ortegas. we really appreciate it. what are your thoughts on this? the obama administration knew about it and didn't do anything about it. >> it shows a pattern of behavior over eight years of the obama administration. pres. obama said he was going to have leverage to vladimir putin after his reelection answer are russia returned to the middle east and far russia invade ukraine and when that happened did nothing about it. it doesn't surprise me after watching eight years of russia taking more aggressive steps, when it came to medley in our election the obama administration did nothing. heather: did they think it was a given that hillary clinton would win so they didn't need to do anything? where they trying to set up the trump campaign and see what happened? >> there publicly stated excuse is they didn't want to look like they were interfering and tipping the scales on the election. it is unconscionable we could

have these actions and the pres.'s response to vladimir putin is you need to knock it off. that clearly didn't scare vladimir putin because they were eight years of a pattern of behavior they knew what they could get away with and the obama administration and the clinton campaign have a lot of who brisco into this election, they thought of the given they were going to win and they could take care of russia later. heather: later being after donald trump won the election, then they took office. why did they do it then? >> there had to be some response and i think it was right that the time they did have a response, should not have let russia get away with what they did but the problem we face in the middle east and eastern europe is russia is emboldened in a way many of us never thought we would see again so donald trump has to deal with a difficult situation, and emboldened russia in the middle

east, that is the reality of the fact underground. heather: all the chaos russia is causing a distraction with the current administration, either way they accomplished what they set out to do. >> we need a united bipartisan front against russia. are we really prepared for this? we are looking at the move of warfare in cyberspace, the proportionality when someone attacks us, the chinese have stolen plenty of information. when it comes to what we are going to see between china, russia and the united states, great power competition, this is what we have to be prepared for. i think cyber is the new terrorism. heather: appreciate you joining us as always. 25 minutes after the top of the hour and it is deadline day for the doj.

heather: deadline day in dc, the doj and fbi have hours left to turn over documents to congress related to the russia investigation and clinton email probe and if they don't comply lawmakers are promising to take action. doug luzader is live in washington with what speaker ryan is saying could happen

next. >> republicans want documents detailing the early stages of the russia probe and they are not getting them. there is some tough talk from paul ryan. >> we expect compliance. i'm getting daily reports from our committee chairs about the progress but i expect them to comply with her legitimate document requests because this is legitimate oversight of the executive branch. >> ryan is not ruling out holding the deputy attorney general in contempt of these documents are not produced. last friday we agreed to provide specific documents by friday or explain why we couldn't. that is underway including many requested documents yesterday and today. at least one democrat is questioning the legitimacy of the subpoena are giving it is not valid because it has been

edited. heather: deadline day but they have been known to miss them before. a manhunt is underway for a man who threatened to put a bullet in the president's head, us marshals showing clear and present danger to law enforcement in pennsylvania. his father called the secret service after he threatened the president on social media and said he would shoot anyone who tried to arrest him. he has a history of threatening government officials including sarah palin. is democrats slammed donald trump's immigration policies a former obama official is admitting his administration played its own part in holding immigrant families in detention centers. >> we expanded family detention which i it was controversial. there were 95 beds out of 34,000 equipped to handle, we expanded that capability. i made a big deal out of it so

people could see what we were doing. heather: he says the expansion was to deal with a spike in families. and retaliatory tariffs on $3 billion worth of us products targeting things like jeans, bourbon, tobacco, orange juice, for food gamut, the trade commissioner saying they were left with no other choice after donald trump imposed a tariff on steel. get your wallet ready, online shopping may get more expensive. the supreme court ruling states can require online retailers to collect sales tax on purchases from states where they don't have shops, offices and warehouses and any changes where they live and how quickly states act, donald trump calling it a big victory for our country.

today we are remembering charles krauthammer, a man of extraordinary accomplishment who drew respect from republicans and democrats, his disinterest career touching the lives of so many. one of them joined me on the phone. thank you for joining us. and -- >> not so happy to be here. >> you worked side-by-side on special report. what were your thoughts when he passed? your first thought? >> we had a while to get used to this because charles had written that lovely letter talking about the end of his life and the way he had no regrets in the kind of life he felt he lived but it is still really awful and my heart goes out to daniel and robbie.

i sat next to charles. usually i am the only female on the panel and i sat in the middle. he was a wonderful guy, a principled conservative, not a partisan hack and had an incredibly sweet and sunny personality, he was really positive and i am thinking this was a huge loss for conservatism and public discourse which is in a pretty bad way right now and he had a beautiful mind. he was a really lucid writer and clear thinker and there was nothing dark or negative about his commentary or his personality and it is really awful. the world is worse off because he is not with us anymore.

>> the letter he wrote on june 8, '13 days later, let's take a look at one of the last statements, i leave this life with no regrets, it was a wonderful life with great love and endeavors that make it worth living which i'm said to leave but i lived the life i intended. and he certainly did. we were listening to the outpouring of love and respect that came regarding him. a big baseball fan and he also enjoyed chess. >> a baseball fan, he enjoyed chess, what few people know about him, he and his wife sponsored and created an incredible series of music to bring little-known jewish composers that was rarely heard to the public and it was a great series and i managed to get to a couple times.

charles was a real gift to the world, i think and i really miss him. >> someone yesterday commented how he didn't want to be known for his disability committed like talking about it, didn't want to be roped into that stereotype but he was really courageous and such an inspiration for others in similar situations or people not even in that situation, to live your life to the fullest, he certainly did that. >> he once told me when he was in the hospital after his accident there were two kinds of people, people who decided to get on with their lives and people who couldn't and clearly he could and he had the kind of personality, positive outlook that allowed him not just to persevere, change the whole plan

for his life. and a speechwriter for democrats slowly evolving into a conservative but a principled conservative, not a partisan hack. he won the pulitzer prize, he coined the word the reagan doctrine. in one column he laid out a way that george w. bush could get out of his nomination of harriet myers for atty. gen. he laid out an escape route for the president which the president took. >> you mentioned the bullet surprise, things that matter, if you don't have that book and haven't read it you certainly should because it is a treasure. thank you for joining us. it is a tough day for you and my

thoughts with you and everyone close to him, robin and his son daniel. charles krauthammer passing away at the age of 68. he is survived by his wife robin and son daniel. we will be right back.

