3:00 pm
>> we are out of time. we thank to rob, david, katherine, tyrus and sally. our studio audience. i love you america. >> president trump's attorney throwing down the gauntlet against special counsel mueller says any attempt to subpoena the president will ignite a new battle in court. i'm rick leventhal. this is the fox report. rudy giuliani and president trump slam the leaking of a memo the president's legal team sent to special counsel back in january. that letter strongly pushes back on mueller's request for a sit-down with the president. mr. giuliani saying that he and fellow trump lawyer may advise the president to refuse an interview. >> there's got to be a high bar they have to reach in terms of convincing us that they are fair, convincing us that we're going to get the things we need. jay and i want to keep an open
3:01 pm
mind. i have to be honest, we're leaning towards not. if they can convince us, that it will be brief and to the point, there were five or six points they have to clarify, and with that we can get this long nightmare for the american public over. >> leaning towards not. ellison barber has the latest on this from the white house. >> that's right, rick. giuliani is not totally ruling out a potential sit-down between president trump and special counsel mueller but he says he is at this point in time leaning towards no. he also said when it comes to that legal memo that was sent back in january, the legal arguments inside it he says that they are strong ones. the 20 page letter was leaked to the new york times and fox news. we received a copy of the letter yesterday. in it the president's attorneys argue that an in person interview between mueller and president trump is not necessary because the special counsel has all of the information they need to answer the questions they say they want to ask the president. the attorneys also argue that president trump's actions are
3:02 pm
not obstruction, writing, quote, it remains our position that the president's actions here by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself and he could if he wished terminate the inquiry or even exercise his power to pardon if he so desired. giulni did not write the letter. he was not part of the president's legal team back in january. he says constitutionally the president could end the probe, but he says it would not be a great idea. >> if he terminated an investigation of himself, it could lead to all sorts of -- >> constitutionally -- >> almost impractical. you know, the president of the united states pardoning himself would just be unthinkable and it would lead to probably an immediate impeachment. you know, the house, senate would be under tremendous pressure. president trump has no need to do that. he didn't do anything wrong. >> when it comes to whether or
3:03 pm
not giuliani is going to consider letting his client the president sit down with special counsel mueller, a lot of the yes or no and the back and forth seems to be dependent at this point on whether or not giuliani or oer members of the legal team gets access to documents related an fbi informant who had contact with trump's presidential campaign. giuliani says if he's going to consider letting his client sit down with mr. mueller, he needs to see all of those documents. rick? >> the twists and turns continue. how are democrats responding to this? >> so far we have heard from the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, congressman schiff and he essentially says that the legal arguments coming from the president's team are nonsense. he tweeted this yesterday: quote, the president's legal arguments would render whole sections of the constitution moot and allow a president to engage in any form of criminality and obstruct an investigation into his own wrong doing. nobody is above the law. not this pr not any president. rick?
3:04 pm
>> ellison barber at the white house. ellison, thank you very much. for more on this, let's bring in white orrespondent for the "washington examiner". good to see you >> thanks for having me. >> the new york times says this is a broad interpretation of executive authority and it is a novel approach and likely to be tested if a courtattle ensues, what do you think? >> well, you know, if you look through the pages of ts letter that was sent in january, it is clear that they think president trump has the constitutional authority to end this investigation, and that therefore you know prohibits him from obstructing justice, as ellison just read earlier that, wrote in this giuliani -- or i'm sorry, the president's outside attorneys say that he cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law enforcement officer and therefore would be obstructing himself. that's really what they are arguing here, and it will be interesting to see if they ultimately decline a sit-down interview with mueller's team. whether or not the special counsel moves forward with a
3:05 pm
