welcome back. well calls to abolish i.c.e. going from a french movement on the far left to the mainstream democratic party's platform as protests erupt across the nation. >> what is the actual mission of iment c.e. and what role does it play in our national security. our next guest knows first hand, former special agent in charge of customs enforcements, homeland security investigations in san antonio, jerry robertet. you hear all of these calls to abolish i.c.e. and it seems unclear what i.c.e.'s real role is. >> as you know, i.c.e. is composed of basically two components, enforcement removal operation and hsi. hsi is the investigative arm of i.c.e. it's just unfortunate when you see what's on tv, the only thing
3:16 am
they're reporting is basically the administrative arrests and housing and deportation of illegal aliens. and the work of the agents is not being covered or reported on. >> beyond just the enforcement part, help our audience understand, when it comes to i.c.e., there are over 30,000 people that work for i.c.e. what are their duties? what are some of the things that they do in this country? >> shi agents, we have hsi composed of approximately 8400 personnel. of the 8400, 6100 of them are special agents. the special agents are just like special agents at dea, special agents at fbi, these are criminal investigators that conduct investigations. hsi is responsible for investigating violations of customs and immigration law as it impacts our homeland security, our border security and public safety.
3:17 am
everything that we do is connected to those three prongs. >> now border patrol and i.c.e. are different agencies and have different functions, correct? >> correct. hsi, we work hand in hand with custom and border protection which is composed of field operations and border patrol. border patrol patrols the border. field operations controls the ports of entry. whenever they encounter narcotics, contraband, whenever border patrol finds a tractor trailer load of aliens, they call the agents to conduct the investigations. and it's not just the investigations of the crimes at hand. the purpose of hsi is to take that case and move forward as far as they can, try to find out where were those aliens going, who were waiting on them, wore o were paying if for aliens who is responsible for bringing them into the country. same thing for the contraband.
3:18 am
they're responsible for identifying where it's going, who is receiving it, where is the money and following it back words. >backwards. >> look at this, 2017, more than 81,000 aliens were arrested, 92% of aliens arrested had criminal convictions, pending criminal charges, 4800 criminal gang arrests, nearly 800 arrests involved ms-13, 7,000 pounds of heroin and 2300 pounds of fentanyl were received. what do you make of the rhetoric we're hearing. we played sound from dick durbin whereby the number two democrat in the senate who said base is i.c.e. is incomparable. what do you make of that? >> if you spend two minutes on the internet he could get a mouthful of what i.c.e. and hsi does. i think it's ir response, considering that these agents place their lives -- we have agents that have lost their lives in the performance of
3:19 am
their duties. we have agents that put their families in front -- their jobs in front of their families. you know, you see them, they come to the border for a few hours, they have a field trip, they spend a few hours at the border and then they go back and pretend they know what happens apt the border. they have no clue. and honestly i think they do have a clue but it's not to their benefit to acknowledge the work that's being done. >> a lot of politics there. jerry, thank you for your service. appreciate what you do. thank you, sir. >> no question. coming up, a vacation tours deadly. a tour boat with americans on it erupts into flames in the bahamas. and former president obama backing nancy pelosi's potential return to speaker but a new poll shows her favorability is sinking within her own party. diamond and silk are fired up about this. they're here to react next. >> when are they not fired up? ♪ ♪

she don't work for americans. if he don't realize that, there may be something wrong. maybe he just don't have a clue as to what's going on. >> well, i want your thoughts on this. we all saw the protests yesterday from coast to coast, thousands of people coming out over immigration, you had democrats, the american people, a number of celebrities speaking out. let me show you this and i'll get your reaction afterwards. >> we don't see your brothers and sisters who come to america for a better life as animals or thugs >> america at its best is big, beautiful and diverse. it's not petty and not exclusive like mar-a-lago. ultraexclusive, tremendous. >> our democracy is at stake. our humanity is at stake. >> you have a message this morning for some of those protesters. what is it? >> my message is this. stop being a hypocrite and start

3:46 am
he's not work on behalf of the white house. not a white house spokesperson but he's working to support the push to expand the tax breaks. we appreciate you coming in today, julio. >> thank you for having me. >> let's break down for people, they may not understand what the president is referring to. he's revealing it to maria bartiromo. everybody can see the full interview in a couple of hours. six months ago, historic tax cuts. what does he want to do in phase 2? >> we wants to reduce to tax rates, more crumbs for everyone. he wants to make the tax cuts permanent. that's going to be really important. he wants to stimulate entrepreneurship with more business, credits and sin sen is and fix some technical errors. when you fix thousands of pages of tax code, there's always things you need to fine tune and fix up. >> let me play devil's advocate
3:47 am
for a moment. we heard the president talking on friday how historic it was. i get you've got to fix some technical errors months later. i get that. but is this an acknowledgment that phase 1 was geared more towards corporations and less the middle class and he's trying to fix that? >> it accomplished both. tox reform accomplished benefits for both middle class, all individuals and corporations. but here he wants to bring down the individual tax rates even further to help stimulate the economy. and commit to some of the promises that he made in his campaign. >> so what do you think will be the most important new piece of phase two that will affect our viewers? >> well i think permanency is important because right now everything is sunsetting in five to ten years. it makes it difficult to plan and makes it difficult to project how you'll take benefit
3:48 am
now. so making it permanent is important because we know nancy wants to basically repeal tax reform and if we make it permanent, the stars would have to align, the house and senate and the president would all have to be democrat to change that. >> i get that the president -- counter act what you're say, nancy pelosi saying elect democrats to run the house. he wants to get ahead of that and get it to phase 2. how is he going to get it done in october to get it done before the election when nancy pelosi doesn't have the votes to stop him? >> well they got tax 1.0 done and they have control and he has a lot of incentives and a lot of control with the democrats now. she'he's show how powerful he id america loves him. now is the time to do it. i think he wants to show that tax reform can change every year
3:49 am
to benefit the economy and fine tune it every year and make it stronger. >> it will be interesting to see if the democrats don't want to block phase 2 in october on the eve of a midterm election when joe manchin and others may need the tax cuts. we appreciate you coming in. democrats joining thousands of protesters nationwide. charlie kurt went toe to toe with the protesters to grill them on the substantive issues. he found out some interesting stuff and do you know the sig tans of the year 1776? i hope so. but sadly not everyone seems to. >> what is the significance of 1776? >> i don't know. >> i'm not a history person. >> i can tell. >> christopher columbus.

