stand right now. steve: as maria just pointed out the 28-year-old who just won new york 14 beating joe crowley, her message was get rid of ice. there have been a number of very ambitious democrats who obviously are going to run for president in 2020 against donald trump saying get rid of ice. here's the problem. democrats who can take a step back and look at whether or not it is a political winner, message wise, are saying, you know what? maybe not so fast. because the worry is it will make the party look weak on security which is a key for swing voters, that's why over the weekend you saw starkly, a division between the accomplish ice and the hold on, maybe that's not such a good idea right now. listen. >> abolishing ice already accomplish nothing unless we change the trump policies this administration is

here. as you said at the beginning of this segment, i mean, what is it going to take to bring civility back? i think this is an opportunity for democrats not to necessarily play into the hand of divisiveness. but, rather, be the adult in the room. when maxine waters is insighting this kind of rhetoric and i respect the fact that, again, people are very passionate about the issues right now. but we would be better served on doing things like focusing on the merits of the supreme court nominees, rather than stirring the pot and, you know, getting all fired up and distracting the debate away from the core messages and into this more divisive culture. i don't think it's the way forward. steve: all right. richard? >> i tend to agree with that the only distinction i would make is you can't look at maxine waters in a vacuum. she lives in the world of donald trump. remember, there is 435 members of congress and one president. over and over again we have seen candidate trump and president trump engage in rhetoric that is quote, unquote, uncivil. we saw at rallies where he told people to punch people

in the face and he would pay the legal bills. we are seeing now every time he gets on twitter he bull notice somebody. we are in a culture of bullying on both sides. the president is just as responsible like democrats in congress. >> which is exactly the a problem though. that's the thing. we don't have the high ground to basically say president trump is wrong if we are engaging in the same kind of behavior. that's where i think i differ with you there. steve: okay. let's talk a little bit about the former president of the united states. he is quote quoted in politico,i believe, apparently in the last week or so at a fundraiser. he said nancy, meaning nancy pelosi is one of the greatest speakers we ever had and will once again be one of the greatest speakers we ever have after we get through this cycle. so, apparently, richard, is he throwing his support behind nancy pelosi for her to return to speaker of the house. do you think that's good? because she has become, you look at the poles, she has become a polarizing figure. >> just like the president,

steve, right? with that being said, here's the thing. nancy pelosi is the current minority leader of the democrats which makes her the likely majority leader or the speaker of the house unless something changes. and i think what the president -- what president obama is trying to do here is campaign for other candidates. running 435 different races all across the country. no none of those races are connected to nancy pelosi. they are connected to the issues in those local districts and that's it. i think what republicans want to do and president trump wants to do is connect this party to nancy pelosi. you don't have to do that, because you look all across this country thrill and see 435 unique races with unique issues. steve: right. but, capri, we have got a gallup poll from a couple weeks ago and it shows that her favorability can democrats is at 55%. independents it's at 22%. you know, you need a lot of independents. particularly if she is the face, you know, of primary face of the party. >> you know, nancy pelosi has always been a lightning

rod if you go all the way back to the 2010 cycle. there were a lot of races where people were running against nancy pelosi all across the country in the midterm elections. so she stands for this sort of coastal elite situation. and that's why you see a lot of candidates in the midwest, in my part of the country that are distancing themselves and trying to be unique. president obama, is he right in the sense that nancy pelosi was very effective. and in his corner to be able to deliver the votes necessary to pass the affordable care act. does that make her the future of the democratic party, even the "new york times" has had an editorial out just in the past few days saying we need to move on. we need fresh blood in the democratic party. steve: we're going to switch topics, richard and capri. because there are so many democrats now saying we should abolish ice. the worry is that makes the democrat party look weak on security which is a key for swing voters is that abolish ice, richard, a loser for a

message or a winner? >> it depends, i think on like i said we are running 435 races here. and overall i think it's a winner for democrats because allow them to expand the base there are a lot of angry people across the country about what took place at the border. 2,000 kids don't have their parents right now. saw 600 rallies coast to coast where millions of americans took to the streets and said this is not okay. this is unamerican. and the poster child for this happens to be ice. and that is why we are having this conversation today. steve: capri, you get the final bite of the apple is it a loser or a winner for democrats? >> the situation at the children at the border being separated from heir families is abhorrent in my view. abolishing ice is not going to solve that problem. we need to change policies in order to make things actually improve. having some sort of symbolic sacrificial lamb is not actually a solution it's political games manship, reform is important. no different than how president trump has been

concerned about the fbi, you need to be able to perform rather than just liberal. steve: all right. let's see what happens. richard and capri thank you both for joining us. >> nice to see you. >> thank you. steve: what do you think so? let us know "fox friends@foxnews.com. the political left slammed new report says arrests at the border are dropping. dan bongino is going to join us on that coming up next. president trump gives one newly wed couple in new jersey a gift they will never forget. ♪ ♪

under the trump administration. when i say the word, i mean what's happening up north under the obama administration, the word had gotten around that it was easier to get in. it was easier to stay. you would probably be let out if you were detained at the border. you didn't have to return. again, this is on the ground information. it's not a scientific survey. i'm not making universal proclamations i'm telling you based on the experience of very close to me word gets out zero tolerance is in effect. you may want to think twice about going up north illegally. ainsley: i need to protect myself it's border patrol and into the ice. >> bp. steve: word is if i get caught i'm going to go to jail. if i'm with my family, you know, we are all going to be in jail. >> yeah. steve, it's the catch and release that's the linchpin to this. when the obama administration was doing catch and release, that's the problem. people do not want to spend

