responsible. dogg doggie doo-doo. >> we hope the sun is shining with you. >> thanks for joining us. "happening now" starts right now. >> jon: a fox news alert on the target of a massive man hunt in tennessee. police revealing the man suspected of killing four people in a waffle house near nashville has a history of mental illness. i'm jon scott. >> i'm julie banderas. police say travis reinking had previous encounters with law enforcement including in the nation's capitol before he opened fire on restaurant patrons early sunday morning using an ar-15 rifle that was once confiscated. >> we learned that reinking was arrested by the united states secret service for being in a restricted area near the white house in july of 2017. his illinois firearms authorization was revoked to our understanding at the request of

the fbi and four weapons were seized by tazwell county authorities. among those seized is the ar-15 rifle used at the waffle house today. >> jon: now james shaw jr., the brave customer that was inside the restaurant at the time of the shooting, is speaking out about his decision to charge the gunman. jonathan serrie is live where the shooting took place. jonathan? >> hi, john. everyone is calling him a hero except for james shaw jr. himself. the father of a 4-year-old girl. he said the only thing on his mind is self-preservation. >> i knew i had it in me. i don't have any combat training. i fought my daughter every night to put her to bed. i just knew it was me or him or

that type of scenario. i chose to go with what i wanted to go with. it worked. >> yeah, definitely worked. when shaw saw the attacker with his gun, he wrestled it away from him and threw it over the waffle house counter. police say those actions saved many lives. the gunman left on foot. police believe he walked to his apartment complex to put on a pair of pants. travis reinking was last seen walking along a treeline early sunday morning wearing nothing but black pants. in addition to his arrest outside the white house, police arrest records from illinois suggest the suspect was delusional and thought he was being stalked by taylor swift. >> i want to be careful with my comments. someone is going to be responsible for charging him and hopefully a successful prosecution of a case. i want to be very careful.

however, i think anybody that reads the police reports that we have here, that i have given you copies of, would conclude that there's evidence of a mental health issue involved. >> as we speak, the active search for the gunman continues here in the nashville suburb of antioch. police say there's no credible sightings since early sunday morning. back to you, jon. >> jon: sad story. jonathan serrie from antioch. thank you. >> so the white house is gearing up for a first in the trump presidency. a state visit. this one with emanuel macron who will arrive in washington in less than 2 1/2 hours from now. they have a lot on their agenda. >> we want to deepen the relationship, talk about security. you mentioned iran. president macron talked about russia over the weekend.

there's a whole host of issues that president macron and president trump want to talk about. they talk frequently on the phone. that i have a close personal relationship. >> kevin corke is live on the north lawn with more. hi, kevin. >> as you pointed out, so much to get to and the stakes couldn't be much higher. macron makes his visit here among concerns around the globe that the president will pull back from the iran nuclear deal. while the president and his french counterpart, mr. macron is not only hoping to reinforce a legacy with the french but to emphasize their bold new future. standing together on issues surrounding security and trade and the environment and yes, as you can imagine, policies surrounding the iran nuclear deal. >> the president has been very clear about how he feels about this deal and some changes that he wants to see reflected will

certainly come up. i'm not going to get ahead anything that the president may or may not commit to and what he would want to see. he's been very clear about the dislike for the deal and how we want something better. >> for his part, president macron is taking sort of a long view here, julie. noting his relationship with the president is one of friendship and pragmatism. >> even after the war in isis, the u.s., france, our allies, all the countries of the region, even russia and turkey will have very important role to play in order to create the future for syria. >> all part of a week of diplomacy for russia and one

where angela merkel will may her way here. we have a briefing at 1:00 p.m. back to you. >> jon: france's president shares a common bond with president trump when it comes to politics. >> we have a special relationship. we are a maverick of the system. i think president trump's election was an unexpected and same thing in my country. we're not part of the classical system. >> and tom rogan covers politics for "the washington examiner." president macron describes himself as a maverick. by do they get along so well or why do they seem to? >> the first reason, jon, is

that president macron since entering office has made a very deliberate and clear start in terms of not criticizing president trump in the media. where he criticizes him, he qualifies the criticism to specific issues. he says look. he's a great partner but we disagree on that. if you contract that with chancellor angela merkel who kevin corke notes is coming this week as well. i think that appeals to president trump's personal approach towards foreign leaders. i also think on the issues, there's a lot of alignment below the service in terms of issues like iran. >> and isis as well. both france and the united states have a strong interest in wiping isis from the face of the earth. >> that's correct. no, the french government has especially under president macron escalated the number of special operations forces on the ground in syria, working alongside the u.s. and special