party. we are literally in the worst part of the party since the 1920 s. >> i am not about to let this country go by the way of donald trump. today, i ii say impeach him. president trump: i hope they keep thinking about it. >> ♪ ♪ abby: it is going to be a hot one today, across the country, but it still feels nice right now at 7:00 in the morning. ed: on july 1. >> it's july. abby: you're right. >> we were just in june. ed: the midway point. half way through the year. abby: it is the week of july 4th so we always celebrate freedom on this show but the week of july 4th is like what the show was made for. like a moment for the show. >> we get to set it off right here.
4:02 am
ed: perfect, fireworks in cheyenne, wyoming. it was still dark out there, light here in the east and we will be celebrating freedom all morning long. abby: that's right and if you are sticking around this sunday you'll want to watch maria bartiromo's interview with president trump, she talks about a number of things but top of mind was of course what's going on in this country with immigration and she asked him specifically about i.c.e. and he doubled down about the roles they play and how important they are to this country and also hit back on democrats some of them that are talking about abolish ing i.c.e. altogether. here is a bit of that interview with maria. maria: the 28 year old socialistic says abolish i.c.e. and get this, more democrats are getting in line with that, today saying we need to abolish i.c.e. president trump: well i hope they keep thinking about it because they will get beaten so badly. do you know i.c.e., these are the guys that go and take ms-13 and take them out because they're much tougher like by a
4:03 am
factor of 10. and you get rid of i.c.e. you'll have a country that you'll be afraid to walk out of your house i love that issue. ed: this is like the way republicans say you want to make nancy pelosi speak, bring it on that's what donald trump is saying right there. the president is saying if you if you want to make the mid-term s about abolishing i.c.e. the agency created post- 9/11 to go after terrorists , illegal immigrants in this country and also deal with child trafficking and all kinds of other things disgusting things going on they are trying to stop to now be eating up at them and what's interesting is this started as a radical left wing really a socialistic idea . let's just abolish i.c.e. but it went mainstream after this 28 year old socialistic candidate, we mentioned her before, alexandria cortez beat congressman joe crowley in new york and all of a sudden you have main street senators saying yeah, let's just abolish it and dick durbin is going even further. he is the number two senate democrat and yesterday, he said
4:04 am
i.c.e. is full of in competence. that's what he said, listen. >> look at i.c.e. what a group of incompetents. at this point they're focused more on toddlers than terrorists instead of deporting felons, they want to deport families and instead of focusing on stopping bad drugs from coming in they're separating kids from their families. time to put an end to this policy. abby: all of i.c.e. is now apparently incompetent so he was talking of course yesterday overseeing the protest thousands of people that came out across this country. thousands of americans but also a number of celebrities and you know this they come out and talk about things they're passionate about and a lot of them talked about abolishing i.c.e. but some talked about love and coming together in this country. that's what this country is about but we spoke earlier, dean , with a former special agent in charge of i.c.e. and he said people don't fully
4:05 am
understand what the role of i.c.e. is and what they do on the border. here is a bit of what he told us >> if he just spent two minutes on the internet he could get a mouthful of what i.c.e. and hsi does and i think it's irresponsible considering that these agents place their lives, acts have lost their lives in the performance of the duty. they come to the border for a few hours, they have a field trip, spend a few hours at the border and go back and pretend like they know what happens at the border. they have no clue and honestly i think they do have a clue but it's not to their benefit to acknowledge the work being done. ed: i think that's a funny idea like dick durbin going on a field trip, like let's pack a little lunch and go to the border for a couple hours and look have they been involved in some separations overturned by the president? sure but that doesn't mean if he claimed they've dropped dealing with drugs and trafficking and all these other thins they're doing multiple jobs.
4:06 am
>> you do see that seenly raised it there because they do a heck of a job down there and that's really tough to hear from the number two senate democrat that's really a tough thing. ed: it's going mainstream now it's a march to the left. >> maybe dick durbin wants to retract that statement because he's talking about people that he set out there and people make the laws for these people to enforce. abby: there may be a concern though they see this 28 year old girl who wins in queens and surprises everyone beats crowley who was supposed to be the next democratic leader in the house and there may be the sense within the democratic party of maybe we need to take on this extreme rhetoric if we want to win. i don't think it's the right approach in my opinion but i think that there is a debate going on right now within the democratic party of how do we win elections. ed: where did she start before a candidate? an organizer for bernie sanders. >> but can we call these rall ies what they really are? anti-trump rallies. they really are anti-trump rall
4:07 am
ies the same people who marched against everything he's done every step of the way the same group of organizers and same people saying anti-trump things. ed: it's like a rerun almost of the women's march at the beginning of the trump adminitration, madonna saying let's go blow up the white house literally. things like that. and so the issue, the specific issue whether it's women's or immigration may change but i think your point is right which is it's really about being anti-trump so if this is a rerun , maybe there's a rerun going on in the house democratic leadership as well because you have barack obama as a former president weighing in saying yeah, i'd love to see nancy pelosi be the speaker again even though there are some moderate democrats saying please, no. abby: this is at a fundraiser that was held on friday. they say this, this is what barack obama said. nancy, i believe, is one of the greatest speakers we ever had and will once again be one of the greatest speakers we've ever had after we get through this cycle and there's not much i could have gotten done without having nancy there alongside of me every step of the way.
4:08 am
look, there are a number of republicans that love this very thing. by all means, let's keep her at the top of that party because that means -- >> because her favorability is? abby: nine-year low. ed: among democrats. and 55% she's going to say yeah, i have concerns about nancy pelosi. ed: 22% among republicans 11% in terms of favorability and then at least the idea though is that there are democrats rising up and saying that's why joe crowley had some standing in the party before he lost this primary battle because they were saying if democrats take back the house they've got to find new leadership. abby: at what point do you look in the mirror and say i've got to do what's best for the party not what might be the best for my self. >> maybe the ninth term. abby: so people are frustrated for politics. you get in there, do the job and then leave but people that stay
4:09 am
there for years and years and years and never see the reality of maybe it's time to pull out and let new generations, new blood come in and speak for this party. ed: you see this with hillary clinton not wanting to leave the stage either the clintons still having it along the party and there are members of congress who say hang on a second. we need fresh blood. here is the massachusetts senate >> i think it's time for an entire new generation of leadership in the democratic party. we have to look ourselves in the mirror and relationshippize that trump maybe terrible but if we are literally in the worst position in the party since the 1920s which is where we are today then we've got to make reforms ourselves and i think a new generation of leaders will come from many different corners of the party. ed: it's funny with maxine water s and others and the extreme laughter rising up in recent weeks you're starting to see attention in the median a among democratic lawmakers about the split and the democratic party and how many stories have you read about problems in the
4:10 am
republican party? it's the party of trump republican leaders not standing up to them story after story and that's the narrative as opposed to what is now being exposed which is a real problem in the democratic party. abby: we'll probably see that play out in the mid-terms in the polls because the only way to move forward and get policy you agree with is to get your people elected. ed: we'll see because the president has been saying look i hear a blue wave but the president is saying he doesn't think it's going to be a blue wave and there's a rising red wave. abby: let us know what you think i want to bring you other headlines, tensions boiling out of control as antifa and right wing activists clash during a conservative march. watch this. anti-fascists pelting eggs, water bottles and even fire crackers at the patriot prayers group, portland police making several arrests and seizing knives, pepper spray and clubs,

abby: president trump said he will be picking a supreme court nominee on july 9 after supreme court justice anthony kennedy announced his plans to resign effective july 31. the president said he's now narrowed his previous list of 25 potential nominees to just five people. a lawyer who serves as the chief counsel and policy director at the judicial crisis network and she joins us right now with who she thinks the top picks are. great to have you with us. >> great to be here, abbey. abby: this is one of the most important picks of his presidency one of the most important decisions he will make so let's go through the top five that we know have been reported
4:17 am
to be on that list. let's start with amy barrett. give us a sense of who she is. >> as a mom i find her so inspiring because she's a mother mother of seven, two adopted from haiti one with special needs and she's found time to be a law professor, a highly- regarded law professor at notre dame, has written on originalism and constitutional law so i'm just really impressed now indiana the 7th circuit court of appeals so i think that would be exciting to see her on the high court. abby: joan larson. another woman. >> she used to sit on the michigan supreme court and she has experience and also used to be a professor at the university of michigan as a professor, and was an award winning teacher there so again she and barrett were at the same confirmation hearing so they've very been together in the top line before. abby: great to see to women on top of a small list. next one.
4:18 am
amul sapar. >> right he's a former district judge which is interesting brings the trial side experience that a lot of supreme court justices don't have. he was on the presidents list even when a district judge and elevated to the appeals court by president trump the first south asian federal article 3 judge in the country so a really ground breaker and i've heard from people who argued before him are very impressed. abby: what an impressive resume. thomas hardeman. >> he was widely thought would be one of the final finalists and he is a third circuit judge, known for the second amendment and he's the one who got into a car chase with some reporters and they were chasing him thinking maybe he was driving to the white house for that announcement last january. i think he's got a lot of experience with the car driving thing because he actually worked his way through law school as taxi driver so he came from -- abby: i love that. >> a neat background there. abby: that could come in handy. raymond kethledge.
4:19 am
>> he is on the 6th circuit also from michigan and he has now nine almost 10 years of experience in the court and a lot of ways reminds me of justice gorsuch including his writing styles very articulate very thoughtful but also lines to start his opinions with a section explaining it kind of for the lay reader so you get what they're talking about it's not written just for the elite but then of course gets into the details thoughtfully later. abby: brett carve a newnab. that name came up before neil gorsuch as ultimately picked what do you know about this? >> he was added to the list recently last november and he is a d.c. circuit judge. that court is considered to be the minor leagues for the supreme court and a lot of justice us come from there and it sits in d.c. and hears so many administrative cases so he would have great experience dealing with questions of separation of power. he has written some powerful opinions on for example, whether
4:20 am
the cfpb is even legal and constitutional so he's got a lot of significant experience that on some of those top issues that are going to come before the court. abby: you can't say the president doesn't have a long bench of quite impressive people and diversity of different backgrounds good to have you on helpful to break this down for us. >> great to be here. abby: thanks so much coming up you saw both nationwide immigration protests but what you didn't see, how those protesters feel about i.c.e. and those coming into the country illegally. charlie kirk went out there and he found out. >> we should abolish i.c.e. >> if that's what it takes to get things organized. >> you'd welcome the 13 members >> everyone. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