subpoena for president trump to testify before a grand jury, because if that is the case, we're going to hear even more arguments for executive privilege and that president trump should not be, you know, coerced into testifying as part of this probe. >> the times also called it a wide-ranging interpretation of presidential power. i mean these are uncharted watters. >> we're hearing a great deal of discussion about this letter and what it claims president trump has the power to do and what he doesn't have the power to do. giuliani was on the airwaves earlier this morning and said the president may have the power to pardon himself and that sort of spooked a lot of republicans and democrats obviously who are worried that if this investigation does take a turn in that direction, where president trump finds himself indicted for something that that would be something that he would consider. you know, giuliani says that's off the table, that it is not something the president is talking about or even thinking about at this time but certainly this letter does lend credence to those types of concerns. >> i wonder if those words were ever spoken before, that a
3:06 pm
president might pardon himself. we have heard lawyers say for months that the president was willing to sit down with mueller, but what we're hearing from giuliani and what we've heard in this letter makes it seem pretty clear that he won't be sitting down for an interview with mueller. >> giuliani has vacillated with letting his client president trump sitting down with mueller's team and saying there's no harm in letting him do that and shift completely and saying there is harm. he could be asked questions about details of trump tower meetings or financial records of paul manafort that if he gets the answer wrong or messes something up, he could find himself, you know, facing accusations of perjury or lying to federal investigators, and that's certainly not something that this white house wants to be dealing with. >> and the lawyers have to do their job. they were hired by the president to protect the president and to look out for his best interests and those lawyers obviously have a duty to protect the president and the office, and they have said that mueller already has
3:07 pm
the information that he needs from thousands of pages of documents that these attorneys have already provided and testimony from other witnesses and that the president has no business sitting down or nor should he be called to testify in this case. >> they clearly unconvinced that mueller's team needs president trump's testimony in order to wrap up the investigation. however, if the president does decide that he wants to sit down with the special counsel's team, it's clear that this outside legal team that he's put together does have his back. they will make sure that he is adequately prepared for that interview. giuliani has already said that he's doing, you know, testing him out with question-and-answers this past week, to make sure that in the event he does sit down for the interview, he is prepared. >> the president has said he wants to, but his lawyers probably don't want him to, and if he doesn't, and mueller isn't satisfied, then he could try and issue a grand jury subpoena which would obviously be historic and that's where this next battle might then take off. >> it would be historic.
3:08 pm
it would be a really difficult time for this legal team on the outside to navigate if the president is facing a subpoena. obviously they want to avoid that at all costs. but if mueller decides that his, you know, the president's testimony is indeed needed in order to reach a conclusion, as part of this federal probe, then we could find ourselves in a scenario where that is something that president trump is facing, a congressional subpoena to testify before a grand jury. >> the president waging a war of his own on twitter and said on saturday that this was an expensive witch hunt hoax and he wonders when it will end and i'm sure so do many americans when will it end. we're glad you are here. don't go anywhere. we will talk to you again at the bottom of the hour. >> sounds good. >> thank you. the historic meeting between president trump and kim jong-un is on again but defense secretary mattis is warning of a bumpy road ahead as negotiations for the summit continue. mattis speaking in singapore where the meeting is scheduled to be held june 12th, promising to keep pressure on the north.
3:09 pm
>> we will continue to implement all u.n. security council resolutions on north korea. north korea will receive relief only when it demonstrates verifiable and irreversible steps to denuclearization. >> molly henneberg is joining us from washington with more on this. molly? >> hi, rick. defense secretary mattis has been in singapore this weekend sitting down with his south korean and japanese counterparts to do some strategic planning for the june 12th summit. he urged them to quote remain vigilant and keep the international pressure on the north korean regime. secretary mattis predicted that there may be some complications between now and june 12th. >> we can anticipate at best a bumpy road to the negotiations, as defense ministers, we must maintain a strong collaborative defensive stance so we enable our diplomats to negotiate from
3:10 pm
