>> kim jong un has agreed to halt nuclear tests ahead of his meeting with president trump. >> we could be on the cusp, frankly, of the most significant diplomatic achievement since the marshall plan post world war ii. >> the democratic national committee filed a lawsuit today against the russian government, the trump campaign and the wikileaks organization. >> for comey to make up excuses why comey lost is pathetic. they had a bad message. they had a bad candidate. they are the ones that colluded with the russians. >> comey is under investigation for leaking the memos. >> comey has hurt himself and raised very serious questions about his ethics and his behavior and perhaps his criminal liability.

>> it looks like i will not be able to be home for your birthday -- daddy! daddy. abby: straight to a fox news alert this morning. major progress with north korea. the country putting its missile testing on hold and closing one of its nuclear sites. ed: president trump calling it big progress tweeting he is looking forward to high stakes face to face meeting with the dictator kim jong un. >> two expected to talk about getting rid of nukes all together. the testing has stopped. expected immediately. the rogue nation also vowing to engage in conversations with its neighbors to secure peace in the korean peninsula. abby: good morning. great to have ed and todd on the couch.

there is a lot of news to get to. first and foremost. north korea. this might be the most significant foreign policy since we have seen from nixon. remember nixon going to china? ed: absolutely. abby: reminds me of a little bit in that time in our country's history. this is a huge moment in history. this is good news for president trump and more evidence that having tough talks actually might mean something. ed: yeah. i think kim jong un has been worried about the unpredictability of this president and the fact that he means business. something that kim jong un was not afraid about going back to the obama days. todd: so many people have put this as the number one foreign policy issue facing america right now. many of those same people said president trump, anybody, nobody is going to be able to fix this. it appears that president trump has gotten one step closer. we are going to bring in jim hanson president security studies. he served in the u.s. army special forces. conducted counter terrible operations. jim, how big of a

development is this? >> it's huge. i mean, there is no question this is unprecedented. the bottom line is, no one was expecting anything good to come of president trump's fiery rhetoric except people who understand that diplomacy works better with a credible threat of military force backing it up. that's the reality. flint firefighters union to have that iron fist and a velvet glove. it's worked. it's brought kim to the table in ways none of president trump's predecessors were able to do. abby: look at just this past year. remember last year we had those tight sanctions put on north korea. and then china crossed their own red line. they stopped oil and gas from going into north korea. you had the olympics where north and south korea were working together and then trump publicly announcing that he would be willing to meet with kim jong un. you look at all the events that have played out and then most recently mike pompeo going over there himself. what is the thing that sticks out to you to making

north korea open their eyes maybe we do need to work with the western world? >> i think there is no question that the sanctions and increasing the pressure on the regime had an effect. but i think what actually sealed the deal was the belief by kim jong un that he could lose that hermit kingdom. that president trump, if he did not denuclearize was willing to take the step of taking out his nuclear capabilities. that's something i don't think any of the previous presidents had managed to convince their korean counterpart to actually believe. ed: jim, the president's critics must be baffled because he has rewound the tape about a year. when the president was talking tough with north korea, you remember he talked about fire and fury. it became the title of that highly critical book the idea that the president was out-of-control and couldn't put together a diplomatic achievement like this. and then i read the "new york times" this morning and right away this morning they say mr. kim made no mention

of dismantling. north korea already has. meaning they are already trying to find something wrong with this. kim jong un is saying we are stopping testing. big deal and the president's critics already trying to find some reason to say it's not that big of deal. >> i was reliably informed by all of these people that president trump's rhetoric was going to cause a nuclear war. now that the exact opposite is happening, as you say they are quibbling and tap dancing and trying to back away. here is what actually happened. north korea has agreed to talk about denuclearization. they have said they will do it. they are talking to south korea about ending a half century old war. and they told south koreans that none of this is even tied to the u.s. leaving the peninsula. so we have to take a very trust but verify and a very low level of trust at that approach to this. but this is a major opportunity and this is a win for president trump's policy. todd: jim alan son live for

us this morning. it underscores the need to get mike pompeo confirmed immediately. he is the one that went there to north korea and opened the doors. got to get it done. abby: there is a lot going on in washington as well. james comey as we have seen throughout the week making his media tour about his book. there are a lot of questions now, ed, about what he might have said under oath, whether or not he was always honest. ed: james comey officially now under investigation. that's the other big news breaking overnight. the justice department inspector general. we knew he was reviewing the fbi and the justice department's handling of the clinton investigation. a whole bunch of other matters. these comey memos. the seven memos targeting president trump and their meetings and phone calls, it turns out the "wall street journal" reporting first, fox and others confirming, that at least two of these memos had classified information. that now under investigation and really puts james comey on defense because, remember, he testified under oath last year to congress

that in these memos he went out of his way not to put classified information. abby: hhe ai haved classified information memos. i like it call them his personal diary because that's essentially what they're. ed: he went to his friend to leak them out and it had classified information. abby: the president is tweeting about this. james comey illegally leaked classified document to the press in order to special counsel. the special counsel will establish based on illegal act. does anybody know what that means? todd: really the question everybody is wondering did james comey commit an illegal act? you mentioned the july 2017 testimony in front of the senate. the january 2017 memo that was leaked has the word secret on it now we will get into what does secret mean? what level of classification does secret mean? if that is determined to be a significant level of classification. james comey could be in trouble. remember, james comey and andrew mccabe not necessarily buddies over the

course of the last 48 hours. abby: they used to be tied at the hip because they were number one and number two. now they keep pointing fingers at each other i didn't know about that. i didn't know about that either. ed: here it why it matters. james comey leaked these memos and helped he can leak them out to help build the case for a special counsel which was named robert mueller. suggesting there was maybe collusion. suggesting maybe there was obstruction of justice. now, what the president's tweet is saying is was that rotten fruit basically. todd: fruit of the poisonous tree. ed: there you go. you understanding the legal term. bottom line is, does that mean that these memos with classified information, it may have been illegal for james comey to leak them out there with that classified information. is this now rotten fruit that led to the special counsel investigation and the legal principle basically is, so, if there is an illegal traffic stop and a police officer finds drugs in your glove compartment. there's a problem. they can't charge you. so, the president's tweet is clearly trying to

delegitimize. abby: irony of all of this mueller probe comes to an end and signals that might be slowing down. mueller saying he is not a target in that case. he's a subject. but the irony at the end of all of this it could be mccabe -- not mccabe -- yeah, mccabe that goes down. ed: mccabe has a criminal referral for himself. also breaking is the fact that the dnc yesterday decided to sue the trump campaign. sue russia and sue wikileaks. a lot of people scratching their head why now? what smut world is going on here? abby: also, how do you sue a country? that's the big question i have. here is the dnc chair tom perez on that lawsuit. take a listen. >> we want to send a very, very clear signal. if you want to mess with elections here,there are going to be consequences. we are raising the cost of your interference. we know that this administration is putin's poodle. and so they are not going to do anything. so we will continue to act. if you want to do that if you are going to punch us,

we're going to punch back. that's what this lawsuit is about. we are protecting our democracy. when you go after the right to vote. when did you go after the institution of elections. that is the essence of our democracy. this wasn't simply an attack on the dnc. this was an attack on our democracy. todd: the phrase putin's poodle sounds like a great band's name. they're never going to pay to matter what you do. part two you have a situation where wikileaks is protected by the first amendment. and by the way the collusion aspect, we have a special counsel going on trying to find collusion they haven't found anything. abby: they are nervous. todd: they are nervous. abby: coming to an end and now what do we have now. it comes across as very petty. scrambling to keep this as the headline. keep this in the news to find something there. to find some sort of collusion which happened. which, as far as we know with this investigation, there still is no evidence of that.

ed: trump campaign is firing back. abby: they're the ones being sued. brad pascal he is going to be the chief in 2020. this is a sham lawsuit he tweeted about a bogus russian collusion claim filed by a desperate, dysfunctional and nearly insole venting democratic party. with the conspiracy theories against the campaign evaporating they have sunk to a new low to raise money. especially among small donors have who have abandoned them. that's an untold story there, we are coming up on these mid terms where the democrats believe they have steam. and yet, financially, the dnc has been in desperate shape. you would think if you are about to take out the president and his party, you would be flush with cash. the dnc isn't. abby: sounds like their strategy is to try to raise a little bit of doe, ed. we know how that works. to have haded to could be an attempt to depose people in a civil case where the bar is much, much lower.

abby: do want to bring you some other headlines we are following starting with a fox news alert and a manhunt for a cold-blooded killer intensifying at this hour after he took off right before a jury found him guilty of murder. he walked away during a lurch break in atlanta. he had been free on bond. he and another man were convicted of shooting a 19-year-old college football player 50 times. yikes. all right. well, throw out all romaine lettuce. did you hear about this? that is the urgent warning from the cdc. the massive e.coli outbreak in arizona has just gotten bigger. so far 53 people from coast to coast have gotten sick. recall now covers all forms of romaine including whole heads and hearts of romaine. health officials also said avoid eating it at restaurants at least for right now. we will keep an eye on that one to see how it changes. the world preparing to say final goodbye to the bush

>> adult film store stormy daniels. >> stormy daniels. >> adult film storm stormy daniels. >> stormy daniels. >> stormy daniels. >> stormy daniels. >> porn star stormy daniels. abby: well, one name been on the mind of the media sings mid january it's been stormy daniels. has the media's obsessive coverage rest resonated with average american. todd: you may it does not resonate with the average american. why do you say that? >> good morning. the media's obsession with stormy daniels is really getting out of hand. there is a recent poll.

and it shows by quinnipiac it shows that 23% of americans don't think this is an important issue. nine out of 10 republicans feel that way and on top of that, independents. 80% feel that this is not an important issue. it shows the major disconnect between the mainstream media and middle america. ainsley: you think about stormy daniels, most of us, none of us knew her name just a few months ago. and now it seems to be the topic. you turn on any channel during any sort of breaking news story and it still continues to be stormy daniels. wouldn't you think the obsession is? is it fun to talk about? is it entertaining? it's not impacting the way people are thinking about president trump. >> sure. i think there is some entertainment value to it. at the end of the day, the american people, it's really not an issue that they care about. and, you know, they knew what they were getting when they elected donald trump in 2016. they realized he wasn't a squeaky clean poster boy.

they realized he had a past but they voted for him for policy not necessarily personality. he has delivered for them time and time again. todd: jenna, i read a great line with regard to the christian evangelicals. they want a body guard for their belief. they don't want a saint. i found that to be extremely telling. it seems that the evangelical numbers, the support for president trump is off the charts. let's show you this poll right now. i believe we have the full screen for you. you can see it right there how it's rising. 39% in november 2015. 65% in august of 2016. 68% in january. now despite all this stormy daniels stuff it has reached an all-time high 75% last month. why? >> yeah. it's because president trump continues to deliver on issues that are really important to evangelicals. this is the judicial system. this is israel and moving the u.s. embassy there. it's his stance on portion. all of these really important issues. and they see him as a

culture warrior. someone who is reestablishing and bringing back judeo-christian values to this country. >> where does this go? you see stormy daniels out there. she has been at the courthouse with michael cohen in the last week. how does it play out from here? is this going to drag out into the mid terms and then even to 2020? >> as it relates to the mainstream media, guys, i think they are going to keep hammering down on this. i don't know why. it's showing the american people really don't care about it. but i will say that the more they do stories about stormy daniels, about russia, the more i think people in middle america will turn their back against them because they really just don't care and they feel like these outlets are out to get the president. abby: they care about issues that impacts their life every day and stormy daniels isn't one of those. great to have you this morning. >> thank you both. abby: california's governor says the illegal immigration issue is blown out of proportion. >> i think fox news exploits

this issue. we have criminals that do horrible things all the time. which ones may be documented, which ones aren't, look at that. abby: that was our own griff jenkins getting tough. next guest doesn't agree. they are part fighting the grassroots. todd: that was amazing work by griff this week. full media swing this week. what do you the voters think? we have the dials you will only see here on "fox & friends weekend." >> i don't think is he medically unfit to be president. i think he is morally unfit to be president.