abby: we are back with some news by the numbers first. $1.7 million that is how much this fentanyl would sell for on the street. a border patrol drug dog sniffed it out at a philadelphia port. 110 pounds of the deadly opioid were stashed inside barrels shipped from china. next, $1.2 million, that is the street value of this marijuana. deputies found it inside a house by accident. the sheriff's office in georgia made the big bust while looking for a suspect on an unrelated charge. and finally, 48 that is how many babies were born in less than 41 hours at one texas hospital. can you imagine the baby boom, keeping this nursery very busy. ed: 48 babies in 41 hours. dean: i can do the math on that. ed: democrats join thousands of protesters demanding among other things to abolish i.c.e. >> we need to rebuild our
4:25 am
immigration system from top to bottom, starting by replacing i.c.e. >> look at i.c.e. what a group of incompetents. >> "abolish i.c.e." dean: turning point usa charlie kirk went to see if the activists knew what they were talking about. charlie i imagine it was quite enlightening out there with the protesters. >> that's one way to put it there's a lot of anger and outrage and what i realized is that these protests were much more about hating trump than actually helping children or even actually trying to solve an immigration protest. what was said earlier is so true this is the same sort of people and the same activists that were marching in the women's march and the gun control march because the left they had gone all in and they are not, they're horrified that trump actually might succeed in fact that's a threat to their political future they're in the worst place as a
4:26 am
party they've been since 1920s. they have to find this very emotional divisive political issues that unfortunately pull on the heartstrings of america that are being misrepresented by the media. you look at time magazine that intentionally mislead their readers by putting an image they said was separated at a young girl that was separated from her family and was not and so these are very emotional issues. ed: and we've got a little taste of what you saw on the ground in the chicago area. we'll talk about it on the other side. listen. >> there are rapists, murders and drug dealers crossing the southern border. they say we should abolish i.c.e. >> if that's what it takes to get things organized that would be appropriate. >> there is a wall. there's two things here.
4:27 am
there is a wall and you can walk back and forth. >> you would with ms-13 members >> no hate, no fear. ed: remarkable because when you talked to that one woman they said well there are rapists and drug dealers crossing the border they say well it's right and the point you made a moment ago that isn't it fascinating that this is the end of the week in which the rallies occurred in which the president was dominated the supreme court decisions that went his way now he's got another pick on the court he's going to reshape that and just the lefts anger just keeps boil ing. >> i call it the outrage olympics. they are almost trying to outdo themselves how angry they are. look they're losing. i would be upset too if i no longer controlled the supreme court, the house of representatives, the economy was booming, peace was on the horizon, a president you thought was going to do horribly is actually succeeding historically and is on the up-tick. i would also be pretty outraged
4:28 am
but instead they should convert that outrage into some sort of reconciliation or path forward instead of trying to demagogue the most successful president of our lifetime. what i saw yesterday in the suburbs of chicago mind you and i went there in tension alley because a different sort of protester than if i went to the streets of chicago were just very upset people that thought they were on the riotous side of this argument when in reality they were lacking facts. ed: every time they're losing it seems like they throw out the hitler card. >> also i found it really interesting says i.c.e., here welcome in. charlie great job i'm glad you were safe well done my friend. >> you bet. ed: meanwhile she calls on americans to harass trump officials and even some members of her own party denounced her but maxine waters not backing down. >> i am not about to let this country go by the way of donald trump. today i say, impeach 45. ed: more from maxine, straight

4:53 am
flags for anybody, actually. todd: what was it like to get that call from president trump that you, your company, national capital flag company one of the 50 companies recognized as a made in america company. >> i was honored i got the call that said we would like to have you come in and represent virginia in the made in america and when the president came by he looked at our flags and shook his hand and said nice job. todd: we're here at the national capital flag company joined by elizabeth. simple question, how do you make a flag? >> well for our embroidered flags it starts off in the art department and then the design goes over to the machine. todd: so it's not all machines there's a key part of the process that requires good old american workers. >> once they come off the machinist just a first step and then she will come up here and work on the blue itself. todd: a flag is one of those
4:54 am
thins that you see flying all the time but i don't think anybody stopped to think about what it takes to make it. it's a pretty complicated process. >> it is and we're very good at it. it looks so simple though when you see it. all you roanne sones just impressed by it. i think if you don't know about the process it's all these little bits of effort going on along the process. todd: so chances are somebody watching tv at home, they've watched a little bit of history they probably seen one of your flags? >> the other day when president trump had the king of jordan, those jordan flags behind him we made those. during the north korean summit we made some of the flags that were there. todd: what does made in america mean to you? >> made in america to me means jobs for myself and the other 17 employees here, and also, the pride that we know we've done with our own hands. todd: why is it so important for the average american just sitting at home to try at all costs to buy american. >> the sim bowl of our country and they want to make sure it's
4:55 am
made in america and that goes for an american car, clothes, as much as you can, it's important. todd: we seen the american flag at so many proud american moment s. last couple weeks, there's a lot of divisiveness in our country right now. you make flags. do you see the flag sort of ris ing above all of that being the symbol that we can all unite behind once again? >> i do. when people come in here we don't have the political, we don't even talk politics. we just talk about the flag. the flag itself rises above all of that. todd: isn't that such an important message in these divisive times? really that's a symbol of us. abby: todd you see that flag flying at the north korean summit amazing. you don't know the back story there. where do these flags originally come from what a great piece. dean: speaking of which, flags, obviously the topic of the day whenever we go some place we like to get something that is representative of us here at fox

