>> fox news alert. noon eastern, as president trump is working the phones this weekend at camp david. he and his team are really laying out their negotiating strategy for the sit-down in singapore. we heard from the president yesterday out on the south lawn. he's calling it the start of a process. nice to be with you at home on this saturday. i'm leland vittert. elizabeth: nice to be with you. i'm elizabeth prann. the president has been touted new low unemployment numbers on friday. let's head over to ellison barber over at the white house. >> the president is tweeting with the numbers and he also tweeted about them yesterday. about an hour before they were

publicly released. he sent out a tweet and he didn't give specific numbers, but he did seem to be enthusiastic, writing, quote, looking forward to seeing the unemployment numbers at 8:30 this morning. the president is traditionally briefed on these numbers before they're publicly released. the numbers are good. the department of labor says 223,000 jobs were added last month and the unemployment rate is down to 3.8%. that's the lowest unemployment rate since 2000, but some say the president's tweet early friday morning crossed a line and violated longstanding federal rules. the former press secretary to president george w. bush and contributor ari fleischer said this certainly was a no-no, the advanced info is sacrosanct and not to be shared. they say the white house did nothing wrong. i looked at the tweet this morning, i don't think he gave anything away. >> the president welcomed a top

north korean official to the white house, kim yong chol. and the president announced the summit is back on. >> we're meeting with the chairman on june 12th and i think it's probably going to be a very successful, ultimately a successful process. we'll see. remember what i say, we will see what we will see. i purposely didn't open the letter. i haven't opened it, i didn't open it in front of the director. i said, would you want me to open it? he says, you can read it later. i may be in for a big surprise, folks. >> kim yong chol is the most senior official to visit the white house in years. and there was a letter from kim jong you know's father, kim j g jong-il. and just prior to leaving to

camp david, the president did read the little from kim jong-un. elizabeth: thank you, ellison. for more on what's happening at the white house all week. let's get to some of the north korean news and i want to get to news this week that's hitting a lot of our constituents in their back pocket in their wallet. and wilbur ross is in china. i want to talk about tariffs and your reaction to the news this week? >> you know, south carolina has got car manufacturers, bmw, volvo, we have boeing. we're dependent on steel and aluminum, i hope the president will phase the tariffs in like he did with samsung. it affects 28,000 jobs, but in the past, he's made the right call at the end of the day, so, hopefully, he will do that. the economy is booming in south

carolina. elizabeth: that's what i was going to ask you. dependent-- elaborate, dependent in what way? like you said, 14% of the job force in south carolina is manufacturing. you look at states nearby, such as tennessee, we're talking about 305,000 jobs are in the manufacturing sector and that's just not in tennessee and south carolina, it's in alabama, it's in north carolina. so, is it affecting jobs? is it affecting-- is it putting people out of work? how is it affecting you? >> as an example. gear boxes is something we import. parts for cars that go into bmw's and volvos and the same thing with boeing. so it affects the cost and you just can't start a factory up overnight and produce something that we're not making. the pricing. these companies have prices out for months. that's why we hope it will be phased in and, you know, we import over $630 million in

aluminum and steel. so it's a big deal for south carolina, as it is for all over the country. elizabeth: you talked about car parts and there are sort of two competing story lines here because we talked about wilbur ross, the commerce secretary being in china. there was an announcement that there may be some lowering tariffs from chinese goods. so do you have expectations out of this weekend? could those items be replaced? how does that work? >> well, it takes time to replace items. and as you know, canada, mexico, the 27th countries in the eu, they're friends of ours. china is a different story. but, you know, our -- we hope that the countries that are friendly with the united states, that they will be given some latitude on the tariffs that affect them. and as an example, canada, we import across the country, over 43% of our aluminum. that's double what russia and china have. so, china's our main culprit. it's not our friendly countries.

that's why we hope there's some latitude and he did that with the samsung tariffs on washing machines. elizabeth: if i were to sort of surmise your reaction, you're supportive, but critical, but you trust his decision? >> i trust his judgment. he wants to balance, he wants fair trade and i think that's what he's trying to do. so we support the president. i hope, with the economy, though, he will give extra thought to countries that are friendly to the united states and particularly to south carolina and other countries because it affects the agriculture department. look what china is doing on soy beans and we don't want to get into a trade war, but i trust his judgment on it and hopefully at the end of the day, he'll make the right call. elizabeth: okay, i do have one more question for you on a different topic, immigration. it's arguably one of the more important issues for south carolina, especially when we talk about the june primary,

your observations, what you want to siee locally in the governors race. >> the goodlatte bill, we have been working on this, bob goodlatte and the mccall bill working on this a year and a half. the bill that we're trying to stop that opens it up to congress, i hope it doesn't happen. we'll vote on it and hopefully the goodlatte bill will pass. it's fair and most of the countries, i mean, most of the states, i think, when they look at it will end up liking what the effect is. elizabeth: we'll see how many signatures we get after the break. thank you for joining us on a saturday. >> my pleasure. elizabeth: there will be more discussions about trump's tariff decision and what it means for the u.s. and global economies.

