3:01 am
having breakfast at a philadelphia coffee shop. we don't want to play the victim card here. that's what the left does all the time. >> this is maxine waters' america. >> a musical protest right outside the protest ♪ can you feel a brand new day ♪ we're just getting warmed up ♪ just getting started ♪ already fired up ♪ yeah, the party. brian: i always thought this was luke bryan. man was i mistaken, jason aldean. steve: that's the great thing about opening up out show whoever is singing we put their name in the corner. ainsley: can you download the music and i often do that the president is up and tweeting this morning. steve: he is indeed, ainsley. it's a fox news alert. we are going to be talking about this. the president tweeted just about 20 minutes ago, the iran sanctions have officially cast as of midnight. these are the most biting sanctions ever imposed. in november they ratchet up to yet another level.
3:02 am
anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states of america. i am asking for world peace, and nothing less. brian: that's interesting. because the european union saying wait a second, we are going to keep this deal intact. are they? sooner or later it's going to be, can you decide, i want to invest in iran or do business with america. you make the call. ainsley: first set of economic sanctions took effect at midnight. targets the automotive sector, the purchase of commercial planes and metals, the second round on november 4 o 4th. we woke up griff. he was in sunday sleep. ainsley: 20 minutes ago. brian: and griff got dress you had. griff, cure tell us what these sanctions means? >> it means they are feeling the effect in tehran. the sanctions effectively end the iran deal. the president is saying he is open to negotiations. this was president rouhani's
3:03 am
action. >> what's the meaning of negotiations when you impose sanctions at the same time? it's like someone pulling a knife, stab a rival or an enemy in the arm while at the same time claiming we should be talking and negotiating. >> rouhani also said he is willing to meet with the president without preconditions as long as he gets apology and compensation. as you note european leaders broadly oppose out action. as the president urged all allies to join his maximum measure campaign. officials say this is not about to bring about regime change but regime behavior. senator lindsey graham says it's a good start. >> donald trump is telling the world business community and europeans, you cannot do business with this murderous regime and have access to u.s. markets. over time this will work. you are on the right track, president trump. >> nancy pelosi blasting the move calling it counter productive it diminishes
3:04 am
america's credibility and erodes our relationship with nato and allies and sets back a path toward a more stable region and peaceful non-eye nucleanonnuclear future. another round as noted by out president will go into effect in november that will target the oil sector and central bank. this is just getting started. steve: it did at midnight. griff, thank you very much. so in may the president took us out of the iran nuke deal. now this morning the remaining parties to the iran deal, russia, china, the united kingdom, france, germany and the eu have all announced that they will continue to work to keep the financial channels with iran open. and they also hope to keep the exports and import of oil and gas. however, as brian pointed out a little while ago, eventually they are going to have to choose. you want to stand with the iranians? or do you want to stand with the united states of america? so, right now, with those people trying to make that choice are looking for, they
3:05 am
are looking for loopholes. ainsley: this is a different administration. the past administration was giving them money, billions of dollars. a lot of that money was used to you support terrorist organizations and mike huckabee talks about the difference in this administration and how dangerous the iranian leader is. >> they are a rogue regime. they have killed americans. they have kidnapped americans. they have sponsored terrorism around the world. and it's time for them to be accountable for that and pay the price. unless the regime is changed, the behavior won't change. but the proper avenue to see that change is not for the u.s. to go in and intervene and overthrow that government. it's for the people to do it. they almost did it in 2009. the green movement walls an uprising. they were looking for just a little bit of encouragement for the united states and president obama was absolutely stone-cold silent, didn't say a word as 20-year-old women were bleeding in the street from gunshot wounds to the head. that's why this regime is
3:06 am
embolden. brian: there's a couple of things, too. as griff mentioned in november it gets worse because we start going on their main source income. we go after their oil. the output is going to be put in half. why will make it up between russia, saudi arabia and us. we will keep the market flooded so the price of gas stays low. what's happening as late as over the weekend the uprisings are taking place not because of america or organization. these are farmers and shop keepers and taxi drivers are saying we hate the life that we have. and beginning to say that we are no longer blaming the u.s., the great satan. they are not buying it they are beginning to blame their own government. as they scrammibl scramble to bd on the market. last week they tried to take $350 million out of their bank in hamburg, germany and the central bank of germany said no, we are not allowing that. these are the type of things to squeeze a regime to hold
3:07 am
back on their cash that would really start hindering them from doing so. antics that they are doing in syria, hezbollah and hamas. steve: squeezing the whole country. the people are despretty. real as plummeted since january. the people, if they are sick of it, they will demand a regime change that, mike huckabee says, while not the official goal of the united states would create change. ainsley: he laid it out how they support terrorism, how they capture americans. how they are dismembering syria. they put on israels death to israel. they chant death to america. brian: lindsey graham spent the weekend golfing with the president. his mind set is the president's mind set. steve: that went into effect at midnight. let's talk a little bit about today. the president of the united states wants ron vitiello to head up ice. brian: good move. steve: he was with us last
3:08 am
week. tom homan retired after many decades. mr. i have th vitiello is state-of-the-arted in the you -e continues to work at ice ultimately his goals is to enforce the laws of the united states as dictated by congress. ainsley: an immigrants originally from italy is now run foorg congressional seat. you know him as the actor. he has been on on our show a lot. he is running against julia brownley. she is the incumbent. he says we need to put america first and americans first. listen to this. >> i came to the united states tunitedstates as legal i. build a nice wall wall human trafficking, drug trafficking and so much more coming to our country. walls do work and america needs one. more than ever we need a wall, a new wall with an door. put americans first.
