abortioboars on safari. you don't mess with them. zoey looked nice. have a nice monday and beware of the pigs. we will see you later u. >> fox news learning of a possibility end date to robert mueller's russia investigation which just ended its second year. >> we have nothing to show for it we have wasted taxpayer dollars and time. we have no collusion no, obstruction. >> stepping up the justice department. investigating whether an informant was operating for possible political purposes. >> if any of that is true that's a red line in this country, you can't do this to political campaigns. >> president trump is hosting a dinner with governors at the white house. the group is expected to talk about border security on ways to keep communities safe. >> if he promised it on the campaign trail and elected on it, this needs to get done. >> i went for long walks in

the woods and chardonnay i practiced yoga and breathing. no, i'm not over. if. >> nascar. first time visit you had the white house under the trump administration. ♪ ♪ ♪ that, that na na na na, this y town. steve: live from studio f in our town it is "fox & friends" with our friend abby huntsman who is in for hence ainsley who is traveling back from the royal wedding. abby: i'm still here on the couch. live here now. i have a cot over there. steve: is that what that was over there? abby: what a 24 hours it's been since i was on this couch yesterday morning,
3:02 am
flight. steve: you missed a little you have missed a lot. brian: the president has had it. "new york times" burred it in a very long story the fbi did put somebody in to infiltrate the trump campaign to try in my words to try to bring out any type of russia connection. first it was to carter page. then it was to papadopoulos. now we know the cambridge professor's name. we probably won't use it. not that everyone doesn't know it. we know that he has links and the other problems with spying on other campaigns. but it looks as though we are starting to see the genesis of an investigation that maybe should have never taken place. abby: now the president is saying i call on the doj to investigate the fbi for infiltration. here is what he tweeted out yesterday i hereby demand and will officially do so tomorrow, which is today, the department of justice look into whether or not the doj surveilled the trump
3:03 am
campaign for political purposes. and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration. this all leading up to days before the election. so have you got this guy, michael horowitz look into whether or not the fbi did something inappropriate. i saw mark meadows on twitter say look, the department of justice cannot investigate itself. in fact, when you think about it, the inspector general has no subpoena power. he will not be able to call in anybody who has left the government. can't call in comey, talk to comey or mccabe or lynch. brian: he can call them. they don't have to come. steve: he has no subpoena power. it's toothless. i got a note from somebody who used to work at the department of justice saying this is sham. nonetheless congressman devin nunes who sundayed like wanted to go to the department of justice on friday to get some documents. they were not going to hand them over. he said if these stories are
3:04 am
true and there was an fbi informant who paid $3,000 to papadopoulos to get close to the campaign, that would be crossing a red line. that would be really bad. >> if they ran a spy ring or an informant ring and they were paying people within the trump campaign, any of that is true, that is an absolute red line. there is not an honest person in this country who can believe that taxpayer dollars going to fund this ring and operate like, this like what's said in the "new york times," you can't do this to political campaigns. this was done -- i mean, according to them, this was done in the spring. i mean, before the counter intelligence investigation was even open. if that's true, we need to know about it. brian: by the way, it looks as though they at being cooperative. many people might be cynical. deputy attorney general rod
3:05 am
rosenstein when he read that tweet he said if anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes we need to know about it and take appropriate action. that's what rod rosenstein looks like. jonathan swan speculates on axios read between the lines. the president would not be unhappy in jeff sessions or rod rosenstein resigned because of this. he feels as though he is right. if they can't do a good job and feel they are breaching lines of protocol then leave. abby: when the spy was set out to look out on aids of the trump campaign there is a difference in gathering intel and hard evidence that could ultimately lead to investigation and straight on opposition research. because you simply don't like a person. that's when we are seeing more and more it's leaning toward. brian: hillary clinton wants get oppo research, game on. internationally, guess what she had as a job for four years.
