>> hope you're having a great saturday. i am leland vittert. "america's news hq" from washington. bonus hour.our three. >>elizabeth: i am elizabeth prann. here's with making news right now. secretary of state mike pale set to speak on fox news sunday with chris wallace. to discuss the three americans held captive in north korea. chris wallace joins us live with a preview.

>>leland: congress reacts to president trump's pull out from the iran nuclear deal. we talked to democrat dan kilby and now we will be joined by ted yoho of florida. >>elizabeth: - - set to be the next cia director in the middle of the confirmation fight in the senate. >>leland: secretary of state mike pompeo has made two trips to north korea. and perhaps something even tougher than sitting down with kim jong-un, he will sit down with chris wallace on fox news sunday tomorrow. >> you been waiting all day to say that, haven't you? >>leland: i just came up with that but i thought it worked pretty well. >>elizabeth: how transparent do you think he will be? he's had two meetings, how much will we learn? >> i don't know. it's a good question. i think he would be more transparent when there wasn't a summit and world peace at stake. with this summit a month from today, i think he will probably be pretty careful.

it's fascinating because this man has spent more time with kim jong-un, perhaps the most mysterious leader except for possibly dennis rodman. i'm very interested in hearing what he has to say. the news keeps happening because i as i'm sure you've reported, than with koreans have just announced they will dismantle their nuclear site in about 10 days. there has been no reaction from theu.s. to that. we will get the first reaction tomorrow on fox news sunday from secretary of state mike pompeo . >>elizabeth: forgive me for being a cynic. it all sounds too good to be true. >> i think that's a concern. i think the president is right when he says, we are hopeful. we are optimistic. we think there's a possibility for a good deal but if there isn't, we will walk away from it. you look at the track record of the north koreans. they've done this before. they've made deals with the

south koreans and other u.s. presidents. they get the lifting of some sanctions and then, and maybe 1-3 years down the road they then renege on their promise and restart their nuclear program and that is the question. what is president trump going to do to ensure, i think it's demand a lot from the north koreans up front before they see any economic concessions. >>leland: back in the day, john bolton used to joke that you know the north koreans are lion where their lips are moving. how does the administration sort of square that kind of feelings from their national security advisor and send the secretary of state and the president saying, i think we can make a deal? >> i think it's exactly what i'm suggesting is that you don't trust them. first of all, you have to seek concessions up front. that question of sequencing is one of the things i want to explore with secretary mike

pompeo tomorrow. the biggest issue at the singapore summit. the u.s. is saying, i said are you going to demand that they get rid of all of their nuclear weapons. all of their nuclear fuel. all of their long-range missiles before we give them any economic concessions and he said, exactly. if we were able to get that then you wouldn't have to trust what they were saying. you've got all of those weapons and missiles and stuff outside the country. on the other hand, kim jong-un keeps talking about synchronized acts saying we'll take this that, you take that step. that's going to be a big issue because the u.s. has not agreed to that synchronized step agreement. >>leland: conceivably, this administration is working back at the past and realized the

synchronized has given them wiggle room: when they renege on their promises. how do you prepare for an interview when not just for an american audience. conceivably not only the south koreans but kim jong-un and his regime will watch to see what the secretary of state says. >> now you're scaring me. >>leland: you did a presidential debate, come on. >> i think you just have to say what are the best questions. what does our audience in the u.s. want to hear. there's tremendous interest, concern, excitement, some skepticism about what will come out of the summit and you want to do everything you can to ask the questions i think most americans have. it does get played around the world and it will get played or at least watched in pyongyang. i am mostly concerned about what i have on my mind which i assume is what most americans have on their minds. >>elizabeth: we will be watching. >>leland: highlights tomorrow on our show. - - [indiscernible] you are

preparing right now, you have to imagine secretary of state mike from pale is prepared for your interview as well. tomorrow, fox news sunday. check your local blistering for time and channel. >>elizabeth: scientist in emergency management officials in hawaii are keeping watch over the volcano on the states big island. officials say an explosive eruption as possible. anita vogel is life with the latest.>>reporter: residence on the big island are getting prepared and getting out of the way as mother nature could soon get even more ferocious. more than a week of earthquakes, eruptions and massive lava flows have already destroyed 26 homes and left hundreds of people without power. now, another big concern. officials are warning of a more intense exclusion that could send 16 wide boulders, the size of refrigerators, shooting into the air as far as half-mile

