>> good afternoon, we begin again with fox news alert. massive rallies happening nationwide today. thousands of people expect today gather and protest of the trump 's administration zero policy. protestors pouring into the streets cities from coast to coast on what they are calling the families belong together rallies, calling for reunification of children separated from parents at border. as the trump administration says that process is underway. >> i don't understand why they will support mother who is want a better life for their children. we cannot allow them to keep hurting families, communities and children. i know that together we can make

things better for families and kids. >> garrett tenney live in washington in marchs, if you want to make midterm elections about immigration, bring it on. >> the president said that's a fight he's willing to have. a fight organizers of these marchs want to have as well. there are more than 17 across, in washington, d.c. the largest, marchers to trump international hotel heading towards the capitol. thousands marchers marched in front of the white house to send message to the parents to allow parents with kids. organizers are demanding three things, the reunification of family and into families being detained and elimination of the president's zero tolerance policy. the crowd took that message from

the white house to the justice department and then to the national mall and now here to trump international hotel to change policy and marchs across the country argue the president's executive order ending separation of families is win for their and direct result of outcry in pressure of activists and hope to go maintain pressure in months ahead and use it as issue, immigration issue to get voters out for midterm elections, ed. >> appreciate your reporting there in the middle of that march. >> i believe that it has become a deportation force and i think you should separate criminal justice from the immigration issues and i think you should reimagine ice under agency with a very different mission and take those two missions out and so we believe that we should protect families that need our help and that's not what ice is

doing today and i believe you should get rid of it, start over, reimagine it and build something that actually works. >> interesting comments from democratic senator, one of several democrats calling ice to be abolished altogether. president trump reacting in exclusive interview with fox's own maria bartiromo. take a listen. >> 28-year-old socialist that beat out joe crowe i will says abolish ice and get more democrats are getting in line with that kristin saying to abolish ice. >> i hope they keep thinking about it because they are going get beaten so badly. these are the guys that take ms-13, they take them out because they are much tougher by ms-13 and these are the ones, you get rid of ice, you will have a country that you will be afraid to walk out of your house. i love that issue if they are going to do that. >> more on big-breaking story let's go to republican of california, joining me in

studio, one to have architects behind the gop compromise bill that was defeated in the house. congressman, welcome, we will get to that bill in a moment; how do you react on what the president is saying that they want to make election about abolishing ice, illegal immigration and zero tolerance of trump immigration is too much, he's basically saying it's too much. >> immigration will be a top issue this election cycle. and i think on some issues there's going to be clear difference between republicans and democrats. i mean, you heard the senator talking about abolishing ice, that's just crazy to, you know, first of all, when she's say ago bullish ice, she says open borders. tell the rest of the worldcom on through, mostly our southern border because canada wouldn't allow it but lawlessness of coming across the boarder and wednesday you get here, the laws don't pertain to you, ice should not be working with local law enforcement, that's what sanctuary cities are and that really creates dynamic in

communities like ours where we see the criminals that prey on immigrant community especially immigrant community that's undocumented that's afraid to come out and report. >> in practice this leads to open border if we are already not there but also the philosophy behind it where she says at one point, we need to separate criminal justice from immigration policy. how in the world do you do that in don't we have laws in the country? >> we do have laws and ultimately what we are proposing is on our southern border and all borders you have expedited due process. if you're breaking the law, we want to make sure that we've got law enforcement and the judge there is to expedite due process, have trial go quickly and then if you have permission to come into country with limitations, you have remission. if you do not, you get deported to home country as well but you have policy as most countries

do. >> we have invited on fox to explain it, but tough questions for you and your colleagues as well, let's remember in 2016 election president trump, republicans like you in the house and senate talked about, you know, cracking down on illegal immigration, he's done things on xe -- executive side. you have the majority, so whether chuck schumer is going to block as senator or not, you had an opportunity and i know that you have been trying but how are republicans going to explain to vote nester midterm that you have the power in the house and you couldn't pass the bill? >> it's a tough issue. it's a tough issue when you can't get democrats to join out on policies you once supported. it's tough issue on the republican side, old reagan policy, you get an opportunity to make big strides if you're a country, wouldn't you take that or you have to have 100% and want pure policy that just deals with certain aspects of

immigration reform. ed: if you come with compromise you could have dealt with daca, children of illegal immigrants already here, you could have dealt with funding for the wall that the president wanded so much. without dwelling on the failure, looking forward, how do republicans try to pick up the pieces in the months ahead to try and show voters that you are serious about cracking down illegal immigration. >> yeah, we didn't get across the finish line on this bill. we did give the president support. it was his four pillars, this was an opportunity for republicans to come together. we had a majority of republicans now supporting this fix for dreamers but also had creative way of saying in the past we've had promises from democrats to fund the border without actually having up front money. this would be triggers that would be set forward with advance appropriation for the president to not actually get the wall build or border security done and expedite and do it very quickly.

