brewing between donald trump and emmanuel macron. pair toasting to unbreakable friendship at president trump's first state dinner. steve: they look happy there the president and first lady melania trump pulling out all the stops at the white house in the state dining room last night. pete: they even held hands. griff jenkins live in washington with more. good morning. >> good morning, guys. they always look happy. we have been witnessing constant hand shakes, hugs, each air kisses as you say the bromance just keeps on growing. and it was on full display at last night's toast at the dinner. >> may our friendship grow even deeper. may our kinship grow even stronger. and may our sacred liberty never die. >> please allow me to raise my glass to the unbreakable friendship between france and the united states. >> this after a day of critical talks bridge the divide over the iran nuclear deal with that may 12th deadline. this friendship, this alliance may have signaled a bit of a break through while

president trump continued to oppose the deal. calling it insane and threatening tehran over their tough words. his new found friend macron seems to have surprised many when he suggested a new path forward, saying that the deal currently is not sufficient and that they need to work on a new deal. macron will continue building that case today when he addresses a joint session of congress at 10:30 this morning. we will find out more. but back to the dinner. last night it was first lady melania who took the lead in planning the state additional and stole the show with that hat. that hat right there. the president toasting melania calling her america's incredible first lady. so for any of our viewers who wants to know, that hat was by eva pierre and evening gown by chanel nod to new found french.

steve: griff the dress was hand painted? what does that mean? >> that's right. note of high fashion. because, in france, the epitome of couture you have things like dresses that are hand painted. ainsley: i love this conversation between men. pete: i didn't know you had that depth, griff. ainsley: that's called can a can yocan adon't tell the mainstream media that the hat was beautiful. these are. so headlines i mowmp channeling beyonce. the white hat has caused the stir. massive white hat. armchair fashion miss that take on hat. just haters. she looked beautiful. pete: she looked fantastic.

ainsley: as always. pete: they agree on almost nothing: personal relationship can find a way to get together on a few things. steve: macron said maybe a new deal on iran, mr. president. the president said wait a minute, where have you been that's what i'm talking about. meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about what's going on with the investigation into the fbi and the department of justice. sara carter has confirmed. this word out of washington is apparently 60's month apparef text messages between love birds have been located and are about to be released to congress. apparently the department of justice and the inspector general has had them unclear why exactly they haven't released them until now. they were expecting them last night. pete: this is huge news. think about how much we learned about what went on at the fbi and doj just from the other text messages from the oig report.

these are the text messages from right after the election until the special counsel was triggered. those very moments when they could have. who knows what they were talking about, steaming about. the fact that those were withheld. whenever something is withheld without no justification given, six months, something's in there. and so sara carter says we are going to find out patriarchy soon what it is. ainsley: we will find out what's in those text messages. even bigger news is what sara carter is now reporting on. she says that andy mccabe who, as you know the ig says that he lied under oath, that he lacked candor. she is now saying, sara carter, that he might have told fbi agents to stand down when the "new york times" in 2015 reported hillary clinton's email scandal. he might have told his agents at the fbi to stand down. this would be unbelievable. so the time line is march of 2015, "new york times" report said andy mccabe is overseas and allegedly sent electronic communications telling agents is he

displeased in this investigation and reporting by the "new york times." listen to what sara carter says. >> i have been looking into this for over a year now. is that mccabe actually gave a stand down order, according to the sources that i spoke with in the early fades of the hillary clinton use of a private email. that woosk in march of 2015, after the "new york times" first broke the story that she was using a private email for government business. shortly after that story came out, fbi agents, with the washington, d.c. field office, opened an investigation into hillary clinton and began to look into all aspects of that. steve: that's right. mr. mccabe, however, when they first started looking into it, the d.c. field office, he was overseas. and that's when he started making some calls and told them supposedly, to stand down. a former fbi agent who sara carter has spoken to says he now faces potential criminal charges because that could

be on destruction of justice. pete: of course. if there is electronic communication. probably email and a lot of that has had to be turned over through the process of the oig. this comes after the wife received all that money from the clinton connected folks. doesn't mean that's why it happened but doesn't look good. steve: look as little partisan. pete: ear the leaking he did to the "wall street journal" he did that to make it look like he was going after the clintons and the email server when in actuality it looks like behind the scenes he was working to underminority investigation. the duplicity trying to look tough while maybe asking them to stand down, we may find that out as well. andy mccabe may have been the epicenter of all of this. ainsley: multiple fbi officials telling her. pete: frustrating they wanted to look into somebody bleaching the server. steve: is that the next ability? we don't know.

we are tell you what sarah carter is reporting this morning. pete: that's exactly right. steve: let's talk a little bit. let's go to georgetown university. ainsley: nancy pelosi leading democrat as you know from california. she is speaking at george town. you know she is famous for that crumbs comment. this young man who is a student at georgetown stands up and talks about the benefits that those crumbs have been for his family. listen. >> as the son-in-law of small business owners, i know it's helped my parents hire more employees, helped us pay off our mortgage and helped put me through college. would you still refer to the evenings of this tax plan on average americans as crumbs? >> yes, there are some benefits that some are feeling in a particular way with the tax bill. my statement was really a fuller statement that says while they provide a banquet for the top 1%, they are giving some crumbs to other people. there is a tax bill that

they advertise as a benefit for the middle class. and did you know that 83% of the benefits of the tax bill go to the top 1%. steve: she is doubling down. it was crumbs except for the banquet that is being enjoyed by the top 1%. pete: when you talk to folks across the board. email us this morning at friends at friends@foxnews.com. did you benefit. are you part of the 1%. i saw more money in my paycheck and it matters to me. that's not crumbs and you have to recall when nancy pelosi after the stimulus bill said well we're giving people 40 extra dollars per paycheck. that's really a big deal. it was a big deal then, not a big deal when trump does it. steve: so weird she would say for the top 1% it was a banquet. maybe she was just channeling that she wasn't invited to the big banquet last night at the white

