brian: got on the internet to find any knew thrill plan with grilled cheese and bacon on it. ainsley: it doesn't exist. steve: bacon is okay for you. i'm reading new book. number one book in the world now called food what to heat by dr. highman out of the cleveland clinic. he says bacon every day is not going to hurt you. ainsley: like wine and coffee, it's good for you one week. the next week we do a news story that says it's not good for you. steve: turns out they will make a 50 or 60-pound grilled cheese sand witch. stay tuned. what a show. brian: by all accounts more massive and substantial than the one a year ago when 59 tomahawks ransd down on syria after saturday's gas attack killed 40 and sent hundreds to the hospital. president tweeted russia vows to shoot down all missiles. they will be nice new and smart. i was shocked to find out

defense secretary mattis at least tells us he was sure syria did it which was astounding because other people said they were sure. and we had eyes on them the entire time. ainsley: reporter said do we have enough evidence to know this was syria? listen to his response. [inaudible] >> we are still assessing the intelligence ourselves and our allies. we are still working on this. >> is the u.s. military now strike if ordered? >> we stand ready to provide military options if they're appropriate as the president determined. but thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. >> you're welcome. >> ainsley: he wanted to end it there. steve: he says they are ready, trying to figure out who did it. there are these stories out there. you know, have you got to figure some of it could be russian propaganda: "newsweek," no print

addition anymore. apparently this group called the white helmets which used to be the syrian defense organization. there are stories that they staged bodies to make it look like there was a gas attack. meanwhile, have you got russian media saying we sent investigators in. our military did, and they could not find any traces of any toxins or gas on any of the bodies. brian: russians are so reputable and they have always told the truth in the past and those child actors with those gas masks probably ought to be up for oscars. ainsley: 2 years old and 3 years old, actors in diapers. our president was tweeting missiles are on the way, get ready, russia. russia is apparently tracking our ships. because we deployed at least one ship. and there was one already there in the region. russia is tracking our ships. they were seen removing 11 of their ships off of the coast of syria. i don't know if that was to get their ships out of the way or to get in place so they can shoot down our missiles if we shoot them.

steve: they know something is coming because the president yesterday eliminated the element of surprise. nonetheless, there are these stories from russia, hey, syria didn't do it. just know that because if you shoot something at us, united states, we're going to shoot your stuff down. sarah sanders says all the options are still on that table. >> the president has a number of options at his disposal and all of those options real estate main on the table and we are continuing to look at each one of them. the president holds syria and russia responsible for this chemical weapons attack. russia has proven themselves to be responsible in part for this. they guaranteed that the use of chemical weapons by syria would not happen again. they failed at that they have also helped enable syria by vetoing 6 different u.n. resolutions that have helped protect assad. so, they are certainly hold some responsibility in this. and certainly have proven themselves to be bad actors in this process.

brian: when president obama said -- got off his prepared remarks and said if you cross the red line using chemical or biological weapons, that's a red line for us. didn't act. had a plan, took a walk around the white house. changed his mind. went golfing. the devastation on our foreign policy and still recovering from. this president at this moment has credibility. if he takes a backwards step now and doesn't follow through, i don't care how long it takes, we will almost never recover as long as he is in office. if you talk to the chairman of foreig foreign relations bob corker, general jack keane and lindsey graham. they have the evidence. they know it's there. there is a sense that the russians want this fight and that we are backing off because we wonder if this is a somewhat of a plot to hook us in. i say we're a super power. we have a responsibility to act like that and when we say we're going to do something, everything is on

the line if we don't do it. the president will never recover from this internationally. steve: but, can you imagine if they didn't actually do it? so it does. brian: why would he tweet that out. steve: i'm getting information from the state department we have intel that shows that syria was somehow involved. nonetheless, they are making sure that it's going to happen. right now the general consensus that the pentagon is going to be one strike. there are going to be a number of targets. they had thought about a three or four day deal. that's out. looks like the united kingdom, france, and the united states will be all together on the attack when it happens. brian: the u.k. has not commit. theresa may is wavering. ainsley: calling a cabinet meeting today. brian: she does not have the support if you listened to nigel farage last night. one in four, concerned about popularity. support something like this. single strike means no strike. 59 tomahawks last year got eight more attacks this year. what is another single

strike going to do? steve: that's what the pentagon is thinking right now just reporting the facts. the attorney general for the united states jeff sessions at the texas border coalition am spring meeting. they had 31 pedestrians of 31 different departments around the table where he was talking and essentially he made it very clear there are changes in the immigration system and they're going to start talking no tolerance, zero releases, and 100 percent prosecution. why? new leadership. listen. >> with president trump, we have a new era of support for law enforcement, like we haven't seen in many years. you might even say we've got a new sheriff in town. we are working to take criminals off the streets by restoring the rule of law and really protecting and fixing our immigration system. so we're going to step up our efforts to achieve zero tolerance and zero releases

and 100 percent prosecution. steve: that's what people want to hear. ainsley: he says to all of them, i know you have challenges and i'm here to try to fix these. i know you have limited resources. you have manpower needs. you need more beds and equipment needed and you are facing a lot of violence. he says i'm here to support you. california is -- they have responded. we saw new mexico, arizona and texas put more of the guardsmen on the border when the president said he was sending them in. guess what? governor jerry brown of california has said i am now going to comply and i'm sending 400 additional guardsmen down to the border. steve: but, there is a buy but. brian: that's a great move for governor brown to do. this i actually think he had very little choice, especially momentum build against the sanctuary state. he goes on to clarify why he's doing it he said let's be clear on the scope of the mission. this will not be a mission to build a new wall or round up women or children or