3:09 am
steve: because is he a conservative out in hollywood, he has been viciously attacked. he has lost a lot of work because he is a conservative. but, nonetheless, got to stand up for what he believes. and he says i'm an immigrant but i think we need the president's wall. brian: one of the founding mothers of the anti-trump movement is rosie o'donnell. she is one the first people that's not liked the president when he was just hosting the apprentice. she said he would never win and become president. now she has all these theories president's popularity is because of the russians. she actually went out and said one of the reasons he gets big crowds is because he pays them. look at the ads. he pays them like we do extras in movies. that's a lot of money. steve: rosy loaded up a bus and took 06 performers down to the white house. lafayette square across from the white house. essentially they wanted to raise their voices against the president of the united states he's depicted by
3:10 am
cartoon character there. here's the problem the president is about 250 miles away in bedminster, new jersey, so he missed the show. ainsley: is he closer to have the actual broadway performances in new york than there. steve: they were singing in protest but the songs were beautiful songs. they are broadway songs. listen. ♪ climb every mountain ♪ can you feel a brand new day ♪ can you feel a ♪ brand new day. brian: even if you life church the president, have you got to say. ainsley: i like that protest. brian: normally you have to pay $500 to protest. ainsley: stand in front of the white house and get the broadway production.
3:11 am
they sang le mis and sound of music. steve: the stongs were beautiful. nonetheless they were there to protest the president and rosie o'donnell doesn't like him. >> should not be president. and i don't believe that he is a legitimate president. what he does is denigrate the most vulnerable. i think most of america wants him to be out. >> you believe the actual outcome was rigged or just that there were efforts? >> yes. yes. no, i do believe it was rigged. this man is like a joke. i believe that trump is loathed in america. that people are embarrassed and ashamed of who he is. that come election day, we are going to stand up at the polls and let him know. brian: go back to 2016 when she said there is no way he will ever win. okay. so she goes on to say that the reason why his popularity is going up, i guess she indicates are the russians. i gets russians are upping his popularity. people who voted for him are horrible people.
3:12 am

particular part of this particular issue? >> no. government should not get involved with this. this is not a simple situation. this is a very difficult thing. you have religion involved. you have people's mind set involved. there's a lot of different things that factor over here. the level of someone's employee is it a manager? is it a simple worker? you know, there are a lot of factors here. they are stepping in and saying you have to do this. that's not right. steve: if the governor signs it, you have got to give somebody three months off paid. >> do you know what's scary, too? -- steve: you go out of business? >> job if i will go out of business it will certainly hurt and cause me to cut back on some staff. it will cause me to probably raise prices so i can cover this bubble payroll. it's not right. steve: let's see what the governor does. thank you. >> thank you. steve: what do you think about that? email us at friends@foxnews.com. video unbelievable. the darr slam car slams into a w

michael cohen as far as we can tell to contradict the president. ainsley: is there crime here or conspiracy? >> i don't know the answer to that but, unfortunately, a lot of these statutes are written to make it easier for the government to convict. if there was an agreement to receive dirt on hillary from the russians, even if the dirt never came, if those who agreed, at least one of them, took some step in furtherance of the agreement, then there is the potential crime for conspiracy. but it doesn't appear that the president was among them. brian: how would they even know that? >> well, that's for mueller either to drop or to figure out from asking people that were involved. brian: he hasn't talked to don jr. does that tell you the level of interest? >> i don't know. don jr. has testified under oath before congress that is theoretically secret. my guess is bob mueller knows that so he know what is don jr. told the congress and we don't know what he told them. my guess is he has been consistent throughout that his father didn't know about this until the news was
3:49 am
broken by the "new york times" a year later. steve: speaking of bob mueller it, sounds like the trump team is getting closer to a decision. john roberts just broke some of that information within the last couple of hours. >> i am -- my hat is off to rudy giuliani's patience because it seems like every time there is an agreement, bob mueller wants to move, i will use a kilmeade met for. bob mueller wants to move the goal post. i would basically say mr. president, we're not going to let you anywhere near bob mueller. he knows a lot more about this case. he has interviewed a lot more witnesses. when the government wants to talk to you, mr. president, it's to help the government. it's not to help you. i think rudy has been giving that very sound advice to the president but the president, because he said publicly so many times i want to tell my story. this is not the forum for him to tell his story. he should just tell the american people i want to tell the story burr the lawyers have advised me -- steve: if there is a subpoena. >> if there is a subpoena