5:03 am
ed: tax cuts, and oh, by the way democrats are stepping in this issue of let's abolish i.c.e. which started as a socialistic idea basically and is now going mainstream where the center of their party is saying yeah, let's do this senators in a race for 2020 are going a race to the left basically. >> dick durbin saying what he said it's shocking. abby: that i.c.e. is basically incompetent you said he's one of the leading democrats in this senate so maria bartiromo in that interview also asked about immigration because that's such a focus of the conversation recently asked him about that and asked about the democrats and what they've been saying about i.c.e. and here is what he said. maria: 28 year old socialistic that just beat out joe crowley says abolish i.c.e. and get this more democrats are getting in line with that, today saying we need to abolish i.c.e. president trump: well i hope they keep thinking about it because they will get beaten so badly. do you know, i.c.e., these are the guys that go and take ms13 and they take them out
5:04 am
because they're much tougher than ms13 like by a factor of 10 and these are the ones, you get rid of i.c.e., you're going to have a country that you'll be afraid to walk out of your house i love that issue if they actually do that. ed: the president is basically saying bring it on. if you want to make this an issue in the mid-terms and the idea that say republicans would like to abolish the irs because they want to bring taxes down you want to abolish i.c.e. because you want open borders he's willing to do that. abby: by all means go out and talk about this because he feels this could be a winning issue for the republicans dean: if you weigh those two i think he wins on that one. abby: an interesting debate to have but yesterday there were protests across the country thousands of people coming out including celebrities your friends in hollywood dean, the same we've seen came out during the women's march and look protests are great in this country if you're fighting for something you leave in and there was a lot of talk about love and bringing people together but you also had dick durbin who had pretty cruel things to say about i.c.e. here is some of that yesterday.
5:05 am
>> our democracy is at stake. >> [applause] >> our humanity is at stake. >> we don't see our brothers and sisters who come to america for a better life as animals or thugs. >> [applause] >> we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom, starting by replacing i.c.e. with something that reflects our morals. >> look at i.c.e. what a group of incompetents at this point they're focused more on toddlers than terrorists. it's time to put an end to this cruel and incompetent policy. ed: so think about it you could plug in the issue whether it was gun control rallies now immigration started out as a women's march with madonna saying let's go blow up the white house basically, and so it's playing into the president
5:06 am
's hands perhaps in a way because we listen to john legend one of the thins he said we're not animals well who did the president call animals? ms-13 gangs who literally carve kids up. he wasn't talking about children at the border. he was talking about gang members. dean: it always gets conflated and then all those different words to be everything that's anti-trump. abby: you're right exactly right dean because the anger you see in these protests is not necessarily about i.c.e. the original anger the root of it is with president trump, and that is there so if you are mad about our immigration system by the way, you got to be mad at our lawmakers. and both sides of the aisle. ed: yes absolutely. abby: because its been decades where they had an opportunity to come to the table and maybe negotiate things from both sides to get something real done they have yet to do that. dean: which makes it so weird so see congressman and senators going we've got to do something. you guys are the ones who are supposed to. abby: and now it's i.c.e.'s
5:07 am
fault. lawmakers are saying i.c.e. is to blame. for" us doing our job. ed: dick durbin said these folks are i.c.e. are incompetent. these are federal agents doing their jobs, putting their lives on the line every single day. it's a horrible thing to say. abby: i would love to have dick durbin on this couch across from some of the folks at work in i.c.e. that we've had on the show and say that very thing to their face. ed: i've got another idea put him on one side of the couch and other side of the couch put someone like courtney hacking who lost two kids and her husband in a car crash caused by an illegal immigrant. >> everybody wants to talk about the families being separated from illegal immigration and that's the hot topic but what they don't think about is that we are in america and every day, parents are separated from their children permanently by actions that are often caused by the people,
5:08 am
those very people, who are here illegally to begin with. it saddens me that their stories aren't getting told. ed: we'll tell those stories. abby: why aren't we protesting that and why aren't people even more fired up about those innocent lives that have been lost? i spoke to her months ago on this show. what a story she has to tell. she lost much of her family and inspiring and she's very strong when she talks about immigration and it's an important, i think, angle to the conversation that does not get enough attention. ed: it doesn't fit the narrative dean: also border patrol is the one getting people as they come across the border. it's not i.c.e. they're protesting the wrong group. ed: i.c.e. is dealing with the people already here, some illegal and trying to get the illegals out of the country. it's their job but don't tell that to maxine waters because she looks at this situation and just doubles, triples down and remember there were democratic leaders a couple weeks ago who were saying that maxine should camp down with the impeach 45. abby: does she let them?
5:09 am
ed: she is back and yesterday, again, stated to be an immigration rally turned it into an anti-trump rant, and rather than trying to turn the temperature down, she just turned it up. >> now, we have some members of congress who are intimidated. i have no fear. i'm in this, and i know that there are those who are talking about kicking me out of congress , talking about shooting me, talking about hanging me. >> booo. >> all i have to say is this if you shoot me you better shoot straight. there's nothing like a wounded animal. >> [applause] >> i am not about to let this country go by the way of donald trump. we are sick and tired of him. he's been there too long. they dare me to say impeach him, today i say impeach 45. >> [applause]
5:10 am
ed: i hope and pray she no longer gets death threats. newly-released member of congress should face that kind of threat of violence, but if it's true, that people are threatening to hang her, threatening to shoot her, to then say you better shoot straight and like almost egging it on, let's turn this down. abby: i think that it's that language that is why we are where we are today. she says president trump has been in too long. i think he's been in a year and three months. she's been talking about impeaching him from the very beginning. ed: do you know who needs to talk to him directly was steve scalise, he was shot by a supporter of bernie sanders. not necessarily bernie sanders' fault just somebody that was amp ed up said i'm targeting republican members of congress and he was shot and nearly killed but she's talking about shootings come on. dean: they were in the southern poverty law center's hate group and they came here and we're going to get this guy it's just the wrong way to go. abby: both sides everyone needs to calm down. we can have debates but that talk to get it.
5:11 am
ed: how has she been in congress abby: longer than a year and three months. [laughter] we do have other headlines i want to bring you starting on a very serious note. nine people have been brutally stabbed in an apartment complex overnight in boise, idaho. many victims are feared to be refugees including several children. four are in critical condition at this very hour. the 30 year old suspect was quickly taken into custody, you can see him right there. no motive has yet been determined. we'll keep a close eye on this story. also, the republican michael cloud wins a texas congressional special election by a landside. cloud, avoiding a run off in saturday's race earning abby: 55 % of the vote, he will resume the term and it expires in january. cloud says that he will run again in november. that is one. all right, well recreational marijuana now legal in two east coast states today, in massachusetts, customers 21 and
5:12 am
over can buy pot at licensed stores, in vermont the rules are a little more strict, marijuana users are allowed to have up to one ounce but can only smoke in private places. there is also no legal market for marijuana in vermont. dean: where you going to find that then? abby: california. ed: exactly or utah. abby: not utah. colorado. ed: several democrats meanwhile as we said rallying to abolish i.c.e., but is this really a winning message for democrats heading into the mid-terms? we're going to ask a democratic polster whose not so sure next. dean: and he was a guest on this show so many times master sargent mark evans started an incredible program sending a slice of home to our troops. he sadly passed away last year but his son is now keeping the pizza for patriots mission alive and he joins us live, coming up.

5:17 am
it's a terrible idea. >> well, what we're saying is that this is an agency run completely amuk, that needs complete reform with standards, accountability and training, and as it was this morning said needs to be redone from the ground up. that said, democrats also have to reassure people that we understand there's a need for internal security and we have that. we have that with the fbi and the department of justice, we have it with the state department of consolate, we have it with border control, we have it with local law enforcement. i.c.e. is not contributing to internal security. i.c.e. is contributing to a disaster in our country that doesn't reflect our values, and they break the law as much as they enforce them. ed: wow hang on a second. that's a pretty strong statement what evidence do you have that i.c.e. breaks the law? >> it's against the law in this country to separate children from their mothers we've never had that policy. ed: will the white house disagrees with you and says that
5:18 am
the existing law allows for it previous presidents did not enforce that part of the law because they figured it would blow up in their face like it did for this white house but they're saying the law says the opposite of what you're saying. >> donald trump has broken so many immigration laws, immigration policies and immigration and refugee treaties that his saying that something is legal is a joke and of course continually turned back on him. ed: okay well obviously he would deny he's breaking the law he's trying to enforce the law but i don't want to get side tracks on that but i do want to quote you. you said "i worry that abolish ing i.c.e. tips the issues from humane treatment which we've seen recent days to security. etiquette the republicans are already trying to move the issue in that direction, borders need it for security. i wish we were pushing this to we need comprehensive immigration reform. i've got to say respectfully that is not what top democrats like pamela harris who want to run for president are doing. they are not saying let's reform
5:19 am
things like you said a moment ago in fairness. they are saying abolish i.c.e. and dick durbin is saying they are full of in competence. >> [laughter] well i think dick durbin's comment was taken out of context and of course i.c.e. as you said doesn't do border security. i.c.e. does internal immigration policy. that said, it's a very legitimate question that you're raising and that the public is going to raise, what are we doing about security and i think we need to couple our answer on abolishing i.c.e. which is a very legitimate policy. it's needed reform, and called for reform for a long time including redoing it as an independent agency, putting it in together with other agencies, but we need to couple that with a security response. ed: so pardon me but it sounds to me like you're getting at something very important which it seems to me that you may be pointing the democratic party to the idea that just running out saying let's abolish i.c.e. does not make a lot of sense either literally or politically and so you're trying to drive the
5:20 am
conversation in your party to how do we have security and reasonable reform of i.c.e. and other agencies? that and correct me if i'm wrong and characterizing it but that seems a lot more reasonable than senators coming out saying let's get rid of this agency that protects us. >> well this agency doesn't protect us. its been running amuck for a long time and it's very understandable after this last crisis why people want to abolish it. people have sincere questions about whether it can be reformed but i do think what we need to do is head toward comprehensive immigration reform and couple our call for abolishing i.c.e. with our reaffirmation of what we need for security. ed: i've got it but the outstanding question is how will you have that security you're talking about without an agency like i.c.e. maybe they will reform somebody new to come in we'll say in the days ahead thanks for your insight. >> thank you very much. ed: former president obama meanwhile backing nancy pelosi's potential return to speaker. dan bongino says no way he's fired up and wants to weigh in

