donald trump is god's chosen candidate. and for some people that just doesn't make sense. ainsley: yeah. flaws and all, like you said. the president is going to meet. his advisors are going to organize a group of 1,000 pastors and supposed to meet this spring. do you know anything about this? >> i can tell you we know something about it but the mainstream media clearly doesn't. there were so many different headlines saying that evangelical leaders are planning this big june

summit to talk to bhim stormy daniels. not true as donald trump would say fake news. the hill reported it. "the washington post" at first had reported it. they changed the story. we reported what is really going on which is a summit of conservative evangelicals that may potentially not even happen. but, when it does it, will be the issues that donald trump will be there. he will take some questions. but it's issue-focused. npr originally had this story. npr was reporting what a couple of evangelical organizers or leaders want to talk to the president about. but it's not one of the topics, stormy daniels and the supreme court. it's ridiculous. and once again. it goes this idea that the more you pile on donald trump and the media, the more emboldened and quite frankly popular he becomes. >> this is a new concept to evangelicals. they have been calling it the liberal media long before president trump came on the scene. ainsley: thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you so much, ainsley. ainsley: governor rick scott officially entering the senate race? florida. he is going to join us live

washington. we're going to change the direction and it's going to represent the citizens of this state. ainsley: governor, did the president urge to you run? >> he has talked in the past that he has always wanted me to run. but i have looked at this over the last couple years and i have decided that this is my next miss here what happens we do in this country send talkers to washington. i'm a deer. i hav gray up in public -- i grn washington. we changed the direction of the state by working our tails off. i'm going to do the same thing in washington, d.c. >> meantime bill nelson been there for a very long time. i know the republicans feel he is vulnerable because they have already started running some ads against him. the fact that he did not vote for the tax cuts, which are very popular with the majority of the country. listen to this, governor, here he is talking about how he doesn't care who his opponent is. >> i don't care who is an

opponent. i always take them seriously. and i run like there is no tomorrow. i think in this case a lot of differences between the two of us are going to come out in the course of the campaign. so, that's what i would say at this point. steve: there is the senator who currently has the job saying the differences between of two of us will come out during the course of the campaign. what's the number one thing that floridians need to know about the differences between you and bill nelson? if you think washington is heading in the right direction keep doing what you have been doing. we know washington hasn't been working for us. we have to have fresh useds and new ideas in there we have to got talkers out of there. we got to get doers in there. that's what i'm going to run on. specific policy proposals. the one i came out yesterday is term limits. this concept of career

politicians makes no sense in this country. we have term limits in florida for house and senate. clearly term limits in states for governors which they should. term limits for presidents. why don't we have term limits for congress? who doesn't want it? the politicians in d.c. don't want it. ainsley: how do you respond to the democrats that fought you for the budget cuts on you for the budget cuts on education and for flip flopping on medicaid? >> lock at where we are. i worked in with a 4 billion-dollar budget deficit. now because it turned our economy around, we dramatically increase funding k-12 education $4.5 billion analyzed. we have record funding for pretty much every program in the country. according to "u.s. news and world report" now we have the best education system in the country. $4 billion in the budget last year for the environment for agriculture. when you turn the economy around, you can invest. that's what we have done. brian: they say this will be one of the most expensive races in the entire country. where are you going to get your backing? are you going to write

checks from your own account? >> i'm going to go around the state and talk to everybody i can. checks from your own i have been doing that as >> i'm going to go around governor. i shook hands with probably 250 people a day. listen to their ideas. i'm going to get my message out by talking to them every day. we're going to win this race just like i won the two governors races by talking to people and solving their problems. steve: i know that while yesterday you did declare your candidacy for u.s. senate, it was the day before when you got some very bad news former press secretary jerry bustamonte was killed. i'm sure you want to say a few words. >> the most wonderful person. your heart goes out. you know, her goal long term she always wanted to be the president's press secretary. she wanted to be, you know, dana perino. she is not going to get to do that now. steve: a boating accident down in florida. governor rick scott, we thank you very much for joining us from down in the sunshine state today. ainsley: thank you, thoughts and prayers for your family. >> going to be a great day.