be sure to watch economic advisor larry kudlow as he talks with chris wallace, check your listing for time and channel at 2 p.m. eastern. leland: we'll wait for that interview. meantime, overseas, defense secretary james mattis laying out u.s. policy in singapore, just about 12 days before the big sit-down summit, saying the u.s. demands, and we are going to quote now, the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. the north koreans continue to use that same word, denuclearization. garrett kenny joins us now. that word can mean so many different things to so many different people. >> and that is one of the issues of the summit that they're trying to work out. they're meeting both in north korea and singapore to touch on the issues ahead of the summit. as far as the actual negotiations are concerned, another item that the north

brought up were 20,000 americans troops stationed in south korea. the north long argued its missile program is essential to defend itself by an invasion of those or other troops. however, today in singapore, defense secretary james mattis said that issue will not be on the agenda for the june 12th summit. >> if we can reduce the threat, if we can restore confidence building measures with something verifiable, then, of course, these kind of issues can come up subsequently. that issue is not on the table here in singapore on the 12th, nor should it be. >> so u.s. troop levels are not off the table altogether and president trump suggested he could be open to it as well when he ordered the pentagon to come up with options for reducing u.s. sources in south korea earlier in may. we've already seen though how china is going to play a big role in these negotiations. you'll remember, kim jong-un

struck a more aggressive tone after the meeting with the u.s. president which led president trump canceling the summit before putting it back on yet. apart of south korea there are a host of other issues affecting the u.s.-china relationship, with the trade negotiations and the buildup on the disputed islands in the south china sea. leland: there's a lot. and secretary mattis talking about china as well. thank you. here with the carnegie endowment, the one that had the bill. denuclearization, the north creeps use it, and the united states uses it. does it mean the same to everybody? >> we don't know what it means to the north koreans. my guess is that it would not mean to the north koreans, what

we would hope, quickly getting rid of their weapons and nuclear infrastructure. leland: the president is calling this the start of a process, he says, the sit-down in singapore for june 12th. does it make sense? should there be a pro process or kim jong-un would say come in, a and-- >> if this is going to work, it's going to work as a result of a long-term process of building confidence and meeting each other's national security requirements. leland: interesting that we hear someone from the left, as you are, and someone who is as hawkish as secretary mattis, both using that term, confidence building. >> well, i think it's a -- both secretary mattis and i are probably probably hawkish on the question whether or not north korea is a threat to international peace and security. i think that both secretary mattis and i are both realistic, how this is likely to play out given what we've seen in other

situations and our understanding of the north korean national security concerns. leland: they've certainly been blunt in their language as has president trump. we had the little rocket man and talk what the u.s. military could do to north korea and words over and over from the white house and podium, maximum pressure and yesterday, after his meeting with the vice-chairman from north korea, this is what the president had to say about that policy. >> i don't even want to use the term maximum pressure anymore because i don't want to use that term because we're getting along, you see the relationship. we're getting along. it's not a question of maximum pressure, saying it the way it is. at some point hopefully good for millions of people, a deal will be worked out. leland: getting ahead of ourselves on that one? >> well, i think the truth is that maximum pressure has always been analytically wrong as a way to understand what's going on in the korean peninsula. kim met his core objectives, he tested a thermal nuclear weapon and he tested icbm potentially

could reach the united states. he's saying publicly for years, that after he was doing those things he would turn to diplomatic and economic concerns. that's exactly what he's done. i think what we're seeing is kim's plans playing out as opposed to quote, unquote, maximum pressure from the united states. leland: you're saying that the north koreans, there's a lot of other folks who would agree with you, this is what summarizes it, is that kim's been pretty honest what their play book is and continuing to do it sort of like the chinese and other places? >> i think that's about right. i think the only surprise here for the kims, how far they've gotten and how fast. president trump driving ahead for this summit, opening the door for kim to rebuild his relationship with beijing, rebuild his relationship with moscow, i think this is all played out faster and better than anticipated. but basically, along the lines that he had intended. leland: so far the north koreans, conceivably have played things pretty well, whether playing the clinton

administration, the bush administration or the obama administration. and last thing, were you an expert in the iran deal of compliance. if the summit results in a deal or multiple summits results in a deal. compliance enforcement in iran is difficult and one of the things the republicans complained about about the iran deal. if it's difficult in iran, it seems almost near impossible in north korea? >> i think you've got to be realistic what we can expect in terms of inspections and compliance. we've got to have very, very high expectations, but at the same time we have to be aware we're not going to know everything going on in north korea. leland: we know almost nothing that's going on in north korea right now. >> i hope the trump administration is realizing at the department of state and iaea. this is something they haven't been great about in every issue. they have haven't found ways to use the civil service, but the engineering on a scientific basis, they need to be involved in the beginning to figure out

what the right asks and how do we guarantee they're followed through. leland: we've heard at least anecdotally, secretary pompeo is trying to reengage some of what we've talked about. we appreciate it, liz. elizabeth: some headlines now, police say two vietnamese nationals were found stabbed to death at a room in circus, circus hotel in las vegas. they were from a tour group in california. their bodies were discovered after they missed a scheduled activity. a disturbance was reported in the hotel around 2 a.m. they believe this is when a crime may have occurred. and seniors at santa fe high school, walking across the stage two weeks after a fellow student opened fire at the texas high school, killing ten people. over 300 seniors received diplomas during a ceremony held on the football field. the school's principal and valedictorian spoke about the event, remember two substitute

teachers and eight students who were killed in that shooting. leland: on the other side of the break, will roseanne come back? just days after roseanne barr sent out a racist tweet and abc canceled their show, executives are reportedly now looking for a way to reboot the popular program. roseanne is out and comedian samantha bee and host joy reed, they still have their jobs. those that apologized are still working. is there a double standard? >> there's always a double standard when it comes to conservatives. and roseanne barr got the death sentence for saying something putrid and repulsive and it doesn't seem to happen on the other side. leland: plus, a month of lava and ash spewing from the biggest

volcano on the hawaii island. jeff. >> and that mandatory evacuation ordered after lava on the big island showing no signs of stopping. how authorities are responding after the break.

after canceling her show abru abruptly after a controversial tweet, they're considering rebooting the sit com without roseanne barr. they're considering focusing on sarah gilbert's character instead of barr. if you've seen the show, that probably means something to you. and they canceled after barr tweeted about former obama staffer valerie jarrett. and in the same week, there is more fallout over tv personalities joy reed and samantha bee. both have issued apologies for controversial comments and received shows of support from their respective networks. the seemingly lack of punishment has irked many americans, including president trump, who showed support for roseanne barr following her show's cancellation. here to weigh in, harrisburg pennsylvania host, rj harris, 580 on the dial as you drive through pennsylvania and for the rest of us on the worldwide web.