you can give guaranty to american public, we are going to do this one time. help us out here, work was but we want to guaranty that this is going to get done and get build. ed: let's talk about the rallies that we have been mentioning at the top of the hour and day, i'm sure are smaller than others, we don't want to exaggerate but there's energy on the left, policies at the border, how do you counter act that? >> not at all. yeah, it is a very emotional issue, there's sternl a lot of energy on the left, far progressive and even socialist movement are on the rise on this. what they are talking about is lawlessness, open borders, those are not elections that won districts like mine or most districts across the country. we are nation of laws and we ought to be enforcing laws. ed: we played a clip from

protestor a moment ago getting emotional that we have to stop the president from separating kids from family. first they are not mentioning responsibility of parents and what they do with their kids bringing here, first of all, second, the president did sign executive order to stop that temporarily, policies. the idea that he's still separating kids doesn't seem factually true. >> one thing that people don't realize about the tht is he's going to enforce the laws which the last two presidents didn't on this issue. you know, we have three choices here, either you stop people at the border and you turn them away, you stop being pulled at border and let them go in country and lose track of them or you stop at the border and you actually follow the rule of law, he's following the law in this case. ed: bottom line is when i asked you earlier about what comes next, it seems to me that with these protests on the left, with the president tweeting today a bit more about how he believes

jill are off, we are waiting until 2019 before any immigration progress in congress at best? >> i don'tthink we can. ed: it's failed that you will get anything done. there are things congress can get done. >> absolutely. most immediate thing i disagree with executive order. i didn't like president obama's executive order on daca. i don't like the president's executive order on this case. so we have to get that tone in the next two weeks to actually pass narrow to keep families together. that means families and keeping kids with parents as they go through judicial process. it is not going to be for a long period of time. ed: last question, anything on

cracking down on illegal immigration, funding for wall. >> certainly funding for the wall. i would hope we get the entire 25 billion because that would mean we would be dealing with much more broad policy with visas, asylum, with diversity lotteries and some other things the president wants, but at minimum, we do one and a half, 1.6 billion like we already did to continue the progress that's happening right now and really triage the southern border to make sure we are fixing places where people are coming across the most. ed: working hard on this issue, good luck in the days ahead, appreciate you coming in. take care. shifting to big story in nation's capitol, vacancy in supreme court, aunions -- announcement by justice kennedy. this could send confirmation vote before midterm elections. >> i think we will have tremendous supreme court.

very highly, talented, mostly conservative judges. ed: democrats have other ideas to try to block that. gillian turner with more. >> president trump is facing one of the most consequential decisions as his administration. >> the most important decision you make is the selection of a supreme court judge, if you get it. and as you know, there have been many presidents that never got a choice. >> he says he plans to pick someone who can serve on the bench for decades but that's not stopping him from making his decision quickly. he plans to announce july 9th in time to get vote before midterm elections. >> we should be able to work through confirmation process sometime before early fall. hopefully in time for the new justice to begin the fall term of the supreme court. >> some of his fiercest opponents are prepping for battle.