forces. that's a tangible show of french power. when president trump sees the intelligence briefing that says who is on the ground, who is putting their people in harm's way to support our alliance, macron is high up on that list. the president pays heed to that. as an extension, president macron has pledged and is in the process of doing so to increase france's defense spending to 2% of gdp, which is the nato target. president trump has been very upset with some european member states of nato that have not done that. it shows trump that macron can say look, i'm speaking nicely to you but i'm doing things that you have said you care about and here are the facts of those things. >> macron spoke about the common threat of isis and some nation states as well. listen to this. >> i will be very blunt. the day we win against isis, if

we leave definitely and totally, even from a political point of view, we leave the floor to the iranian regime, bashar al-assad and his guys and they will prepare the new war. that i will fuel the new terrorists. >> jon: quite a difference from the obama administration where engagement with the iranians seemed to be a key pillar of foreign policy. >> yes. what you're seeing there really is the sort of tip of the iceberg from macron. as much as the french would much prefer president trump to stay in the iran deal as it is, on things like ballistic missile development, also the actions of the iranian revolutionary army, the french alongside the united states with engagement.

there's more french action against iran than under the obama administration. trump knows that. that doesn't make the news sometimes, but it matters because it signifies a closeness, a sense of shared interests in trying to restrain iranian influence and also as an addendum to that, the french are very tough in terms of supporting the u.s. line on counter terrorism and the political moderation reforms of mohammed bin saudi, the crown prince. >> tom rogan from "the washington examiner." busy week in washington, especially at the white house. thanks, tom. >> thank you. >> the sole surviving suspect from the paris terror attacks receiving a jail sentence in belgium. why he is being sentenced and how he's been sentenced before the paris attacks trial. plus, some republicans rattled over the michael cohen raid as they try to find out if feds

seized communications between him and president trump. is the president being investigated? next. >> it's not just any lawyer we're talking about. we're talking about the lawyer for the president of the united states. i accept i don't bike the miles i used to. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter where i ride, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding,

>> jon: the only surviving suspect in the 2015 paris terror attacks receives a 20-year prison sentence for a different crime, a belgian court found him guilty of attempted murder over a shootout. he was arrested three days later. the raid was carried out after a four-month man hunt was a his alleged participating in plotting the 2015 attacks in paris and brussels. they killed 30 people at a concert hall, restaurant and bars. police said he fled the city and made his way over the french

belgian border. >> julie: mounting speculation from some republicans after the raid on the president's attorney, michael cohen. congressman jim jordan sending a letter to jeff sessions asking him if he was consulted beforehand. this as deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, who he appointed, tells the president that he's not the target of the cohen investigation. here's the congressman a short time ago. >> on the michael cohen raid, was the attorney general consulted? did rod rosenstein talk to the attorney general? remember, this raid was run out of not under the umbrella of the special counsel but it was rod rosenstein according to press records who said let's seek a warrant and kick in the door of the president's lawyer. >> julie: let's bring in louis gomert. thanks for talking to us. >> great to be with you. thank you.

>> julie: the president is tweeting how gop lawmakers are asking sessions to investigate comey and hillary clinton and he also writes with good luck with that request. that's obviously dripping in sarcasm. he doesn't think it will get done. it's unlikely possibly that anybody is going to investigate comey when the president himself points out the fact that by leaking this information, it's actually illegal and that those memos in fact belong to the federal government. what do you make of the president's disbelief that lawmakers will get anywhere with this? >> well, the president's tweets reflect reality and the fact that clinton should have been thoroughly investigated but it didn't happen under obama. they covered for her every which way to try to help her be president. there is an investigation going on with regard to hillary clinton and the clinton foundation and the russia

uranium business. that also points to the fact that rosenstein should be gone. he appointed mueller when he and mueller both knew, they had both been investigating the clinton foundation, russia getting our uranium, all the legality around that. they newell. they were involved in that. yet they -- he appoints mueller, his buddy investigating the uranium story to investigate trump or his administration. i mean, it's so outrageous. they knew the answer. i can tell you, i department need to sign on to a letter to find out whether or not jeff sessions knew about the raid or cohen's home. it's an outrageous raid. anybody that knows the law should be outraged. some people hate the president