california. many thousands of americans are being killed at the hands of criminal illegal aliens and the governor's protecting them. i am outraged about this because, being a legal immigrant i would expect my government to respect us citizens and legal immigrant in this country, not the illegals and those who broke our laws. ed: seems like a reasonable proposition, ben, what is your group planning to do about all of this to push back against the government? >> well, the citizens of california have had enough. we're calling it -- i mean, the citizen revolt has started. when have break that oath and begin protecting criminal illegal aliens, something is really wrong. and so we are doing three very simple things. we're saying you cannot enact sanctuary policies and if do you you will be held accountable. criminal conduct and financial penalties for it.

you also as a business owner, you will not be held accountable for doing what citizens should be able to do is working with ice. the last thing is getting rid of drivers licenses for illegals, which allows automatic voter registration in california. we're saying three very simple things to put -- but basically it's protecting american dreamers. american citizens. ed: yeah, ben, i see your hat says justice for kate. i assume that's kate steinle of course killed by illegal immigrant. agnes your son's name. >> ronald desilva. >> when you saw the kate steinle murder happen and you saw the illegal immigrant circumstantial get away with it, what went through your mind. >> i cried. it's literally cried and felt a sense of helplessness and despair what is the government doing to us they are letting criminal illegal aliens get away with murder is that the message that the governor of california is

sending to us that criminal illegal aliens will be protected and citizens will not? >> very powerful message and the president is hearing you. he tweeted this week about all the gang members and said he was deeply frustrated with this, ben. last point from you about what you see happening next. >> well, you see it all across the country right now. we have it coming from the federal government and god bless donald trump and the administration, sessions for coming in and filing the lawsuits. we support that. we support the cities and municipalities, the counties standing up and rejecting the sanctuary state. now it's up to the citizens to stand up and join us and fight sanctuary state. it's, you know, initiative process. difficult process. costly process. we would invite everybody, whether you are in california or anywhere else in this country, if you believe in the rule of law if you don't want to be be a necessarto loseyour child suppo.

north korea striking a milder turn. reportedly willing to free three u.s. citizens. abby: coincide with the highly anticipated summit with president trump and kim jong un. todd: this as the nation freezes nuclear missile program. jillian mele joins us with details. >> in a dramatic. it says in part, quote. under the proven condition of complete nuclear weapons. we no longer need any nuclear tests. mid range and intercontinental ballistic rocket tests and the nuclear test site in the northern area hats also completed its mission. now, just hours ago, new reports surfaced that during mike pompeo's colon destined meeting with kim over easter the dictator floated the possibility of releasing three long held american detainees as par of the pending sit down with president trump. so this morning, all signs point to go for a trump-kim summit and things are

looking um for the trump administration's plan to try to strike a deal that no american president has been able to successfully do. all of these developments come just six days before kim is slated to meet with the south korean counter part. president moon. and only weeks before his highly anticipated faceoff with potus. this past week here in washington, talk of north korea was dominated by the politics surrounding cia director mike pompeo's pending confirmation as secretary of state. the mass still out on that. should he continue to produce results like the ones coming to light this morning, the tables on capitol hill may yet turn in his favor. todd? abby: i think you might be right about that. gillian, thank you so much. the president addresses upcoming summit with kim jong un on wednesday. wasn't the only big sound bite from the busy new week. todd: lee maslansky and partners. put one of these biggest. ed: she is the key partner.

obviously north korea over the course of the last 48 hours is the big story. >> it is a big story. the president is doing really really well on north korea across the board. this is his shining moment and has been on foreign policy being tough. abby: surprising because he has been so criticized for comments he has made. let's play some of that. >> i will be meeting with kim jong un in the come weeks to discuss the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. hopefully, that meeting will be a great success and we're looking forward to it. it would be a tremendous thing for north korea and a tremendous thing for the world. we have never been in a position like this with that regime. if i think that it's a meeting that is not going to be fruitful, we're not going to go. if the meeting, when i'm there is not fruitful, i will respectfully leave the meeting.

abby: that was from just this past wednesday with prime minister shinzo abe. some words there about north korea. now did they respond. >> responded well. republicans a plus, independence a b and democrats even gave it a c. they like the president being tough on national security and tough on north korea. he is going to have conversations but is he going to walk away if it's not in our best interest. people buy that about him. i will tell you something if the democrats continue to obstruct on pompeo, it's not going to play out well for them. ed: for the republicans to give him on c on anything shows he is doing well. >> there you go. ed: jim comey out there on the book tour. let's play a clip on him. >> is donald trump unfit to be president? >> yes. but not in the way that i often hear people talk about it. i don't buy this stuff about people saying incompetent or early stages of dementia. strikes me above average intelligence. i don't think is he medically unfit to be

president. i think he is morally unfit to be president. ed: even when is he praising i know some people think he might have dementia. low blow. >> democrats gave this is a b. independence a b and republicans a d. what strikes me the most is how independence reacted here. there was almost no reaction at all by them. and when you look and i dug deeper into the survey results. the number one thing they said is i don't know what to believe. i do believe him or is he here to sell books? i'm just not sure. these kind of moments were somewhat more earnest an when he really did some of the other interviews where he went low blow jabs. people in the middle are saying i don't know who to trust. former fbi director can i buy it. todd: c grade continues with your next sound bite u president trump saying no one has been tougher on russia than him. take a listen. >> there has been nobody tougher on russia than put donald trump.

between building up the military. between creating tremendous vast amounts of oil we raised billions and billions of dollars extra in nato. we had a very, very severe, we were talking about it for a while, fight in syria recently, a month ago between our troops and russian troops. it's sad but many people died in that fight. there has been nobody tougher than me. todd: that independent c line going straight across. abby: republicans and democrats are the furthest apart when it comes to russia. >> they are absolutely polarized. abby: no surprise there. >> no surprise there. what is shocking is independents. throughout this whole time for the last clear years we have been tracking this. independents have often been tracking with the president. that's why republicans have done so well if i were a republican and i was looking at this right now, i would be concerned.

ed: illinois democrats are pushing a new bill. you won't believe this one. reward schools that replace armed officers with therapists and social workers. todd: here to tell us about it illinois school resource officer here to tell us about it deputy kip hinelly. thank you for being here. we are not saying we don't want mental health in schools. we are saying we want both. armed security officers and mental health in schools, correct? >> yes. we deal with mental health issues quite often at school. and i, you know, i work very well with my guidance counselors, the school psychologists, the school social worker. i agree there needs to be more of those inside the school but i think pulling sos out of school the first

line against attacks is the wrong thing to do. ed: we want to be fair and give a direct quote. it says selected school districts must reallocate funding to other evidence based and promising practices designed to promote school safety and healthy learning environments, including increase use of school psychologists, social workers and other mental and behavioral health specialists. as you say, deputy, that's fine. let's bring in those elements as well. but when you are on the front lines of this big problem in this country, isn't it important to have a sort of the all of the above strategy? >> yes. you know, unfortunately if they take sros out of the school what if there is a school shooting or stabbing you are looking at 10, 15 minutes response time because they are so rural. even schools within a city if you pull sros out you are still looking at couple minute response time.

those minutes they could be engaging the threat and not there people getting injured and people possibly getting killed and stuff like that. todd: deputy, thanks so much for being here. you can't put a value on the price of a human and can't put a price on the child. they need to do all of the above as ed said. thank you for being here. ed: thank you. todd: mercedes schlapp lee greenwood, dana perino all here live when "fox & friends" on a saturday morning returns. ight help. show me the carfax? now the car you want and the history you need are easy to find. show me used minivans with no reported accidents. boom. love it.

nuclear sites. todd: this olive branch coming as president trump prepares for high stakes meeting with dictator kim jong un. abby: gillian turner is live with the breaking news happening at this hour. good morning. >> good morning, guys. just hours ago in a major turn around by north korea's kim jong un, he issued a statement. it reads, in part. under the proven condition of complete nuclear weapons, we no longer need any nuclear tests, hid range and intercontinental ballistic rocket tests and northern areas completed its mission. president trump weighed in shortly thereafter with a tweet. he said, quote: north korea has agreed to suspend all nuclear tests and close up a major test site. this is very good news for north korea and the world. big progress. look forward to our summit. so, this morning, all signs point to a go for the trump-kim meeting. things are looking up for the president's plan to try and strike a deal that none of his predecessors have yet

been able to do successfully. these developments all come just six days before kim is slated to meet with his own south korean counterpart, president moon and weeks before the highly anticipated face-off with president trump. this week the white house in concert with the intelligence community and state department are working furiously behind the scenes to get the nuts and bolts of this meeting locked down. guys? ed: all right. a lot coming up. jillian? abby: this initially is good news and good must for president trump showing direct engagement and tough talk is actually benefiting him. we don't know ultimately where this will go. we listen to the experts on this. general jack keane is one of them. he talks about how positive this is moving and it's moving in the right direction. here's what he said. >> this is really moving in a positive direction. and the signs are getting more and more positive. i mean, we could be on the cusp, frankly, of the most significant diplomatic achievement sings the

marshall plan post world war ii. i think this is really about president trump and his policy. he wanted maximum pressure on the regime i think because of the way president trump has conducted himself and some of it is rhetoric, some of it is mostly it's policy actions and how he has dealt with syria twice in making strikes there he has got this guy's attention in a sense that he is serious about if you close the door on the united states, president trump may, in fact, pull the trigger on you in terms of a military option. he has never felt that kind of pressure before. ed: jack keane has been consistent in saying that for a long time. you know who has not been consistent is the president's critics who say last summer when the president was really turning up the rhetoric and talking about, you are going to face fire and fury from the u.s. and its allies. abby: remember that? his critics were going crazy saying is he starting a war. ed: what the president did with that tough talk is show

kim jong un he was going to back it up. todd: some of those people called him out is backtracking or at the very least supporting advances with north korea. cnn will had this to say did north korea. take a listen. >> this is an extraordinary development and frankly a huge win for president trump going in to these discussions, these -- this potential summit with north korea leader kim jong un. todd: scope of history appeasing does not work. example a, world war ii. we saw it then. president trump is demonstrating force to the world and the world is recognizing it. ed: it takes a lot for cnn to say you know what? that's a win for the president. abby: what else are you going to say though. this is a direct example of when diplomacy can work. you look at what has played out in the middle east last couple decades. we have been at war with the middle east. no one wanted to go to war with north korea. this is when diplomacy can work to our advantage. we will see how this continues to play out. kim jong un spoke to his party yesterday, for him it's a win-wins a well.

