3:01 am
72-year-old tractor-driving neighbor. he did get await a minute the 72-year-old arrested. ♪ all right. we start with a fox news alert. we are just moments away from president trump's arrival officially at the nato summit where other world leaders are starting to gather. ainsley: but the president has already come out swinging, pressing our allies on defense spending. steve: yeah, no kidding that man right there kitchen corc is traveling with the president he joins us live from brussels with more. the president has been blunt >> yeah. blunt is a way of putting it. incredibly so, quite frankly, it was rifting to watch him talk about not just what's been happening with nato spending but also talk in particular about germany or how much or in this case how little they have been giving to defense spending. it's obviously the president's mind set here is to level the playing field, guys, it the american taxpayer when it comes to funding security interests in the european region.
3:02 am
that was his overarching message this morning as he met with leaders from nato. yes, he talked a great length about what nato partners have been able to spend and what they should be spending. by the way, he also made a very important point. he said, listen, the u.s., when it comes to germany, for example, is helping to protect them from russia while the germans are enriching the kremlin to the tune of billions of dollars. we're protecting germany and france and country and numerous make a pipeline deal with russia where they are paying billions of dollars into the coffers of russia. russia. i think that's very inappropriate. you tell me, is that appropriate? i have been complaining about the time i got it. it should have never been allowed to happen. i have to break up, because i think it's very unfair to our country and our taxpayer and i think these countries have to step it up not over a 10-year period they have to step it up immediately.
3:03 am
>> that searing display by the president comes as the leaders of the alliance are looking to strengthening the overall unit while managing the financial expectations of the u.s. commander-in-chief. i should point there out very quickly, guys. i had a moment to spend with the defense minister of germany not too long ago and she said germany is actually increasing by great amounts the amount that they are investing in their own security and defense. they think the nato alliance is certainly a key to maintaining peace and security in the region. for now, back to you. steve: live in brussels. ainsley: maybe it is working. we are paying 72% of the defense spending. the president is saying right out of the gate. that was at breakfast. lands his plane and goes to breakfast. steve: blows them up. ainsley: he said we are supposed to protect germany but they are getting energy from russia. explain that it can't be
3:04 am
explained. you know that pipeline deal billions of dollars. we are protecting germany from russia. yet, they are buying energy from russia. supplier, it will be more dependable and come in with better rate. they are setting up the hub in germany. if the russian gas is going to go through to europe, it's going to go through germany. they are choosing to do it. now, livin'. the president sat down and was supposed to be hey, nice you to see you. how do you people in will brussels do it. instead it ended up as a real exchange. listen to this. >> over the last year about $40 billion more has been given by other countries to not help nato. that's not nearly enough. the united states is paying far too much and other countries are not paying enough. hopefully we can get it resolved. this has been going on for decades.
3:05 am
decades. it's disproportionate and not fair to the taxpayers of the united states. and we're going to make it fair. steve: that's what it is all about. making it fair. what's interesting is, you know, the president has referred to nato as obsolete. you know, you are delinquent. and then he has called all the countries that are not paying their fair share free loaders. essentially. so the big question is what does the president want? does he want the countries to kick in more cash and bring to the threshold or does he want out? brian: he better not want out. out. it would be a disaster. the most successful alliance in modern times. if he wants out, i think he will have the push back of the entire american people his points are strong. poland backed us up. some countries to close to russia including germany. we had a patriot missile system from germany. they took it out. italy left theirs in. they are real allies.
3:06 am
there is some real complaints about germany and the president is not afraid to address it much weaker politically angela merkel who sits in front of the president right now because the president's immigration policies in america are backed up by what the german people want in germany. steve: but, for the president, the big question is what do the american people want? we're paying 70% of the freight there. do the average americans feel like we are getting a good deal out of that? wait a minute, why are we paying so much and they are paying so little why are we protecting them? ainsley: i doubt we would pull out because that would be huge for other countries. who would cover their defense. we cover the majority of it. steve: that's a whole other continent over there. brian: saved the freeland and kept the piece. afghan we got hit on 9/11. nato put troops into afghanistan immediately. first time rule 5 have been enacted they have lost a thousand members of their armed forces fighting with us. do they have to pay more?
3:07 am
yes. yes. did president bush 41, president obama and president bush say the same thing? yes. this president is already getting results from europe. push the rest of the way. make the alliance stronger but don't blow it up. ainsley: there are 29 countries in the alliance. he said they wants us to pay the most to defend them. but, they are making it so difficult for us to do business in europe. we have lost $151 billion. that was last year alone on trade that's a great point. is he linking them both. our allies have bulked up and put $266 million more in their defense. steve: good. brian: getting closer to that threshold in 2024 that's because of this president. steve: the president and iradoesn'tagree with them on thn nuclear deal and climate
3:08 am
change and trade war as well. it's going to be an interesting couple of days. as you know the put of the united states announces brett kavanaugh is his pick for the supreme court. and it sounds like mitch mcconnell would like a vote on the nominee in the fall and then have kavanaugh on the court when it opens on october 1st. but the problem is you have got chuck schumer wants to delay past election day because he doesn't want all of those red state democrats to take a difficult vote on the man second to the left in the blue tie before the elections. ainsley: president gets on the plane and goes overseas to deal with nato. the vice president in charge of taking kavanaugh to the hill, introduces him to the republican leaders. evidence was with mitch mcconnell you saw there. he sat down with chuck grassley 30 minutes yesterday. these republicans meeting with him that support him. then you have the democrats. those ratcheting up their rhetoric. had you senator richard
3:09 am
blumenthal the democrat from connecticut he is the worst nightmare because of his pro-gun record and he had a message for the folks down in florida after that school shooting. brian: vice president talked to bret yesterday. believe it or not, he supports him. >> i think we feel very encouraged at the early response, not just here at the united states capitol but really all across the country to judge brett kavanaugh. the president wanted to put someone on the bench who would not legislate from the bench. we've had members of our federal judiciary who literally have been making policy and making law from the bench. the president looked at this judge and all of the candidates for this opening through that prism and that was the basis of this decision. brian: you know, you look at these democrats. they are never going to vote for him. the ones that are interesting. the blue state democrats in red states. the ones that are interesting are senator mur murkowski and senator collins. collins. so far if you look at his
3:10 am
background and everything he has written, is he this thing called a conservative judge. he has conservative beliefs. and that is anesthetic call towards what democrats want. that's it. steve: senator collins made encouraging comments about his lower court decisions when it came to the affordable care act in 2006 he said that roe v. wade is a binding precedent. so, you know, it would be great to get some democrats but at the same time, he doesn't need to lose any republicans. ainsley: those democrats that you are talking about in the red states, that's trump country. they are up for re-election. they are in a bind. they have said they are not going to announce their going to announce their decision yet. they are going to vet him and make sure he would be a good justice. brian: senator schumer could destroy him. if he wants to hold the line and say no one vote. he could destroy every blue state democrat. steve: he wants to be the majority leader. to liberal that he has to delay the vote until after election day. and that ain't going to happen. it's 6:11 now on new york city.
3:11 am
7:11. jillian has news. jillian: start with severe weather. a tornadoes rips through north dakota overnight killing a newborn baby. the deadly twister destroying one hundred homes in rv park with winds ripping up to 190 miles per hour. the storm injuring more than two dozen people. look at that a mask explosion rocking a wisconsin neighborhood overnight injuring two firefighters and a police officer. flames, smoke and debris filling the area. fires burning all night in sun prairie just outside of madison. people living within half a mile still evacuated at this hour. a contract hit a gas line before the explosion. the injured firefighters and officer will be okay. several members of that youth soccer team and their coach in isolation this morning after their incredible rescue from a cave in thailand. besides some weight loss, everyone is doing okay. this morning some of the boys have been allowed to see their parents.