so much, it overwhelmed their ability to understand and know the law that they studied. i can tell you, jeff sessions didn't know and i trust my sources a lot more than any that "the washington post" or others are using. and also, "the washington post" story that sessions is going to resign if rosenstein were fired, i don't believe that. it's more manipulations from "the washington post." >> julie: jeff sessions doesn't want to go anywhere but he's saving face for rosenstein. >> jeff is a loyal guy. he was a pointed by the president but he also appointed rod rosenstein. jeff sessions does not want out. here's my question though. if -- >> let me tell you, he knows more about rosenstein today and some of the people that have been undermining him, making him look bad. he's finding out more all the time about his appointment.

so i don't believe he will be quitting rosenstein needs to go. he has to go. >> julie: what if that raid on michael cohen's office had anything to do with the russian investigation? the attorney general accused himself in the russian investigation. how could this get complicated for jeff sessions? >> well, i don't think it can get complicated for jeff sessions. he should have been consulted before the raid took place. it was outside the purview. by the way, if it had had anything to do with russia, then mueller didn't need to ask anybody's permission. he needed to go after it. as you know, that raid was conducted by using the u.s. attorney because mueller said it was outside his purview and his purview included russia. it had nothing to do with russia and had everything to try to get

something on cohen so he would agree to testify to pin something on the president. that's what it involved. >> julie: all right. more to come. thanks very much, congressman louie gohmert. >> thank you. >> jon: president trump's nominee for secretary of state faces rare opposition. the latest from capitol hill. plus, kellyanne conway lashes out after cnn asks about her husband. >> it's fascinating to me that cnn would go there. but it's very good for the whole world to have just witnessed that it's now fair game what people's -- how people's spouses and significant others may differ.

>> julie: right now police finding no suspicious circumstances of a grammy nominated swedish d.j. the dance music star was found dead friday in oman's capitol still. two autopsies have been pe formed but the cause of the death has not been released. the star was vacationing in oman. >> you just went there. >> yes. >> look, differences of opinion -- >> by the way -- >> i'm just asking about -- >> it was meant to harass and embarrass? >> jon: kellyanne conway pushing back after cnn asks her about critical tweets her lawyer husband has made against the trump administration. conway implying the question is a sexist example of a media double standard. is it? we'll ask our panel. allie stuckey is host of the

conservative millennial. chris freits is host of politics inside out on sirius xm potus. and is there anything about asking about kellyanne conway's critical tweets? >> no. i think she was doing her job. let's take a look at george conway. he's a prominent lawyer. he's a guy that president trump was considering for a solicitor general. he's not a stay behind the scenes husband. he's been in the news himself and he's made news with critical tweets. he's been critical of how the trump handled the roll out of the muslim ban. he talks about the president's tweets, how that might hurt their security case. he's been critical of the communications strategy at the white house. it's very hard to be communications director when you have a president that is offer

changing his position. so to ask kellyanne conway what is happening with your husband's tweets seems in the realm here, john. it was a responsible question by an excellent journalist and dana did the right thing asking the question on a lot of people's minds. it's interesting to watch. the james carville stuff is all interesting to political insiders. this was a very similar situation here where you have two spouses that aren't necessarily lining up on their public positions and dana asked about it. >> jon: allie, nobody is asking mary madeline to talk about james carville's questions. they're opposing points of view. >> yes, it was fascinating television. the reason why is because it's so symbolic of the tension that we've seen between this

administration and the media. we decry the negative aspects but it's a good thing. i think it's good that dana stood her ground and it's good that kellyanne conway voiced her opinion. it's good that the media and politicians are holding each other accountable, they can have these arguments openly. i don't think dana wanted to bash kellyanne conway. he has tens of thousands of followers on twitter and i agree with kellyann being able to stand her ground when she needed to. >> jon: she did well. you go back to the campaign when hillary clinton, donald trump was facing all kinds of accusations about the access hollywood tape. nobody was asking hillary clinton about the guy she's married to. it does seem sometimes there's a double standard in that regard. >> i think people were bringing

up bill clinton during the campaign. they made the case on a lot of democrats were put in a very tough position to be able to criticize donald trump when they had supported bill clinton in the past. bill clinton wasn't on the ballot but still being asked about in the same way that kellyanne conway's husband became news because he was disagreeing with the trump administration. to be fair here, jon, he's a very strong supporter of the trump administration. he has some critiques, some things that were done wrong. it's like something that you or i might do if we had kellyanne on our shows. i would ask that question every day of the week and twice on sun because it could spurn an interesting answer. if this is something that kellyanne conway wanted to stoke, she could have said it differently. look, i don't speak for my husband. i end it there.

