3:18 am
rhinos and elephants funneling the money to terror groups. putting poachers in their crosshairs with the same drone technology used to hunt down terrorists. here former special ops intel analyst and author of the book drone warriors brett velicovich. have you talked a lot about the drone technology how you use that technology in the military to hunt down terrorists. now you are using that technology to hunt down these poachers. explain that please. >> absolutely. i have missed you guys a bit but i have been gone for a woirt cause down in africa taking advanced u.s. technology and aa looking it to a serious problem. just to give you some context. the illegal illicit wildlife trade is worth 7 to $10 billion annually. it's very lucrative for poachers to go out there and kill elephants and take their tusks and smuggle them to countries outside of africa, to kill rhinos. even a ryan know horn alone
3:19 am
is worth more than its weight in gold. this is a serious problem that has far reaching consequences than simply just an ethical dilemma. , okay? it ruins livelihoods and destroys these ecosystems and organizations like al shabaab like isis outfit in somalia make a ton of money doing illegal poaching and funding their operations. it's a solution -- there is a solution out there of technology solution that can actually help combat this issue. ainsley: it's awful enough when you see these videos and watch these shows about what these elephants go to and these poachers do it in a brutal way. to also know they are selling the ivory and that's funding isis that's going on to kill americans and other people around the world? what kind of money are we talking about? >> so, researchers estimated that al shabaab was making at least half a million dollars per month from the ivory trade alone. that's a lot of money, obviously. to support their operations. it was supporting at one point at least 40% of their
3:20 am
operational funds. when these guys are conducting attacks, they are taking this money and using it for that. when you think about, for instance, a tusk on an elephant, that can be worth anywhere from 30 to $40,000 on the black market. and when you think about a poacher out there who makes the equivalent of 10 u.s. dollars day, that's a game changer for them. they are incentivized to do this work. they will brutally kill these elephants. they will hit them with poisoned tipped arrows and darts and then just watch them for 24 hours so they i ddie take these tusks. global epidemic. rampant with corruption. government officials in kenya and tanzania involved in the smuggling of this ivory out of the country. it's destroying these ecosystems. you know, i come from an environment where i was using drone technology to hunt some of the most dangerous terrorists on the planet and if you take that same technology, that same people, the same mind set

3:25 am
immigration status to enroll children in classes. many districts claim that they will fight the suit saying that they comply with the state and federal regulations. steve: meanwhile president trump slamming on twitter this week for allegedly silencing conservatives on its platform. the president tweeting, quote: twitter shadow banning prominent republicans. no good. we will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once. many complaints. vice news is now reporting twitter fixed that glitch overnight. brian: here to react social media stars and trump supporters diamond and silk who have also told us their issues with censorship on facebook. welcome, ladies, have you had -- diamond, if you want to answer this, you have had problems with twitter or is it just facebook? >> it's been problems with twitter but mostly on facebook. steve: explain how shadow banning works. >> shadow banning works like this when they go and search for you in the search box
3:26 am
you may not come up. >> right. >> or when you put your content out there it may not be seen. you can see it but other people can't see it other people can come to your page and your page won't load with your content on it that's the way shadow banning works. >> right. ainsley: that's frustrating when you try. you expect their name to pop up. if their name doesn't come up you have to know their exact twitter handle to put it in. what's happening conservatives like matt gaetz says if you search his name it doesn't come up. but if you click a democrats name they come up. you don't have to have exact twitter handle. what was your reaction when the president actually tweeted about this and now apparently something is getting done about it. >> i was very happy. we tweeted out to thank the president. >> yes. >> look at other social media platforms like facebook and youtube are doing the same thing. this is a form of censorship. you know, i call this the new jim crow day. >> that's right. >> back in the day you were discriminated based on the color of your skin.
3:27 am
now you are being discriminated against based on the color of your politics. new jim crow weaponizing their platform with algorithms to suppress the voices of conservatives and republicans of people that support the president. and this has got to stop. >> they are calling this some type of glitch or error. well, these are deliberate glitches and deliberate because affecting republicans. steve: the algorithm is the holy grail for each of these social media companies. it's how people are able to find things. they won't release how they are put together. but it does seem odd, ladies, doesn't it, that every time there is a glitch, it hurts a republican and not somebody from another political party. >> yes, it is odd. and that's how we know this is deliberate. this is a biased attempt to see you lens conservative voices. and, hey, these people are going to be have to be held -- we have to hold these people accountable. brian: exactly. this is what twitter said.
