i'm excited. brian: when the bookers call the house do they ask for hayden to book a segment. steve: nobody calls anybody. it's all a text. brian: using the telephone. ainsley: she is watching pep pa pig and hands me the phone you have a text. steve: we start the week with a fox news alert. manhunt is intensifying for that man who shot and killed four people at a tennessee waffle house. ainsley: police are looking for that guy right there. he is 29 years old. his name is travis ryanking who opened fire at is you bourbon restaurant before a hero customer walks in and grabs the gun. >> i made up my mind because there is no way to lock that door that if it was gonna come down to it, he was going to have to work to kill me.

brian: he didn't thankfully. incredibly james shaw suffering only a minor injury. the shooter had a previous run-in with police who arrested him in a restricted area near the white house last year, believe it or not. steve: that's right. they had confiscated all of his guns and then later returned them to his father who they believe returned them to the son. what's amazing about the hero right there, james shaw jr. is he was hiding behind a door. and was waiting for the guy to stop shooting. he was changing magazines. jumped out there, grabbed the red hot barrel of that thing. those were his minor injuries. he burned his hand. he said i didn't even feel it because i had to do something about it and he did just that and he saved a lot of lives. ainsley: police thought that shooter was hold up in his house or apartment. they went there and surrounded it. turns out he was not there. still looking for him. brian: believe it or not, the guy gets out. and believes he has two more guns in his arsenal. armed and dangerous. obviously that is the

assumption and unhinged, absolutely. and barrelly sane, perhaps. meanwhile, let's talk about what's happening overseas that perhaps one of the biggest breakthroughs diplomatically, one of our chief enemies, one of axis of evil, north korea, over the last few weeks has given indications that they might be looking to come to the table and no longer live the life of a renegade hermit empire. i'm stunned about the amount of backlash without anything done or concede you had that the president trump has received. ainsley: kim jong un announced on saturday he's going to close nuke testing site and suspend long range missile tests but says he will not be giving up his nuclear weapons. steve: here is the thing. the president has made it very clear. look, we don't know what's going to happen. we are happy that mr. kim has agreed to come to the table and start the process. but then, over the weekend, to brian's point, for instance chuck todd was talking about how, you know, kim is not giving up very much.

he is making it seem like is he. that prompted the president of the united states who is down at mar-a-lago and had a smart phone to start tweeting. he tweeted this: we are a long way from conclusion on in connection with but maybe things will work out and maybe they won't. only time will tell. but i -- but the work i am doing now should have been done a long time ago. obviously he is talking about the past durations. and then he took a shot at tv talking heads. brian: also he brings up we will tell north korean leader kim jong un in the upcoming summit that economic relief will not happen unless the country arsenal. anybody who says we have given in. they are going to talk. they have halted missiles. if if we didn't talk today is the beginning of north korea and south korea leaders talking about ending the korean war for the first time. ainsley: our president is saying we are very weary of making upfront concessions you want give and take

already? we haven't sat down yet. north korea has to earn this. steve: meanwhile, who is it that went to north korea on easter weekend? it was mike pompeo our cia director. later on today in the senate foreign relations committee, he's going to get a vote out of committee. and because john mccain is not there, he is out in arizona with cancer treatment and rand paul has said i'm a no on it, it looks as if it will not pass. there is one chance though, chris coons who is a democrat from delaware has not said how he will vote, but he is leaning toward a no. they need one democrat to join the republicans to confirm mr. pompeo. ainsley: chris coons is the only one who said he is not going to go. he opposed mike pompeo when he was being appointed, what do you call it elected cia director. brian: mark short had the line of the weekend. it's hard to believe that rand paul will vote yes for

john kerry for barack obama but will not vote for mike pompeo for president trump because he feels he knows better what president trump really needs as a secretary of state. which is comical. the president playing it right saying listen, he has never let me down. i hope he won't this time. i sense he is letting him this time. if it goes to the general floor vote which would be embarrassing really more for the democrats than rand paul. if it goes to a floor vote get through. heidi heitkamp saying as a democrat i will shoat for him. it's hard to believe that joe manchin and joe donnelly get six more years in their red states if they vote for mike pompeo. ainsley: goes for the floor vote need one democrat i guess she would be the one. steve: the more the merrier. ainsley: one democrat, at least the articles i have been reading. one democrat and two republicans could vote no. that would be rand paul and then john mccain is absent. brian: jeff flake too has

con not confirmed. ainsley: then he wouldn't get confirmed. steve: most important job in the cabinet. new york daily news which is such a trump-waiting newspaper has actually come out and there is the headline today confirm mike pompeo. president trump needs a secretary of state. they write he is a solid enough selection who deserves senate consent. pompeo also has solid knowledge of the world, discipline to oversee conflicts diplomacy and double edged sword. the trust in a president who believes in almost no one that will have to do, confirm him. if the new york daily news is saying to democrats in the u.s. senate, come on, get this guy passed, they really should do it. brian: although the daily miss is an embarrassment, they are basically a flier. steve: they don't like trump but they like mike pompeo. ainsley: see what's happening in north korea and syria. this is best for our country to have a secretary of state. brian: if you care about the state department of diplomacy, they will are have more credit in the