time in a detention facility in the united states only to be deported back. if you catch them, and then you release them into the general population, obviously, steve, they didn't care much about the law if they decided to cross the border illegally in the first place entering without inspection which is a misdemeanor and felony few it again. it's the catch and release that's the linchpin. pete: one of the lynch pins of the platform is the open borders and others is socialism as we saw this candidate win the primary in the bronx, running on the platform as a democratic socialist. turns out not every democrat to include tammy duckworth believes socialism reflects the future of the party. listen to what tamm tammy duckworth said and we will get your reaction. >> i think it's the future of the party in the bronx where she is. i think that we as legislators need to listen to our constituency and get out there. i think what she did, she did the hard work. she pounded the pavement and she was out there talking to every one of her

a sudden we should be surrendering the economy to big government bureaucrats and a socialist ecosystem because a candidate in the bronx won by 4,000 votes in an election. what was the turnout? 20% or worse? it was awful. i think something like 30,000 people or less even voted. give us all a break. i think duckworth is kind of sensing that that we better stop this before it gains a foot hold. pete: it already has, arguably, bernie sanders basically won the democratic primary if it hadn't been rigged and he ran on the exact same label. democratic socialist. >> yeah. second year in a row making a million dollars. that's socialism is very profitable for bernie sanders. nice job, bernie. well done. pete: that's true. ainsley: thank you dan. good to see you. steve: wait a minute the democratic primary was rigged? pete: that's what i'm told. steve: i think i saw that somewhere. too. it's news time with jill. jillian: that's right. good morning to you. good morning to you at home. smoke in the cabin forces a

regulation and the role of government. and especially when we think about potential big issues that could relate to the president and get before the supreme court swn has ruled -- he comes from a court that has dealt with issues about whether presidents can be subpoenaed or not. that could be a big deal. ainsley: what about judge raymond kethledge. >> judge kethledge is on the sixth. courtney: of appeals. he was a short lister last time. i think one of the things we can know about him and all of these other candidates on the short list is that president trump no, ma'am pricepromisedpromised in his can someone who would overturn roe v. wade. even though they don't have a strong record on issue that, that was one of his arguably most important campaign promises that follow through. ainsley: we will see. they could be the swings.

the fourth one is amul thapar. >> trump appointed him. he was one of the first nominees pushed through the senate. and, again, very little paper trail. that's kind of been the trend with some of these candidates. that's why it's pretty important to look to the president's litmus test that he put forth in the campaign to know what they're really going to be like. ainsley: joan larson and amy barrett. can you tell us about those two. >> those two are obviously the only women on the five list short list. some people are thinking they might not fulfill the president's overturn roe v. wade. we can assume they're on the list they need that litmus test. ainsley: we will know on july 9th. that's when the president has promised it have a good day. protesters around the country increasing calls to abolish ice. one immigrant who came here legally says that will our

tosmght nonetheless, a lot of those people in those many cities were talking about what the number of people to the political left, super political left are talking about. and that is getting rid of ice. ainsley: unbelievable. if you go on website and read more about ice and what they do they combat trade of childhood pouring. pornography. export of u.s. technology that could do us harm. ms-13,ing sex trafficking, child rape those who produce fraudulent documents. protect federal facilities and commercial airlines after 9/11 and goes after americans who hire illegals with low pay inadequate. that's what the democrats want to abolish. pete: if you saw these rallies, they are calling ice a terrorist organization that absolutely needs to be abolished. it isn't just the far left. even some on the center left have made those same suggestions. we have paid term coming up and election in 2020 where this will all be litigated. of course, president trump looks at all of that very, very differentially and says

dems are going to lose if they try abolish ice. listen. >> 28-year-old socialist that just beat out joe crowley says abolish ice and get. this more democrats are getting in line with that, kirsten gillibrand today saying we need to abolish ice. >> i hope they keep thinking about it because they will get beaten so badly. ice, these are the guys that go in and take ms-13 and they take them out. you get rid of ice, you're 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 they are seriously talking about that? because you are going to have a country that's crime-ridden. the border patrol, the border patrol agents. ice, these people are incredible. steve: okay. so he says that he hopes that the democrats run on that. there are a number of democrats who we heard over the weekend, for instance, senator richard blumenthal from the great state of connecticut, he said accomplishing ice won't work unless you change the president's policies. also, tammy duckworth said, look, it would stillable the

same president, same policies, abolishing ice won't work. and then have you got a very famous democratic polster by the name of so linda lake. she told axios voters believe we need some enforcement of border security not just immigration but security. i wish we were pushing for this we need comprehensive immigration reform. she thinks getting rid of ice is a political -- could be a political loser but if they did something like a repeal and replace, in other words, it's a bad program but we're going to replace it with this, that could work for the democrats. ainsley: depends on what state they are from. they are going to be talking about what's best for their constituents. if they are in a state that voted for president trump. yet, they are a democrat. they are probably not going to say i want to abolish ice. just like the president asked joe manchin and asked heidi heitcamp to come in his office and talk about justice. which justice is going to replace kennedy. it's the same when it comes with abolishing ice. here in new york they are going to say that.