3:06 am
international relations. guess what you want to show she wasn't good at that job. guess who knows it the people who interacted with her. that's totally logical. this papadopoulos and carter page, this is unbelievable. with paptiond getting paid what steve referred to, it was. this this cambridge professor says hey a lot about energy in the mediterranean i would like to pay you $3,000 to write a paper on that. and i would like you to come to london and i will pay all your expenses at which time they have lunch and they probe whether or not what he knows about clinton emails or russia hacking. he has nothing. a frustrated 73-year-old professor with a history of bying on campaigns strikes out. the same thing with carter page, shows up. talking to carter page. never talks about carter page and what he is up to and what he is looking for. these two satellite people hot president probably couldn't pick thought a lineup isolated are now being targeted by this professor. steve: hats off to the daily
3:07 am
caller. they had the guy's name out there three weeks ago. the story has been out there. this is why it's so substantial. we were told and it blows up the entire official narrative that we have heard from the department of justice that is we were told that it all started with that drunken meeting with the australian diplomat with george papadopoulos in that bar in london. if this time line is true, this investigation started way before that. so, that lends the question can you really trust the department of justice, the people who are dolling out these facts because so far this explodes their time line and they don't like it. the other thing about this is if you think about it, why would the president of the united states have to ask the attorney general and the department of justice to do their job? if they knew that somebody was trying to infiltrate a campaign to impact a presidential election, the attorney general should have done something about that a long time ago, but, of course, he is currently
3:08 am
refused and awol. abby: by the way the president can declassify this information asked by gowdy and nunes. he has the power to do it. it will be interesting to see in the next days and weeks if he ultimately does that if we don't get the information. steve: the house republicans asked for it last week. they want the fisa information and scope memo. they want to know what the scope of the investigation was. so that would tell them all about it and that would open up the time line once again. when did you start. brian: add this. alexander downer, i know you know this, wrote a 25-million-dollar check to his foundation who just happened to be talking to papadopoulos and they had a few glasses of wine in london. and when this all spurred on a conversation with a malta professor. this is insane to think that we are going to drill down to that point to investigate a republican candidate, a malta professor, a conversation with an ambassador. a 73-year-old cambridge
3:09 am
professor leads back to donald trump going together with the russians. receive steve but then apparently one of the other stories regarding this professor is that he said to papadopoulos now, tell mee about the email. tell me about -- so what do you know about the russian email? and he goes i don't know anything about the russian -- abby: hillary clinton was at yale university yesterday still talking about. brian: pathetic. abby: the election. >> a russian hat. if you can't beat them, join them. [laughter] i am thrilled for all of you, even the three of you who live in michigan and didn't request your absentee ballots in time. no, i'm not over it. [laughter] i still think about the 2016 election. i still regret the mistakes i made. i still think, though, that understanding what happened in such a weird and wild
3:10 am
election in american history will help us defend our democracy in the future. abby: so then she puts on a russian hat that says if you can't beat them, you join them. steve: she said as a person i'm okay. as an person i'm concerned. ther -- as an american i'mconce. like some crazy hat and she was fog through on that. the headline there, she is not over it. abby: not over it what happened, brian? brian: let's go through that again. she sold a lot of books. that's the good part, jillian. jillian: i guess. so first time i heard her say mistakes i made. brian: but they robbed me. jillian: headlines we're following right now texas governor greg abbott calling for a statewide moment of silence today to honor the 10 victims of the santa fe high school shooting. the first of those victims laid to rest.