white house. they have ears to what they want to do. he will bolster up the state department and they will have a seat at the table because, like it or not, rex tillerson didn't. the president didn't respect his point of view. didn't inform him when he should. he has already created that, mike pompeo. i feel the same way if the republicans were dead set against john kerry. is he qualified and what barack obama wants. it doesn't matter what you want. is he qualified to work with the president for the country? receive steve let's see. they have a vote later on tonight. meanwhile, it is 6:10 here in new york stock exchange. and jillian has news of the president's first big state visit from a world leader. jillian: that's right. good monday morning to you guys. to you at home as well. get you caught up on the story steve was just talking about. today, president trump will welcome french president emmanuel macron to the white house. macron touting the honor of being our commander-in-chief's first state visit. >> >> we have the very special relationship because both of us are probably maverick of

the system. we are not part of the classical system. jillian: two leaders set to have talks on the iranian deal. tonight they will diane washington mt. vernon ahead of the first official state dinner tomorrow. first members of the caravan have arrived at the american border and more on the way. the caravan had more than 1,000 migrants. it has shah runks under pressure from american authorities and troops. migrants are con come pritzed from several countries, he will hav el salvad guatemala maul la. barbara bush's grave site will be opening up today. daughter robin also buried there she was 3 when she died of leukemia. the bush family shearing photos from the private burial ceremony. hundreds of family and friends including the core of cadets lined the streets. look at that the duchess of cambridge has gone into

day. brian: bull horn. steve: town cryer not bull horn. ainsley: this means kate will be able to be in her sister's wedding. brian: are you in the bridle party can. ainsley: did i not get the invitation i will be from the roof top. steve: she is from the broadcast party. ainsley: the joker. brian: remember the police commissioner who sent this warning to ms-13? >> ms-13 wants to threaten a cop in this county? ms-13 is going to get an answer. brian: yep, his department just launched a new offensive against this ruthless gang. he joins us with the results next. steve: she has blamed everything from james comey to vladimir putin to netflix. now hillary clinton has a brand new excuse for losing the election. listen to this. >> the mainstream political coverage was influenced by the right wing media ecosystem. found themselves in a chevy truck.

>> methods wants to threaten a cop in this county? presidents is going tms-13 is gn answer. execute a cop and did have weapons in his vehicle en masse. there go by the grace of god that didn't happen that night. brian: that is a top cop in long island firing back after a recent threat against cops, warning them about ms-13 sinister plan to take out a police officer. the official nassau county

police commissioner himself that you just saw on the side shot, you can see him straight ahead now patrick ryder, mr. commissioner, thanks for coming in. what are your thoughts when that came across they are looking take out one of your guys? >> we cannot tolerate it. it cannot happen. we won't accept it and we have to act back. we acted back this weekend. brian: in what way? >> we went out and reorganized most of our resources and put 150 cops. homeland security came out with an additional 125 each night with us. we made 50 arrests this weekend and took guns off the street. brian brian did you know these guys were out there and looked for a reason to pick them up and that threat was the reason. >> obviously when you threaten a cop in this county in the state of new york or anywhere in this country we are going to act back. brian: you know when it comes to isis they go and call nationally there is a hit when they put up a video. what makes you think this is not a hollow threat. >> looked at the first

threat execute a cop like they do in el salvador because of our e. we found secondary threat where that threat is credible. they staked out a cop and was watching him at a local park. brian: when you pick these guys up, some in their teens, some not. what do they tell you? how do they get here? how many times do they come across? >> many of them have been deported already and come back a second time. we made one arrest this weekend. an individual had been deported twice. when we grabbed him, he was wanted down in prince george, maryland for atimothyed murder. robbery, kidnapping. he had been deported twice and also intimidating a witness. brian: so when you look at ms-13, have you got to stop them from getting here. that's the key. once they are here, the hunt son. they have jobs. they actually earn money, and they use that money for a horrible causes. the more brutal the crime, the more brutally the murder, i guess the eyer up they move within the organization. what do you say to people in communities that have these sanctuary policies that

become a magnet for guys like this? >> you just got to look at the violence and you know there is a lot of hard working people in the latino communities that come here and want to go to work. this small percentage of this ms-13 and these gang members, they cannot be toler rated. if you allow them into your society, this are going to bring violence. brian: what has changed over the last 18 months since this president started making ms-13 part of our vernacular? >> it's the enforcement has been up. we are getting the support going after gang members. you want to make sure you are backed up by politicians and in nassau county we are. brian: when you going to take out a cop what does it look like being one? >> obviously you get upset right away and emotions take over. you look at and it say we have got to go after this the right way. we don't want to offend the entire community. we want to go out and get the gang bangsers out and make sure the community is safe.

brian: how long does the full-court press go on. >> it stays for a while until we feel that threat is no longer credible and the individual made it are arrested prosecuted. brian: did i a ride along with a gang unit, they feel like washington has their back. >> yes, that's true. washington does and of course out in long island. long island politician does, also. they protect our cops. they want our cops -- they are the first line of defense. if we don't back them up. then we give up the war. brian: a lot of time gang members are in working class communities and feel like they are the most vulnerable, they are taking advantage of it i don't know how they end up there. that's another story. thanks so much. best of luck. >> my pleasure. thank you. brian: 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour. a body armor company taking the term made in america to heart. todd piro will take us inside heir factory. that story is next. >> why does made in u.s.a. matter to you? >> pride. it's made in americans. it's creating american jobs.

