meet her. >> one of the interesting things to me about her is how intelligent, how bright she was. someone reading two or three books a week. i would give her a book, she would give it back or give me a book review on it and there was a time in her life she couldn't read and started switching to audiobooks and there was a neurological difference between reading a book and listening to a book. imagine how interesting a person she was with that kind of knowledge. we went to disney world, george and barbara and myself, epcot center, spent the whole night at the chinese restaurant talking - rob: she passed overnight but not a sad story when you look at her life, the highlight reel, how many people are married more

and even be embarrassed by it. she's one of the greatest first ladies in history and one of the greatest women in history because all around her people compared to abigail adams but abigail adams who was also the wife and mother of a president never knew it. she died in 1818. john quincy adams, his income became president in 1825, everybody around barbara bush, all her children succeeded, not just jeb and not just george, but neil and marvin and dora, there were rumors that one time that neil bush was going to run for governor. this was a great family. rob: thanks for that insight, really great to hear, we appreciate it. jillian: the public is invited to pay their respects to barbara bush next friday between 12:00 pm and midnight at st. martin's the piscopo church in

she pretty much lives in her favorite princess dress. but once a week i let her play sheriff so i can wash it. i use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. you are free to go. tide and downy together. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me?

rob: bombshell revelation for the trump administration, admission to denuclearize kim jong un, mike pompeo met with kim jong un over easter weekend in pyongyang, to lay groundwork to estimate between kim jong un and donald trump, these early talks seem to be working. >> we had talks at the highest level, leave it short of that. we had talks at the highest

level and it is going very well. we will see what happens. rob: the summit location has been narrowed down to 5 different places but didn't say where or when it could happen. jillian: the late show at stephen colbert, fired of the art director comparing the president to an excessive ex-boyfriend. >> he tweeted me 50 times, i have been gone for a year, like a breakup he can't get over. he wakes up in the morning and sweets at me. jillian: comey's book a higher loyalty sparked major criticism from the president, one tweet calling him a slimeball and another suggesting he should be in jail. one of the largest counties in california taking a stand voting 3-1 to join the trump administration at lawsuit against the state's sanctuary law.

rob: chairwoman of the san diego county board of supervisors, thanks for staying -- san diego is a big one, in california, tell us how powerful the signal you're trying to send your state leaders. >> sending a clear message to governor brown, enough is enough. federal immigration laws by implementing state laws. in san diego we experience the impact of human trafficking, drug trafficking across the border. and it is not right. we are standing up against it. >> ever seen anything like this

in california? more dangerous as a result? >> san diego becoming more dangerous as a result. our local law enforcement's hands are tied often times. if you look at the numbers alone, criminals released on san diego streets. these are not just people coming across the board or in an illegal way, these people are committing crimes in san diego county that deal with drugs, multiple dui offenses and we used to be able to notify immigration agencies before their release date from jail and we can't do that thanks to governor brown and sb 54. rob: your governor has been in politics for ever in california, he is a known name, appear to be

pragmatic, trying to find common ground how to deal with the national guard issue and some would say political pressure to pull back from that and move another direction and keep staying far to the left as they have been in california as far as immigration. do you think that is an accurate summation? >> the government cannot do that to federal law. you can look at the obama administration when they decided to sue the state of arizona. the state of arizona was frustrated with federal immigration laws because they believe there wasn't enough enforcement so they decided to enact sb 1070, arizona absolution to increase immigration enforcement. they ruled if you look back at justice kennedy who wrote the majority opinion out of that case, and understandable frustration with immigration

policies, the state may not pursue policies that undermine federal law. governor brown may have understandable frustrations with federal immigration policies but he cannot enact local policies at the state level that intends to surpass federal immigration laws. >> we appreciate it. every traveler's worst nightmare, a plane engine exploding at 30,000 feet killing a mother after she was nearly sucked out of the window. >> just incredible. how in the world can this happen in this day and age? the latest on this investigation. ah. ugh, i don't y wallet, so - [girl 1] perfect! you can send a digital payment.

in there. investigators, and what is holding it up, russia and the syrian government both deny any role in chemical attacks but they are being accused of dragging their feet and preventing the investigation and even if investigations don't get in there. and will they conduct credible interviews with survivors and witnesses, that is one of the big concerns looking at this investigation. will russia and the asad regime and people talk to investigators and we are hearing from you and amb. nikki haley will announce new sanctions in russia, and no new - new sanctions to be announced. and they are confused about what happened, nikki haley say they

airplanes. how in the world can this happen? >> and explosions have an aircraft, this particular instance in the database, it never happened. people sucked out of an aircraft in 1988, a flight attendant on a 787 out of hawaii, the cabin peeled back and she got sucked out over the pacific and no one else. taking off out of england, the captain's windshield blue out and was sucked out but his feet snagged on the wheel and the copilot made a turnaround, he was flopping around and lived. went back to flying in 6 months. >> folks who don't have experience being a pilot, you listen to the calls and hear how calm that pilot is, very impressive if you ask me. have you ever been in a situation like that and how much does that training kick in? >> training is everything. it kicks in, you don't have time