brian: grump demanding answers reports the fbi infiltrated his campaign cambridge professor at the request of the previous administration or at least their intelligence operation. and now the "wall street journal" asking an op-ed where in the world was president obama during all of this adding that he has been largely absent from all this drama, the spying drama. james freeman the assistant editor for the "wall street journal" editorial page, fox news contributor joins us now. james, what do you think? what prompted you to write about this? >> interesting the man in charge has remained strangely absent from this story as it's rolled along. obviously this is typical where a former president gets off stage and doesn't comment too much. but this is an issue that really goes to the core of our democracy and now as we learn more about the obama administration surveillance of a u.s. political campaign, the natural question is what did obama have to do with it, the man
3:18 am
that was in charge? brian: we have these reports been confirmed, even the "new york times," says that they have this -- they have activated this american in london to try to get the most out of carter page and papadopoulos. is it possible that brennan and comey don't know this? no, they know this. is it possible that they don't tell the president? >> yeah. don't call it spying. we are supposed to call it an informant, but not spying. but this is the big question. you go back to summer 2016, spring 2016, was it earlier? we need to know. when did this all begin? and wouldn't it naturally be a presidential level decision to begin spying on a u.s. political campaign? you would think. so now, maybe it wasn't. maybe it was clapper or comey and/or comey deciding on their own to do this. it seems to me that president obama might want to weigh in at this point and say i didn't authorize that. i don't know why they went
3:19 am
forward with it. or, maybe, was there a moment where he learned about it while in office and he said what the hell are you doing spying on a u.s. political campaign? brian: which would have been great and there might have been some record of this. i think it's worth noting on january 5th they had a meeting where everyone was briefed on the dossier january 20th season rice feverishly went down and documented the february 5th date of when everyone knew about the dossier and what the trump campaign might have been up. to say in september we know the president saw vladimir putin and said hey, knock it off. wasn't effective. he didn't. we don't know what happened prior to. that is it conceivable that john brennan his former national security advisor wouldn't feel as though the president should know that? ronald reagan had the reputation of somebody who was detached. remember? he let his people go run wild. he was known as a figure head. we know that wasn't true but that was the reputation. barack obama never had that reputation. >> we saw in the strzok-texts this comment
3:20 am
that the president want to know everything we are doing. not entirely clear what they were referring. to say certainly gave out impression of someone who was more of a hands on manager but maybe not. maybe this really is unelected government run amuck. and i would think we want to hear from him his opinion of that was there a moment where he found out they had gone too far and he addressed it or did he learn about it and just accept it? brian: james, lastly, we have 10 seconds left but he gets briefed every day in the intelligence report. this would have to come up. >> you would think. if this is not a presidential level decision, i don't know what is. brian: james freeman writes more about it in the "wall street journal." thanks so much. appreciate it. great to see you. >> thanks. brian: we move ahead. the white house is about to ban planned parenthood from using tax dollars to ban abortion. this one is personal for dr. nicole saphier. she shared her story right here on "fox & friends." that story is next and she is sharing the response she has been getting.

3:28 am
they really muddied the water. they do provide essential health services, cancer screenings, std treatments, vaccinations. they also provide controversial abortions under the same roof. they shouldn't have done that they shouldn't be spending all of these tens of millions of dollars lobbying. spending that money to separate the services so they are not taking away essential health services just because the trump administration is threatening to support religious freedom and not having taxpayers fund abortions. they should be separating these indigits. abby: you might have had a college in high school but have you an m.d. in front of your name? >> behind my name. abby: no one can't tell you you can't make the most of your life. >> exactly. you are in charge of your life. abby: important debate. they don't want their taxpayer money to go to fund abortions. planned parenthood is saying this is taking away choice for women. >> that's not right. they shouldn't be doing that they should have separated these services lock ago. abby: we will leave it right there. nicole saphier with an m.d.