>> people are rising people. donald trump is not king. no one makes it to the supreme court without going through the united states senate demand the united states senate everyone has a vote. >> the million dollar question now on lawmakers' mind the landmark roe versus wade that set precedence of abortion. >> you cannot ask a judge how he or she -- judge nominee how he or she would rule on a specific case, that's inappropriate, but i do get a sense from them on whether or not they respect precedence. >> democratic leaders are still smarting from events when they claim mitch mcconnell stole president trump's opportunity to fill a court seat left vacant by

antonin scalia's passing, feinstein had reminder for republican colleagues thursdays. she said it's time for them to reap what they've swon. >> author of the book legal crimes. i assume those are fiction? >> no, the death penalty is still there. >> about the death penalty. i wanted to make sure it wasn't murder at the supreme court. democrats are fighting for tough measures and they are fired up about this, short of violence what they are talking about is that they are nervous that president trump is about to reshape the court and move it far to the right. >> well, that's a well-established fear, this could be prif toll time in the history of the supreme court not since 1950's has the court been conservative as i think was about to be.

remember, the 60's we had very liberal justices, turn supreme court around an didn't happen, for this appointment this could very well happen. they'll be a big fight in the senate on this one. ed: do you think the left was asleep, they tried to deny sarah sanders table at restaurant and in some ways they are serious but shouldn't have happened but in my point being that justice kennedy stepped down on thursday, it got real, elections have consequences. >> ed, i think that's the basic most important message to come out of all of this. the court is being turned around because the way the election went and you just can't do anything about that except win elections. now, this fight that is now brewing, it's going to be nasty but it's not going to be anything of the nature that we had 30 years ago with robert cork which changed the game and the reason for that is republicans have the vote. every vote counts in the senate, but republicans have more than democrats.

ed: you raised an important point in '84, fight, ultimately did not get on the court, down the road among, i believe, the third choice that time around became justice kennedy and he eventually confirmed by democratic senate 97-0, by the way in 1988 which was presidential election year. somehow both parties came together then. >> yes, they did. i think they had a enough of quibbling but there's also interesting analogy, what made the nomination controversial who was to replace, swing justice like justice kennedy that makes the difference in the world. >> let's look ahead. the president believes he will have the vote, the president started by harry reid for other presidential nominations, mitch mcconnell and now for the supreme court with gorsuch first, only needed 51 votes and you've got some democrats, three democrats all up for reelection,

joe manchin, joe donnelly, heidi heitkemp will be pressed to vote yes this time in states that donald trump not only carried but carried by double digits. >> exactly right. a lot of shouting and screaming but by the end of the day this should be easy for republicans. if somehow there's a skeleton in the closet that comes out right before confirmation hearing and can delay this until january and democrats take the senate, well, then it would be different but that's in the nature of fairy tale right now. ed: absolutely. chris wallace moderated presidential debate, he started supreme court and was wise to recommend everybody to go to transcript, it's very important and always a pleasure. taxes and many other issues tomorrow, this exclusive sit-down i mentioned with maria

bartiromo on sunday morning futures right here on the fox news channel, don't miss it. meanwhile millions of americans bracing for heat wave, what you need to know before you go outdoors. small town in mourning as annapolis are coping and how people are honoring the victims. that's next. >> it has been a very responsible and honorable newspaper and to see five of its major leaders struck down in an instant, you know, it's a terrible blow to all of us. artb? try new alka-seltzer pm gummies. the only fast, powerful heartburn relief plus melatonin so you can fall asleep quickly. ♪ oh, what a relief it is! need a change of scenery?

ed: back to top stories, thousands of protestors filling streets in cities across the country calling for reunification of children and parts across the border. jeff, what are you seeing on the ground? >> we are at one of the hundreds of rallies that are taking place

coast to coast, as i take a step out of the way, a few thousand people gathered here in downtown los angeles to make sure that their voices are heard, more than 700 demonstrations are happening in cities like seattle, denver and folks at the particular rolllies are trying to send strong message against separation of immigrant children from families. despite executive order, they don't trust it and are worried they will be split apart. take a listen. >> they are people just period, their skin color doesn't matter, people who want a better life for themselves and kids and willing to risk their lives to do it. that's pretty american to me. >> there are going to be a few speakers, mayor eric garcetti, after march to go nearby detention center.