pete: you are right. very much like the sanctuary city debate. mayor's say we don't want to work with ice. we don't recognize them. ultimately voters get a vote. we will see what happens through the primary process. what matters the most to me. what is actually happening on the ground? what does ice actually do? who are these men and women and what is their mission. earlier on in the program we had sheriff chuck jenkins on the show from frederick county maryland. they have an ms-13 13 problem in that area. we asked them. what's it like to work with ice? here is what he had to say. >> i have worked with ice, people of ice from the street level agent to middle management to you were management with ice. they are very dedicated, very committed. they do a tough job and they do it well. and, listen, they are professionals. they are tackling the big problems one step at a time but they are getting there under this administration, under president trump. the gloves are off. they are k. now do their job. pete: the left doesn't want the drugs to come off. they want the gloves to stay on. if you are an ice agent on

the ground who is going after criminals. you want the tools at your disposal. ainsley: they want kid gloves. handle them very gently. steve: keep in mind it's all politics. we are a couple months away from the mid terms. and what are the republicans going to be talking about? they have a good message when it comes to you are able to keep more of your money through the tax cut and stuff like that. and, of course, everything they would brag about what the president has done would -- what do the democrats have? now they have got. this and the big question is how far they are going to run with that. that's exactly right. pete: they also have got in motivating your base you motivate based on supreme court picks. so much of where conservatives, especially social conservatives rallied around this president which he has promised is he going to stick to a list of folks who are strict constructionists who don't want to legislate from the bench. our only maria bartiromo as we know a week from thousand he says is he going to make his pick. july 9th. she interviewed the president about replacing justice kennedy. this is what the president had to say. >> i'm going to pick

somebody who is outstanding. i think, yes, i think we will go very quickly, i actually believe that it's probably going to be vicious because the other side, all they could do is obstruct and resist. the whole thing is resist. but, and maybe some day we will be able to get along with the other side. i don't know. right now it's only resist. that's all they want to do is stop things from happening. they will try very hard. i think it's going to go actually very quickly if i pick the right person. ainsley: she did ask about roe v. wade. if you appoint a justice that's ultra conservative pro-life and wants to overturn road what happens? he says it would probably end up a state-by-state basis. senator susan collins is not going to support a justice that is going to vote that way, is going to try to overturn roe v. wade. i won't support a nominee hostile to roe v. wade. they are not representing established positions or law. keep in mind she represents the state of maine. pete: hear about precedent. don't want to hear about roe v. wade. precedent. roe v. wade was a terribly

decided decision. not based on the constitution. if you put a strict constructionist throughout who believes in the constitution. nothing to respect the way it was decided. a lot that goes into a pick like this. folks, social conservatives who voted for this president on this issue are going to be looking very, very closely at the top of person man or woman chosen. steve: president made it clear he is not going to have a litmus test. have you got to be for this to get my nod and ultimately he said it could be some day up to the states. meanwhile, one of the states that pete was in this past weekend. pete: loved it. steve: ainsley is from is south carolina. that is where senator tim scott said that there's somebody nobody is talking about regarding the supreme court. and that is a guy he wrote a book with. watch. >> >> i'm going to recommend trey gowdy be one of the folks that i would have strong -- a strong recommendation for him serving on the supreme court. i hope that the president

will be open to that a guy who will call balls and strikes and not choose a side even when he is elected member at this time in our nation's history. >> you know, he would be a unique choice because is he one of the few people we have actually seen kind of from the bench you are, you know, at those hearing rooms where he is interrogating. ainsley: outspoken. steve: you are able to see give and take and is he a great prosecutor. might be a good justice. ainsley: he and tim scott are best friends. the president did say i was going to pick somebody off that list of 25. i understand the list has been amended since then. steve: added five more. and we had guests on this morning hearing through "the grapevine" he has narrowed it down to five and trey gowdy is not on that list. pete: there is going to be at love code talking here. balance of the court on social issues is at stake. and the left has a huge stake in it and the right has a huge stake in it. and with a guy like justice kennedy conservative nominated by reagan slowly

moved and became a liberal. that's why the list was created for folks that supported trump. it's hey, these are guys that are strict constructionists not obsessed with roe v. wade. the constitution was written not to be living or reinterpreted but to be understood as the baseline of our law. this is -- you think our rhetoric and political rhetoric is high right now? wait until this pick comes out and everyone scrutinizes where they have been on these issues. ainsley: when ronald reagan appointed justice kennedy or nominated him that was his third nominee. the president didn't get through. the senate doesn't have long to approve this person before the midterm. they take a selmer break. the president will decide in july. they will come back and vote in the fall. they will not have time to go through two or three different names. he will have to pick someone. pete: harry reid changed the rules. it's a different game in the senate. steve: right now the white house is going through everyone's background to make sure they would pass muster. keep in mind most of them

>> we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom, starting by replacing ice with something that reflects our morality and -- [cheers and applause] steve: some on the political left continue to push to abolish ice taking to the streets in protests over the weekend. those who enter the country says it's important to follow the proper process. mic disease was born in mike diaz immigrated legally. he joins us from san francisco. mike, good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you. steve: i'm okay. i'm puzzled. do you think the democrats think that is a winning message, abolish ice? >> i don't think so. i think most americans believe that we need laws and that there should be a process for getting here legally and there is we should follow those laws.