3:28 am
we don't shadow ban. we are aware some accounts are not automatically populated in search box and sthoipg address. this did i say shipping? meanwhile. the profiles tweets and discuss about these accounts appear when you search. doesn't make judgments on political views or the substance of tweets. the problem is people doubt that. steve: i don't even understand it. ainsley: they did use word shipping. >> these social media platforms need to stop being the arbitrator of true and false. when we don't want to look at fake news we change the panel. we don't get a third person to say is this fake? is this false? we turn the doggone channel. allow the consumers and viewers to dictate whoever they want to see. allow them to be able to see whoever they want to see instead of these social media platforms being a dictator of who they want them to see. >> right. brian: social media is committing suicide one by
3:29 am
one and losing faith in it one by one. diamond and silk thanks so much. ainsley: thanks, ladies. >> thanks for having us. brian: two minutes before the top of the hour and 32 minutes until the top of the hour. steve: whoa. brian: thank you. what happens when you try to steal an officer's gun. this guy found out the hard way.

3:34 am
fix our immigration system and control spending we haven't done that this is simple. make the job of being a member of congress way too difficult. it's really basic. what did you tell the voters you were going to do? let's do that. we haven't done enough of that we need to do more of that and help president trump make america great again and do the things we said. steve: let's talk about some things in the news this past week. 11 members of the house freedom caucus signed articles of impeachment, went into the house yesterday. they pretty much decided, you know what? we're not going to go forward with that i understand apparently behind the scenes the department of justice when they got that squeeze suddenly said we are going to produce more documents which is what you wanted to do in the first place. >> exactly. steve: why did you all take that tact. >> all we did was file it it's still there sent to the judiciary committee it can be brought up at any time. the only way we have gotten documents and information that we're entitled to get so the american people can get answers is when we put the pressure on them.
3:35 am
it's. steve: it worked. >> of course it worked. we have caught rod -- we sent letters back in november for information they didn't comply with. two subpoenas they haven't k34r50eud with we have caught the justice department trying to hide information from us, namely when they redacted the portion of at text message where it showed peter strzok was friends with one of the fisa court judges who happened to be the same federal judge who heard mike flynn's case. we know rod rosenstein, fox news reported this catherine herridge and gregg jarrett we know rod rosenstein has threatened staff members on the house intelligence any when they were trying to do that's the history. their jobs to get answers. that's the history. we have to continue to push or we'll not get information. brian: why does the investigative committee on the senate side said we don't need to impeach rod rosenstein. didn't have the same push that you did to get all these documents? why is that? have you talked to the senate. >> you have to ask elm. this all i know is two days ago when we had a meeting with the department of justice folks. start of the meeting first question for mr. goodlatte is why wouldn't peter strzok answer some of our questions in that hearing?
3:36 am
and mr. vonte said he should have answered about 90% of the questions congressman jordan had in that hearing. i'm like great, we know that now. it would have would have been nice to get the answers in the hearing. brian: the fbi told him not to answer it. >> told him not to answer at that time now they are saying he should have answered 90% of the questions i asked him. that's a problem. that's been the pattern there is a point where the frustration gets so high not just for us, more importantly for the american people that you have to use every means that you have at your disposal to get the information including contempt, including impeachment. ainsley: you knew when you sent this letter there would be criticism from the left. nancy pelosi came out and saying you are trying to impeach rod rosenstein because there is controversy you have been involved in she says. she says you are i doing this to divert allegations swirling around ohio state's wrestling program. explain what happened when you were the assistant coach. >> there i talked to all kind of my colleagues they can see through this story. this is something supposedly
3:37 am
happened 30 years ago. if there was in fact abuse we want people to get justice and truth to come out there. were hundreds of coaches. hundreds of administrators in that time period. no one ever reported any. certainly no one reported any to me if they had. there was no reason for you not to deal about it if you heard about it you are a student athlete athlete you want the best for them and be ready to compete and win if there was a problem. ainsley: doctor on the team supervising all of the wrestlers. >> like 14 different division one. brian: and he killed himself. >> yeah. steve: why did your name come up now? >> you are one of the assistant coaches and you are probably, i guess, the most high profile individual today, so it draws attention to what they're trying to do. the guy that is making the most noise has a criminal background and other guy in prison for 18 months. steve: you are saying they are trying to hurt you? >> look. you have to ask them. what i know is every single assistant coach has said the same thing i have. all kinds of wrestlers from come forward and said the same thing i have.