detain people seeking escaping violence and seeking a better life. enforce immigration laws. that's a huge but. what he does not understanding there is illegal immigration. there is legal and illegal. there is a way for refugees to get in our country. the way can't be sneaking in, just walking across our border. why would anyone do it the right way if he is encouraging the wrong way? steve: here's the thing. the president made it clear i'm seconding up to 4,000 national guard to help down at the border. jerry brown says i will take 400 and i will put them throughout the state. you know what? that doesn't count. california should not get the money to fund the national guard for those 400 personnel if it's not going to be in some measure regarding border security. ainsley: i wonder if jerry brown is starting to say so many cities now in my state don't want to be a sanctuary state. you had two more yesterday that voted because they are -- they're going to attach themselves to the doj

lawsuit. because they are saying we don't want to be a sanctuary state. maybe he is listening to his constituents saying maybe i got it whole idea is to assist with border security. that's not going to work. brian: president probably had the right to put them there himself and tell the national guard you go report but it didn't come to that 11 minutes after the hour. unless jillian wants to strike she has to read the news right now. jillian: i don't want to strike. will it's going to be 80 degrees tomorrow -- i'm just kidding. the resistance to sanctuary cities growing in california. the city of westminster voting overnight to support a federal lawsuit against the state. the sanctuary city's law cooperating with authorities. joins 8 other orange county cities that started the

supporting president donald j. trump? brian: his response and what diamond and silk are saying now just ahead. steve: new way to see you lens conservatives on campus, call them hate groups. ♪

♪ steve: we've got a fox news alert because the president just tweeted about our next subject. never said when an attack on syria would take place, could be very soon or not so soon at all. in any event, the united states, under my

administration, has done a great job of riding the region of isis. where is our thank you, america? joining us now is the policy advisor for the syrian campaign keenan ramani. good morning. >> good morning. thank you. receive steve you like that the president of the united states is talking tough and it looks fast there will be a strike on syria. >> i absolutely support president trump in his promise for a military action. in response to this heinous war crime. women and children were gassed to death while they were being starved by the assad regime. president obama completely blew it in 2001 which assad killed 4,000 people, 400 children. president obama did nothing. signing a deal with russia. allowing a iran deal allowing it to go through. collusion is working with russia to allow syrians to

be gassed to death. we need to stand up for syrians not only facing chemical weapons, barrel bombs. being burned to death and their bodies being burned in cream torians. this is holocaust remembrance day and 14r50u8 imperative when we say never again we really mean it. president trump, we urge you to please follow through on your commitment to hold assad and russia accountable for these heinous war crimes. steve: um-huh. of course, he is making it clear with this morning's tweet, keenan, that that is his intention. we were also talking about how there are all these internet conspiracies and russians are saying we didn't do it, and there is probably an activist group that staged it, what do you think about that stuff? >> this is all classic russian propaganda, we should not listen to any of this. we have the photos. we have the videos. cylinders dropped on top of civilians. i know that the president is

reviewing all of this evidence. the evidence is very clear. what the president needs to do is to make sure that russia doesn't get away with this. that assad doesn't get away with this. there needs to be a response. there needs to be the complete grounding of the regime's air force immediately as quickly as possible. and the regime is trying to move all of its assets out of the way so that the president can hit those. and russia is trying to make threats against the united states of america. we should not be thwarted by this bluster from the regime and from russia. we need to make sure that these warplanes that are dropping chemical weapons and barrel bombs on civilians are stopped from being able to do so. i trust president trump can do that. steve: all right. and i think he thinks, given the nature of that tweet, that he can do it as well. thank you very much for joining us live from our nation's capital. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, on this thursday, the heads of the consumer financial protection bureau under fire, mick mulvaney's crime,

thankfully, no one was hurt. brian? brian: house speak paul ryan revealing he won't be re-election. political bombshell is raising questions about what this means for republicans in the midterm elections. help or hurt? here to debate it democratic strategist calloway and matt schlapp who has a very famous wife. matt, real quick, you are say the speaker of the house never liked politics, was uncomfortable with the president. even though they had dinner last night. so this makes sense to you? >> yeah, it does. look, i think there has been a lot of political change in politics. and the speaker has been uncomfortable with aspects of it. the biggest part that he has been uncomfortable with in being the speaker of the house look, he is just not a guy who loves politics. he doesn't like bathe in politics. he loves public policy. he loves passing that tax bill. that's the valid victory of his time as speaker. is he being honest with the american people look, i have done the job i wanted to do and i want to move on.