5:26 am
officer joining us to explain and just to follow-up on this segment we just had, i have great respect for her so i don't want to trash her after she's on but it seems to me she was trying if you heard it to have it both ways and say we need to abolish i.c.e. but deputies need to find a better message where they talk about abolishing i.c.e. is a good idea we don't really know what's going to replace it. it doesn't really seem to make sense. what are you going to do to protect the country? >> yeah, i mean, calls to abolish i.c.e., ed, will lead to the abolishment of the democrat party. i mean, this has been, you and i have had this conversation on the show before. this is a gift of donald trump. i sincerely mean this. he has this unique ability to provoke a political over reaction by the democrats and i want to be clear on this. not in ideological overreaction. this is who the democrats have been for 20 years, folks, make no mistake. they've been about open borders, they've been about high taxes,
5:27 am
big government, government- controlled healthcare this is who the democrats are. they've just been really good at politically hiding it making themselves look like a more moderate party. the gift of trump has been to provoke a political overreaction where their political tactics have gone out the window and they are competing for each other for who can have the most radical position to see more anti-trump and that's where this outrageous abolished i.c.e. position comes from. this will not resonate anywhere outside of the coast. abby: dick durbin is joining that list from the leading democrats on the hill calls the complete agency of i.c.e. calls them incompetent. what worries me, dan, is the morale. you look at these folks that sign up to serve this country, serving as border patrol agents serving with i.c.e., they give their life to help protect this country they are doing what is being told from the very top and the way they're being treated right now the way they're being talked about i think that is something we should all stand up

and say we should not stand for this. >> you know abbey when i was a secret service agent back then it was u.s. customs, and i can tell you with a pure heart that they were some of the best agents i've ever worked with federal agents and officers of the government. if you needed help in tracking down someone whose here and committed a crime say it was a crime the secret service had perview over, counterfeiting, credit card fraud and they happened to be in the country illegally, there was no better group of people to go to. they were terrific and to talk about them as if there's some kind of a drain on our society, to make comparisons to a terrorist group, i mean again this isn't a fringe position. this is a fringe of a fringe position that should be renounced by anyone looking to maintain political credibility or a heart for that matter. dean: it certainly hurts those law enforcement agents to hear them spoken about in those terms it's shocking, but dan, obama, president obama, former president obama backs nancy
5:29 am
pelosi's potential return to speaker. as new polls show her favorability ratings fall to a nine-year low among democrats what do you say to that? >> you know, i'm going to shock you all a bit. obama is right. listen, nancy pelosi is apple's ing and a curse, right? the blessing with nancy pelosi for the democrats, not for us, is she's great at whipping votes she just is. the obamacare, the massive expansion of government, the stimulus under obama, you can thank nancy pelosi. it's not surprising obama would want her back but the curse part for the democrats with nancy pelosi is she simply cannot keep her foot out of her mouth. the crumbs comment. she says things that are utterly ridiculous and politically hurt the democrats at the same time, but i completely understand why barack obama would want a political tactics like her back in that position. she's really good at winning votes and keeping them in line. look the tax cut plan, guys there was not one democrat vote. the republicans can't even seem to agree on cutting government
5:30 am
spending outside of the freedom caucus so she does her job well. she just says sometimes things that are, you know? not good for the party. abby: she doesn't always read the reports either with healthcare she's like let's vote on it and then agree what's in it to better understand it. >> right afterwards and then talk about crumbs later on which doesn't do the party any good. ed: dan bongino, appreciate you coming in. abby: thank you, dan. >> you got it guys. abby: well many people looking to the appointment of supreme court justice anthony kennedy's successor to address abortion but during this past term there have been a number of supreme court cases involving religion so how does the high court handle that topic? our religion panel is here to weigh in on that, next. dean: that'll be interesting plus a vacation turns deadly a tour boat with americans on it erupting into flames within the bahamas. ed: wow. with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish.
5:31 am
5:34 am
ed: big news this week as supreme court justice anthony kennedy announced retirement plans and democrats immediately focused on what that means for roe v. wade. >> wanted to access to safe, legal abortions, on the line. >> this is a line that's been drawn about whether we are going to criminalize women, whether we are going to be arresting women for making decisions about their
5:35 am
bodies. ed: during this past term the supreme court dealt with many issues involving religion including the president's travel ban and then a case involving prayer during county meetings, and the high court also ruled that a christian baker did not have to bake a cake for a same sex wedding. here to weigh in on those cases and what we might see in the future and involving religious freedom we turn to our religion panel, president of the islamic forum for democracy, father jonathan morris a fox news religion contributor of course and president of live action i want to start with you father jonathan. what do you think when you see some democrats immediately saying before the president's picked anyone, this notion that all of a sudden women are going to be thrown in jail being kim allized over their bodies? >> well obviously i think that's an exam exaggeration because i think they should be afraid of a change in the supreme court if they are for abortion because we know on
5:36 am
both sides that roe v. wade was bad constitutional law and secondly especially among younger generations the tide has shifted away from seeing that abortion is just a medical procedure and we now very clearly know that this is a baby , and so i think they also reunderstandably afraid. ed: i want to talk to you about the travel ban because the supreme court ruled there was not bias against muslims the president had started out talking about wanting to crack crackdown on read it call islam but it went through three different iterations and by the end was actually a small fraction of muslims around the world targeted and the court ended upsiding with him. what's the significance? >> well i think the significance is thank god the opinions weren't the majority. you read that and it was really a testimony to activists, a judiciary and in fact thankfully the majority proved that the president will be held thible to the rule of law and what he
5:37 am
writes in his executive orders rather than a few comments he might make on the campaign trail and it makes me fearful for what could have happened had we not had a president trump picking conservative judges that will adhere to the original intent of the constitution which is to hold to the rule of law rather than to have activist judges, because you know ed, it's irrational that a president would prohibit travel from certain countries that might be muslim majority and we basically in a collective identity policy say oh, that's anti-muslim when in fact i'll tell you there's nothing more pro-muslim than preventing terror groups than preventing islamists with ideologies that would be american from coming in, so to identify that as being anti- religious that somehow an entire country becomes identified with its religious identity is absurd when you have 50 muslim countries aren't even on that list. ed: professor under-the-radar the court didn't get as much extent as some of the other cases and declined to take a case about prayer at meetings
5:38 am
keeping a lower court ruling that it's unconstitutional but can't you also pray obviously to a higher power you do it on your own. >> that's a wonderful question, and we understand that the highest the closest to the constitution is separation of church and state, no god in government, but as a trauma therapist and as a teacher of religion and jewish religion in particular, we all know that this is a world filled with tremendous trauma and i see folks who are traumatized on a daily basis we watch the news and we see so much in the world that requires a faith in a higher power. it does not necessarily matter what we call that faith, that power, whether it's the god of moses and abraham or jesus or buddha, what's important is that we recognize that we're not alone in this universe and we heal better when we have faith in something that can take us to a better place. ed: lyla, what do you think about the christian baker case saying basically the baker
5:39 am
doesn't have to bake a cake for a gay wedding and the baker was saying i'm not discriminating against homosexuals they can come in and shop and buy things but i don't want to design a cake for a gay wedding because i'm personally opposed. >> i think the court was right to protect the baker, jack phillips, freedom. his religious belief that marriage is between a man and a woman. that's a belief that's held dear ly, it's natural marriage by major world religions and something that jack was brave to say i'm not going to use my artist are as a cake maker to design a custom wedding cake for a ceremony that i do not agree with because of my religion and because of what i believe about natural marriage and the court did the right thing to protect him against the bullying that he experienced by the colorado civil rights commission. ed: father jonathan how do you balance that as a catholic leader? i mean obviously i'm catholic and we hear on immigration for example, the church wants to be welcoming to people. i assume the church also wants to enforce the laws in this
5:40 am
country in the case of the baker , you want people to have religious freedom, but you also don't want people in this country to feel like they're being discriminated against that would not be the christian way either. >> i think it's always a balance like you said, but a very simple principle is that we do not want to be imposing as a country imposing our religion on anyone, imposing religious beliefs or practice on another. that's where the constitution says that's what the separation of church and state is, but religious freedom means that we have to allow other people to live it and that is sometimes uncomfortable, but that's what our constitution is. that's what's made really the american experiment as wonderful and as beautiful as it is. we do not impose religion. we do not establish one religion over the other but we allow people to live freely. ed: your thoughts on that? >> absolutely religious liberty is what makes america what we are and why i think we have a much stronger position against radical islam and all the other
5:41 am
infiltrations. the left hipocracy of using muslims as a minority for identity policies and then rejecting that first freedom of religious liberty exposes their hipocracy and rejects the founding fathers intent of who we are as americans. ed: professor what do you think about this issue that popped up and the president talked about it with maria bartiromo about there not being a litmus test on roe v. wade? >> i think that we have to remember as a jewish philosopher , i actually say to all my students that we are made in the image of god and that therefore that god is inside of each and every one of us so not having a litmus test on roe v. wade what we need to do is recognize that the god is inside of each and every one of us. ed: lyla, 30 seconds for you obviously the only woman on the panel i started this conversation talking about democrats saying what's going to happen is roe v. wade will be
5:42 am
overturned and women will see the criminal station of their bodies. what do you say to that? >> roe v. wade does no favor to women. it was poorly decided and refused to recognize life in the womb and pitted mothers against their children and has created 60 million deaths by abortion in this country since, and the pain that women and fathers have experienced, so i think i look forward to an appointment by the president of a justice that would protect human rights in the womb and understand and see that life, the protection of human life is something that our constitution would uphold. ed: we've got just about everybody included on this sunday morning we appreciate all of your insights. thank you. ed: meanwhile another big story house intel chair devon nunes wants more than a dozen fbi and doj officials to testify about alleged fisa abuse. our next guest says robert mueller needs to be in the hot seat as well. tom fitton will explain the details next, and is the interview already getting a lot