a calm position of strength in this critical time. >> president trump met with north korean official kim yong-chol at the white house on friday. at that time the nuclear weapons summit had been cancelled. they spoke for over an hour in the oval office, and the north korean emissary presented a letter to president trump from north korean president kim jong-un. after that oval office discussion, president trump announced that the singapore meeting was back on, and there's a shot at some progress, says the trump administration official. >> the president has been bolder on this in korea and by the way on world trade than any other recent president. everybody says we can't do it. we can't do it. the president says hang on a second, we may be able to do it. >> there have been some published reports that north korea wants the u.s. to pay for a fancy hotel room for kim jong-un in singapore. not so, says state department spokeswoman, she tells fox that
3:11 pm
the u.s. is not paying for the north korean delegation and she says, quote, we are not asking others to do so. rick? >> molly henneberg in washington, molly, thank you very much. the israeli military launching airstrikes against 15 hamas militant targets in gaza. in response to renewed rocket fired toward israel. no casualties have been reported. this latest exchange of fire threatening to unravel a cease-fire reached last week after the largest flare up of violence between the two sides since the 2014 war. hamas has also been organized weekly protests along the israel gaza border as well as starting fires in israel by flying burning kites over the border. right now lava from a hawaiian volcano forcing emergency rescues as the molten rock continues to carve a path of destruction on the big island. we will have a live report ahead. plus, a surprise speaker raising spiritings at a

3:16 pm
the 18-year-old boys have been missing since friday after one fell from a dam near athens and the other went in to try and rescue him. the creek was swollen from recent heavy rains in the area and the dangerous conditions we're told have been hampering those rescue efforts. it was an emotional day in florida as the senior class of marjory stoneman douglas high school received their diplomas. the graduation marking nearly four months since a gunman opened fire inside the school killing 17 people. four of those kids would have been celebrating today alongside their classmates. phil keating is in sunrise florida with more on the ceremony. i just found out that the surprise speaker was late night comedian jim my fallon. -- jimmy fallon, that must have been pretty cool for the kids. >> absolutely, rick. what a popular choice he was. he said from the stage inside the arena that he had met a number of the stoneman douglas students a couple of months ago
3:17 pm
at their washington, d.c. gun control rally, but nobody knew he would actually be their commencement speaker until he walked out there on the stage. the students and parents giving him a big standing ovation and fallon gave some traditional graduation advice, threaded with a bunch of jokes that had the seniors laughing. afterwards, fallon tweeted out this, quote, congratulations marjory stoneman douglas class of 2018, you are not just the future, you're the present. keep changing the world. keep making us proud. the ceremony a blend of emotions and moods. jubilant, celebratory, and of course sad and heart breaking at times. it was just more than 100 days ago that their senior year was horrifically marred by a student who unloaded 150 bullets in six minutes and killing 14 students and 3 staff.
3:18 pm
the four that were supposed to graduate today, their names were called out today along with the 800 graduates >> the school district did invite the parents of those four seniors who should have been there today; right, phil? >> the district did invite all of the families for those four students, but for at least two of the families the parents said they couldn't bear the pain and loss of being there and not having their son or daughter there. the brother of meadow pollack accepted his sister's diploma for her tweeting: >> the parents who walked across the stage for their children, i lost it. very sad. i can only imagine what they -- very heavy heart. >> there was extra security on
3:19 pm
hand today to try to make a comfortable and safety conscious scene here at their graduation, and for these high school seniors, 784 of them getting their diploma today, this ends their high school experience, unfortunately it was an experience marred and stained by the deadliest u.s. high school shooting. rick? rick: no doubt, phil, thank you. as the nationwide opioid crisis rages on, how underground pill mills made the problem worse. a former police officer shares his story of survival from the throes of addiction. and lava continuing to flow in hawaii causing new problems for folks on the big island. >> it's kind of an adventure, here going through hurricanes and lava flows, it makes you appreciate how precious everything you have is; right? people get real complacent otherwise. your brain changes as you get older.

rick: lava from the kilauea volcano blocking off roads on hawaii's big island, forcing rescue crews to air lift three people to safety. they were among about 12 residents who didn't evacuate before lava blocked off a major intersection. thankfully no one is hurt, but the ongoing volcanic activity is starting to worry neighbors. >> oh boy that's the hardest part. it's been going on and on and for what we've been told, it's -- this is the longest that it's -- or the most that it's been flowing, so that's scary, and it's just two streets away from us. rick: starting to worry neighbors might be an understatement, i would imagine. jeff paul live on the big island with details. jeff?