rio grand day river. in just minutes within going airborne, we were in hot >> all right. package cargo. >> information romeo. >> we have body traffic to the south here. going to be going to the river. >> in a matter of minutes, seconds. we're already on it. >> possibly a vehicle that's loaded up with either narcotics or just body traffic. we're not too sure. >> black suv. >> that truck pulled into the neighborhood back on the right. >> you can see that within seconds of we taking off, they crossed and were in two vehicles that quick and we weren't able to get them. so this is why 24-hour surveillance, especially when it comes to air operations needs to happen. >> what is the most stunning thing to see from this perspective is if you look out of this window, this is

the rio grande day river. and you see this road, they tell us that this is one of the most trafficked areas for narcotics because you can see you come across ankle deep water. and you are right on the road. it looks like there is crossing now. >> wow. whatever they brought over, now they are going back to get more. >> that's it. right now it's a hunt. and they can lay up. they can get under rocks, trees. they will wait it out for hours. nautical miles of the river. how much of this is that wall? wall? >> zero on this stuff. and this is just aor. this shuts down real quick when an aircraft gets here. >> within five hours that very crew, guys, seized 362 pounds of narcotics. it's amazing and that's why governor abbot is adding up to 1,000 more national guard in this sector. guys? brian: do you know who is

not? california, they don't see the drugs and illegals as a problem. interesting. steve: griff, the big probable right there is the fact that there are many spots in the rio grand river where you can walk across it. the fact that there is a road right there, gives them an easy escape route. >> that's exactly right. that's why seconds, i mean minutes and seconds matter because as soon as they get a camera, or a hit, and you put a helicopter up or a boat out, they he could are a be on that road and in to the interior of the u.s. 171 nautical miles that are very difficult to defend. steve: why don't they have a guard or border patrol right there at that road? they nobody everybody is coming in to get on that road. >> manpower issue. simple and plain. because you have over 170 miles that you have got to do it. really i asked them how much is that road that access? they said easily 35, 40 miles. guys, cocaine is up 20% in terms of come across the

border this quarter. tomorrow i'm going to take us a little deeper into this sector and give you more information out b. that and take you out on the boat and you will see how difficult it is to defend against it. even just putting boats on the river. short answer, manpower. ainsley: illegals will use straws or new york kel gear to go across. they can go underneath the water and still have their air. thank you so much for that we look forward to see you tomorrow. steve: good job. meanwhile, in the hot seat. mark zuckerberg is going to face congress today on capitol hill. senator chuck grassly will be co-chairing the event. he will tell us what he wants to hear from mr. facebook coming up. ainsley: and we are marching onto the mid terms. republicans are hoping that they can flip indiana senate seat in november. we will look at the issues that will decide that race coming up next. ♪ why don't you just meet me in the middle ♪ i'm losing my mind just a little. ♪

ainsley: all week long highlighting the important races leading up to the mid terms this noe. brian: we are breaking down the senate race in indiana where hope to unseat joe donnelly, the sitting senator. ainsley: here to break it down for us is the co-founder and publisher of real clear politics tom bevan. tom, thanks for joining us. >> you bet. ainsley: currently there is a democrat in office. democrat senator joe donnelly. accidental senator running against a republican who put his foot in his mouth, joe gets elected. who is he running against? there are three republicans, right? >> correct. ed to rekeita the current representative of the fourth congressional district leukemia messer who represents indiana's sixth congressional district and mike braun wealthy businessman with no political elected experience. brian: is there a sense of hot frontrunner is.

>> it depends on how talk to. leukemiluke messer is seen as a slight favorite. this is a legitimate three way race. that's one of the things that worries republicans is that this one has gotten pretty nasty. ed to rokita is bashing the other candidates as never trump lobbyist and obama voter. and his slogan is defeat the elite. so, it's getting kind of nasty. and that's one of the things that republicans fear might help joe donnelly a little bit is if this one stayed bloody. ainsley: primary is on may 8th. what are some of the issues at play here in that state? >> well, in the state for the general election, the general election, obviously it's the economy, and you remember joe donnelly voted against the tax cuts. and outside groups, republican groups have already spent $2 million in this state bashing him for that that will certainly be an issue. but also, remember back to the 2016 campaign. manufacturing, remember carrier was sending jobs to mexico. the tariffs and trade is going to be a big issue, also with farmers in indiana. and then obviously trump