5:47 am
morning? >> mueller's operation is one of the most secretive i can remember, i've been doing this for 20 years and it's difficult to get basic information about what he's been up to and it's not just the normal special counsel operation. it was in my view corruptly conceived with a leak by james comey to the new york times that comey admitted was designed to get a special counsel appointed and now we know the russia investigation had these corrupt origins with this fbi bias and peter strzok wanting to stop the president, this clinton dnc dossier he talks about which were withheld from the fisa court and then on top of that once it became public that strzok had anti-trump bias mueller removed him from his operation four months before the public knew about it, so i think that it's fair to ask mr. mueller what it is he's doing, why is it, are there any concerns he had about the way the investigation was setup, were there any concerns he had about strzok's bias and what about the bias of his own team,
5:48 am
why can't he find any registered republicans that work on his team to reassure the american people that at least there's no bias there. abby: a lot of good questions and the frustration continues to heat up on the hill, as you know , for members who are continuing to ask the doj and the fbi to hand over documents especially those early days of this russia investigation. here is a statement from the doj they say doj officials tell fox news they have informed hp sei and ssci, their members and cleared staff can view the documents and the doj recently provided to the gang of eight related to the russia investigation, nunes has been pushing for these to be provided to all hp sei members instead of just the gang of eight. so they're saying look we're giving more information over but they're still upset about the timing why are we getting these documents faster and why aren't more people able to see them. >> well those are the people who can read them but can't talk about them. when you limit them to the gang of eight it's i would presume classified and when they're over
5:49 am
ly classifying information, it prevents that information from getting out to the american people. look, the justice department and the fbi have a dog in the fight they want to protect the mueller investigation i don't think they can be trusted to fairly investment whether documents are released about that investigation was setup the targeting of president trump during the obama administration so congress is right to push back on the documents. we're suing for these same documents in federal court so maybe the federal courts will intervene and i encourage always the president to step in and release the documents. he has the ultimate right and authority to get them out there. ed: tom fitton a story that continues to heat up. abby: a long road ahead it sounds like. dean: seattle police officers are leaving the force in big numbers many reportedly citing frustrations over the cities politics. we'll talk to a frustrated officer next hour. abby: and he was a guest on this show so many times. master sargent mark evans started an incredible program

6:02 am
here's what he had to say back to you. >> 28-year-old socialist says abolish i.c.e. and get this more democrats are getting in line with that. christian gillibrand today saying we need to abolish i.c.e. >> i hope they will keep thinking about it because they will get beaten so badly. these are the guys that go in and make ms 13 and they take them out because they are much tougher than ms 13 by like a factor of 10. you get rid of i.c.e., you are going to have a country that you will be afraid to walk out of your house. i love that issue if they are going to actually do that. >> maria, you can boil that answer down to three words. bring it on. >> exactly. this issue has become so crazed. the skeptics and the detractors of this president calling to abolish i.c.e. we all know that we want immigration enforcement. it's absolutely outrageous that you would actually take from what has -- taken place at the border to actually just completely abolish i.c.e., it's an indication of how far left
6:03 am
the actual democratic party has gone. then you can see that from the recent win in new york. they really -- it really has been hijacked by the extremes. >> you want to get rid of it, then what? that's the big question. >> the president signed an executive order to make sure not to separate children from their families. that's out there. >> you don't hear about that much. >> all you hear about is abolish i.c.e. by the left. i think this is also what he says important to remember going into the november elections, because if that i do just continue resist, resist, resist, let's abolish law and foorder - ord order -- >> by the way, the president said i want to protect law enforcement and the folks who are doing their jobs, but the leadership like james comey lost their way and became political. flip it around on i.c.e., you have democratic leaders going after federal agents at i.c.e. and calling them yes, incompetent. here's dick durbin.
6:04 am
>> look at i.c.e., what a group of incompetents, at this point they are focused more on toddlers than terrorists. instead of deporting felons, they want to deport families that are being persecuted by criminal gangs instead of focusing on bad drugs coming in and dirty drug money from going out they are focusing on separating kids from their families. it is to time to put an end to this cruel and incompetent policy >> this is an agency that was created after 9/11 to go after terrorists. >> they work so hard protecting this country and enforcing legal immigration. you made such a good analogy to the fbi. that's exactly right. right now you know what's taken place in the 2016 election. you saw the incredible bias. we know what happened. the american people are not stupid and yet they tried to turn the president calling that out into him insulting all of the agents, which wasn't the case at all. so again, i think this is going to be an issue that comes up during the election. voters will remember it.
6:05 am
and unless the left starts respecting the law and order, i think voters get upset. i think people want borders and they want certainly enforcement of legal immigration. we will see. abby: they want safety. what a week to sit down with the president. so much happened last week. immigration was just part of it. then you had the supreme court news. anthony kennedy announcing his retirement. now the big question is who will they pick to replace him? you asked the president about that and specifically on the issue of roe versus wade. here's what he said. >> are you going to ask your nominees beforehand how they might vote on roe versus wade? >> that's a big one and probably not. they are all saying don't do that. you don't do that. you shouldn't do that. but i'm putting conservative people on. and i'm very proud of neil gorsuch, he has been outstanding. his opinions are, you know, so well written, so brilliant, and i'm going to try and do something like that, but i don't think i'm going to be so
6:06 am
specific. >> on the campaign trail, the president talked about roe v. wade, and we know that one of the reasons that this president was so popular with a big mass of people is because they believed he would make changes to the supreme court as well as federal judges. he's getting a lot of high marks on his picks for the supreme court, obviously gorsuch, and the federal judges across the board. yesterday i asked him about what it would mean for the states, you know, during the campaign trail, he said look, maybe, leave it to the states, it's probably going to be left to the states, he really was very careful in terms of his wording on this. he recognizes this is a lightning bolt issue, and he just said it, he's not going to ask his nominees how they feel about roe v. wade, so all of this hysteria when kennedy first announced, is i think a little overdone. abby: leonard leo obviously advises the president, an outside advisor to trump on judicial selections.
6:07 am
he was on fox news sunday i think this morning and here's what he said about the issue of roe v. wade. >> the fact of the matter is that roe v. wade is a very major precedent in america. and for 36 years people have been talking about it being overturned. it was an issue with sandra o'connor, david suitor, anthony kennedy, all of whom people said would overturn roe v. wade. no president is particularly good about speculating about this thing and nobody is. so i don't think at the end of the day, it's about roe v. wade. it's about -- it's about having judges on the court who are going to interpret the constitution the way it is written. and part of interpreting the constitution is taking into account major precedence and that's going to happen. >> people are really going to make it about roe v. wade, if they can. >> they are going to make anything they can about anything they want to make it about, that they think is going to be a fiery issue for the public >> that's a fiery one. >> attend of the day -- at the end of the day, all of this is about president trump and all of this is about the left wants and
6:08 am
desires to get him out. you saw maxine waters yesterday just basically say impeach again. they are all about resist. that's going to hurt them. i feel like most people i know, most people in the country, in america, are sort of hanging out in the middle. you might lean to the right on some issues and lean to the left on other issues but you are hanging out in the middle. that's what this president has done. that's why he has support on the right and on the left. >> he's moving this way, he's moving that way. >> exactly. he did say he's going to do this quickly. another question i asked him in regard to that story was are you going to be able to put your nominee in place before the midterm elections? because you know, this is going to be one of the most consequential midterm elections that we have seen ever, and he said yeah we're going to do it quickly. he said july 9th. i suspect he will get some democratic folks. >> so much going on that we have spent 7, 8 minutes talking about the interview. we haven't gotten to your specialty which is the economy. let's do that. people are dying to know what he
6:09 am
said about taxes. here's what he said. >> are you looking for phase 2 tax breaks? >> we will be doing a phase 2, probably in october, maybe sooner than. that it will be more of a middle class. one of the things we're thinking about bringing the 21% down to 20, the rest of it will go towards the middle class. >> he says he wants it done by october, is that realistic? and nancy pelosi said i want to take away phase 1 and schumer likely to block anything. or are they hoping that they will have to let phase 2 go through? >> whatever happens, if you do this and bring up this conversation, september, october, that's obviously very strategic, right before the midterm elections. so i don't know that they could actually get it done, a new phase 2 tax plan before november, but just having that conversation, the president says look, we're going to try to get
6:10 am
something on the books by october so that conversation is alive. bringing the corporate rate down from 21 to 20 percent would be a positive. the corporate rate coming down from 35 to 21 percent did unleash animal spirits but even more significant out of this white house is the president's rollback in regulation. when president obama was in place, the number of federal registry pages was up to 97,000. that is equivalent to 15 king james bibles. okay? then he came in and he said started rolling back regulations, eliminating the red tape. jamie dimon, ceo of jp morgan chase he said i wanted to make an investment in the bridge that connects staten island to new jersey he said i wasn't going to get -- they said we can't do this until 13 years. 13 years it was going to take. why would anyone invest in infrastructure if it is going -- you are not going to get a return for 13 years? rolling back that regulation was critical. i think they will be having this conversation, talking about it, trying to move something forward
6:11 am
in october. i don't know if -- >> there's another point where the president talks about opec and oil prices? >> do you think somebody is manipulating this market -- >> 100% opec is and they better stop it because we're protecting many of those countries. opec is manipulating, and you know they allowed less than we thought last week. they have to put out another 2 million barrels in my opinion because we don't want that happening. don't forget the one negative to the iran deal is you're going to lose a lot of oil and they have got to make up for it. who is their big enemy? iran. okay? you think of it. iran is their big -- they are going to have to do it. i have a very good relationship with the king and with the crown prince of saudi arabia and the others around, and they will to put out more oil. >> breaking news yesterday with saudi arabia. >> right after the president said that saudi arabia comes out and says they will be pumping out more oil. >> they didn't say the exact
6:12 am
number. the exact number was a little bit questionable, but yeah immediately. >> also got into iran and north korea, a lot of domestic issues as well. we had a great interview. i'm looking forward to it in about 45 minutes you will see it. abby: did you ask about trade and the concerns about how well the economy is doing and how people feel unsettled if we do have a trade war, what that will mean for our economy? >> we did talk about trade. the most important issues in terms of economic growth and where things go. the president was very clear and he was clear when he first took office, three pillars to his economic strategy, lowering taxes, rolling back regulation and changing trade deals. he is insisting on changing these trade deals to make it more fair, reciprocal trade. somebody said to me in order to make some scrambled eggs, sometimes you have to break some eggs. that's the way it is. we are going to have a period where there's a lot of uncertainty. he's in negotiation mode. >> it is sunday morning. nobody breaks eggs better than maria bartiromo.
6:13 am
>> looking forward to that. abby: you can see the full interview sunday morning futures at 10:00 a.m. thank you. >> thank you very much. ed: this weekend's nationwide immigration protests come more than a year after the woman's march dominated headlines. what ever came of those marchs? will this movement see the same results? tammy bruce is here to weigh in. is this really about antitrump marches? not about specific issues. we will talk about it. do you know why we celebrate independence day? sadly not everyone does. >> why do we celebrate the 4th of july? >> um -- >> what's the significance of 1776? >> christopher columbus.