good for him for coming to that conclusion. brian: when john mccain went thumbs down, that killed his ideal which would have been entitlement reform. he wanted to start there. your thoughts? >> well, paul ryan is a budget guy and he is a tax guy so ultimately agree with matt that the victory of his career even more so than entitlement reform has always been reforming our tax code for the first time since 1986. i don't agree with everything that happened in the tax bill but it is amajor accomplishment for his leadership. matt is right when he said paul didn't want to be speaker. what else he didn't want to be was minority leader. they see that blue wave is come and he wants no part of that i commend him however for doing the right thing and stepping aside now as opposed to running for another term and stepping aside once the minority was confirmed. >> let me counter that the person who might be the most disappointed person in washington is nancy pelosi. you know, people talk about donald trump's numbers, which are improving and much better than get reported. the politician with the

worse numbers in the last 20 years of politics is nancy pelosi. do you know what the focus is on? 100 percent around this country as we get closer and closer to november is the nancy pelosi agenda which is not going to help anybody in this country. brian: two things we hear, don. if you bring up nancy pelosi, republicans like that. if you bring up impeachment believe it or not republicans like that. the american people don't want to hear that. do you agree? >> this is a midterm election. midterm elections are not about the house minority leader. the midterm elections are about a referendum particularly on the president. that is what history tells us. we can always say that nancy pelosi is unpopular. whether or not that's true, i'm sure republicans will run on it this will be a referendum on donald trump. nancy pelosi doesn't really care whether or not paul ryan is speaker because this is a referendum on trump and, again, not only 39 republicans, which is a record in republican defections but who else matt schlapp his job to rally conservative troops. the blue wave is coming with

or without nancy pelosi. brian: you seem to be right when it comes to momentum. the generic poll had the democrat's lead shrink to 3 yesterday. i was surprised by that comaft, the big picture, what is the additional fallout? some say after this they pull the plug, a lot of other republicans retire. do you foresee that? >> first of all, it's okay for politicians who don't feel the energy to run again to quit. i would rather them quit than run a half hearted race there are a lot of republicans who are resigning. i'm okay with bringing in fresh legs into the political scene and the third point is that if this is a referendum on donald trump, it will be a referendum on the trump economy. why do you see those generic ballot numbers, brian, getting better for the republicans? it's because people feel secure. they feel more economic security and feel like president trump is projecting strength overseas, whether it's syria or whether it's china or whether it's russia. that's what this race will come down to. brian: i have news for you. kevin mccarthy coming up.

we will ask him. most likely good friends with the president and most likely be the next speaker. i believe the president cannot say i projected strength if he now backs out of showing strength in syria after what he said yesterday. >> i would agree with that i don't necessarily see his tweet as a backing out. his tweet is a very real response to the criticism that he was telegraphing military activity and he is still saying i'm going to do something, i'm just not telling you when it is. i support the president's action on syria. i think we should have taken bashar al assad out long ago. i don't like tweeting about it. it's unpresidential but i'm sure assad needs to go. brian: final thoughts, matt? >> in so many ways barack obama did not keep us safe. and i think this election is gonna come down to just one word. do you feel secure as an american? do you feel like have you greater economic security and do you feel like you are safer because of the trump policies? that's why i think the republicans will be in good shape and pick up senate seats for sure. brian: if we could all get along this way this country

would be a better place. thanks so much. crumbs didn't work. democrats in many cases are shaming people who got bonuses from the president's tax cuts. >> remember that is not free money. it's coming with a cost of driving up our debt. brian: there is more whereby that came from. and it's boy versus soccer ball. the adorable video that comes with a life lesson. that story coming up. ♪ and now, you can too. see for yourself why chevrolet is the most awarded and fastest growing brand the last four years overall. get a total value of over eleven thousand five hundred dollars on this silverado all star when you finance with gm financial. find new roads at your local chevy dealer.

them up now or it will get really complicated starting tomorrow night and we have to take all the steps necessary in order to get the document. we have a plan -- and impeach. steve: that was tuesday night. that ultimatum finally got some results the fbi and the tempt of justice finally let the house intel chairman kick off the russia probe. at least two pages of it. brian: here to react is fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. what do you think they saw? >> if they saw two pages they saw a summary or they saw the first page and last page. i haven't seen it i assure you the application to the fisa court was not two pages. it's more like between 75 and 100 pages. i'm guessing from similar applications that i have seen in my work. but as we were saying during the break it's getting very serious, brian, this conflict between a republican congress and a republican managed department of justice and the president of the united states should pick up that

telephone and resolve this. steve: right. >> the last time we had a dispute like this it was over fast and furious and a republican house of representatives held a democratic attorney general acre eric holder in contempt. what happened as a result of contempt? nothing. they didn't even get the documents. because they don't pursue these things. congress, not just devin nunes' committee, the house of representatives should subpoena a person, chris wray, jeff sessions, whoever has control over the whole thing. and if that person doesn't produce the documents, that person should be held in contempt. steve: it seems, judge, as if the attorney general of the united states is not acting in the president's best interest or in the best interest of congress' opportunity and right to see what's in all these documents. >> there must be some conflict by which i mean he must see something in there that he believes would be harmful for the public to see. now, there are statutes that regulate. you had john lausch on yesterday.

that's the u.s. attorney who has been cam man deered to leave chicago to come and run this. putting a u.s. attorney in charge of a document production is like putting an orthopedic surgeon in charge of clipping fingernails. steve: it's window dressing. >> yes. ainsley: meaning anyone can do it. >> no. i'm a fan of john lausch's meaning anyone can do it. category of documents they can't release. they can't release the name of confidential informants. steve: grand jury. >> what they gave to a grand jury that's against the statute. these things are not judgments the doj makes. these are laws that the doj has to comply with. i don't think congress is serious about wanting these documents. it wouldn't be taking 14 months. ainsley: nunes wanted documents -- he wanted to see why the fisa court agreed to allow trump's campaign to be pur surveilled. is he going to be happy.