that's what makes so great. steve: that's what your family did. you hear a lot of sympathetic stories about people on our southern border and they would love to have asylum because of the conditions in guatemala or hun temperature honduras or g like that. i know you have compassion for them but what do you think should happen to them? >> well, i think that, you know, we have a process and folks like the president said, we need -- they need to show up to the port of entry and, you know, enter the system the legal way, like millions of others have and go through that process. i believe that needs to happen. i don't believe that we should have open borders. really what we are seeing today with regards to sanctuary cities is that's just part of a larger agenda to actually just open the borders up. steve: sure, i know took a vote on welcoming sanctuary city. you are not a sanctuary city. but, why was it important for your family to come to

the united states from mexico legally? >> well, you know, i didn't really have a choice in the matter. i'm glad we did. but, i think as folks come to the united states, they are leaving lawless nations. look at central america. it's a lawless nation. they are leaving that why would you come to the united states only to come to the same thing? so i think it's important to have that process for us to ennorris the laws that we have. it wasn't until i got elected until i realize realized how big human trafficking for example is right here in san diego. it's a huge problem. and it's because of those porous borders. steve: indeed. that's what they say. mike diaz, republican council member, thank you very much for sharing your story. >> you're welcome. steve: 7:20 now in new york city. that immigration debate is dividing our nation ahead of independence day.

how do we use a holiday like the fourth of july and shared values of 1776 to put prism ovepatriotism over politi. >> absolutely. thank you for your service. i have flown around twice and fought a few wars within it. this country is great not just because of the size of our wealth or the strength of our military or even our free system of government. those are the effects of what makes this such a great place. the reach why we are the greatest country in the world is because we don't care where you pray or what you look like or who you vote for. we are in this country together and we inherently have a love for one another. just for that reason. >> we are the only place in the world that has this many reasons to divide ourselves, to go hide in our corner and be with those like us. yet we don't. in this country, beyond that reason, we are americans first. we fight wars to protect one another. and even more importantly, in small town america. not out on the street with protests or up in d.c. but in every little town in this country, if your neighbor's house burns down, you are the west one there

to help. someone falls down on the sidewalk you are the first one to pick them up and dust them off. i know that because that's how america treated me when i lost my legs in 2010. that's who what i see every single day. i work in camp southern ground. we work with kids with different disabilities. autism spectrum disorder. we put them through a weekend camp. at the end of that week they're seeing the gifts and talents in each other. nothing else. no challenges. picking up each other and helping each other through it that's how we all need to be as americans. pete: we don't see class, color, creed, america is an idea. yet, increasingly, we do see political party. i'm going to put up a pew research poll here as democrats and few republicans, and how republicans view democrats. it seems like we are moving in the wrong direction from. 1994 to 2017, amongst republicans. 81% of republicans now view democrats unfavorably and that's up from 68. >> you flip it to the other side. and the same thing exists,

democrats view republicans very unfavorably up into the 80's. can we put those political differences aside on the really big issues? immigration, war and peace. the economy, socialism, capitalism and come together as americans or are we irrepresenirreparably damaged h. >> no, we can absolutely come together. walk out the door this morning and go to work. find someone who has republican or democrat tattooed on forehead. will see is a lot of human beings and probably a lot of americans. take time to have at conversation. find out what it is that is important to them. i guarantee you none of these political issues are going to be on the top three list. it's going to be things like family. maybe the people they work with maybe their favorite sports team. there are some reasons we can come together and talk and have a civil conversation before we even start in on politics. we're all human beings. and thankfully in this country, we are all free americans. and that's what we need to focus on first, especially this week but every single

day. you know, i lost my legs in a war. i hate that i had to go to war. we can debate it. understand i did that because i love this country and everyone in it. not just the republicans. not just the democrats. and if someone like me from small town georgia can think that way. all 330 million americans can i hope that's what we get closer to doing. pete: that's true. and especially when you are overseas in camouflage punch line. mission we are in this country together. joey jones, thank you for your service and enjoy this fourth of july week. >> thank you, pete. you too. pete: you got it one week away from president trump naming his supreme court nominee. why will ask counselor to the president kellyanne conway about that coming up next plus, one restaurant manager refused to serve a trump supporter. then he got served with a pink slip. you're fired. ♪ ♪

they go along. in fact, doesn't make up the law at all since that's the legislature's job and the judiciary's job to interpret the law. too many judges these days in our federal courts, in my view are making things up as they go along, legislating from the bench, subject to the polls, the protesters, the political whims, the fidelity is to the constitution. if you don't like the constitution, amend it. so, i guarantee you it will be somebody who is in the mold of original thinkers and somebody who shows fidelity to the constitution. i also just want to say this president, the moment he announced that he would be selecting a successor to justice kennedy's seat, he started in the advise and consent role with the senate. he had democrats and republicans here. as soon as he returned from his two-day trip to north dakota and wisconsin, and we appreciate those senators coming here and expressing their views on the process as well. pete: kellyanne, if you talk to legal scholars strict