3:24 pm
>> hey, rick. the national guard flying around the big island looking for potential landing zones. guard members are preparing to launch into mass evacuations as more and more people become stranded from the lava. now, the streams have flowed down a bit over the last few days, but the path of destruction from this volcano is only increasing. it is further stretching into neighborhoods like leilani estates leaving anyone who stayed behind without power, water, and likely phone service. the volcano has also destroyed at least 87 homes. that number only expected to get bigger once evacuees start returning home to see whether or not their property was spared. >> we will survive. there's a lot of people that are worse off than us. a lot of -- a ton of people that are worse off than us. thank god that we've got a place to live. >> now, geologists say ash emissions from the summit of the kilauea volcano have started to slow down over the past few days but what remains constant are the earthquakes and they're
3:25 pm
expecting more explosions, and down here in the lower rift zone, below the summit, geologists say about 3500 acres so far covered in lava, that's the roughly the same area of four times of new york's central park. also we should mention seven people so far cited for loitering in these lava zones. rick? rick: jeff paul in hawaii, jeff, thank you very much. there is an underreported crisis in america. the nation's life expectancy has fallen two years in a row, a decline not seen in 100 years. researchers point to deaths of despair, lives lost from drug overdoses, alcoholism and suicide sparked in part by faltering economic security and the down slide of traditional support systems. it is a grim picture and statistics alone can't tell the story. we investigated the reality, outside the d.c. beltway on the island of manhattan, speaking with people caught in the clutches of despair, a word that means the complete absence of
3:26 pm
hope. over these next four weeks in june, on fox report sunday, i will introduce you to fellow americans who know despair and refuse to give up. >> they write youhe prescription. you pay the $100 cash. and you leave. >> allen is 57 years old. he spent more than 25 years as a houston police officer, nearly 10 of those addicted to opiates. he said a trip to the dentist's office set the stage for his addiction. >> i had some pretty extensive dental work done to my teeth and the doctor prescribed me vicodin for the pain. i've been looking for a cure for a hangover my whole life an took two of those little vicodin and within 10 minutes my hangover was over and i was like oh my god i discovered something >> he lied to his dentist to get refills. >> i actually had two root canals for no reason. there was nothing wrong with my teeth but i would fake toothaches to keep him going. some of the guys at work noticed i was slurring my words and i told them i was taking pain medication for my dental work.
3:27 pm
>> his addiction took a more destructive turn. >> and i run into a cousin of mine who introduced me to a powerful -- more powerful pain pill called lorcet. i will never forget what he told me when i left his house tha ght, he said hey alan, welcome to the dark side. >> before long he went back to his cousin. >> i'm asking my cousin where do you get these things? >> and he said well you've got to go to these pill mill doctors. >> pill mills are places where licensed physicians sell prescription drugs under the table for profit. >> it's what he call them here in houston, pill mills, as a matter of fact they were so prevalent that after a combination of three drugs, it was dubbed the houston cocktail. >> medical director at a recovery center in houston texas alan was one of his patients. he says while prescription pill abuse persists heroin use is on the rise due to its relative affordability. >> it got easier to acquire here
3:28 pm
in texas and then the problem became then the heroin started getting tainted with a drug called fentanyl. not only have we seen an up tick in her rin use and a market -- heroin use and a market up tick in deaths due to the tainted heroin. >> some have been harder hit than others >> it seems without question we are seeing far more white males than any other part of the sector of the population that are using. >> 115 people a day a dying of opioid overdoses. that's more people than are killed in car wrecks. >> countering the pill mill crisis is harris county texas attorney vince ryan who has filed suit against drug companies, pharmacists, and doctors. >> they prescribe hundreds if not thous of opioid prescriptions, most of the time without even seeing the proposed patients. >> attorney ryan hopes to help people recover and regain their lives, much like alan who now sober for 5 1/2 years sought and
3:29 pm
found redemption. >> the brotherhood of police department because there was drugs involved and i've been to jail and all that. >> alan says his addiction isolated him from his leagues until a fellow police officer passed away. >> so two years sober, i got invited to a funeral of a friend of mine that i worked with for a long time, and after the funeral was over, i was outside, and i heard the honor guard yell out an order, all officers attention. i got to stand with those guys, shoulder to shoulder, thank god that i got pulled out of the depths of this deal, and if i can do it, anybody can do it. anybody. i promise you. the end.

