12:00 pm
try to answer them. i don't think he can do it much longer. thanks for joining us. don't forget the president making a big announcement tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. i'm dana perino. here's shep. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast and 3:00 right now on the white house lawn. the first lady, mel clania trum will have a news conference. this is happening as rudy guliani said the president could defy any robert mueller subpoena or take the fifth. an eruption in hawaii forces hundreds from their homes. lines of lava oozing down streets and destroying buildings and torching trees. we'll take you there live. let's get to it.
12:01 pm
good monday afternoon. president trump calling on republicans to get tough on the russia investigation. that's after one of his lawyers, rudy guliani said the president would not have to obey a subpoena and might plead the fifth if compelled to testify. he told george stephanopoulos that the president has done nothing wrong. so why not testify. >> what is the danger in answering robert mueller's -- >> because -- you couldn't put a lawyer on this show that wants to keep his law license to tell you he should testify. >> but that's only if he doesn't tell the truth. >> no. it's only prosecutable if they have some built-up manipulated evidence to prove he didn't tell the truth. how often does that happen? >> shepard: president trump said he would love to sit down with robert mueller, said it repeatedly but only if his
12:02 pm
treated fairly. today on twitter, the president again called the investigation a witch hunt claiming there was no obstruction, that he was just fighting back. meantime, a live look again at the rose garden. we're waiting for the first lady, melania trump to talk about her initiatives, focusing on children. first, blake burman. we just learned the president will be here. >> the event is expected to get underway. this wasn't an easy start this morning. it was nine different tweets right out the gate to start our monday morning from president trump. four of them having to do with the russia investigation or the fbi. at one point, the president said the special counsel is made up of 13 angry democrats. he said there's no obstruction of justice.
12:03 pm
he also suggested the investigation is meant to sway the mid-terms. here's what the president wrote this morning in quotes. republicans better get tough and smart before it is too late. remember now that the president has said that the russia investigation was an excuse by the democrats for 2016. now it appears he's turning his eye on 2018. i asked the press secretary, sarah sanders, about this a little while ago. listen here. >> the fact that we're still talking about it will -- has the potential to impact the 2018 election. the point he's making is how ridiculous it is that we're still having the conversation and a -- >> shepard: and the president making -- pardon the enter rep shun. our apologies. the president has made his way
12:04 pm
into the event. so often the president is the last one in the room. today the event is not about the president. today the president is a supporter, moral support i'm sure and there on the front row as his first lady can now say will be the best campaign. she's being introduced. let's listen. >> in my year as first lady, i've learned that it's often time after a tragedy that beauty, strength and resilience of the human spirit. i've been heartened to see children across the country using their voices to speak out and try to create change. they're our future and they deserve a voice. i received many letters from
12:05 pm
children that have been bullied or feel trapped from social media. i'm here with one goal. helping children. i'm that if we all come together, we can start to affect positive change for our children. much of my focus has been understanding the negative effects the opioid epidemic is having on our children. i have seen first hand the medical and personal results. while these cries are taking part in our country, the american people have responded. i'm proud of this administration's commitment to battling this epidemic. i want to nurture and protect the most valuable part of our society and our future children. i hope you will join me today in
12:06 pm
my effort and ask for your support. i believe today we can make a difference. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the first lady of the united states, mrs. melania trump. [applause]
12:07 pm
[applause] >> thank you. good afternoon. welcome to the white house. as a mother and a first lady, it concerns me that in today's fast-paced and ever-connected world, children can be less prepared to express or manage their emotions. oftentimes turn to destructive or addictive behavior like bullying, drug addiction or even suicide. i feel strongly that as adults we can and should be best at educating our children about the importance of a healthy and balanced life. so today i'm very excited to announce "be best" an awareness
12:08 pm
campaign dedicated to the most valuable and fragile among us, our children. [applause] there's one goal to be best. to educate children about the issues they face today. if we listen to what our kids have to say, whether it be their concerns or ideas, adults can provide them the support and tools that they need to grow up. to contribute positively to society and global communities. every child should know it's safe to make mistakes and that there are supportive adults and
12:09 pm
friends nearby to catch them if they fail. we also need to be mindful that they should learn to trust in themselves and their own emotions. i believe our responsibility lies in the critical time before a child reaches adulthood. let us teach children the importance of all aspects of their well-being, which includes a social, emotional and physical health. there's too many critical issues facing children today. so the three main pillars of be best will include well-being, social media use and opioid abuse. together i believe we should strive to provide kids with the tools they need to cultivate their social and emotional health. we can and should teach children the parents of social and
12:10 pm