♪ progressive helps keep you out there. >> we have to talk about the billions and billions of dollars country suppose to be protecting you against. it doesn't seem to make sense that they pay billions of dollars to russia and now we have to defend them against russia. brian: they put the natural gas hub and oil hub in germany. of margaret thatcher center freedom foundation center from london. does the president have a point. are we surprised he brought it up over what seems to be breakfast. >> the president has a strong point in his remarks
3:18 am
about germany. he directly attacked the pipeline which run from russia to germany by being in the baltic states. the president has absolutely right to condemn the pipeline. this is a russian project. the germans are fullly collaborating with for business purposes. this undermines, actually, the security of the nato alliance. the president is absolutely right to criticize this pipeline and call on the germans to increase their pitfully low spending g.d.p. compare that to the united states 3.5 g.d.p. on defense. the germans are not pulling their weight on europe. the nato alliance is fundamentally important to the united states and trans-atlantic lines. we need to see all members pulling their weight investing more in defense especially the germans the so-called power of europe.
3:19 am
brian: they did get force quickly together air land and sea and bulk bulking up cyber security. they have decreased defense spending to $150 billion combined even though they haven't hit all the thresholds. are they on the right track would the president benefit from emphasizing some of the positive or continue doing it the way he has so far. >> the germans have announced limit increases in defense spending they are way, way below the example of great britain who spends 2% of g.d.p. on defense. i do think that the president is right to really call out countries like germany on the defense spending issue. and at the end of the day as well. the germans are operating an appeasement policy towards russia with the pipeline. and so this tough message from the president directly to the german, i think will be effective. there will be many u.s.
3:20 am
allies in europe who will fully support, actually, the u.s. position on this. many u.s. ally also support him. brian: real quick poland and turkey said yeah we have a problem with germany as well. real quick, you said that the alliance is obsolete. you think it should be expunged? >> no, no. the nato alliance is not obsolete. the nato alliance is fundamental were mentally important to u.s. strategic interests. it's vital to the defense of the free world. but we need to see all nato members investing more in the nato alliance. investing more in defense. investing more in the future of the trans-atlantic alines. nato is far from obsolete. it is a vital alliance for the united states. but we need to see all men's members working with the united states to strengthen the alliance. brian: rocky star. candid start. a lot of stuff is usually done behind closed doors

new york city democrat of violating immigration laws by crossing the border on foot in an unauthorized area. it happened during a trip to the southern frontier last month. the mayor's office denies the allegations. violating immigration laws steve? by crossing the border on steve: all right. jillian, thank you. have you seen this video an enraged customer in milwaukee punched an employee and lunged to continue his attack until a pistol-packing co-worker with a conceal carry permit scared him off. police are still looking for that suspect although it sounds like they know who he is. ainsley: today those two women are speaking out about what happened to them. >> meranda shaffer is the one who fended off the attacker with the firearm. veronica, can you set the scene? what set this guy off, perhaps? >> >> it happened very fast. we were cooking orders. there was a few.
3:26 am
and he wanted his money back in the middle of us cooking orders. and started arguing with my server. it moved from there to her removing herself to the situation and came to me and asked if i would give him the refund, before i loo i knewt i looked up and he was in the kitchen and i got punched it happened very fast. ainsley: meranda, you have a conceal carry license. you had your gun. i know you talked to yours about about having that gun. it was 1:00 in the morning, right? you have to protect yourself. what was going through your mind? >> well, first of all, it's like there is someone coming in the kitchen, okay. and he was not -- he didn't look like he was playing any games with anybody. he wanted his money. but he didn't want to wait. like literally maybe a minute. and as soon as she said you can't come back here, that's when he punched her.
3:27 am
and i said no, we're not going to have no more of this. i pulled out the firearm and that's when i you have got to go. steve: i understand you had an incident with this person at least once before. but at this particular location, this restaurant, fist fights with customers are common, right? >> yeah, they are. not with me in particular, but it's common for, you know, incidents to happen, but nothing this severe where i had to pull the firearm. it's just mainly people upset, you know, they don't want to wait, you know, things like that. or it's too packed and they are mad that think can't sit down. down. or they didn't get their order right. it's just things like that altercations. but nothing this severe. brian: i would have to say i don't know too many restaurants say this happens even close to that on a regular basis. but, veronica you said you encouraged meranda to bring her gun to work. >> yes, i did. brian: why? >> we didn't have security at the time and i knew what was going on in the restaurant.
3:28 am
and i told her i would rather you have it. and, you know, instead of her not having it and need it. i worked third shift for a whole year there and it was incident after incident. robberies, you name it. steve: is the restaurant going to beef up security it sounds like you need some other than somebody in the kitchen with a conceal carry. >> they are working on it i have talked to them about it and they are working on getting us security in there. ainsley: what do you think would have happened if you hadn't had that gun? >> he would have most definitely kept on coming. he would have kept on hitting. hitting. he would have tried to fight both of us. the punch was originally for me because i told him no about the refund because i'm not allowed to you give the refund. okay? the manager does all of that. and i told her i need her to give a refund and she told him it would be a second. and he didn't want to wait. and since he didn't want to wait that's when he punched her. he was going to keep on going and keep on going.
3:29 am
it was going to be bad. that punch itself was teenager. brian: of course. veronica you believe the police know who this is. >> yes, they do. brian: what's taking so long? long? >> he is on the run. he was hiding in plain sight for a while. got a lot of tips. but they never were able to find him. steve: every time we watch the video, veronica i'm just amazed you didn't wind up falling face up into the stove. >> seriously. ainsley: how are you doing now? did it break any bones? >> no, thankfully, no, no broken bones but, a little skiddish. steve: no kidding. ainsley: one works still at the restaurant and one quit? >> yes. ainsley: are you nervous about continuing to work there? >> i am. i have, you know, going back there was kind of hard.
3:30 am
being the manageria manager i dt want to let the other employees down because i love the restaurant and the employees and customers that why do have. steve: we reached out to the police department to see if there is an update on the search and we did not hear back. but we will keep everyone posted. brian: they losted a dedicated employee. meranda and veronica thanks for coming on. ainsley: hats off to you. hopefully somebody recognizes this guy and call 911. brian: they shouldn't keep that place open until they get security it should be closed. ainsley: it has happened again, the left harassing trump administration members and this time ivanka trump gets targeted. i[chanting] >> what do we want? >> free the children. >> when do we want it? >> no.

over the last 24 hours, you finished preparing him for college. in 24 hours, you'll send him off thinking you've done everything for his well-being. but meningitis b progresses quickly and can be fatal, sometimes within 24 hours.

while meningitis b is uncommon, about 1 in 10 infected will die. like millions of others, your teen may not be vaccinated against meningitis b. meningitis b strikes quickly. be quick to talk to your teen's doctor about a meningitis b vaccine. i was on the fence about changing from a manual to an electric toothbrush. but my hygienist said going electric could lead to way cleaner teeth. she said, get the one inspired by dentists, with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's gentle rounded brush head

3:35 am
ainsley: you never know, when he is walking in he might stop in front of the cameras and give an interview. brian: for the photo op. tomi lahren joins us now. fox news contributor. always good to see you. >> thanks for having me, guys. brian: when the president nominates a supreme court justice he let's us fight it out and he went overseas. brett kavanaugh gets the nomination and most cavern democrat on the left he is going to overturn roe v. wade. you also say whoever you nominated, mr. president, make sure they don't overturn roe v. wade. do you want to expand on that? >> sure. i think it's important to clarify my statements there. because, first and foremost i believe that judge kavanaugh is a constitutional conservative not a religious judicial activist which is exactly what we want. my problem is with some of my fellow conservatives who have put it out there that we are, quote: coming for roe v. wade. that is a mistake because we are putting it out there and
3:36 am
implying that we are sending a justice to the bench to carry out religious judicial activism which is a mistake and it's unconstitutional. if we as conservatives are going to imply that, if that's going to be our messaging we might as well spit on the constitution. that's not what we stand for. if we are not going to uphold the constitution on its merit, who will? that is up to us to do. so that -- my real problem here, regardless of my views on abortion, pro-life, pro-choice, is the messaging of our supreme court justice and how he will handle roe v. wade if it comes to that point. ainsley: yeah. i know. he is catholic so he probably is pro-life. he has said under oath that roe v. wade is the law. and he is a constitutionalist. so, moving onto the next topic we want to talk to you about, trump administration, we have seen people that work for the president just get berated when they are at restaurants with their families when they're out and about trying to get in their car. when they are at universities. it happened again there are demonstrators that were outside of a school in
3:37 am
syracuse because ivanka trump because there and they were chanting shame, what about the children. what's your reaction? because the left is staying silent on this other than the protesters. you don't see the left. most of the left leaders aren't saying we shouldn't be doing. this. >> and that's what i find most problematic. as you guys know i have had my own experience with this. mine was actually a physical confrontation. luckily -- ainsley: that's right. >> my real problem is when this goes beyond heckling, harassment, water, intimidation, how much worse is it going to get? what is it going to take for the leader in the democratic party on the left to stand up against what's happening and put the message out that this is unacceptable. it's going to get worse. the final stages of trump derangement syndrome aren't just heckling and harassment. there are going to be physical confrontations. i truly don't believe that's what the democratic party is for us to be attacked, they need to make that very clear. until then, there are many of their followers and supporters who do think it's okay to do these things.
3:38 am
they think it's their right and their duty. that's dangerous. steve: what do you think the end game is? is it just to berate somebody, film it and put it on youtube and make them look bad or what? >> well, that's part of it. i know at least in my experience it was done to be filmed and it was done to put out on social media because people want to be famous or infamous for attacking conservatives. but, beyond that, when we have people like maxine waters coming out and urging her followers and her supporters to harass conservatives and trump supporters, there are those that are listening to her that feel it is their right and their duty as i said to harass trump supporters. they feel validated in that and we have other democratic leaders and those on the left that throw out terms like nazi, racist, white supremacist, willy-nilly. that is dangerous because they are putting it out there that it is okay to attack conservatives because they must be bad people. that's wrong.
3:39 am
brian: right. i think it's also important, too. is that almost no one is going to be serving in government for any side if you are going to continue to worry about your own security. when i saw michael flynn being heckled as he left the courtroom yesterday knowing he gave 33 years of his life for the country and what he did in iraq and afghanistan specifically, you realize we have gotten to a very dangerous time u. >> well, it just shows the weakness of their argument and their inability to articulate their political beliefs when they have to resort to harassment and heckling. honestly beneath the democratic party. i hope someone stands up and says enough is enough. steve: let's see. tomi, thank you for joining us out in california where it is 3:40 in the morning. ainsley: thanks, tomi. jillian: did they wake um early or is she going to bed now? good morning to you guys. let's start with this story. homegrown terror threats on