she made a case that this was a sexist out of bounds questions. >> and allie, you probably would have asked her the same thing. >> i probably would have. i think it made good television. dana was justified. the fact of the matter is, the administration has continued to push back against what they at least believe is a false narrative or unfair coverage in the media. and i think that's what the american people want to see. i think cnn and other outlets should stand their ground if they think that they are covering this administration and even kellyanne conway fairly. >> jon: thanks. good discussion. >> thank you. >> julie: mike pompeo facing a major set back when an unfavorable outcome could mean for pompeo. president trump calling the latest pledge from north korea good news for the world. some are not convinced kim

jong-un will actually see it through. we'll have the latest on u.s.-north korea relations next. >> donald trump has shaken this up. he has kim jong-un on the defensive. that's why you're seeing this. today, 97% of employers agree

that skills like teamwork, attention to detail, and customer service are critical to business success. like the ones we teach here, every day.

>> julie: fox news alert. in a few hours, the senate foreign relations committee will be voting on whether to endorse mike pompeo to be the next secretary of state.

white house press secretary, sarah sanders is urging committee members to put politics aside. >> we certainly hope that some members will change their minds. at some point, democrats have to decide whether they love this country more than they hate this president. they have to decide to put the safety and the security and the diplomacy ahead of their very game and we hope they will. >> julie: rich edson is live with more. >> a major development in this confirmation a couple minutes ago. senator joe manchin from west virginia says he plans on vote to support mike pompeo as secretary of state. that makes it very likely that eventually the full senate will confirm mike pompeo as secretary of state. there's some issues with procedure and some other items that have to come before then and questions of timing when this will happen. the first move in this is tonight. 5:00. the senate foreign relations

committee will vote to consider mike pompeo's nomination. all the democrats on that committee, plus kentucky republican senator rand paul say they plan on voting against mike pompeo in that committee. president trump leaned on paul publicly last week. pompeo and paul had a meeting. it appears that that changed nothing. the president tweeted that obstructionists may vote against mike pompeo for secretary of state. the dems are maxing out the time on approval process. never happened before, need more republicans. currently pompeo is short the votes to clear the committee. there's several scenarios from here. the bottom line is republicans say the full senate likely confirms pompeo. the only question from here is timing. you have senator joe manchin and

heidi heitkamp that other republicans think might join in on the effort to confirm mike pompeo including those from alabama and indiana. there are republicans and mike pompeo who are pushing to get this done as quickly as possible. at the end of this week, there's a foreign minister's meeting, nato foreign minister's meeting in brussels. likely a conversation about the deadline upcoming with the iran nuclear deal there. so mike pompeo will want to be a part of that. there's discussions ongoing for this potential summit between president trump and kim jong-un in the next couple months. that's pompeo would like to do as secretary of state, not just the cia director. >> julie: thanks. jon? >> jon: meantime, president trump takes a wait and see approach after north korea's announcement that they're suspending nuclear testing. lawmakers remain skeptical as president trump and kim jong-un prepare for a historic meeting in the coming months. joined now by michael -- --

o'hanlon from the brookings institute. you think we should take them at their word? >> it's encouraging. president trump should feel good about his strategy so far. it produced anxiety in china and north korea, which has contributed to kim's charm offensive. president kim will try to get the best possible due for the fewest possible concessions and probably is not really interested in quickly denuclearizing. if what we mean by that is a complete elimination of his nuclear arsenal. i think we have to be realistic about what he is talking about. it's very important for president trump to stay very calm and realistic about what could be on the table here and to think through with his team various scenarios so we don't give too much for what turns out to be a small north korean

concession. i'm encouraged, but a long way to do. >> jon: here's what the president tweeted about this yesterday. he wrote "we are a long way from conclusion on north korea. maybe things will work out, maybe they won't. only time will tell. the work i'm doing now should have been done a long time ago." he doesn't often fail to remind us that a number of presidents have dealt with kim jong-un and his predecessors and nobody has really brought north korea to heel. >> that's right. and one of the nice things about this issue, if you want to look for a silver lining, it's not a good issue for partisan acrimony. both sides have struggled with north korea. and specifically with all three kims. mr. kim's father and grandfather. during the clinton, bush and obama and trump years. let's not celebrate too soon. there were periods when temporarily things looked promising for a while as well.