>> good to be here. leland: there's a distinction you can make about what each of the women did or said, joy reed with former blog post from ten years and samantha bee who used c-word to describe the president's daughter. whatever it is. there are distinctions, but is there a difference in what they did and a difference how they're treated by their networks? >> no, that really is-- there's a double standard. in fact, america is a minefield of double standards right now. in every walk of life, and in every section of life, you name it, sex, drugs, rock and roll, politics, there's double standards everywhere. you take the n-word, i think that's one of the best examples where it's a horrible word, nobody should use it, but if you're african-american, you can get away with it, and if you're sanctioned by an african-american you may be able to get away with it, but nobody should be using the word.

it's a horrible word, it's a very confusing time for many. leland: and confusing time for someone such as yourself. as you point out if someone person says something, it's okay, if you say it as an older white male as a conservative radio host you're going to be strung up from the light post. >> i know this is sounds kind of hokey, but my mother brought me up to pretty much respect everyone. i have common sense annoy what will fly and won't fly. being here in harrisburg, pennsylvania, i'm very fortunate because i do say and get away with things on the air that if i was doing this nationally, i'd just be, you know, run out of town on a rail. leland: well, joy reed is not being run out of town by her network. this is what msnbc said about her blog post. some things written by joy on other old blog are hateful and

hurtful. joy apologized publicly and privately and grown and evolved since and we know this to be true. is there value in that, rj, for networks not to fire people and to allow, if someone apologizes or restates something, to have a second crack at it? >> well, i do think it depends on what you're hiring them to do, and are they saying it personally? and they're own areas, like facebook and twitter and all that or are they doing it on the job? and if they're doing it on the job, is that what you hired them to do? did you hire them to be controversial? did you hire them, you know, to go down that path? if you did, i think you owe it to them to support them and that's what you hired them to do. >> is there a danger in the thought police world, if you're outrageous, you could somehow be

fired, is that how we go down the slippery slope in the first place? >> without question. i work in an environment where i never have to look over my soldier and wonder whether or not i should say this or should i get down that path. my management supports me a to z. but they also know that i'm responsible and that i'm not going to float the license out the door. and that's important that i have that because that way-- >> you said-- >> i perform my job and i'm at my best. leland: forgive me for one second on this. you said something important, float the license out the door. you're on the airwaves, the fcc says there are some things you can say and some you can't. >> that's correct. leland: on twitter it's the wild west and on cable the wild west as samantha bee proved at least to an extent. is there a time and place where saying one thing is okay and another thing shouldn't be? >> from my perspective, no. look, the way i handle, twitter, facebook and everything i do is,

if i'm going to do it off the air, it's going to be the same as on the air. i'm going to stick to the same rules, but that's the way i run my life. never, nobody's ever had to teach me in classes about sexual harassment or any of that. i was brought up to respect everybody. and i know that sounds hokey, but i wish we could get back to more of that. leland: well, i guess we could say rj harris the same, whether online, on twitter,@rj harris. whether we hear you on the radio i can attest you from meeting you in person, your mother did a good job, r tchj, thank you. >> thank you, and it's always great to be with you. elizabeth: lava continues to flow from the hawaii's big island. at least 87 homes have already been destroyed. it's causing major damage, disrupting communications and on the island. jeff paul joins us with the

latest. hi, jeff. >> the lava slowed down a little bit, but the lava's reach is still growing and in just a 24 hour period, ten additional homes were destroyed and authorities warn that number might only rise. as you take a look at the aerials, you can see the lava burning through this rural and residential neighborhood. fountains at one of the lava fissures is shooting lava up to 120 feet in the air. and emergency officials say it's only a quarter after mile from covering a major intersection where two highways meet. with that happens, it would isolate neighborhoods and anybody wanting to get out. they've issued a mandatory evacuation order. >> if there's an incident where we have through search and rescue and it's too hazardous or foyer rescues or any respondents to go if there. we're not going to require them

to go in there. >> and the action at kilauea there is summit deflation. the state is working to create an additional escape route for others who might be stranded. they're chipping away at old lava for some new roads to get people out if they were needed to get out in an emergency situation. liz. elizabeth: and that's scary stuff. jeff paul, thank you so much. after the break, president trump and kim jong-un's summit is back on in singapore. what could expect from the long-anticipated meeting. and u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum and the biggest trade partners. what it could mean for u.s. industry. >> it is very, very unfortunate that we get into this tit-for-tat position, especially with one of our closest allies. nobody wins in a trade war: (vo) dogs have evolved,

> . elizabeth: after meeting with one of north korea's top officials, the president says the summit with kim jong-un will take place on june 12th. we bring in the author of "the 100 year marathon", i look forward to reading this. thank you for the book, i appreciate it. i want to look forward with you and want to take a quick look back. your reaction to the optics, the big letter. >> president trump has pulled a rabbit out of a hat. and last week, it was doom and gloom and writing the nasty letter, and criticizing him and

now it's reversed in one week. and he seems confident that the summit will take place, and the summit started. and he's begun to locate something that the press isn't focused on, a peace treaty between north korea, south korea and the signers of the armistice were the chinese and us. so, a four-party peace treaty is something that president obama, clinton, george w. bush never achieved, he's already made, i would call it miraculous progress to get this far. so, we have this kind of drama where a week ago the mainstream media were attacking him and now they're grudgingly starting to praise him. i think that's a good thing. i think there's more to come when we get to the hard part. elizabeth: that's my next question, you sort of-- more to come, what questions do you want answers to in the next ten days, that comes along expectations on both sides, especially what each person is

