week's show, thanks to my panel, thanks to all of you for watching, i'm paul gigot, we hope to see you right here next week. >> we begin with fox news alert, utah man who was jailed in venezuela for 2 years is about to be home free in america again, on his way to washington as we speak. 26-year-old joshua was released from prison today, had been arrested on weapon's charges in 2016 shortly after he got married. hello, everyone, welcome to news headquarters, i'm ed henry. >> i'm laura ingle, president trump to meet with holt at the white house today. ellison barber, big day there. >> yeah, laura, it is, according to president trump we expect holt to arrive around with his family, 7:00 o'clock this evening, he and his wife boarded a plane in venezuela this morning as ed just said, josh

holt went to venezuela two years ago, he went to get married. the woman he was marrying, his wife, two later arrested on weapon's charges and the u.s. said arrest was political. president trump announced the release of holt on twitter writing in part good news of release of american hostage from venezuela. great people of utah will be very happy. senator bob corker met with nicolás maduro this weekend, corker as well as a staffer who they say was instrumental in helping bring this all of this about they are on the plane with the holt family and bringing them back to the u.s. today, laura. >> and president trump left the door wide open on the possible summit with kim jong un, word is -- where does the white house stand on that? >> sent the letter to kim jong un saying they were going to cancel, fox news officials are

planning to send top white house aides over to singapore to work on logistics of the meeting. we are being still told today that the trip is going to happen as planned. in a statement provided to fox news sarah sanders said, quote, the white house preadvanced team for singapore will leave as individualed in order to prepare should the summit take place. the u.s. was once again talking to north korea. some people are hoping that the meeting happen but would rather see it take place town the road rather than in coming weeks. >> this is good news, it means the summit is on track, maybe not for june 12th, in fact, i wish it not happen june 12th, because we need to find ways to have our message by one person. we are still not comfortable with the strategy we have on denuclearization.

>> president trump says if the, a lot of moving parts, ellison barber reports. >> signs of affection. the south remaining optimistic. president trump and north korea's leader will meet in singapore. greg, i can't imagine you have gotten a lot of sleep, it's been a pretty wild 48 hours. >> a lot of events in the past couple of days for sure. important development over the weekend with possible impact on region. as you noted north korean leader kim jong un and south korean president moon jae-in meeting for the second time in just a month, met along the dmz this time on the north korean side, it has been reported that there

was a frank candid exchange of views of how to achieve a successful summit involving president trump and north korean leader kim. that summit basically canceled by the white house on thursday and then revived on friday, saturday's meeting according to experts on the ground over the weekend, clearer signal yet that a possible june 12th singapore session could be back on. this amid reports that advanced teams from both sides are on the way to the city, south korean president moon met with president trump trump on tuesday, there were some talk that he was carrying a message from trump to kim in the meeting also perhaps moon has been important go-between for the united states in this matter, pressed kim a little bit more on the key denuclearization issue. remember, this week, we also saw what the north claims are do -- destruction of the north side of the country. that was seen as good-will gesture but no confirmation,

early sunday morning here, ed, in about 5-hour's time we are told the south korean president will be speaking and we should get details about what was said and how real the june 12th summit might be president trump. >> wow, diplomatic negotiations that are really just beginning, paul, thanks for the report. >> for more on this, we want to bring in daniel hoffman, fox news contributor and former cia chief who served in moscow, iran and pakistan. we have a lot to discuss with ever-resolving matter. with your past experience, what do you think is going on behind the scenes with all of this? >> a world wind of activity, we all know that north korea is a hermit kingdom. one of the most closed countries on the planet earth with failed economy and a lot of chemical,

biological weapons and icbm that can strike our homeland. a toxic mixture. i think north korea was actually just trying to probe us with diplomatic to see whether they could extract some gains in anticipation of the summit. in the past they received sanctions relief from showing up and signing agreement which they would later break. i think they tried us and president trump effectively called their bluff and we emerged stronger in preparation for what most likely it looks like will be a summit whether, you know, in june 12th or some time down the road. >> and when we take a step back, you take a look at the control that china has on north korea, reliant on president xi for supporting economy, president trump has balancing act here trying to handle both leaders at one with xi in trade and kim with nuclear weapons, i also want to show you a quote from