3:38 am
the reason they have said that because it's the truth. and all my colleagues speak to this story, we are focused on doing what we told the american people we would do making congress work so we can continue to help the president accomplish good things. brian: we don't know a lot of what robert mueller is doing. don't get that many leaks out. one mueller group group is looking into the president's tweets and how it might cohen side with some of the president's interviews with comey and company and how it might maybe look like collusion or coercion. >> they are looking into everything. one thing they are not fight find something any type of coordination and collusion between the trump campaign and russia. brian: does it show they are getting closer or desperate. >> who knows? what we know is this whole thing start wad dossier that was not credible. that we found out in the strzok hearings a couple weeks ago. this is the first time the fbi admitted this that they were getting parts of the dossier from bruce ohr. top official at the justifiable department who oh by the way wife worked for fusion who was being
3:39 am
paid by the clinton campaign. now, you cannot -- that is what is so bad about this. the fact that a top ranking justice official whose wife is working for the democrat paid opposition research form is giving information to the fbi and that becomes to the fbi and that becomes the basis that you take to the fisa court to start this the fisa court to start this whole affair and did you go to the court and don't tell the court who paid for it and don't tell the court the guy who wrote the whole thing christopher steele leaking information to the press. now we are looking at tweets the president did and somehow that's a problem? this is crazy. brian: i have to ask you something about being speaker. we know the freedom caucus is very conservative. if you are going to be a successful speaker, you have to get people in your own party maybe even dare i say the other party who don't necessarily have the same doctrine and belief they might be the moderates or the tuesday group. how do you do that? >> you look at process. right now a handful of people at the top who make all the decisions. that's not fair to the 435 members of the congress. not fair to the 240 members of the republican caucus. we all represent three quarters of a million people. when you have a couple people at the top making all the decisions and telling other members wait your term
3:40 am
and maybe some day we let you. enkeep voting with us and raising money for us we will let you be some subcommittee chair of some committee. that's not how it's supposed to work. there are members across this country great diverse nation who want to weigh in and represent the families back home of the people they get the privilege of serving. for example, nine committee chairman manships open next year. i don't think a few people at the top chairs those committee. why not let the people on the committee who have the expertise and talent to say this is the person who is best enabled, best capable of leading this committee to get accomplished the policy that we all campaigned on that we all told the american people we would do. ainsley: are you still getting shadow banned by the way. >> we were a couple days ago. i think they fixed it matt gaetz, mark meadows, devin nunes and jim jordan. how does the algorithm, did they put those four names in the algorithm. this is crazy. it's happening. mr. gates is fired up about it and the rest of us. brian: losing faith in the network television and
3:41 am
losing faith in social media. >> but not fox news. brian: i don't think so. steve: he would like to be the next speaker of the house jim jordan from the great state of ohio. ainsley: all the best. >> thank you. steve: president trump highlighting american jobs during his round table in iowa. >> and what we need is talented people preparing american workers for american jobs. we have added 3.7 million jobs. steve: that's impressive. well, our next guest was at the table when the president was talking and he says his business is booming. he's going to join us live next. ainsley: we told you about this. elected official kneeling during the pledge of allegiance. now one business owner in that town is taking a stand against her. you're going to hear from him coming up ♪ ♪ ♪ i won't back down ♪ hey, baby ♪ there ain't no easy way out ♪ i won't back down ♪

3:47 am
>> well, we don't mind training e necessarily. yeah, getting skilled workers is tough and the younger generations it's tough to get them to want to get their hands dirty and do kind of manual labor, you know. we don't see a lot of young guys jumping up and down to get in the trade. brian: wow. very interesting. brian: wow. because a lot of people say well, i was forced to go to college wasn't into it. come out hard to get a job with a philosophy or sociology degree maybe somebody would want it? >> right. brian: could you talk about the economy and how it's felt for the last year and a half? >> the economy, definitely has not been -- it's been fantastic. i mean, last year two of our three businesses set record years. this year the one i'm in, sheet metal is doing well. and like i told the president yesterday, the jobs.

4:04 am
that's one of the reasons why he has suggested a 12 billion-dollar fund to help anybody who does get hurt with the squeeze play that he is trying to use across the globe. ainsley: goal is zero tariffs. he made interesting points yesterday. he said i have been in the construction business. i know what steel looks like. when it's from our country it's the best steel in the world. sometimes when you get it from other countries it looks like steel it's garbage. it's important to biff american made steel. that's why he is excited about bringing jobs back. he said the old is gone and the new has come. listen. >> we're sending a message to our foreign competitors, the days of plundering american jobs and wealth, those days are over.