to be framed, it training kicks in and you start going by the numbers and those numbers are drilled into you so much, this was a depressurized aircraft, 32,000 feet, involve rapid descent, you're required to demonstrate on a positive checkride that failed past, pass fail you can get, blow 15,000 in 21/2 minutes. and passengers, not positive pressure. if we stayed up at 30,000 feet, if the cabin were at 30,000 feet, you can't breathe. the pilots can breathe, there's a price that a pressure mask, oxygen at 100%, and reversed the breeding, open your mouth and grant to get it out. >> to save everybody else on the plane, do you think it could

have been worse? that all that came open when the window was blown out, could that have become bigger? could the fuselage, part in an injury to a plane like that and cost more lives? >> a 747 united airlines several years back, it. out the 5 panel of the cabin and 5 passengers out of first-class through the side and some through the engine. could it modify a larger structural failure? it could have. it also affected the control of the aircraft. >> what is your message to people getting on flights today? >> 30,000 million-a-year. and this was so rare that in the

database that i spent searching, could not find a similar instance. the advice i give the people, the same announcement i made. i turned off the seatbelt side, leave the seatbelt securely fastened, not loosely fastened unless you happen to be a man wearing boxer shorts, and desire to be in the vienna boys club. rob: thank you for the perspective. and unbelievable story. so many flights every day, people shouldn't feel safe. >> america has the safest airline system in the world. rob: demanding action, fresh calls for an investigation into alleged fbi and department of justice bias, the concerning level of coordination ties to the clinton probe. jillian: judge and to napolitano is here to weigh in next.

still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party.

jillian: the concerning level of coordination. brand-new calls to investigate possible bias at the fbi and justice department. rob: the head of the conservative freedom caucus asking house oversight and republican reform committee taking a close look at emails and texts between the fbi lovers we have been talking about, peter stzrok and lisa page. jillian: judge and enough autonomy, thank you for joining us. we love having you here. as more information comes out, the conversation continues, do you reach a higher level of

concern? judge napolitano: years. mark meadows, the congressman you quoted, is a long-term friend of mine. we have not discussed this personally. i partially agree and partially disagree. i agree there is something that the public needs to know about. i disagree that we need another congressional investigation going over the same old thing. here is what i would do. the evidence of mrs. clinton's guilt for espionage, failure to safeguard state secrets is overwhelming. the evidence of the defects in james comey's rationale for not prosecuting her is obvious. the statute of limitations has not yet run. attorney general sessions, take this evidence, give it to a team of prosecutors, let them present to a grand jury and see if the grand jury indicts or. that would be the just thing to do. i don't know. i don't know why this perception

in the land the justice department will not do its duty, which is enforcing the laws fairly, are they going to say we can't indict mrs. clinton because she ran against donald trump look like a banana republic where the winner indicts the loser. if you run for president and lose you get a free pass on getting felony? of course not. rob: let's look at what mark meadows is talking about, text messages, between peter stzrok and page, timing look like hell, this is awful timing, nothing we can do about it. the doj tells us we are doing this, comey added that language, we have the morning of it. they sent a statement to comey chief of staff, he called andrew

mccabe, this is when we have the atty. gen. meeting bill clinton on the tarmac, i am going to go with whatever comey says and changing the language, made that unprecedented statement, i don't think charges should be filed. judge napolitano: highly unprecedented and the stated reason was no reasonable prosecutor would take the case. and democrats and republicans take the place because evidence of guilt is overwhelming. we know from the book tour, she was going to get elected president. it would be reprehensible to have her start with espionage on her shoulder, partnering herself. that is a rational way of thinking but defective, a political way of thinking. a law-enforcement way of thinking, the chief law-enforcement agency in the land at that time.

>> and criticism of comey, some of it is deserved. where is this going to go? nowhere. we will be talking about this months from now. rob: the nation waking up, barbara bush has died. jillian: the matriarch of the bush dynasty battling lung disease and heart failure deciding recent days not to seek additional treatment. spending her final days at home. rob: former assistant to george w. bush, brad blakeman. a common appearance on the show but for different reasons. thanks for coming on. wonderful to get this insight into the life of this woman, she's more amazing that a lot of us even knew. tell us about the personality

and sense of humor of this special lady. >> she was a national treasure. what you saw was what you got. mrs. bush was the same in front of the camera as behind the camera. she was everybody's mom, school human you did wrong and praise you when you did right. i remember a funny story in new york, in charge of the schedule for the un gen. assembly in october 1990, raining cats and dogs, i was running around, had to accompany them to the un and forgot my raincoat. i'm in the elevator with the president and mrs. bush and i'm the only one without a raincoat. she says where is your raincoat? it is raining. i said i'm sorry, i don't have a. she said that is not very smart. you need to go back up and get it and the president and i will wait in the car. i ran up and got my coat and ran down, a 40 our motorcade was waiting for me, the guy who left his raincoat.

i passed the limousine, looks inadmissible smiled and nodded approval. when we got to the un she passed me and she said now you are smart and dry. looking out for somebody else, caring about others. jillian: walk us through the love story between barbara george hw. in her last moments in her last days he was by her side holding her hand. a remarkable love story 73 years of marriage, incredible. >> they have a wonderful family, tight, caring family. whenever they were together they finished each other's sentences. she was always concerned, not for herself but for the president. and devotion rarely seen, symbiotic relationship of a couple that met as teenagers and spent 73 years together. rob: an incredible story, a