michael in the washington free beacon, we don't have a north korea problem, we have a china problem. north korea is a wild dog, china holds the leash, the change north korea's behavior change chinese behavior first. what do you make of that? >> well, i think we do have a north korean problem and, i mean, we also have a china challenge as well. that really what this region is about. it's hard enough to break the kim regime's grip, to separate him from nuclear weapons if it were just a bilateral challenge for us with us and north korea but we've got china and allies, south korea and japan and russia has been a very nefarious actor in the region, they've built the north korean internet and allowed them and the russians certainly have an interest like china in ensuring that kim jong un's regime security carries on and so i think the chinese are focused on trade concessions

from us and pursuing a very aggressive military posture in the region with militarizing the south china sea, they are trying to get away with all of that because they feel that the price of cooperation with north korea should be free hand in the region and that should be something that we shouldn't stand for. >> when you heard sarah huckabee sanders say today that the white house team is still planned to leave for singapore, what did you make of that? >> i think that's good. more planning we do, the better, i also feel like we are creating muscle memory inside the north korean bureaucracy. the more we engage with them, the more we talk about collaboration and cooperation and denuclearization, the better it is for all of us, the meetings between kim jong un and president moon are absolutely of value for us to understand what makes kim jong un tick, i think we will get good leadership

analysis from our allies, while all of this is going on, there's certainly a great deal concern about north korean proliferation, reactor destroyed in 2007 was provided by north korea, so we really have a lot of work to do, certainly in the intelligence community to stay on top of this -- of north korea to ensure that they are not threatening the region and beyond. >> should this summit be back on the table with so much uncertainty, some say the u.s. shouldn't do this until the nuclear threats are wiped out, others say let's get the ball rolling and let's get to the table here. what do you think? do you think this is something that should happen with cia perspective? >> my personal opinion is that the more interaction we have the better, it's opportunity to collect intelligence, it's an opportunity to move the ball forward a little bit, anyone who expect any sort of immediate gratification whether they are in pyongyang or in washington,

d.c., is probably cool hearted. it's going to take a long time, it's a long haul, complicated diplomatic challenge for us, we should get started, i think that is a positive development for us and i think that we are delivering the right message, not just to kim jong un but the north korean people that we are serious about trying to solve this and that might create other opportunities for us. >> well, certainly keeping the travel department busy, i can tell you, daniel half fan, thank you so much for being here today. >> thank you. >> meanwhile the president of the university of southern california stepping down amid sex abuse scandal surrounding the school's gynecologist doing inappropriate exams. >> ufc was told about conduct since 1991. >> good afternoon, marian. >> after decades of complaints

filed by students and parents, sexual assault by gynecologist, president has stepped down amid mounting pressure and publicity surrounding scandal days after professors and alumni demanded president resign over allegations of misconduct by dr. george kindell, gynecologist who worked at the university for 30 years. 21 former patients have filed lawsuits against ke in, dall accusing the doctor performing exams out gloves and groping women under his care. >> this incident has resulted in my being less trusting of doctors altogether. i trusted usc as institution but usc has let me down. >> university officials also never reported kindeall to

medical board, defending himself in a letter to the la times saying, quote, patients sometimes fabricate stories adding that male and female clinicians who conduct pelvic exams should always have a chaperon present. we have heard the message and something is broken and actions are needed. lapd opened criminal investigation over misconduct. ufc sharing names of more than 300 former patients who were abused. >> president trump not happy with the secretary of homeland security at border.

the president's personal attorney demanding information from the classified briefings on the alleged fbi informant in his client's campaign. >> i think rudy being on the team is extremely helpful. i have the highest regard for rudy giuliani, i think rudy is going to be giving the president very good advice, up down, negotiated some of them whoever came up with the term "small business," never owned a business.