i have delivered from my dad and grand dad. we have build up our nuclear program, but at the same time, we can open up to the west. they have been sanctioned so hard as you said, ed, that the president was criticized for how he handled it late last year but those sanctions have left that country starving. ed: when jack keane says this could be the greatest diplomatic achievement. he could win the nobel peace prize: could you imagine his critics their heads exploding if that happened. abby: we will see where this goes from here. mike pompeo just went over to north korea to meet with kim jong un. they are still deciding on whether they wants him for secretary of state. ed: talk about the president's critics and heads exploding. james comey all of a suddennen in hot water. and somebody who has been targeting the president, todd, with not just substantive attacks, but he has been caddie, james comey and talking about the president's skin tone and his hands and it's really blown up in his face. now, there is something much

more serious the idea that he may have broken the law with classified leaks. todd: for a lawyer to do what he did, especially a lawyer at the top of his profession running the fbi is shocking. in response, donald trump has tweet you had, james comey illegally leaked classified documents to the press in order to generate a special counsel. therefore, the special counsel was established based on an illegal act? really? does everybody know what that means? very interesting what the president is trying to say there. basically going to this law fruit of the poisonous tree. there is literally an entire subject in law called criminal procedure you study in law school that basically talktalks about about these very things. you had a great example in the 6 a. if i do illegal search of the car and find something that leads to a prosecution, in many instances that prosecution is done. could that be the case here? ed: here is why it matters. james comey, we have been told out "new york times" and others have reported for months that he wrote these seven memos, two of which apparently at least had

classified information because he'ed to get a record. he want to make sure that his story was consistent. he also wanted to lay the ground work for spownel to be named, abby. so, if that special counsel, robert mueller was named in part with a leak of classified information that broke the law, it's going to raise new questions. abby: probably not a time to be out there talking so openly about your book and about those memos as i refer to as his personal diary. that is going on. so many lawsuits going on i could not wrap my head around them. another one, the dnc is now suing the trump campaign, they are suing russia and they are suing weeks over what they say alleged -- suing wikileaks. i cannot wrap my head around. how do they sue a country? todd: e todd: tom perez, it's his suit, here is what he has to say about it. >> we want to second a very

very clear signal. if you want to mess with elections here there are going to be consequences. we are raising the kohl's of your interference. we know that this administration is putin's poodle. so they are not going to do anything. so we will continue to act. if you want to do that if you are going to punch us, we're going to punch back. that's what this lawsuit is about. we are protecting our democracy. when you go after the right to vote, when you go after the institution of elections, that is the essence of our democracy. so, this wasn't simply an attack on the dnc. this was an attack on our democracy. >> there is a very legal phrase we use to describe a lawsuit like this and it's called b.s. democrats are recognizing. a democrat from california on this quote, unquote, suit. >> i actually think this lawsuit is ill conceived. and i'm not very supportive of it. i think we have a very serious criminal activity underway in this country by

the russians and possibly by those within the trump campaign. and to make this political is actually the wrong thing to be doing. i'm not interested in a political tit-for-tat. i'm interested in getting to the truth. and if there is criminal conduct that has been engaged in, holding people accountable. todd: reaction from so many people from you and you is huh to this lawsuit. the lawsuits is about two things. one, they want to fund raise. they are trying to rile up their base to fund raise. and they are trying to get discovery on all this stuff. that could back fire because alan dershowitz is going to be here in a few minutes will explain discovery goes both ways. abby: the president can ask the dnc to open up some of the clinton emails. you remember that? ed: might not want to open the door to discovery. did the democrats try to rig the election? i thought hillary clinton was rigging it against bernie sanders according to bernie sanders. there is all kinds of questions from them. the president all along has said that the russia collusion narrative was a distraction and excuse for

why they lost the election, democrats. and here they are giving more fodder by saying we want to talk about russia instead of jobs, healthcare and all the other issues. abby: that's going to be their own problem the democrats when they go out to run for re-election. a lot of people do see this as not just caddie but desperate. because you see there are signs that the mueller probe is beginning to wind down. so they're wondering how do we keep this going? this has been our main narrative. ed: even democrats are saying not a good idea. abby: more. manhunt for cold blooded killer seen right there. intensifying at this hour. after he took off right before a jury found him guilty of murder. walking away during a lunch break at a courthouse in atlanta. he had been free on bond. he and another man convicted of shooting a 19-year-old college football player 50 different times. also this: the driver who packed dozens of illegals into a tractor-trailer so hot 10 of them died will spend the rest of his life behind bars.

still ongoing. the florida department of law enforcement is conducting their investigation and their facts haven't been released yet. as soon as that information is given and their investigation is concluded, that information will be pushed out at the appropriate time. ed: okay. we will let those facts come in. what we do know already is that police officers, law enforcement officials as you know better than i, have been targeted and are targeted every day. look at the numbers for this year alone. 22 officers killed. that's more than half the total number of police officers killed last year. more than half the total from last year already and we're not even halfway through this year. what do you think about this? it's been called a war on cops and there is really, sheriff, no other way to describe it. >> no, sir. i agree with you. you know, i like to tend to believe that there is way more good out there in our country than there is bad. but, unfortunately, we have those individuals and groups that want to demonize law

enforcement for no other reason because they can and it's appalling. when you have men and women willing to put their lives on the line for all of us that want to try to do good. do what they're supposed to be doing. and, in this case, sergeant ramirez and deputy lindsey were on lunch break doing nothing more than eating in their shift trying to protect people when this coward did what he did. ed: you talk about the good that can come from a tragedy. we have a friend that runs the tunnels to towers. he lost his own brother, a firefighter on 9/11. is he going to be on "fox & friends" tomorrow. i spoke to him yesterday. i don't know if you know this yet, sheriff, frank called me and said that his group is going to raise money for these two deputies that were killed. they like to go and try to pay off the mortgages for their family. maybe help with scholarships for any children. can you talk briefly about their families and i see

there are cards behind you. can you talk about the outpouring of support you are getting. >> the outpouring from the community and from the state has been tremendous. very small community. we live in a county of around 18,000 people. our department is roughly 65 people. so everybody knows everybody in this community by first name. i know noel and taylor personally. we participated in the police law enforcement olympics a while back. i know them off duty and on duty. talk about men of character, men of integrity. men of loyalty. men that want to do the right thing. i couldn't say enough good things about those two individuals to even do them a little bit of justice. ed: sheriff, we can't say enough good about them and about you and your force and law enforcement officials all across the country. we are with you and support you and thinking about you in this very difficult time, sir. >> thank you. and, again, god bless you. i do want to tell everybody

inflamed because of the death of a 15-year-old boy apparently by israeli forces. four weeks running palestinians when friday prayers let out they gather at the fence that separates israel from gaza. they try to approach or swarm the fence. when they get too close israeli troops does open fire. israel does use crowd disperse sal like tear gas and bullets. oftentimes they use lethal rounds. four killed yesterday. 100 wounded including the boy we are talking about. mohammed muab. some are claiming is he only 14 years old. hamas is to blame because they use women and children as human shields. american envoys jason greenblatt tweet add full investigation by israel of mohammed aub's death is underway as we mourn the tragic loss of young life. we must resolve to more suffering by responses to his death. something very interesting. palestinians are now using kites in border protests. we watched yesterday as they

launched a kite with a swastika on it the idea to fly the kite up over the fence crash it on the israeli side and start a fire. several kites flew over the border yesterday. the european union is calling on israel to refrain from using lethal rounds with these border demonstrations. chief negotiator for the palestinian side is calling for international body to investigate the israeli military and the death of this young boy. guys, back to you in new york. abby: scary times. mike tobin thanks so much. ed: meanwhile, back here at home the democrats might have a new party platform. if you can't beat them, sue them. abby: the dnc filing a lawsuit against the trump campaign, against russia and wikileaks. accusing all three of election interference. todd: joining us now with his reaction is alan dershowitz harvard law professor emeritus, lifelong democrat and author of "trumped up." you don't need to be alan dershowitz to see that this lawsuit is really very much. >> i have to acknowledge that i can represent julian assange and wikileaks for a short period of time some

years ago. i think it's a complicated lawsuit. i think it will be dismissed as to russia based on sovereign immunity. it will probably be dismissed as to the republican party based on political question. but it may go forward as to some of the alleged hackers. but, remember, there is reciprocal discovery. so the democrats will have to produce all the information about the dossier and about other attempts, maybe. you know, this really confirms what i have said from the beginning there should have been an objective, neutral bipartisan commission looking into the russian role in the election without pointing fingers. now we have partisan lawsuits and partisan attempts to get the president and get hillary. it's not going to get us the information we need. abby: speaking of, james comey, because he has been in the news with his book. the most recent news is the ig looking into his memos for classified info. and the reason this is important. because you remember back in his senate testimony, june 2017, he said he avoided classified material in those memos so that they

could be widely shared. so if they find something more real here, and he was dishonest in that hearing, how bad could that be for james comey. >> same thing. they were trying to put hillary clinton in jail because there may have been one or two classified pieces of information. now they will try to go after comey. the only first amendment case i ever lost to to my knowledge was i represented the former cia director who wrote a book called -- the government went after him, even though there was no classified information because they said the information was proprietary and he signed al won't be without approval of the cia. remember, comey is a leaker. we know that he leaked information and laundered it through a law professor, which is certainly not something any former head of the fbi should do. the job of the fbi is to stop leaks, not to promote them. ed: beyond comey, it seems like there may be a bigger question which is this whole rotten fruit principle i

have heard you talk about many times before. i'm not a lawyer but i'm going to let you handle the key. the key is that the president tweeted overnight that hang on a second. if comey broke the law, and by leaking classified information with these memos, with the stated goal of trying to get a special counsel named to investigate the president, is that now tainted? >> well, you know, the fruit of the poison tree is limited doctrine. it applies basically to illegal search and seizures. it's a real stretch. it's an interesting met for but it will not result in the dismissal of the special counsel. todd: so you are saying the horse is out of barn on this one. >> out of the barn for the moment. i think he is going back in the barn. as i said right from the beginning, i don't think the president has real worries about mueller and the investigation of alleged collusion or obstruction of justice. where he ought to be focusing his attention, i'm not his lawyer, but where he ought to be focusing his attention new york, cohen, whether he flips, whether he sings, whether he come opioids, that's the fear. if you are innocent, don't worry about a singer.

but even if you are innocent you have to worry about a composer. someone who creatively collaborates on a story. ed: what about rudy giuliani. >> that's a great idea. rude and i have fought each other for years. he was always a prosecutor i was a defense. he is a yankee and i'm a red sox fan. todd: that's just mean to ed and i. >> i always wear this tie. i wore it today to remind rude that we stilruderudy that e differences between us. abby: new to give him your own thoughts, you say sit back, let all this play out. enough is enough. you don't have to do anything? >> absolutely. don't tweet. don't pardon. don't fire and don't testify and i think you will be fine. todd: mr. dershowitz always a pleasure. ed: mayor giuliani if you want to defend and defend the yankees. todd: a fox news alert now. north korea suspending

is going on right now with north korea. where does that stand? does this help him? >> i believe it does. and i also believe that he can be one of the greatest secretaries of state that our nation has ever seen. there is no good reason not to confirm mike pompeo. he is extraordinarily talented. first in his class at west point. harvard law school. active duty in the military. a great member of congress. a great cia director. and he is in a unique position to help get it over the fence line. abby: frustrating that the republicans run the senate and still he can't get through? questions about it. >> it is frustrating. i would encourage rand paul to be supportive of mike pompeo. even if rand paul wouldn't pick mike pompeo to be his own secretary of state, mike pompeo is not being nominated to be rand paul's secretary of state. it's to be donald trump's secretary of state. todd: it seems to me you have a quarterback take your team to the championship

game and might bench him in the super bowl. this is the number one issue, potentially, facing the united states resolving the north korea problem. and we're going to bench our quarterback? that makes no sense. >> no doubt. and i was looking at some of the traffic on twitter a little bit earlier today. abby: that's a dangerous place. >> you know what's frustrating? seeing people -- it's okay if you want to oppose the -- you don't want to vote for the president last time. maybe you won't vote for him next time but to actually root against president trump. to be actively trying to obstruct mike pompeo getting confirmed. all the democrats opposing for no good reason. almost like they are taking north korea's side. have you senile it where sometimes they are caught rooting against the economy going well. or rooting for iran against the united states. it's okay to be, you know, opposed and to try to be scon struckive with it. ed: constructive.

