courtroom. jillian: how anthem players are taking fight to the court, "fox & friends first" starts right now. ♪ ♪ rob: all right, good morning to you. jillian: one female. as far as i know. if i'm wrong, people don't come at me on twitter. rob: sounds like five people singing in there. so much going on in the world right now. good morning to you, you're watching "fox & friends first" on this wednesday morning, i'm rob schmitt. jillian: and i'm jillian mele, thank you for starting the day with us. world leaders starting meeting in brussels and this morning the

president pressing nato allies on defense spending during bilateral breakfast in brussels. rob: kevin corke traveling with the president, kevin, it's been a fun morning. >> boy, it certainly has. let me tell you as you pointed out a full day of meetings ahead for president underway in fact, here in brussels, by the way, i should point this out that for the folks at home whether he recollects have a family photo that we will be able to tell you later, the family photo will include the first lady melania trump but all the smiles during family photo will not hide the considerable tension that we have seen already here at this nato summit. why? frankly because the president is standing up for the american people and in particular for the american taxpayer in calling on nato allies to do more to secure their own well-being, safety and security. the president making his position abundantly clear this morning in nato and in germany in particular who gets

protection from russia by the u.s. as part of nato but is also in business with russia to the tune of billions of dollars. >> how can you be together when a country is getting energy from the person you want protection against for? >> because you have to understand that when we stand together also when in dealing with russia we are stronger, i think what we have seen -- >> no, you are making russia richer, we are not dealing with russia. >> making russia richer, wow, in the meantime, the leaders of the alliance are obviously looking for ways not just the strength the unit, you will hear a great deal about that in the coming day or so, for ways to manage those financial expectations of the president of the united states, perhaps, a major prelude of conversation yet to come today, guys, for now, back to you in new york.

crucial to uncover bias of president trump. >> this testimony is going to be key, it's arguably probably the most important testimony we will have had yet and the reason why if you said he was lead investigator for both of those probes and that's important because if we were to take former fbi director jim comey at his word, he wasn't involved with the day-to-day, peter strzok is the guy who was making hands-on decisions out there and just as important there's going to be a lot of questions for him. it'll be interesting to see what he says but also interesting to see what he does not say, i would expect at times that he can't go into ongoing investigation. we will see how much tolerance the members have for that. just as interesting would be if he pleads the fifth and if he does in relation to what questions because that would suggest his legal counsel suggest that he might have liability in some regard. >> strzok is being investigated

for antitrump messages he sent to lisa page before russia probe was launched. rob: supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh will be back on capitol hill today looking to win bipartisan support from senators. jillian: democrats are vow to go put up a fight. garrett tenny live in washington with more on battle brewing in the senate. >> well, rob and jillian, we are already seeing how top democrats are intent on using every trick into available to stop nomination, the day after nomination, judge kavanaugh's appointment to supreme court would put a whole host of protections at risk including a woman's right to have abortion, some went so far suggesting that kavanaugh's confirmation could directly cause women to die but others appear oppose to him simply because president trump picked him and they believe it may have been done to protect the president from prosecution.

>> would be the vote in deciding whether he can pardon himself, get out of jail, free pass. >> republican leaders are criticizing democrats for playing politics with his nomination and resisting the president at every turn. >> democrats given the current state of politics are unwilling to defy their base and vote for well-qualified nominee, they will oppose all nominees by president trump. >> vice president mike pence escorted judge kavanaugh to capitol yesterday to kick off weeks of one-on-one meetings with senators and told our own bret baier when senators sit down with nominee, most will be able to support him. >> we have every confidence that as members of the senate come to know and appreciate judge kavanaugh as the american people come to know and appreciate this principled jurist that we will see him confirmed. >> republicans have enough seats to confirm judge kavanaugh on their own but only if every gop

senator votes yes. today judge kavanaugh will be back up on capitol hill to meet with more senators and leading democrats are once again holding a press conference to speak out against confirmation, rob and jillian. jillian: garrett, thank you very much. kavanaugh to be one of the strictest to serve high court. john barrasso says that's exactly what we need, someone to interpret the constitution and not where he are -- rewrite it. >> i think it's a su perp -- superb choice. all of us, republicans, conservatives alike agree that the rule of the -- the role of a judge is to apply the law, not legislate, it is a legal document, it's not a living document.