anything, it's going to be almost impossible to recover our credibility. steve: i like the fact that the president isn't just saying it happened yesterday i'm going to start bombing things. they are making sure things are as they do appear. you know, there are the stories out there, russia saying, look, syria didn't do it. there is that activist grope called white helmet. they staged it to make syria look bad so the united states would do it. that's why russia has partnered up with syria, as they have for years and said look, if the united states attacks them, we will blow every one of their missiles out of the sky. brian: it's about time russia understands hot super power is. they act like 22,000-ton gorilla, they are not. 30 planes there. they enabled this thug to kill over 200,000 people and keep him in people along with iran. they did this. they also did eight prior ones. there is enough evidence, the president is already on the record, he has got to do something. ainsley: we have sent ships that way.

russia says they are tracking our ships and they pulled out 11 russian ships that were seen in the syria area. meanwhile the president said that the speaker is truly a good man. when the speaker said yesterday, speaker paul ryan, i'm not going to seek re-election. steve: that's right. paul ryan, the 54th speaker of the house of representatives, said he is not running for re-election. why? well, he made it very clear. you know, he has never been at his house with his children growing up except on the weekends he said look, i want to do that. to some observers though it does look like maybe he sees that blue wave coming. he is trying to get out when he can. maybe he wants to run for president in 2024. whatever the reason. he is out as of january and a bunch of republicans are talking about who might replace him in the leadership. ainsley: larry kudlow says hold on a minute. everyone take a breath. listen. >> i would say to people who think there is a democratic

landslide on the way just hold your horses. let's see how this turns out. economic growth and jobs and wages are very popular issues. and the people who are saying it's going to be a republican catastrophe in november are people who have opposed our tax cuts, do not believe we can have better economic growth or help jobs and productivity. let's see how that works out. brian: i think it's important to know at the very least, you know that the reason why the speaker was put in that place, he never wanted it he is not necessarily somebody to rangle people like other strong speakers in the past. what he is, he has got a lot of credibility. he has looked up to. people understanding how bright he is. he also was savvy enough to know he is not going to get rolled by nancy pelosi. loot of people feel that's the greatest quality of the next pirik is to be somebody who is politically savvy, likes the infighting more than the speaker did. ainsley: a timing issue. if i don't get out now, then i am going to have to wait until after the mid terms.

far enough away from the mid terms he can lead. steve: he is going to lead through the midterm election, stay in his office. brian: would he be a minority leader? no. even if i did keep this job, it's hard enough wrapping gling with the 23 or 24-person majority. the freedom caucus is 25 members. a lot of times they go against him because the frawx disagrees with anybody with the moderates. he goes how could i possibly get anything done if i have even a smaller margin. steve: right. you know what? he is going out on high note. they just got the tax cut bill which he loves. then again, there is the omnibus which was way too much spending. kevin mccarthy, house majority leader right now, he has been suggested along with steve scalise as perhaps a replacement for the speaker. is he going to be joining brian in a half an hour. brian to your point about the house freedom caucus, mr. mccarthy who rumors have been floating around for months that speaker ryan was going to be leaving. mccarty has been courting

the house freedom caucus and what he has talked about essentially is pushing back on the billions from the omnibus. he has also been talking to the house freedom caucus about maybe an investigation into hillary clinton and also the balanced budget amendment even though it can't get through the entire congress, at least the house freedom caucus would like to seat house on the record. mr. mccarthy is courting the house freedom caucus, which, if you are going to be speaker, you have got to do that. brian: big story on sunday is going to be the 2020 special as james comey sits down for the first time. bret baier third with george stephanopoulos. at which time the reports are suspects to riveting they have trouble jamming into one hour. good thing to say. steve: good tease. brian: it's a good tease. evidently, james comey makes the unfortunate phrase and actually equates this president to a mob boss. >> how strange is it for you to sit here and compare the president to a mob boss? things you know but haven't

said that could damage president trump? and those who say you should have brought hillary clinton before a grand jury. should donald trump be impeached? steve: i heard more from george than i heard from him. ainsley: that's what i thought. when i saw the whole promo run it was george's questions. i would have at least heard one sentence. steve: if he is equating him to a mob boss. name of his book "higher loyalty" famously president trump asked if i was going to be loyal to him. maybe that's et connection rights there. axios has a summary of some of the things that were said. according to one source who was at the taping at comey's house a couple of days ago, mr. comey is going to, quote: shock the president and his team. we don't know what that means but that's in thirties. ainsley: equating the president to a mob boss. did you watch sean

hannity's. all the mob bosses and killed. steve: all the bodies are purr idea. brian: loretta lynch had to get her story out first over the last week. looks like comey is going to contradict her. including somebody is lying. mccabe's story doesn't line up with comey's. hopefully bret baier will be able to bring in something like that. steve: unlike a lot of books, nobody has seen this book. there is a hard embargo on it. nobody has seen the book. it goes on sale on tuesday. i'm sure the people at abc got to look at it just before the interview. ainsley: are you going to read it and watch that interview? steve: i will watch the interview. brian: i remember when madonna wrote her book, she wrapped it, i think cellophane, if you broke the wrapper she knew you head had ahead of time. jillian: i will take your word for it. brian: at one time a very successful singer. jillian: get you caught up on the news here. resistance to sanctuary cities growing in

to look at is getting our coalition forces, ground forces, armored artillery that eventually we might need to go in there and put forces on the euphrates river and point them towards damascus. brian: get the saudis, get qatar, get uae and put them on the ground. the iranians aren't going to like that, russians aren't going to like that. what are your thoughts? >> absolutely. i think the crowned prince was just here. he asked president trump do not leave syria. i would turn right back around and tell the crowned prince okay i won't leave syria but i need some of your ground forces. the saudis have a large military and a very prominent armored aspect. brian: colonel, you think we can't leave and you think we have to strike. take a look at this' that. you have a monitor there. this has been estimated possible strike spot. they have about six military bases there. the russians have, i believe, one and about between 30 and 40 planes.