people are letting their hair on fire. i want the president to be successful and get this over the finish line. we should be helping him. giving him all the tools he needs to be successful. abby: appreciate you coming in. >> thank you. abby: other headlines we are following this morning. listen carefully, throw out all romaine lettuce. that's the urgent warning from the cdc, massive e.coli outbreak started in arizona got bigger. 53 people from coast to coast have gotten sick. were now covers all forms of romaine including whole heads and hearts. health officials also say avoid eating it at restaurants for now. yikes. well, incredible video showing a dramatic rescue in below freezing blood waters in montana. see a woman trapped inside of her vehicle see it sinking very fast. two heroic brothers at the right place at the right time. one of them without hesitation putting his own life on the line jumping into action. see him swimming to the car

and bringing that woman safely back to shore. good for him. patriotic video going viral a little boy thinking is he opening a present from his father in qatar. but the real surprise is just around the corner, watch. daddy! daddy. [sobbing] daddy. i missed you. abby: how sweet is that, that a senior master sergeant mark coffelt you will the reunion. he has been serving for the past 8 months. todd: i get chills every single time one of those videos airs. ed: still to come. lee greenwood, you love him, march sadz schlapp michelle

malkin and geraldo rivera. todd: against lower taxes is it really a winning strategy? charles payne is coming up the stepping. is he going to shake abby's hand. well, like most of you, i just bought a house. -oh! -very nice. now i'm turning into my dad. i text in full sentences. i refer to every child as chief. this hat was free. what am i supposed to do, not wear it? next thing you know, i'm telling strangers defense wins championships. -well, it does. -right? why is the door open? are we trying to air condition the whole neighborhood? at least i bundled home and auto on an internet website, progressive.com. progressive can't save you from becoming your parents, but we can save you money when you bundle home and auto. i mean, why would i replace this? it's not broken. i mean, why would i replace this? so we swapped your car out for the all-new chevy travyes.. do you think it's going to surprise your daughter? absolutely.

wait, is mom here yet? where's mom? she's in this car. what the heck? whoa. yo, whose car is this? this is the all-new chevy traverse. this is beautiful. it has apple carplay compatibility. do those apps look familiar? ohhhhh. do you want to hit this button? there's a hidden compartment. uhh, whoa. mom, when i'm older can you buy me this car? i wanna buy me this car. i thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohn's disease. then i realized something was missing... me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems,

serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

todd: democrats have a bold plan for campaigning in 2018. they are going to campaign against lower taxes? >> want to invest in growing jobs. >> we'll look at some of those resources going to people who are not going to use them to grow the economy. >> raising the tax rate again on the highest income earners? >> i think certainly look to have revenues as opposed to simply creating more debt. >> revenues, that would be code for tax hikes.

that is tax hikes. the democrats also have a number of far left candidates proud to call themselves socialists. is this really a winning strategy for the mid terms? abby: host of making money on fbn. of course charles payne himself. >> i love the party of no debt. >> who wants to give back the no tax cuts. this person is getting more than you, it's unfortunate that we still have perhaps politics could still be effective. other than that it's nonsensical that anybody would say hey, i want to give back more money and increase hiring and increased wages and increase business investment. that's what's happening right now. only going to get better. abby: if the economy stays strong, if people feel like they have more money in their wallets, they are able

to pay for things to give their kids and their family a better life. what message do democrats then have to combat that? >> hey, have you more. but someone has a lot more, so, if you put me in office, i will find a way of getting that from this person and even trying to transfer the wealth back. listen, we want through 8 years of that so-called wealth transfer. we saw welfare go through the roof. we saw food stamps go through the roof. we were told it was a good thing. nancy pelosi says it has a multiplier effect. if someone gets a lot of food stamps. they will spend a lot of money. again, it's counter to everything that really made america the most amazing nation in the first place. particularly economically. it's -- it goes against the grain. entrepreneurship, creato craterd to all time low. success begets success. this momentum that we have. is not going to go away on its own. in fact, only going to get better. to have haded to with that in mind. bernie sanders has come out and said the trump agenda is

dead if the democrats win the mid terms. we have a full screen quote. if democrats control either the house or the senate trump's agenda is dead. the only problem with that comment is there is two problems. one can't predict the future and even if that does happen still k. still stock the federal. >courts. >> there he has been doing that successfully. one the large untold stories is removal of regulations first year in office. that was really destroying our country. i'm talking like farmers who would have dust particles or ponds being -- little puddles being considered ponds. over zealous, just nuts. we were in lock down. corporate america was in a fox hole waiting for all of this to go away. it's come out. starting to spend money. all the billions coming back from overseas, that's going to be plowed into the economy. some will be plow you had into the stock market which

by the way helps hundreds of millions of americans. helps conservative passengers, a 401(k) and anybody who works at a company that might need financial injection. abby: does that energize republicans? you listen to bernie sanders and the other person on cnbc there talking about raising taxes. steny hoyer, does that reenergize republicans? >> it should, listen, i talk about this in my show all the time. the messaging problem. todd: exactly. >> it seems pretty simplistic to me. you get to keep more of the hard earned money that you put your sweat and toil into. that's the bargain we have with you. do you like it? do you like the fact that your paycheck is getting bigger? do you like the fact you are getting raises. you drive around an dick totally if you keep us in office. do it and make it even better. todd: all about the messaging, charles payne. thank you very much. >> beware of those socialists. at least they're honest

about it. todd: coming up the body armor company taking the term made in america to heart. >> why does made in u.s.a. matter to you? >> pride. it's made in america. it's creating american jobs. todd: i'll take you inside out rma armament factory next hour. abby: look forward to that no surprise the sent troops to the border. what happens when they find former president obama did the same thing? next. >> i i just think we need to be compassionate towards other people. >> did you know president obama did the same move. >> did i not know that yeah, that's kind of surprising. in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. if his denture can cope with... a steak. luckily for him, he uses super poligrip.

it helps give him 65% more chewing power. leaving brad to dig in and enjoy. super poligrip.

abby: welcome back. college students slamming president trump's order to

deploy the national guard to the border. watch this. >> do you support sending troops down to the border? >> three knows. >> it's totally uncalled for act of power. >> definitely disprove. i don't know. i think it just puts a bad light on america. abby: well, guess what happens when those students realize president obama did the exact same thing? joining us now is media director at campus reform.org cabot phillips. cabot. always good to see you. >> great to be here. it's about what you would expect though at this point when people have been so conditioned to think any time they hear president trump they have oppose it. must be horrible, must be racist. it's not logic. you should be able to go into it with an open mind. especially the people that consider themselves open mind you had. see what happens when we tell them president obama did the exact same thing a few years beforehand. >> you know that president obama did the exact same

thing when he was president? like. >> honestly i'm not super up to date with all of this. i didn't know that so -- i just think we need to be like compassionate towards other people. >> did you know that president obama did the same move. >> did i not know that. >> that's surprising. >> yeah. yeah that's kind of surprising. >> yeah? abby: cob bottom. you really pull out some interesting sides of people. >> well, it's about trying to get them to have a debate. and trying to get them to see both sides. we know they are not going to get it in the classroom. we see this at the leadership institute campus reform. students to convinced that anything with president obama has to be good. if it's trump it has to be bad. if they are not going to get a discussion going in the classroom we will try to get them to think critically. >critically. todd: colleges and universities were liberal. when ed and i were going to school in the dark ages. that said, the diversity of opinion was at least there

allowed to discuss these things. now you can't do it without being labeled a racist. >> students are afraid they are going to get called out by piers and professors. they give precanned answers. they have to prove look, i'm on your side, i'm on the side fascist trump. makes everyone less intelligent when you can't have a debate. don't agree with anyone on any issue. at least have a debate know why you believe what you believe. dangerous trend people stand by opinions as long as it's associated by a certain name or certain party. that's dangerous for the future of our country. ed: in fairness, do you think these students might have been distracted bye bye byr biceps. ed: i'm sorry, i don't know what you are talking about. abby: i'm surrounded by these men. what am i going to do with myself. ed: cabot flips. thank you u appreciate it. james comey, have you heard he has a book out? it's in full swing.

>> he tweeted at me probably 50 times. i have been gone for a year, i'm like a breakup he can't get over. he wakes um in the morning. ed: what do voters think about his comments? we have the dials you will only see here exclusively. abby: michelle malkin, mercedes schlapp and our own geraldo rivera all here live. we have two more big hours of "fox & friends." don't go away. ♪ it's a beautiful day ♪ and i can't stop myself from smiling ♪ if i'm i'm drinking ♪ then i'm buying ♪ and i know there's no denying ♪ but what a powerful life lesson. and don't worry i have everything handled. i already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. which is so smart on your guy's part. like fact that they'll just... forgive you... four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident.

abby: major progress with north korea. the communist country putting its missile testing on hold. and the president tweeting this is very good news for north korea and the world. big progress. >> there's no question this is unprecedented. you have to have that iron fist and a velvet glove and guess what? it's worked. it's brought kim to the

table. >> dnc decided to sue the trump campaign, sue russia and sue wikileaks. >> to come and make up these excuses why democrats lost is pathetic. they had a bad message. they had a bad candidate. they are the ones that colluded with the russians. ed: james comey initially now under investigation. >> comey is a he can lehr. we know he leaked information and laundered it through a law professor which is certainly not something any former head of the fbi should do. >> it looks like i will not be able to be home for your birthday. so i hope this will do. daddy! abby: that's how we do

things on the weekend go big or go home. that's why you guys are always invited back going big u. todd: this hour will be huge. abby: great to be with you. ed: what's also growing and really big right now. todd's fan club. apparently there is a group of people in jupiter florida, they hold up pictures of todd and post them on social media. they are known aspire romaine yacks? abby: can i count them. 1, 2, 3. have you five fans. todd: these are the only five fans that aren't named piro. so thank you friends in jupiter. abby: i love that you look really good in that photo. todd: for the rest of the country if you can find two people interested i will send you head shots. ed: anyone out there friend of todd. todd: feel like an x coming up from audio. ed: expand the piro maniac? abby: how high we are at five. todd: can we get 12?