constructionists and originalists and faithful to the constitution they look at the roe v. wade and see it as legislating from the bench. they found a right that hadn't previously existed in the constitution. say what you want about abortion being legal or not legal. how much will the decision of roe v. wade and the view of a future justice factor in to the president's decision on this pick? >> the president made very clear in the interview this weekend on fox news that he is not asking people specific questions on cases. this president wants somebody who has great experience, deep intellect. wonderful judicial credentials. but i am just amazed how, yet again, the left boils everything single thing, including a supreme court justice down to one issue, abortion. no wonder the supreme court just last week held against the abortion folks and in favor of the crisis pregnancy centers out in california in saying that

crisis pregnancy centers don't have to tell someone that they can actually get an abortion if they are not choosing to. unless you live under a rock with an eye mask and ear muffs on you pretty sure you know that you can get an abortion in this country. so what's with the commerce clause and amendments. we know they are hostile to the second amendment in what about the rest of them. the supreme court takes on any number of cases. this is why you see a democrat totally beholdenned to the abortion issue almost to the exclusion of everything else. is this why have you democratic senators already who have said there is absolutely no one that this president can nominate to the supreme court that they will even meet with that they will even consider voting for. howed in thhowed in the can youy that when you don't know the person's name? steve: they want 4-4. they don't want a swing vote on it. >> well, that's too bad. they should have elected their person president, i suppose. but, at the same time, i

want america to really understand the breath of what our federal judiciary decides in a given year in a given term. look at the 1 u.s. circuit judges that have been put on the bench by president trump. that gives you a window into the sol soul of his selections. one in you eight u.s. circuit judges as we stand here are trump nominees. the moved our white house council's office have moved to get these vacancies filled in our circuit courts. that's the court system right below the united states supreme court. the cases get appealed to the supremes. got to use that expensive law degree every once in a while. one in eight of them are trump appointees. this important to know. this is a very, very consequential step for any president. ainsley: that's why a lot of evangelicals voted for him for this very issue.

let's talk about mexico. they went hard left. they voted a leftee down there to be the new president. his name is andre felipe lopez obrador. our presidented tweeted out congratulations, hope we can work together. is he seeking a good relationship because a he wants mexico to pay for the wall and he wants that country to help with us immigration issues? >> the president is seeking good relationship with leaders all over the globe. this is somebody who just three weeks ago was in singapore to meet with chairman kim of north korea. this is somebody who is set to go meet with president putin again. this is somebody who is always looking to improve relationships in their pursuit of peace and prosperity. and in the case of mexico, obviously, we share a border with them. this president has made very clear about building that wall. and having mexico pay for it he has been very clear about border security. we have too much porsche. too many drugs coming over our border. we obviously have at love folks coming over the border who shouldn't be here.

and more importantly, i think when the president talks about border security, he is talking about us being a sovereign notre dame nation that obviously has physical borders. how many billions of dollars have we spent over how many years helping other countries protect their sovereign borders. it's high time we do the same here. is he reaching out to the new president of mexico through his social media platform to say i look forward to working with you, congratulations and he means it. steve: speaking of immigration. there were six or seven hundred rallies across the country. pete saw one in charleston over the weekend where people are, among other things, saying it's time to abolish ice. people simply did not like the separation of families and i know the reunion i reunifn process is going on right now. nonetheless, is that message -- and you are a polster, you see a lot of motivated people in the streets is that a good message for democrats other do you think it could make the party look weak on security, which is key for

swing voters? >> it's a very simple binary choice. you are either for a sovereign nation that has a border or you are for open borders. and a lot of the crime that comes with that. and the call for the abolition of ice in my view is the intersection of arrogance and ignorance. it's also all of these people preening for leverage in 2020. really, folks? what exactly have you done in 2018 or 2017, for that matter, that you are worried about 2020? have you got smarter, i think, more senior democrats like senator blumenthal of connecticut this week saying he doesn't think calling for the abolishing of ice is a fruitful exercise, pushing back against folks like kirsten gillibrand the senator from new york center right member of congress. for her to refer to ice as terrorist organization, those brave men and women in immigration and customs enforcement are doing their job. ice was created in 2000 'in

response t2003 inresponse to 9/. ugly and these folks are trying to execute on immigration and customs enforcement in many ways. last year, for example, they confiscated about 2500 spowndz of fentanyl. that is synthetic opioid 50 times the potency of heroin and 100 times the potencies. enough fentanyl to kill every american. kirsten gillibrand's new york recently ice apprehended 40 criminals. the idea of abolishing ice is very unfortunate talking points. if the democrats are running on that, you have maxine waters attacking chuck schumer, have you dick blumenthal attacking kirsten gillibrand and the woman just won in the bronx view on ice. by the way, bill de blasio, your mayor of new york running to the border,

abolish ice, abolish ice. have you looked around lately? he has a lot of problems in his own city. he could stay there and correct them and help the people in need there. pete: or maybe he is running for president. we will see. steve: could be. kellyanne have a great fourth of july. >> happy independence day to america. ainsley: yes. pete: love it. ainsley: hand it over to jillian who has more headlines for us. jillian: following a number of stories. let's start with this. president trump's former personal lawyer michael cohen giving a wide ranging interview if asked if prosecutors offer him leniency for. he says my wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will. i put family and country first. anchor george stephanopoulos then saying quote, you are facing the real prospect of having to choose between protecting the president and protecting your family. cohen responded quote, they are my first priority. interesting. a fun trip takes a

targeted products. why is felt pens on the list. ainsley: they are targeting certain lawmakers behind. this exactly. ainsley: you are from canada. the president says he wants to put america first and have an equal playing field it might cost you more to buy dishwashing detergent or buy ketchup as it worth it as americans because we are gaining in other areas? >> right now it's not going to have a major effect on prices. even in canada the effects is going to be minimal because it's such a small group of products. in the united states the long-term is cars and tariffs and the retaliation. and that's where we are heading. ainsley: what do you mean what's happening with cars. >> the president has announced he is considering putting a tariff on cars coming into the united states. they claim, for example, that europe they charge 10% on cars that go into europe and the united states only charges 2.5% in terms of tariffs. but, that's not factoring in suvs. suvs is the core market right now a lot of americans drive those larger cars and americans.