away. it happened once before back in 1924 when blocks weighing 14 tons were blasted from the crater.>> we plan for the worst. we hope for the best. and based upon what the assessments are that's coming from the ãwe try to look at contingency plans. >>reporter: if molten rock flying through the air aren't enough, there's also the possibility of ash plumes that could go as high as 20,000 feet and as wide as 12 miles from the summit crater. the volcano is already spewing dangerous levels of sulfur dioxide. it has a pungent odor that irritates skin and tissues in the eyes, nose and throat. experts say those emissions can cause acid rain and air pollution. residents say they are scared. >> those of us who have respiratory problems, heart conditions, any of that sulfur dioxide is really harmful.

if there were an asset fallout, that would be a big concern. it could get into our water system. >>reporter: the island is scrambling to find long-term housing for the 2000 people who live nearby weapon evacuated. also based on history, scientists say this volcanic activity can go on for months. some tough times ahead for the big island. back to you. >>elizabeth: i'll say. later in the hour we will be joined by wendy still wall with the us geological survey. she's monitoring the volcano and will give us the latest on what she and her team of scientists are seeing. >>leland: to russian bombers have now been intercepted by the u.s. air force. the nuclear capable bombers were 55 miles from the alaskan coastline. the last time russian bombers flew this close to the united states, was may 2017.

>> it's a test of wills. but the russians are actually doing is penetrating our air and testing our responses. we get to practice a little bit here. >>leland: those russian aircraft were intercepted early friday when buy a pair of f-22 fighter jets. and escorted until they left the area. >>elizabeth: president trump's pick to lead the cia has picked up more support from lawmakers ahead of her confirmation. this second democrat has thrown his support behind gina haspel. joe donnelly from indiana is joining joe mansion from west virginia in announcing their yes votes. rand paul and john mccain are the only no votes on the republicans. gop senator jeff flake says right now he is still undecided. >>leland: after the break, president trump touting his withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal as keeping one of his major campaign promises. our fair and balanced panel and how this will affect the midterms.

trump administration's increasing enforcement of immigration law is hurting their bottom line. dan springer takes a look at how the government is putting the squeeze on highly trained personnel. >>reporter: - - from china as one of the many foreign workers employed in the high-tech industry. it's a past millions have taken since 1990 but now the trump administration is making it more difficult. applicants are getting hit with request for evidence at an unprecedented rate. historically, - - customs and immigration services seeks proof an american can't be found for the job from around 20 percent of applicants and approves more than 90 percent. but since october, - - have doubled and approvals are down. immigration attorneys say it's cooling interest in the - - program. >> companies that are doing legitimate applications are spending more money having more questions whether they can obtain the talent they have because of artificial standards.

>>reporter: the government caps the number at 85,000 per year. applications are down each of the last two years. the head of the us cis says the increased scrutiny reflects our integrity of the immigration system. h1 the critics say the visas undercut u.s. workers and what bigger barriers. >> the trump administration has said the right things but they haven't followed through with real actions. i think we see very marginal changes. >>reporter: - - sees it differently.he agrees with cracking down on abuse but says the u.s. needs more foreign talent, not less. >> getting a cleaner, better definition of what is someone who should stay and get a job here is actually good news. we should also increase the cap so we can get more of it. >>reporter: u.s. companies are adapting to the stricter

enforcement. some like microsoft and amazon are hiring people in places like canada or it easier to bring foreigners in. but others such as - - are following the trump directive to buy american and higher american. in seattle, dan springer, fox news. >>leland: reaction to president trump's withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal is splitting along party lines. shocking. democrats have been critical of the decision while the gop has said almost universally it's the right thing to do. joining us now is ted yoho of florida. we appreciate it. i'm wondering, how much of this is political and how much is based in sincerely held policy believes when you have the senate minority leader who voted against the iran deal and now he's against leaving the deal? >> i think that's all political there but it's the right thing that president trump is doing to pull out of this. this is a very bad deal from the get-go.

we got nothing out of this. not even the assurance that they would in an enriched uranium. i command him for doing that. >>leland: you commend him. you see any risk to those? >> there's always risk when you make a major decision like this. but it's better to pull out of a bad deal earlier than later. john kerry no deal was better than a bad deal and we had to remind him on foreign affairs when he came into our committee and remind him this was a very bad deal and that we should never do it. keep in mind there were 400 people in the house that voted against moving the corker amendment that moved to this bill in the senate. they voted against that and 58 senators voted against this including chuck schumer as you said. it's good to get out of the. >>leland: how is it that there are people on two sides of the aisle who we will assume for the moment have the best interest of the united states at heart.