advisers in 2016. joining me now live former justice department prosecutor james, thanks for joining us, james. >> sure, hi, ed. >> we heard the president of the united states is not a target of robert mueller's investigation but is a subject, meaning that they're looking at his conduct, but they don't have enough evidence at least now to try and indict him and there's obviously a whole legal question about whether can be indicted while in office, what do you make of rudy giuliani and how unusual it is to try and seek this kind of classified information as part of the process. >> i don't blame him for trying to get the information. it's kind of man from heaven which mane -- mean can turn into a subject any time of day and having access of origination of the investigation or something that relates to how this thing got rolling with the fbi and doj, it's really interesting,st

unusual, and i don't blame them but there's a little bit of downside, a little bit of risk that rudy has shown a very high level of comfort in terms of conversations with mueller. this is an area that he needs to be careful. >> james, as you know better than anyone, it's not just a legal question, or legal matter, it's a political matter swell and giuliani's critics, he throws things out there, shoots from the hip, sometimes has to clarify or correct what he says, his supporters say, he shifted the entire conversation, he's helped the president and his team get on offense, robert mueller's team perhaps on defense with giuliani pressing them to have some sort of ending to this probe, do you buy that theory that at least he's changed the direction of all of this? >> well, he certainly brings a big personality to the forefront. i mean, it's kind of funny to think of president trump as the quiet guy in the background

while rudy is doing all of the talking. i guess at the end to have day the politics is going to go on forever, right, there's always people saying he is doing god's work and other people that say the opposite. i think the legal aspect of it is intriguing because of such new territory, you don't usually have access or potential access to the type of information he's trying to seek at this point. maybe he should kick back and let congress and ig develop some of the facts, i don't blame them for digging around and seeing what he could find out. >> you mention the ig as in inspector general, this report is coming, it's going to be sensational. there was a first report, preliminary one, if you will, that was quite damaging for andrew mccabe, former number two at the fbi, fbi, justice department under barack obama their handling of hillary clinton e-mail investigation could come as soon as this week and could be damaging not just for mccabe but james comey. take a little bit about people like mccabe and comey who were

going after this president who seem to be on defense themselves? >> surely with mccabe, the story has come and gone in public in terms of how self-serves his actions were and how much appropriate scoring from the inspector general report. i guess what i would just say, when you have people at the top of the law enforcement profession whether it's comey or mccabe, you know, really at the highest reacheses of very professional, very well-respected law enforcement agencies, i don't like seeing them going out on book tours or talking about how they were abused or mistreated or what their motivations were for leaking, i just think there's a whole different field to the higher-level of law enforcement right now with those guys. which is going to be much more

important in the long run then james connie's reputation or mccabe. >> that brings me back to a minute ago with this is political drama as much as legal drama. hasn't this helped in terms of going on offense and the spotlight if you well, being put on not just the investigation of the president but theinvestigation of the investigators ? >> it is not totally unusual to say the cops did something wrong. in this case, there seems to be something really worth digging into when you talk about emails and composition of the team and how they were selected. the original intent and the original motivation of the investigative people are very much under scrutiny. really, is very opaque. we do not know what is in the fisa warrant or if this was a big story when it comes the reliance in a court. >> i have 30 seconds. what is the endgame? it seems like rudy giuliani

trying to limit the scope of questions for a possible with the president. and one week ago he said this is going to be wrapped up by september 1. how realistic is that? >> he may have had first-hand conversations with robert mueller about the deadline. it is unenforceable. if something comes around and changes the clock it will just happen. i still think they're making a big mistake thinking about putting the client in front of this team for an interview of any sort. that will be between rudy giuliani and his client. >> we appreciate your essay today. a fascinating story. we will learn a lot more about this tomorrow. do not forget to tune into "fox news sunday". rudy giuliani will be here talking on the fox news channel at tpm and 7 pm eastern. you can check your local listings for times on your local fox childcare. >> a man who is from a venezuelan prison on his way to the white house.