[gunfire] >> not bad. except the one you missed. >> you can see the damage if that was a human torso without the armor, that's what damage it would inflict. todd: you live. >> you die. >> why armor? >> i lost a friend in iraq in 2005. brian's death got me in to making a better product. so, we have a proven product that's significantly stronger than everybody else's in the united states.

steve: incredibly, james shaw jr. suffering only a minor injury. just last year, ryan king was arrested by the secret service in a restricted area near the white house. and dan bongino joins us right now secret service guy host of the dan bongino show and nra corinther as well. so this guy was stopped near the white house by the secret service a while back. his guns were confiscated by the police ultimately. i guess resul ultimately crimins don't follow gun laws do they? >> no. that's only shocking to the liberals by the way. nobody else. the secret service has to interview anyone they perceive to be a threat as long as they are able to carry it out, you know, knowingly and willingly they can prosecute it looks like they didn't prosecute in this case. steve, this is important. they grade all their threat cases, class one, class two, class three. class three being the most dangerous people out there. i bet that classification system obviously is going to change after this tragedy this weekend.

brian: dan, it's kind of interesting. i understand a guy like you extensive training as a cop and secret service would react like that. how does a civilian react like that? where does that come from? >> a whole lot of heart and a whole lot of guts. think about this. you are watching that happen right there. i bet he wished he had a firearm himself. he didn't. he still goes after the guy. god bless you. what guts, what nerve. what a steel spine this gentleman had to do that. steve: that's right. and there is the picture of james shaw jr. he said that if the guy was going to kill him. he was going to make him work for it after he took that picture, he was in the hospital and then he went home. he changed clothes and went to church with his family. >> god bless this patriot.

ainsley: devin nunes the chairman and adam schiff they are always going back and forth. over the weekend intel that led to the russia investigation. here is the house intel chairman devin nunes talking. this is his side of the story. listen to this. >> it took us a long time to actually get this, what's called the electronic communication. as we know it now what that is the original intelligence, the original reason that the counter intelligence investigation was started. this is really important to us because a counter intelligence investigation uses the tools of our intelligence services. that are not supposed to be used on american citizens. we have long wanted to know well, what intelligence did you have that actually led to this investigation? what we found now after the investigators had reviewed it that there was no intelligence. steve: that was a bombshell. dan, there was no intelligence. and so that makes it look more and more politically motivated than ever before.

>> steve, i was salivating to get on the air to talk about this. it's 6:30 in the morning. guys, if you do anything, the viewers out there today, go and watch that maria bartiromo interview. watch it it's about 10 minutes and 30 seconds long. i have watched it now four times. there's not one, not two, there is about five or six bombshells from devin nunes in there. one of them you just played. think about what he just said. process this, ladies and gentlemen, horse blinders on. he just said that the most destructive counter intelligence spying operation in modern u.s. history against a presidential candidate and potentially a sitting president was conducted with, look at this, visuals here, zero evidence, zero. this is -- how is this story -- that interview should be plastered on the front page of every newspaper in america this morning. what is adam schiff, once of the most disturbing croive figures in american politics

say? by the way constitutional republics fall because of people like adam schiff. instead of him saying listen, i don't like donald trump's politics but this, guys, is really serious and we need to look into it? what does he do he? attacks nunes again. this guy is unbelievable. brian: here is a statement from schiff, majority seems to believe it can discredit the initiation of the investigation by attacking the fbi, justice department, it can get the public to ignore the growing body of evidence of illicit contacts between the trump campaign and the russians. this approach is a disingenuous as it is destructive to our institutions. doubling down. >> brian, this guy is a police state tyrant. bottom line, the investigation discredit itself. they just produced the ec, the electronic document, communications document which describes how it started. this is an fbi document. think about what nunes said. there is no intel in there. i mean, do you believe this? this is a major league

bombshell. steve: and then when you couple that with the fact that james comey, you know, he leaked the confidential or top secret stuff to her his pal so it would wind up in the "new york times" to get a special counsel, it looks like there was animus at the highest levels of our federal government to try to destroy donald trump. >> steve, you just brought up a great point. he leaked information whekd hurt trump to his buddy but then he hid the investigation from congress for eight months when he was supposed to be briefing them quarterly on it hid it. on tape acknowledging they hid it from congress. this is unbelievable. that interview is a must-see. brian: side note. papadopoulos has told friends when he was talking to that professor, he said 30,000 deleted off her server no collusion, a casual conversation. sky a who did the interview who went up to trump tower famously and talked to don jr. and jr. and others

nobody from the mueller campaign has even talked to me. i'm willing to talk to them. how do you an investigation without even talk to me and they around and they haven't. >> the trump team was set up. it is obvious. everybody who contacted the trump team has a connection to fusion gps or the clintons. everyone. this was a setup. it's obvious if you look at the facts here. i was a former criminal investigator. look at the facts. this is unbelievably disturbing stuff. steve: dan bongino has been saying the president was framed from the get-go. thank you for joining us from palm city down in florida. brian: dan, of course, woke up his entire family when he did that. ainsley: they are in the next room. brian: jillian, please whisper. jillian: as long as you say it's okay. put their lives on the line to save others on 9/11. now those heroic first responders are being targeted by scammers. they are posing as employee

of the 9/11 victims compensation fund. authorities say they are calling up survivors, requesting personal information to help with claims. congress is asking the ftc to investigate the scam. failed presidential candidate hillary clinton adding one more excuse of what happened. the media. >> the mainstream political coverage was influenced by the right wing media ecosystem. relentlessly negative news has had a leveling effect that opens the doors to charlottetons. jillian: while speaking at an event in new york, clinton added that the political races since she lost have been more fairly covered. don't go out there, it's too dangerous. penn state administrators banning the student led outing club from going outside. university officials saying camping, hiking, canoeing, they are too risky for students. forcing group leaders to shut down outdoor trips next.