certainly members of the intelligence committee do. how is it that people have such deep love of this country can look at this deal and have such a vastly different views of it. it's either good or bad. if you talk to people on either side of the aisle, it appears they're talking about two completely different realities. >> it is and that's what makes it tough. if you go back to the beginning of the negotiation, it was a bad deal. but here we are defined what i'm trying to understand, there is a deal with iran that you would be okay with. there's a famous saying you can't have a good deal with bad people. you're willing to make a deal with bad people, you just want a different deal. >> we need a different deal. this deal to move forward. i think the sanctions should be put on. the deal was made. we didn't like it. it got made, so here we are.

we can move forward with the way it was set up to do what we can put pressure, maximum pressure as president trump is doing and i think that's the better way because it shows our resolve. it shows we will not stick to a bad deal that was negotiated. as you know, it is not a treaty. it was an agreement between president obama, john kerry, susan rice and the regime and iran which is the number one state sponsor of terrorism. >> they certainly haven't changed their rhetoric. you see video with them chanting, death to america and burning american flags. maximum pressure probably isn't there yet as this is a couple days ago and now the sanctions increase. nevertheless, you've got britain, germany and france having a meeting this coming week about how to help their own companies get around any sanctions that are put in place by the united states. can the u.s. exert maximum pressure when you've got allies

trying to allow their countries tocompanies to get around it? >> i think we can for america's best interest.when we start doing that you will see other countries come to the table. they are either choosing to do business with iran or business with the united states. >>leland: we are a long way from sanctions against iran to forcing huge multinational companies into that choice. that has major geopolitical implications when you start telling french companies and banks, you do business with iran or the united states. i would suspect the video of president emmanuel macron and president trump being buddy buddy, that probably would not be playing if that's a decision the united states makes. >> i agree with you. but again, look at what iran

has done. since they got that infusion of cash, they have outfitted the hezbollah fighting force and they have modernized them. those people are fighting against our interests in syria, iran has armed the rebels firing at our ships. >>leland: your body is disputing how bad the iranians are. does it rise to the level of the scorched-earth policy you are describing of a decision to do business with iran is a decision not to do business with the united states, even for our closest allies and members of nato. >> i think they will see this is the right decision. i think the sanctions were put on iran for banking and finances and those other countries will start to see this is a smarter move. where we were heading, iran was going to get a nuclear weapon and that would be putting more arms and the leading state sponsor of terrorism which is not acceptable. i would think they would think

that too. >>leland: aliso far they don't but we will see if you and your colleagues can convince them. congressman, i appreciate you being here. >>elizabeth: president trump bowing to bring down prescription drug prices on friday. the president has been openly critical about high drug prices in the past but his speech friday focused less on his populist message and more on working to fix the problem within the pharmaceutical industry itself. let's bring in our fair and balanced political panel. - - is the chairman of the great america pack. gentlemen, thank you for joining me. eric, i want to start with you. success or not a success. when we hear about the reaction from some of these drug companies, they are not really up in arms so i'm wondering if this is a success here. >> i think you have to give the president a great amount of respect for tackling an issue that's probably not the best strategy for republicans.

he really just let the health industry die and go away. what he's trying to do is lower the drug prices for seniors. he wants to make other countries pay more. also, we have among the highest drug cost in the entire country. i think there are some things he campaigned on that he wishes to deliver but i think he realizes he needs to work with - - to make those changes occur. he needs to make sure he's attacking this problem inside out and i think that's what he's doing. >>elizabeth: david, i want to get your take on it. one thing eric said was to let it die. with that behoove, who? >> i think yesterday's announcement is pretty simple in terms of who benefits. it benefits pharmaceutical companies at the extensive seniors. presidents said clearly he wanted medicare to be allowed to negotiate directly with the pharmaceutical industry. yesterday's announcement, not only did he not announce that

but it was a betrayal of that promise. he broke faith with americans seniors. >>elizabeth: erica want your reaction and then we will move on. >> i think what the president is trying to do is he's trying to figure out a way to work on real reforms that he campaigned on. we tried to do it the congressional body. hopefully this is something both republicans and democrats can get behind. >>elizabeth: i want to take more of a macro view to take a look at some of the moves the president has made. he's been remarkably consistent on attempting at least all of his campaign promises. from obamacare, rolling back the mandate. building a wall. not getting everything he wanted. reducing immigration from terror prone countries. you can't fault him for following through on the promises he made point i am curious as to your take 18 months into this administration. you're probably going to be critical of that but he's been following through on these promises. >> thanks for leading with the big reveal there.