[cheers] steve: america's g.d.p. numbers is going to come out 90 minutes from right now. the president also was talking a little bit about how he has a feeling it's going to be a really gigantic number. it's going to be a big number. people have been talking about it for a while. the people who were there really didn't care about the g.d.p. ultimately they cared about jobs. jobs. a lot of them had jobs now because of the actions of the administration. there is a fellow who we believe his name is tony. and he was caught during an interview on facebook live with one of the ntsb correspondents from ounbccorrest neck of the woods. he was emotional about what the president has done for him and his family. >> what does it mean for your family and friends -- to know that you are back at work. >> that we have got -- >> what is the one thing that you will take with from you his speech and from the moment today? >> sounds like we're going

4:07 am
is allowing him to be back, to give his family, give them t food. to say give them a chance to go to college. whatever it is. to pay your bills. that is stressful when you can't pay your bills or when you are in debt. and i think this president, at least for that industry, or for people in the midwest or farmers, i know farmers are worried about the tariffs and trade and all of that i think it's just giving people a hope that we're going to get our jobs back. the coal industry, we have seen that now in the steel industry. and you know, it's america first. it's great to hear that message. brian: all right. also traditionally unions have been saying hey, stop with the free trade. you are killing us. and they have been saying that for decades first president ha that goes i have to rebalance trade. unions don't know what to do traditionally they write the checks to the democratic candidate. steve: how many democrats are going to vote for donald trump in re-election in critical swing states. brian: you might have watched roseanne last night on sean hannity. it was some so come compelling. i sensed they decided to go
4:08 am
with roseanne for the entire show. tonight more with roseanne. ainsley: supposed to have jim jordan on because he wants to be speaker of the house. he said at the top of the show we have him on and save that interview for tomorrow because this was so compelling u. steve: as you remember go back a couple of months. she got fired from abc from her hit tv show after she sent out absolutely racist tweet. last night with sean, she did apologize in a wide ranging interview and she said it all started with a big misunderstanding. it was a big mistake. listen. >> i was so sad that people thought it was racist. and then i went in to the whole thing about the whole discussion of racism and that blew my mind because so much a part of what this show i was doing was about. and i'm like why can i not see my work. and then i got really messed up thinking in this world it seems that the words matter
4:09 am
more than actions. but in the real life world, actions matter more than words. and my actions over 30 years as an artist and a comedian. i have always been against the abuse of power towards all marginalized groups. but now i feel like both the left and the right have marginalized the middle. and it's just too crazy. and the thing that broke my heart the most, i have to say, this is that i have african-american children in my family. brian: she was all over the place. sean did an unbelievable job trying to keep her on track because she would have multiple answers to one single question. and after a while i'm thinking to myself what was the question? but sean kept it on track for the best he could. she obviously is going through an emotional spiral since the devastating tweet. steve: we asked you what you thought about the interview last night with sean. mary emailed us i believe roseanne was sincere. i also believe she is sorry
4:10 am
for what she said. and how it was perceived. i have to give her a lot of credit for having the courage to go on sean's show. ainsley: gary said you make a racist statement then you are accountable for the words that come out of your mouth, period. something that words matter. brian: marlene said this roseanne is human like us. she made a mistake. she deserves a second chance. your fans love you roseanne. just so you know on ambien, 2:00 in the morning. she says i can't drink a lot. i had a couple of beers. that played into it. steve: of course now she does not have her tv show. it sounds like abc is going to go with a new show called the conners which is a spinoff. when asked how much abc paid her for the right to do the spinoff she said i can't talk about that. ainsley: she said she was sorry. said she deserved to lose her job. she felt badly for the people that lost their jobs as a result of her tweet. she is glad the show is coming back and hopefully some of her friends will have work again. she had battled her demons.