patty: 1 are remembering the beloved and brilliant fox news commentator charles krauthammer who passed away at age 68 after a long battle with cancer. carly shimkus is here with those paying tribute to his wonderful life and a huge outpouring. >> one of the top trending topics on twitter. an incredible life from psychiatrist to speechwriter, columnist to fox news contributor, jack of all trades and master of all of them.

like pens taking to twitter to honor his memory writing charles krauthammer will long be remembered for his eloquence, triumph in hardship and contribution to american political thought. karen and i sent condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time. marco rubio weighing in saying he was a man of extraordinary intellect, truly one of a kind, the conservative movement and the nation will miss his incredible insight especially in times like these. we offer our condolences to his family, may rest in peace and the person who knew him the best in here, in this building, bret baer chimes in saying rest in peace, i am sure you will be owning the panel discussion in heaven as well and make sure your wise words and legacy will live on here.

krauthammer was a big fan of baseball, huge fan of the washington nationals and they honored him with a moment of silence before yesterday's game. >> we talked before the break about his love of baseball and love of chess and the program regarding music and i hadn't heard about that until this morning. >> if the goal is to leave an impact he certainly achieved that goal. >> absolutely and our prayers with his wife and son. the next story, milania trump and the jacket that she wore. >> she visited detention center in texas yesterday but that kind gesture was overshadowed by this coast that she wore when boarding the plane and when she got back from texas, it said i really don't care, do you?

her spokeswoman insists there was no hidden message behind that. today's visit to the children in texas impacted the first lady greatly. of the media would spend their time and energy on her actions and efforts that help kids rather than focusing on her wardrobe we could get so much more accomplished on behalf of children, she cares, it is just a jacket. the president providing more insight into what the code may have meant saying i really don't care, do you, written on the back of milania's jacket refers to the fake news media, she learned how dishonest they are and she truly no longer cares. she is receiving significant criticism for this jacket on social media. others are supporting her like billy who says it is a message to the press but they are too stupid to get it and jane tweets it is just a jacket. it is a jacket but a strange thing for her to wear. heather: i don't care about the

jacket but the work being done. >> that is the shame of this, this was a great move by her and we are talking about the code. heather: still to come 15 minutes until the top of the hour, when immigration bill is dead, the other one is late but buying more time insuring republicans can get the compromise bill through the house, we are debating the key components that may help it through the senate.

heather: house republicans pushing a vote on the compromise immigration bill to next week after failing to pass a more

conservative version confidence being still high on capitol hill. >> water viewpoints but everyone wants to solve this problem and that is most encouraging when you look at the earlier vote today, a wide range of republicans voting yes, we didn't see one democrat voting yes. >> what will it take for the compromise bill to pass? republican strategist jim current and democratic strategists and and once the right. let's take a look for everyone at home, what is in the failed bill, the goodlatte bill? no path to citizenship for dreamers, doesn't allow children to be separated and cuts chain immigration. the compromise bill which is still on the table this bill what are for dreamers merit-based visas and a path to citizenship, does not allow children to be separated by the department of homeland security

and is lenient on chain migration. why the delay? will it benefit republicans to push this to next week? >> i am glad to see donald trump acting swiftly to eliminate separation of families, one of those situations the president has done nothing but cleanup one miss after another from prior administrations on everything from north korea to the horrid economy he inherited from barack obama and bringing jobs back to america and the list goes on and on. the bill last night, i was surprised a goodlatte bill did not get as many votes as i thought it would but the bigger story is the number of democrats who supported it which was 0. it speaks about what far left democrat party is all about today which is obstruction, not a single democrat went up on

this vote. heather: and one, and said that. what do democrats want? will anything be good enough for them prior to the midterm elections? >> we went comprehensive immigration reform in a bipartisan way. what democrats want is what durbin and graham tried to do several months ago, bring up our partisan bill together that would bring both sides together and attempt to do what the american people want. immigration should not be a partisan issue. for donald trump and the republican party this is a redmeat mission went for a fringe on the right said earlier donald trump acted swiftly, donald trump and his administration lied to the american people and ripped babies away from their families as a redmeat people to motivate the base going into the midterms and this is why friends will not

let friends that republicans in november. they have been a disaster, the president has net lead on the issue of immigration of the republican party. >> did you feel the same way when this happened under the obama administration? jay johnson admitted they did expand family centers where they had to hold families? >> thank god for the fact checkers was we not want to the current administration, a fact checked by the washington post and a member of the credible outlets, the level of families being separated was totally increased under this 0-tolerance policy. >> that is not what i asked. i asked if you felt the same way in terms of the numbers, when this happened during the obama administration, why democrats were not up in arms about it then saying the same things they are saying why, why they aren't

willing to bend at all it seems? >> 90,000 is the number that barack obama, the number of families he separated during his administration and democrats going back to the bill clinton presidency had the florez agreement go to the court system and barack obama allowed children to sleep on the floors of cafeterias, the floors of restrooms in border facilities and the list goes on and on. the people who lied to the american people were the democrats on january 11th when donald trump had that live bipartisan cabinet meeting, he said i will sign any bill that comes to my desk. heather: we have to wrap it up. we all agree something needs to

be done and both sides need to work together. >> complains of immigration reform. heather: we will be right back, stay with us.