self-awareness, positive relationship skills and responsible decision making. once a child understands these vital skills, they can communicate openly with one another and instill positive feelings of respect, compassion and self-esteem. let us teach our children the difference between right and wrong. encourage them to be best in their individual path in life. take, for example, christian from new york. he was in second grade, christian introduced the body bench in elementary school to address loneliness and help other kids build new friendships. the body bench allows classmates to connect during recess and
12:11 pm
help ensure no students feels lonely. if a child sits on the bench, it signals other students to come over and ask them to play. christian's school and community embraced the body bench and today at least one can be found in all 50 states. thank you, christian, for your commitment to kindness. you should be very proud of your work, which is i know helped other countless children. please stand up. [applause] i'd also like to talk about orchard lake school in michigan. i visited as part of national bullying prevention month to speak to their students about the importance of being kind. while i was there, i visited
12:12 pm
their viking huddle class which teaches lessons about respecting others, inclusion and being kind. as part of be best, i plan to highlight ideas and programs like body bench and viking with the hope that other schools or community groups will be inspired to replace their efforts and take steps to improve the well-being of our children. we have invited some of the viking huddle class here today. thank you all for being and taking time with us here in the white house. [applause] as we all know, social media can be positively and negatively effect on our children. too afternoon it's used in negative ways. when children learn positive online behaviors early on, social media can be in
12:13 pm
productive ways and can affect positive change. i do believe the children should be both seen and heard. it is our responsibility as a results to educate and remind them that when they're using their voices, whether verbally or online, they must choose their words wisely and speak with respect and compassion. for example, kelani goldburg posted a video to her social meade account to share the challenging of bullies. he said every day you hurt me, hurting each other. so please, symptom hurting me. so kelani and her family have joined us here today and i'm happy to return that since posting her video, many have watched it and most importantly, people have reached out to offered support and kindness. thank you, kelani, for being
12:14 pm
brave enough to share your story and also for using your experience to bring positive change. please stand up, kelani. [applause] i first learned about the consequences of the opioid epidemic during my husband's campaign. in october, i traveled to west children to tour lilly's place, the nation's first nonprofit recovery center. lilly's place puts a priority on the whole family so that infants born dependent on drugs have been given an opportunity to survive. they have been successful because parents are also given the support and tools needed to
12:15 pm
recover and succeed. lilly's place is a testament to the extra-ordinary work that every day people can do when they put their mind to it. i will use the best to bring attention to programs such as this in order to encourage conversation and application. in february i went to cincinnati children's hospital in ohio. the panel of doctor's briefed me on the devastating effects that opioids are having, but also the important research on neonatal syndrome. i'm pleased to say from lilly's place and cincinnati children's hospital are here today. thank you. [applause] thank you for being here and thank you for heroic work on behalf of children. i want to thank the many people i have met, read about and
12:16 pm
learned from while researching the vital topics on behalf of children. this includes the cabinet secretaries that have joined us here today as well as a representative from microsoft, google, facebook, twitter, snap, amazon, national safety council and so many more. i would like to thank the president, the vice president, karen pence and other members of the administration as well as the members of congress who are here today. i'm honored to have you all with me. i look forward to working together on the behalf of children in the coming years. in my time as first lady of the united states, i will make every effort to champion the successful programs in existence today and teach the tools and skills for emotional, social and
12:17 pm
physical well-being. i will also work to shine a spotlight on the people, organizations and programs across the country that are helping children overcome the many issues they face as they grow up. i will continue speaking with leaders in the technology industry about children's online habits and raising awareness around the importance of positive behaviors. i will continue to work for those fighting drug addiction. most importantly, i will continue to travel and speak to children directly about their difficulties and realities that they face. my hope is that together we can be best at helping children and families find effective ways to educate themselves and support each other. i'm asking you all to join me in providing support and guidance to our children so that we can
12:18 pm
make a real difference. how we raise and educate our children on a variety of topics will provide the blueprint for the next generation. together let's encourage children to dream big, think big and do all they can to be best in everything that they do. thank you all for being here today. god bless you, your families, our children and god bless the united states of america. [applause] now it's my pleasure to call my husband to the stage to sign a proclamation calling today may 7, "be best" day. mr. president. [applause]
12:19 pm
>> thank you very much, melania. that was truly a beautiful and heartfelt speech. that's the way she feels, very strongly. america is truly blessed to have a first lady so devoted to our country and to our children. over the past 15 months, melania has visited hospitals, schools, families that have suffered from the opioid crisis and suffered very deeply. everywhere she's gone, americans have been touched by her sincerity, moved by her grace and lifted by her love. melania, your care and compassion for our nation's children -- and i have to say this and i say it to you all the time -- inspires us all.