the president charges 25% tariff on suvs. that's where we could start to see prices climb higher in the car sector and then have you all these countries that are retaliating, eventually products, get your strawberries from mexico you could see higher cost. >> if it's ketchup or dishwashing detergent it's across the board. >> if you like imported goods it could effect you. it's going to take a while for price increases to happen. ainsley: thank you so much. anna kooiman is kicking off our proud american series. she is live in virginia. we will check in with her next.

watch us in the mornings. we'll bring you news. this is a big week. the president will choose the next supreme court justice to take over justice kennedy. he will announce the pick on monday. a lot of people went to the polls to vote for him on this very issue. steve: president tweeted out a big week especially with numerous victories especially in the supreme court. heading back to the white house. leaving bedminster. exciting time for our country. economy may be stronger than it has been ever before. we do understand that after susan collins, the senator from maine went to visit the president, she said, you know, i know you got the list, but you should look else's where too, expand the list. apparently he did. there are five new names on the list but we don't know what they are. ainsley: doesn't include trey gowdy, tim scott, one of his best friends from south carolina, please, mr. president, put trey gowdy on the list. he would be a great judge.

pete: interesting pick he would be for sure. kellyanne conway on the program earlier. tried to get a little peek under the hood let us what they would be focused on. she let us know what democrats would be focused on. >> he is not asking people specific questions on cases this president wants somebody who has great experience, deep insight, wonderful judicial credentials. i am just amazed how yet again the left boils every single thing including a supreme court justice down to one issue, abortion. the supreme court takes on any number of cases and i think this is why you see a democrat totally beholdened to the abortion issue almost to the exchange of everything else. pete: it's true. i would say on the flip side, abortion is a huge number one issue for a huge part of this president's base, sewing conservatives. he has said, here is my list this strict constructionists, constitutionalists, originalists, whatever you call

them, they will not legislate from the bench. other say good you extended list. others say it is bad on the list. people voted on that promise. do not you know estimate the pick will be. in my opinion if the white house fetes too cute, check a box here, you will do alienate a lot of people who believe very v. wade was wrongly decided. sticking to his promises served this president pretty well. ainsley: they represent their constituents. susan collins up in maine. she is a little more left than she is staunchly conservative. she says she doesn't want to overturn roe v. wade. she wants to respect established positions. she will not support a nominee for someone that wants to overturn roe vs. wade. steve: we're talking about the supreme court pick. we're talking about the midterms.

mexico had a big election. its with a landslide to the far left candidate. the president tweeted this out. congratulations to on address manuel obridor i look forward to working with him. both to be done to benefit the united states and mexico. i imagine they will exchange a phone call. one top pick of interest of immigration. the winner said it is a human right around the world for people to resettle in american. pete: you will hear more about this mexican president, they call him amlo. how the president will interact with this new president. seems to be pro-migrant. doesn't think mexico should do mexico's dirty work. he a leftist, some say socialist. what will that do to the economy. ainsley: you're president says it is fine if you want to

resettle in america. do it the right way. he doesn't believe in open borders. doesn't believe abolishing i.c.e. he doesn't believe democrats should not harass republicans if they don't agree with him. president sat down with maria bartiromo yesterday. this is what he said about the democrats aabolish i.c.e. >> 28-year-old socialist beat out joe crowley, abolish i.c.e. kirsten gillibrand says we need to billionish i.c.e. >> i hope they keep thinking about it. they will get beaten so badly. these guys take ms-13, take them out. if you get rid of i.c.e., you will have a country you are afraid to walk out of your house. i would have that issue if they do that they're seriously talking about that? you will have a country that is crime-ridden. border patrol, border patrol agents, i.c.e., these people rin credible. steve: you can see the wheels turning in his head. if that is the democrats

message, abolish i.c.e., what he will come back with, they are the party of open borders, which you mentioned a moment ago. also not so strong on security. that is one of the top issues for swing voters. democrats, you know, 20% on each side, hard left, hard right. it is people in the middle who wind up picking presidents. ultimately that is -- ainsley: independents,. pete: his instincts have been good on so many of these issues. you don't have to be a pollster, open border, taking away your guns, second amendment, abolish i.c.e., might not work that well. steve: see all the rallies over the weekend. people were motivated to go out. pete: you're right. steve: there they were. you saw them up close. pete: a lot of is based in the resistance still. all about trump hate. that still motivates the left a great deal. steve: that is powerful. pete: powerful for the base. supreme court picks and things like that are just as motivating for the right as well. why a lot of people came out.