bringing to the table. >> yes. we all remember that this started with president trump warning about a nuclear warhead exploding inside the united states. that's the main focus. but the problem is, where these nuclear warheads are is top secret. how many there are is top secret and how to dismantle them is very tricky. the south africans are the only country that dismantled nuclear weapons and brought in inspectors from the u.n. afterwards to verify it had been done and that was only six nuclear weapons. the estimates for north korean nuclear weapons that might land on our heads overhere is what the president was talking about range from a low of ten to over a hundred. knowing where they are and chairman kim has to tell us, that's pretty hard. elizabeth: the definition of

denuclearization and how is it done, if it's going to be done. they may have very different expectations. but one question i did have and it's a point you talked about, a lot of critics and saying the president is moving too quickly ab it's done on a whim. you can argue that he's been thinking about this long before he was president? >> a very uncanny coincidence, president wrote a book in the year 2000, 18 years ago, if meetings began with the north koreans and i'm president, i might have to walk out and hit a single military target and then restart the talks. that's 18 years ago. elizabeth: was he assuming they would be a nuclear power? >> yes, he was. he's already ahead of his time at that point, that didn't reveal the full program until 2002. what i think is going on, president trump assembled a really good team, specioused people who have been around the block before on north korea. john bolton is a good example and quite a few others. and the criticism that he

somehow is doing this on a whim, that's just false. and people are going to realize probably after the june 12th summit, that we're dealing -- that president trump is a master negotiator who thought this true, and has exceeded the last three presidents in terms of what he's been able to do. elizabeth: could you have ever predicted this? and my final question is how do this story end? i mean, i know it's a shot in the dark to seen ask you, but i'm curious. >> well, it's not known, and president trump has already begun to layout. if there isn't progress at the first, what he's now calling the first summit, there will be others. so i think he and his team are anticipating problems with verification, you know, when will the first weapon be identified and then cut up. will the north koreans do it? do they want u.n. inspectors to come in, americans to come in. elizabeth: and what is it,

economics, global-- >> in a way he's into a trap, he is he would be exposed as the biggest layer and if not the sanctions to be put back on and even stronger. that's part of the threat here. i think we're in the hands of a skilled negotiator on both sides. i have to give the north koreans credit, they're not stupid. elizabeth: okay. >> if they want to build their country into an impressive economic power they are going to have to go along with president trump. elizabeth: thank you very much. we will have you back, because we're curious how this is going to work out. thank you, sir, appreciate it. >> thanks. elizabeth: president trump's new tariffs on canada, europe and mexico are sparking talks of a trade war and all are vowing to retaliate against tariffs with tariffs against the u.s. and has lawmakers on both sides much the aisle concerned. kitty. >> there has been an angry response in europe about the

proposed tiger stadium, and some liam fox is questioning legality and asking the u.s. to reconsider. and the finances in canada and six other countries would all be affected and ministers have been voicing their objections to u.s. secretary treasury mnuchin and they've been isolated at that meeting. the u.s. said it would go ahead with tariffs of 25% on steel imports and 10% on aluminum. elizabeth: eu says they're concerned it can be damaging to europe's industry and warned it may retaliate with tariffs of its own on u.s. steel and food goods. and on friday there were strong words from the eu trade commissioner. >> this is pure protectionism. europeans export to the united states cannot be seen as a threat to their internal

security. it ish china. he did not comment further on the european reaction to the proposed tariffs, but that could complicate negotiations with beijing. we have next week coming up, a g-7 summit in canada and the leaders attending that meeting will be hoping that this issue could be resolved by then. elizabeth. elizabeth: kitty logan with the latest. thank you so much. coming up this week, primary voters in several states head to the polls. and talking to a candidate for government in california joins us next. stay tuned.

wants single payer health care in your state. the problem is fundamental. if what you say is true in that you are what the people of california want, why is it when i talk to republican donors, including big top republican donor in california, he says he feels like this is sort of an exercise in futility and it's more about trying to preserve republican legacy and preserving spots for republicans and republicans turnouts farther down ballot? >> this is the media influence here. that's the only thing i can say to it, leland. it's fake news, they think that democrats are invincible. they're not. i'm here tole it you that the middle class in the state is almost nonexistent. working people can't afford a house. the gas tax is the biggest thing, leland. this gas tax has resulted in people being pushed into the poverty ranks. gas it now over $4 a gallon. and people, you know, have had to move farther and farther away from their job because of the cost of housing and then get hit

with this gas tax, instead of reforming cal trans, which is full of waste and corruption. i really believe, leland, the voters of the state. i don't care if they're moderate democrats or independents, they want change. they are sick of the corruption in sacramento. they really want to have an affordable life. they doesn't want to work two jobs. i mean, you know, unemployment's pretty low here, but people are working two and sometimes three jobs in order to make a living. leland: that brings up an important point. we saw the job numbers come out yesterday and we saw president trump tout them. these are record low unemployment numbers. >> yes. leland: as you point out, so many people are struggling to get by. how do republicans answer that and put that together? >> lower the cost of living. i built apartments for a living and built them for $80,000 a unit in indiana. it's 500,000, and 700,000 here, and why? government. it's not the sunshine tax. it's not the cost of land.

it's government regulation, it's litigation, it's approvals and delays. that's what ends up in the price of a house. and that's the largest single cost to any family and it's driving people into poverty. they can't save money or provide for their families. that's going to change. leland: well, mr. cox, much like a businessman, up against a hard line or a-- deadline or a hard budget. we'll have you on. >> thank you, leland. elizabeth: and firefighters are battling strong winds and dry conditions as fires rage in the southwest. (phone ping)

gentlemen, i have just received word! the louisiana purchase, is complete! instant purchase notifications from capital one . technology this helpful... could make history. what's in your wallet?

i support the affordable care act, and voted against all trump's attempts to repeal it. but we need to do more.