week from mr. macron. griff: good morning, guys. this is the first day during the administration. there is a lot for the two to discuss from north korean developments to the future of the iranian nuclear deal. president macron weighed in yesterday with chris wallace. >> what do you have -- >> i don't have any plan nuclear against iran. so if that's the question we will discuss, that's why, i just want to say on nuclear, let's present the framework, because it's better than sort of north korean type of situation. griff: meanwhile asthma krohn urged trump to stay in the iran deal. warning the u.s. from changing or exiting the agreement. >> exiting from it would be seen by the international community as an indication that the united states is not a reliable partner.

iran has many options. and those options are not pleasant. griff: president trump has been very critical of the iran deal signed by president obama but gave a temporary extension to it in january. now a may 12th deadline lives to remain as german chancellor angela merkel will visit washington later this week. and also plans to encourage the president to stay in the deal. now, back to the macron's visit. the president and first lady will host macrons for private dinner tonight in mt. vernon and then the official state dinner at the white house tomorrow. macron will address congress on wednesday. brian: three straight days and angela merkel closes out the week. you will seat difference in their relationship. what a great interview chris wallace did yesterday. ainsley: so good. brian: so good because no translation needed he had speaks such great english. did i not note similarity. look, i get along with the president for a few reasons. number one we both came from business. number two, nobody expected either one of us to win. because we are putting our

agenda through, both are facing major head winds domestically. ainsley: don't criticize unless you are in the position. i'm doing the best i can, he says. steve: that's right. it will be a great visit and then, of course, the german leader comes to town on friday. meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about this. have you got to wonder why the democrats are in such a hurry and they are not going to wait for robert mueller's conclusion to his investigation because it was announced at the end of last week that the democrat national committee was going to sue wikileaks, the russian government, and donald trump because they clearly colluded to fix the election back in 2016. the big question for tom perez, who runs the dnc right now, is why would they spend probably millions and millions of dollars at this point when they should be devoting that cash to winning the house that that was one of the questions over the weekend. here is the answer. >> i don't know the amount of money it will take.

i will tell you hard to put a price tag on democracy it would be irresponsible of me not to to do this. at the end of this, they were trying to bring about chaos. and they did. we had people on my team at the dnc who got death threats. when you try to do that to our team, yeah, i'm going to punch back. i'm punching back not only for my colleague. i'm punching back for democracy. that's what we believe in as democrats. elections should be fair. i understand people may agree and disagree. you know what? we are fighting for them. brian: wow, fantastic. maybe you should tell debbie wasserman schultz your predecessor when your says have you been hacked. pick up the phone and do something about it you are to blame about it. steve: she did. she said she wasn't going to give to him. brian: first they ignored it and reached out again and ignored again and then said no. it's a 66 page complaint. tom perez, among your critics. by the way this is the best thing that could ever happen to republicans.

last thing people want to think of is that somebody on the other side has a better agenda than you. how about no agenda. dnc lawsuit, 66 pages long. among the people that think it's stupid david axelrod. said what are you doing you? ainsley: alan dershowitz who is a democrat had this to say about it. >> it's a complicated lawsuit. i think it would be dismissed as to russia, based on sovereign immunity. it will probably be dismissed as to the republican party based on political question. but, remember, there is reciprocal discovery. the democrats will have to produce all the information about the dossier and about other attempts, maybe. 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. steve: i'm glad he talked about reciprocal discovery because the democrats don't want to give up all the information they know about the dossier and things like that. that's why the president of

the united states said hey, the republicans should use this to their advantage. counters for the dnc server that brian was talking about that they refused t to give to the fbi that debbie wasserman schultz thing with the it guys and all that trouble. this is a can of worms i don't know that the democrats have really thought this through because ultimately it can come back to bite them in the butt. ainsley: we talked about caravans coming up through south america and through mexico to reach the u.s. the first wave of those migrant caravans have hit the u.s. border. 50 requesting asylum in california right now. brian: 500 was spotted saturday in herman sillciloo riding freight trains north to the border. 50 in central america. ainsley: look at. brian: 50 from central america have caravaned up through tee yuanna, mexico. they will be looking for some type of asylum. they have to plead their

case that they are refugees and run are for their safety. steve: it's interesting. we heard they would just try to somehow cross the border. but they are in tijuana and they're filling out the paperwork. what's interesting though is the federal government says that family units and unaccompanied minors would have priority. this caravan of migrants disbanded after the president made it very clear that he was going to -- this would impact nafta negotiations going forward. next thing you know, for the most part the mexico government pulled the plug on it. ainsley: it's amazing. they have take one step on to u.s. soil and they have a case that we have to keep them here. it's catch and release and release them back into america until they have their court hearing because they plead their case. those leaders down in mexico or south america are telling them bring kids with you because you have a better chance of getting to stay. steve: right. they are not trying to cross the border. they are actually on the mexican side filling out