the country's new president-elect wants to create his own border police force to keep illegal immigrants out in an effort to stop drugs from entering mexico. president obrador as previously criticized president trump's stance on immigration. is he now following president trump's lead? here to discuss the executive director of the conservative hispanic society and host of the chris salcido show. chris, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: we know the president-elect had a nice conversation with our president and they talked about things to do and now he is talking about a police force, a border force. what do you think is going on down south? >> well, we would have to believe the last year, year and a half, actually, this entire career of amlo as he is called was just for show. now all of a sudden he is going to be the president of mexico and he has changed his tune and now he is all about border security after campaigning on the fact that he wanted to continue illegal immigration into the
3:48 am
united states. he wasn't going to solve america's problem of central american refugees will/illegal immigrants coming into this country. i mastled at bloomberg's reporting of all of this. they always have to couch it as if everything pertains to donald trump. in the wake of donald trump's controversial immigration policy which was, by the way, the controversial policy was enforcing the law, bloomberg thinks that's controversial now. then all of a sudden amlo wants his own military force. this can work out one of two ways. if amlo says i want to coordinate very closely with the united states. we want to have mixed units, american and mexican units patrolling not only the southern border to make sure that central american presence doesn't come up into mexico and the united states. our southern, their northern border, that's one thing. if he just wants to put a military force, steve, on the border, i would be very suspect because, look at what's happened in the past. we have had incident after incident after incident of
3:49 am
military incursion from mexico into the united states. at one point they drew down on our border patrol. it was very tense standoff in 2014. also in 2014, they shot at, from a helicopter, their military shot at our border patrol. of course, remember who was in the white house. we had a guy that liked to trash america rather than defend america. so nothing was done. steve: with the new president, when he was still running, he said that it should be -- it's essentially a birth right that people should be able to resettle in the united states, you know, didn't really talk about immigration status. but now for him to be talking about this, he has got to be wondering what's he up to? >> yes. i'm very suspect of this guy because is he a leftist and i just trust as a conservative as a liberty loving latino, i'm very distrustful of communists and socialists. if he decides he wants to put a mexican force on his southern border without any
3:50 am
coordination with the united states, i think it's wholly appropriate the united states come up with a military force on our border as well. steve: i think we have one on our border. let's see what happens. chris salcido joining us today. we thank you very much for joining us from dallas. thank you, sir. all right. meanwhile, sarah palin fired up after being scammed by liberal actor. he scored an interview with her by posing as a disabled veteran. you know how some children can be a handful? >> everything is on under control. no. monsters. steve: our next guest has the four keys to set your kids up for success. you're going to want to hear it coming up straight ahead on "fox & friends." ♪ how can i forget you, girl ♪ there is always something there to remind me.

especially after 9/11. and that's what he wants to emphasize. ainsley: guy he is with is the secretary general, general stall continueburg, used to be the prime minister of norway. now is he involved with nato. he sat down with our president this morning or their morning time for a breakfast a few hours before this is happening. and the president right out of the gate got off the plane, goes to this breakfast and starts pressing. says why are we protecting our allies from russia while several nato countries are buying energy from russia. the secretary general says we can disagree but we are stronger together. then the president says how can would he be together when you get energy from a country in which you want protection. we are supposed to protect germany but they are getting energy from russia. explain that it can't be explained and you know that. steve: he called them
3:55 am
delinquent for not spending enough on their own defense. it was in martha germany approved a 10 billion-dollar pipeline that would link the country of russia which is the gas station for germany to the german republic. so the president is going, wait, i'm a little confused here. here. so you want money to protect your country from russia. but you are in bed with russia when it comes to gas. brian: what about what donald tough said earlier. steve: can i point out that is some crazy building. brian: it is really nice. whoever is waxing it deserves a raise. even the president looked like he was having a substantive conversation on the way. in america, appreciate your allies. after all, you don't have that many. the president tweeted out we do have a lot of allies. we cannot be taken advantage of. we are being taken add damage of european union. lost losing on trade. it helps them more than helps us. we will see what happens. he came back and said money is important genuine
3:56 am
solidarity is even more important. speaking of solidarity i want to dispel the american president's argument which says that the u.s. alone protects europe against our enemies threat u.s. is almost alone in this struggle. they feel as though together they do spend more than other nations. but that's 27 other nations 29 total. the president said why are we paying so much. hard to do business in europe because of trade. like he said in that tweet we lost $151 billion. that was just last year on trade. and you want us to pay the majority to defend all of you guys? steve: so, as the president arifsz at nato h.q., this is going to be a meeting like no american president has ever had with the body. so far he said they are delinquent, obsolete, and free loaders. and that's just the first day. brian: i just hope it could end positive. the way to get things done is direct. what happens is usually direct behind closed doors and leaks out by unnamed sources. unnamed sources don't need to be unnamed because the

[laughter] you are just too much. you are so on the money my friend. listen, in a searing dress down this morning not just of nato in general but
4:01 am
germany in particular, i think you hit the nail on the head. the president made it clear that this idea of not doing your fair share simply won't stand. the president was very forceful. listen to his comments this morning as the secretary general of nato sat back and listened. >> how can you be together when a country is getting its energy from the person you want protection against or from the group that you want protection? >> because you understanding that when we stand together also in dealing with russia, we are stronger. i think what we have seen. >> no. you are just making russia richer. you are not dealing with russia. you are making russia richer. >> the president's argument is simply. this germany, who gets protection from russia by the u.s. is also in business with russia to the tune of billions of dollars. and so now the leaders are looking for ways to strengthen the alliance but also manage the financial expectations of the
4:02 am
president. by the way in a fox news exclusive. germany's defense minister noted her country has increased its defense budget and she challenged the president to look past the raw numbers. >> i would suggest to look at the whole balance sheet. we're talking about 2% spending for defense of the g.d.p. this doesn't say anything about who is contributing what to nato. we are the secondst large e. true contributor of course after our american friends. >> she acknowledged this is a conversation certainly worth having but it's one that will take on an entirely different level of intensity, we imagine at this morning's meeting here at the nato headquarters. guys back to you for now. steve: kevin, thank you very much. it is intense, a lot of the president's anger is at the country of germany. is he going, look, i don't quite understand. weave spending all this money to protect germany from russia and, yet, germany is hooked up to
4:03 am
their pipeline. that opened up in march. essentially what the president is doing. he wants germany to buy u.s. gas. and he sees merkel as a hypocrite for saying the things she has about the international community at the same time which she is doing. and she is taking the gas from russia while we are supposed to be protecting them from russia. ainsley: it's great. it's not fair. we're being taken advantage of. our country, we are not a door mat. they need us to be part of nato clearly since we pay 72% of the defense spending. and for them to ask us to protect them against russia and then give them billions of dollars to buy energy from them when they could be buying it from us is not fair. he is calling them out on it. brian: i will say, this the president has got $266 billion more on their collective defense. it's significant now that 8 countries are hitting their contribution targets in
4:04 am
2014, it was three. so the president shows some improvement. will the positive forever us ipositive for us iswe have base. our soldiers sadly have been killed and wounded and go over there to landstuhl immediately and right away. poland is saying hey, listen, i have a problem with germany, too. because i do think they are too close to russia. i have a problem because that gas pipeline goes past all those eastern european nations and stops as a hub in germany. do you think they could put a hub in other nations that have become quickly the most loyal to the nato alliance and astone i can't is one that is hitting its threshold. poland and turkey has a problem. we have a problem with turkey they wanted the patriotic defense missile system giving it to you for four years and taking it back. italy goes leaving it there and appreciate what italy has done in the big picture. the president is making improvement. steve: the president is negotiating.
4:05 am
that's what he does. that's the saying thing he is doing with the tariffs all around the world with trade. is he trying to get -- he is trying to upset the paradigm. trying to change the way things have been for a long time to benefit the country. that's why he got elected, he feels, so stay tuned. brian: i will say this, the president is trying to link the trade and the nato and the defense. he is linking it all together. steve: sure, why not? more leverage. brian: if they are smart, they will say let's roll up the sleeves and start working on trade while we can see each opener face to together and talk about what we need to help each other. they are all focusing on china. they are supporting us on china. that's what the french leader macron says. he said listen, we all have a china problem. let's speak on the same hymn sheet when it comes to china and filing grievances with the wto. ainsley: is he reminding you have to be loyal. you can't take money from us and use that money to go buy or use your money to go buy energy from a country that you are asking us to protect you from. you from.
4:06 am
he said trade is wonderful. he said that's great. but energy, it's a different story. you should get it from us or get it from another ally and not from russia. steve: it's all about money. so stay tuned. meanwhile, it sounded as if for a little while lisa page, one of the fbi love birds was going to be appearing up on capitol hill today behind closed doors. brian: what happened? steve: for an interview. you know what? her attorney says she will not be appearing before too two house committees, despite the subpoenas, because her client didn't have enough time to prepare, which is really crazy because she has known this has been coming for months. and then mr. goodlatte of the great state of virginia says clear she is hiding something. ainsley: something to hide. ron desantis in florida says it's pathetic. jim jordan of ohio says once again showing the double standard. here is what newt gingrich said. >> you are discovering that at the very senior levels of the fbi and i believe of the justice department under obama you had a level of
4:07 am
corruption that makes it very dangerous for them to show up and to actually testify and so i think their lawyers legitimately under our system are saying to them to protect yourself, you cannot go under oath and start talking about this stuff or you are going to -- either going to reveal information that will put you in jail or you are going to end up committing perjury. brian: by the way, for the sanctity of the subpoena system, if i can use that language, you have to show up. if you are going to subpoena someone and they don't show up and they get away with it why would anyone respond in the future. the president is hearing this and tweeted this on air force one. he says i'm on air force one flying to nato and he reports the fbi lovers peter strzok and lisa page are getting cold feet on testifying on the wigged witch-hunt headed by 13 angry democrats and people who worked for obama for eight years. in bold total disgrace. on top of that lisa page and peter strzok, i think that robert mueller would have so much more credibility with the republicans as he has
4:08 am
with democrats if he would be just as outraged and aggressive with what they had their happened on as he is with what he claims trump officials had their hands on. why doesn't he have more curiosity about what they were you up to? steve: keep in mind the congressional hearings are into the decisions made by the fbi and the doj in the run-up to the russia investigation of the trump campaign. trying to figure fought any laws or rules were broken and so far lisa page not showing up today. ainsley: just delays it even longer. brian: as you know, anything they touch arguably can be contaminated. anything they concluded. the interviews that they conducted that are being used in the mueller investigation now have to be looked under the partisan lens. therefore, if robert mueller is using anything that these guys, these two have done and others that he has got to toss that out. steve: that is not the argument they are making. although, i have heard that apparently they were presuming that when she showed up, what they -- she
4:09 am
and peter strzok, they would say well, you know what? we just can't talk about that because it's a continuing investigation u it's an open investigation. that was going to be their way around that. ainsley: all right. sarah palin is upset this morning. she has posted about it on facebook. the story is sasha barron corren the guy who played borat. he has a show on show time called who is america. steve: coming up. ainsley: right. it's going to be a series. speakers bureau. they call them and say will you go toke spo go to speak. legit matta opportunity for you to be on the show and honor american veterans and cricket to a legitimate show time documentary. she bought into it. steve: yes, she did. now she is seeing on facebook that she was tricked. he was posing as a disabled vet. ainsley: wheelchair and all. brian: unbelievable. steve: this is what she says. we were duped. you got me sacha barron