as you look there, what what could you tell our viewers about what we might be up against? >> i can't see the monitor in front of us. here is what i do know. strike any russian aspects. you know, we are going to look at those syrian pieces. you know, we are in talks continuously with the russians. you know, we are not going to do that. i don't believe the russians are going to shoot an american airplane out of the sky. but i also believe if we put an air strike in, this air strike should be a coalition air strike. again, saudi aircraft. iraqi aircraft. they have the f-16s. i believe a coalition air strike would be a great response to this assad atrocity. brian: i love the president's tweet yesterday russia vowed to shoot down any of our missiles fired at us. get ready, russia, they will be coming nice, new and smart. thanks so much. i know it's not easy. i know there is risks. the world has got to know using these gases and

advice for some of those so-called snowflakes about to enter the workforce and may be actually working next to you. the author of "what's wrong with damn near everything" larry winget the pit bull of personal development joins us with tips. larry, a lot of these college students graduating, coming up very shortly, they are used to the safe spaces on campus. what happens when they are in an office pod with a lot of people who are familiar with how safe spaces work? >> well, hopefully they get a rude awakening. we are not really seeing that know. what we are seeing is a lot of businesses are starting to cater to the demands and the wants and desires and dreams of all these snowflakes that are graduating from college. and that needs to stop. they need to be told that businesses should cater to customers. and not to the employees. you see, they spent the first 20 years or so of their lives being told that they're special. their parents told them that then the school told them

that and now they are going in to business and guess what? you are not special anymore. you are an employee. ainsley: they need. >> get to work. >> ainsley: customer is always right. remember your dad telling you that not the snowflakes. what are your tips for these snowflakes that are graduating? >> first of all, sort of the main number one basic, be on time. you are paid to be on time but mostly when you are not on time, you need to understand that's a real show of disrespect. you're disrespecting your job, your paycheck, your employer your co-workers. your commerce. brian: you say when you are at work, make sure you work and try to get something done. >> you know, 25% of employees these days we are told by most studies are doing personal things when they are at work. every not paid to do your personal things. when you are at work, work. if you are doing 25 percent of your time on your personal stuff, you are stealing your wages. steve: speaking of personal stuff, you say business email takes priority over

social media. >> businesses communicate with their customers and with each other on email. most studies also tell us that these people are not good at email. they tweet, they snapchat. and they use instagram. but that's not how businesses communicate. you have got to answer your email. that's your number one priority. ainsley: larry, you say you are owed a paycheck in exchange for your effort and nothing more. >> nothing more. what a surprise. no business can make sure that no one is ever going to hurt your feelings. there aren't any safe spaces at manufacturing plant or wherever it is that you work. you are going to have to toughen up. you are owed your paycheck. that's your right. you do not have a right to get your feelings hurt. brian: larry, the other thing is you are not going to walk in and become the ceo. understand, work their way up the ladder. a lot of them don't have the patience for that. >> exactly right. what we need to fix all of this. it doesn't have to be this

way. we need strong leadership in the home. we need strong leadership in businesses right now who maybe for the first time to these graduates will say no. you don't get your way. brian: and if someone is like larry winget in this direction, they are going to rocket up the ladder. sadly they will stand out maybe more than previous generations would. >> absolutely. remember, in a world of snowflakes, be the heat. ainsley: i love that. steve: larry, thank you very much. >> you bet. ainsley: as fire rips through a an apartment building, everyone races to save everyone inside. >> get out, get out. wake up, wake up. hey, get out. get out. steve: oh my goodness. ainsley: incredible video coming up next. steve: that's the exit. plus, more lawmakers confronting mark zuckerberg about why facebook labeled diamond and silk as unsafe to the community. gerri willis joins us next with his answers to their cuff questions live from

know. real take away here is do you want facebook telling you what you can see in your facebook feed? is it their job to sort through content and say this political stuff is good? this political stuff is bad? >> gerri, it's different. what's dangerous. they are going to decide basically they are trying to get rid of the al qaeda. the isis and the fake news. they are trying to. steve: they got rid of diamond and silk because they said they were offensive to the community. brian: they also went on to say they don't sell your data. and they are outraged that cambridge analytica did what they did and they even stole. >> they stole mark zuckerberg's information. i have to tell you here is the information they are not talking about i believe that they're worried to death about okay so cambridge analytica from their point of view. what if en masse people started pulling away from facebook. there is nothing to keep threw. you don't have to stay on facebook, right? ainsley: there needs to be another social media company that comes out and says we

will not censure you unless it is dangerous and terrorist. steve: in the eyes of who. >> big question who makes those decisions? let's face it. many americans are uncomfortable with media making that decision. brian: what happens -- what facebook do in terms of their stock? >> 5.5% gain over two days. $3.3 billion he got as a result of this. you think about this. it was a big win for him. absolutely. steve: also, the worry was that there would be more regulation. there would be regulation on facebook. there is internationally, particularly in europe. but, you know, after that, they are no closer to american regulation than they were when they started. >> these are people who can't agree on going to lunch together. that's just my view. the idea that they are going to get together on some kind of comprehensive reform. europe has already done it those rules are coming here and they are intense. ainsley: you said there was a gain in the stock market yesterday. was there a big drop when all of this was first breaking. >> facebook under pressure