of the gorsuch was a big win for this president. i think there will be plenty of motivation. ainsley: mike diaz, a legal immigrant, california council member there, why would anyone leave a lawless nation for another one? >> look at central america. it is a lawless nation. they're leaving that. why would you come to the united states only to come to the same thing? so i think it is important to have that process. and for us to enforce those laws that we have. keep in mind, it wasn't until i got elected until i really realized how big human trafficking, forks, his, right here in san diego. it is a huge problem. it is because of those porous borders. steve: you know in the last couple weeks, the message from our southern border about separating family was very potent one. people were outraged that was going on. president signed an executive order where we're not doing that anymore, thank goodness. the idea to keep everybody

together as a unit until they adjudicate that. nonetheless the democrats saw opportunity to make political hay. so what they have done, is they have been pushing now this abolish i.c.e. thing, but you've got to wonder what their endgame is, some people like the woman who won here in new york's 14th strict, she was all about billionish i.c.e. now you have got people who are more centrist democrats, senator richard blumenthal up in connecticut, abolishing i.c.e. won't work unless you change trump's policies. forget about i.c.e. get rid of trump. so that is the new talking point on the left. pete: very much so. interesting last week, hispanic support, legal immigrants from this country has increased. everyone who is here, race, color, creed, background wants law and order and actual border. come here the right way, america has always been the most welcoming country. ainsley: just want a safe country. get it over to jillian with more headlines.

family research council. >> good morning,. steve: steve when you heard maria ask that question, people are telling me i better not do it, it might go back to the states some day, what did you think of that answer? >> that is an answer that we've heard from other presidents because, you're not supposed to ask specifically about cases and how someone would prejudge a case, all right? that's a given, but this president, go back to his campaign, go back to what he has done since president, no president haas been more outspoken, about the life issue, talking about barbarity of partial-birth abortion or late term abortion. look, he put together a list could be thoroughly vetted of pro-life candidates that can respect to the constitutional right to life. all those on the list are good. some are better than others. i'm hoping he picks one that is stellar on this issue. steve: ultimately what you like

about the list is, on the list are names of judges who would not legislate from the bench and that is one of the things that have gotten us to the point we're at right now you say? >> oh, without question. and so, we are looking for those constitutionalists and i think a constitutionalist, an originalist will understand and will rule on the right to life. i think there are some on this list that are stronger in their opinions and in their history than others. given the fact, steve, the left wants to make this all about abortion, i think it is much bigger. i think we have religious liberty we've seen in the last couple weeks, freedom of speech, first amendment in the cross-hairs of the left. life, they want to make it about life. if i were the president, i would say game on. i am going to pick someone who is beyond reproach, some on the list like hardiman and barrett, that are above reproach on that issue i think will excite the president's base. seven out of 10 of his evangelical voters said that the

supreme court has an affect on their daily lives, so it is an important issue to them. i think this supercharges the president's base to get behind hum in his pick. i that spills over into the midterm election. steve: you have two items, immigration or abolish i.c.e., if you really want to billionish i.c.e., motivates both sides. we didn't this a couple weeks ago. a lot of this on the political left are making hay out of this. if this president makes a pick they will do away with your choice to have an abortion in this country. >> what we've seen since roe v. wade, planned parenthood versus casey is ruling case law. we see this more with the states. i think this ultimately goes back to the states. it is about religious freedom. about the sanctity of human life. here is what i think the president has for him. he kept his political promises. this was at the top of his promises.

i think the president as he has throughout his life sailed into the wind, not away from it. he should take the challenge from the democrats. put forth a candidate above reproach on this issue of the sanctity of human life. i think, what i said he will supercharge his base. pete: his base will be happy to hear who the person is. he will announce it a week from today. tony, thanks for joining us live today. >> thanks, steve. steve: meanwhile straight ahead on this monday, dana loesch will join us live. she is coming up. one town is putting their patriotism on full display, flying 40,000 flags for independence day. the woman behind it all coming up live joins us next. ♪ book now at choicehotels.com

immigration policy in this country, let's abolish i.c.e. >> yeah. steve, that sounds like a horrible idea and thank you for having me. good morning to everyone. that seems like a absolutely horrible idea to abolish i.c.e. i have noticed, i'm sure all of you have, in the calls to abolish i.c.e., there have been absolutely zero solutions. i was talking about this over the weekend t was amazing to see these individuals, democrats, democrats like kirsten gillibrand, who has 2020 aspirations you don't really have your finger on the pulse of what america is thinking when you're actually talking about undermining security assets, security which is national security in particular and immigration. two huge issues to voters going into midterms and going into 2020 and at the same time, look, i've been to the border. i talked with border agents, i talk with border patrol chiefs, i talk with people who listen to my program that live right by the border, this is a huge issue to them.

they don't really like it, people who are enforcing it being disparaged. here is what i find incredibly fascinating, a lot of the same people calling for abolishing i.c.e., as you would probably not be surprised also don't believe in the right to bear arms and don't really believe in self-defense which is what i find fascinating because i.c.e. just in 2017 alone, in the hot area, between laredo and across the border in mexico, that whole entire area is controlled by a drug cartel there have been close to 6,000 firearms that were being transported illegally across the border. there is a huge gun smuggling operation going on there between, black market individuals who operate in that particular, for the lack of a better word, sector, and of course the drug cartels and i.c.e. led investigations into stopping that and confiscating those firearms that are being illegally distributed to drug cartels. but, i mean we're also talking about the party that sanctioned "fast & furious."