literally physically removed my mike and walked out. the descrm for our u.s. military and americans via cohen's foreign commentaries under the guise of interviewer's questions are perverse. steve: then she says the staff of the show took her to the wrong airport so she would miss her flight home to alaska. brian: are you kidding? ainsley: her daughter, too. brian: did he this act before he did borat. why doesn't he come up with a new line alli g. when he did that. jillian mele we can trust that you are how say you are. jillian: today who knows tomorrow might be a different story. start you off with a fox news alert. we just learned that a firefighter has died after an explosion rocked a wisconsin neighborhood overnight. another is fighting for his life in critical condition. fires burning all night in sun prairie just outside of madison after a contractor hit a gas line. the blast leveling several buildings. just take a look at downtown is just devastated.

4:25 am
article why you like him and why you think he would be a good justice. >> i think it boils down to two facts. first, he is a good man and i think he is a great judge. the great judge side, he has already shown this amazing capacity to influence the supreme court, to write descents or majority opinions that have later been adopted by the supreme court. in all ways he has had his thinking, his judgment and supreme court is doing his work. i'm glad that president trump is going to make it a little bit more official and make him the next justifiable of the court. the other thing is that with a job like this, you want somebody with character. you want somebody with integrity. and this is a guy who takes care of people, whose mentored students and law clerks who is a good father, a good husband, and just an all-around great human being. those are the sorts of people you want to elevate to positions of public authority. i'm really excited about the prospect of him being on the high court. brian: must be tough for you as a friend of his to hear
4:26 am
the attacks on the other side because it seems to get personal. they say brett kavanaugh it's automatic he is going to undue roe v. wade. automatically going to get this job because is he going to protect the president from a robert mueller investigation and subpoena. they say that he is going to take away gay rights. all these things have been happening at such a dizzying rate you can't write them down fast enough. what's your reaction to some of them? >> well, first of all, it's ridiculous. the guy has unbelievable integrity and judgment. independent high quality strong supreme court justice. he is not going to rule republican or democrat. is he going to be a supreme court justice for the entire country. but, the problem with this rhetoric is that people know if you are debating brett kavanaugh on the wisdom of his judgment, on his character, on his intellect, you are losing. and so they are trying to turn this into an apocalyptic political moment so they don't see him on the supreme court. i just don't stand it this is precisely the sort of person that we should be elevating in our public life. not tearing down.

4:28 am
last night i saw a letter going out by former yale law school students, current yale law school students a pretty small group saying that judge kavanaugh is elevated to the supreme court it will actually lead to the deaths of people. that sort of rhetoric actually just turns people to the other side of the political spectrum. if you are making arguments that are that unhinged, i think that fundamentally judge kavanaugh, president trump and the republicans, they are going to win this battle. ainsley: sorry, judge kavanaugh when he was at the podium right after the president nominated him, he was talking about how the majority of his law clerks that he hired are women. i know that he hired your wife. and you know, when you -- you were a student during seminars. you see him from one light. is he your superior, your leader. i know yale is very liberal. you are a conservative. you found a partnership with him there but when your wife worked for him, what did she say? what's he really like behind closed doors? >> so i don't get in trouble, i should say that's the best decision he has

ever made on the bench is hiring high wife. but you know, what struck me is how good of a mentor he has been to my wife really throughout her career. we were blessed with a baby boy about a year ago. she was about to start this really high demanding job a few months after the baby was born. one of the first people she called to try to think through how she could balance her commitments to her family with her desire to be really good at her job was judge kavanaugh was because she knew he appreciated those repeating commands. he gave her good advice. it goes to show one, his character that he is thinking about competing demands between family and work. but, two. that a powerful judge would take time out of his schedule to talk to one of his former law clerks about how to be a good mom even as she is doing good at her job. brian: j.d. we are monitoring events over in brussels where the nato leaders are gathering. we are seeing angela merkel right now walk across the stage and being greeted by
4:30 am
the leader. is he greeting all the world leaders. he greeted president trump at his limo. and the president arrived about 8 minutes early this morning. steve: this is going to be an interesting day for the president. j.d., i don't know if you were hearing some of the commentary earlier, but the president pretty much got there and started blowing him up saying they are dead beats. they are not paying enough. a lot of free lord loaders. this is a different kind of president on the world stage when it comes to nato. >> yeah. that's undoubtedly true. nato is obviously an important alliance. but it only works if our other allies actually pay up and carry their fair share of the border. i think a lot of folks have realized for a long time that the united states has really carried nato for really the past two or three decades and it's actually good to see an american president going and telling our allies look, you guys have got to pay up. if this is important, then commit the resources to it.
4:31 am
brian: do you think the america first attitude that the president ran on is being fulfilled here? i sense there are really no surprises. even taking on china. he has been saying this since the day he walked down -- since he took the escalator down to say he is running for president. >> well, yeah. to me, the china issue is the biggest issue. it's the issue we don't talk about enough. obviously the president has raised the awareness about the rule of china, the rise of china and the fact that they really are our biggest military and economic i for one am pretty happy that we are finally having the conversation about china. about whether their theft of our intellectual property is good for the american people and good for american workers. it's obviously not but you need an american government to push that case and to make that argument. so, i'm extremely excited about that part of the president's agenda in particular. brian: guys, am the only one here attempted to look up to talk to j.d. because is he right above us?
4:32 am
ainsley: we are in double boxes under neath you and a scene from nato on the other side of the screen, j.d. you probably can't see it we will take a little break. when the president pops up, we will come right back. brian: we would tell everybody to buy your book but they already have. ainsley: congratulations on your success. >> thanks. brian: might stick around to see if our president is coming up. ainsley: we will come back from break when he comes out. brian: all right. hopefully quickly.