abby: friends @foxnews.com. if you are a fan of todd piro. all right. thank you very much. todd: we have a lot of serious news as well. making funnel of me but a lot of serious news. abby: start with the fox news alert. it is the start of the deal. north korea suspending their missile testing closing nuclear tests as president trump touts big progress. here is what he tweeted directly about that ed. ed: the president said north korea has agreed to suspend all nuclear tests and close up a major test site. this is very good news for north korea and the world. big progress, look forward to our summit. a message from kim jong un, quote: north korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles. also, they are going to shut down a nuclear test site, on the country's northern side to prove the vow to suspend nuclear tests. progress being made for all. if you think, todd, where we were 6, 8, 10 months ago when the president was taking on kim jong un. giving him nicknames.

abby: getting criticized. ed: bringing us to the brink of nuclear war. in fact it looks like the president is bringing us to the brink of peace. todd: remember over the course of easter weekend, mike pompeo currently the cia director up for secretary of state went over there. they had a meeting. my guess is that some time during that meeting, a little force was shown and now you have a situation where north korea is doing two things. the president summed it up fairly well. one, going to hold off on ballistic missiles, starting today. and, two, one of major nuclear areas general rating nuclear materials shutting down. keep in mind this is the same area that didn't have such a stellar record following the hydrogen bomb test. it was severely damaged in that bomb test let's not spike the football just yet. can't say this facility is not going to be used. taking a positive are deciding to shut it down for now. >> good news as we have been hearing from a lot of experts on this for president trump. but most importantly for the world. this is an example of

potentially diplomacy working out and using direct engagement and tough talks to make that progress. ed: general jack keane said last night on fox with shannon bream saying if it works and we still have to be skeptical. there is still a lot more hard work to be done. general keene says this would be the biggest diplomatic achievement sings the marshall plan in world war ii. huge, big stakes. think about last year. when all of the president's critics lined up and said he is leading us to nuclear war. watch how ridiculous it got. >> tweets like this essentially pour gasoline on that blaze. president trump is goading kim jong un to test a nuclear missile. >> i do worry about what his boiling pope benedict might be in the face of some of these inflammatory tweets and statements that the president makes. >> this is just how the snow ball effect starts. wars are very easy to get into. it gets nasty really quickly. >> none of this normal.

none of this acceptable. none of it, frankly, stable behavior. abby: here we are and north korea has announced it is freezing its nuclear program. we will see how it plays out, but president trump says that they are still looking forward to meet with president kim jong un. as you said most recently mike pompeo was recently over there things have been going on the past six months or so to get to this point right here. tapping win for the world but also north korea sees it as a win for them. if you heard kim jong un speaking to his party yesterday. has now succeeded in exactly what his dad and grand dad wanted. they have now built up their nuclear program. they did hang with the big boys on the nuke stage and also open up the western world. ed: think about james clapper there in montage director of national intelligence in october not that long ago saying this is going to be a disaster. this can't possibly work. abby: what do they say now? i would love to hear all of those folks. todd: this guy knows what he is talking about. he explained how this is a real big win for trump

policies going forward. >> huge. i mean, there is no question this is unprecedented. the bottom line is no one was expecting anything good to come of president trump's fiery rhetoric except people who understanding that diplomacy works better with a credible threat of military force backing it up. that's the reality. you have to have that iron fist and a velvet glove. guess what? it's worked. it's brought kim to the table in ways none of president trump's predecessors were able to do. this is a win for president trump's policies. todd: let's sum it up. decades of no progress. one year, less than a year progress. abby: well, we will see how all of this plays out. i think whether you are republican or democrat. you have got to say this could potentially be very good for everyone involved. because no one wants to go to war with north korea. todd: nope. ed: president's critics may have been losing their mind about the president's victory. also wondering what they

think of james comey who has been on the attack against the president. suddenly being on defense. now it turns out the inspector general at the justice department is investigating, yes, not the president but james comey for allegedly leaking classified information in some of those memos that he put together to try and lay the groundwork for special counsel robert mueller being named. well, the president is now jumping on that investigation, tweeting overnight, james comey illegally leaked classified documents to the press in order to generate a special counsel. therefore, the special counsel was established based on an illegal act. really? does everybody know what that means? abby: this is why it's important. you remember james comey testified under the -- in the senate back in june 2017, he said he avoided using classified material for his memos so they could be widely shared. so if they then find, i think they already have there is classified information in these memos, in the seven total memos handed over to seven congressional committees according to our own

catherine herridge. 8 of the 15 pages have redactions under classified. this could be a big deal for james comey. we had allen dershowitz on the show last half hour. here is what he said about that. >> i think comey has some vulnerability there particularly if there? i classified material. remember, comey is a leaker. we know that he leaked information and laundered it through a law professor. which is certainly not something any former head of the fbi should do. the job of the fbi is to stop leaks, not to promote them. todd: guys, what i can't wrap my head around. let's take a step back. james comey at some point was a really good lawyer. you don't rise to the level of fbi director without being a really good lawyer. so, why would he do the insane things he did which quite frankly if you hear all the legal scholars talk about it, he could be in real serious trouble. it has to be because he has never faced a loss before in his life. ed: it might be trump derangement syndrome. put a finer point on it

james comey may have an andrew mccabe problem his number two at the fbi. they are at odds over who said what. what is not at odds that they he can both leaked and now maybe, maybe they both lied about it. let's not forget the big development this week. andrew mccabe, the former number two at the fbi now has criminal charges referred to the u.s. attorney in washington. another big story, the dnc now suing the trump campaign, suing russia, and suing wikileaks over alleged election interference. i thought we had gotten past the last election, apparently we haven't. abby: some lawsuits going around i cannot keep it straight. yesterday might have been the most surprising of all coming from the dnc. suing the trump campaign. how do you sue a country? ed: some democrats are saying it doesn't make sense. abby: that's whether you have an issue when democrats say i don't want to be part of this. trey gowdy was on last night. here is what he had to say about this dnc lawsuit. >> the better suit is bernie sanders suing the dnc for conspiring to give her the nomination. that would be a very interesting lawsuit.

but, there is no evidence of collusion. i know adam schiff wants there to be. i know how desperately he wants there to be. but there is just no evidence of collusion. so, if they want to sue russia, that's fine. i actually would premiere th -- preferthe indictments thar has against him as opposed to a lawsuit. if they're upset with wikileaks, so aim. if they are upset with julian assange so am i. this is no evidence of collusion. it's ploy or effort to get people in civil court depose them and learn what mueller is learning and use them for political purposes. todd: much of it will lead to civil discovery on both sides. also, the bar in the civil case is much lower than a criminal case. something to keep in mind throughout this process that will lead to the. ed: president was tweeting yesterday this could open the door to discovery where the pucks can try to finally get the dnc server and say, was it hacked? was it, what? there is a lot the dnc may not want.

abby: might just be the beginning of that one. todd: as if you don't have enough news. abby: speaking of news i have other headlines i want to bring you starting with serious one. the manhunt for a cold blooded killer intensifying at this hour after he took off right before a jury found him guilty of murder. this man investor lan verlane l. he and another man convicted of shooting another college football player 50 times. we may never know why a man shot two sheriff deputies in colorado. john highnote walked inside ambushing the deputies at point blank range before taking his own life. bobby schultz joined us earlier on the show saying the nationwide attack on our boys in blue needs to stop. >> it's appalling when we have men and women put their lives on the line for all of us that want to try to do

good. do what they're supposed to be doing. abby: so well said. sergeant ramirez a seven year law enforcement veteran leaves behind a wife and two kids. deputy sheriff taylor lindsey serving on the force for three years. so heart breaking. also, this the caravan packed with my grants hoping to get into the u.s. have reached the border. some have been turned away while others are waiting for more backup to arrive to seek asylum. the care van from mexico initially consisted of 1500 people. most ditching that plan after president trump called them out. the commander-in-chief also beefing up security deploying the national guard to protect the border. and those are some of your headlines. todd: coming up, the liberal professor under fire for celebrating barbara bush's death now sparking more outrage. listen to this. todd: even though a lot of the farmers now are trump supporters and just [bleep] stupid. abby: wow. >> that's just some of it. more of that shocking new

video just ahead. >> plus james comey's media blitz rolls on. what do the voters think? are they fed up with comey? we have the dials you will only see here. >> he has tweeted at me probably 50 times. i have been gone for a year. i'm like a breakup he can't get over. he wakes up in the morning. ♪ [burke] at farmers, we've seen almost everything

so we know how to cover almost anything. even "close claws." [driver] so, we took your shortcut, which was a bad idea. [cougar growling] [passenger] what are you doing? [driver] i can't believe that worked. i dropped the keys. [burke] and we covered it. talk to farmers, we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪

they feel that they have to drink patients that i see that complain about dry mouth a lot of water. medications seem to be the number one cause for dry mouth. dry mouth can cause increased cavities,

bad breath, oral irritation. i like to recommend biotene. biotene has a full array of products that replenishes the moisture in your mouth. biotene definitely works. it makes patients so much happier. [heartbeat] todd: it was a busy week in politics. aren't they all at this point? and no one has a better idea of the pulse of our nation than our next guest. lee carter a polster and partner with maslansky and partners. and she put this week's biggest moments to the dial test. great to have you back. >> great to be here. todd: we looked at three sound bite earlier. look at three different ones, we begin with stephen

colbert's show. mr. comey was on there and describing president trump as a crazy ex. take a listen. >> he has tweeted at me probably 50 times. i have been gone for a year i'm like a breakup he can't get over. is he wakes up in the morning. i am living my best life and he wakes up in the morning and tweeting at me. todd: is he a comedian. >> he is republicans hated it they gave it an f. democrats independents a c. democrats an a. completely disenfranchised don't know what to believe. the fact he went on colbert made self-serving and less credible. todd: that's a great point. the independents are the ones that win you and lose you elections, right? >> they are swinging going back and forth in the polls because they don't know what to believe. todd: trend continues with the mob boss comment. comparing president trump to

right now there is a lot of damage being done by a lot of people. todd: brave men and women of the fbi are keeping this country safe from really bad forces. when you have the top, the former top acting like this. you are 100 percent right it is frightening. >> i want to be clear people do like the fbi agents. it's the leadership they are not trusting. todd: understood. from james comey let's go to the president's sound bite u he is willing to walk away from that big meeting coming up with kim jong un, take a listen. >> i will be meeting with kim jong un in the coming weeks to discuss the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. hopefully that meeting will be a great success and we're looking forward to it. it would be a tremendous thing for north korea and a tremendous thing for the world. we have never been in a position like this with that regime. if i think that it's a meeting that is not going to be fruitful, we're not going to go. if the meeting, when i'm

there, is not fruitful, i will respectfully leave the meeting. >> look, trump won on tax reform and he is winning again on his policies on north korea. republicans gave this an a plus. independents a b. and even democrats gave a c. this is a victory for us. if this north korea deal is made. if he walks away. if he carries the strength that he is talking about. this is going to be a shining moment for the president and that's something i would be worried about as a democrat going into 2020. todd: that sign, the c there is a sign to the democrats you have got to watch this separation with the mike pompeo nomination. >> no question. todd: lee, thank you very much. new york governor andrew cuomo taking pandering to a new level saying is he undocumented daring ice to deport him. michelle malkin has a reality check for the democrat coming up. plus, a body armor company taking the term made in america to heart. i will take you inside the armament factory next. >> why does made in u.s.a. matter to you?