3:50 am
let the court call it the president may have a very good argument the can't force his testimony. brian: bill clinton testified he got impeached anyway. judge: brian the testimony bill clinton gave which he agreed to do not only under oath in front of a camera undermined him radically. i don't think trump is going to make that mistake and rudy giuliani, very, very smart and experienced when it comes to these things is going to let that happen. all the best guys. ainsley: you too. steve: straight ahead, hollywood wants to do permanent damage to president trump's star on the walk of fame. what they just did overnight that could remove it from that particular street. brian: 50's the president i would remove it myself. ainsley: todd piro getting the pulse of the nation we will hear from him coming up next. ♪ r-o-c-k in the u.s.a.

4:02 am
these are the most biting sanctions ever imposed and in november they ratchet up to yet another level. anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states. i am asking for world peace, nothing less. steve: all right. what does this all mean now griff jenkins joins us live in our nation's capital. griff it, all started seven hours ago. >> that's right, good morning, guys. president rouhani is feeling that bite this morning as president trump effectively ends the obama era iran deal but saying he is open to negotiations. here is how rouhani reacted. >> what's the meaning of negotiations when you impose sanctions at the same time? it's like someone pulling a knife or stab a rival or enemy in the arm while at the same time claiming we should be talking and negotiating. >> rouhani also says is he willing to meet with the president without preconditions as long as he gets an apology and compensation. now european leaders broadly oppose the move as the president urged all nations
4:03 am
to join his maximum pressure campaign intended to change regime behavior. senator lindsey graham says this is a good start. >> donald trump is telling the world business community and the europe peeps, you cannot do business with this murder rus regime and have access to u.s. markets. over time this will work stay tough, president trump, you are on the right track. >> across the aisle the reaction from house minority leader nancy pelosi blasting the move calling it a counter productive action only diminishing america's international credibility. eroding our relationships with our nato and eu allies and sets back the path toward a more stable region and peaceful nonnuclear future. these are the first sanctions. they target precious metals in the auto sector. another round will come targeting the oil sector and central bank. steve: those will get even tougher. by the way president rouhani says the united states is owes iran an apology for
4:04 am
pulling out of the deal. ainsley: and wants them to pay them back. brian: wants apologies for everything they claim we have done ever back to the 1950s. so i'm sure the president is just jotting that down now putting it in a big card. steve: meanwhile, we know that come november one of the top issues on both sides going to be immigration. we're going to tell you about a democrat who is a governor candidate. his name is david garcia. he was at the net roots convention in new orleans. he said imagine no wall on the southern border of arizona. keep in mind, he is running for governor of arizona. brian: he wants to put that john lennon's imagine. i'm not sure if that's going to resonate with the people of arizona. it does resonate with the netroots crowd. he wants to run for president.
4:05 am
that's the rhetoric you heard borders are down and ice is out. ainsley: listen to what he said to that group. >> i want to just take a second and imagine. let's just imagine. [applause] just imagine no wall. no wall in southern arizona. [applause] steve: it's not the first time that he has suggested an anti-border agenda. he did not want the national guard involved in the family separation on our southern border. he has called for the replacement of ice with something which he describes as actually works. and he does not like the arizona border strike force, which he says in arizona is a ploy to use immigration as political tool to continue fear. that particular strike force was started by governor doocy to stop the crime from entering into mexico into arizona. and so far it has worked. brian: what i don't get is that the polls show that you might debate the wall or the fence, but nobody 8 out of

10 americans wants border security. why politically does he think that that is advantageous position let alone what he thinks. ainsley: talk to the people who live near the border where these individuals, many of them criminals come across the border into their property and they are fearful. brian: meanwhile, earlier today, we brought on charlie kirk and candace owens. together they decided to do this radical thing, have breakfast in philadelphia. the birthplace of america where they actually rang true with the declaration of the independence. they were spotted by antifa people also having breakfast. a whistle goes off. bull horns are out. next thing you know they were being harassed. thank goodness the cops were there. ainsley: that's video of them walking out of restaurant. they saw antifa sitting at the table sitting next to them. they are antifa. they are going to mind their business we are going to mind our business. they called their friends.