i agree with you that he talks a big game and then effective game. he's always been his own best messenger. although we don't understand the messaging. taking a step back. i think the core promise of his campaign to people who voted for him was that he was going to look out for the little guy. the person who felt left behind by changing economy. i have to ask for voters that voted for president trump, how do you feel when the tax cut he pushed through, disproportionately benefits the richest one percent of the country at your expense? you mentioned the wall point he says repeatedly, mexico is going to pay for this wall. he had a chance to fund the wall in the package he pushed through. yet, he refused to fund the wall. he failed. there is no funding for the wall and mexico will not pay. i think while he talks a good game, there's a consistent pattern of thought of saying one thing and failing to

deliver. >>elizabeth: you have two places you can respond. >> results matter. this president has had enormous and great results. he's declined the regulations that have been hampering small businesses around the country. tariff tax wasn't very popular. but the market - - i think when he looks at america first policies be just like healthcare from yesterday, the prescription drugs. he's not afraid to tackle problems he talked about during the campaign. he doesn't care if it's best for republicans or democrats. he was there to bring on real reforms and you've got to respect him in terms of his agenda and what he's doing. lastly, you talk about building a wall. this is a president, we have things in the court right now talking about immigration in terms of obama's executive orders. he's doing all he can to make sure he produces on what he ran on. >>elizabeth: i hope we can have you back and continue this

discussion. thank you so much. >>leland: still ahead, president trump promised to bring back steel jobs. now one state that thrives on steel and coal sends voters to polls, tuesday. how the presidents push to revive the industry is impacting that election.and president trump's attorneys are saying they are waiting on more information before deciding whether the president will talk to robert mueller. ellison barber live at the white house. >>reporter: to sit down or not to sit down. that is the question. right after the break. it took guts to start my business.

has not said whether or not the president will talk to special counsel robert mueller. saying they are waiting on more information to make their decision. ellison barber has more from the white house. >>reporter: giuliani said he and other members of the president outside legal team are still waiting to get more information from special counsel robert mueller. he also said they are waiting to see what a federal judge in virginia does in regards to charges against former from campaign advisor, paul manafort. and whether that judge decides to dismiss charges against manafort. one thing at play is the summit with north korea.

giuliani told fox news any potential interview would happen after the summit because it wouldbe too difficult to pre president for an interview before then. is what he said about and you last week.an interview last week.>> although you might not see an avenue to quickly resolve this for the american people. we know our president will seek a resolution that gets them a clear path to getting it resolved. right now, the odds are he wouldn't be interview. but i don't close my mind to it. >>reporter: previously, the president's legal team suggested heat they could make a decision by may 17. the one-year anniversary of the appointment of robert mueller. giuliani said it would be difficult to make a decision by may 17. three companies in 19 people have been chargedin regard to the special counsel probe . of those 19 people charged, four of them are former time campaign advisers.

>>elizabeth: ellison barber with the very latest. thank you very much. >>leland: blue-collar democrats played a key role in president trump's victory. especially in states like pennsylvania. the same coal miners and steelworkers head to the polls for the state primary on tuesday. - - president and ceo of the pennsylvania chamber of business and industry. nice to see you sir. are these tariffs that president trump put on chinese steel and some of the other nods to the coal industry enough to keep these blue-collar democrats voting republican? >> i think we will see. we've got an interesting primary coming up. we've got congressional seats. some special elections for state house seat so it will be interesting. of course tariffs have cut both ways. from our perspective, if we see this directing more attention at intellectual property issues, we think that would be

a big success. >>leland: when you say they cut both ways, are there industries in pennsylvania coming out against these tariffs? obviously, they are in places like iowa and illinois. >> there are some who have expressed concern because it has resulted in higher costs. you see the reaction from the agriculture sign. you've got a little positioning on both sides. we can focus attention on some of the things we've got to pay attention to. for example, a number of members have had significant problems in terms of interaction with the chinese government for intellectual property. that would be in our perspective, a big victory. >>leland: how are employers who are - - by president trump's policies. and business owners excited about the trump presidency. how do they translate their excitement as employers down to their employees?>> great question. as a result of the tax reform act, we see in pennsylvania the