3:34 am
bongino, why is john brennan talking like that? >> john brennan is panicking, steve. john brennan has disgraced himself. he has disgraced the country and intelligence community. is he a one man largely responsible for the destruction of american's faith in the intelligence community and in some people at the top of the fbi. steve, breen than started this entire debacle with trump. we know brennan had detailed knowledge of the does yea. i will walk you through this real slow. he had knowledge of the dossier. he denies knowledge of the dossier. he briefed gang of 8 on the hill about the dossier. which they then used to demand the fbi start an investigation on trump. it is that simple. this guy is the genesis of this whole debacle. steve: who told him to do it? who told him to start it? >> we think, beared on some of my investigation and for the book we are putting together on this he just
3:35 am
didn't like donald trump. got information through people involved with british intelligence. they were basically using unofficial channels, steve, to launder information like you would launder money because if they put it through official channels, something would have happened do you know what one thing is they would have had to verify the information before they used it they didn't want to because this was a political hit job. this was not an intelligence investigation. brian: i notice ben rhodes has gone silent. people questioned a year ago have seem to gone quiet. john brennan sounds like a $3 pundit, just somebody ranting and raving as if we are getting closer and closer to hitting a nerve. who were the people that wool know with clapper be or president obama be one to know this was going on? >> i believe john carlin at doj, jim clapper. i believe loretta lynch had
3:36 am
detailed knowledge of course comey knew what was going on in this. there was a very small working group of people involved in this political hit job on donald trump. at this point here's the problem, brian, the reason brennan is panicking and a lot of others have gone silent, they are not just worried about reputational harm. brennan has disgraced himself. he knows history is not kind to him. they are worried about staying out of jail there were criminal leaks here. felonious criminal leaks of information someone was responsible. abby: we may just be scratching the surface at this point. do you remember that oakland mayor libby schaaf? remember back in february she warned people in her area, illegals about an ice raid coming and do what you need to do to protect yourself? he mentioned her in the round table when he had mayors and law enforcement talking about sanctuary cities in california. spoke about this mayor. responding to the president couple days ago in "the
3:37 am
washington post" in the op-ed. he said, mr. president, i'm not obstructing justice. i'm seeking it i wanted to make people were prepared not panicked and understood their legal rights. as mayor it's my duty to protect my residents. it's my duty to call this administration anti-immigrant fear mongering for what it is, a racist lie. she is saying it's my duty, dan, to protect illegal immigrants. >immigrants. brian: over citizens. >> shame on me i thought her duty was to protect illegal residentiwill -- legal residentf her county and the citizens to finance her job and government. call me crazy. i thought that was job one one for her. apparently not. another one that should have some legal concerns here too. i believe she should be investigated for obstructing justice here. what about those ice agents who showed up at doors to deport people illegally in the country, lawmaker law breaky
3:38 am
the way. this is serious stuff. this isn't a joke. maybe she should think about that the next time she warns people in the country illegally about law enforcement officers coming to interview them or potentially bring them into the justifiable system. brian: look hot governor is the governor made a sanctuary state. she is saying i'm answering my superior. >> moon beam has a reputation, moon beam brown of making it up as he goes along. this is interesting. is he another one that swore to uphold the rule of law and ignored it obsessed with donald trump and catering to left wing base. steve: people of california could vote them out but we haven't seen it so far. abby: good to see you so fired up on this monday. steve: 22 minutes before the top of the hour. jillian has news for you. jillian: that's right. good monday morning to you guys and to you at home as well. the leader of isis on a chilling new mission, brainwashing school children. one of abu bakr abu daddy

twitter yesterday, president trump is doubling down. pushing back on the doj saying you now need to investigate the fbi for infiltration. here is what he tweeted. he said i hereby demand and will do so tomorrow, which is today, that the department of justice look into whether or not the fbi, doj infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes. if any such demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration. steve: that's right. and then a number of hours after that, rod rosenstein, who is the deputy attorney general, he, at the department of justice, decided that what they would do is the department of justice will investigate the department of justice. and, in fact, the inspector general michael horowitz will then be put in charge of figuring out whether anything inappropriate was done by the fbi and did they, indeed, spy on the trump campaign back mid 2016, maybe early 2016. brian: in case you are
4:03 am
getting confused, join the club. i take a day off to do a shoot on friday, the whole world changes it took me a day to catch up. i understanding you guys have 20 million things going on it's hard to catch up. steve: it's our job to make it simple. brian: here is the take away. when president trump is -- what concerns president trump is that while he is running for office, somebody out there in the fbi thought it was imperative enough to hire a 73-year-old cambridge professor who has been charged with spying before for political campaigns, back in the 1980s, was mobilized to catch up with carter page and papadopoulos, to probe them to see what they knew. there is not one person on the planet who thinks they played a major role with the trump campaign. the question is, how did these two people get starting targeted? >> why did papadopoulos get $3,000 to meet up with this professor because he has an expertise in energy in the
4:04 am
mediterranean? and then he probed him at lunch. carter page, he went to a seminar he was given at which time he asked questions about the trump campaign. this is in the spring. what prompted that? and then you find out about this drunk conversation in london you kept hearing about. with the ambassador from australia happens to be talking to papadopoulos. after a few glasses of wine he mentions that there is hillary clinton emails -- russian emails coming forward. well, this ambassador from australia might be a great guy. but we also know that he has -- wrote a 20-million-dollar check to the clinton foundation. why was this happening? if you are president trump, why wouldn't you be like a caged lion? steve: ultimately,. brian: brian while you are running for president. the fbi has been mobilized against you. steve: when you start to put all these pieces together and some congressional republican investigators have started to do that, is they realized that, wait, things were happening way before the official announcement of the start of the investigation.