>> we want to accepted a very, very clear signal. if you want to mess with elections here, there are going to be consequences. we are raising the cost of your interference. we know that this administration is putin's poodle. and so they are not going to do anything. so we will continue to act. if you want to do that. if you are going to punch us, we're going to punch back. and that's what this lawsuit is about. we are protecting our democracy. when you go after the right to vote. when you go after the institution of elections, that is the essence of our democracy. so this wasn't simply an attack on the dnc. this was an attack on our democracy. todd: what's your reaction to this use of judicial resources? >> yeah. i think this lawsuit is a very cynically and expeed yengtly timed distraction, squirrel, if it was any animal it would be a squirrel. look, look, look somewhere else. and it is litigation that is designed to take attention away from the dnc's own

culpability. it is kitchen sink lawsuit. it's not just that everybody and their mother and the stage manager is thrown into it every type of charge is thrown into there as well. they site everything from computer fraud and abuse to ricco laws laws and statutes the digital copyright act. there are far more dangerous actions and inactions that the dnc has been involved in regarding meddling by foreign hackers, how abouter yuan brother. gotten so little attention. thanks to daily caller. they had a hearing on it last week and of course the dnc has been silent. i myself had exacted several

of the offices of house democrats who had employed those people and none of them would get back to me on basic questions, including how these people got here in the first place. and that is what this kind of lawsuit intends to distract from. abby: all right. well, take a listen to governor cuomo. he has been saying a lot of things as of lately. he now knows what it's like, michelle, to be a woman, for example. take a listen to this. >> i'm an italian american. i came from poor italian americans who came here. do you know what they call italian americans back in the day? they called them who's. do you know what it stood for? without papers. i'm undocumented. you want to deport an undocumented person, start with me. because i'm an undocumented person. >> do you know what reminds me of michelle remember that moment during the campaign when hillary clinton was on the radio show and tried to reflect african-american

community talked about carrying hot sauce in her purse. that inauthenticity. that reminded me of those moments on the campaign trail for hillary. >> that is a good memory. abby: i didn't forget it. >> i remember also when hillary clinton and some of these other democrats, of course, would adopt the vernacular and try to imitate what they thought was an authentic accent. so i think that might be the next thing that we are going to see from governor cuomo. he has identified himself, remember, as a muslim, a just, a gay, a woman, and now undocumented. i think that he will soon be identifying himself as unemployed if he keeps up identity politics radicalism. abby: of course cynthia nixon raising a lot of money. is this a sign he is concerned about her. >> possibly. i don't understand how pandering even more to the left and then circumstantial

inviting a backlash because is he such a phony. is he laughing stock, left, right and center in new york now. there is a serious point i want to make here, too. because is he proclaiming himself undocumented at the very time that the consequences of illegal immigration are becoming very obvious to people regardless of their partisanship. is he doing this at a time when ms-13 has just put out a hit and assassination orders on every cop in new york? i mean, it is so out-of-touch. and it shows you the moral and ideological bankruptcy, not just of the governor of new york but the entire democrat party. ed: if he starts saying he wants to identify the miranda. >> samantha. ed: charlotte. abby: come on, guys. ed: certainly not mr. big though. todd: staying away from that rick reichmuth. thank you, michelle. rick reichmuth is doing our weather.

north korea putting its nuclear missile testing on hold. is this north korea pause proof that the president's rhetoric might be working. here to debate is david that if yoif youtafuri. great to have you both here. >> thank you. abby: morgan, get your thoughts. is this a sign tough rhetoric and engagement of the president has been criticized for over the past few months is working? >> i don't think it's only the tough rhetoric. it's also the unprecedented economic sanctions that the trump administration pursued at the united nations. so i think it's a combination of all of these. one thing that we should all remember is that kim jong un is a liar and a cheat, right? this is not a stable regime. we have to do what president reagan said which is trust but verify. i think that it feels different going back to the clinton we have had these talks in north korea. make tons of promises.

start launching missiles again. it's going to take a while to see if this is going to work in the long term. if they are going to actually denuclearize. i think it feels different this time. it feels like we have actually made some unprecedented diplomatic progress so far and i think the big meeting with south korea and north korea next week could lead to the end, official end of the north korean war. abby: david, you worked under the oden obama obama administration. does president trump deserve any credit here? >> this is very encouraging progress. and, yes, i think trump and pompeo deserve to be congratulated. however, it's not yet time for a victory party. here's why. the north korean leader has agreed to pause. but he has done pauses before in nuclear testing. the north korea test in 2006, they paused for three years. they tested again in 2009. they paused for four years. they paused again in 2013. and three years later they started testing again in 2016 and 2017. we have a history of pauses.

however, this is very encouraging. in particular, because he has said he is going to halt not just the nuclear testing, but also the long-range icbm missiles. but, there is also things he has not said. he has not said he is going to halt mid range missiles. those are the types of missiles that can hit south korea and japan, our allies. moreover, we don't know yet what the u.s. has agreed to give up. we have certainly given up something to north korea. in particular, north korea wants us to take our troops off the korean peninsula. i hope we have not given any insurances of that yet. so we have to wait to find out what the u.s. is going to give in return from the north korean leader to make these compromises for us. abby: still more to come. morgan, quickly is this when diplomacy can be a good thing. >> diplomacy is always good. it can only be effective, abby, whenever you have the real credible threat of force. whenever these rogue regimes realize they are dealing with someone who is not going to tolerate their behavior.

i think david made a great point bringing up pompeo. this is why he should be confirmed immediately. the president sent him over. when you look at the president's rhetoric and look at the unprecedented economic sanctions and look at the success of pompeo as to why the president needs a secretary of state and why he should be confirmed immediately. thank you both for being with us this morning. such an important top ping. coming up on the show mercedes schlapp, dan bongino and lee greenwood looking forward to what he has to say and geraldo rivera and dana perino. we have a big hour to go live on "fox & friends." plus, the weather is warming up. is it really? but your lawn, is it ready to go for that warm weather? rick and todd are checking out some of the top mowers on our plaza this morning. that is coming up next. you don't want to miss it ♪ but what a powerful life lesson.

got a washout port can you clean the deck and blades with garden hose. rick: what about the toro. >> unique feature stored on its side upright without gas or oil spilling out of it tight on space in the garage, can you just collapse it down and put it away. rick: that's amazing. >> it is. big new trend in lawn mowers is electric. electric mower, $400. little bit more money than a lot of lawn mowers, over time you will pay for it with savings and gas. rick: does this hold a charge or do you have to have an extension cord. >> this holds a charge. comes with two batteries. it is true that there were once upon a time plug in electric mowers. todd: can i be a child and hop on this thing again. >> this is what everybody dreams about. if you have a half acre of grass or more you want a riding mower. john deere does extremely well in our test.

one of the most reliable brands. rick: forever and ever. >> this one is pricy 3200 bucks. >> it's a lot of money. have a serious yard and be very serious about yard care before you spend that. rick: this is serious. >> this is pretty serious, too. this is like the convertible or the sports car of lawn mowers, toro time cutter. zpr zero turn radius. control the mower with two paddles. turn in place zip around your yard and feels like you are going down. rick: do you know anything about snow blowers still people using those? that will be the next seeing. sorry to do that to you? >> thank you. rick: thank you so much. >> absolutely, guys. todd: still ahead, mercedes schlapp, dan bongino, lee greenwood and geraldo rivera. and of course dana perino life from the barbara bush funeral all here coming up next. ♪ hi, i'm liz tryon.

nuclear sites, president trump calling it big progress tweeting he's looking forward to his high stakes face to face meeting with dictator kim jong-un. ed: the two of course expected to talk about further isolation for the hermit kingdom getting rid of its nukes altogether and the testing has stopped effective immediately. the rogue nation also vowing to engage in conservation with its neighbors to secure peace in the korean peninsula and that's why we're bringing in mercedes schlapp from the white house. mercedes i remember it wasn't too long ago that a whole bunch of critics were saying his rhetoric is dangerous, he's bringing us to nuclear war and now it looks like we're at the b rink of peace. >> it clearly shows president trump's division in focusing on de nuclearizing north korea, making sure there's stability in the region that that is actually becoming reality. what we're seeing right now is that this maximum pressure campaign that the president has

put on north korea has basically had "the rock"" man, north korean dictator, step back and he's stealing feeling the impact of these economic sanctions and remember this wasn't just president trump doing this alone this is working with global allies and we just saw president trump with prime minister abbey from japan that basically talking about this issue of north korea and saying we need to move forward to ensure there's stability in the region and it's working and put it in historically contest, that past administration going back for president obama after president bush and there was concessions made without any real progress and right now what we're seeing is real progress with making north korea denuclearization north korea. abby: well the president has not been doing this alone with a lot of good help one being mike pompeo head of the cia.

now going through the nomination process of running the state department questions as to whether he can get through. what is the white house's statement on how that's going and whether or not this progress with north korea might help move things along for mike pompeo? >> well i think what we're see ing in the actions in north korea is why we quickly need mike pompeo to be confirmed as secretary of state. the mere fact that these democrats, many of them, are still saying they're opposing mike pompeo, someone whose highly qualified, someone who as we saw went over to north korea to have these very high level talks, bring fourth a diplomatic solution in addition to this maximum pressure campaign to north korea. i think shows that he needs to be confirmed immediately. i just don't understand why the democrats continue to resist on every single action that president trump does. i mean, mike pompeo was voted in

as cia director with both republican and democrats both, and historically, there's bipartisan support when it cops to the secretary of states. we know that for hillary clinton , john kerry, they were voted in with both republicans and democrats, because why? because you know that the president needs the most highly qualified individuals to serve in these critical positions and that is why i find it to be just so disheartening when you hear some of these democrats saying they're opposing mike pompeo whose incredibly qualified for this job. ed: mercedes i want to double down on the historic nature of what has happened over the course of the last 48 hours. this is a regime that for decade s we have been unable to really get to, to speak to that. we sent dennis rodman, ha ha, that's not serious but what we've done in the last 48 hours is real seer yup and could i don't want to say check off the box entirely but really eliminate one of the huge

foreign policy problems that this administration and quite frankly our entire country faces >> well there's no question and i think it really to the credit of president trump and his tough stance on north korea on basically saying you're going to have to make some fundamental changes. you're going to need to stop building these nuclear sites. you're going to need to allow south korea and the americans to be able to have these military exercises and it's because of the fact that he came up within his administration came up with a very sea-tac solution in ensuring there's this mark mum pressure campaign on north korea these economic sanctions are hurting that country and the mere fact that it wasn't done alone so i think it shows that president trump not only in his strong leadership in basically saying we're going to stabilize this region, put a focal point on north korea but also being a coalition builder in the meantime, working with allies to make sure that it was a concerted effort to stop

north korea from becoming an even more dangerous actor in the region and in the world. ed: mercedes i want to switch topics but real quickly are we narrowing down a timeframe? is it may or june when this summit will happen with kim jong-un and we've been hearing reports that switzerland might be a neutral site like that. >> we have no additional details at this tomb. time. we are looking forward to having a successful summit and obviously that's important is to make sure that both leaders are able to get to a strong solution we know right now with adding ambassador john bolton as our national security advisor who basically jumped right into the job has been a real asset in providing guidance. it's why we need mike pompeo to be confirmed immediately, having congress push that forward next week is going to be critical and having those players in place and moving forward on the summit to make sure that we again show