♪ steve: okay. fox news alert. the president of the united states about to shake the hand of the secretary ♪ steve: okay. fox news alert. the president of the united states about to shake the hand of the secretary general for nato. and here he comes. already chewed his ear off a little bit earlier today saying have you got a bunch of deadbeat countries here. brian: they shared a meal. they had some candid conversation. then it was the nato leader who greeted the president right at his limo and they seemed to have a substantive conversation. ainsley: they seemed to like each other. handshake and walk await a minute he tapped our president on the arm. brian: he was very supportive of the president, even when he came to visit in the u.s. because he says the president is getting nato members to do something i have been urging for a long time. this is a repeat of the president walking across. and that is spend more. and if you are leading nato,
4:35 am
it strengthens the alliance when people spend on their own defense. ainsley: the secretary general did say it's not fair. that the u.s. is paying so much and i agree with the president, feel like they're being taken advantage of and we need to fix this. whether or not it happens it's a different story. steve: you know how this president works. is he a disrupter and negotiator. clearly what he is doing is saying hey, everybody around the table except these three countries and me, you are dead beats and we're going to do something about it or else maybe we don't have to contribute so much going forward. it's the way he negotiates. so far, some of the countries have started to cough up a little bit more dough when you look at the trade imbalance $150 billion last year. man, they are really eating our lunch. he is trying to do something about it. ainsley: you want us to defend you and protect you, we are paying the majority of the defense but yet you are making it extremely difficult for us to do business in europe. and you are doing business with russia. and you are asking us to
4:36 am
protect you from that country. brian: historically, this is the most successful alliance in the modern world. steve: update. >> you could argue that it stopped another war. a world war iii. because of the deterrent it provided to western europe. and then the collapse of the soviet union to have those countries join us. we protected them. the reason why the ukraine was in such a rush to join nato. they believed if they had joined nato there wouldn't have been invasion in their right. the rule 5 would have demanded -- we go. in. steve: what's the limited or threshold where we are just throwing cash at them and it doesn't seem fair. and if you do a poll with the american people, i wouldn't be surprised if a majority would say, you know what? we probably should get more out of the deal that we get. ainsley: i don't think we will pull out of the deal. i think we need nato for exactly your reasons, brian. but we could say we are not paying as much. all the other countries 2% of g.d.p. 29 countries in nato. only a few paying their fair
4:37 am
share. steve: we are close to 4%. ainsley: a lot. brian: these are things that need to be addressed but all on making the alliance stronger and people say don't get rid of it don't fully understand what happened after world war ii. there is going to be a family photo. welcoming ceremony. working groups. i have a prediction. i don't bring money onto the set because we are in a credit card society. but i will bet that the president's closing remarks are positive. we have to make some progress. we are making progress. we are on the right foot. i bet you they are positive. ainsley: i will still take your credit card. brian: you will? fine. steve: 22 minutes before the top of the hour and jillian joins us with headlines. jillian: i will take another credit card and head up to bloomingdale's as soon as it happens and maybe his sak's. more signs pointing to a 2020 presidential run by hillary clinton. set to speak at teacher's convention alongside bernie

4:46 am
dr. sebastian gorka and grew up over there. dr. gorka, first off, does it surprise you the push back we are seeing over the last three years? >> no, brian. it surprises me how long it took. we are talking about years and years in some cases decades of bad policies by the politicians, the so-called elite of europe. the fact that it took so long for the push back, that's what is surprising. it simply tells you one thing, the swamp isn't just an american phenomenon. brian: we are seeing the nato leader talking with angela merkel as well as theresa may. now we are seeing the president of the united states strolling across and holding court as he is with the other 28 world leaders as comments out for what looks to be a family photo shortly and then they will get to work we understand. we will continue to highlight what we are seeing. if you are on radio, sorry. now, let's look at what germany did. in 2015, they want to show a big heart and we -- you would think the world would appreciate that. and perhaps they did.
4:47 am
but the german people didn't. there was a surge of over a mill migrants. the people of germany says you have got to be kidding me. that's unfair refugee burden you put on the german taxpayer. how was that received? >> well, look, now her cabinet, her government, merkel's government is on the precipice of collapsing because of her immigration policies. these are all -- look, these are our friends, brian. we are all members together of the judeo-christian civilization. so we help people when we can. but saying we have no borders. let everybody. in it doesn't matter. that has consequences. and not just national security consequences. but political ones. and that's why you have brexit. that's why you have the trouble with merkel. and that's why have you even macron reconsidering the immigration policies of france. brian: yeah, in france, macron ran on let's open up our borders and be a welcome mat in the world.
4:48 am
in the end is he starting to lose security. terror attacks to stabbings to knifings and people being run over by cars. wait a second, the people of france aren't happy with essentially feeling like eventually like a minority in their own country. now he has been forced by his constituents to get tougher. >> right. this is why we, in the trump administration, had that first executive order, signed by the president on the travel moratorium from those seven specific countries. because, if you don't note knowe identity of who is coming into your country guess what terrorists will use that they have done it have you seen it before attacks in they have done it have you seen it before attacks in paris, in brussels, in berlin, terrorists exploit open borders or lack of verification and then people die, brian. that's a fact. brian: right. let's go over to theresa may who is the utter definition of political turmoil. she lost her foreign minister and brexit minister. now she has got to try to hold on to power that could end come this fall. when she began the process
4:49 am
of withdrawing from the u.k. she also began the process of relatively open when it came to immigrants. people of britain have pushed back when they are not focused on the world cup. now she has gotten tougher on that. and that's part of the reason why brexit was successful, wasn't it? >> yeah. brexit has multiple reasons for why it happened. perhaps the largest one is the immigration insanity. it's the effect on british workers. it's the effect on british culture. and it's also the effect on national security. and theresa may is starting to bungle this issue of brexit. boris johnson very charismatic politician close to the president. his resignation just this week sends a shiver through the body politic in the u.k. and everybody, all these political elites need to wake up, smell the coffee grinds and remember that the people's will is what determines the future of a country. brian: if you are watching at home, we are bring you live shots of world leaders being led across nato

4:52 am
diplomacy not on the breakfast menu when he was talking about how most of the nations in this photograph do not pay the 2% flesh hold and donald trump would like to see that change. ainsley: that's right. our president, you can see as they take the wide shot our president standing right in the middle of looks like the secretary general. 29 countries in nato including just to tame in a a few, belgium, france, italy, u.k., spain and a few others. brian: they have places. they are not winging it. put in the right place. ainsley: how much money they pay? that's why we are in the middle? brian: important time to show unity. guess looking at this, the nato's enemies. and/or say rivals. and that's russia in particular. russia would like nothing more than to see friction with nato. they want nothing more to see some of these eastern european nations who have joined nato like astonia and poland to all of a sudden be
4:53 am
disenchanted by it. if you listen to some of these nations like poland and astonia and lithuania, they not only appreciate america. they want american troops at their borders because they're very concerned about being the next georgia or the next ukraine where the russians roll in and they stay. steve: keep in mind, after this, the president of the united states is going to eventually meet with vladimir putin in a couple of days. so whatever they discuss here will undoubtedly be hashed out as well over there. ainsley: there is he talking to theresa may. >> ladies and gentlemen, please look into the cameras for the family photo for 10 seconds. seconds. >> there is he with theresa may and she said she is looking forward to hosting the president because when he leaves belgium is he going to sit down with vladimir putin first. in helsinki in finland and head to the towk meet with her. theresa may. but he said meeting with putin will be easier than meeting with her. and he said that britain is in turmoil and he said borst johnson is his friend. the guy who just quit the