4:05 am
and was this to try to simply, you know, get a feeler into the campaign so that then the fbi or the cia or whoever it was could say, look, we got somebody on the inside who just said this. rod rosenstein, as the deputy attorney general yesterday, after the president sent out this tweet, sent out this message. abby: he said if anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in the presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action. this reminds me of newton's third law of political politics. right? this boomer rank effect what everything was thinking what's going to happen with president trump. is he going to be in trouble with campaign administration will be if n. trouble. what we will see with the "new york times" piece that came out last week. the early days of this campaign this could ultimately turn and be terrible on the fbi at the end of this thing. steve: the fbi looks terrible right now. we should point out as well, rudy giuliani made news yesterday, he announced that
4:06 am
apparently he has been in contact with the mueller team. and they said if the president sits down and does an interview, maybe around the fourth of july, they should be able to wrap this up. abby: by september 1st. abby: they also said, this is according to giuliani, they want to speak personally with thin informant, this spy that came on early in the campaign. the spy could ultimately tell anything the spy wants. they want to make sure that it makes sense from what they remember. brian: choosing not to say his name. if you read the "wall street journal" and "new york post." steve: classified. brian: right. okay. good luck with that it's out. and it was indicated on a "new york times" article. they buried that part of the story. right in the middle of it like a 4,000 word story. but i will just add one more layer to this. they are -- they thought they could do this and pull this off. and they never thought that they were dealing with the president. he is somebody that takes on every fight. and a lot of times it works against him. whether it's rosie o'donnell or whether it's -- or
4:07 am
whether it's kim jong un. in this fight, he feels like he is being unjustly targeted. they thought he was going to sit back and let lawyers fight. he is like a caged lion. he knows he has been wrongly accused. abby: and that the evidence was used was more like opposition research than digging up real intel. steve: here is the thing. we were never supposed to get this far. hillary clinton was going to win the election thruvment would never be an investigation. now suddenly the investigators are investigating the investigators. abby: remember, the early early days of this were under former president barack obama. steve: absolutely. abby: you talked to james freeman from the "wall street journal." he says former president obama may want to weigh in on all of this soon. here is what he told us. >> wouldn't it naturally be presidential level decision to begin spying on the u.s. political campaign? you would think. so now, maybe it wasn't. maybe it was clapper or comey and/or comey deciding on their own to do. this well, it seems to me that president obama might want to weigh in at this point and say i didn't
4:08 am
authorize that. i don't know why they went forward with it. or maybe was there a moment where he learned about it while in office and he said what the hell are you doing spying on a u.s. political campaign? brian: he doesn't have that reputation of a guy that has had his hands off the wheel at any point. they used to have their reputation with president reagan and was wrong if you need read all the books on reagan and read his own notes. he was in touch. that was his reputation. does anyone think president obama was hands off on administration as so consequential as. this. abby: learning from james clapper, john brennan another one. former head of the cia. he has thi warning for speaker mcconnell and speaker ryan. he says if president trump continues along this disastrous path you will bear major responsibility for the harm done to our democracy. do you a great disservice to our natio nation and the republican party if you continue to enable prosecute mr. trump's self-serving actions. steve: it's interesting because we have been talking about what's going on --
4:09 am
what may have gone on with the fbi. he ran the cia. dan bongino feels he has his fingerprints all over it. and he was not a good actor in it. >> john brennan has disgraced himself. he has disgraced the country. he has disgraced the intelligence community. he is the one man largely responsible for the destruction of american's faith in the intelligence community and, in some people at the top of the fbi. he knows about the dossier. he denies knowledge of the dossier. he briefs the gang of 8 up on the hill about the dossier, which they then use to demand the fbi start an investigation into trump. it is that simple. this guy is the genesis of this whole debacle, this obama gate spying team. brian: david brooks is not a fan of president trump. but he says does anyone think, instead of getting all gummed up in what's next and how everything is connected. does anyone think that the administration -- that the campaign, which went through