since that notorious women's march in d.c., liberal activists and celebrities taking on the streets once again this time over immigration policies. but whatever became of the women's march, and will the same thing happen here? fox contributor tammy bruce joins us now to react. >> you all remember those women's marches. we were here reporting on it as they were going on. what did come of those? >> you know, at this point, apparently only an ad for the republican party for the g.o.p. you know, you had madonna calling for the bombing of the white house effectively. and it really there was no cohesive message, if you will. it was really just against trump. and that's fine. look, i come from the left. i like organizing. i think there's power in organizing. and that's great. but when we were doing it, i think the case is still the situation here, where you're looking to get enthusiasm and to get e-mails and to raise money. that's what you are seeing. i think that obviously most americans when they elected trump, it was about policy. it was about it's enough about
6:18 am
emotions and marches and/or riots, you know, rage, this is about what are we going to do to get the future fixed? not just for the republicans, but for everyone. we've seen that now unfold for the american people. lowest unemployment rate for women in history, for hispanics, for blacks, tax cuts, etc., this is what we see for the future of ourselves and our family. and if the democrats are going to move into that framework, it needs to be more than about rage and about generic marches or even marches on issues -- look, women's issues are important to everyone; right? but women's issues are everyone's issues. the same with the border, the issue of families, what we do for national security, so even the current issues matter to all of us. abby: and be clear about solutions that you think can help move us forward. >> that's right. abby: these protests, you are exactly right it is what makes this country great. we're able to get out on the streets and talk and scream about things that we're passionate about. that is wonderful. we should always support that.
6:19 am
i looked at the marches yesterday on immigration and at the core of it, though, is this hatred as you are saying for president trump. because a lot of what we are dealing with today and the challenges that we see, we saw under former president obama. where was the anger then? where were the protests at that point? >> that's what tells you the core of what is happening here. this is about -- and i think there's a couple of poll numbers that tell you what maybe frightened the democratic party into feeling they needed to do this. in the last month, according to a pollster, previously for president clinton's administration, for harvard harris came out and showed in the last month that the support for the president by hispanics rose 10 points. it rose amongst democrats by 4 points. so they are looking for an issue that might generate enthusiasm for the midterm elections. but interestingly, when it comes to even this issue, the american people aren't being moved by this argument. the abolish i.c.e. argument is an example.
6:20 am
69% of the american people are against that idea. and that includes 59% of the democrats. so this is i think trying to find an issue that really all americans actually agree with already, which is keeping families together, but it is more about being compassionate and securing the border, while the president's approval ratings have stayed steady in the midst of all of this as well. abby: it seems a real disconnect at times with what the celebrities are preaching out there and these protests and what many americans actually feel in this -- >> it is politics and not policy that they are moving and that's not a winner. abby: important point. thank you for being here. happy sunday. seattle police officers are leaving the force in big numbers many of them frustrated over the city's politics. we will talk to one of those frustrated cops coming up next. plus, who would do such a thing? thieves draining the bank account of the oldest man in the u.s., 112-year-old world war ii veteran. we all know he's a patriot. we're going to tell you how you can help this man, coming up.

6:25 am
antifascist pelting eggs, water bottles and even firecrackers. several arrests were made. the conservative group was marching in support of its founder joey gibson who is now running for u.s. senate. ed: seattle police officers are fleeing the force right now many of them reportedly frustrated with the city's politics. dean: some young patrol officers don't feel appreciated. our next guest calls this a mass exodus that could affect safety. ed: here with insight vice president of the seattle police officer's guild rich o'neill. we appreciate you coming in and appreciate your service. >> great thanks for having me. ed: how much of this is normal retirement, lack of retention, people rotating out of the force and how much of this is a deep frustration that they are either being disrespected or they are just upset about the politics there in seattle? >> well, you know, we've always had officers leave for retirement. that's normal. it is called normal attrition.
6:26 am
but in my 38 years, i have never seen anything like what we're seeing right now. that is young officers, you know, experienced officers, you know, 3 to 10 years on, they are kind of just hitting their stride, and they're leaving, and they are leaving for other local agencies who are luring them away because they are fed up with the politics, with the conditions, and with the lack of support. and it's just a number of issues that are just weighing down on them. as we talked to them, they just said we're fed up. dean: they are not saying they are leaving law enforcement they just don't want to do it there where they are not appreciated by their city council or other political members. they also havent gotten a raise in four years but the city council has given themselves a raise and some other politicians have. >> they are working out without a contract. haven't had a raise in over four years. but the city of seattle is booming. the economy is booming, you know, with all of the -- we've had an explosion of population, and yet the number of officers
6:27 am
on the street are pretty much the same as the 1970s which is just alarming. but, you know, these officers see more and more money being thrown into social programs, and the conditions on the street are things that i haven't seen in my 38 years. ed: so the police department will not surprise you we reached out to them and they say it is not a mass exodus, it is normal attrition as we spoke about a moment ago, you obviously disagree with that, but talk about the stakes you believe for people in a city like seattle and whether this could happen in other cities if local politicians are playing politics and officers start fleeing. >> well, you know, seattle is a beautiful city. you know, the mountains and the water, and i've just seen a change, and i have never seen the conditions like they are on the streets. we have encampments. we have tents. we have open air drug markets in many neighborhoods. just recently, our firefighters have complained to city leaders that it's getting dangerous for them, that they go into some of these encampments and they are
6:28 am
assaulted. it's just -- it's a same what's happened. >> are these encampments of homeless people? we have seen this in parts of california, san francisco, in particular, just disgusting conditions in the street. what's happening in these encampments so we understand the context? >> well, it is just like lawlessness. i mean these are many people who as our officers encounter them, they don't want shelter, they don't want help. you know, they want to live there where they can have their guns and their drugs and their needles and just not be bothered, but they are, you know, bothering a lot of citizens and even attacking some of our firefighters, and of course our police officers have to go in like you say the disgusting conditions. >> first responders shouldn't have to deal with that. >> they shouldn't, neither should law enforcement not be appreciated. when you are in trouble, you will call law enforcement. i joined myself as a reserve police officer in idaho. i support or men and women and i know how important that morale
6:29 am
is for them. they are reacting with their feet, are they not? >> absolutely. they are leaving. it is very hard nowadays to find people who want to be police officers with all the anti-police rhetoric that's out there. and, you know, the economy is very great. unemployment is low. so it's difficult to find officers, and when you get a good candidate, and they become a police officer, and you just like i said they are hitting their stride in years 3 to 10, and now they are leaving for other agencies, it makes it unsafe because less officers on the street make it unsafe for the public. ed: we appreciate you standing up for the men and women in blue. >> my pleasure. ed: in just days the president will nominate his pick to replace supreme court justice kennedy. his first pick was to replace the late justice scalia. one of his sons christopher is here to discuss the president's next nomination. dean: we are taking barbecue to the next level with a smoker on