4:11 am
clearly she has gone through a lot of things that most of us haven't gone through. multiple personalities, she says she has been in therapy most of her life. talked about her family holocaust survivors, what they went through. she supports israel. she said she thought valerie jarrett was -- she thought she was wrong for being involved in writing the iran nuclear deal. iran obviously doesn't support israel. so she said she had a big problem with that and she gave her life at 3 years old to her faith. she said it's important to her. brian: at 3 years old? ainsley: 3 years old. it was just beaten into her she said from her parents about what they had gone through in the holocaust. and so you have to feel sorry for her for all of that and her family and what they went through. she didn't want to get into detail because she didn't want to share what she had done. she says she has repented. she has given money to african-american -- to the african-american community to say that she is sorry. and ask for forgiveness. she said she would like to go on the road with valerie
4:12 am
jarrett and they could talk about their differences. brian: go on the road. that's the answer to one question. that was how the interview went. that was after hello. steve: 7:11 in new york and jillian has more headlines. jillian: we are following a fox news alert right now and what's believed to be the remains of 55 u.s. service members killed during the korean war flown out of north korea. they are now on the ground in south korea. president trump tweeting overnight, quote: the remains of american servicemen will soon be leaving north korea and heading to the united states after so many years this will be a great moment for so many families. thank you to kim jong un. the remains will be honored at a ceremony in south korea on wednesday before being sent to hawaii for identification. president trump's exlawyer michael cohen now claims the president knew about the controversial meeting at trump tower with the russian lawyer back in 2016. according to multiple reports, cohen says he was in the room when donald trump jr. told then candidate trump about the meeting in which a russian lawyer was promising dirt on
4:13 am
hillary clinton. cohen claims the president approved of moving forward. cohen now reportedly willing to tell special counsel mueller his version of the events. president trump has repeatedly denied knowing about the meeting in advance. we have another fox news alert. a state of emergency in california as explosive wildfires burn out-of-control. a bulldozer operator is dead and three firefighters are hurt fighting the car fire in the northern part of the state. outside los angeles, the cranston fire burning dozens of homes, forcing thousands to evacuate. believing that fire was intentionally set by this man brandon mcglover. is he expected of starting four other fires. that's a look at your headlines and certainly keep you updated on all of those stories. steve: that's terrible. coming up. brian: meanwhile a top iranian general sending a warning to president trump quote you will start the war but we will finish it closed quote. daniel hoffman says iran won't win this fight. he knows. he will join us next.

superior. what the iranians mean, they will fight with us a symmetric warfare. that's cyber attacks. they have done that on our banks. they attack routinely our defense firms to steal missiles and other technology for their space program. they also mount attacks using their proxy militants in places like lebanon and iraq. they would take those actions against us. they also launched an attack in paris when the mayor, mayor giuliani was making a speech at the mek rally. that was to demonstrate to us that they can launch those sorts of attacks and hurt our people that way, too. our officials. they have done that routinely throughout their history. at the end of the day our military can handle the iranians, but they are so nervous right now about having, for example, ambassador bolton who has been a propony negligent of regime change in the government i think they feel like they need to have some strong words against us. steve: okay. well, they are using them. >> yes, they are. steve: thank you very much. great analysis. thank you, sir. ainsley: talk about a wild escape. how did this prisoner end up

times." >> i can't believe it. steve: saying trump wins. >> i actually agree with the "new york times" here. look, it's a pretty obvious prediction if you look at the trajectory both parties are on. republican party has rightfully become the party of donald trump which is about results, middle america, energy independence and jobs. and you look at the democrat party they are becoming the party of karl marx. so, what are the most radical socialist ideas that we can possibly embrace. bret hits the nail on the head here. over a long period of time people will dismiss a lot of this nonsensical media chatter and say my life is better than it was before donald trump was president and things are improving. steve: just like once upon a time it was it's the economy, stupid. when you look at the message the republicans are going to have. you a couple thousand extra dollars in everybody's pocket whereas the democrats' message is we want to keep those couple thousand dollars in the coffers at the u.s. federal treasury. >> so the democrats' message is let's make government bigger and take more of your money away and somehow there

years not sure how to handle them that's why he will convincingly win re-election. steve: interesting prediction in the op-ed who they predicted his opponent would be. and it it was elizabeth warren. >> with sherrod brown. steve: have ohio that way. >> interestingly, i can agree. can i see that's the directions the democrat party is going. they consider elizabeth warren to be a moderate pick now between the more very, very far left wing bernie sanders and the more kind of moderate democrats. they think that elizabeth warren is a more moderated way to bring the party together. and i think bret's prediction would be accurate there that just goes to show how out of touch the democratic party has become with middle america. >> are you saying that the "new york times" got something right with this prediction? >> well, i would like to think so. this will is a lot of work left to do. we still have the mid terms ahead of us and the president is going to continue to win. in a couple years from now why will be able toly list off more accomplishments than today. president is about results. america is a much better

4:44 am
site or it's also called shadow banning you have heard. president trump even vowing an investigation saying this on twitter. shadow banning prominent republicans not good. we will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once. many complaints. vice news is reporting that twitter has fixed the issue. next gress profile was originally affected. she even sent twitter a letter two months ago asking them to explain their practices. the rnc chairwoman rhona ronna|1 mc |0 daniel joins us live. hey, ronna, thanks for joining us. >> hey, ainsley, thanks for having me we had you on with brad par school. trump's campaign manager. you sent a letter to social media sites asking them to explain why republicans were being shadow banned and democrats were not. did you ever hear back from them? >> we didn't. and so we were on your show when we put that letter out because we wanted that public forum because we were concerned about it twitter never responded to letter
4:45 am
that proved republican congressman, leaders in our party verified on twitter were being blocked from users trying to find their profiles. then the president tweeting yesterday and now, of course, they are coming to the table. i think they still have more work to too to clear up why were conservatives being banned? why are they using shadow banning? and this is important to all of their users. it's important to our political dialogue that the thought police of silicon valley are not determining what voices get through on their social media platform. ainsley: you have been on our show complaining about it brad par schoo journalist jordan. diamond and silk have faced this with facebook and with twitter. >> yeah. ainsley: did they reach out to you last night and say we fixed the problem? >> they reached out to us yesterday. we had a conversation with them. they said they didn't understand why it happened. it didn't have to do us being republican.