story. in a few hours you time in free from a venezuelan prison where he was held for nearly 2 years going to washington. he is set to meet with the president of the white house. the president sang the good news about the base of the american hostage from venezuela. should be landing in d.c. this evening and be in the white house with his family about 7 pm. the great people of utah will be happy. >> and a venezuelan national has also been released. the two of them met online and married to shortly after joshua holt was arrested and charged with possession of illegal weapons. witnesses say the evidence was planted. we have more on the status of interesting. what do you have brian? >> 26-year-old, joshua holt, from utah and his wife, tammy are making their way to the united states right now after being in prison for nearly 2 years in venezuela. this is new video showing joshua giving hugs and with his

wife also seen is bob corker, the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee who helped secure their release. this all started back in june 2016. when joshua holt went to venezuela to marry his wife. he met her online. the couple wanted to spend several months in venezuela. so tammy and her two daughters can get visas and move to the us. but on june 30, they were arrested in an apartment complex. the family and witnesses say venezuelan authorities framed them by placing a black bag with guns and a grenade inside of his wife's apartment. they rested them on weapons charges and for spying on behalf of the us. >> obviously, there have been quite a bit of issues with the country. the regime has been horrible to their people and to prisoners there. joshua never really had a fair trial. we have worked really hard with

them. orrin hatch has been great working with us on this. we have been tandem on this. >> yesterday this assured that release. last weekend, senator orrin hatch of utah called nicholas maduro and made the case that it was time to release them. he said they will help you two years without a court appearance. last week a riot broke out in the prison. the centers of the situation had become too dangerous. watch this cell phone video taken by joshua during the prison riot. >> i need, i need help. they have taken the entire prison right on. people are taking the entire prison. there outside trying to break in. they want to kill me. they're saying that. >> he is asking for help. now he is coming home.

corker and the family are scheduled to arrive at 7 pm at the white house. >> branyan s, will bring you the latest and that will be at 7 pm. >> 7 pm eastern. that will be breaking. a surge of illegal crossings along the southern border for the president is not happy as you know. the "washington post" reporting in recent oval office meeting, the question questioned kiersten nelson quite sharply asking why this is happening. and that congress needs to start passing comprehensive immigration. joining me now we have a washington reporter. i nelson on fox and friends about a week or so again after the new york times reported she had been close to resigning. she sort of laughed and said there was really no tension with the president. they were getting along quite fine.

it seems that you are digging a little deeper here. this is very complicated. >> it is, indeed, my "washington post" colleague had some really expensive reporting that shows that not only is there attention but there are at times it has been open hostility and yelling. which i think was a little further. clearly, the president is not happy with performance and is blaming her with things that some of which are beyond her control but some of which might be within her control. she has had a very difficult time explaining her approach to border security and really, her part says the president does not want to listen. >> interesting.some people would say this is more washington, back and forth and the president has a different style. maybe rubs people the wrong way. but you really look at the performance and as you know,

border crossings have been up after them going down under the former secretary john kelly. of course now the white house chief of staff. he has been in the middle of this trying to mediate with the president. it'd be on the back and forth and isn't it about performance? is the president that campaigned on i will seal the border and it is not getting done. >> the last point that i think is the most important. the president sees the issue of border security large and illegal immigration as part of that is really, is that the most important reason, one of the most important reasons that he won the election. he was able to claim a significant victory early on. even before he had taken office, in fact, and months after his election when the illegal border crossings

dropped. and really, the fact that those crossings are up for two months running and the may numbers are about to come in. they are likely to also show that crossings and arrests by us agents are up. that robs him of an important talking point. it robs him of a really important election issue. as we approach the midterms and he is angry about it. >> the other thing that caught my eye is, the border patrol agents came out and basically said, the presidents moved to the military involved and get the national guard to the border is a waste of time and money. i think it is significant because it is not just any critic. as you know brandon judd has spoken on the presidents behalf many times. in fairness, the president has and is not just about what is happening with the white house and secretary nelson. it is about republicans and democrats on capitol hill. frankly they seem paralyzed on