12:20 pm
today we pledge to be best, best for our families, best for our communities and best for our nation. now i am proud to sign this the "be best" proclamation and i think you know who will get the pen. thank you. [applause] [applause]
12:21 pm
>> congratulations. >> thank you. >> thank you, everybody, very much. thank you much. [applause] >> shepard: the symbolism was nice. the president came out to listen to the first lady. the first lady gave her speech. then they retired together. the be best campaign, the first lady says that it is to bring awareness and awareness campaign dedicated to the valuable and fragile among us, our children. the website has just gone up. i'll tell you a little bit about the campaign. the first lady's quote at the top of the website "it remains our generations moral imperative
12:22 pm
to take responsibility an help our children manage the many issues they're facing today, including encouraging positive social, emotional and physical habits." she spoke of opioids, bullying, suicide. lots on here. just came up in the last few seconds. there's videos on here, the first lady's speech, the different organizations about what she spoke just now, this is the first lady's focus a rite of passage for first ladies past. first lady trump has made it clear she's going around the country, working with people that work with children, help children, children's issues, suicide, bullying online and the opioid crisis across the nation. you can see she's brought the biggest names in washington together, including vice president, mike pence, saw kellyanne conway there. the president out and all the rest.
12:23 pm
blake burman has been watching this. each first lady, something about education. this one let's help the kids campaign. >> keep in mind, the president and melania have a child themselves, baron trump. so the first lady focusing on issues not only important to children but the parents as well. we just talked about the well-being of children, the opioid crisis, that affects not only children but families across the country and cyber bullying. something the first lady has been talking about since she got here to washington d.c. with her husband. now this is the official unveil of her platform. some would say it's either ironic or coincidental or somewhere in between that that the first lady would focus on cyber bullying given the president's tendencies on twitter. the press secretary, sarah sanders, was asked about that. she said it would be ridiculous,
12:24 pm
the word she used, saying the president is the one to blame for cyber bullying. saying this is something that has been on the radar a decade now. in any event, it's certainly an issue at the forefront for the first lady over the next at least 2 1/2 years along with children's issues, shepard. >> shepard: blake, the father of three himself or soon to be. kristin fisher is outside and was at the event today differing the first lady. kristin, to you. >> shep, one of the unique aspects, the first lady didn't do what many do. pick one topic to focus on. instead, she's choosing the focus on the well-being of children as a whole and the three topics, the well-being of children, the physical and emotional health, social media and opioid abuse. something she said that she became passionate about during her husband's campaign. this was a very big event for
12:25 pm
melania trump. you had many cabinet members here, several members of congress. jared and e-- ivanka were here. several organizations that she hopes to highlight during this campaign. most notably, the buddy bench. a second grader that set something up at his school. if a child feels lonely during recess, a child sits on it and his other classmates can go to and encourage them to play. that's the type of organization that the first lady is hoping to highlight. shep, what a two weeks this has been for her. from hosting the prime minister of japan at mar-a-largo to visiting the first state dinner and attending barbara bush's funeral by herself. now this, the formal announcement of her formal initiative. quite a two weeks, certain live
12:26 pm

12:27 pm
how we as adults, whether we're parents or grandparents or uncles and aunts or interested neighbors or just good citizens can all take part in one way or another. one more time, last time, bebest.gov. >> there's other news today. president trump's nominee for cia director offering to drop out just days before her confirmation hearing. that's what sources tell us here at fox news. her name, of course, is gina haspel. she's facing opposition from one republican and others, obviously, because of interrogation tactics that are without question now legally torture. so she may need help from democrats to get that job. that's coming up on fox news from the fox news deck. that and the latest from an interesting day at the white house already. stay with us on fox news channel. hey shrimp fans - this one's for you.

mom? dad? hi! i had a very minor fender bender tonight in an unreasonably narrow fast food drive thru lane. but what a powerful life lesson. and don't worry i have everything handled. i already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. which is so smart on your guy's part. like fact that they'll just... forgive you... four weeks without the car. okay, yup. good night. with accident forgiveness your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. >> shepard: president trump's pick to lead the cia says she's
12:33 pm
looking forward to her confirmation hearing even though she told the white house she was willing to withdraw her nomination. hi, everybody. looking forward to wednesday is about all she had to say. president trump doubled down on her nomination tweeting this morning, among other things, "my highly respected nominee for cia director gina haspel because she was too tough on terrorists. think of that. in these dangerous times, we have the most qualified person, a woman, who democrats want out because she was too tough on terror. win gina." that's not exactly accurate. it's not just democrats. rand paul says he will vote against her nomination. we've heard this from him before and it's not true. at any rate, haspel has been facing questions over her role as secret cia black site prison where interrogators water
12:34 pm