i believe in universal health care. in a public health option to compete with private insurance companies. and expanding medicare to everyone over 55. and i believe medicare must be empowered to negotiate the price of drugs. california values senator dianne feinstein >> wildfire season upon us and the fire is continuing to grow in northern new mexico with new evacuation orders. strong winds are fueling the ute park fire, spreading it across new mexico. the flames have already charred more than 16,000 acres and currently threaten hundreds of homes. they have shut down highway 64 in both directions, as you can see, because of the smoke there as firefighters now working to try to get the situation under control. elizabeth: scary situation.

meteorologist adam klotz in the extreme weather center with are more on the dry conditions out west. >> a good news-bad news, elevated fire warnings in place have now expired because the winds have died down a little bit, but as far as moisture, any sort of rain across this region to kind of help out the firefighters, this isn't going to happen. so those fires are going to continue to blaze. and it's incredibly dry out there. it's been hot recently, that continues as well. we are seeing the temperatures climb this morning now up to 90 in phoenix, just seeing those numbers climb and climb and climb, 95 in el paso. warmer on the eastern side of the country and anytime warm air and cold air bump together, there are folks in the middle of the country pay attention. a chance of severe weather where that warm air and cold air hit in the mississippi valley, spots you could see severe thunderstorms late into the evening and could run into the overnight hour. possibilities of winds up to 60

miles per hour. otherwise, we're paying attention to maybe some rain running up the east coast and some spots very soggy the last couple of days. guys from one side of the ocean to the other, there are a couple of chances for severe weather out there, leland. elizabeth: i'll take it, adam. thank you so much. a lot going on. leland: it's easy to confuse us. elizabeth: i can get you. i feel like-- >> adam has been working hard. elizabeth: and sometimes i call you liz. it's very confusing. leland: we'll explain that later. elizabeth: maybe the next hour. finally moving out, the 30-year-old millennial who made national headlines has left his parents' house. it's a fox news alert. but not before police got involv. we'll tell you why and i actually think i'm going to give you a preview, it involves legos. and president trump is touting the new jobs numbers. how unemployment is playing into the president's domestic agenda. stay with us. >> it's really the strongest

labor market that we've seen in many, many years. we have to go back before 1970 to see the same period of unemployment this low and wage growth is picking up. so i think there are a lot of people in the media that don't want to cover the good news of donald trump's economy. alright, i brought in new max protein

...to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't. i'll take that. [cheers] 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. new ensure max protein. in two great flavors. new ensure max protein. and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams

as it affects how well brilinta works. .. d forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. d forming a clot. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

>> this is a fox news alert. the us is not paying for any

accommodation costs in singapore. donald trump and his team working on a negotiating strategy in singapore. it is a very busy saturday. >> news about north korea breaking, reports the north koreans cannot pay for their own hotel rooms as they head to singapore. the pres. at camp david working the phones and working his twitter account criticizing john brennan among others, allison barber live at the white house. >> reporter: big focus for the white house is the summit in north korea. it is not won and done. it will be a process. and everything they are focusing on, the new job numbers, the pres. tweeted about the numbers this morning and yesterday, he did not give specifics but an hour before

those numbers were publicly released, foreshadowed good news by tweeting looking forward to seeing unemployment numbers at 8:30 this morning, numbers are good, deferment of labor says 223,000 jobs were added last month in the unemployment rate is down 3.8%, the lowest unemployment rate since 2000 but some say that we crossed a line and violated long-standing federal rules. >> it could not be taken more seriously in washington. the pres. is in a position, and if it -- the president gets those numbers last night. you do not want to impact markets. >> i don't think he gave anything away. >> reporter: donald trump welcomed the north korean official to the white house, who hand-delivered a letter from kim jong un and eight days

after canceling the june 12th summit donald trump announced back on. >> meeting with the chairman on june 12th, this is very successful process. remember what i say, purposely didn't open the letter. haven't opened it. would you want me to open it? you can read it later. i may be in for a big surprise. >> reporter: a senior white house official told foxnews donald trump did open and read the letter and he read it just prior to leaving for camp david. leland: we now bring in michigan congressman dan kill need for his thoughts. we will get to north korea in a minute, you want to talk about how the white house is spinning

the jobs numbers and get your reaction. >> whenever there is economic news that is good news the white house wants to get in front of it. that was certainly the case in the last administration and when we have continued job growth we see it as a good thing. leland: there is almost pain in your voice saying job growth is a good thing. >> not at all. the people you work for are getting jobs. it is an uneven growth, it was during the obama administration and continues as uneven growth in the trump administration so i focus on those areas left behind, good economic news is good news and we want to give every american a chance to participate and that is why i focus. leland: the state you are from and represent has some diverse

constituencies, you talk to congressman from south carolina, even republicans were extraordinarily concerned about the tariffs that could affect foreign automakers, a plant in south carolina and others. >> absolutely. and don't want to lose that growth, when the pres. is right, taking on china for the production of cheap steel he ought not penalize our largest trading partner with whom we have great relationships like canada, and a real impact on immigration and the auto sector. the pres. could be more careful in how he approaches this. leland: is the argument to be made that if you are tough on even your friends especially the europeans in their trading practices, trying to get parity for us auto imports into europe, that china will take

you more seriously when you stop something steel etc.? >> in the abstract perhaps but our friends are our friends. our canadian friends we have a good trading relationship with them. i don't think you surprise your friends by slapping a terrorist at them when they are willing to take significant risks aligning with the united states in our moments of greatest need. when we put troops in the battle they have always in their. i think it was a mistake, he ought to align with our friends, not surprise them with tariffs. >> we certainly know michigan is an important trading partner across the river. and these unemployment numbers mean more jobs for your constituents, the people you work for. is this going to make it more difficult for democrats to try to attack the pres. and the

republican party on economics? >> there are plenty of differences between democrats and republicans on core economic issues. >> if you have historically low unemployment and economic growth is good, why are people going to want to change horses in the middle of a race? >> i represent, people feel left behind, even in p or gos -- >> we have record low unemployment, you're saying people are left behind. >> a lot of older industrial core doors, to the new economy. and state policies in the area, the flyover states. they focus more attention on rebuilding the economies in those places so you can