4:10 am
all the campaign directors, that was winging it. they didn't have the ground game and all these things, they are the ones to pull off the first collusion with another country to throw an election. just think for a second, he says you can't even buy it. steve: the big scandal is if there was some sort of, you know, the government trying to infiltrate the campaign that is a gigantic scandal. but, to have the inspector general of the department of justice look into it, keep in mind, he can't talk to brennan. he can't talk to clapper or comey or mccabe or any of them because he does not have subpoena power. he can only talk to people who are still at the department of justice. is this going to get to the bottom of it? no. brian: doesn't mean they won't because brennan might say to himself right. they could say no, i'm not going to. if i'm brennan, clapper and comey, i better get my point out. this inspector general is going to put it out there. abby: yeah. brian: these questions are out and refuse to answer. abby: that's a great point. many of them may not be

>> took an animal to kip to rape and drug a 16-year-old girl. frankly i don't think the term animal goes far enough. brian: animal when talking about ms-13 members. one person who doesn't have a problem with the gang. he would rather his daughter, which he doesn't actually have date an ms-13 rather than a republican. joining us right now is someone who is all too familiar with the gangs. and especially ms-13. nassau county long island police commissioner patrick rider. commissioner, when you saw that article, what did you think? >> you want the best for your children, not the worst. ms-13's motto kill, rape, control. that's what you want dating your daughter? brian: who are these people? >> they are very violent people who come to this country. they take up different methods of crime to support their efforts. but, a lot of it has to do
4:19 am
with violence and control. brian: they cut out body organs and leave it on top of the bodies. so, when you say animals, i think it's accurate. do you think it's accurate? >> i have witnessed firsthand the violence that they have done. we recovered 6 homicides last year that were done by ms-13 in nassau county. and those homicides are violent. they have hacked them with, you know, knives and cut them up with machetes and buried them into holes that the family can't find them. brian: do you know what they are doing it too. they are doing it in working class communities oftentimes. that's where there are jobs. people think they are targeting certain amount of people. they are targeting people who are blue collar workers in a lo a lot of these areas. >> many come here for work. out there as day labors during the day and part of the gangs at night. brian: i want you to see a couple of these tweets. one is from rousseau himself. let's take a look at it and here it is.
4:20 am
if a father doesn't want to cooperate with us, he will do something to his daughter. i will -- this is from a former ms-13 member. i have never raped anyone but others did. if a gang member was interested in a girl he saw, he would rape her and claim her as property. so, when this clown decides to write this because he doesn't like republicans, this you feel as though needs as a point of education. >> i would love for him to sit down and speak to the victims' families. tell them that he would rather have an ms-13 date his daughter. brian: when people say this is something trumped up, pun intended, what do you tell them? >> trump is a great support of law enforcement. trump has an agenda that he is out there pushing right now. and that is keeping us safe. that's our job. we are law and order. we are out there doing our job every day. we witness the violence from these gangs. we have got to not only stop that violence. we have got to get them out. brian: got to stop it and the ms-13 threat is real. >> that's correct. brian: and still coming. that's what you have got to watch for these people

tend to be reluctant to take time off. and, finally, $45 million, that is the estimated cost of the royal wedding. money went towards security largely paid for by taxpayers. i wonder how they feel about that. steve: no kidding. meanwhile, there may be an end in sight. president trump's attorney rudy giuliani tells fox news that special counsel robert mueller told him two weeks ago that his russia investigation could end by september 1st if mr. mueller is able to interview the president probably around the 4th of july. brian: we have not heard from the mueller came on this. regardless of end date. >> the next guest cease no against the president. author of trumped up. still out there, still selling well, alan dershowitz. welcome back. >> thank you so much. brian: i watched you yesterday spar with dan abrams. i felt i was in my first class ever. it was awesome. you didn't have a chance to talk. we want to give you a chance to talk today.