house. no democrats except that one guy. ainsley: we have interviewed some people that have cried and said those bonuses were not crumbs to them. they have helped them pay off mortgage. buy christmas presents. pete: doubling down on it. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. jillian: we do have breaking news. let's begin with a fox news alert. breaking overnight. a suspect arrested accused of shooting two police officers at a home depot. armando horizon led into the jail. security guards tried arresting him. high speed chase and five hour manhunt. >> all three officers are out of surgery. that is the two police officers from dallas and our loss prevention officer from home depot. they are out of surgery and we're asking for your continued prayers. jillian: all of the victims remain hospitalized in critical condition. president trump praising his pick to leave the v.a. after

misconduct allegations surfaced. admiral ronny jackson had his senate confirmation hearing postponed, accused of creating a hostile workplace and overprescribing drugs. he was also former president obama's doctor. >> here is the best bet we have. these are the fitness report and counseling records from president obama. gave very high marks to ronny jackson. most impressive leader continues to admiral. ronnie has earned confidence and gratitude of my family for dill jeps and knowledge. jillian: he packed jackson after david shulkin resigned. house seat arizona special election. >> it does say running for congress. i won. this is awesome! >> debbie lesko beating democrat by almost 6 points. republicans now turning their attention towards upcoming special elections in texas and ohio both keep

former reagan assistant under secretary of state michael pillsbury is the author of the 100 year marathon and he joins us from d.c. with more. hey, michael, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: tell us a little bit about what the president is doing behind the scenes. >> i think is he a master negotiator. he previewed it in a book that's widely read in china and the rest of asia. it's not the art of the deal. another book called the america we deserve. it has a long section in there how to negotiate with north korea. how to possibly walk out of the talks and use force against one target and then return to the talks. it's very specific. president trump, i think, is respected much more abroad as a negotiator than some of his domestic critics here who as you know are unmercifully pummel him every day. steve: i have noticed there is a little of that going on. michael, the key to the way the president works though with foreign nations in particular is the element of surprise. you never know what he is going to do. >> yes. that's right. he actually says that in one of his books that being

unpredictable is the one way to get leverage on master negotiators you face. he has given a lot of examples in the art of the deal, frankly, about how i used surprise, for example, when steve wynn alienated the hilton family, it opened the door for mr. trump to buy a huge casino ready to go on a handshake deal over the phone for $300 million. all by surprise. all within one week. this is one of the best stories i think in the art of the deal. and the chinese and north koreans and iranians know about this. they are quite respectful of him. steve: i didn't realize they were reading up on him. >> yes. steve: one of the things that mr. macron wanted to do was make sure that the president in some way, in some fashion embraced the iran deal and didn't pull out on may the 12th. yesterday, mr. macron said well, maybe we need to have a new deal. the president said that's what i'm talking about right there. so what's going on with that? >> well, as you know there has been secret diplomacy underway for more than a

month to set up another agreement. sometimes called the supplemental agreement that even the russians have bought into. as long as it doesn't disturb the original agreement. that's what macron was asking. but, actually, president trump has not agreed to that. he may, in fact, pull out and restart the sanctions after may 12th. so that both agreements, renegotiating the old one, which has lots of flaws and then the new supplemental both statement will be under negotiation. this is another tactic mr. trump talks about in his books simultaneous negotiations. steve: just like that. before anybody shows up, they already know what you are dealing. >> that's right. steve: michael, real quickly, does it look from your point of view that this has been successful with the president of france? >> very much so. i say it's a big surprise for most people. most people thought there would be open disagreement and, instead, it's this bromance going on as you showed this morning. steve: all right. michael pillsbury -- >> -- i think preparation is the secret. he doesn't go into these things cold and not knowing

what to do. he's quite experienced. steve: very good. michael pills burry, thank you very much. >> you bet. steve: meanwhile lose 10 pounds in 200 days, dr. smith is going to show you next.ve and now, you can too. see for yourself why chevrolet is the most awarded and fastest growing brand the last four years overall. switch into a new chevy now. current competitive owners can gethree thousand dollars total cash allowance on most colorado pickups. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. in your noise cancelling trheadphones?ry maybe not. maybe you could trust you won't be next to a loud eater.

♪ ♪ steve: well, this is something we wanted to bring you, right now the republican congressional baseball team is lacing up their cleats, returning to the field. ainsley: it's their first practice since the gunman opened fire seriously injuring the house majority whip steve scalise and four others last june. pete: chad pergram is outside the stadium in virginia with the latest. chad, good morning. >> here just a little bit ago. members of congress who play on the team started to show up. they were stretching, doing calisthenics playing toss back and forth. this is very cathartic experience for many republican baseball players. they had not been to this field since the shooting last year. the first, it was the last practice before the game when steve scalise and the u.s. capitol police officers were shot and it was quite a moving moment when i was here last week with chuck

fleischmann, a republican congressman from tennessee. it was the first time he had been to the field since the shooting. and he described how he was running for his life. >> when it didn't stop, the barrage continued, i made a run for the dugout. all i could think about when i was running was he is going to shoot me in the back. >> now, u.s. capital police chief matt verdarosa it was a gut wrench to him when two of his police officers on the security detail to steve scalise were shot here. they have definitely beefed up security for this year's practices. >> last year was certainly an eye opener for many people. made members of congress really feel that vulnerability that exists, the threats are real. and we will have robust presence for the practice and games.

>> now the capital police chief says there is no such thing as a routine event. it's a little different to protect this venue a basic field. not like protecting an auditorium. they can basically protect anything. as you walk around the field here this morning, there is a lot of capitol police out here. i should note that steve scalise, the majority whip, is not going to be here. he had another procedure last week and still recovering from surgery. matt mike carks the former aid, now a lobbyist who helps coach the team, he was out on the field with a broom and rake getting the field ready for this morning's practice, guys. steve: that is amazing. first practice and, of course, chad, thank you very much for the report. it all leads to the big congressional baseball game coming up, i believe, in june. pete: yep. ainsley: let's bring in fox news contributor tomi lahren. good morning, how are you? >> i'm good. how are you guys? ainsley: we are great. thank you. just up-to-the-minuted to go over some of the news today and get your opinion. the first one we want to talk to you about is that immigrant caravan it has finally arrived at the