when they first announced cambridge analytica. their stock has tanked like a stone. steve: every single member of congress has a facebook page. >> that's right. they talked about it until you thought your head was going to come off during these hearings. steve: gerri, thank you. >> you are welcome. steve: 22 minutes before the top of the hour. you know what it means time for news with jillian. jillian: good morning. get you caught up on some of the news we are following including. this the associated press reporting the national enquirer paid 30,000 to do so an exdoor man in one of president trump's buildings all over a rumor. the payment to keep quiet about a rumor that then candidate trump fathered a child with an employee there the woman involved said it's all take. michael cohen calls it a baseless rumor. the ladies of abc "the view" can't hide their disdain for the trump administration. co-host whoopi goldberg appearing tone courage violence while discussing

list of cities in sacramento that we are not very happy about the law. >> when jerry brown says he supports this law. when a lot of californians voted for this law. what were your thoughts? were you going to be vocal or did you decide and your counsel decide to be vocal once other cities started doing this. >> no. actually we started to attack this last year when it was in the legislature before it became law. we actually sent a letter to the legislature encouraging them not to pass it or to at least incorporate changes that wouldn't handcuff our police forces to be able to work with ice to apprehend illegal alien criminals. ainsley: do you think the governor is starting to listen to you guys and listen to -- i know the southern part of the state is a little bit more conservative or a lot more conservative. is he starting to hear what your opinions are? >> you know, sacramento is controlled by two thirds democrats. so they really don't have to listen to us. and that's been their history. i hope that they would

listen. but obviously they didn't last year and that's why we decided to join the lawsuit against the state by jeff sessions. ainsley: why do you think he is sending 400 national guard troops down to the border. is he responding to the president. >> well, you know, you listen to jerry brown and sending them there for other reasons, not for immigration purposes in neither event the troops end up being at the border. so it's a matter of whose spin do you want to listen to. ainsley: what's your message to the folks in the northern part of your state that are complying with sb-54? >> we want to be a law and order city. we want to be a law and order state. we want to comply both with federal law and state law. and they put us into a situation that we have to choose. we don't like it. ainsley: thank you so much, councilman for being with us. great to see you. have a great weekend. thank you. years on soft policy on russia are over. what we expect to hear from mike pompeo during his confirmation hearing and what president trump just

steve: house speaker paul ryan shaking up the house yesterday announcing he is going to retire at the end of his term. what effect will this have on the november midterm elections as we march on toward that month? joining us right now to break it all down is former ted cruz campaign polster and ceo of wpa intelligence chris wilson. chris, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: okay. so paul ryan made a really good case. look, my kids have never seen me before because i

only come home on the weekends so i would like to spend a little time before they grow up. that's a good reason. >> yeah, it is. a quick scan of paul ryan instagram account shows how much he enjoys spending time with his kids, the travel and fundraising. the schedule he has got. 20 states so far this year. the schedule has got to be just daunting particularly for someone in a decade isn't going to have his kids around anymore. they will be off in college. for some reason for someone want to leave one reason no one can argue with. steve: speaker of the house, you are in charge the house on the republican side. and you are the leader. but, they don't realize that if you are a republican, you do look for the speaker of the house, if you are in congress, to come out to your district and raise money and that's why a lot of the weekends when he would like to be at home in janesville with his kidd kids he is somewhere else trying to make money for somebody else. >> it's, like i said, the

schedule last week i do a lot of work in texas. he had been down there all over the state. having said that he is a prolific fundraiser. money from his campaign over to the rncc. he is going to run, keep doing that schedule, keep raising money. both the nrcc and rnc are on track. they have already through the end of february raised 50%. more than 50% for what they did for all of 2016. it's going to be well funded. i don't see that stopping. is he still committed to republican and conservative ideals and making sure he does everything that republicans keep the house. steve: we have a big screen over here that shows team ryan fundraising in the first quarter of 2018. look at that they have raised 11.1 million already. over the last election cycle over 54 million. here's the thing, chris. it does look to some donors as if paul ryan is getting out because he knows the democrats are going to be

taking over. is he going to lose the gavel so he is going to get out while the getting is good. >> i think democrats will certainly do everything they can to make that argument. as he gets out, he became the 25th member-to-announce retirement. have you 13 more moving on and trying to run for higher offices. 38 seats right now amongst republicans are open. steve, the interesting thing about that only 22 are ranked as toss-up, which is less than the democrats need to take over the house. ryan probably moves into that category. the democrat there has already raised $2.5 million. and now that ryan is out he has to find a strong republican to hold that seat. what it does is free's him up to go out and make sure the republicans have strong candidacies and helping them campaign. he knows in january he will have the time to spend his family and can he work with donors and republican party to make sure the republican does hold the house and pick um seats in the senate. steve: one of the problems for mr. ryan it was hard to get all the republicans on the same page and that's why