himself. if the election becomes referendum on trump. indiana is obviously trump territory. he won it by 19 points in 2016. and the question is weather, you know, energized democrats can turn out the way they have in other states and give joe donnelly a chance there. brian: if they want to have more substantial margin they need this. in 2017, the president only has 1 point -- one point advantage in terms of the approval rating at 48%. that's down significantly in a year where it was 55%. why is it trending that direction? >> well, i think the president's approval rating overall has been down. and it went from 55 when he started to 48, which is not a huge drop. i mean, what is ha changed is he started with 33% disapproval. that's gone up to 47%. according to this urelg poll. democrats have never support you had the president, so they are obviously against him. he has lost some ground with independence in indian. that's where this race will be decided. brian: tom bevan, good job. >> thank you, guys.

ainsley: the fbi agents went into his house, his home, his hotel room and they raided him of his computers and personal account information. the president calls it disgraceful, an attack on our country. brian: we do know more this morning. they're looking at bank fraud. they're looking at wire fraud. they're looking at campaign finance violation and records with the stormy daniels situation. the lawyer says i have opportunity to get more face time on other channels. so he is moving that forward. they're looking perhaps at michael cohen and relationship with felix satter, who combined with president trump on a trump soho. he said he was link to a russia investment. they never pulled it off. it fell by the wayside but felix satter is cooperating with the mueller investigators. we don't snow what he was

saying. steve: it wasn't robert mueller's investigation that did the raid. they called the southern district of new york, in our russian investigation we would like some evidence that you would like to look into if you so choose. what we know so far, doesn't sound like this raid was related to russia at all but instead the number one topic seems to be bank fraud. in particular, the mr. cohen himself has admitted that he took out a home equity loan to the tune of $133,000 which he then gave stormy daniels. apparently the judge explained this to us, also in "politico" at this hour. if mr. cohen lied to the bank what he was going to use the money for, that could actually be bank fraud. there is a 30-year felony term with that. brian: unless he used a home equity line. home equity line, you can do whatever you want with it. steve: it depend whether he lied to the bank. then again if he, it could be

considered a in-kind contribution that could fly in the face of the federal election laws. there are a variety of topics the records seized could pertain to. don't really no. ainsley: he said he didn't violate election laws. the president is upset is blasting attorney general jeff sessions recusing himself, as a result, mueller's bff, rod rosenstein is in charge. mueller's team, there are a lot of democrats on his team, more democrats than republicans. they have given to democrats in the past, voted democratically. the president was talking about the raid resulting in investigators taking protected attorney/client communications because michael cohen is an attorney to a lot of individuals. when they go in, investigators start looking through his files and his computer, they might find out information about his clients. the president has a problem with that he

privilege is dead, a total witch-hunt. brian: people are saying to themselves, you're trying to look at russia collusion, obstruction perhaps, why are you knocking on the president's personal lawyer? well rod rosenstein when response asked, what are you doing over there? he said, keep in mind this memo that robert mueller asked for from me who appointed him. if you determine additional jurisdiction is necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve other matters assigned or investigate new matters you can go ahead and do that we have guy on unlimited budget sitting there hiring nine mostly democratic leaning attorneys out there desperately trying to find something the president had done wrong. to squeeze the president, they're trying to get his circle to feel pressure and turn state's witness. i guess pressure on michael cohen, you will probably go to jail with some of things that

have nothing to do with russia, how would you like to tell us more about the president to save jail time. a knock on the door at 5:00 in the morning is an attempt to intimidate. steve: here is the judge. >> his lawyer for many years and the lawyer for the trump organization and the lawyer for all the entities, owned, operated or controlled by the trump organization. so when the fbi seizes this stuff, they seize a lot of things that belong to other people, mainly the president. even though they're looking for bank fraud. if they indict him for bank fraud they will try to squeeze him what he knows about russian collusion which is their m.o. steve: the worry with all of these client files and business records, what will they be able to use in the case against michael cohen? well apparently the department of justice has done this kind of thing in the past although it is rare, they have something called the tank team come in. what they do sift through all the information. they try to figure out what is appropriate to give to the fbi to use in this case with the