judge kavanaugh is the right person. take a look at credentials, highly qualified, i think he's the right person for the job. rob: if judge kavanaugh is confirmed the balance of the supreme court would then lean to the right. jillian: ten minutes after the hour, from the border wall to obamacare, democrats have fought president trump's agenda nearly every step of the way but thanks to judge kavanaugh they may have just lost secret weapon. legal expert up next to explain why the left can no longer use the bench to fight their battles. rob: and is hillary clinton attempting a 2020 comeback in? the move she is making this week that has speculation swirling

rob: democrats to find a way to stop confirmation, more likely to rely on courts to push a liberal agenda for them. joining me now to discus is republican national lawyer's association board of governor's member, thank you so much for coming on this morning, we appreciate it. i want to start off -- >> happy to be here. rob: great. i want to start off, most of the damage that's been done to the president's agenda has been done in lower circuit courts. i think the ninth circuit is one of the favorites of the left. they love to go there. they get a favorable ruling, how does the supreme court change ability to affect the trump administration? >> well, one of the key factors that we have a trend in the courts is lower courts issuing nationwide injunctions, you see that in district court levels and court of appeals and ninth circuit will affirm that that's been particularly important in travel ban cases, in other cases where the courts and some vim

cases are resisting the president's agenda and so with another justice coming on to the court who is likely to find that that type of decision is overreaching and single court cannot set policy and overrule the president's agenda, that will deal a devastating blow by attempts by the lower courts to try to individually one by one stand in the way of the president's agenda and particularly inform shopping, that's why you see the cases being filed in san francisco where i'm sitting right now and not in places in the midwest. rob: less inclined to pull moves in the ninth circuit and might be losing bat until the end? >> correct. rob: let's start with immigration, that's a big one, a lot of damage has been done by the left to trump's policies. talk about the impact there? >> well, so you're seeing these issues blow up through the courts, the daca case situation and what happens to the 800,000,

now about 700,000 dreamers and relatives, that's a critical one, the deportation cases and separation of families at the border, that's a very hot issue right now even just yesterday there were rule negotiation that and so that's likely to come before the high court. other cases involving citizenship questions, involving the right of the government to impose questions about citizenship on the census, these are all major issues that are bubbling their way through the court that may end in supreme court. rob: next one is obamacare, tell us how this might impact that. >> well, obamacare is a critical battleground in the high court because what we have seen so far is last year in october the trump administration announced that it was going to be no longer enforcing a critical part of the obamacare ruling which is sort of refunding insurance companies for providing subsidies to lower-income americans to purchase these

plans and what's bad about this for the insurance companies is they are required under obamacare to continue to give the subsidies but they aren't going to get reimbursement which is causing them to raise rates around the country. the initial to try to challenge in courts here in san francisco actually failed, judge here in san francisco appointed by obama said no, the president does have the right to do this. that's going up way through courts and likely to end up in supreme court and justice kavanaugh already commented on the issue of various portions of obamacare and so it's going to be interesting to see how as a justice he then interprets again whether the president can sort of pick and choose and have certain parts of it apply and certain parts not which may cause the whole system to collapse. rob: sure, how about epa regulations? >> okay, this is not critical area that's begin to go see dismantling under the existing court with justice gorsuch said.

the epa over the years particularly over liberal administrations and even conservative gradually made a lot of law without congress passing laws, for example, declaring, you know, certain farmland as waters of the united states because there's a little furrow there where the tractor goes, you know, overregulation with respect to endangered species, drilling for coal on public lands, things like these, with the impending chevron, high court and lower court deference, determination of certain laws, that's going to be critical. that's really the biggest battleground that the left is most freaked out because predictable vote that he would be no on chevron deference. rob: wealth of information this morning and thank you so much and now we understand why the democrats are about to go nuts to stop the confirmation, it all makes a lot more sense.

harmeet, thank you. >> my pleasure. jillian: terrorism on the rise in american soil, the brand-new report that wanna-be jid addists are hard to track. >> we may win so much that you may get tired of winning an you will say, please, please it's too much winning.

bet to take on president trump in 2020. but is she the candidate to rally the rust belt and convince blue-collar states to vote blue. joining me now to debate is former presidential adviser to former presidents clinton and obama, dr. johnson cook and political analyst ron myer, thank you for joining us. susan, i will start with you s she the person to take on president trump? >> i think warren warrants consideration, i think she's definitely one of the ones. i mean, when you have a candidate, you rally around the candidate and make sure that not only she but she has the support that she needs. she's strong, she's politically staff vi, she's a senator, i think she's one of the ones who are strongest consideration. jillian: ron, do you agree? >> well, sure, i would love to agree from a republican's perspective we would love to have senator warren be the nominee, i think she would be easier to beat than secretary clinton was. if you look at rust belts, you