paperwork trying to apply for asylum to the united states. we will keep you tuned on that. brian: last time there was a summer like this. a lot of them unaccompanied minors and teenagers a lot of them ended up being ms-13. thats watt story we was coferg earlier. ms-13 the big message now is go kill a cop. they are already reacting being scooped up. 10 minutes after the top of the hour. jillian, i understanding have you breaking news. jillian: that's right. we are following a story we want to get you caught up on. let's start with this fox news alert. a massive manhunt underway for the man who killed four people at a tennessee waffle house. schools now locking out all visitors until further notice. police looking for 29-year-old travis ryan king who opened fire at the suburban restaurant. >> i made up my mind there is no way to lock that door that if it was going to come down to it, he was going to have to work to kill me.

jillian: incredibly james shaw jr. suffered only a minor injury. the shooter was arrested last year by the secret service in a restricted area near the white house. to another fox news alert. this isis follower and only surviving terrorist in the 2015 terrorist attacks found guilty of a shootout with police in belgium. abdeslam will be spend second degree 0 years behind bars. ambush leading to his arrest in the paris terrorist attacks that left 130 people dead. he will be tried for that separately. the senate foreign relations committee set to vote on president trump's secretary of state nominee mike pompeo today. but there may not be enough votes to recommend him for confirmation. all 10 democrats and at least one republican had said they will oppose him. however, the committee could still send the nomination to the senate unfavorably which would allow for a vote in the full senate. the hearing comes after pompeo met with north korean leader kim jong un. and we are on baby watch right now.

the duchess of cambridge has gone into labor. kate middleton checked herself in overnight. this baby will be the fifth in line to the throne following behind brother prince george and sister princess charlotte. folk folks have within camping outside the hospital for weeks to get the first glimpse of the new royal. when we get our first glimpse there is news we will let you know. steve: i don't get that as soon as the baby is born hang out the window. jillian: that's michael jackson. brian is looking at me like. brian: i don't get that people care so much about somebody else's baby. steve: so much bad news. this is happy news. jillian: to be royal. ainsley: yes. brian: thanks, jillian. james comey just released his book on ethical leadership. what about his ethics i put that in bold. law professor jonathan turley has the answer next.

♪ ♪ >> i understood this to be my recollection recorded of my conversation with the president as a private citizen i felt free to share that i felt it very important to get it out. ainsley: did former fbi director james comey break the law when he leaked those memos to the media? let's ask constitutional law professor george washington university jonathan turley. he joins us now. good morning to you, professor. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. ainsley: did he break the law? >> he certainly did violate the rules of the fbi. this was not some type of personal diary as so many in the media portrayed it as. when we see the memos, it only reaffirms what many of us said at the time. this is clearly fbi material covered by fbi regulations. you are not allowed to take them and leak them to the media. they were addressed to high ranking fbi officials. they were part of an investigation done on an fbi

computer by the head of that investigation. so, i don't think there is any question now. there shouldn't have been before. but there is no question now that this was fbi material improperly removed and then leaked by comey. and what's so concerning here is it's a concerted effort by many to ignore the unprofessional conduct of comey in this regard. you can disagree with the president. you can disagree with the firing of comey. but, what comey did in this instance is very troubling. and it's wrong. ainsley: the president tweeted. he said james comey's memos are classified. did i not declassify them. they belong to our government. therefore, he broke the law. additionally, he totally made up many of the things he said i said. and he is already a proven lier and leaker. where are memos on clint, lynch and others. what do you like about that tweet and what do you not like. >> i don't know what was

made up or not. the problem is it doesn't matter once you take a step like this. he is a leaker and he did improperly remove fbi material and gave it to the media. what's particularly trouble something that there was no no need to do it. what these memos confirm is investigators and fbi officials had the memos. he wasn't trying to preserve the memos. he wasn't trying to guarantee that people would see them. ainsley: what was he doing? >> the only answer to that is that it wasn't in the interests of the investigation. it was in the interest of james comey. he took over the public narrative by releasing these memos. it's the same dynamic when rushing a tell-all book to prints. he published a book that referenced both disclosed and undisclosed evidence in the middle of an investigation that he headed where he is a key witness. ainsley: yes. >> why? that is clearly not helping the investigation. ainsley: memos only 15 pages, easy treevmentd he says clearly he is not a

leaker. in the interview and in his book, he talked about why he leaked the information to his friend, the professor. he is telling a lie there. why should we believe anything else he says? >> what's also very odd about this, is that he admits that he did not consult with mueller about publishing his book. he clearly didn't consult with people about taking fbi material and leaking it to the media. and, again, you are asked why? is this what he is referring to as ethical leadership? ainsley: he wants to school all of us on ethics, right? >> right. lawyers don't do this and fbi directors don't do. this if the investigation is a paramount veteran. ainsley: thank you for joining us. >> thank you. ainsley: good to see you. still ahead white house press secretary sarah sanders going to join us live. >> my pleasure, thank you. ainsley: schools liberals on why they lost in 200016. is he going to join us live next. >> your country is polarizing in a way that's not good. and, you know, people are going after trump. >> there is all these people that elected him and are identified with them, and they are not taking this well. the rest ♪