u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. will it lead somehow to the mueller investigation? at this stage we don't know. we just know that mueller saw something. he said this is not my department. so they forwarded it to the u.s. attorney here in manhattan. ainsley: the judge said something interest. if jeff sessions stepped down, that the president could appoint someone else a new ag that would take over the investigation. steve: there would be a firestorm. brian: there would be if he fired him. ainsley: if he fired him there would be a firestorm, if jeff session is stepped down do you think he would be? steve: why would he quit today. brian: i want to run for senate seat this alabama, i owe it to my party. he is in his dream job, it is going so well, and doing so fantastic. seven minutes after the hour. john bolton had a heck of a first day. sat there seemed like forever as the president talked about anger and disappointment in the mueller probe. then things went to a national security crisis in syria. we have 2000 troops there.

for the 8th time there has been illegal gas, this time a chlorine gas attack inside of syria assumed to be perpetrated by bashar assad and retribution is coming. ainsley: president said this barsuglia rick act can not be allowed to take place and is not ruling out military action. listen to this. >> we're the greatest fighting force anywhere in the world, we make a decision what we do with respect to the horrible attack that was made near damascus. it will be met and it will be metaphors fully and when i will not say, i don't like to talk about timing. we can't let atrocities like we all witnessed, we can't let that happen in our world. we can't let that happen. especially when we're able to, because of the power of the united states, because of the power of our country, we're able

to stop it. steve: apparently the president of the united states was outraged by the images of the children and the the families struck by this gas attack be according to the pentagon, people talked to major media outlets, it has all the hallmarks of previous gas attacks from syria. that and some other intel they don't display all the cards out on the table. that's why they're pretty sure along with syria around their friend and iran and also putin. the president said yesterday everybody will have to pay for that. brian: not a lot of tree cover in the middle of the desert. i assume they saw it, they understand it. they all understand we're intercepting a lot of their communications. my sense it will not be 57 tomahawks. it will be f-22s. it will be substantial. if you hear lindsey graham, people watching closest, north korea. if they see there is retribution for their abhorrent acts and

u.s. is for real they will be more complia nt. ainsley: we will keep you posted. there was talk it could happen last night. we're also learning this morning that russia is jamming our drones? syria. they found a way to jam our time once again for news. you have big news out of china? >> good morning news we're following. breaking on trade tensions between the u.s. and china. china filing a complaint in the world trade orization against the u.s. claiming they breach international trade rules. president xi xinping promised to lower tariffs on auto imports that addresses one of president trump's concern. six people are dead after a

♪ brian: president trump blasting the fbi for raiding his attorney's office, who wouldn't, calling it quote, an attack on our country. our next guest warns it is all one big trap. steve: what kind of trap? let's talk to constitutional law professor jonathan turley who joins us from the nation's capitol. professor, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: looks as if they're going after michael cohen on bank fraud, unrelated to the russia investigation it seems but you say it is all about using him as bait, right? >> well that is the point of my hill column this morning the president has to be very careful. the greatest danger he faces is not michael cohen as defendant

but michael cohen as bait. the president was in fairly safe place 48 hours ago. he was following his attorney's advice. he was prepping for a negotiated, limited interview with mueller. suddenly this happens. and in many ways it could be as cunning as it is hostile on the part of rod rosenstein. he expanded the mandate for mueller to go after manafort on crimes that were far more remote than this. so why would he refer it to the southern district? steve: yeah. >> it has a real threat for the president. it expands the investigation, involves the southern district that can prosecute it. but if the president reacts aggressively, he could end up triggering a far more serious problem for himself and his presidency. brian: for one thing, why would rod rosenstein appointed by the president had to be this aggressive, this hostile, this obstinant? >> i think quite frankly the president laid himself open for this. for months some of us have been

saying he needed to sever his contacts with michael cohen who charitiably is not the most respected attorney in terms of his conduct. and he also needed to get out of the stormy daniels litigation. neither of those things have happened. the costs are mounting. now that doesn't mean that the president is wrong for being aggrieved about his attorney, being searched. that is always going to be something that is a fairly extreme step but the president needs to focus on the threat. the threat here is if he reacts badly. if he reacts aggressively and fires mueller i think he will magnify the dangers for himself and his presidency. ainsley: let's talk about loretta lynch. she was on yesterday with lester holt. in the interview she never wished that the former fbi director james comey would be fired around knew the tarmac meeting would raise eyebrows.