california, mexico border. several bus loads arrived there. and you have this news anchor for univision his name is enrique a osvedo. he says this about the caravan. >> the caravan was never going to cross into the u.s. from the beginning. of the plan was to reach the border and request asylum. and that is perfectly legal. suggesting that this group of immigrants was going to drive across the border mat style as the president did, is not true. we are not facing a national security crisis. we are facing a hirmt crisis. humanitarian crisis. crisis. ainsley: he defends them on march that's show. what is your opinion. >> even if they are planning to stop at the border and seek asylum. here is the cold, hard truth that the democrats and the left don't want you to understand that is we cannot afford to import poverty. we have enough of our own. we understand that these people want to get into this country and, like i have said before, if i wasn't in this country i would want to

get in, too. the fact is we can't afford to let everybody in this country that simply wants to come in this country. we have to have merit based immigration. we have to look at who is coming in and have to be selective. a lot of these folks coming in are largely unskilled and uneducated. they ever coming into our country. we have already got illegal immigration crisis. we need to pay attention to who is coming and who is knocking at the door. that's the cold hard truth it might not make the left feel good but it's the truth. steve: all right. so we have two bus fulls apparently going to ask for asylum. but, tomi, the group of over 1,000 has splint splintered. who knows how many have crossed the border illegally and been here. >> that's the problem with a porous border is we don't know who is able to get in and who is not. that's why building the wall is so important. making sure we have immigration policy that is enforced and works to make sure we know who is coming into this country. how long they are staying

stupid the more we will go back and vote for donald trump. thank you for the booth. i would caution the leftist mainstream media. i know they want to see a democrat take it in 2020. let's have a cautionary tale from one hillary clinton who called us a basket of deplorables and also insulted our intelligence. how did that work out for hillary? steve: okay. and the other part was that he said that what the president does is just all an act. just all an act. all right. meanwhile, it sounds like john legend was responding to a tweet with an a.p. report about a golf club apologizing for calling police on black women members and then he tweeted this out. ainsley: he said please stop calling the police on black people who are just trying to live. please stop. police shoot us for no blank reason at all. please stop. what's your reaction? >> well, i think everybody on facebook, twitter and instagram saw my reaction last night. this fires me up for man

anything. this is the same anti-cop rhetoric that puts our police officers in danger. when you try to get your millions of followers to believe that the police are out to murder black people, when the police are out to victimize lawful of this country, that's when the war on cops is reignited. these celebrities don't understand the power of their words. now, i understand if you take issue with a certain incident that happened, then address that. you do not need to go on anti-cop tirade because that puts real police officers in danger. the same police officers that are out there protecting these communities. why these celebrities can't seem to understand that is beyond me but as you guys know, nothing infuriates me more. steve: completely unrelated. two more police officers in dallas were shot on tuesday afternoon yesterday. i think they were responding to a call at a home depot. the shooter was immediately taken into custody. pete: everyday they put their lives on the line and you see people talk like that. tomi lahren, thanks for your

>> the supreme court taking up president trump's third travel ban today. what is at stake? according to next guest it's the future of our country, frank buckley is a professor of law at the scalia law school at george mason university and author of the book "the republic of virtue" how he tried to ban corruption, failed, and what we can do about it. he joins me now. frank, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. pete: you say the safety of our country sat stake based

on this decision. why do you say that? >> what has happened is certain federal judges joined the resistance and they are doing politics. pete: you are talking about the lower courts have challenged this and supreme court has an opportunity to overturn that? >> that's correct. that's probably what is going to happen. were that not to happen, then we would see the federal bench roughly in revolt over a political issue. i mean, what they have done over the million words said by the candidate, they have taken some words, 30, 40 words and isolated them from everything else and said anything that trump does on the subject that might tangentially relate to muslims is improper. so we are going to shut it down. when that happens. here's the danger. the danger is when the judg. judge: s decide they can do politics. what's to stop the president from acting like a judge. the idea it's only the supreme court that tells us what the constitution is, that is something generally accepted.

abraham lincoln didn't believe and this thomas jefferson didn't believe that. pete: judicial presidency is not something -- they saw three equal branches. comes to this type of a ban, you are right, using what he said on the campaign trail, not looking at the constitutional nature of it. let's put the countries that this latest constitutional ban would ban travel from, iran, libya, north korea, somalia, syria, venezuela, and yemen. notably, north korea and venezuela, not muslim majority countries. why do you believe the supreme court will uphold this ban? >> well, just take a look at that third ban. i mean, what the court did in hawaii was to say right, we're going to exclude venezuela and north korea and we'll just do it for the rest. i mean, that's just shear politics, basically. and it's dangerous. and it invites a rebuke from the president. and those terrible words of andrew jackson, the chief justice has made his law now let him enforce it. pete: frank, can we pull

politicking out of thpolitics o? is there something the executive branch can do to change this. >> the third branch the judges have become politicized. one further derek which is really important here. the tendency of judges in hawaii or whatever to issue country wide injunctions. so what happens is a judge in hawaii and honolulu is going to rule for the entire country. and that's dangerous because plaintiffs, you know, liberal plaintiffs will forum shop. they will pick the right guy. helps to be in the ninth circuit and tie things up. you mentioned this is the third travel ban, right. pete: yep. >> there was one. it was shot down by a court. number two was shot down by a court. again, country wide injunctions and now we are on number three. what will there be four, five, six, seven? pete: puzzled a lot of us that one justice in hawaii can stop what a president is doing. the supreme court will get an opportunity to hear that today. and it will be very

interesting to see what they rule. frank buckley, thank you for your time we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: new threat in the sky. nypd on alert for terrorists using drones to attack the u.s. bretvebrett velicovich used dros to hunt for terrorists and joins us live to talk about it some of the hottest new cars on the market and they can save you a lot of money, their windows are closed this morning though. janice is going to take you for a drive this morning next. she is bold and unafraid. the sun roof is closed.