6:35 am
dean: i'm a history major. it hurts my feelings tremendously. abby: at princeton. dean: i was there a couple decades before. i'm much older than pete. ed: elitist. abby: keep sending us your thoughts on that. headlines, the left calling to abolish i.c.e. as massive protests erupt across the nation. one top senate democrat taking it one step further senator dick durbin insulting the agency as incompetent. >> look at i.c.e. what a group of incompetents. at this point they are focused more on toddlers than terrorists. abby: -- was in charge of i.c.e. homeland security investigations in san antonio and he joined us earlier on the show. here's what he had to say. >> he could get a mouth full of what i.c.e. and hsi does. i think it is irresponsible considering that these agents place their lives. we have agents that have lost
6:36 am
their lives in the performance of their duties. abby: san francisco new york and chicago were among several major cities holding the rallies. a factory worker is accused of killing 21 coworkers by poisoning their food. german police believe that the 56-year-old man laced their lunch with poison over the last 18 years. many of the victims dying of heart attacks and cancer, likely caused by the toxic substance. one employee has been in a coma now for two years. the suspected killer was finally caught after officials looked at security footage when another coworker noticed the powdered substance on his food. unbelievable story. a tour boat explosion claims a life at sea in the bahamas. the blast sending six plumes of smoke pouring into the sky. the charter was carrying 12 people including 10 americans. nine of them were injured.

6:45 am
president trump set to name his supreme court nominee to replace justice anthony kennedy on july 9th. this will be his second supreme court pick to the first neil gorsuch was named to replace the late justice antonin scalia. ed: he served nearly 30 years nominated by president reagan in 86 when his son christopher was just 10 years old. christopher is all grown up. he went on to edit his father's book "scalia speaks". he joins us now. good morning mr. scalia. >> good morning. thank you for the compliment. it is nice to be called a grown up. >> we all pretend. >> we know you have a large family. everyone still misses justice scalia. we want you to know that his legacy still burns bright. we are wondering what you think about the president's pick? >> thank you very much for those kind words. for the president's pick, i'm confident that based on his court picks so far, of the lower federal courts, as well as justice gorsuch, he's going to pick somebody who interprets laws and the constitution as
6:46 am
they were written, as they were understood at the time of their passage, rather than according to their own policy preferences. i think that's the really important point that my father came back to again and again, including in his speeches, that judges aren't there to say what the law should be, but what the law actually is, as it was -- as they were passed. abby: yeah, this is obviously an emotional thing for any family to go through. you are one of the few that had to experience this with your own family. walk us through as the president's deciding his pick, and whoever that ends up being, what that family will experience in this process. it is a huge job, the most important job as a judge you can do in this country. help people understand what that means for a family. >> well, it's chaotic, certainly. i would -- as you said, i was only so years old when it happened -- 10 years old when it happened. i didn't really know what was going on. i just knew that dad was on the tv all of a sudden and there were a lot of cameras outside my house all of a sudden waiting for him to come home. you know, it was a whirlwind.
6:47 am
it was exciting but i didn't really understand what it meant until i was a little bit older. but you know, for whichever family goes through this, i would recommend that they be prepared to, you know, smile when the cameras are on them and be prepared to, you know, hear some nasty things said about your mother, your father that usually are not going to be true. abby: your dad was 97 to 0, i'm not sure that would be the case this time. >> 98 to 0, don't sell him short. yeah. >> 98. >> this is something i don't think would happen today. he knew that very well. he used to explain that confirmation hearings have gotten so much more intense now because the public unfortunately expects different things from judges than they really should. judges aren't supposed to as i said earlier determine what the best law is. that wasn't their role. alexander hamilton in the federalist papers warned that once the judiciary becomes blended with the other branches, liberty is threatened.
6:48 am
that's why we see confirmation battles being so heated now because the role of judges has been confused a little bit. ed: liberty is a word that sums up what your father fought his whole career for. on behalf of all the american people, very nice to talk to you on the eve of the 4th of july because like i said at the top, his legacy burns bright. i was right. i said he's all grown up. you proved that. you did a great job. appreciate having you on. >> thank you very much. abby: up next a proud american tradition ahead of independence day. >> we sent todd out to get an inside look of a flag company right here in the old usa. [music playing] [beep] [beep] [beep] our members shop a little differently. so we reward every purchase.

dean: president trump making national pride a focal point even hosting a made in america showcase at the white house. ed: one of the businesses features at the white house was virginia's national capitol flag company which proudly makes the american flag and has done that for over 50 years. abby: we got a behind the scenes look with a look at how a flag was made. a great thing to check out >> so amazing guys. the national capitol flag company makes flags of every size shape and color, but most importantly they are made right here in america. >> we're here at the national capitol flag company to find out how to make a flag. it's not just old glory that you make here. you make a lot of flags for a lot of different organizations.
6:53 am
>> what we do, we embroider flags for anybody actually. >> what was it like to get that call from president trump that you, your company one of the 50 companies recognized as a made in america company? >> i was honored. got the call basically said we would like to have you come in and represent virginia in made in america. when the president came by, he looked at our flags and shook his hand and said nice job. >> we're here at the national capital flag company, joined by elizabeth. elizabeth, simple question, how do you make a flag? >> well, for our embroidered flags starts off in the art department. the design goes over to the machine. >> so it is not all machines, there's a key part of the process that requires good old american workers. >> once they come off the machine, that's first step. she's going to come up here and trim along the blue as well. >> flags are one of those things
6:54 am
that you see flying all the time, but i don't think anybody stopped to think about what it takes to make it. >> it's a pretty complicated process. >> it is. and we're very good at it. it looks so simple, though, when you see it. all you are is just impressed by it. i think if you don't know about the process. it is all these little bits of effort, you know, going on, all along the process that's contributing to the final finished product. >> chances are somebody watching tv at home, they have watched a little bit of history. they've probably seen one of your flags. >> the other day when president trump had the king of jordan in, those jordan flags behind him, we made those. during the north korean summit, we made some of the flags that were there. >> what does made in america mean to you? >> made in america to me means jobs for myself and the other 17 employees here and also the pride that we know we've done it with our own hands. >> why is it so important for the average american just sitting at home to try at all costs to buy american? >> the symbol of our country and they want to make sure it is
6:55 am
made in america. and that goes for -- i drive an american car, clothes, as much as you can, it is important. >> we've seen the american flag at so many proud american moments. last couple of weeks, there's a lot of divisiveness in our country right now. you make flags. do you see the flag sort of rising above all that and being the symbol we can all unite behind once again? >> i do. when people come in here, we don't ask their political leanings. we don't even talk politics. we just talk about the flag. the flag itself rises above all of that. >> couldn't say that better myself. what's interesting about the owner al there, he was a firefighter and worked part time at this flag company, but over the course of time, ended up becoming full time there, buying it, taking it over. he went from one aspect of being a real patriot as a firefighter to now being a patriot making flags. >> nice american story. you know what i mean? >> it's amazing. they made fox & friends a special surprise that you are going to announce on the show on the 4th of july on wednesday.
6:56 am
>> there's the video of us picking aulg the -- picking all the colors and shapes. we will have it on set on wednesday. can't wait. abby: what a great piece. thank you for bringing that to us. >> dean cain, would you like to read the inscription? dean: i'm a super man.