positive results of that with dollars coming in. we see more investment. our job here in pennsylvania is to bring about those depreciation changes and make them applicable at the state level as well. there significant excitement over that. overmuch of the deregulation. >>leland: do you see employers and remembers linking all of that that's happening and perhaps more overtime or praises or whatever it is, more investment or hiring. directly to the trump administration and saying to their employees, were giving you this bonus. the reason we are doing it is because of president trump. we have more work, the reason is because of president trump. are they making that link? >> i think they're making it directly tied to certain policy decisions and legislative decisions. tax reform act. deregulation changes have been very positive.if that becomes

a direct link to president trump.they are directly tying it to issues more so than anything else. >>leland: give me a sense of what the candidates there are doing. are you seeing candidates line up behind the same issues as their fighting it out in the primary? >> you are seeing a lot of that. how that bears out depends on whether it's a republican or democrat primary. we are very keen on watching the special elections. the state house seat special election in the area and the congressional special held by democrats for over half a century. it will be a very tough fight there. there's a strong republican running. it will be interesting to see if the republican can take a seat at the statehouse level what about for the governor's mansion? >>leland: you see them duking it out with incredibly tough ads. do you worry that the republicans will be weakened

and you will have a shot at the governor's mansion? >> certainly a lot of money has been spent in the republican primary. two of them are largely self funding where the third has had to scrap around for dollars. it's certainly been an interesting race. we'll have to wait and see the winner of the primary comes out after tuesday. but again, a lot of money has been spent over the last few months. >>leland: there will be even more spent in the coming months. appreciate your insight. >> thanks. good to be with you. >>elizabeth: coming up, a us marine turned journalist has been missing in syria for six years. why his family is not giving up hope. scientist in hawaii state and even more explosive eruption could be coming. why there saying the conditions could be just right. today, 97% of employers agree

explode. how many people with the impact and how long would it last? >> there have been minor explosions from the summit so far. it's really a matter of rocks falling into an open crater. there used to be a lava lake but the lake has gone away. when the rocks fall in, it creates a plume of ashy steam that can get blown around. if a larger explosion occurs is because big rocks will fall into the vent and will block the steam from escaping. essentially, the steam will get trapped and it will explosively evacuate that crater. large blocks and smaller particles of ash will come streaming out of the vent. the people that live around the volcano will see asked for alla large blocks will not go far away from the crater. the park is closed and no one is allowed to go down into those areas. >>elizabeth: so one of the

biggest risks is folks inhaling the sulfur dioxide. how big of a radius is that do you anticipate seeing more evacuations? >> i am not sure about evacuations. all of the evacuations are handled by the hawaii county emergency management agency. it's called the hawaii county civil defense, actually. we are providing the scientific information to help them and form whether evacuations should take place. >>elizabeth: how big of a radius for people who are at risk of inhaling that sulfur dioxide. what with the radius be? >> i don't know what the radius would be. the winds carry it. it depends on which way the winds are blowing. >>elizabeth: in the interim, for folks at home, we've been following this for the better half of the week. i'm curious how long we will continue to be following this. it's fascinating.>> it's possible you'll be following

this for many months to come. a similar eruption happened in 1955 and that lasted for almost a month. we can only inform the future by what has happened in the past. >>elizabeth: what type of technology are you deploying to monitor this? >> we have seismometers recording earthquakes. gps receivers that are similar to the ones in your car. except they are high position on the ground measuring the ground movement up and down. we also have gas monitoring instruments to measure the count of sulfur dioxide in the air. we use satellites to measure ground movement as well. it was actually satellites that told us how much the ground had deflated when magna moved from underneath the ground all the way out to the eruption site. not the one at the summit but other location where eruptions are happening. we have many other instruments that are out there. people using thermal cameras on the ground.

we have chemistry analysis that are being done on the rocks coming out of the vents to determine where the magma is actually coming from within the volcano as well. >>elizabeth: interesting. thank you for joining us. we will be watching. >> thanks.>>leland: the search for a mac marine turned journalist captured in syria. has entered its sixth year. we'll talk why the family hasn't given up hope. and - - getting ready for the big day. who they will help after graduation. 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.