4:55 am
breakfast before they went over to the nato summit. and he was not mincing words it wasn't like pleasant tries right out of the gate. he, instead, was saying why is germany, why are they getting energy from russia? you want us to pay the most money, us, the united states to support all of these allies. you want us to pay 72% in defense. yet, you are allowing germany. germany is even doing. this billing energy from russia. why aren't they buying it from us. we are protecting germany from russia. yet, they have bought their energy, billions of dollars in that pipeline from russia. steve: when he was running for president, i mean, nato was a common piñata for the president, then candidate donald trump talking about how it's unequal on how much we pay in comparison to the other countries that are actually in europe and are threatened by any sort of aggression. so, this morning he also said, you know, you go back 10 or 20 years, man oman
4:56 am
these other countries owe the united states a tremendous amount of money u so it will be interesting to see whether or not by the end of this fest festivity. this summit in brussels whether or not any other countries are going to say you know what? you are right, united states, we are not paying as much as we should. we are going to up the ante, although don't hold your breath. brian: brought up too condoleezza rice said after hit after 9/11 nato alliance was enacted. french president at the time said hey, mr. secretary. we will be with you. they responded. said i have signed a lot of these condolence letters to families who have lost loved ones fighting with us in afghanistan and iraq and they have lost about 1,000 members in nato. we have lost much more. it is the same fight. i will give you that but they have responded when asked that one time. >> well, i wouldn't be surprised if the president is just trying to rebalance nato. is he trying to change.
4:57 am
brian: i agree. steve: the business plan of it. it's just not fair for the united states, which is separated from europe by the atlantic ocean to be paying most of the freight while these other countries are benefiting from our generosity. so, you know, obviously it's a negotiation. he is saying you guys are cheap scaghts and i'm sick of it the american people don't like it either. >> some have said wait a second by does the president seem nicer with enemies than his allies? that's not the case. i think it's the case where -- this i equate it to. you expect more from your friends and family than do you your acquaintances and your enemies. therefore you have a different threshold. hey, we are supposed to been the same side. can we actually -- can we actually spend what you are supposed to spend in can we act like we are supposed to act? can we respect like we are supposed to respect? there is a different standard when you are dealing with a rival or an enemy or an acquaintance than you are when you are dealing with a family member that is a legitimate family. and legitimate families have
4:58 am
fights and disagreements. the question is do you smooth them over behind closed doors or do you do it in public? the president is so transparent is he doing it in public. therefore, you don't have to worry about unnamed sources who tell you that something went on behind closed doors that you weren't expecting. no, we just haired it. ainsley: those are the most powerful people in the world all together. hopefully they can compromise. and the other countries will be able to see it's not fair for the united states to pay so much to defend them and to protect our allies when they're making it very difficult for us to do business in europe. we lost $151 billion last year. last year alone on trade. and the president is not happy about that. and to go back to the family concept where you are loyal we are protecting all of you allies so don't go behind our backs and purchase things. don't purchase energy from a country i'm protecting you from. >> that's right. particularly talking about germany set that up 10 billion-dollar pipeline with russia. he wants germany to be
4:59 am
buying american. ainsley: he says you are just making russia richer. he said trade is wonderful but energy is a different story. steve: yeah, keep in mind, this is all part of what he is doing around the world when it comes to trade generally and ainsley, you just mentioned the $150 billion where the eu, which these people are members of all made off the backs of american consumers, so, whether it's nato, where we are paying too much or whether it's the trade imbalance, where the united states is not on the receiving end of the good stuff, he is trying to change everything. and he is -- you know what? he does it via twitter. he does it face to faces a he did at the breakfast. he is a disrupter. he is a negotiator. and he is in the middle of all those people who, i'm sure, are trying real hard to bite their lip because they don't like what he is saying because they don't want to pay more money. brian: so guess what? one thing the president could point out is he got them to spend $266 billion more since he took office. even saluted by the leader
5:00 am
of nato right now who was once the norwegian president. president. they also point out too the u.s., europe mean union and japan and others are combining with the united states of america against china. bringing up grievances with the wto about their unfair trade practices and want them to more market based principle. a lot of things they are doing the eu and u.s. are combined

5:02 am
your determination. you are what makes peace and security possible. you allow us to look to the future with confidence. we honor you here today. thank you for your service. [applause] ♪ steve: there you have the secretary-general for nato talking about how we stand together which is appropriate considering they're standing together for a picture. talking about unity, because they're united. what is interesting he also mentioned we need to change as the world has changed. what's that mean? good question. brian: it means a cyberdefense force. it means quick reaction force. it means bringing up military which we've done under president trump, closer to the border of
5:03 am
russia and european nations. they're all concerned about russian meddling in their elections and militarily moving this under the premise there are russian-speaking people that country, time to go in and save them like they claimed under crimea and the ukraine. that is what they said in the past. steve: you have to figure if you're donald trump you hear that, you figure they will start paying more, what we like to see in the united states. our people just got a tax cut, nonetheless year, they do feel like they, they have better uses for some of that money than sending it to nato. ainsley: our president made the announcement who his nominee for the supreme court would be on monday. gets on a plane and now he is overseas for a week starting in belgium for this summit, the nato summit. he will sit down with vladmir putin and head to the uk to sit down with theresa may. kevin corke will follow the
5:04 am
president on the week-long tour. he is is there in brussels with the latest. kevin, what can we expect? this is two days, correct? what will happen over the next two days? reporter: here is basically what you want to keep an eye on. first of all i think the president made the most important point possible. pardon me looking off-camara, i'm watching some of the pictures as we're all taking it in together. he made the point obviously that he feels our nato partners need to do more to contribute to their security but i think the more important aspect of this trip, is rebalance. steve made a great point. he is disruptor. that what he intend to do. the status quo worked for them, not as much for you the american taxpayer. that will be the overarching message as he makes a stop in belgium, london, scotland and later helsinki, finland. brian: kevin, i'm not surprised if trade comes up. the european council president
5:05 am
has been sparring with the president through public forums and social media. being trade is a big issue, the president brought it up, i think it would be hard for the president not to bring it up, don't you think so? reporter: no question. yesterday you saw both on twitter and comments before he left washington this idea of a 151 billion-dollar trade gap between the u.s. and the eu that is part and parcel to this idea that listen, we help protect you. can you not then give us a break and open up maybe your businesses? open up your countries for american business? this reciprocity speaks to the very heart of what this president is all about. he has not seen it, at least on a large-scale at least thus far but certainly that will be emphasis in addition to security cooperation between our country and our allies in the region. brian: before he left the
5:06 am
president issued $200 of additional tariffs on china. we understand a lot of european nations feel the same about china market practices. there might be a point of common thatty here. reporter: you know there should be but keep this in mind, when you have the sort of strength, the economic strength the u.s. has, it is easier to really command the attention not just of the global economically but also command the attention of china particular, what is more difficult for our partners in the region they have to dance to the beat that the american economy will give them. to that end, i think there is area of cooperation here. you will hear more about that especially as it relates to what nato partners can do. steve: kevin, we're looking at live pictures. what are they looking at? sounded like a helicopter a second ago? is it some sort of airshow? reporter: you know what, there is supposed to be a number of different aircraft in the area, what we noticed looking at same
5:07 am
monitor, you will see a formation i believe of aircraft. i believe those are helos in formation. not a real surprise. fairly common at the welcoming ceremony. this is not meant just to talk about the security issues and dollars as the president brought up, but this is also a show of solidarity against america's presumed enemies in the region, guys. steve too sure. you spoke to one of the ministers from germany. she was talking about, look, we spend more on defense than we used to. we have a lot of troops. will the president have time to sit down with world leaders individually, hey, look, germany, this deal with you and russia, we're spending billions of dollars to protect you with russia but you have a cozy gas deal with russia. what gives? reporter: yeah. he has a couple breakouts this afternoon. angela merkel and france's president macron. i imagine the conversation with merkel is the one that most
5:08 am
people want the readout from at its conclusion, not just because germany has the largest economy in the region. also because the president is quite pointed as you said, pointing out the hypocrisy. on one hand we are protecting you from russia apparently, doing billions and making billions in the process in this exchange of cash for natural gas. i think you also made the point quite saliently earlier, listen the u.s. would like to get in on that game. why shouldn't we, if we protect you with all these decades. ainsley: if i join a gym, we jon a club, you have to pay the dues. dues. why are all the countries why are all the countries allowed to be part of nato if they're not paying their fair share, paying what is required of them? reporter: well, remember that 2% is a goal, sort of a benchmark. ainsley: not a requirement? reporter: going back to minsk. not a requirement yet. in fact that goal is pointed
5:09 am
towards 2024, when the countries say we're giving a percentage or 1.25%, they're not necessarily in arrears as the president has suggested. that said, he also made the point today, some of these larger economies, they can spend 2%, right here, right now to further their own security aims in the region. that is part of his major criticism on germany. brian: bill be interesting, 3:15 eastern time, according to sarah huckabee sanders, the president will have pull-aside meeting with angela merkel. i'm interested to see if she is prepared with some substantive act we's sense towards the president. john kelly and secretary of defense mattis and obviously ambassador nato, kay bailey hutchinson, big defenders of the alliance. the president has been kind of tough on nato. i wonder if that is creating friction or is the president
5:10 am
playing bad cop as opposed to good cop. reporter: why i like work withing you. you get it. read in between the lines a little good cop, a little bad cop, the truth is the president is not a bluffer. in this case you have to take what he said very seriously. now what they can do, to be honest is somely to better, pay more, do your fair share, open up markets to american business and commerce, and in the process acknowledge that after decades of protection, that yeah, we will give special attention and treatment to the americans who certainly feel like they have done their fair share. that is the president's position. if that happens in short order, certainly great for the usa. will it i think is a more difficult question and certainly not one i would predict the outcome for. ainsley: kevin said a meeting with vladmir putin will be easier than meeting with theresa may. explain the significance of the sit-down with president putin
5:11 am
because i know you are following the president there. reporter: this is real complicated issue because the real concern among some members, guys, say the nato summit doesn't go so well. say the headlines in the outset are at very conclusion seem to signify a fracturing if you will. then you compare an contrast that with upcoming meeting with vladmir putin, if things seem to go very well, maybe there is concessions towards russia. maybe the president draws closer to perceived enemy in the region versus longstanding friendships, alliances we have here. that is a real concern. i should point this out, that is not something that is fly-by-night here. that is very legitimate concern here. if you're a nato member, if you're a part of this alliance you want to make sure that the relationship with the united states remains very strong beyond what the member stations, or member-states are paying right now into the alliance, guys. brian: people have to get over it this is the president. startle doing.
5:12 am
get over the fact that is not way things are normally done. understand we have to make real progress. progress. the ceremonial stuff does not fly in former businessman. kevin we'll lose you in 10 seconds. let's make it smoother and say good-bye. reporter: take care, guys. be well. steve: there is the conference center where they are about to go into which is good, we've seen them for 90 minutes or so, so far they have smiled and taken pictures. they have to sit down and get something done. we think that is what will happen next. ainsley: those are the opening ceremonies, start chitchatting, come up with a solution we're not paying as much. brian: i bet it is more positive than negative at the end. ainsley: "art of the deal." brian: i credit cards. ainsley: what is credit card number? brian: i will not give that out. steve: at the conclusion you always want to leave a summit on a high note, say, we came.
5:13 am
brian: that would be nice for a change. steve: but in the past, that hasn't always happened. you just never know with president trump. brian: in matter of moments speaking with the chairman of the judiciary committee, senator chuck grassley, not only about this but more specifically about the president's nominee, brett kavanaugh, some of the pushback. there is one of the more controversial leaders in the nato alliance. you have to wonder how long they will be in it. president erdogan of turkey. they're trying to get the russian defense system and at same time, purchase our f-35s. really? mix american technology and russian technology, you think you will get both? not a chance. we have to wonder about the cooperation in the region and commitment to the nato alliance, they're a key component especially with their location. he basically got another 15-year
5:14 am
term in election that took place a few weeks ago. steve: its 8:13 here in new york. it is 2:13 there at nato headquarters. the president essentially said, there are too many freeloaders in this group. you're on sew sleet, you're delinquent. that has got to change. the nato leaders are trying to figure out how to be polite but firm. they will nod, yes, yes. ultimately at the end of the day, i bet they will not cough up anymore cash. ainsley: a lot of them in these situations it is politics. you have politicians been in office for a long time, this president, there is new sheriff in town, you keep hearing that line. he went into the meeting, the breakfast meeting this morning with the second their general, said why are we protecting our allies from russia while several nato countries are buying energy from russia. the nato secretary said we can disagree. we're stronger together. how can we be stronger when you
5:15 am
get energy from a country which you want protection? brian: $266 billion in increased defense spending from european allies in canada. they say they will reach the threshold by 2024. noted improvement but i don't want to wait 10 years for the rest. steve: bring in the chairman of the senate judiciary committee chuck grassley from my birth state of iowa. he is joining us now from the russell rotunda. senator, as we look at some of the goings on at the nato summit in brussels what do you make of the president saying, hey you guys, you're not carrying the freight, the united states is,. >> other presidents saying same statement forcefully with not proper follow-up. this president is following through with something he said at campaign, something he said at last meeting, it ought to be
5:16 am
sinking in, that he means business. also sinking in from the fact that at least every country, to a lesser and, thank god a few countries to a greater degree are increasing their spending on nato, but i think the most important thing that he brings up, if nato is to protect from russia's advancement westward, then quite frankly, why are you helping the economy and helping putin by buying natural gas from him? i think that is a stronger point. ainsley: senator, as we watch what is happening there in nato, we'll keep pictures up, we want to talk with you what is happening in washington. you sat down with the president's nominee for the supreme court brett kavanaugh yesterday. i read an article you sat down with him for 30 minutes. what was that like? >> it was a very casual conversation. i asked him to tell me what i need to know about him. i didn't ask a lot of questions because you have to go through all of these opinions to ask very directed questions.
5:17 am
i will do that at the hearing. but i feel very comfortable for him. first of all, this is the first president in 204 year history of our country that told people way ahead of time the type of people he should put on the supreme court. so we shouldn't be surprised. he has put two qualified people now on the supreme court. doesn't matter whether you agree with them or not, you can't deny they're very effective and well-qualified jurists. brian: i guess that will be key to the case. when you do this, so many major stories going on at the same time but i want to bring you to something else happening affecting people of iowa and that's trade. are you for, do you appreciative of the president's approach when it comes to these tariffs? canada, mexico, now $200 billion on china, especially when it comes to farming, are you okay with the president's strategy of rebalancing world trade? >> i'm very, very nervous about it and my constituents are very,
5:18 am
very nervous about it. it doesn't just affect 5% of the people in iowa that operate farms. it ripples through the whole economy. i am a free trader. i do want the president to level the playing field with countries that have more barriers to trade than we do, but uncertainty of it is very bad. we do know this, that if the president, the negotiator is, brings these negotiations to the brink, if he doesn't go over the brink, we know that it is going to be better for the united states. but if he does go over the brink, it will be catastrophic. with the price of soybeans and corn falling way it has, it already has been catastrophic if you want to sell your beans and corns today. if you wait a while, maybe you can do better. or if you sold them two months ago you do better. this has had very detriment al impact on current markets. brian: did you tell him, did you tell him that in. >> i had opportunity to tell him
5:19 am
three times with other senators over a period of three months and for 12 months people in his administration, the catastrophic impact it could have on agriculture. and so they know where we're coming from. but the president being the businessman he is and having the philosophy, this is kind of his philosophy, not a direct quote but the longer you negotiate, the better deal you get. well i hope he knows what he's doing. it is making people nervous. ainsley: senator, going back to brett kavanaugh, the senate majority you have a very slim lead, 51-49 republicans. you have to depend on joe manchin, joe donnelly, heidi heitkamp, running again in red states where president did really well. those are democrats. susan collins, lisa murkowski to find out how they will vote, do you think he will get confirmed? >> no i have not but i know there has to be something very
5:20 am
dramatically to go wrong for susan collins and lisa murkowsky not to vote for this candidate. highly qualified he is, seeing the law, not making the law, particularly when comes to things concerned about, the presidential value, and stare decisis all that stuff that judges follow, he is a predictable person from that standpoint. i think we have to worry more about the democrats but i think that we can't count on any democrats until we get the 50 votes we need. and then, we'll get five oar six of them. otherwise i don't think we can count on them. brian: who needs them. they are saving their own butts. >> you said it more clearly than i did. steve: chuck grassily, thanks for joining from us capitol hill. brian: he is a good color analyst. the left is harassing trump administration members.