4:26 am
>> thank you. brian: you don't have an agenda and going to bat for the president. >> no. brian: you don't see any criminal intent or action here and you are getting really concerned for the country. >> yes. and that's why from day one i said no special counsel, no finger pointing. no criminal prosecution. let's have an independent, nonpartisan commission looking into this election. this election was not the finest hour. whether there were infiltrators or spies put into the republican camp. whether strzok did have a hatred, an insurance policy. whether there was any cooperation with any russian sources. we need to get to the truth. and the only way to get to the truth is an independent 9/11 type commission. and we have to prevent it from happening in the future. this election is a model of what should not happen in the future. and a special counsel is the worst way of getting to the truth. steve: isn't there a congressional oversight right now? i know there are a number of
4:27 am
committees on capitol hill, largely run by republicans who want -- republicans are trying to get documents. they say the department of justice is not cooperating. >> right. >> the department of justice says yes, we are. we are stuck. >> look, americans do not trust congressional committees. the majority is partisan. the minority -- it's what good is republicans. what's good for the democrats. nobody asks the question what's good for americans. and you need a non-partisan commission of experts. people who really can dig into this. people who really have experience and who don't have an agenda. abby: can't the president declassify the documents. >> he can. abby: why doesn't he? >> he should. this stuff here don't reveal the name of the informer. you know, that's often the way in which justice department hides what they have done. steve: sure. >> this is not informer. brian: 73-year-old professor. who is going after him? >> of course both sides have
4:28 am
to much more transparency. abby: do you think the president should sit down potential end date. mueller is telling giuliani maybe september 1 then? >> that's a tactic and hard one to decide unless you know all the facts. if the president can put this behind him by september 1st, by sitting down in a limited capacity with questions that he can answer, that would be a good thing. but, you know, the mueller people could then say oh, beared on the questions and answers. abby: we need to prolong it? >> we need another month. brian: another tactic out there. jonathan swan brought this up on your show yesterday. let's listen to what he says rudy giuliani might be doing now, effectively. >> the legal strategy hasn't changed. i mean, emit is a will careful lawyer doing the work inside the white house. what's changed is the media strategy which is very significant. rudy giuliani's job is not to do substantive, in the weeds legal work. his job is to go on tv and attack robert mueller and attack the investigation
4:29 am

next thing you know george papdopoulus gets in trouble. you can understand the worry on the president's part, was there somebody near him? but nonetheless, shouldn't it have been the attorney general who said a month ago, you're right, we should do some investigating here? >> there is somewhat of a bee h belated response to this i wrote a piece in the hill newspaper, the president was openly mocked. people like clapper said it wasn't true. the media has to recognize this is a seriousing a mitigation. i have problems with the names of the professor being outed. if he was an asset for the fbi and cia i think that is a legitimate concern on the other side. i think all americans regardless of their party should want to investigate this. apparently it will be investigated by the ig, the inspect inspector general's office at the justice department. they're a very good outfit. i have no problems with that.
5:19 am
they know justice. they have been very hard-hitting. we've seen the work in the past. it has been independent and neutral. that i is the correct thing to do. steve: we had alan dershowitz on an hour ago, he said maybe have an independent panel to look into it. i got something from somebody else who used to be at the department of justice, and they said this should be in front of a grand jury. if this is true, this is criminal. >> well, i think it is premature to put it before a grand jury. we do need a serious investigation. it may end up going there. i prefer the ig's office. i think the justice department did the right thing. this will move faster giving it to the ig's office. they can refer the matter to the u.s. attorney's office. they have not been shy about those types of referrals. if you want to get at this quick i would do it this way. create an independent commission. it will be a glacial pace. steve: things are picking up because according to rudy giuliani this could be wrapped up by sep 1st if the
5:20 am
president sits down in july to talk to mueller's team. >> the president will sit down and narrow those questions it is something he can get through. people are just assuming he will burst into flames if he sits down and answers questions. ii that really underestimates hs ability and his team's legal ability. if you want to bring it to a conclusion, alternative you have to have an endgame. moore could go for a subpoena and that would extend it a very long time. steve: we talked about that last week. thank you for joining us live. >> thank you. steve: jonathan turley. 8:20 here in new york city. the leader of isis is not dead. this morning he has a new mission, train kids to become killers. one state is about to make it legal for kid to bring medical marijuana to school. is that a step in the right direction or the wrong direction? a debate next.