hillary's emails never came up. lesser asked her about the issue between matter and investigation. listen what she said. >> he wants to call it the clinton matter, he wanted to call it the clinton investigation. that it bothered him did he do go to you regarding your credibility in the clinton case. >> we talked about the issues. we had a full and open discussion about it. >> he didn't raise any concerns? >> concerns were not raised. brian: comey lied, because he said he did raise concerns that he was so moved he had to go get after the tarmac meeting he had to make his little announcement. so who is telling the truth? >> this is not good for a book tour. steve: right. >> the book is portraying him as the stalwart soul who fought the good fight against bad odds. in reality this is not just the first contradiction for comey.

you know, mccabe also contradicted comey. mccabe said comey knew about the supposed leak to the "wall street journal." so these are a lot of contradictions that don't help when you're trying to sell books. steve: no kidding. democrats hate him because what he did to hillary. republicans hate him because what he did to trump. who will buy the book? we'll see? brian: inspector general might be interested in getting to the truth, right? >> that's right. that torpedo is still in the water. steve: thank you very much, jonathan turley. talked about bait today and torpedoes in the water. wide-ranging. brian: the other big story today is facebook. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg got grilled. will be getting grilled on capitol hill we think. he had a series of meetings yesterday. senator chuck grassley will co-chair the hearings and ask us what questions he will ask next. steve: we're getting a exclusive look at our troops in action. griff jenkens takes us for a

her treatment but a significant milestone. ainsley: russia is deny anything involvement. steve? >> steve: thank you, ainsley. ceo of facebook mark zuckerberg made an appearance on capitol hill. he met with key lawmakers ahead after joint hearing between the senate judiciary and commerce committee that commences at 2:00. what was discussed and what can we expect from his testimony? let's talk to iowa senator chuck grassley, the chairman of the senate judiciary committee. he met with mark zuckerberg yesterday. he joins us live from the capitol. senator, what did mr. zuckerberg say yesterday regarding his testimony today? >> the half hour meeting we had was basically about the process of these two committees would conduct it, so we would inform him a ahead of time. he told us a little bit probably what is in his written statement that was released yesterday. how he was going to approach the

hearing. and how he was going to answer questions and, i think, remorseful approach that probably, he didn't do his due diligence over the last few years of protecting people's privacy, as facebook happened or promised. >> sure. >> beyond that we didn't have much other discussion or process or substance. steve: he seemed a little freaked out. he is getting called over the carpet on the fact that facebook laid bare millions of people's privacy, private facts all across the internet. >> yeah. this brings into focus the sharp realization of 87 million people of what facebook can let the world know about you if they don't do their due diligence and protect that privacy. and who people go into it, with the understanding of some privacy, and then of course, they're warned about it. but in a very obscure way

through fine print and other things. so this brings up what can we do either through legislation, regulation or better yet if the company's will do it themselves to make sure people know about their restrictions that they have on privacy and are they going -- once they have good rules, are they going to abide by those rules because quite frankly they presume they had the rules but they didn't enforce them. steve: sure. senator, looks like this whole scandal involving cambridge analytica prompted this when it was revealed tens of millions of people's information was scraped by that company and then somehow wound up being used by the trump campaign but i understand this particular, that particular ploy, the internet ploy, has been used, it was used by the obama team back a couple of years ago. so it is nothing new? >> that's right. i think that they bragged about

similar access to this information for the 2012 re-election of obama and then don't forget cambridge analytica tapped into facebook and got this information probably a year before there was even a trump candidacy. i hope we don't get down in the weeds about the election because this is more about privacy and all the data that this company collects about people and the protection of that data and the protection of privacy. i, that ought to be our main focus. steve: has the senior senator from iowa and i'm from iowa as