ainsley. ainsley: thank you. well, get your box of kleenexes out. emotional moment when that little girl right there, meets the army national guard and iraq war veteran who saved her life. watch this. >> hey. >> thank you so much. >> not going to let me go. >> have another video he is dancing with her at a wedding. ainsley: she was just four years old, diagnosed with akim mow resistant form of lukemia. only way to save her, bone marrow transplant. incredibly, mike loriano signed up to be a donor.
5:26 am
a perfect match. mike, adrianna and her brother jesse join us now. thanks for being with us. tell us the story what happened with jesse four years old. >> she had started complaining of some pain in ankles and her knees and her legs. i thought it was just growing pains. i didn't realize that was possible symptom of lukemia. i brought her to the doctor four days later, did cbc, had a complete blood check. had all. acute him foe plastic anemia. ainsley: parent's nightmare. >> that is what i described it. ainsley: mike, how did you get in the mix? >> i didn't know about adriana until recently. back in 2014 i was going to college in wilmington
5:27 am
university, they had a table set up to be the match. i didn't know anything about the organization at that time, but they explained how it worked, that they work with individuals who may have bloodies orders. one in 400 individuals that sign up to be a donor could get the call. at that point, sign up, if it is meant to be, it is meant to be. about a year later i got a call saying hey, you know, there is a little girl with lukemia, you are a match. that is how that started. >> you are a hero. you literally saved her life. without you we probably wouldn't be having this interview. we are watching the video of you crying embracing him when your mom opened the door. you jumped into his arms and cried, said thank you. what does michael mean to you. >> what does mike mean to you? >> he means a lot to me. ainsley: is there a message you want to say to him today?
5:28 am
>> yes. >> he is listening. you can tell him anything? >> i really miss and i want to come to you. ainsley: oh. michael, response? >> i miss you too. yes. >> she loves him. like there is no words. always cries when we talk about him. ainsley: you know what i thought? thought? i told our producers, we heard a little clip on the video. you said the next time you shoot a video with michael, it will be on her wedding day. >> i'm definitely going to do, have them together and have that be videoed as well. ainsley: that is really sweet. michael, do you want to respond to her? do you want to say anything to her? >> miss you guys too. i will see you soon. >> he will come stay with us. ainsley: we wish all the best. adrianna, god has big plans for your life. keep us positived.
5:29 am
we'll follow your story. if anyone wants to be a match, go to foxandfriends.com, sign up to be an organ donor or a match at, what is the website i want to make sure i get it right. >> www.bethematch.org. ainsley: god bless you all. mike, you're a hero. thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: all right. steve: all right. back to nato. and the president of the united states just entered the big room, the conference room there. and it will be interesting to see what is on the agenda. he has his own agenda. they have their own agenda, which do not necessarily sync up. the president of the united states wants more money from the body, particularly from the member-states. the member-states like the deal way it is where the united states pays way more than they really should. we've been doing it for a while.
5:30 am
ainsley: common sense. you want to be a part of this, you have to pay your way. brian: unlike many organizations the president is a wedge-breaker. he goes in there. behind him comes mattis, secretary of state mike pompeo, ambassador hutchinson, that is the broad thing, what the president wants to achieve. let's go execute. up to general mattis held position in nato before, ambassador nato hutchinson, go execute, come out with tangible gains. therefore this president will have positive remarks theoretically at the end of this. maybe the family photo will be even better next time they get together. ainsley: he is here to say, america first. you might be a nice person. i will be honest with you. what we're doing is not fair. first of all you're making it really hard for us to do business with european countries. he said that we lost $151 billion last year alone in trade. he said we're paying majority of the defense spending, 72%. there are 29 countries involved
5:31 am
in nato. why are we paying the most? you're still buying energy from russia, when we're protecting you from russia? steve: in particular, he singled out germany and, so that pull-aside later today with angela merkel will be interesting, because the president, i'm sure she will say, mr. president, look we buy a lot of stuff from the united states. he will say, yeah, you have the cozy deal with russia regarding the new oil and gas pipeline. that is just a crazy situation. there is the secretary of state mike pompeo right there. looks like portions of the state department apparatus in attendance. sounds like they're calling people to sit down because the show is about to start. brian: by the way secretary of state mike pompeo by many accounts has reinvigorated the state department, to the them to stay, to the the morale up. what a few days he had. north korea, japan, go to afghanistan. i will meet you in brussels. now here are remarks from the
5:32 am
nato leader. let's listen. >> today we will from our collective defense and deterrents, step up efforts to protect stability beyond our borders and fight terrorism. fair burden-sharing underpins everything that we do. just a few years ago we were cutting our defense budgets. now we are adding billions, spending more and spending better. today we will recommit to investing more in our defense and sharing the burden more fairly. we have a full agenda, but before we continue, i would like to invite our host nation to say a few words. [speaking french] >> translator: thank you, mr. secretary-general. mr. secretary-general, dear colleagues.
5:33 am
70 years ago we decided to create nato in order to work together for peace and on the basis of our common values, of our shared values. brian: now some of the opening ceremony remarks welcoming everyone there. from the belgium representative leader, who has to be a little disappointed after his country lost 1-0 to france yesterday. he would have been happer if he had not lost to macron, who will find out if they play croatia or england on sunday but i digest. steve: he comes to the nato summit. hey you have to pay more. you lost the game and it will cost you more. ainsley: kay bailey hutchinson is sitting next to the president, right behind him, from the great state of texas, ambassador to nato. she has said, she watched other presidents go to nato summits, look it is not fair that the u.s. is paying so much. she hasn't seen anything happen as response to it. now what is happening, you are seeing more countries, there she
5:34 am
is talking to the president. you see out countries paying up and paying a little bit more. the president is still not happy with it. the 29 countries involved with nato. we're paying bulk of this. not fair to protect you. we don't get anything in return. saying america first. not afraid to go through and get his gloves on, have a fight. brian: let's be clear, even though the cold war is over, marshall plan is implented, way over. we rebuild europe. watching defense. now standing on their own. we have our military bases, we are per view into russia as well. we consider them adversary even though we hope a more friendly relationship. their actions are not worthy of that kind of trust at all. for people that say president is not tough on russia, listen to the chief complaint about germany, that you cut a deal with russia giving them billions of dollars.
5:35 am
if he would would be prorussia, he would have said germany a great job. steve: mixed message. we protect you from russia and enter into financial deals. the president famous for all the financial deals that made him a billionaire. we don't expect the president to do any speaking. largely ceremonial right now. they're talking about unity and bright future. it is interesting what happens going forward because the president, this would be two years in a row, going to nato, he said come on, guys, pay more. people of the united states would like to see you pay more. nato, you know, he is described it as delinquent. some say it is obsolete. time for a re-do, rehab, makeover. brian: they are working up to 12:45 eastern time. they will motorcade to the art and history museum. then the president and first
5:36 am
lady do a family photo with allies and heads of state. then they have a ceremony for the brand new building. the president participates with leaders in working dinner, which will be interesting. maybe they have opportunity to say something publicly. when the president, walks from his car or helicopter, he talks. of course he tweets. so we will get an idea. i sense that the president will know it will be in interest with vladmir putin especially to say nato is more unified and stronger than ever. steve: but at the same time, keep in mind, as he was leaving for g7, hey, wait a minute, these are the big economies of the world. why isn't russia a part of it? that sent off shockwaves throughout the world. brian: because they don't deserve to be a part of it. they're complicit in killing tens of thousands of peep syria. they should not be anywhere near the g7. ainsley: why do you think he did
5:37 am
that? do you think it is compromise knowing he will sit down with vladmir putin? brian: don't know why he did it. i think it's a tweak on g7. i'm not really sure. russia's actions, nor do they even look to aspire to get back into the g7, to make it a g8. steve: i think it is negotiation. hey, g7, you know, unless we do something here, unless i get what i want, maybe we should have russia here. brian: even if they are poisoning people. ainsley: he could say i gave a little, i asked for you to be back in the g7, to be the g8. maybe you need to give me a little. brian: vladmir putin looks at any acquiescence as weakness. he only understands strength. our strength is our economy and military. we should put pressure on him that way. steve: 22 minutes before the top of the hour. jill nan has news. jillian: following a number of stories.