they didn't get a lot of stuff done. so, if the republicans still have the majority, come january, who would the next speaker be in a lot of people talking about steve scalise on the program for kevin mccarthy. right now, who is the front runner? >> you know, it's tough to say because this only started yesterday. steve scalise has said he won't run against kevin mccarthy. he started to run last time when paul ryan did and pulled back and decided not to. so no one has really announced yet there are a lot of calls being made. i had a couple calls with clients of ours. talking about what's going to happen. between the two. i think it's likely that scalise emerges because he is seen as the more conservative pick and he would be a face of the party. i think there is probably a couple other candidates in this that we haven't even heard of yet. steve: sure. >> you could see republicans coming together same thing with paul ryan. hey, this is the person who we can all get behind. steve: sounds like right now

they are doing the deal or they're talking to kevin mccarthy because he is saying all the things they want to hear. so stay tuned. we will find out what's going to happen. chris wilson, former ted cruz campaign polster, thank you very much for joining us live. meanwhile, if somebody wants welfare, should they have to get a drug? what about a drug test in the president pushing stricter guidelines. we'll have a debate on that next hour. here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters sumatra reserve. let's go to sumatra. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. so we give farmers like win more plants. to grow more delicious coffee. which helps provide for win's family. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters. let's see. if this pack, and this pack, have the same number of bladder leak pads, i bet you think the bigger one is better, right? actually, it's bulkier.

famous. steve: i heard you say that. irk really? steve: many times. ainsley: you remind everyone they're -- you're the reason they're famous. steve: we start this hour with a fox news alert. the united states military could strike syria at any moment. ainsley: bashar al-assad moving military planes waiting for president trump's promised response to a deadly chemical attack. brian: kevin corke live at the white house with more. kevin, i guess the clock is ticking? reporter: the clock is ticking. when the coalition might strike the regime is anybody's guess. the president famously criticized for president obama for telegraphing military strategy. he is not doing this himself. this is pretty instructive. the president writing this. never said, when, okay. that word in mine, never said when attack on syria could take place. could be very soon or not at all. in the event nights, under my

administration has done a great job of ridding the region of isis. with is our, thank you america? they devastating once again to watch how the assad regime treated people of that country this time it was use of chemicals on the syrian people again, allegedly by the regime with the protection of the kremlin. white house officials say it created environment where frankly blame, placing it isn't too tough to do. >> russia has proven themselves to be responsible in part for this. they guaranteed that the use of chemical weapons by syria would not happen again. they failed at that. so they are certainly hold some responsibility in this. certainly have proven themselves to be bad actors in this process. >> we're not going to strike any russian aspects. we're going to look at those syrian pieces. we are in talks continuously with the russians.

you know, we're not going to do that i do not believe the russians will shoot an american airplane out of the sky. reporter: keep in mind the u.n. security council hold as closed-door meeting on the escalating tensions in syria. that happens today. the president will be in rose garden talking about tax reform. if he says anything in person or twitter we'll get back to you. brian: he will do both. talk about everything else. he tweeted this morning, good luck to mike pompeo during his confirmmation hearing today. it would be great to have a secretary of state, wouldn't it. reporter: it is about time, wouldn't you say? steve: thank you, kevin corke. the problem is mike pompeo. brian: is there one democrat make up for the lack of vote? steve: doesn't look like it. regarding the strikes on syria, sounds like the pentagon is still working on targets. the white house wants expansive strike, but the pentagon is

concerned as kevin detailed by the threats made by russia. consensus, rather than a couple day campaign, it looks like it would be one day, one big strike, several targets. what those are don't know. brian: got to be all six military bases. it has got to hit where they manufacture all these gases. has to be more substantial than a year ago. 59 tomahawks got a second gas attack. north korea is watching. iran is watching. how serious should we be taken in the region? ainsley: we'll keep you posted. jeff sessions is the attorney general. he was close to the border, speaking to the border sheriff coalition in texas and southwest border sheriff's coalition. he had a message, there is a new sheriff in town talking about our president. he wants to achieve zero tolerance, zero release, 100% prosecution. listen.

>> with president trump we have a new era of support for law enforcement like we haven't seen in many years. you might even say we've got a new sheriff in town. we are working to take criminals off the streets by restoring the rule of law and really, protecting our, and fixing our immigration system. so we're going to step up our efforts to see, achieve zero tolerance and zero releases and 100% prosecution. steve: mr. session, the attorney general, also slammed the u.s. congress. he said look, you guys blew it when it came to passing some sort of comprehensive immigration reform. and because there is no new law that got to do what they can do via the administration and different rules and you know, with the president himself ordering up to 4,000 members of the national guard on our southern border. we already heard texas wanted to

send troops. arizona wanted to send troops. new mexico wanted to send troops. now california governor jerry brown will send 400 but they won't do what the president wants them to do. ainsley: they won't be used to enforce federal immigration law? steve: what is the point. ainsley: president tweeted about it. california governor jerry brown is doing the right thing. brian: be clear on the scope of the mission. this will not be a mission to build a new wall. it will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people leaving violence. jerry brown will come up here and let them stay his house. where does he come off anyone can come into the country simply because you run is a state. that laws don't matter. not everyone don't have a great

story from switzerland to greenland. ainsley: follow the law. brian: just because you come to the southern border you're allowed in? that means we don't need an immigration system? steve: what is interesting in southern california all these municipalities in orange county will no longer be sanctuary cities. they're challenging the state, which is interesting, if you come up from mexico into toward los angeles, you got to go through those counties. so the i.c.e. guys are working with local officials in orange county. ainsley: three more this week have said we'll not comply with, we will sue. we'll join the lawsuit of with the doj. brian: the wall, no doubt about it, it has been effective in san diego. the governor knows that. everyone knows it. democrats and republicans know that in the area. so for him to say walls don't work, can't be reinforced and built up all the way across is being flat-out disingenuous. eight minutes after the hour. on sunday james comey's