well, and covered your first senate run back in the day, i know you're also interested in protecting farmers and some. comments the president made by potential tariffs has a lot of farmers freaked out. year. so it sounds like the president who has been kind of negotiating through the press with the chinese. sounds like that's win for us? >> well, if we can get china to do what they ought to do and i'm one of the few senators in the senate voted for them to be in the wto, you did this so they would live by rules of international trade. so they're the second biggest economy in the world. we're the first biggest. you would think anything they expect to do in our country we ought to be able to do in their country. that is a level playing field. i was one of five senators that went over there couple weeks ago on a trade mission visiting with the communist leaders, quite frankly i came away with a conviction they will do anything ethically or unethically, morally or immorally, legally or illegally even violating their

own laws to get ahead of the united states and get all help from the high-tech industries from our country. like, for instance, stealing our trade secrets. steve: which they do each and every day. it will be interesting to see what happens. chuck grassley, senator from the great state of iowa. thanks for joining us live. >> thank you. steve: you bet. 8:30 in new york city. hundreds of extra national guard troops are deployed to the southern border including more than 200 from arizona. coming up, governor doug ducey says this shouldn't be a partisan issue. he is coming up live next. our new friend and new mom, anna kooiman, she is in the green room with jd and baby brook. ♪ he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain

steve: well the president ordered up the national guard last week. and now the national guard actually securing our border. we're getting exclusive look at the troops in action over the rio grand valley. ainsley: griff jenkins went on a fly-along mission on our southern border and joins us at laredo. hey, griff. reporter: good morning. amazing how well the national guard and cpb are working to provide eyes in the sky and we got a first-hand look with them over the very porous border sector in laredo. take a look. >> all right, package and cargo. 299 information, romeo. reporter: we have body traffic to the south. we'll go directly to the river. it was just a matter of minutes, seconds, we got up in the air already on it. >> we're already on it. >> possibly a vehicle loaded up

with either narcotics or just body traffic. we're not too sure. black suv. >> that truck pulled into the neighborhood on the right. reporter: you can see within seconds of us taking off they crossed and were in two vehicles that quick. we weren't able to get them. this is why 24 hour surveillance, especially when it comes to air operations needs to happen. what is the most stunning thing to see from this perspective, if you look out at this window, this is the rio grande river. you see this road. they tell us this is one of the most trafficked areas for narcotics because you can see, you come across ankle-deepwater. you are right on the road. looks likes they're crossing now. now they're going back to get more. >> that's it. right now it is a hunt and they can lay up. they can get under rocks, trees, and they will wait it out for

hours. reporter: you have 171 nautical miles of the river, how much is wall? >> zero in this alr this, sector. things shut down real quick when an aircraft gets here. reporter: five hours late they're same crew seized 362-pounds of narcotics. the border patrol behind me has gotten very interested in something. governor greg abbott added more than 1000 guardsmen to the border. as well as arizona. the governor there, doug ducey, adding more than 300 guardsmen. that story will continue to grow today, guys. steve: it is indeed. griff, thank you very much. you just mentioned arizona governor doug ducey, no relation to this doocy. he joins us from arizona. >> good morning. thanks for having me. steve: you say now that the president ordered up to 4,000 national guardsmen to guard our

southern border this should not be a partisan issue? >> well it is not a partisan issue. this is all about public safety. we're talking about securing our border and stopping the flow of illegal drugs and human trafficking at the border. that is what a governor does. their first responsibility is to protect the public. make sure there is border security. i'm thankful we have an administration that sees it the same way. ainsley: what is your role in this? how many are you sending down to the border? >> my role is to deploy the national guard. we were working with 225 called up yesterday. we'll call up another 113 today. we're working directly with secretary nielsen, director of homeland security and our general of the national guard and department of public safety, frank millsted. we had a border strike force we had for last couple years because washington was not addressing the issue. today thankfully they are.