event all legalization of marijuana in new york city. brian, take it away. brian: you love this debate. this is a illinois lawmakers allowing students to bring medical marijuana on school. as long as they don't smoke it. school officials agree that it won't disrupt other students. but is that a step in the right or wrong direction? going through chemotherapy or something like that? here to debate. eva pence. she has a daughter who takes described medical marijuana. jeffrey hunt, vice presidents of public policy at colorado christian university. ava, first off, why is this necessary do you think. >> first of all i think we should reframe what is happening here. these aren't children bringing marijuana to school. this is a product that is being brought to school by a responsible adult, and being left in the school health room where it is secured. it's a step in the right direction because this is
5:26 am
medicine and it should be treated as such. and if it is allowing these children equal access to an education, absolutely necessary. brian: so, jeff, you see a downside to this? >> right. well, brian the fda has clearly said that marijuana is detrimental for children to take. it said this for two reasons. one is that the current science shows that children who take marijuana have long-term detrimental effects when it comes to brain development. secondly, much of this marijuana that is being prescribed by doctors is not fda approved. therefore we have no idea what side-effects are to it, we have no idea what the long-term effects are, and we have no idea what happens when you combine marijuana with other medication. according to the legislation we're allowing nurses and teachers and parents to administer this non-approved, non-fda approved drug at public schools which is deeply problematic. we should let the science lead.
5:27 am
we should let nda-approved drugs be admin sistered. brian: ava, do you think the science not leading here? >> time to let the science lead absolutely. first i would like to point to dr. davinsky's study. famed neurologist who does have a ground-break study does show science is leading us in this direction. the second thing i would like to point to is the need to reschedule marijuana to being a schedule two performance-enhancing drug, not a asked eel one drug so we have research we need to allow for more research so that we can head in this direction because i do agree that we need the fd. a approval and we are heading into the direction of fda approval thanks to dr. today work. brian: bothers you a medical doctor with a degree, certified, aboveboard, gets good reviews might say this child is in pain,
5:28 am
needs this medication, it is controlled, it will not go wild throughout the school, if you think this study shows the dr. is acting irresponsible? >> well, what we've got to allow is the fda to be able to do this research which, they need to be able to do, which they haven't been able to do. but let's allow them to do the research but the problem is we've seen in other aspects, either tobacco or opioids where doctors prescribed opioids and they haven't done it aboveboard. we need to allow the fda to make the decisions to determine if it is safe. brian: right. >> but the problem with a lot of this legislation there is no restrictions on the potency of thc. we need not to allow the legislation get ahead of the science. brian: i understand your concern for legalizing marijuana, legalizing medical marijuana in 29 states, but if a doctor that you trust see as child in pain this, is the only alternative, i find it, i find it kind of cruel
5:29 am
to deny that child especially if it's a doctor that has got, knows his other options. we're trusting him to help you with sinus infections and to heal a broken leg but when it comes to pain, maybe from chemotherapy, that is where you draw the line? >> well, there are drugs that have been approved by the fda a that have come from marijuana that deal specifically with chemotherapy, that with some of those things that have been approved. this legislation goes way too far t goes way too far. brian: it's a good debate. >> if i may. brian: sadly we're out of time, ava. you made your point. >> i understand. brian: good debate. no bad guys here but this is debate worth having. straight ahead -- >> thank you so much. brian: thanks, guys. >> hamasorganized violent and deadly riots on israeli border. why did one high school hold a moment of silence for the