appreciate the economic growth. >> doesn't want these tariffs do in terms of bringing manufacturing back, that is happening in pennsylvania and ohio. >> quite the opposite. these tariffs could put a chill on american manufacturing, the greatest trading partners with the dependency of supply chain, and responsive tariffs, we could be in real trouble. leland: appreciate you coming on. it is good to see you. i hear the weather is good up north when you see her grandchildren. enjoy it. nothing like michigan in the summer. good to see you. elizabeth: the president says the summit is back on. what will happen between the two leaders? garrett tenney has more on this very anticipated meeting. >> reporter: on-again, off-again. a lot needs to be done before

the summit. meetings at singapore and north korea to work out a lot of these details. and tamping down expectations, and to be the start of a much longer negotiation process. and to denuclearize. and this morning. >> we hold the line with our allies. our objective remains the irreversible nuclear reservation of the korean peninsula. >> the us would remove its troops but today. and left the door to something

happening down the road. as negotiations continue, they are walking a diplomatic tight rope, needing beijing's help in negotiating with the north to countries in the middle of tense trade negotiations in the us is threatening to take action against china for military buildup in the south china sea but there are moving parts in these negotiations we will be following in the weeks and months and longer ahead. >> the beginning of a long road ahead. coming up, a closer look at how the us prepares for the summit with a former white house chief of staff under president clinton. donald trump touting low unemployment numbers this weekend as a domestic victory indicating job growth making a steady rise, unemployment at an 18 year low. it is discuss, rob blakeman,

former deputy assistant to george w. bush and cocreator of the 1600 group and josh swearing, communications director at priorities usa, thank you for joining me, appreciate it. i want to start with a soundbite in the form of a full-screen but heard from nancy pelosi she writes in front may's job report, strong employment numbers mean little for the families hit under republicans watch. a strong statement, agree or disagree. i know how brad feels about this. >> i do agree and donald trump agrees with that. one of the keys to victory in 2015 was he could tap into this undercurrent in america which is while the economy has been strong for years people are left behind. the last 16 months of donald -- of pres. obama's term, he had 215 jobs a month, donald trump had an average job growth in his first 60 months of 185,000

a month, still good, not as good. the truth is that is only 15% of americans right now say there income is increasing faster than cost-of-living and that is a real problem. if you ignore the fact that healthcare is rising for a lot of americans gas prices rising, cost of living getting more expensive and if you only focus on these macroeconomic indicators you miss what is happening in the country with people and that is a huge political oversight for trump that he did understand previously but now that he is president he thinks job numbers are real and before they were fake, he ignores that at his own peril. elizabeth: some people being left behind, we see the administration with headlines, during -- bring jobs back and working in the united states. do you agree? >>. josh is the boy who cried will.

the economy is as good as it has ever been in modern history. we have low interest rates, low inflation, full employment, under 4%, full employment as diverse as we are. it is good and it is working for the vast majority of people and the tax cuts, the middle class. >> i was going to weave in the tax cuts. we saw a writer from the new york times applauding the job number on friday. nancy pelosi -- looking at the midterms and 23 in the house, at least two in the senate but my question to you moving to the next topic is how will this impact the midterms? what unknowns between now and november will impact the midterms? >> it will be about the economy, always has been in midterm elections, democrats history is on their side but

performance and record and rat is on our side, they are defending more races than we are, when people go to the voting booth they will think about not only the national condition but their personal condition and they will say i am better off under a republican and it is a fact the majority of americans believe our best days are ahead of us and feel good about the future. elizabeth: brad brings up a good point, republicans are at a disadvantage, history will tell us that. the anti-trump campaign, is that going to be working between now and november when we are seeing positive growth? >> democrats are not running unjust and anti-trump message. elizabeth: some of them are. >> they are talking about healthcare, taxes, they are talking about their differences with the president but mostly talking about what they are going to do to help people lives. this goes back to the point i made earlier. this is about how people are dealing with their own personal economic well-being so if your

income isn't going up as fast as your cost-of-living you are not happy with the current administration italy 15% of americans do think that. >> best majority of americans believe right track wrong track that we are on the right track. that did not occur under the obama administration. for the first time in a long time people are optimistic about the future. you might not like the way donald trump does things that you can't argue with his record. he get stuff done. >> his record is giving tax cuts to drug companies that are raising prices on middle americans and wall street -- >> wall street is a 40%. >> it is not good for main street. elizabeth: i want to look forward, we are seeing the global reaction to the move on tariffs this week that i'm curious any predictions you have between now and november especially when we see the wilbur ross commerce sec. there

could be more when it comes to global trading that could affect people who go before him. >> we have a president for the first time in a long time that will not only, a friend but call out a photo. we can't expect to have progress with our enemies if we let our friends take advantage of us. take canada enemies do but this president is sticking up for america and putting america first. how can you argue with that. >> i think that is ridiculous. when trump ran for president he ran against china, labeling them currency manipulator that slapped the strongest tariffs on them he ever had. and putting tariffs on our allies instead of people achieving. if he were trying to do what is best for america and not to show off and get a quick

impulsive win or maybe not, he will be thinking differently, talking to our allies and working with them and not against them. 's policies will hurt americans in the long run and honestly the person who is happiest in the world about the us being split from its allies is vladimir putin. elizabeth: i will leave it on that. we will have you back and see how voters feel in november and we will see what happens in china. thank you so much, appreciate it. leland: hannity monday night, talking to sarah sanders and life, liberty and 11, mark 11. coming up after the break we will take a closer look at what goes into planning a summit like the one on june 12th with

kim jong un. we will see that happening and the impact of the white house saying our allies will have to deal with new aluminum tariffs. >> all these countries including the european union cost 5 times -- 5 times what we charge. i believe if you are going to charge 5 times we are going to charge 5 times, free trade, fair trade at a minimum i want fair trade. ♪ how do you like me now ♪ now that i'm on my way ♪ do you still think i'm crazy standing here today ♪ ♪ i couldn't maou love me applebee's 2 for $20, now with steak. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood.