france.brian. pete: our longest ally. steve: today we are hosting the great pete hegseth who is in brian's place who is off. he is back tomorrow. ainsley: served our country. pete: tried like so many of you did. steve: a little bit about that story. welcome to our house, the big white house president trump and emmanuel macron toasting to an unbreakable friendship between our countries at the president's first state dinner. ainsley: the president and first lady pulling out all the stops at the white house. pete: our own griff jenkins is live with details. good morning. >> good morning, guys, when you think of bromance you think of sinatra and davis. damon and affleck. this relationship keeps growing. we the handshakes, hugs and air kisses all on full display at last night's toast. >> may our friendship grow even deeper. may our kinship grow even stronger. and may our sacred liberty never die. >> please allow me to raise

my glass to the friendship, unbreakable friendship between france and the united states. >> the alliance may be producing a significant break through after a dave critical talks over the iran nuclear deal with the may 12th deadline looming president trump continue to oppose the deal calling it insane. president macron surprised many when he new path forward saying the current deal is not sufficient. therefore, we should stay in it while working on a new deal. macron will continue making that case when he addresses a joint session of congress later this morning. back to the goat cheese. it was first lady melania who stole the show with that hat. first lady shining in the moment after taking the lead and planning the dinner down to every last detail. and the president toasting her, calling melania, quote: america's incredible first lady. the hat, if you are wondering, by the way, is by pierre. evening gown by chanel. hand painted with silver and embroider with sequence.

her counterpart macron wore louie vitton. ainsley: i love it. she also picked out the menu. even though the president doesn't drink she picked out all of the wine for the evening. she picked the evans dad reserve 2015. i have got to look that up and see how much it is chardonnay grown from french plans and pinot. french soul, oregon soul. pete: any comment on those griff. >> no. except for you can go to the white house's web page and watch the video the first lady put together with all the details. she was really quite hands on. steve: two wines from oregon and one from napa valley. ainsley: wouldn't that be a great dinner these are the wines from the state dinner. pete: depends how expensive they are. ainsley: that's true. steve: look at those images, it was fantastic, do you remember when candidate donald trump was out on the campaign trail the state dinners so expensive. if i'm elected president.

i will probably have hamburgers on a conference table. [laughter] but, of course. pete: a little more than hamburgers. that did not happen. that looked like a great time was had by all. pete: a relationship that is truly genuine between the two of them even if there are policy differences there. news on iran and possible difference in a deal, you know, president trump very chill of obama's deal. maybe there is a different way to do it. steve: a new deal. ainsley: we have to see. also speaking of relationships. james comey had a relationship with that professor that he leaked the information to, even though originally he said he didn't leak. and but in the interview and in the book he did admit to leaking. and this guy, his name is daniel richman, and we are just learning he had s.g.e., that is a special status at the fbi. special government employee is what that stands for. steve: that's right. so that kind of changes everything. because he had special status, he had security clearance, so he -- you know, the secret documents that comey gave him that he could leak, he could, it

looks like, could actually view them. what's interesting is though, out of -- the fbi has 35,000 employees. why did james comey have to give another fbi employee these leaks that he -- and -- you know, these documents. we don't know how many times this guy actually leaked to any press. pete: no we don't. steve: we know for sure once. but were there others. this guy is one of his attorneys, along with u.s. attorney peter fitzgerald. ainsley: client attorney privilege. he shows a friend, someone in the media, a law professor and an attorney. and he gave him status at the fbi. he covered all of his bases. pete: of course he did. on the surface it almost looks better. this guy had a security clearance. comey is giving him the documents. it's no better. in fact, it's even more insidious. it's almost like leak lawn diring. i'm going to give the leaked

documents to protect myself and have some stand up. he will leak it so i can believablably deny i was never a leaker. steve: remember last week, it's been about 10 days now. mr. comey said with george stephanopoulos. i'm not a liar. i'm not a leaker, and i don't do thighs weevil things. this kind of looks like a weevil thing. pete: it sure does. the whole thing, i just gave them to my college professor buddy. steve: that's the original story. pete: original story. made it sound innocuous. gave to a professor friend and he shared it with reporters. clearly a system in play here to get information he wanted. ainsley: memo said he was not a leaker. when he interviewed with george, he did say did i give it to my journalist friend because there were all those reporters in my driveway and i didn't know which one to give it to. i picked one that i knew personally. steve: yep. all right. meanwhile, also down in washington, nancy pelosi was addressing students at georgetown university. and we played a sound bite for you in the first hour where a kid goes hey,

mrs. pelosi, my family has benefit from the tax cuts, helped pay off a home mortgage and helped put me through college. do you still call them crumbs? she said yes, i still call them crumbs. because there was a banquet for the top 1%. but then the question came around about daca. what do you think about daca. and she made this observation about republicans that we wanted to play for you. >> it's about people. human beings. all god's children. they go to church on sunday, a lot of these people who are so anti-and i say to them, i say to my colleagues, you pray in church on sunday and then you prey on people the rest of the week. what is this? pete: think about that the impugning of the motives of people who have faith and maybe and are serious about it and then if they take a policy position different than nancy pelosi, then they are hypocrites with their faith and they want to hurt these people? ainsley: many of those people who have faith have

faith in the president to keep our country safe. it's not that they don't have a heart for these individuals. you see those pictures of children trying to cross the border. and just like tomi lahren said, she understands why they want to come to america. steve: sure. ainsley: such an amazing country. we don't have to worry about a coupe in the streets. shooting in the streets. we are safe when we go to cafes. this president or most americans want it to remain that way. that's all it is. steve: sure. a good follow-up question would have been after she said that would have been like, now, mrs. pelosi, i forget, why didn't you work on a daca fix when the president wanted to and you dropped the ball because it's an election year? pete: gave you three times as many people a path to citizenship and you didn't do anything. talk about a heart. what about the heart the president and others have for citizens of this country, for lawful americans. who have been forgotten and left behind who pay taxes and then have a serious problem with illegal immigrants or crime and drugs and gangs?