4:46 am
it was the behaviors of our accounts. well, i don't understand that. if it's the behavior of our account, why is it only republicans that are having this problem? and what type of behavior? i'm a police dog figure. i don't have really dangerous behavior on my twitter account. nothing that would prompt them to shadow ban me. so, i don't think their explanation is going far enough. and it is very concerning because conservative users are using these platforms. we are paying for advertising on many of these platforms. i want to know what is your process. be transparent. you owe that to your users to let us know that our voices will not be suppressed because you don't like what we think. ainsley: well, it's just annoying. because, if you are putting out a tweet and i, let's say i wanted to include you in the tweet and i start typing in your name, normally it pops up. and if you are a prominent individual, your name is going to pop up. and that's what's happening. democrats their names are popping up. but if i start typing out your name, it doesn't pop up. and, that is not only annoying, but it's not fair. and this is what twitter
4:47 am
said. they said we do not shadow ban. we are aware that some accounts are not automatically populating in our search box and shipping a change to address. this the profiles, tweets and discussions about these accounts do appear when you search for them. to be clear, our behavioral ranking doesn't make judgments based on political views or the substance of tweets. is that good enough for you, rhona. >> no, i just don't think >> no, i just don't think it's transparent enough. because it's only republicans that this is happening to. my dnc counterparts not happening to him. and as you said, when you type in ron rhon ronnamc daniel. they have to address that they're allows free speech on their platforms and they are not suppressing conservative voices and opinions. just because they don't agree with them. ainsley: you think think are finally addressing it because the president tweeted yesterday. >> i think the president is the biggest user of twitter.
4:48 am
i think he has helped make their platform grow and become even more relevant. they need to address it i think he brought their attention to the problem and i'm very thankful for president trump for doing that. ainsley: okay, ronna thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. ainsley: geraldo rivera, kennedy, stuart varney are all here live as colleges move further and further to the left. one professor has a radical idea, shut them all down. that professor will join us live to explain next. but, first, on this day in history, in 1789, the u.s. state department was established. and that then in 1974, the house began the impeachment of president richard nixon. and then in 1965, the rolling stones were topping the charts with their hit song: i can't get no satisfaction ♪ ♪ ♪

brian: from protests and riots over guest speakers to free speech fights. college campuses has seen their fair share of issues am i right? new call to shut down universities all together and coming from a professor in college. depauw university professor jason hill rights in his book our universities risk losing their status as learning sites and becoming national security threats. we need to defund them, disband and rebuild them with conservative principles. he is the author of a brand new book we have overcome. immigrant's letter to the american people and depauw university professor dr. jason hill joins us right now. dr. hill, was this the case 22 years ago when you came here? here? >> i don't think so. i mean, i think, you know, you could go on campus and there were always hiss and
4:53 am
boos. but, we lived back then in an environment where students came out to hear speakers with whom they disagreed. they shook hands with them afterwards and all parties departed amicably with civility sometimes with speakers we disagreed with and had a drink with them. there was none of this hostility and vitriol that we are now seeing on campuses. brian: you write in western sizzles some of these kids, some students refuse to study john locke or other white thinker because they consider them to be white supremacist. how can you refuse to study such universal thinkers as that? >> this is the thing. they are getting this from many of their professors. what we have today is reason, rational argumentation. western can and itself are being taught that these students and teachers
4:54 am
methods expel ideas are constructs of imperialist white civilization meant to suppress minorities and people of color. so they are a construct used to liberty minorities lightman project. reason. freedom of association. free speech these very ideas themselves are being taught as tools of oppression by the far left our universities. brian: professor, you talk about this country is flourishing. you talk about all the good things how it's being misportrayed right now. we are painting a portrait of american rife with racial and ethnic divisions where minorities are mired in poverty worse than slavery and white people stand at the top of the unfairly stacked pyramid of privilege. a lot of people believe. that will do you? >> i do not. i think we live in an age of what i call in my book america phobia. i think that since the third founding in america, which i describe as the passage of
4:55 am
the 1964 act. we have seen where minorities have made tremendous moments of equality and tremendous moments of flourishing in this country. and where immigrants themselves, such as myself and i tell the untold stories of many immigrants in this country have come to this country and seen not bigotry and injustice but a country lined with gold and taken advantage of the opportunities in this country and flourished remarkably. brian: jason, what do you say to people right now a conservative professor who just wants his point of view on campus? what do you say to that? >> i say i myself of the evidence of utter stupidity of that viewpoint. look at the immigrants and black americans flourishing in this country. look at the way our students are failing in universities. look at the enormous fees that they are paying and coming out with semi literate skills, unable to find jobs. look at the way they exist in their curated silos in