>> thank you for that. >> they talk about the mueller investigation, it's really the rosenstein investigation. you appointed mueller, you're supervising mueller and supposedly about collusion between trump's campaign and russia and obstruction of justice but you wrote the memo saying that comey should be fired and you signed the fisa extense for carter page. so my question is to you, seems like you should be rescued from this more so than jeff sessions because you were involved in making decisions affecting both prongs, why haven't you done that. >> congressman, if it were appropriate to recuse i would be more than happy to do so and let somebody else handle this but it's my responsibility to do this. >> how do you have obstruction of justice possibility for president exercising powers to fire an fbi director that you say should be fired and by the way, ig report makes it clear, comey should have been fired. >> internal>> sir, i'm not commn mueller probe and to the best of

my knowledge neither is mr. mueller. that doesn't relieve me of my obligation not to discuss subject matter of the investigation. ed: one of many fiery exchanges that one between congressman ron desantis and rod rosenstein, rosenstein and fbi director christopher wray appeared before the house committee and those were not the only heated words. tray gowdy, rosenstein should get mueller to wrap up as possible. >> whatever you've got, finish the hell up because the country is being torn apart. >> pretty strong words. >> good to see you. what's your sense about what whether rosenstein should are already basically admitted he had some sort of conflict here and basically stepped aside? >> well, it's all wicked witchcraft, we will have to wait and see what's in the end of the broom as far as how this

investigation goes down, eventually solves itself. it solves itself when it's done to be so. ed: when you look at the fact that rosenstein helped write the memo with attorney general jeff sessions that was given to the president that led ultimately to the firing of james comey, he is conflicted here and that we see this leak in the last 24 hours of "the new york times" four anonymous sources saying that rosenstein felt used, that's not really what he meant even though he testified i believe under oath to congress previously that he didn't have any problems about writing the memo. here is what alan dershowitz said about "fox & friends" about all of this. >> there are many ways of doing this, you can bring a lawsuit challenging his continued appearance as the first who is supervising the whole investigation, second, you can bring an ethics charge, you can file an ethics charge with the bars to which he is a members

saying he has no right to remain on the case but i don't understand as somebody who has taught legal ethics, first thing you learn is you can't be both prosecutor and witness, it can so much influence your role as prosecutor to know that if the case goes a certain way, then you are a witness f goes another way, maybe you're not a witness. you'll look terrible this way, you will look better the other way. he has real self-interest. ed: gary, i know it's some of the president's allies who have been raising questions about rosenstein, this is alan dershowitz, life-long democrat, he's saying, look, rosenstein is a witness in this case, how in the world is he also overseeing that same case as the overseer of the budget and the scope of one robert mule sner. >> well, he makes a very good point but i think ultimately what's going to have to happen is have the report itself, now, he's not -- as far as i know and as far as anybody knows not actually involved in the actual investigation. in other words, while he may be

supervising in terms of mueller reporting to him, he'll not actually part of the investigation. however, it is a good point, what happens if that investigation shows something about james comey and then the question is, well, you're the one that was responsible for comey possibly being fired and that makes you a potential witness in a case that you're directing. ed: honest yes, not just to me about beating up on rod rosenstein, trying to get the facts here, people get frustrated because in the case of the department of justice inspector general report we find months and months later the fbi agents involved in the case with the hillary clinton, that side of it, sending messages, we will block donald trump from being elected, we will get insurance policy to make sure he's not elected and doesn't look like anybody is paying consequences. are we going to find out likewise six months to a year, rod rosenstein, he should have rescued himself and then it's too late because people have been indicted, all the other things have happened, can you see the frustration people have?

>> i see the frustration, remember, the mueller investigation is supposed to be independent investigation, so even though he reports to the justice department, he's not sharing or should not be sharing the actual investigation and day-to-day activities of his investigators with the justice department and, of course, they have been tight lip, we don't know, for example, how close if close at all has mueller been with anybody from justice including rod rosenstein. ed: all right, obviously a very important story to be covering, we appreciate your legal counsel and advise and insight which is help us separate fact and fiction, thanks for coming in. >> take care. >> voters in méxico set to choose new president tomorrow. the stakes are high as we are talking about immigration reform in the country, candidates pledge to put méxico on a whole new path. >> we are talking about dignity. the dignity of the mexican

people. we need a very strong president. ed: as i mentioned immigration, drug control, the fate of nafta all at the forefront is issue on both sides of u.s.-méxico border, who better to send to méxico city, william, always all over the stories, william, what's happening down there? >> ed, as you said united states is méxico's trading partner, méxico is number 3 for u.s. as you mentioned polls suggest obrador and many say he's a mere image of president trump both on other side, populist and nationalist and say outrageous things and criticize calling nafta unfair. obrador stubborn, left-wing socialist who will turn méxico in venezuela. supporters see obrador as