this issue. >> yes, brandon is also concerned and rightly perhaps, that his agents look like show keepers. the point is that the president wants to do something at the border, it needs to be a real show of force and not something that is essentially symbolic. he has been supportive of the president. it is very interesting and potentially significant point ofcriticism from him . i do not think that the issue really is, has a great deal of overlap with the congressional stalemate. i mean, we are no further along on daca, no further along on border funding, then we were six months ago when the idea of national guard deployment to the border really started to

rise. he has a point there, if he chooses to carry it that far which is, how does this, sending ages to the border, either further the presence agenda or nudge congress along? >> i have 30 seconds. last night i interviewed a republican from california. he has a discharge petition. it is close to getting to the floor in the house. they would have to consider four different bills. do you think that might go anywhere that the president has even a glimmer of hope of getting portable funding for the midterms? >> a glimmer of hope? yes. but probably only just abouta glimmer . we've not seen a great deal of presidential, direct presidential pressure on congress either. it suggests that none of those

wants issues that could come under the district are any that the president is super excited to see happen. quests all right. this is an important issue and something that you said, could be at a stalemate. we will see if they get something done before the midterms. anne gearan, thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> is a small symbol of the major sacrifice. every year, the american legion hands out hundreds of thousands of handmade -- our foxes affiliate met one woman that put her hands to use. >> beginning a regular routine. on the train, on the plane, i am the populating. >> she says she has had this nickname for about 30 years.

they said a current one has strategies on fourth mr. trump to focus on fundraising and campaigning constraints key to control the secularist take a look at this. indiana, montana, west virginia, pennsylvania all included. how do you see this playing out? >> is an excellent play for the president. look at his range and the ranges anywhere from a high of 40 points in west virginia to around a low of 20 in missouri where i think you'll probably focus on travel. each one of those are excellent opportunities to look at patrick morrissey, attorney general of west virginia is already up over the incumbent joe manchin iii they look at kevin kramer, -- and then in montana already there very close. donnelly is very vulnerable. i would have to say that you

have -- who was never really up and had a chance to win. thank that josh is coming to his own is a strong candidate in missouri. most likely will take that. i think president goes all of the states is positive. >> what you make of that? >> i think given the presence of provost 42 percent is a narrow one and only to concentrate on the states that he did well in. it is certainly a smart strategy but in the house which christian talk about is a much tougher strategy to employ successfully given that the retirements were there about 40 and that on the west coast and east coast, there are enough seats available to give the democrats control of the house without really penetrating the states and the seats in the midwest. >> right. imagine the poll numbers. i do like to talk about that.

and recently the approval rating 44 percent. 52 percent disapprove the job he is doing. concentrating on the senate areas where he has won. >> i mean, i think is a smart strategy. because the math which has a think, 25 or 26 democrats and non-republicans heavily favors the republicans as chris suggests. it will be hard for the republicans even with the generic boat which is an improvement from republicans over the last few months. it will be hard for them to hold the house or even campaign successfully there. my sense is that it is a good and smart strategy. the democrats play and if the real fight is to win the house. >> was mentioned at the top ivanka trump just upgraded to full top-secret clearance on may 1. she is now reportedly planning to have the campaign trail. for kevin mccarthy. what does all of that so you?

>> i think what ivanka trump does is she doesn't donor she doesn't really energized the activists. what i mean is it donald trump is a major fundraiser who probably have resistance in the street, turning cars over and setting things on fire. things that they tend to do to show that they are angry. she goes and she can bring donors together, she excites them and also insights or excise republican activists. it is a different play. i think like doug says, republicans have challenges on both coasts but actually, looking at a lot of the middle american seats i believe the republicans and right now to do very well to hold the seas that are open. and where many of the retirements are. i think they do have much more solid opportunity to hold house in a couple months ago. >> since i can see both the doug, what you think will get voters after the most?

well energized people to get to the polls? >> on the republican side, donald trump. democratic side, it is donald trump. >> chris? economy, gun control, immigration? >> it really does have to do with the president and epistemic estimates worth donald trump impeachment -- 1025. >> okay. we will leave it there thank you very much, always great to have you on. >> meanwhile island boarding on a constitutional ban on abortion to women in the country call resolution.that is coming up. how do you win at business?