boarded suspected terrorists after the attacks of 9-11. also, the destruction of video ed of the so-called enhanced interrogati interrogation, which is under american and international law torture and outlawed around the world. a source tells fox news, gina haspel said she was willing to withdraw the nomination because it could harm the cia. catherine herridge has more. >> the press secretary continuing the public push of gina haspel's nomination. also, the confirmation that she was willing to withdraw her name to protect her agency. >> she wanted to do everything she could to protect the agency. as the same time, she wants to do everything she can to protect the safety and concern of americans, which is why she's
12:35 pm
100% committed doit to going th the confirmation process. >> she arrived on capitol hill to win over senate democrats. among them, dianne feinstein and joe manchin. democrats accuse the cia of spying on senate investigators. the aclu told fox that a minimal support role in the controversial program that included the water boarding of self-described khalid sheikh mohammed should disqualified haspel. >> the biggest concern, with the entire history of the united states senate, the senate has never confirmed somebody with an operational role in the use of torture. that would be a first. a new low for the country if she gets confirmed. >> the vote is looking very close coming down to a handful
12:36 pm
of senators and rand paul seems to be a no vote at this point. he indicated to us friday that he had nothing on the calendar to meet with her but he was certainly open to it, shep. >> shepard: some of the haspel supporters say that they see a double standard at work here. >> just for some context, john brennan was a top decision maker for the detainee interrogation program. he was at the table and making a lot of decisions on policy. haspel supporters say there shouldn't be a double standard here. brennan was confirmed under president obama with over 60 votes. haspel was a mid level manager at the cia and said she had no decision making ability on the waterboarding policy. >> i think gina haspel should be given the same shake that john brennan was given. it's fair for the committee to look at the records and fair to ask the tough questions but ultimately they have to let the facts guide their decision
12:37 pm
making. the decision making is about whether this individual is qualified to lead that agency. >> wednesday's hearing will relitigate this bush era program. one of the issues that may get lost in the questioning is haspel's russia credentials. supporters say it should matter to democrats given the current climate, shep. >> shepard: thanks, catherine herridge. >> you're welcome. >> shepard: vladimir putin began his fourth term as president today. thousands packed in to watch him take the oath of office. the ceremony ran on state television. in his speech, he focused on domestic issues. he promised to pursue policies that would improve the economy and boost living standards. the russian economy has taken a hit due to sanctions. putin won recollection with 70% of the vote. the election was neither free or
12:38 pm
fair. this was the scene in st. petersburg over the weekend. protesters chanting "he's not our czar." police arrested more than 1,500 people. vladimir putin is a former kgb agent. while president of russia in 2014, he directed the arming and training of pro russian separatists responsible for shutting down a malaysia flight that killed 290 people on board and accused of overtaking parts of ukraine in an illegal conflict that continues today. vladimir putin is responsible for jailing and murdering political opponents and of interfering in the united states presidential election in 2016. new road signs point the way to the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem. it's scheduled to open next week. president trump recognized jerusalem as israel's capitol. israel claims the entire city is the capitol. the palestinians say they want east jerusalem as the capitol of a future palestinian state.
12:39 pm
the white house announcing the first daughter and presidential adviser, ivanka trump, her husband and senior adviser to the president, jared kushner and the treasury secretary, steve mnuchin will be in jerusalem for the opening of the embassy. president trump says he will announce his decision on the iran nuclear deal at 2:00 eastern time tomorrow. this word came to us just in the last hour. an announcement on the iran deal 2:00 eastern tomorrow. the president is suggesting that he will withdraw from the deal, but there's been no word on a final decision and it will just a suggestion. we'll know tomorrow what his decision is. earlier the president attacked former secretary of state john kerry after the "boston globe" newspaper reported that kerry was meeting with foreign officials to try to save the iran nuclear deal. rich edson with the news. he's live at the state department. rich? >> the former secretary of state is trying to hold the agreement together, the one that he
12:40 pm
negotiated in 2015. president trump tweeted, the united states does not need john kerry's possibly illegal shadow diplomacy on the bad hi negotiated iran deal. he created this mess in the first place. secretary kerry stays in touch with his counter parts throughout the world like every other secretary of state. he believes the nuclear agreement that took the world years to negotiate remain effective. a source close to kerry says the u.s. should be pushing for iran to be adhering to its side of the agreement and he's only pushing that part of this, shep. >> shepard: iran's president is suggesting that his nation could stay in the deal even if president trump pulls out of the deal. >> yeah, that's right. iranian president rouhani has said if the other countries want to stay in the deal, iran could stay in the agreement.
12:41 pm
the european agreements say they want to adhere to the deal even if the united states pulls out. boris johnson was at the state department earlier today pushing his government's position, meeting with mike pompeo. johnson is trying to work on a larger deal to address iranian behavior with the european countries and the united states. he said "i believe we're very close to a position that would address president trump's concerns and strength of trans atlantic unity. at this juncture, would be a mistake to walk away from the agreement and remove the restraints that it places on iran. if the president decides to withdraw from the united states from the iran nuclear deal, there's a question of how the u.s. will withdraw. a number of different ways the u.s. could leave the nuclear agreement, which could have major consequences around the world on this issue, shep. >> shepard: rich edson live. thank you. a truck colliding with a southwest airlines jet and now