incorruptible reformer and end drug violence and returning wealth to méxico small's farmers. >> i'm not just outbid everybody as becoming the agent of change and the gentleman who channeled all of the enormous resentment of the mexican people. >> all the signs up to this point are that his message is one of unity, of trying to bring méxico forward. ed: what would obrador mean for the u.s., dramatic change in tone and policy and cooperations says analyst, méxico will not assist the u.s. in stopping mexican or central american immigrants, he plans to end drug violence in three years by offering amnesty to heroin rather only yum and marijuana growers and say it is mexican military will not do america's dirty work fighting cartels. >> if you're a supplier country,

you will no longer waste time going after chapo guzmán and that's going to probably frustrate u.s. authorities somewhat if that is the case, then why would you continue to give u.s. dollars to a government that is not cooperating. pretty simple. >> so election is tomorrow, we expect results around need might, most expect abrad or to win in landslide, back to you. ed: thank you for that report. the president back at home celebrating six months on signing historic tax reform bill. how are those tax cuts impacting the economy? we will take a closer look next. >> the difficult family of four earning $75,000 will see income tax cut of more than $2,000 and in some cases more.

>> six months after tax cuts more than 6 million workers have received bonuses, pay raises and retirement account contributions. [applause] ed: the president touting his historic tax cut six months after signing the bill into law. he said the sweeping tax reform has been a tremendous boost to the economy, there's evidence to back that up, created hundreds of thousands of new jobs. in exclusive sit-down interview with maria bartiromo from fox business and will be on sunday morning futures tomorrow the president said he's working on phase two of the plan which would be more focused on the middle class, listen. maria: we have seen the impact of the economy. what do you want to see happen now, does the economy need more stimulus, are you looking for phase 2? >> we are doing phase 2, we will be doing probably october, maybe sooner than that and it'll be

more of a middle class. we did a lot for the middle class but this would be aimed at middle class. bringing 21% down to 20 and then for the most part the rest of it would go to middle class. it's a great stimulus. ed: let's bring in panel, republican strategic consultant and howard franklin, democratic campaign strategists, welcome both of you. >> thank you. ed: all right. howard, i noticed that the atlanta fed said that we may see economic growth pretty soon of 4.5% due in part to tax cut, i thought nancy plos yes told us it was going to be crumbs and sounds like cake actually. >> it does, i think it's always too soon to say six months into the piece of national legislation how much impact that legislation has and drive of numbers thus far.

pundits or economists from either side of the political spectrum have said as much they said from previous presidents, i think it's true in the case as well. ed: giano on the other hand while we have seen positive impact from tax cuts, when the president is talking about phase 2 and focus it on the middle class, is that a sign that round 1 has at least appearance of helping corporations and big shots and main he's going try to fine-tune this before the midterms? >> well, we look at 44 and a half year low in unemployment, i would disagree. in addition we have proof of evidence six months in. we are at 3.8gdp and projected to be over 4% this year. i think where there needs to be fix is where we see in california, new york, new jersey and maryland where we know that there's been draconian impact on the tax bill when folks deduct mortgage interest as well as property tax and local sales tax

so what we know the property tax bill reduced people being able to write off interest rates, property mortgage interest rates at million dollars went down to 750 and for those who pay property tax, they are only able to write off $10,000 of that when it's over 4.5 million people with property tax of $10,000. i think that's where the second fix will come in. ed: we heard about this blue wave, with the tax cuts, with the regulations that have been cut, this economic progress, the low unemployment that gianno mentioned, are republicans going to do better than expected in the midterms? >> i don't know if it's -- might be too soon to say that as well, again, what i will say is focus on middle class focus on admission that the first stimulus package wasn't focused on middle class, stakeholders and corporate interest and

secondly acknowledgment that at the current rate we are going with politics as they are that president trump realizes that his party is lacking come november and needs to step it up. >> no, no. ed: you can jump in. >> democrats are ashamed and defacto leaders, maxine waters and campaign strategy on whatever maxine waters says. numbers are coming in and voters are satisfied. ed: 10 seconds but gianno brought heat there, a chance to respond. >> yeah, democrats have won the vast majority of special elections since donald trump has been president. i think that trend will continue come november 2018. ed: gentlemen, thank you very much. >> be aware of those districts. ed: he gets the last word. thanks for coming in. iranians in exile take to streets in paris calling for