especially with clinton and george w. bush. maybe not so much with president obama. therefore president trump knows this, that he can't take this to the bank. he tweeted as much. there's a long ways to go before we even get a modest deal much less complete denuclearization. so so far so good on the strategy. we haven't really seen any verifiable concessions yet. >> verification is the key here. if the north has agreed to deals in the past, which they have instantly almost violated, if they're going to make concessions, they have to be verifiable. >> that's right. a minimum requirement for the united states, even for an interim deal, is a cessation of nuclear production, not just testing but production of new materials that can be used in a bomb and the bombs themselves. so we're going to have to have the kind of access to the centrifuges, to the nuclear reactors that we have tried to have around the world and trying

to limit proliferation over the years. not necessarily the united states, but some kind of a neutral professional dependable monitoring agency. so you have to go well beyond the freeze on testing of missiles that president kim just promised. there's got to be a stop at a minimum on the building of new capability. >> neil: it's fascinating to watch. let's hope that that can happen. michael o'hanlon from the brookings institution. thank you. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> julie: a free airline snack costing one traveler almost as much as the plane ticket. we're not talking peanuts here. why did a colorado woman pay $500 for an apple? plus, does the lawsuit filed by the dnc against russia, wikileaks and the trump campaign have any legal legs to stand or or is it just another fund-raising tool? we'll debate next with our panel. >> we can't afford not to do

this. when you look ahead and you see what was done before and what they're trying to do again, our democracy is at stake. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

>> take a look. this could be the most expensive apple in the world. a colorado woman paid $500 for trying to take a red delicious through u.s. customs in minneapolis. she was flying from paris to the u.s. when she's given the fruit as an in-flight snack. she wasn't that hungry at the time, so she decided to keep the apple in her carry-on bag for her next connection. the border agent found the fruit and issued the hefty fine for not declaring agricultural produce. >> he asked me if my trip to france was expensive. i said, well, yeah, you know. i didn't understand why he asked the question. he said it's about to get more

expensive after i charge you $500. it's unfortunate that someone has to go through that and be treated like a criminal over a piece of fruit. >> jon: tadlock is challenging the fine in court. >> julie: we have new information for you on democrats on the defensive after the democratic national committee filed a lawsuit alleging russia, wikileaks and the trump campaign all conspired to interfere with the 2016 presidential elections. tom perez defending the multimillion dollar suit yesterday. >> i believe in doing your homework. over the course of the last year, we have seen i think a mountain of evidence of collusion between the campaign and the russians to basically affect our democracy. this administration is compromised. i want to make sure we send a very clear signal. >> julie: let's bring in our panel. talk show host richard fowler,

and michael singleton. he worked on the gingrich campaign for romney and ryan and ben carson. so the dnc is defending its lawsuit against the trump campaign, russia and wikileaks. they're seeing every single personal involved or entity involved, which seems like they're pulling at straws. obviously this lawsuit comes in the midst of months away from the mid-terms. richard, first of all, if it was so urgent, why did they wait till now? why not last year? >> listen, i have a big problem with this lawsuit. if we want to have a -- debate this russia thing, let's debate it in the american people. we can invest this money in races that we can win. what we saw yesterday on some of the sunday shows, we have a chance to pick up a senate seat? tennessee and in nevada.

we can win back the senate and the house. i'd rather see this million dollars in the ballot box and not in court and win back the house and the senate and win back some governors mansions and let's change policy. that's where the democrats should be focused on and let robert mueller and his team do their job and win back the american people. >> julie: maybe they show focus on winning. the latest abc news poll is showing that the margin is narrowing. democrats back in january were leading republicans by 14 points. now just most recently according to this poll, democrats only have a narrow margin lead of just 4 points. why do you think that is? >> well, look, i think if you look at that same poll, they only have a 4 percentage point edge over republicans. that's not including margin of error. you look at the real clear politics poll, which is a