4:56 am
which they are never ever challenged beyond the perspective, the limited perspective that they are absconced and ask if that's the world you want your children to grow up. i want a fair and balanced perspective. brian: you are at the point where you say shut down. 20 seconds, final thoughts? >> i think the federal government and donors should stop funding these universities unconditionally. we need a fixed condition if you are going to fund these universities they need to get a fair and balanced education where conservative viewpoints advocating american principles, capitalism, individualism, self-reliance are also taught side by side with these marxist principles. brian: we have met the enemy and it's us. congratulations on your book "we have overcome" professor jason hill, thank you so >> thank you for having me. brian: coming up straight ahead in final hour this man named geraldo rivera who looks exactly like that picture. plus he is an mma fighter

5:03 am
that. >> it made perfect sense. it tied in with this bigger message that it's the economy people. he was there to talk about steel. he was in granite city illinois and he was hoping to hit much higher than 3% while he was running and now they're saying it could hit 5%. that would be an comparable. he is hoping the number stick for an entire year. >> he said after years of shutdowns and cutbacks the furnaces are blazing right here in granite city. >> he said i think it's going to be a great number, will know in 27 minutes. meanwhile, here is the president. watch this. >> you will have very big numbers announced tomorrow.
5:04 am
gdp numbers, i don't know what they are but i think they're going to be terrific. somebody actually predicted today 5.3. i don't think that's going to happen, 5.3. if it has a number four in front of it were happy. if it has a three but it's 3.8, 3.9, 3.7, we are okay, but these are unthinkable numbers. >> is just amazing. 92% of the stories from the main network that everybody gets on the cable, whether it's directv or anything else, 92% are negative. but the thing that has the president's numbers going up, there above were president obama's were and now it's 45% in most polls because of the economy. not what we say it is but help people feel it is. >> that's the biggest reason they probably voted for him. that and immigration.
5:05 am
what's cool is when they talk to these workers who were out of work for years, you hear their stories, that's what matters to america. we all grew up in towns like that. we appreciate and love these individuals. there was a guy walking out of the rally yesterday and i think he was wearing a hard he got his job back. you have to listen to this pretty said he was so emotional wiping the tears away because he loves this president and loves the fact that he was out of work for years and now he is in. >> what does it mean to be back at work. >> it's great. >> what will you take from his speech today. >> the economy is looking good.
5:06 am
it's a nice number. it's up for a lot of things. >> i didn't work for two and half years. >> you had one thing he wanted to say to everybody about what president trump said what you want people to know. >> man of steel, that's funny. a couple months ago he started talking about how were going to do something about the unfair trade around the world and suddenly the establishment washington and elsewhere is talking about how you can't start a trade war, this can be bad for everybody. it's guys like tony right there for the president has talked about we gotta do something about steel and aluminum, this can be a little pain in the beginning, but ultimately america will wind up with a better deal and that particular plan, in granite city illinois, come two or three months from now they're actually going to be hiring 500 more employees because the
5:07 am
demand is taking off. >> people are worried about cars and the farmers were extremely worried, the dairy areas on speaker ryan, the worried about how this is it will be an extremely tense it will be an extremely tense time. it will either be a band and pull people forward or if these trade deals don't start coming in, people will get panicky because the other countries are targeting trump voters like that. >> the president has gone around to all these different countries and met with these different dictators are leaders and he keeps saying put america first, we trust america and american workers. yesterday when he was speaking, i didn't grow up in a construction site, he said i grew up in construction site, i know how important steel is. he said if we get steel from other countries a lot of times it's garbage. and when you try to build properties with this garbage
5:08 am
junk than it collapses or it's not as well-made as it is we buy from america. >> there will be some pain in certain industries like brian was talking about. yesterday his delegation heard from someone in congress who represent suburban district and some tool makers impacted by the aluminum and i said just hold on. >> everybody in the country should sacrifice bourbon and share it. >> last night sean hannity, we talked about his show because roseanne barr was going to be on his show. she was responding about that we that ended up losing her job and show and affecting the lives of her staff. this is a little bit on what we saw last night. >> they were saying it was racial when it was political.