5:46 am
politics, right? it is also with what you're seeing, most expensive group therapy we've ever seen in this country. the fact all of this won't stop this nomination. he will move through. this is part of what you get when you have the process that you have as representative government. president won. everybody generally agrees t justice, judge kavanaugh is a smart man, he knows what he is doing. doing. this seems to be effort to gin up sport for the midterms. if there was actual policy support the democrats have you would not need to gin up support and enthusiasm. the other situation when it comes to what we need in this country, genuine, thoughtful, balanced, fair approach to justice that is what kavanaugh represents for the supreme court. this meltdown we've seen across the board. in general they really don't know what else to do because the
5:47 am
president is doing so well. ainsley: what did you think about the women's march writing their press release, sent it out without proofing it? quickly filled in the name within the body of the email, filled in kavanaugh's name, but in the subject, it said in response to donald trump's nomination of xx, forgot to fill in his name to the supreme court the women's march released following statement. trump's announcement today is death sentence for thousands of women. without even appears, if they write it in advance, no matter who they were going to pick, they would resist. >> other es did that. one group put out a release saying that judge kavanaugh would be awful because she opposes roe v. wade. there was a find and replace fail. like slot in the names. tells you they're not really thinking about individuals. here is what they're missing. president trump is persuadable person. they're not even making an effort to discuss these issues with him, to move in there, they rejected an offer to meet with him at the white house, some democrat senators. we have no interests, kamala
5:48 am
harris. harris. he is persuadable. that is one of my biggest concerns about him, he can be moved. democrats are choosing not to do that i contend because they want this instead. they want the division. and i would also suggest, maybe we're not as divided as the media and the left wants us to feel as though we are. brian: i get the sense the number of independents in this country will grow astronomically, people are getting distateful on both parties and cataclysmic theories and statements. both know they're foolhardy. i sense too, tammy, this is the wrong guy for senator schumer to say things i will do everything in my power to stop. he is screwing his democratic senators in red states. >> he has no real leverage because they have already indicated they're going to obstruct for the sake of
5:49 am
obstructing. then what do they expect if they succeed? who would be next? are you going to get amy barrett who would be excellent jurist? what do they expect? they need to engage, this is part of a process working together. for the midterms. i'm looking forward to president trump's third term and cyber president trump in 50 years. he could be replacing five supreme court justices. >> this is where you engage. country is benefiting even with their obstruction. imagine what we could accomplish if they work together with him. ainsley: tammy bruce. great job. filling in for tucker. >> i had a great time. brian: you're a natural. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. silicon valley jumping on board, one city's plan to give people $500 a month for doing nothing. our next guest has a better idea. do something like get a job? steve: check in with bill hemmer who has a job in 11 minutes. >> right on. latest from nato and the president all morning long. we'll not miss a beat from brussels and beyond. meanwhile brett kavanaugh on the

foreclosure capital, give them 500 bucks. mike slater lives in california. joins us from there now. mike, i remember the country of finland tried this universal income thing and it failed miserably. >> yeah. we should learn a lesson from finland, what a weird thing to say. this is terrible idea, as margaret thatcher said, the problem with socialism you eventually run out with other people's money. this is paid for privately. important thing to know, this is all laying the groundwork for the grand progressive dream which is guaranteed minimum income for everybody. we're talking, not 500 bucks a month, 20, 30, $40,000 a year. jerry brown, our governor is talking about that for decades. that is the ultimate goal. obviously who will pay for that? higher taxes, miserable for everybody. steve: somebody like jerry brown says we'll give everybody $20,000 a year, you don't have to do anything. somebody should say, excuse me,