ainsley: those who did it the right way here for a long time. pete: absolutely. to say one has heart and the other doesn't. shows you the mind set. trump is evil. trump supporters are evil and we're going to resist them. steve: georgetown university is a tough university to get into. the united states of america should be hard to get in to, too. pete: right. ainsley: good line. pete: you are almost perfect if it weren't for a little bit of that. steve: we need lint force one. lint roller. maybe that would help out. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. jillian: good morning you guys. get you started up on the stories we are following. fox news alert. a suspect arrested accused of shooting two police officers at home depot. waziristan led intjuarez led in. captured after a high peed chase and five hour manhunt. >> all three officers are out of surgery. that is the two police

the article on the u.s. navy capturing a ufo on their radar. she came up to him in class in front of everybody and said i noticed that you cited fox news on your last article as well. and i want you to know that fox news is fake news. it's full of lies. and you are to no longer use fox news as a source for any of these assignments. obviously he was embarrassed, scared. she went on to say that she has a new assignment for him. is he not to do the normal homework assignment tonight. is he actually to google any of president trump's many lies that he has told since he has been president and turn in a full-page paper on that. ainsley: unbelievable. jacob, this is not a social studies class, a science class, this is spanish. throughout the year you have been told find an article in the news and translate it into spanish, correct? >> yes. ainsley: okay. so do you that and you keep going to fox news sites, our website and you pull stories off of our site. has nothing to do with

politics. you ever just pulling a story. everyone covered that story. cnn, msnbc, "u.s.a. today." it wasn't political. it wasn't about the fact that this teacher didn't believe in ufos. it was the fact she doesn't like fox news, right? >> that is correct. ainsley: and did she embarrass you in class? was this public? >> yes. this was in the middle of class. we were doing an assignment. and she came up to my desk and started speaking to me in front of the whole class. ainsley: wow. i understand you are an honors student. it's not like you are giving her any problems. so, todd, you called the school. you talked to the teacher. and we have that exchange. that phone call. did you record it? >> i actually was a meeting that we requested. i went principal. vice principal. the teacher, my wife. and myself. ainsley: let's listen to that exchange. >> said you came up to him and said you needed to discuss his news translation articles with him; is that correct? >>

>> your concern was is he citing fox news hmmm hmmm. >> your concern was fox news is fake news, um. >>um what else did you say about fox news? >> i think that was it. ainsley: first of all, you are allowed to record? is it a one party state? >> yes, ma'am. ainsley: did she apologize? what was her response after that? >> yes, ma'am. the very next day, you know, after i had called the school and complained. she did pull jacob aside and said she was sorry for what she had said to him. ainsley: we have a statement from the school. it says fort wayne community schools does not condone the kind of behavior detailed by this parent. when we were notified, we immediately investigated and took appropriate action. because this is a personal matter, we cannot provide details of the outcome of the investigation. so, she embarrassed your son in class and made that public. they are not making public their punishment. are you satisfied with that? >> absolutely not. i actually got ahold of the

school district yesterday. the gentleman i spoke with there said that the investigation has been completed. the outcome would not be told to myself or my wife. it was a personnel matter and would be handled internally. ainsley: was she fired? >> no. she was not. i asked him that question. he said no. ainsley: jacob, how do you feel? >> i feel pretty bad about the situation. it was very embarrassing to me because she singe singled me out in class and talked bad. the complete situation was random and shocking to me. ainsley: a lot of people don't want to stand up and be public with something like this because they are scared of retaliation, todd. and as the parent of jacob, were you worried about that? why did you want to make it public? >> well, i mean, we feel like we had no other options after our phone call yesterday. again, this is something that, you know, nationally we are hearing almost on a daily basis now. used to be college level. high school, now we are

getting to middle and grade school even. like i said, somebody needs to stand up. he has done nothing wrong in this situation. he took all the repercussion for it as far as we know. i mean, everything was fine with her to continue what she is doing. even after this incident, she gave an assignment three days after our meeting to go ahead and figure out why donald trump has not been enough to help the people of puerto rico since the hurricane. and, again, this is after our initial meeting when we voiced our concerns and she admitted to berating him in front of classmates and bullying him. ainsley: maybe she is in the wrong profession. maybe she needs to run for office. todd and jacob, thanks for being with us and being brave. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. new threat in the sky nypd on alert for terrorists using drones. bretvel coffee very much used drones to hunt tastes says the danger is very real. he is going to join us live. everybody is talking about the bromance budding between president trump and the french president emmanuel

cue the french music. sean spicer. pete: can we run that again? steve: joining us now good friend sean spicer. we are good friends. >> we are. steve: we have been on the show twice. >> i'm not going to get rid of the stuff on your jacket we aren't macron-trump close. steve: press secretary and author of upcoming book called "the briefing" that, ladies and gentlemen, the world premier, first time anyone has seen the cover art. ainsley: when does it come out? >> july 24th. available for preorder on amazon and barnes & noble.com. ainsley: what's it about. >> get a signed copy on barnes & noble.com as well as amazon. get out there, preorder. i mean, i got to keep up with you. that's the problem. you keep turning out these best-sellers. i'm going to learn from the best. ainsley: i'm sure yours will be, too. steve: what do you think of the state dinner and bromance as it's called? >> i think it's great. the idea that people were concerned about our standing

in the world and you look at that kind of relationship not just in france but so many other countries where the president has developed these personal relationships that are benefiting our country and our people, it's fantastic. ainsley: are you being -- >> i will say one thing beyond the president. the first lady knocked it out of the park again. what an amazing state dinner and a tribute to what a great job our country does putting out the red carpet. pete: i don't think people understand how important personal relationships are for this president, too. there are not a whole lot of things people agree on on policy. a personal relationship. >> president is against the iran deal, too. pete: macron was for the iran deal. excuse me, you are right. personal relationships allows him to get something done. >> he recognizes from business if you have a relationship with somebody, that you cut through the clutter a lot of times, the staff, the bureaucracy and get things done. you look whether it's north korea sitting down to denuclearize that peninsula, trade deals, other economic things that benefit our workers. the president is using personal skills to benefit

the country and our people. ainsley: lots of news about these text messages. strzok and page love birds. more are going to be released. >> that could be its own book. romance novel. pete: we will get the missing six months. >> i think it's important to understand what's going on behind the scenes that people want to talk about a fair and objective investigation. understanding the mind set of the people who are looking into it is important. so, i think it is concerning and the extent to which will be further revealed by these text messages. it's important for people to understand the context of how some of this investigation was conducted. steve: also, now we are realizing that apparently the guy that james comey gave the secret memos to, to leak to the "new york times," it turns out mr. comey apparently like deputized him and made him a special government employee with special access and so maybe he did have access to these top secrets and stuff like that. this -- the more you peal