north korea that we're with this campaign that we've put on you. we expect changes, we are seeing changes but they got to keep true to their promise and that's the key. we're holding them accountable. ed: mercedes i mentioned some other news the president making news with tweets within the last half hour and the michael cohen case. among other things the new york times and a third rate reporter named maggie haberman, who i don't speak to and have nothing to do with are going out of their way to destroy michael cohen and his relationship with me and they use non-existent sources and a drunk drugged up loser who hates michael a fine person with a wonderful family. michael is a businessman for his own account, lawyer who i've always liked and respected. most people would flip if the government lets the amount of trouble even if it means lying or making up stories sorry i don't see michael doing that despite the horrible witch hunt. first of all we had alan dershowitz on just a few moments ago and the president tends to

listen what he has to say on tv and alan dershowitz said stop the tweeting about these legal cases so i ask you as a white house fish official why would the president engage where michael cohen's office and home had just been raided? >> well president trump is a fighter and you'll know his opinion and when it comes to michael cohen he's known michael cohen for a long time. he doesn't like that obviously you're seeing so much of this expansion going on with these raids and in these situations and so i think for the president , you know, he's going to talk about what he thinks and his opinion of that. ed: but does it make legal sense to get involved in this case? >> look, i'm not a lawyer. you'll have to ask his personal legal team. abby: because you look at andrew mccabe, james comey, the investigations now into them and the trouble they might be in as alan dershowitz said, he'd be better off just being silent letting this all play out and he doesn't have to do anything at all. >> look i think all have spent time with the president. he's going to state his opinion

on these matters. it would be for you to ask the president's personal team on that. what i can tell you is that the president obviously has a close relationship with michael cohen and i think that in his mind, he feels that this has been an unfair process what they've done to him but at the end of the day it's the president's opinion. todd: mercedes speaking of lawsuits the dnc is suing the trump campaign, russia, wikileaks, the sun, the moon, earth, venus, suing everybody for a bunch of different charges what does the white house say about this? >> well, i refer you to the trump campaign on that specifically but what i can tell you is that the democrats, they're policy deficient. what i don't understand is i'm trying to still figure out what their agenda is. if their agenda solely has been to obstruct the president and guess what despite what the left media has been pushing, what the democrats have been pushing against the president, this president has been incredibly successful. we have gone on the road with

the president just this week in florida and to hear the stories of these men and women who have been able to invest in their businesses, hire more employees, see the benefits that we have seen because of the tax cuts, because of the deregulation agenda that the president has put forth, because of the fact that we're now seeing a healthy booming economy that's what we're focused on. american families and what are the democrats trying to do? takeaway the tax cuts. they're trying to take away the economic benefits and guess what , trump, president trump trusts the people, not washington, not the democrat in ensuring that the people get the money that they need in order to have the economic success in their lives. abby: mercedes the point that the dnc makes about the lawsuit is it was disrupting democracy so can the president not turn that back around on them and dig up files from hillary clinton's e-mail? >> look, i think that the trump campaign this is a total sham. if that's the way they're going to go that's their perogative.

i think at the end of the day it just shows a bigger problem that the democrats have in general which is that of a lack of policy that helps to benefit american families. ed: mercedes schlapp we appreciate it and we've been mentioning by the way barbara bush's funeral down there in houston we'll have lee greenwood coming up he was a close friend and knew her for 30 years and so we'll be going to him. todd: looking forward to that also coming up the justice department watchdog now taking a closer look at james comey investigating his memos over classified information so what could all this mean for the fired fbi director? we'll ask you know the man, geraldo rivera just ahead. worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist.

abby: the world is coming together today to say goodbye to the bush family patriarch former first lady barbara bush will be laid to rest later today. todd: someone whose traveled the country and known barbara bush for over 30 years will be at today's funeral country music legend lee greenwood. ed: and he joins us live now from houston. lee it's so great to have you, i'm sorry that it's under these circumstances, but let's face it this is someone who even though she's passed, we genuinely are celebrating a life well lived

today aren't we? >> yeah, we certainly are and thank you very much for having me on the show to talk about this wonderful lady. i heard this morning earlier somebody had mentioned she was known as grace and grits. i love that, because she was solid. i first met her when we had a congressional appearance at the white house for the reagan administration and she was so genuinely warm with us. stern but warm and the thing you have to recognize that she has such resolve even though she was so wonderfully warm to people and she questioned her resolve, you would realize she was really meaning what she said. abby: some of the things she talked about most this week i advise everyone to read them just to remember her because there's so many fun stories advice about life, she talks about humor being so important in relationships and living a good life but also it's not about necessarily how you score on a test and how you do in your job every day it's how you treat people is the impact that you

have on people's lives that's how you'll be remembered. i wonder all of the time you spent with her the memories you have of her and the impact that she had on your life. >> yeah, that's a great point. and all of her sons they all say exactly the same thing. they repeat what she has said treat others like you want to be treated yourself. i toured with her for quite some time after 2001 across the nation and every soldier, she met she would shake hands look them straight in the eye and thank you thank you for your service and she was generally concerned about people and how they felt about themselves not just about us. we recently met again at the hurricane relief down in texas at texas a & m and she was the same as always. her and her husband were always giving. as you saw the president, the former president last night at the episcopal church actually went and greeted the mourners as they walked by and she was exactly like that. todd: lee we've heard amazing stories over the last couple of

days do you have any stories about barbara bush you'd like to share? >> you know, i had a theatre in east tennessee for five years and on the day of the opening my wife kim and i invited them to join us and they did, they flew in from houston and sat in the front row when i did my show nervous as a cat and they were so good to come up on stage at the end and i'm standing next to barbara bush. she is singing my song, god bless usa with me and i'm like this is really surreal, like oh, my gosh the first lady. abby: that's so powerful. ed: do you have a chance to sing today i know it's a private funeral but will you have a chance to sing or are you participating in any way? >> no i haven't been asked to sing. we are here just to say a final goodbye to a wonderful woman, a beautiful woman, who cared so much for her country a patriot. she loved her family and her husband bigger than the state of texas. abby: you know what if we can all live a life like barbara

bush to 92 years old, left such an impact on this world and as we're talking about all of us as well, and you, lee it's great to have you on this morning to get your personal perspective on barbara bush thank you so much and enjoy today. >> thank you. thank you so much. abby: i say it's a celebration because it really is. ed: still ahead the dnc suing team trump, russia, and more, over election interference. yes still talking 2016 but do they have a case? ban dan bongino and former hillary clinton advisor. abby: plus geraldo rivera, dana perino and neil cavuto, all live on the show i hope you're not going anywhere. more to come. >> ♪ ♪ great tasting, heart-healthy california walnuts. so simple, so good. get the recipes at walnuts.org.

the dnc filing a lawsuit against the trump campaign, russia, wikileaks, accusing all three of conspiring to disrupt the 2016 election. is this really the right message for the democrats heading into the mid-terms? joining us to debate, dan bongino, host of the dan bongino show and former senior advisor to secretary of state hillary clinton. be men, normally i feel like i've got two gladiator s in the ring and i have to start this by saying dan , what do you think? >> well yes, you do. ed, listen this is a joke. i'm sure they will throw out this whole russian collusion fairytale but the cotton line is the collusion fairytale has entirely fallen apart. we've been at this for two years not a cent of evidence on the actual collusion on the republican side but there's a whole lot of evidence that the foreign'colluded with the foreign national from the uk who

colluded with foreign nationals from russia to produce a fake dossier used to spy on real americans. that should be the lawsuit against hillary clinton. the republicans -- ed: was there a conspiracy on the democratic side? >> of course not if the rnc wants to sue or dan wants to sue they should go ahead and do so. the reason the democratic party is suing is for pretty simple outcome. what's happening now is the people who should be protecting us going forward are aggregating their responsibility whether it's the congressional house intelligence committee whether it's senate committee, whether it's the president and we could debate two things what happened in 2016, we could debate what we don't want to happen in 2018 or 2020. if you set aside whether hillary clinton or didn't lose or what happened which i know we could debate all day there's no question that the russians tried to medal and attack our election process that's not my comment

that's the comment of mike pompeo of nikki haley and this is the accepted outcome of the intelligence community. ed: go ahead, dan. >> notice he avoided what i said. yes the russians did try to influence the election through hillary clinton. we know this. see these are established. >> okay but dan she's gone now so what are we doing in 2018? >> because we're talking about a lawsuit that your party is filing against the republicans and trump for something your candidate did. we know for a fact the russians spoke to christopher steele. we know that information made it into a fake dossier he used to spy. why do you run from that and also answer me this question and don't duck it because i know how you are. where the dnc servers you alleged were hacked by the russians, why won't they turn those over to the fbi or even to buzzfeed. ed: okay answer that. >> if you're so sure the russians hacked why not turn them over. >> i want to get something

clear here dan are you saying none of this happened because that's what the president of the united states and the cia and nsa say. ed: we hear you but go ahead. did the dnc turnover the server to buzzfeed i have no idea. ed: no the fbi. >> the fbi that didn't really go and couldn't tell? >> you can't answer the question. >> excuse me ask me. no i don't what i know is dan here is what i know please let me talk for a minute. the russians are going to try this again. the chinese are going to try this again. others are going to try this again. what exactly is our congress and our government doing to prevent this? can you name anything? >> you still can't answer the question. why won't the dnc if they're so sure the russians hacked their servers why are they hiding it from the fbi? don't answer my question, don't counter it with another question ed: let me ask you a question then which is a serious one and

i don't know the answer to it and i know it's not your lawsuit per se. >> i wish it was. i'd be happy to affiliate myself with it. ed: let's say there's merit to this lawsuit why the heck wasn't it filed the day after the election? why is it being filed a year and a half later? >> that's an excellent question that goes back to what i'm saying. the dnc and democratic party and anyone who cares about the election will problem probably be more than happy if this is never filed. the problem is you had nearly a year and a half gone by and everyone aggregated their responsibility. this is almost a lawsuit of last resort and the dnc was very thoughtful about that and look i understand why lawsuits have a sort of negative connotation station but i make two points one, president trump has been involved in over 4,000 of them so clearly it's something they have no bearing. ed: quick second point, what's your second point? >> he still hasn't addressed the question, ed. number one, can he acknowledge that hillary worked with the russians through a foreign

national? >> there's nothing on vladimir putin and hillary clinton. ed: okay but did she work with him on the dossier? did clinton advisors work on the dossier? >> dan i can't hear right now. ed: just clearly, weren't there clinton advisors working with christopher steele on the dossier yes or no. no, no. ed: there weren't? >> absolutely not. ed: you were senior advisor at the state department. >> the state department absolutely not. ed: okay, all right we'll leave it right there. no hold on a second dan did you just say that's a lie? why is that a lie? if you want to run or stick around and stick with the facts that the dnc paid for -- ed: so let him answer. cindy blumenthal was pushing it. >> you may have missed it. ed: all right, dan hang on. >> i can't hear what he's saying yelling over himself but no one in the clinton campaign

had anything to do with christopher steele. that is a brand new out of nowhere conspiracy but i understand why everyone is so, look the lawsuit played a big part in water gate. ed: be men appreciate you coming in. still to come, geraldo rivera live with us plus the pc police now patrolling preschool, yes why some kids can't have a best friend any more. i mean, i know dan and phillipe aren't best friends but why can't i have a best friend. >> ♪ ♪ i'm really into this car,