3:35 pm
actually drive up prices and cohe u.s. jobs. but the white house pushing back. trade director pointing to our booming economy to ease concerns of a pottial trade war. >> we have a disproportionate amount of new jobs being created in manufacturing. we have investment off the charts. this economy is so strong that nobody should be worried about any of the spin that anybody is saying. rick: garrett tenney has more on this from washington. >> the international backlash continues today after the u.s. announced new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from some of our closest allies, eu, mexico and canada are now threatening to enact reciprocal tariffs in retaliation. on nbc's meet the press canadian prime minister trudeau argued the tariffs will hurt jobs in both countries and says he's insulted the president will take this action under the guise of international mall security. >> the idea that the canadian
3:36 pm
steel that's in military vehicles in the united states, canadian aluminium that makes your fighter jets is somehow now a threat? the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable. >> canada along with eu and mexico are going to the world trade organization to challenge the u.s.'s use of the national security exception to enact the tariffs. the white house is defending its actions and argues it was completely within its right to do this. the national security issue is not about canada or china or turkey or any other country that sends us aluminium or steel. the national security issue is a flood of imports from 20 countries that are putting our aluminium steel businesses out of business, and so the national security issue is basically us looking outward defending ourselves against that flood of imports so that these industries
3:37 pm
can thrive. >> on fox news sunday white house chief economic advisor larry kudlow conceded it is possible these new tariffs could actually hurt the u.s. economy. the white house argues though, if there are any negative impacts, they would only be temporary and in the long run better trade deals will be an even bigger boost to the u.s. economy. rick? rick: garrett tenney reporting from washington. for more on this, let's bring back white house correspondent for the "washington examiner". glad you stuck around, gabby. >> thanks for having me back. rick: we're hearing they are pushing back on this. what now? >> it is going to be an uncomfortable g-7 meeting next week. president trump will be meeting with the heads of the european partners complaining about the steel and aluminium tariffs. the white house is meeting a deadline they set for themselves earlier this year. they said these steel and aluminium tariffs would be coming unless negotiations with
3:38 pm
our european allies and canada and mexico led to a place where we felt that the trade imbalances that president trump has often complained about were addressed. and unfortunately, that didn't happen, and so now the white house has decided to move forward with this. obviously much to the frustration of a lot of our allies. rick: you heard the response from trudeau. in essence he said whatever tariffs you impose, we're going to match it and double down and impose bigger tariffs on u.s. goods coming into canada. >> and the same thing is coming out of the eu. they are prepping tariffs on a number of u.s. goods. and mexico has obviously said they threaten to do the same thing. there is a bit of concern on what the impact will be on the u.s. economy. as we have heard the u.s. trade advisor to president trump say and also larry kudlow, you know, the chairman of the national economic council say the economy right now is so good that people shouldn't be concerned, that any blowback or impact from these tariffs that are now being retaliatory will be mitigated by
3:39 pm
the positive economy that we're andhis is, you know, a good argument the white house can make especially after last month's jobs report that was a good one for this administration. rick: larry kudlow called this a trade dispute, and he said it can be resolved, if people work together. and the last time i checked, the president is the one who wrote the deal. i wonder how much of this is posturing and how much of this is going to try to force some kind of compromise that they hadn't been able to reach before now. >> i think they are obviously playing hard here. they want to bring mexico and canada back to the table. there are still ongoing negotiations over north africa ta that are certainly placed -- nafta that are certainly placed in jeopardy with the direction this is headed. there are still room behind the scenes we're seeing. there's talks happening with our european allies, with canada, mexico, negotiations that are ongoing. and larry kudlow also said this morning that this is not -- these tariffs may not be permanent. they might just be here to stay for a few months or maybe even a
3:40 pm
few weeks. he accused the canadian prime minister of overreacting because of that. rick: right. we also heard from the eu trade commissioner who said we cannot just take these tariffs and stay silent, and another eu official said this is no way to treat your friend. but the president said they are our allies but they take advantage of us economically. so fair is fair? >> well, that's been the message from this administration all along. that this is an america first administration. that we need to be looking out for our manufacturers, for our workers, first and foremost, and if that means that we're going to have to play hard ball and we're going to have to do some things that may not be popular on the international scale and with our allies, that's something this administration and this president have moved forward on, and i think that's what he's committed to doing and like i said earlier, there are still negotiations happening. these are not permanent. there's room for this trade dispute to come to an end potentially. rick: i think hard ball is a
3:41 pm