so, and we know what "fast & furious" was. we were running guns. we weren't even able to trace them. of the 2000 ran across the border maybe a few hundred we've been able to actually retrieve. that was a epic failure. it doesn't reconcile. pete: it sure doesn't, i.c.e., to your point, they have done some work, not on their image, letting know work they actually do. in case you mid, south texas members seize cachet of assault weapons and armament. it is not just human trafficking, not just drug trafficking, it is gun trafficking and crime. if i.c.e. is not doing this, who is? >> who would? they haven't proposed any solutions. number of crimes with illegally-possessed firearms, so many firearms are obtained on the black market i.c.e. is seeking to stop at the border, the calls to abolish i.c.e., have nothing there in its place. it is irresponsible and reckless

governance from a party who should know better. i have to question where their loyalties lie. i.c.e. is enforcing will of voters. the voters to have the government operate in this particular fashion. these are individuals that up heading the law people created. this is also the same party, by the way, remember when people on the right were criticizing the fbi rightfully so, for the hillary email investigation and whole russian collusion fabrication, democrats, were saying you're talking about undermining federal agencies. is that cool now? i'm curious? because their narrative changes daily. i think we need memos. pete: we do. ainsley: dana, we're living in a post-9/11 time and i.c.e., if you go on their website, they protect federal facilities and commercial airlines. they combat trade of child pornography. they work to combat illegal export of u.s. technology that could be used to do us all harm. they deal with killers, ms-13,

child sex trafficking, and go after americans who hire illegals with low pay and inadequate conditions. so these that are so far to the left that want to abolish i.c.e., what would america look like without i.c.e., when you look at what they do to protect all of us? >> that's a great question. maybe perhaps be the united states would start resembling the open border policies, start resembling germany in their open border policies is. the idea that the united states is not allowed to have some sort of border control, that a sovereign nation is not allowed to vet individuals who are coming into the country, vetting individuals who are coming in and requiring them to come in legally is not a denial of human rights. i am fascinated because i realize that with mexico's recent election, that is what their new president is calling for a human right to be able to settle in the united states. how about mexico go first? they can alter some of their immigration laws in the united

states, when you compare our immigration laws to a number of other countries, the united states's immigration laws don't look so bad. a country has the right to vet people going into the country. with the way our government is organized, i.c.e. has the right, through the people and the authority invested in it by those individuals to carry out the laws that we have predetermined are going to keep us safe and that is exactly what is happening. this party, the party we're talking about, i hate doing right and left, honestly are they on the side of lawlessness or on the side of law and order? steve: ultimately people get the choice in november. dana, thanks for joining us live. >> thank you all. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. jillian: following a number of stories. arrests at southern border dropping as the trump immigration cracks down on. >> under obama administration word gotten around easier to get

in easier to stay. you would probably be let out detained at border. when you go down there word goes out zero tolerance is in effect. you may want to think twice about going up north illegally. jillian: according to the associated press, border patrol made 34,000 arrests in june. that is down 16% from may, when the agency nabbed a little more than 40,000 illegal immigrants. the drop could also be due to seasonal trends. notorious gangster is on the run after a dramatic jailbreak straight out of the movies. convicted cop killer escaping with the help of two armed guards who hijacked a helicopter and took a pilot hostage in france. they also used smoke bombs. the chopper was found but the manhunt for the crook is underway. a few years ago he used dynamite to escape from prison. he said his life of crime is based on the movie ""scarface"."

so, what you do in the piece, you go inside the mind of the american left to see the world through their eyes. >> right. pete: what do they see right now? >> it is fear and loathing that everything that donald trump does just drives them crazy and you know, secretly they're enjoying the tax cut. they're glad cousin jimmy finally got a job. although they can't give trump any credit for it. and on the immigration issue, the border control, i point out that, if they're really sincere about helping children, every city, especially new york city, has thousands and tens of thousands of homeless children living in municipal shelters. do they go to those? do they help? why are they so fixated on the border? i think it is cynical. they hate donald trump. he define trump derangement syndrome requiring you to do the exact and absolute opposite whatever the president does but meanwhile, because of the supreme court rulings, his poll

number, because of the economy, kim jong-un meeting was popular with the public, his poll numbers rising including among hispanic voters. pete: absolutely. they found a cynical political issue to use him as extension of their resistance. >> right. pete: inside the piece you say he is finding his political sweet spot. how has he been able to do that in light of the wave of resistance? >> i think it bears repeating often it is a remarkable thing that has happened, that no president has ever been subjected to such vial and unfair media coverage, and such hatred from the opposing party which has vowed to impeach him, even before he took office, and yet he is nearing 50% approval across the country. his, pew did a study -- pete: 90% among republicans. >> 90% among republicans matches what george w. bush had right after 9/11. so these are high-water marks of

his it is expanding. pew did a study who is supporting trump. only 31% were stereotypical no college white male. the rest were college educated women and non-whites. 66% of his supporters. so i think the president, his message, his policies are working. there is lot of hurdles. he is making mistakes. he is shorthanded in some of these polly implementations but you have to say right now he found a political sweet spot. pete: follow through on north korea, follow through on immigration. those will matter eventually. but so far a lot of winning as you said. >> i think he is in a position now, i can say quickly about the supreme court. pete: real briefly. >> two big rulings on unions and on travel ban, upholding his side of the aisle. pete: yep. >> now, to replace kennedy, he