life." just rye leased a new audio book version of maps of meaning. he joins us now from canada. good morning to you, doctor. >> good morning. steve: so there you were, you were watching the liberals on the panel talking and you started today indicate them on your point of view why they lost. were they receptive to that? >> well, i don't know if the question i asked was really addressed. if trump is taken out by one means or another, then how are you going to heal the rift between the left and the right in the united states? and this is a serious problem. i mean, everyone, regardless of their political orientation, needs to live together. and if we want peace, and if we have any sense, we're going to want peace. the question wasn't addressed. steve: but the interesting thing is and something that you brought up was that just the fact that the other panelists were not on your side politically, but, given the way that elections work,

they have to accept, well, they don't in many cases the election results and have you got to respect the person who did vote for donald trump because they were simply exercising their right. >> well, i think you've seen in the united states probably ever since the special prosecutor was nominated to go after clinton. have you seen attempts to bring down the presidents legally every time there has been an election. and that seems to have been ramped up. that's very dangerous. i mean, obviously the president isn't above the law. steve: sure. >> but increasingly the political parties seem to be using extra like means outside of the electoral process to impose their will on the electoral outcome. and this is a bad thing. steve: just look at what the democrats in the senate are trying to do right now to mike pompeo. never in history has anybody tried to shut down a president's selection for secretary of state and this

appears to be based on politics. >> yeah. well, i mean, people need to understand that those on the other side of the political spectrum have the reasons for looking at the world the way they do. i mean, each side can become too extreme. if you want a civil society, then people have to be civil to one another. i see that breaking down. it's not -- it's not something -- it's not a pathway we want to trod if we have any sense. steve: you are right. there isn't a lot of civility these days. there is not a lot on campus. i know you are a professor and you go out and you are an alternative voice on college campuses. we're going to play you a sound bite from candace owens who is the communications director for turning point u.s.a. she was at aclu in the last -- d protesting black lives matter protesters. she had a point for them. listen to this and then we want to get your point of view. >> sure. >> victim mentality is not cool. i don't know why people like being oppressed.

the weirdest thing i have ever heard i love oppression. we are oppressed. 400 years of slavery, jim crowe, which by the way none of you guys lived through, your grandparents did. it's embarrassing you utilize their history. you are not living through anything right now. you are overly privileged americans. steve: you are overly privileged americans. she said that and then a few hours or a day or two later kanye west, the singer, the artist, tweeted this out: i love the way candace owens thinks and then now he is taking at love heat because is he supporting somebody who is from the political right. what did you make of what she had to say? >> well, i think that candace is commenting about the danger of adopting a victimizization oppressor narrative and it's a narrative that the hard left has really been pushing ever since marx, of course, that the world is composed of those who are victimized and those who are the oppressors and everyone successful is an oppressor and everyone else is a moral victim like

a morally acting victim. and it's a very, very dangerous narrative. and it is one that is widespread on university campuses to look at the world that way. to look at the world through a world identity lens puts us back in a tribal situation and will produce conflict. it has throughout the 20th century. and so candace is objecting to that and rightly so. it's an unbelievably pernicious ideology and the universities are to blame for distributing it in large part. it's really appalling and dangerous. steve: when you look at politics in general during the last election cycle back in 2016, the democrats did adopt a very strong identity politics program and, you know, all the postmortems have said that really didn't work. so, it will be interesting to see what the democrats do going forward. >> yeah. well, i mean, the right wingers, the conservative types like candace have to tell a better story than the democrats and the story has

got to be this goes for centrist liberals, too. the story has to be that there is obviously racial differences and ethnic differences and gender differences and all of that some of that manifests itself in terms of prejudice, but the fundamental issue is that we have always regarded the individual as the measure in the west. and that's the best idea the world has ever had and if we lose that, then it's getting to be catastrophic. so, everyone should be pushing against that whether they are on the right or the left if they have any sense and the moderate left needs to disassociate themselves from the radical left. this is something they refuse to do. it's concept actually difficult to do it. but it's a moral imperative and moral necessity. steve: let's see what happens. dr. peterson has developed a new online writing program. it's called "self-authoring."we just talkedt

france's president macron. why this is aallegiance important to us? >> this sour country's oldest ally. they have been a great partner. the president and president macron have had a great relationship since the very beginning. we have a lot of the things we can work with. one of the biggest trading partners we have in europe. we are really excited about this visit. the first lady has been incredible throughout this process. she has done this all on her own without bringing in an outside consultant. been very hands on. and this is going to be a spectacular couple of days. brian: sarah, a couple of things, one thing that's pretty clear is he desperately, france and germany desperately wants to stay in the iranian deal. has the president gone over the framework that would get him interested in staying in it? >> look. we certainly expect this to be a topic that comes up both at this visit over the next couple of days as well as the visit with chancellor merkel at the end of this week. the president has been very clear about how he feels about this deal and some