composite of several polls, that only gives democrats a 6 percentage point edge over republicans. so look, i think when tom perez made the case that some kind of way that the dnc knows that there was collusion between the campaign and russia, if that's the case, in some kind of way that know more than robert mueller and the investigators are looking into this. a year later, we have not been told whether or not there was any poll collusion. there's still a continuing investigation. the democrats cannot rely on this strategy of trump is horrible, we dislike trump, there was collusion so vote for us. where is there actual message to the american people? where is their message on the economy? what is their foreign policy message? how will they handle north korea and syria? we don't have answers to those questions. as americans begin to look closer and closer as we take heed to the mid terms, they're going to begin to look at both parties and the democrats don't

have the answers. >> julie: i want you to react to, this michael goodwin says the democrats are getting desperate as the mueller probe appears to be stalling. top dems are giving up. >> julie: richard, are dems getting desperate? >> no, we're not getting desperate. listen, there might be merit to the lawsuit but i disagree with it. the robert mueller investigation is one thing and this lawsuit is one thing. let's been clear here. in all the races that we've seen so far, all the special elections, the virginia governor's race, democrats won. and our message is simple. the bills are too high. prescription drug costs -- >> but you guys running virginia, that's -- >> wait a minute.

i let you talk. let me -- >> julie: go ahead. i have something to say. go. >> but the point is simple here. when families go home and they're sitting at their kitchen tables, they're not sure how they make ends meet. the trump economy isn't working for them. when democrats are having this conversation with them, we're saying our way is better. we have a better way to do it and the voters understand that and that's why time after time they vote democrat. in the virginia governor's race and the alabama senate race -- >> julie: if you look at the state of the economy, the ability to find a better job has gone up. have you look at younger's ability to enter the job market? banks are willing to loan money and democrats have to race against this in the mid-terms. look at your state of the economy. are you better off today than a year ago? that's the question voters ask themselves. that's all the time we have. i apologize. thanks both for coming on. >> thank you. >> thanks, julie. >> jon: baby makes five.

the duke and duchess of cambridge welcome a new addition to the royal family.

>> julie: terrible luck. just 20 years old, dylan mcwilliams of colorado has been bitten but a shark, a bear and a rattle snake. the shark attack happening just last week in hawaii. that run-in leaving him with several stitches in his leg. last year he had to get nine staples in his head after a bear invaded his camp site. as for the rattle snake, this happened three years ago while he was visiting utah. dylan is doing fine and taking it in stride. maybe it's a sign that he should stay inside for a while and

avoid thunderclouds. he's chances of getting hit by lightning is probably greater. >> jon: breaking right now, the royal baby is here! it's a boy. >> julie: whoo-hoo! >> jon: britain's royal palace announcing the birth of the new baby weighing in at a healthy 8 pounds and 7 ounces. benjamin hall live in london with more. >> jon, the long wait is over. the u.k. is celebrating. kensington palace announcing that kate gave birth to a boy and he will be fifth in line to the british throne. she arrived at the hospital at 6 a.m. and born five hours later. 8 pounds and 7 ounces and reflecting the modern royal family. the birth was announced by tweet. prince william has been seen leaving the hospital and returned back to kensington palace where he fetched his two other children. they have since arrived and gone in to meet their new brother.

we expect to see them shortly together on the steps. the streets have been awash with fans and journalists around the world. kate, the 36-year-old duchess has been on maternity leave since march 22 and suffered from severe mourning sick necessary. it's unlikely the new name will be announced till tomorrow. but albert and donald is in there at 200 to 1. the u.k. celebrating this new addition to the royal family. may 19, less than a month from now, another major event. that is the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle. a good month for the royal family and a good one for britain. jon? >> jon: thanks very much. >> indeed. >> julie: we're awaiting a key vote on the nomination of mike pompeo for secretary of state and it could turn into a

historic snub. the impact it could have on the trump administration next. let's see. if these packs have the same number of bladder leak pads, i bet you think bigger is better. actually, it's bulkier. always discreet doesn't need all that bulk to protect. because it's made differently. the super absorbent core quickly turns liquid to gel, for drier protection that's a lot less bulky. looks like good things really do come in small packages.

always discreet. for bladder leaks.

>> jon: thanks for joining us today. >> julie: "outnumbered" starts now. >> we begin with a fox news alert on the ongoing talk with nuclear north korea. president trump reportedly repaired to tell kim jong-un that he must dismantle his nuclear arsenal before the united states would consider providing him any relief from crippling economic sanctions. this is "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner. kennedy is here, republican strategist lisa booth and larry elder is in the how. you are outnumbered. how are you feeling? >> i'm