5:09 am
then everybody started saying i was a racist and i have apologized and explained and asked for her forgiveness and i paid the price for it. i wish i had worded it better, but i'm not going to let them tell me what i meant. i'm not a racist in the people who voted for trump isn't racist and trump isn't a racist either. when things are going to far right i will go (when things are going left all go a little) like the middle opinion that balances to extremes. most people in america think like that. >> she said i want people to like me, i don't want them to hate me. >> i could not even follow. she had trouble stringing two or three thoughts together. i give shawn tremendous credit to answer questions and she
5:10 am
would answer the question and run into for about things that have trouble keeping up. i feel she is truly sorry for what she said and has paid her dues for her mistake. >> gary tweeted this. >> you make a racist statement and you are accountable for the words that come out of your mouth. # words matter. >> the left can say and do what they want. one sorry was enough, she shouldn't have to go on about it. what do you think? we read the e-mail all day long and the tweets and the facebook as well. >> she also thanks we should get a haircut. >> she shouldn't of said that part i i wish she would love said that. she said she didn't like valerie's hair and she should get a haircut. then she started talking about
5:11 am
sean's hair. >> she said she was a comedian. is there a strange talk about hair? >> no. >> i wonder what she would say about our hair. now i'm curious. >> good morning. happy friday. happy friday. we have some news we are following on the west coast. a state of emergency in california as explosive wildfires burn out of control. a bulldozer operator is dead and three firefighters are hurt fighting the par fire in the northern part of the state. strong winds creating prior tornadoes, powerful enough to flip cars. an official says the fire is destroying everything in its path. outside l.a. another fire forcing thousands to evacuate. michael cohen claims the president knew about a russian meeting at the trump tower. according to multiple reports he said he was in the room

5:18 am
things like release that secret tape. it was unethical of him to tape the client and them for he and maybe his attorney to release it to the public, i think very, very significant. if they're willing to do that they're willing to do just about anything. >> in terms of the meeting, very specifically. the one who has had the most legal peril is don junior, remember he testified to congress, if he testified congress under oath that the president did not know of the meeting and he has a tape that says he did know the meeting and done junior has lied. >> who has more credibility. >> i think michael cohen also
5:19 am
went in front of congress and sworn oath and i'm sure he didn't say that don senior knew about don junior's meeting. here's what he said i did not know about the meeting with my son don junior. sounds like someone is try to make up stories to get himself out of an unrelated jam, taxicabs may be, even pain bill and hillary's cricket lawyer but i wonder if they help to make that choice. there's a theory out there help to make that choice. there's a theory out there that rudy giuliani is trying to diminish the hand of michael cohen and it was the trump team that released the information. davis is on information thing we didn't do it. what you think. >> when we go through it again. to take, to take that tape was unethical and to leak it is a criminal offense and it's certainly a desirable event for michael cohen the attorney. i really do believe the recklessly broad scope of the southern district of this investigation plus the muller probe, you can't tell what could happen. for example, if president trump knew of the meeting in
5:20 am
trump tower, if he did, let's say he knew of the meeting and approved of the meeting and then got some information or something else the value from the meeting that he used against hillary clinton, that could be collusion. whether or not it's illegal, it could be ca campaign finance violation but in the broadness of the scope of possibilities, michael cohen does represent, for all his sleaziness, a threat to the president. >> you also know they are interviewing the cfo of the trump organization in this grand jury on michael cohen which got hunted by robert muller to the southern district. will he look to take it back? i'll talk to on radio. you don't have to address is here. straight ahead, while you were sleeping, remains of service members flying home from north korea. this could be the most significant accomplishments for our troops and victory day