really think senator warren who has been a college professor before serving the united states senate and not passing any substantive legislation will appeal to places like wisconsin, minnesota, ohio, pennsylvania, i mean, i don't see it happening. i don't see someone with her values appeal to go that part of the population. she's really a democratic socialist and she's not like the populist like bernie sanders where he sort of has the union appeal, and i just don't see how they will run over the trump voters and by the way in the state that is we are talking rust belt states, we have seen 300,000 new manufacturing jobs in the country and most in the state that is we are talking about. i have a really hard time senator warren will be able to go in the state and say we need to get rid of president trump and what experience she has in the economy to get it back going when it is in fact, getting back going in some of the states. >> i totally disagree. jillian: let's pull up the map here, we want to break down the numbers and i will let you respond in a second. some of the states to watch in 2020 that did tip the scale for president trump, then candidate

in 2016, you look at michigan, president trump had 47.3 points compared to hillary clinton's, 47% in wisconsin, trump 47.2 and then pennsylvania trump had 48.2 compared to clinton 47.5, you are looking at small numbers, you look at point, the economy and how well things are going right now u dr. johnson cook, do you really believe that some of those states would tip in favor of democrats? >> well, totally, like you said it's a small margin so it can tip either way. it's not just the economy, people are looking at the separation of families, people are looking at all of the things that are not going right with this nation and i think senator warren is going to be front and center for this. i disagree with ron in terms of whether she can do it or not, she certainly can and that's what strategy is about, that's what political strategy is about she has been strong and out

front from the very beginning so i totally disagree with you, ron. >> listen, susan, people in the coast and suburbs care about trump's twitter and penalty, the people in the midwest they don't care about that stuff not nearly as much they care about -- they care about being employed again. steel factories open up for the first time, you see unemployment hitting record lows from every major demographic. in fact, i think that if senator warren is the nominee, president trump will be the first republican to win in minnesota for the last 50 years, if you look at the numbers in minnesota, they are closing, he's doing rallies there. i put that as a state to watch if they nominate someone like elizabeth warren, anyone from the coast. i think trump can expand republican margins in the midwest. jill ji we appreciate you joining us this morning. >> time will tell. thank you. rob: 37 minutes after the hour, patriotic price tag, risked his life to protect stars and

needs more time to prepare, she's blaming the fbi for not giving her the documents that she needs to prepare for testimony, they should give her the time, in the long run, we want a truthful and accurate and informed testimony, we don't want to play games. bear in mind and i have been critical of this, this is secret testimony and i harshly condemn secret testimony because then you have the democrats looking at it and they come out with their versions, the republicans look at it and come out with their version, how about we watch and listen to q&a and form our own conclusions. rob: critics say she had plenty of time. i'm also curious, they say she has something to hide. i'm curious, is there any penalty for blowing off a congressional subpoena? >> she can go to jail if they really want to press it for blowing off. but there's no penalty for showing up and invoking fifth

amendment right to silence. now, what would be the purpose of subpoenaing her if they know she will invoke right to silence, it would be to inconvenience her, they really want answers from her tment best way to get answers from her is to cooperate with her lawyers, give her the information she needs, let her study it, put her you aren't oad and see what her answers are. jillian: let's take a look at her attorney's statement, quote, we have asked the committees to schedule another date that would allow sufficient time for lisa to prepare. the committees have not honored that request as a result lisa is not going to appear for an interview at this time. >> no good purpose comes from this kind of sniping between a committee and a potential witness because, again, as i said, the purpose to get information out of her and not the play games. she needs another week, give her the week. if he's wasting time, she's got to show up. rob: okay, let's talk about judge brett kavanaugh, this is going to be very interesting here over the next couple of months. they want to push this thing through fast.

schumer now says that the judge should have to explain, i guess, his position on abortion or maybe even his personal feelings and recuse himself from what, the trump -- the mueller probe, right? >> this is unprecedented that someone would start their tenure on the supreme court and remove themselves from the category of cases that involve the person who appointed them. i can't imagine that judge kavanaugh would say yes to that. my strong advice would be forget about it. you don't have to reply to it and in terms of what he thinks about abortion, here we go again. this has been going on for years, you know, he's a -- he's roman catholic, he's probably personally against abortion, he's already said under oath that roe versus wade is the law of the land and if he goes on the court, will take uphold to uphold the law of the land. on the other hand, you have mike pence who said just last night to undo row versus wade, that's

not a secret. the president has been saying that since he was a candidate. so where is this going to go? i have been critical of this nominee for reasons having nothing to do with abortion. i think he will be confirmed. it would be a full-flejed justice without know disabilities or any areas that he can't get opinions on. look, the democrats are saying that donald trump appointed brett kavanaugh because he believes that the president can't be prosecuted while he's president even if he does believe that, so what. he'll be one of nine members of the court and he's entitled to be on that court once he's confirmed. jillian: judge, as always, good to see you. >> pleasure, happy wednesday. rob: thank you. 54 minutes after the hour, firefighters going above and beyond the call of duty, how they saved an american flag in a truck that went up in flames. jillian: the next story really bites, what led up to this lawmaker's epic mug shot.