back the weirder it gets. >> the interesting thing for me as a conservative, is that if this had been -- if any of these circumstances had been on the other foot during an obama administration or clinton administration, people would be going absolutely nuts. but because people are so hell bent on going after this president and going after conservatives, they sort of are willing to excuse all the improprieties that have existed to get us to this point. pete: crazy. another topic we had to get your take on. you might remember your good friend cnn journalist jim acosta. >> very close, very close. i'm not wiping anything off his jacket, i will tell you that. pete: he mentioned your name yesterday. >> i heard on "fox & friends" i heard. pete: insinuated a few other things about the rest of you, listen to him. >> the problem is that people around the country don't know it's an act. they are not in on the act. and they take what he says very seriously. and they take attacks from sean spicer and sarah sanders and what they do to us on a daily basis very seriously. they don't have all their faculties in some cases

their elevator might not hit all floors. steve: whoa, so he is saying that the president, his demeanor is all an act. this guy on tv and state dinner is all an act. the people who voted for him are crazy. >> act one, get more jobs for the american people complete. act two strengthen our position in the world, complete. if this is an act, it's a pretty good play. right now the american people are benefiting pretty well. so, bad on him. part of the reason i wrote this book, the briefing, which is which is because i talk about some of those interactions. but,. pete: jim might make the book. >> i think he's in the book. ainsley: what does it say though seriously about the voter? the voters were called deplorables. he is calling them. they don't have their faculties? >> i think this is -- it's sad to see that in all seriousness because when i think it continues to show is a lack of understanding. we saw an executive from abc news after the election talk about we need to get a firm irgrasp of what's going on

in this country, which i think is a god sign. i think when folks in these big urban areas who have been sort of around an elite group of people in the media or on wall street finally get to understand what's going on in rural america, the troubles they feel. the way they feel they have been left behind and why this president is addressing their concerns is important. so, for jim not to understand that, and for him to continue to dismiss and frankly make funnel of and ridicule people around this country, is really sad and really shows you how little of an understanding they have of what's happening in this country. pete: they still think they are saving america from the president. >> i know. that again, i don't mind that from a liberal activist. i get it i have been doing this a long time. when you have a purported. steve: he is the white house correspondent. >> correspondent saying that the people don't get it. that's a problem. and when you are further insulting them saying they don't have their faculties. i wasn't attacking jim. frankly i was attacking the premise of bad stories, bad

narratives, false information. i continue to believe that that's important. because i believe in a fair and, i mean, i believe in the first amendment. i believe in a robust press. but i don't believe that false narratives should go unanswered. i think the lack of his understanding of what's happening in this country is still a fundamental problem with so many people in the mainstream elite media. ainsley: tomi lahren loved it. >> she was fired up. ainsley: this only helps republicans down the road. do you agree with that? >> i do. what happens is people who may not agree with the president or republicans on all issues say, you know what? at least they are willing to try and address our concerns. they are willing to listen what most people want more than anything else is someone to understand the plight the they are going through to help deal with some of the problems they are facing. this president has clearly given them voice and i think that's important. steve: sean, thanks for dropping by the couch. his book comes out july the 23rd called "the briefing." ainsley: can you buy it now, "the briefing."

here with special insight, former special ops intel analyst and author of "drone warrior" brett velicovich. good morning to you. >> nice to see you, steve. steve: new york city cops are a little worried they are worried that they, the bad guys might start using drones in new york city. >> i don't blame them. the natural state of the technology now is such that we may see more of these threats, so, right now, you know, drone technology is really being used in some very interesting ways and so, overseas we are seeing a lot of stuff being adapted from this activity that's taking place with groups like isis and organizations that have been adapting drone technology to conduct strikes, you know, against american soldiers and other entities like that. and so in new york, in particular, we have seen a huge spike in the amount of illegal drone flights that have been taking place around the city. pilots reported over 200 illegal drone flights entering their airspace last year alone. that's kind of a turning point when it comes to this

technology and what it's being used for. steve: absolutely. how many of those 200 are evil doers and how many are, hey, i just got this new thing from sharper image. >> that's the problem. you don't necessarily know. all it takes is one to essentially cause some sort of havoc. the reality is i think we're really going to see more of this. the technology is being used, you know, from the battlefield and used in very interesting ways and so, you know, we really need to look at this threat and monitor it and provide incite to law enforcement officials and let them understand that they need to really do something or we could have a bad situation on our hands. steve: sure, over on the big board we have a bit of a time line, it was january of 2018. there was a drone swarm attack. targets over russian air base and naval air station in syria, right? what's a swarm attack? >> right so, a swarm attack is when multiple drones are in the air and they're heading towards a target to. really understand how to combat something like that,

you have to understand the global threat right now that we're facing. right now, militants are really seeing drone technology as a way to reek havoc unlike ever before. so we have seen attacks on russian bases in syria, where drones have had explosives attached to them. we have seen the houthis supported by iran covertly who are providing drone improvised strikes against saudi. we have seen boko haram using against surveillance purposes. this is the future of that we talked about it before. but you know, the fact is this isn't meant to be drone fear mongering type event. steve: sure. you got to be reddy. >> you have got to be ready we're not going to walk outside manhattan and see a bunch of drones dropping stuff on us right now but i think recent there there was a restaurant dropping grilled cheese sandwiches which sounds delicious. we need to be prepared that's all. meant to be a public service message to local officials

did james comey, when he was director, go ahead and give this guy kind of technically an fbi employee, these leaked documents? ainsley: what is interesting. he is a professor of law. he is an attorney. so he could argue it is client attorney privilege. and then he leaked it to him because he was a friend. then he gives him special status at the fbi, so that if anything is classified he might be able to argue later, well he wored at the fbi, he had special status there. he covered all his bases. pete: that is a great point. covering all the bases, makes leaking look that much more concerted and i would argue much more insidious. he knew who he was giving it to. it was like he was laundering his leaking. i didn't leak. i gave it to a guy with classification. maybe he leaked it. he admitted giving the memos to

him. they made their way into the media. he knew the processes. he knew the law and wanted to be above the law as many accuse him of. great reporting to that get that nugget. steve: absolutely in other related items the department of justice sounds like is about to release six months of the lovebirds text messages which congress has been waiting for. also, andrew mccabe, he was deputy fbi director who was fired for lying to the fbi. there is a story out from sarah carter this morning that apparently there is a possibility he gave a standdown order, stop looking into the hillary clinton email thing. don't do an investigation after "the new york times" wrote the initial article and field office started investigation, he was overseas, said, hey, let's go somewhere else. ainsley: sarah carter said that several fbi officials have told her this information.