when it comes to strong bones, are you on the right path?

we have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, so with our doctors we chose prolia® to help make our bones stronger. only prolia® helps strengthen bones by stopping cells that damage them with 1 shot every 6 months. do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva®. serious allergic reactions, like low blood pressure; trouble breathing; throat tightness; face, lip or tongue swelling, rash, itching or hives have happened. tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone problems may happen or new or unusual pain in your hip, groin, or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. speak to your doctor before stopping prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium; serious infections, which could need hospitalization; skin problems; and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. if your bones aren't getting stronger isn't it time for a new direction? why wait? ask your doctor about prolia.

leland: and reports north koreans cannot even afford the hotel bill for the singapore summit the state department is saying the united states won't be picking up kim jong un's to know it is unclear who will be. this comes as advance teams in the white house are negotiating everything from the agenda to the tablecloths. a man who knows a lot about these negotiations, former chief of staff to pres. bill clinton, joining us from little rock. there is so much focus on what the president said on the south lawn yesterday in the photo op with the letter and so on.

on the ground in singapore, what is happening? >> joe hagan is deputy chief of staff, he had a similar responsibility in the george w. bush white house so he is a seasoned professional. sans kim, un ambassadors the philippines, very knowledgeable on korean relationships, advising direct to the pres. and secretary of state, that is important. it is the boy scout motto, be prepared. they are negotiating the time and agenda and as you suggested, details about seating arrangements, who is going to be in the meeting and other aspects, a critical time. >> when the president of the united states goes on a foreign trip, deliverables are agreed on, he shows up in saudi arabia and billions of dollars in arms

deals signed, that wasn't negotiated on the ground in the 5 hours since air force one landed. it seems all that is agreed-upon is they are going to sit down and talk. how unusual is that? >> it is an unusual and you make an excellent point. this is uncharted diplomatic waters. >> is there a danger or an opportunity for both? >> both, promise and peril but i commend donald trump for taking the terms he feels are acceptable. a lot needs to go to secretary pompeo who has had two meetings with kim jong un and enormous amount of credit is president moon of south korea who has been very skilled in how he handled meetings with kim jong un and how he has communicated with donald trump and maintain alignment with the united states. leland: he seems able to talk

to both leaders whether it is denuclearization or denuclearization, you have a unique perspective on this, president clinton made the first deal with the north koreans, give of your nuclear program and get sanctions relief. fair to say north koreans look at us on that and got the better end of the deal. what advice do you have to this administration to not repeat the mistakes of the past? >> i would characterize it differently, we avoided a potential crisis that i recall very well when we had the first oval office meeting, the real danger and loss of life possible with the conflict in the region is number one. pres. carter did a very good job defusing the situation. we asked him to go on the pres.'s behalf. but you are right, you make the point this is a pres. reagan

trust and verify moment. leland: that is a good point, there was a potential conflict with the north koreans in the early 90s that was defused but now the potential for conflict is still there and they have a nuclear weapon. it seems how did the north koreans, how did we let them get away with making the deal and getting nuclear weapons? >> that is my point. i don't think there is any doubt donald trump needs to go into this meeting with a clean sheet of paper, but we got to recognize who we are dealing with, the current regime and kim jong un's father kim jong-il who have not kept their word, they have broken their promises and that has been the concern for many years, potential opportunity. we will have to see how it plays out. one important point you touched on is a key one.

the definition of denuclearization. that is going to be an important issue, donald trump did the right thing by taking a step back, lowering expectations and suggesting this will likely be a process beginning with a getting to know you meeting and a process going forward. let's hope the process proves a positive and workable one. heather: back to the other player so critical in this use pointed out which is the south koreans, sometimes has been lost in the coverage of this. you have a unique perspective on the south koreans. i've a willing to be strong enough on the issue of denuclearization versus their desire that you know so well to reunify? >> i believe they will be. president moon as you suggest it has been quite skilled, i had the privilege to lead our

delegation in 1995 to the inaugural in south korea, there was great hope, the mandela of asia at the time having been in exile before returning to south korea and being collected, those did not go forward but even the failures have laid the groundwork here for the sun to step forward and he seems to enjoy you might conclude, stepping on the world stage. let's see how the meeting goes, we are going to find out. >> he smiled a lot when a us official shows up. we appreciate it, thank you. elizabeth: remember the 30-year-old millennial evicted from his parents house? he finally moved out. the police had to get involved. donald trump, why the eu and other nations they retaliate. hi, i'm bob harper,

and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding.

don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. >> the pres. tweeting that he is surprised by reports of new chinese aggression in the south china sea. wilbur ross is in beijing trying to secure more purchases of us goods. the white house hopes china will keep up pressure on north korea. it is a complicated time. our man for these, getting time, richardson live at the state department as they work

through the weekend. >> reporter: secretary wilbur ross according to the white house meeting with chinese officials today and tomorrow to discuss these trade issues. the united states wants to narrow that 3 $75 billion trade deficit the us is with china and provide us firms better access to chinese markets. the administration wants to cut the trade deficit $200 billion by 2020. the white house said it will opponent tariffs on $50 billion of chinese imports into the united states, the us previously suspended the staffs. the administration announced it will administer trade restrictions on chinese us investments. china responded does no a adwar though it is prepared to fight one. the us imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum from canada, mexico and the european union.