brian: governor, the key is ultimately not having to deploy the national guard. a lot of people think putting a permanent barrier would work. if i could give you a permanent barrier, what would it look like, how many miles you need? >> we have 379 miles of border in arizona. about 2/3 has a physical barrier. brian: is it good enough that physical barrier. >> not good enough in many places it is wide open and unprotected. putting national guard in support of the border patrol is a good idea. but to secure the border. to stop illegal drugs, to stop the human trafficking we're going to need technology, we're going to need technology, that fiscal barrier, we'll need a wall in different place, boots on the ground and people there observing with cameras. so we can stop this flow of illegal traffic that is coming into our state, into our country. ainsley: when you became governor, was that surprised you the most in your state, that

only 1/3 has a barrier? >> 2/3 has a barrier. i say biggest surprise to me, going down to the border, working with ranchers, around seeing how wide open and unprotected our border was. how much it was ignored and neglected in the previous administration. there has been some consistency in this administration. it is definitely getting attention and it is part of the reason we've been able to drive the number of illegal flow down but it surged dramatically in march. there is action being taken immediately. steve: governor, you said this should not be a partisan issue when it comes to ordering up the national guard to secure our southern border. then you have the governor of your next door state, california, jerry brown up in sacramento, he hasn't decided whether or not this is a good idea. >> well we do things a lot different than jerry brown does here in arizona. we think that this flow of drugs and human trafficking is something that we want to stop. we want to keep our state safe

and secure for the arizonans that live here. i was on a conference call with governor brown. it was very productive. it sounded like he would be cooperative but he has to make these decisions. steve: what do you mean cooperative? >> it was a good discussion. it was myself, governor brown, governor abbott, governor martinez. the discussion with secretary nielsen what the situation was at the border and how the national guard could help. brian: but he hasn't done anything. what is the problem? >> this sounds like a question for governor brown. ainsley: did he say he would send troops down to his border? >> he would consider it. each governor is leaders from his state. ainsley: your state blocked colleges from offering scholarships to dreamers. >> they didn't block it. it was the law of the land. the supreme court made the decision that was the law. the onus is back on regents how to resolve this issue.

steve: how can you get in-state tuition if you're in the country illegally? that is head scratcher. ainsley: thanks, governor. happy birthday. >> it was yesterday. thank you very. steve: governor ducey. the economy is booming in the state of nebraska. more residents working and fewer people in the unicameral cornhusker state. what is their secret? that report coming up next. ainsley: our friend and new mom anna kooiman is coming up next. reading janice's book. steve: sleeping through the book. ♪ feel the clarity of

all cylinders. more people are actually working and fewer people on food stamps in that state. so what is the secret there? brian: that is a pretty good combination. our next guest says the governor pete rick kerts focused on reepemployment instead of unemployment who to allow the state with the lowest up employment rate in two decades. >> writes all about nebraska's success in a new foxnews.com op-ed and he joins us right now. good morning to you. thanks for being with us. what are they doing in nebraska? how are they seeing the success? >> nebraska has not discovered some secret formula. what they did was simply make work a priority. they know if you pay people not to work, then they won't. so what governor ricketts did he realizes if you want to win the war on poverty, you have to end the war on work. brian: for example, if you are on food stamps, no one wants to be on food stamps, you want to help people get off it, how? are you doing training?

>> exactly. basically they did two things. first you have to work for welfare. and then secondly, they made it easier to get a job by eliminating barriers to work. ainsley: are there any exceptions? >> there are. there are he exceptions for individuals with disabilities, elderly the children. we're focused on able-bodied adults. brian: what is interesting too, when you put a work aspect to welfare you make contacts, no matter what that job, you get out, you get into a more of a routine, makes you more open to possibly getting that job or changing that career but you also demand people go out to look for a job. how do you follow up with that? >> well, i think first we recognize that there are 6 million open jobs right now across america. so they will literally never be a better sometime to move millions from welfare to work. but what you need to do is have a work requirement that says to individuals on welfare, it is time to get back to work. we'll help you get there.

ainsley: what is his approval rating in nebraska? are peep liking him there because of all of this? >> his approval rating like a lot of governors is middle of the road but i think people like to work and like to get a paycheck and people recognize if we're going to keep this economy going then we have to move unless of americans on the sidelines today and get them back to work. brian: absolutely. ta. arren, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. ainsley: our friend and new mama anna kooiman is back with her new baby, his name is brooks. they will join us on the cough very couch. brian: let's go to a grown. sandra smith. has her own show. ainsley: she is also a mama. >> i am. welcome to anna and beautiful baby there. we're awaiting a u.n. security council vote on syria. a decision could come any moment. the president plans to respond forcefully. general jack keane here on what that may look like and when something may happen.