and think about the timeline, march 2015. that is when the morning times, they reported that that hillary clinton might have used her personal email server to send classified information. well he got word of that when he was overseas and he sent out electronic communications telling his agents that he was displeased with this some are saying it was a standdown order. pete: think of names we hear over and over, comey, strzok, page, mccabe. ainsley: it's a circle. pete: when you hear don't cover that, don't look at that. what you need in these things is context. we talked to sean spicer early on in the program. that is a key aspect of putting all the dots together. listen. he did, or we don't have that. steve: well he did. ainsley: he said it is important to put the dots together. pete: ultimately -- we got it. >> i think it is important to understand what's going on behind the scenes, people want

to talk about fair and objective investigation, understanding the mind-set of people looking into it is important. so i think it is concerning and the extent to which will be further revealed by these text messages but i think it is important for people to understand the context how some of this investigation was conducted. pete: think about six months of text messages we'll get. that is very important six months. it is from december of 2016 after the election, until when the special counsel was triggered. comey tried to trigger releasing memos. what were they texting about? what were they doing? think what we learned in the past. we'll probably learn a lot from these. steve: keep in mind had hillary clinton won presidency, we wouldn't know any of this stuff. ainsley: news about andrew mccabe, if it is true he asked them to stand down, some fbi officials said he could be open to criminal charges. we're talking about obstruction of justice. wouldn't that be ironic. pete: boomerang of obstruction of justice goes back to the

germany. nra raising a 15-year fund-raising record, $2.4 million in march. count me as one of them. ainsley, down to you. ainsley: thank you. now even chicago mayor rahm emanuel admits the impeach trump movement isn't the right strategy. listen. >> i'm angry at what he is has done. but it's a legal, constitutional standard. with we get to it, we collectively as a country will know it, as we did with, like richard nixon. you don't just treat the principle or the political stand as a policy standard of impeachment embedded how we deal with something. there is a political tool. ainsley: so, are the democrats listening to him and will they follow his message? here to debate is rnc spokesperson kayleigh mcenany and fox news contributor, jessica tarlov. thanks for being here. jessica, what do you think about that? were you surprised as democrat

he was saying that? >> i was not surprised at all. that is completely correct. this is legal question. not a how you feel question. there are a lot of people who don't want president donald trump. a lot of people who wouldn't more want president mike pence. i'm in that category. if the charges against him, are obstruction of justice we need investigations from the mueller investigation before we talk about that that is a very silly strategy. there is enough policy to drill down into to make it through the midterms and make it to 2020 win on those ground rather than going with this. you see republicans are using this argument against us, ted cruz for instance was saying if we lose in 2018 dems take the house they would go for impeachment with jerry nadler head of judiciary. republicans are running scared. not defending the tax cuts for instance and running on this argument. we have to take it away from them. ainsley: kayleigh, i imagine how

you feel. you are sick of that narrative to impeach the president as republican, someone who worked for him but the maxine waters of the world are they going to listen to what he is saying? >> well they should. they should listen to smart democrats like jessica, like senior advisor david axelrod who said it would be damaging for democracy to have this partisan impeachment. you have nancy crumbs pelosi not quite known for her wisdom saying this is someplace we should go. all the smart democrats are saying this, ainsley. but the problem you have this rabid, insane leftist base, 58 democrats voting to bring it up for debate, with no basis in fact for impeachment charges. tom steyer, billionaire donor, the rabid left-wing base controls this democratic party. blue dogs, moderates no longer exist because they have been taken over by the far left. ainsley: midterms are around the corner. it is independents. republicans vote one way, dems

vote the other. you have to speak to independents. what is your message as a democrat to those independents? >> it is economic message. message about health care. look at exit polls out of arizona where the democrat lost by 6 points, where donald trump won district by 21. it was all about health care. that is something where democrats can do exceptionally well. last week, the week before we got hot and bothered by identity politics. we should stay away from that. go for economy and health care, not trump impeachment. talk about things the president has done wrong. he is not going anywhere. we don't want replacement anyway. so economy, health care. play it straight. we can do this. 23 seats. ainsley: kayleigh, how about you, what is your message for independents? >> ours is the economy. we feel fairly good if you do compare and contrast with the obama economy and trump economy, these are two different stories. the trump economy is about empowering the american taxpayer, giving average american family more than $1000

back in one year because of trump tax cuts. about historically low unemployment for hispanics and african-americans. wages going up by 2.8% for first time in eight years. we have story to tell. the democrats can tout the economy, very sad obama economy to look on, not a record of success. >> we have a record of success in special election. >> we won last night, won last night in arizona. >> won by six points. should have won by 20. >> a win is a win. ainsley: republican congressional baseball team returnses to the field this morning after last year's horrific shooting. their message for steve scalise coming up next. dozens of illegal immigrants in the caravan are at the border of the united states as we speak. their supporters say they don't want to come in illegally? really? michelle malkin is going to react. ♪ why did i want a crest 3d white smile?

illegally and legally. apparently there are 130 people, two busloads of those migrants from central america. they're in tijuana, mexico. we don't know exactly what they're going to do next. does sound like they will apply for asylum. we don't know how many of the others from the original caravans have simply gone across the border illegally, if that is even happening. >> right, steve. how many of them are just going to simply disappear? really the bottom line question that i have tackled for more than 20 years now is whether america is a nation of laws or a nation of outlaws? whether we're a sovereign nation or whether we're a sanctuary nation. this is a very significant showdown. for once we have a president, a justice department, and a department of homeland security that are explicitly drawing the line. and what this entire showdown exposes is, that it is not just

the fact that we have had such a dreadful lack of a physical border walls but, that these groups, these caravans, are exploiting every aspect of laxity in the system. the fact there is massive overload in the asylum system. there is backlog of 700,000 cases. as you alluded to, steve. this is why many of these people are simply caught and then released. there is a two or three-year average delay in getting an asylum hearing. as the justice department and jeff sessions pointed out yesterday, it shows you what a joke the asylum process is in the first place because all of these people in the caravan had been offered asylum if mexico. they do not qualify as the kind of persecuted, legitimate asylees we should award asylum too. pete: time lag a lot of them

could fade into the shadows or decide to do something else. the catch-and-release program, are you confident, michelle, it will be actually ended? can it be? >> well we do have a president who has firmly committed to ending it. but, in order for that to happen there have to be number of other pieces in place, not just a physical wall. we have to deal with the backlog. there are not enough immigration judges. there are certainly not enough detention spaces. this is something i've been crying for years now. there are estimated 2,000, 2500 detention beds in the entire country, when we have thousands of people crossing illegally, not just from the southern border but from the northern border? also entering through other ports of entry and just disappearing as well. it has to be comprehensive immigration enforcement reform that we adopt. ainsley: do you know, i've heard that the president could do this through executive order. is it that easy, and if so, will the president do that?