beyond economic and trade deficits the us and china are at odds over china's military construction on a disputed area of the south china sea. speaking in singapore james mattis urged china to alter its behavior. >> there are consequences that will continue to come home to roost with china if they do not work more collaboratively with all the nations who have interests. >> the united states invited china to participate but the pentagon rescinded the invitation. leland: now we have a meeting in singapore holding overall this. thank you. liz has more. >> here is donald trump's first nominee for secretary of labor and author of the new book trump's come back. i want to get to rich edson's

reporting, the us wants to narrow that $3 billion trade deficit and wilbur ross, the commerce secretary wants better access. i'm curious as to your expectations out of the secretary's meeting over the weekend. >> both sides are talking. there is a lot of negotiation going on internally, a lot of people taking positions for their constituencies, the chinese or the canadians or the united states but they are talking about significant reductions in trade deficit and nobody wants a trade war, we just want fairer trade. >> we don't want a trade war but we are prepared to fight one. will that take place if additional tariffs are put in place? >> everybody has to take a position in the negotiation. that is not where they intend

to end up. to satisfy the constituencies they are trying to address to people in their own country. when you hear both sides are willing to have a trade war but don't want to have one that is a good sign. they are talking and hopefully -- nobody wants a trade war. the united states just want a fairer trade relationship and we are using tariffs to get that. things seem positive to me at this point. heather: additional questions when we look at the headlines. your reaction to the reaction in other countries when it comes to canada, mexico, eu, they are very critical of the pres.'s move this week. i want to get your reaction. >> canada, mexico and the eu were testing the united states. previous presidents when you get close to an election, all of the sudden they become negotiable because there may be

a political benefit in negotiating. you didn't want to negotiate, like tariffs. we actually cut deals on steel and aluminum with australia, argentina, brazil and south korea. we are willing to negotiate but the europeans, canadians and mexicans were testing this pres.'s metal to see whether or not he would stick by what he said. now we need to make sure they are sitting down and talking with a more realistic view of what the pres. is willing to do and that happened this week. elizabeth: what does the next 3 to 6 months look like, we see the anger and the rhetoric and we know how other countries are reacting so what happens next? >> if you are angela merkel in germany you have to appear to the german people like you are trying to be tough with the united states and if you are donald trump you have to appear to be tough with the eu. what is going on in the behind-the-scenes negotiations?

are they making progress or not? we have been making progress on nafta. the exemption for canada and mexico would have continued. the message, you are not making progress or negotiating in good faith so we will take the exemptions away and you will hear people say outlandish things or accusatory things, but not the show you should pay attention to. you should pay attention to what is behind-the-scenes. important these countries believe donald trump will impose tariffs. some of the media has been helpful to the president because the media believes he will impose tariffs. they need to believe it and if they believe that we can negotiate it. elizabeth: one more question, you talk about what is going on behind-the-scenes and i want to ask about the competing influences in donald trump's

cabinet, and wilbur ross a proponent of these tariffs. i these voices blending well with the president looking forward. how does that play out? >> i would suggest steve mnuchin and larry kudlow in the room with peter navarro and the commerce secretary, there is a likely discussion, the kind of thing donald trump enjoys but everybody in that room knows that the final decision will be made by the president and he likes to hear both sides and that is what he is getting. >> in lively discussion is a nice way to put it, thank you, appreciate it. leland: seniors from santa fe high school receiving their diploma, they remember classmates and teachers killed in the mass shooting a few

weeks ago.

special counsel justice department leaking my lawyers letters to the fake news media, should be looking at dense corruption instead. i want your reaction to this and how this is playing with voters in iowa? >> thanks for having me on, something the president did in the last week, i will get off 20 because i have more boring things to do, he's back on it back to work, that is part of what he is doing to motivate his base. it is important for him to do that, steve king, one of the congressional races and has a number of challenges not just for democratic party but other parties as well. the bigger thing is when you look at the way he has the ability to dismount of 8 democrats on a regular basis, when he talks about the collusion it rings fairly true with a lot of people who were never trump is before, people

who didn't vote for him. i didn't vote for the president but the more he gets attacked by the mainstream media and the more he can talk about this the more it makes me think maybe he has got something to say about this. >> a curious point. how much weight do these antitrust democrats have? you look at steve king and also the governor. a lot of democrats running against her. what are their campaigns looking like? how far is that getting them? >> very clear they are anti-trump and it is a lot of what they talk about, the concept the fish rots from the head down, trying to tie every congressional district, the governor, to donald trump as president of the united states and leader in chief but it is not tracking well in iowa specifically if you look at the governor's race. kim reynolds is running as she

picked up the seat from terry branstad, ambassador to china, she is running against 45 democrats who had the second highest polling democrat drop out because of sexual indiscretion and now the top democrat is getting it from his own people because the amount of money he makes, meanwhile nobody can make heads or tales because every debate they had they have not been able to distinguish one from another so it will likely become reynolds sitting -- >> i was going through the candidates. a lot of them simply had one word responses and they were all sort of the same. i am curious what issues i once are looking at. when you talk about tax reform or tariffs, immediate impacts on voters. are we seeing that in your

state? >> iowa is unusual for a couple reasons was i will get to tariffs and tax reform after i get to the recent decision by a polk county, iowa, judge to put a stay on the fetal heartbeat bill governor kim reynolds signed into law in the last couple weeks. the most stringent pro-life law in the country and this was picked up by planned parenthood, aclu and others and has been taken to court, they said put this aside, you cannot put into effect, that is one thing motivating democrats to get out but also will motivate republicans was iowa is a nag heavy state obviously, number one pork producer, when you talk about tariffs and the effect it has on our ability to draw income not only to farmers but the huge agribusiness,

something huge. elizabeth: we have 30 seconds left, thank you so much, the primary season gets underway, never a dull moment, we are covering it here. that is all we have for the show today but we are back tomorrow at 1:00 pm. >> our friends from new york after this. managing blood sugar is not a marathon. it's a series of smart choices. and when you replace one meal or snack a day with glucerna made with carbsteady to help minimize blood sugar spikes . . en though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin,