the farewell of this first lady. people told us mrs. bush had class and grace and as a tribute many people wore her favorite color blue and some wore her trademark pearls and a number of mourners spoke to her about her passionate work on literacy and admired the way she carried herself as the matriarch of the bush family. >> when we found out about the first lady's viewing today, we had to take the day off and come down. >> and he was so gracious, lov ing, kind, for her family, her friends, and most of all for her husband george. >> she was just a strong woman and we will miss her here in texas. >> we expect about a 90 minute funeral service with three eulogies to be delivered including one by her son, former florida governor jeb bush, four former presidents will be in attendance along with first lady melania trump. back to you guys. ed: mike emmanuel has been cover

ing the bush family and doing it well we appreciate your reporting mike. abby: we now bring in geraldo rivera fox news correspondent at large. geraldo first, just about barbara bush because today is really about celebrating her life. we also saw the moment yesterday of george h. w. bush sitting next to the coffin what a powerful moment but i've been reading barbara bush's memoires this week and there is a great story she tells about the first date she had with george h. w., the nickname he had was poppy, and apparently he asked his parents to use the oldsmobile, it was the only car with a working radio he was so worried they would have nothing to talk about on that first date and then he said that was the last time i ever worried about that that she basically talked forever after that moment but just a reminder, geraldo of this woman. she had such a good sense of humor but balanced her toughness out with being so loving and being so warm and gracious. geraldo: i absolutely agree, abbey good morning to you, todd,

and ed. she was, you know, so touching in this moment of great division in our country where there are two sides, it's almost like a civil war is being fought in a philosophical political battlefield and yet barbara bush is a universal figure of great a claim and en dearment to both sides of the american clan right now. she was the glue that held her family together. she was in many ways, i think, the spunk of the family, the spine of the family. abby: the enforcer. geraldo: right when she and governor jeb bush were campaign ing, when governor bush was campaigning against donald trump in the 15 other candidates i remember so clearly the former first lady and the mother of the candidate saying to jeb that he had to toughen up that he had to interrupt the way the others did , he had to fight back and i just loved her. she was like a combination head

football coach, matriarch as you suggest. she was kind of a mother superior in many ways. i loved the fact that she refused to dye her hair as it turned white prematurely. she was in every way a loving and magnet inspector general figure. todd: from a shiny example to james comey, justice department inspector general who has been working harder than anybody it seems in the city of washington d.c. probing james comey in his memos over potential classified material. what do you make of all of this? geraldo: well first of all from his own book, comey describes himself as stubborn, pride full, over-confident and driven by ego so i agree with his own self- assessment. i believe that those memos, i once had a surgery that went bad and then they examined the medical records and the medical records had all been meticulously written in favor of every decision the doctor made.

it's the same thing with the james comey memo. everything in the memo is written, it seems to me, to corroborate his own version of what happened between he and the president in the private setting they were totally self-serving. they were as i said ex post fact o. i don't think they're very meaningful. is james comey at legal jeopardy for admittedly leaking that material which may not have been classified at the time? subsequently some of it became classified in retrospect. i don't know if jolie will be indicted for violating the secrecy acts of the various secrecy acts but i do think what will be the bitter irony from the anti-trump point of view, from the people who support the president and potential impeachment or obstruction charges and so forth what will be the fascinating scenario will be when james comey testifies against andrew mccabe. andrew mccabe now facing these

very serious charges of lying under oath. abby: somebody is lying between the two. geraldo: comey will be the biggest witness. ed: what's that abbey? abby: i said someone's lying between the two of them. geraldo: of somebody is but how unseemly will it be and in many ways corroborating president trump's account of what happened when these two men appointing figures no, he lied, no, he lied , no he gave me permission, no he didn't give me permission and in the meantime to the point that i saw dan bongino making earlier on the program, remember russiagate? it's almost like russiagate is irrelevant. where is russiagate? where is the collusion? where is the conspiracy between the dark forces of donald trump and vladimir putin to sabotage the american election? wasn't that what this was all supposed to be about? ed: and they haven't found evidence of collusion so now another person ill help jeopardy on a whole other matter is michael cohen, the president's

long time personal attorney and earlier on the program we had alan dershowitz who you know is somewhat favorable in his commentary about the president and he said look i think the president should simply stop tweeting, stop talking specifically about the cohen case, about robert mueller 's case and the special counsel and then literally about a half hour later the president started this tweet storm about michael cohen and whether he's going to flip. what say you about what the president should be doing right now with michael cohen? geraldo: well let me tell you first from the professor's advice. i have always said if i had my dream job right now, it would be as president trump's twitter editor, that if only he would show them to me before he unleashed them on the universe i think that he would have, he makes his own life more complicated. i totally get his frustration about michael cohen and everyone talking, sam nunberg, and all these other people, michael cohen is going to flip on the

president that russiagate is nothing this will all be about tax fraud or bank fraud or some private dark dealing between michael cohen and the president of the united states so i understand the president's frustration. hey, wait a second first of all michael cohen is not going to flip. second of all the new york times story is off base. they're relying on number of druggie as the only evidence that cohen will do this and that i understand the president's frustration but i do think and this is why i think the point. of rudy guiliani to the defense team in the last couple of days is significant. as russiagate fades into obscurity and as it becomes clear to everybody that there is no collusion with russia, that whatever the russians did they were state actors trying to sabotage another state's election, shame on them, sanctions, let's make sure they never do it again, let's be vigilant against it but there was no conspiracy or collusion with trump to do it.

todd: we want to be careful about tweets and accusing somebody of being a drunk or a druggie, because we don't have evidence of that either. geraldo: well i think in nunberg 's case there was some evidence or admission or at least reporters. ed: there was a report. geraldo: i just want to quickly say that the michael cohen situation is more of a vulnerability legally speaking to the president than mueller. mueller will fade. that will go. he'll write a scolding letter but it will all be about the southern district of new york. ed: thanks, geraldo. abby: geraldo rivera, president trump's tweet editor to be. thanks, geraldo. ed: a lot more dana perino nexts todd: don't go anywhere. it can lead you on an unexpec ted journey... ...to discover your heritage. get ancestrydna for just $59. the lowest price of the year.

todd: time for a fox news alert north korea suspending its nuclear testing. abby: so how is wall street reacting to all of this and how will the news effect the markets this week? ed: here with his insight neil

cavuto the host offcast o live airing 10 a.m. eastern right after us and neil it was only a few months ago you had the critics saying we're on the brin k of nuclear war. the markets might be liking the idea we're on the brink of peace neil: yeah the concessions that the north korean leader was looking at here but you guys have been reported fairly sweep ing and i might say as we that the markets were fixated on these political developments regarding the president and it's uncanny that the better things look for him the better things look for the market the worse things look for him in this investigation or that perception the worse for the market. i remember the exact same relationship with bill clinton although a democrat in this largely republican crowd, they liked what he was doing for the economy and the markets and they didn't want him to go. i think it's fair to say here that these markets feel the same way. abby: when michael cohen, not michael cohen i'm sorry when robert mueller told the president recently that he's not the target of either investigation of the russia

probe or rosenstein, how did the markets react to that, i'm curious. neil: well that was an odd one, abbey because it occurred late in the day, first it was a bloomberg report that rosenstein had told the president look you're not a target of this probe. now we don't know how reliable that is or whether he in fact said he certainly has commented on that but the markets which were already down about 200 points at the time, this story broke about 15 minutes before the markets closed. well they rebounded a hundred points from that level so again it's just the latest reminder that these markets do follow this development especially when it can go in their favor. todd: neil whose coming up on the show into neil: we're looking at a lot of money involved when you talk to lawsuits guys senator ben cardon , on the foreign relations committee and the democrat of course goes on record to say he

doesn't flip over michael pompeo to be the next secretary of state he respects his background and maybe given these tense negotiations with north korea and what seems to be remarkable progress early on whether that could change. abby: neil are you seeing anyone we should know about that? neil: not that i know although you find out in the darndest ways. thanks guys very much. abby: coming up on our show here is a live look inside st. martin 's episcopal church where hundreds will soon be celebrating the beautiful life of late first lady barbara bush. dana perino is a close friend of the bush family who served as press secretary and she is joining us next, on barbara bush 's enduring impact. we look so forward to hearing from her. stick around.

todd: preparations underway in houston for the funeral of barbara bush. ed: and the event will be of course especially touching for one of our next guests. abby: dana perino was president george w. bush's press secretary and of course a close friend of the bush family. dana, i know this is a day for you that is so important. you knew her well thank you for getting up early for us this morning. just give us a sense of the woman that you knew. >> well, i think that so many words have been spoken and there's the same theme runs through that she was beloved, she was hilarious, a woman of great character, she had high expectations of others, she loved being a wife, a mother and a grandmother and then she understood also how to help her family be public servants as abbey i know your family teaches the same thing for all of your

whole clan and so today actually feels a little more somber because the initial outpouring of i've got to tell you migrate story about barbara bush, that has been going on for several days. today the weather is a little bit darker, people are starting to arrive for the funeral and i just found out, abbey, that george h. w. bush is going to wear some book socks in order to pay tribute to his beloved literacy efforts. abby: i just love that well dana we all saw that moment yesterday as i know you did you can see here george h. w. bush next to the coffin of the woman that he loved was married to for 73 years. talk to us about what we're see ing right here and what you think might be going through his mind. >> well, we wanted to put out a statement last week thanking everybody for their thoughts and prayers. he says he can feel them. he's in pretty good spirits of course heartbroken but surround ed by family and friends

and then he wanted to personally be there and shake the hands of people that were coming through the line. that was around 1:00 yesterday. she laid in repose for 12 hours yesterday, over 6,000 people came from their places of work, after work in order to pay their respects to her, and i think today what you'll see at the funeral which fox news will take live is a celebration of her life and a chance to just pause and be quiet for a moment before we move on as barbara bush would have wanted us to do. ed: dana i've probably known your husband peter now for over a decade and he's a great guy and he had a fun interaction as i recall you mentioning a couple days ago with barbara bush. >> well, he has had a couple. one of them that i love is we were talking about the importance of thank you notes and i'm a big proponent of it and we returned home from the trip, he wrote a thank you note. i had immediately gone on to another trip. well he didn't have the address. by the time the note got there

it was two weeks late. we saw them about a month later and the first thing she said to peter was well that was the latest thank you note i ever received and then she winked at him and she did have high expectations of people but very importantly, she said the only thing she ever regretted were the moments when she was not kind and she also was not judgment all in anyway and she was certainly missed. abby: she found that perfect balance of being tough and warm. nobody better to talk with barbara bush about us this morning, today celebrating a remarkable life. todd: more fox & friends moments away. playing a little hide-n-seek. cold... warmer... warmer... ah boiling. jackpot. and if you've got cut-rate car insurance, you could be picking up these charges yourself. so get allstate, where agents help keep you protected from mayhem...

abby: well we of course are remembering and celebrating the beautiful life of barbara bush who died at 92. what a wonder full memorable life she lived. ed: a lot of coverage noon eastern on fox news. todd: goodbye everybody. neil: to texas and to focus on that funeral four presidents,

1,500 guests all descending on st. martin's episcopal church in houston to say goodbye to former first lady barbara bush. we are going to take you there. then to utah, and the focus on a key republican convention going on for that state, mitt romney facing his first big test in the race for orrin hatch's senate seat with 11 other candidates to put it mildly, it is crowded and for mitt romney it could get nasty, very nasty and then to washington where they may be circling around fired fbi director james comey and his number two guy for leaki