changes that he needs and wants to see reflected. we'll certainly come up. we're not going to get ahead of anything that the president may or may not comment to and what he would want to see in that. the president has been very clear about the dislike he has for this deal and how he wants to make sure that we get something better. ainsley: when you look at what is happening in syria and we had help from the u.k. and from france. and you look at what is happening in north korea ahead of that summit that our president is going to meet with kim jong un. it's very important that we have a secretary of state. and pompeo is the president's choice and it looks like he is not going to be confirmed. what are your thoughts? what's your reaction? what's the president's reaction? brian: at least out of committee. >> we certainly hope that some members will change their minds. look, at some point, democrats have to decide whether they love this country more than they hate this president. and they have to decide that they want to put the safety and the security and the diplomacy of our country ahead of their own political game. and we are very hopeful that they will. mike pompeo is a highly

qualified individual, top of his class at harvard. first this his class at west point. he has been an impeccable cia director. he has done a great job. he was confirmed there. if you just look at history, the past secretary of states have been confirmed unanimously. steve: right. >> republicans have come on board and supported hillary clinton, john kerry. people we know they didn't necessarily agree with on the political spectrum. they knew how important this position was and they didn't play games with it and democrats need to do the same thing with mike pompeo and confirm him. he has been one of the leading people when it comes to the negotiations and the conversations with north korea. steve: absolutely. >> to stop that would be incredibly dangerous and damaging for our country and for the world. steve: are you predicting that he will pass out of committee or by the senate as the general body? >> look, we would love to see both. we know how good of a candidate and how highly

qualified he is and what a great secretary of state he's going to make. and we expect democrats to get on board and focus on what's best for our country. not what's best for their midterm election. brian: it's not just democrats. rand paul is causing this uproar. senator jeff flake hasn't made up his mind. rand paul thinks he knows the president's foreign policy better than the president. and that if this guy, mike pompeo does not represent the president the way rand paul wants the president to be represented. what's your message to rand paul? >> look, director pompeo has spent hours upon hours with the president briefing him on the most sensitive topics and information that our country has. they have a great chemistry. they are on the same page. otherwise, the president wouldn't have put him in there after spending so much time with him, he has a great in-depth knowledge of where they are or how they agree and he wants to see director pompeo and rand paul should have faith in

the president's decision as a supporter of his that he is making the right decision for our country. and he should certainly be supportive of what the president is trying to do. and continue to be a good ally and partner with the administration. steve: all right. let's talk a little bit. you were talking about mike pompeo and north korea. stories out today in the "wall street journal" talking about how the president is going to make -- not going to make the same mistake other administrations have made in the past. north korea is not going to get anything until they, for the most part, really start down the path of pulling the plug on their nukes, right? >> look. that's certainly the focus of this conversation. hats to be denuclearization. that's the ultimate goal. we have been very clear about this from the beginning, this president as well as every member of the administration has made clear that that is the goal of any conversation is denuclearization. and until then, we are going to continue the maximum pressure campaign on north korea. brian: it was very interesting in today's "new

york times" china hab dealt out of this. so far, is there a sense that china is not playing a role? and if so, is that good or bad news? >> china has played a big role in this process. they have been a good partner with the united states and helping to put pressure in north korea that's helped get us to the point where we are where they are willing to sit down and started to make concessions where they have even started to do so publicly through their own state-owned media. we have seen that over the last week. these are big steps in the right direction. don't gte us wrong, we are not naive. we know we have a long way to go. this is real progress and china has certainly helped play a role in that. that's largely all in part because of the relationship that the president has built with president xi. they disagree on a lot of things. trade in particular. but they have a good relationship. and the president has asked them to step up and to do more than we have ever seen them do in the past. and they have done that they certainly could do a lot more than they have done. but we are appreciative of what they have done so far.

and we hope that they will continue to help us put pressure on north korea and continue to help us be a partner in getting to that ultimate goal of denuclearizing the peninsula. ainsley: has the date been set yet for the summit for our president to meet with north korea's leader? >> we don't have any specifics that we can announce right now. we are certainly moving forward in those negotiations. again, we feel like we have made great progress, particularly on the concessions that the north koreans have started to make that we have seen over the last week and seen them do publicly now to their own -- through state media which is a big deal in north korea. again, we're not naive to think that we don't have a long way to go in this process, but, we're certainly moving forward and like the direction that we're headed. steve: is that a mower in the background? >> there is. we have a state visit coming. we have to get all hands on deck. all the time. it's got to look perfect and make sure that the lawn is ready to go. steve: all right. sarah, thank you very much. >> you bet. thank you, i guys.

ainsley: we are back with a fox news alert. a frantic manhunt intensifying after a gunman shot and killed four people at waffle house in tennessee. steve: the entire state on edge this morning as police issue an alert for the 29-year-old shooter. brian: elizabeth armstrong from fox affiliate in nashville joins us live. elizabeth, the guy has guns still, right? >> yeah, that's absolutely right. we got word from the command post out here, there was no sighting, no credible sighting of 29-year-old travis reinking overnight. as you can imagine people understandably waking up concerned. some even scared. we have local schools on lockout this morning. police lining the streets up and down this area. we have also got several teams, the fbi, atf, local police still continuing to

search for this troubled 29-year-old. even before this carnage at the waffle house behind me, this man was known to law enforcement across the country. we have learned that the secret service actually took him into custody after he entered a restricted area trying to see president trump. sheriff's department in illinois also revoked his firearms authorization. his guns were seized. and ultimately released to his father. one of those guns used in this shooting behind me here. nashville has a new hero this morning a man named james shaw. he wrestled reinking to the ground and was able to take those guns away. and started to go fund me page for the victims this morning. live in nashville, elizabeth armstrong. steve: thanks, elizabeth, for the latest. brian: thanks so much. steve: incredible. ainsley: anna kooiman traveled 28 hours by herself for baby brooks' first trip to america. how did she do it? she is our hero. she is here with some travel tips for parents next.