>> there are things that he can do by executive order. i think those are in the works. but this is also a call for congress to step up to the plate, because as has been pointed out many times there are loopholes congress could address and haven't. why is that? because these caravans of migrants serve a lot of purposes. they provide cheap labor to big business. yes that is both republican and democrat big businesses that do that. and also cheap votes to the democrats as well. steve: right. ainsley: they're being exploited. it is a sad thing. i harbor no animosity for people law-abiding otherwise, who are speaking a better life but the fact is we have a sieve that we are unable to discriminate between people who are here to do nefarious things and people who are here simply to improve their lives. steve: great point. meanwhile we want to play for you a sound bite we've been playing this morning, involves cnn chief white house

correspondent, jim acosta. sat down for a roundtable with "variety," the entertainment newspaper. clarify, he is talking about how, listen to the sound bite, talking about how the president when he attacks the press with #face news, that is an act, mr. acosta says, but impacts the trump voter and supporter. listen to this. >> the problem is, is that people around the country don't know it is an act. they're not in on the act. they take what he says very seriously, and they take attacks from sean spicer and sarah sanders and what they do less on a daily basis very seriously. they don't have all their faculties in some cases. their elevator might not hit all floors. steve: so the elevator might not hit all floors. he goes on to say the white house attacks on the press could inspire violence against some reporters. that is his worry. >> yeah. this reeks.

let's unpeel this rotten banana on some levels. there is the very common disparagement of trump voters and their intellect and their abilities of discernment. a bottom dweller, a basement dweller like jim acosta shouldn't talk about anybody's else's intellectual faculties. number two, what is he really doing, when he attacks the president for his criticisms and his very justified criticisms of the propaganda media, namely cfn and collusion narrative network? what he is trying to do delegitimatize this criticism of the press to take this tool away from the president. when he points out that they are spreading lies and falsehoods. thirdly, what is he trying to do? as you mention, steve, very astutely. there is dangerous undertone what he is saying. what he is saying every time trump attacks the press this is potential incitement to violence.

what a disgrace for this journalist to be falsely smearing trump supporters and president trump himself for inciting violence when we know over the last several years that it is organized leftist activities, the soros groups, antifa groups, who are the ones who fomented violence and division in this country. that is disgrace. pete: well-said. ainsley: tell us about the manhattan film festival if i understand they're featuring a screening of one of our investigative reports? >> yes, ainsley on sunday i will be back in new york city, descending from the mountaintop. we have very, very pleased and humbled, honored to be a feature film at the manhattan film festival on sunday, 6:00 p.m. at cinema village for an episode i did called railroaded, surviving wrongful convictions. one of those areas where it is common ground forged between left, right and center to fight injustices in the criminal

injustice system. you can find out more information at crtv and on my twitter and facebook page. steve: to entice people to go we have promotional clip. watch this. >> 21 years is a long time. >> sure is. especially for a crime you didn't commit. was it ever a point along this terrible journey that you ever doubted your son? >> no. >> and brian, was there ever a point along this journey that you felt like giving up? >> no. steve: he was railroaded. >> yes. and too many have. there have been 2000 people who have been exonerated in this country and i think it's a grave undercount of number of people who have been victimized by prosecutorial misconduct, shoddy investigations and confirmation bias and faulty forensic science. they made so many incredible

partnerships along the way. i talk about brian franklin who you saw wrongfully convicted law enforcement officer of many others like him, ray spencer, daniel holtzclaw, i will talk about that on sunday. there will be a panel. i know i have a lot of fans who watch "fox & friends." there is opportunity to get a free ticket gaveaway, check out crtv. pete: 6:00 p.m. in the cinema village here in new york city. thanks, michelle. >> thank you. congrats, ainsley. ainsley: thank you so much. steve: coming up on the wednesday, liberal policies are forcing people to hightail it out of high-taxed states like where we all live but our next guest says there is shockingly easy way to stop it. ainsley: you're looking at future of journalism. we're celebrating our college associates. you will hear their stories, what it is like to work behind the scenes here at fox. ♪ feel the clarity of

we won't talk what bernie sanders wants to do to end work with federal jobs for all. high taxed states taxing their folks a lot but new tax law hurts them even more. how can the states fix it? >> they can fix it i think by reminding themselves what makes new york city great, all of you know this, what makes california great are the people. we are surrounded in each state by some of the most talented people on earth but everyone has a price. taxes are a price or penalty placed on work. when you raise the top rate as happened to 52, 53%, there is going to be an outmigration of people crucial to the economic health of both states. pete: john, makes a ton of sense to me but do you have any idea politicians, democrats in california and new york will look at that say, okay now is the time to lower that state income rate, otherwise we'll lose people? >> you know it is hard to imagine right now with california. california is going through another one of its booms. let's not forget despite everything california gets half

of all the venture capital in the world goes to that state. pete: sure. >> california probably hasn't hit a tipping point yet. it is interesting, andrew cuomo for all of his weaknesses seems to have acknowledged we have a problem here. the top tax rate for new yorkers before the tax reform bill was roughly 45%. it is now 52%. if you look at the history of just 21st century alone, that led to outmigration of unless from states like california and new york. i think they're starting to realize that their best resources are the people who show up for work every day in these states. i think new york will probably move first. i hope so. pete: john, unfortunately we have to leave it right there, congrats on new book. >> thank you. s. pete: the end of work. we're celebrating fox news college associates. they were nervous. standing next to me during the whole interview. they're here to join us live.