long-awaited book will be out. giving his officers interview with george stephanopoulos. goes over an hour. they found the whole thing is fascinating. they say it is devastating to the trump team. >> how strange is it for you to sit here to compare the president to a mob boss? things you know but haven't said that could damage president trump. >> james comey. >> to those who say you should have brought hillary clinton before a grand jury? should donald trump be impeached? steve: that is great promo. you want to hear answers to all those questions. what is interesting, keep in mind because james comey knows a lot of secret stuff, how much he will actually reveal because he could be in legal jeopardy if he reveals too much. brian: on pond we should have a whole bunch much legal mind to have what is in the book. we'll get it at same time. a lot of people think the inspector general's report is waiting for the book to drop before they complete it. ainsley: the book drops on

tuesday. they will watch the interview whether or not they like him or trust him. people are fascinated. they want to hear what he is going to say. steve: we asked what you thought. mary emailed us, comey will bash and demean the president. that's sad. this is not something that needs to be in the limelight she writes. brian: bob says this, i will not watch the interview or buy comey's book. already know what he is. love to see more from the fbi and doj. ainsley: definitely, if you don't want to watch it sunday night, we'll playing clips an analyzing it on monday morning. brian: bret baier's will be the best overall. he will have a chance to ask comey things are not right with the people he used to work with, that he contributes. steve: big thing right now you want to hear james comey explain why the president is like a mob boss. all we have heard is the tease. it is a very effective tease. if you want to find out, you have to watch "20/20" or watch our program which will be the "20/20" postgame show. ainsley: if you want some more news, jillian has headlines for you.

jillian: postgame show is always fun especially if your team wins. let's get you caught up on some of your headlines. the years of soft policy on russia are over. that is what secretary of state nominee mike pompeo is expected to tell the senate during his confirmation hear. he is challenging saying that diplomatic efforts with moscow must continue. he takes over for rex tillerson. president trump tweeting his support. good luck to mike pompeii wrote during his con firmmation hearing today. he will be a great secretary of state. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein handing a two-page memo over to house intelligence committee chair devin nunez and house oversight committee chair trey gowdy. earlier judge andrew napolitano weighed in on what could happen next. >> the house of representatives should subpoena a person, chris wray, jeff sessions whoever has control over the whole thing f that person doesn't produce the documents that person should be held in contempt.

jillian: the justice department giving in after nunez threatened toe have rosenstein and fbi director christopher wray impeached. this guy is busted thanks to a question thinking dad allegedly trying to kidnap his daughter. he is accused of grabbing the 3-year-old's hand at a sack meant toe park. the father went after him when he tried it drag him away. >> he was like, wow, no big thing, huh, bud. you just tried to kidnap my daughter. reporter: he is behind bars and charged with kidnapping. brawls with benches clearing and punches thrown. >> there it is. and he does not like it. now he is going to head toward the mound. now, this is a brawl. jillian: yankees and red sox coming to blows when yankee tyler austin is hit with pitch and charges the mound.

people who are dependent on assistance are not there because they want to be there. everybody would want to have the american dream but that is not reality right now. steve: kimberly, i'm sure you would agree if people are down on their luck have nothing to eat they should certainly get assistance you like the idea there are finally standards who would qualify? >> yes. bill clinton once said welfare should be a second chance not a way of life. right now we're seeing record low unemployment numbers with record high welfare dependency numbers. president trump recognizes that we have to change policy to reflect with the times. we're out of the recession. president obama put waivers in place that has able-bodied americans able to sit home and not go to work. steve: sure. >> in the '90s, welfare program to work was successful. 60% of unwed mothers went to work. child poverty declined to the lowest levels ever. >> i am glad you mentioned clinton it was welfare reform in

'96, signed a reconciliation act welfare reform. what we're talking about here agencies have it report actually immigrants receiving aid. what it is a subversive way of eliminating immigrants. so the wall is keeping people out and this is a way to get people out. steve: what about the suggestion that would allow some states to require mandatory drug testing for some food stamp recipients, kimberly. >> i don't think that is a bad idea. i think also asking people to work, train or volunteer for 20 hours a week is also not a bad idea. i wouldn't be running for office or sitting in this chair today if i didn't volunteer on capitol hill find an occupation i love to do. this is not punishment. steve: give you final word. >> this is not reality show. they are not human beings there because they want to be. so many socioeconomic factors, we have to look at total picture. not eliminate people and and how

build them up. steve: if people can't pass a drug test, there would be another reason, other than they failed a drug test, you don't think they should get government money if they have a drug problem? >> that is not necessarily -- that is not necessarily what the executive order is signing. what was signed was that, agency executives must report those who are illegally receiving monies. so undocumented immigrants are part of that, part of that population. steve: okay. >> a household not equally yoked loses all benefits, that is not right. >> regardless the welfare system is flawed. right now we measure success not how much sign on as dean pent dent but how many people have independence. whatever way you need it, it has to change. >> i think the executive order is flawed. we need to look at that. steve: you have different points of view. that is why we brought you on together. thank you very much.