our own chris wallace about that >> what do you have? i don't have any plan before nuclear against iran. so that is a question we will discuss. that's why i just want to say on nuclear, let's present a framework because it is better than sort of north korean type of situation. reporter: as macron urged president trump to stay in the deal, iran foreign minister was warning the u from exiting it. >> exiting from it would be seen by the international community as a an indication the united states is not reliable partner. iran has many options. and those options are not pleasant. reporter: president trump has been very critical of the iran deal signed by president obama but gave a temporary extension in january. now a may 12th deadline

steve: sarah sanders was with us 30 minutes ago. she doesn't want to reveal might happen regarding france and iranian deal but she said this about that. >> we certainly expect this to be a topic comes up at this visit next couple days as well as visit with chancellor merkel the end of this week. i will not get ahead of anything the president may or may not commit to. what he would want to see in that. the president has been very clear about the dislike he has for this deal and how he wants to make sure we get something better. brian: i thought we saw a real relationship of respect between the two. they don't agree on everything but i don't think people that respect each other have to agree. they don't agree on climate change. looks like the president wants to get out of syria quicker than macron thinks we should get out of syria. when it comes to the iranian deal, what if i work out something with germany and other allies, we overlay this, with the ballistic missiles and the expiration date on the deal? what if i make this deal a little tougher on iranians might

you stay in? they're trying to work it out while respecting each other's different points of view. steve: different points of view, mr. macron running for president, he stood for everything anti-trump. fast forward to this day the french leader and american leader, that is the tightest relationship each of them have. ainsley: chris wallace did an interview yesterday with him in paris, or i guess they recorded it earlier. steve: good assignment. ainsley: it was beautiful, very well-done. showed you their relationship and how they have learned to respect each other and what negotiation really looks like. today is, today is pompeo gets his confirmmation vote today. the senate foreign relations committee will meet and they're going to vote. looks like they're short of votes. they need all republicans on board. rand paul is saying he is not going to vote, vote to oppose pompeo. steve: president said last week, that rand paul never let me

down. that applies a little pressure. it is interesting tonight to see whether or not rand is thumb up or down. brian: i thought it was interesting, marc short said over the weekend. rand paul is hard no? perhaps. is he going down as the republican voted for john kerry and against mike pompeo? that is something to think about. there is belief heidi heitkamp win noting other democrat to flip. others are feeling pressure from jon tester to joe donnelly to -- steve: claire mccaskill. brian: as well as manchin over in west virginia, that they will flip because they can't honestly say they see eye-to-eye with the president on anything if you won't vote for eminently qualified secretary of state. ainsley: that hurts the country. it hurts national security. it hurts our country. we have everything going on in north korea and syria. we need a secretary of state. i know they might not like the president. you can't penalize the country. brian: we have to redo our whole

system, so many ambassador positions can't get votes in the senate. we don't have ambassador to germany. germany is coming friday. we have a guy on hold, ric grenell for seven months now. it's a joke. steve: because you've to have 30 hours of debate. mitch won't do that. don't know why. look at mike pompeo, over easter he went essentially negotiated with kim jong-un. ainsley: he is is director of the cia. steve: he knows a lot of stuff. the "new york daily news" which hates trump said confirm this guy. sarah huckabee sanders 40 minutes ago says this about mr. pompeo and what he is doing with north korea. >> at some point democrats have to side whether they love this country more than they hate this president and they have to decide they want to put the safety and security and the diplomacy of our country ahead of their own political games. we're hopeful that they will. mike pompeo is a highly-qualified individual.

he has been one of the leading people when it comes to the negotiations and the conversations with north korea and to stop that would be incredibly dangerous and damaging for our country and for the world. brian: if you wonder why scott pruitt is definitely going to have a job, it is the attorney general will stick it out, this is impossible to confirm anybody in today's day and age. with this congress in particular. think about what gina haspel will go through as cia director and other people that have to get confirmed. it will take forever, won't happen. steve: if it doesn't move out of the committee with affirmative testify. it would move to the larger senate. only once in history in 1945, fdr nominate ad guy as secretary of commerce has it gone to the larger body. we'll keep you -- jillian, we have a baby. it's a boy. jillian: not mine. breaking moments ago.

you pulled off the upset. this is david versus goliath. but romney comes back, they're wrong to say that. i'm not goliath. i'm your neighbor. is mitt romney your neighbor? >> sure he is my neighbor and he has been here for a while. i've been here for much longer. i have not read the cliff notes version of book of utah. i read the full book of utah. it has been a pleasure to live amongst these people. i served them as doctor and state legislator. i know the state really well t has been a great privilege for me to serve the state of utah. they felt that, that is why they voted for me. brian: do you have a problem with mitt romney coming back and being governor of massachusetts, coming back to utah after he lost the presidency. >> we're a state welcomes all people. it is great that he is here. we're happy to welcome any other. i'm glad he is here, because i feel i represent the people of utah better. brian: why? >> i lived here 20 years. served people.