4:07 am
their friends gather outside with bull horns and whistles. can you see right in their faces. steve: charlie was doused with a bottle of water. police were right on the scene and they stood there to protect them and candace owens was here and she told us that she was actually yelling we love the police. we love the police. what did the two of them make of what was going on? listen to this. here they are on the couch. >> they want us to apologize or pack away from our support of the president. they are so frustrated at this president succeeding and they cannot reconcile with the fact that he is going to be the greatest president in modern american history. they see the economy booming and it makes them lose their mind. >> this is not going to change the effect of this administration. people are starting to recognize the left, the democrats are the party of hate. steve: they both agreed that there is a double standard when it comes to berating at breakfast conservatives and they suggested can you imagine if trump supporter in a maga, make america great again hat did that to
4:08 am
somebody. it would be. ainsley: all over the headlines, every newspaper and every other network. brian: if you are running against president trump and put obamacare back i get it you say i want to raise taxes, i feel the corporate tax was too steep, okay, final. but, when you run on i want to be a socialist. i want to abolishize. i want to have open borders. tell me where you are going to get one independent vote with that rush limbaugh brought that up yesterday. the democrats are basing this blue wave on one thing, trump hatred, the resistance. they are not basing on people's desire for democrat policies. now, isn't that kind of flimsy? they think -- they live in a world where everybody now hates trump. that's what they tell themselves. they live in a world where everybody now realizes the mistake they made voting for trump. but it isn't based on policy, no. it's based on trump hatred.
4:09 am
meanwhile, over here, the country has experienced an economic rebirth with people who haven't been working in 20 years finding jobs. after the democrats and their president specifically said the jobs weren't coming back. steve: it will be interesting to see. you know, there has been a prediction that there is going to be a blue wave sweeping one party into control perhaps with the house of representatives. today is primary day in a number of states. michigan, missouri, kansas, and washington. of course you will see all the primary coverage and results tonight right here on fox. brian: ohio is going to be on what everyone is focused on. one district where republicans have handled. they have had it for like 30 years. now they are in a virtual dead heat. the president over the weekend showed up to try to bolster the ohio candidate balderson. and we will see if that indeed works. ainsley: they are neck in neck. 1 percentage point. brian: against danny boy o'connor.

4:17 am
term, you are going to see a higher level of tension. clearly on the one hand we are ratcheting up the pressure on them they will look for ways in the region to ratchet up the pressure on us, although indirectly. when they talk about threats to the strait of hormuz they will not play that card. for one thing if they try to shut down the strait of hormuz. it means they cannot sell any of their oil. they can't do that number one. they also know we will not react militarily. president obama was prepared to threaten the use of force. he knows if they are threaten the use of force over the close of the strait of hormuz you know trump will. they provide anti-will missiles to the houthis. and fired a missile at saudi oil tanker. the third most important area for the movement of energy worldwide. i think you will see steps
4:18 am
like that. brian: you have u.s. bank notes. banned with gold, with precious metals and urge the european union to do the same thing. in the end, ambassador, true or not you will have to make a choice do you want to deal with america or iran. do you really think it's that cut and dry. >> it's a little bit more complicated than that because businesses for sure will say if the choice is doing business with america or iran. there is no choice you do it with america. but the iranian -- but the european governments are determined to try to keep the iranians in the nuclear deal. they goal to great lengts. they have passed regulations designed to protect their companies from secondary sanctions by the u.s. still, the companies basically will make their own choices. the governments can't tell them what to do. brian: even though you are a part of the obama administration. you weren't there when this deal was cut. you are for pulling out of this deal. ambassador, where would you go from here? what would do you next? >> look, i think the key right now is for us to try to maintain the pressure but
4:19 am
continue to say we want to talk to iran. one of the ways to build pressure on the iranians is to create the reality that, look, the purpose of pressure is not an end in itself. we are not trying to changes the regime. we are trying to change those behaviors that the iranian people themselves are demonstrating against. think about the fact you have placards in these demonstrations that say no to syria, no to lebanon. no to palestine, yes to us. invest news. don't invest in hezbollah. don't invest in bashar assad. on the one hand maintain the pressure but at the same time keep the door open and say we are willing to talk. i think one key thing here is the administration needs to have a consistent voice. it can't be sending mixed messages. when it sends mixed messages, it's going toned up creating problems for itself and its policy. brian: these are organic protest and say america is the great satan. they are happening in the rural areas with taxi

peaceful protest with the broadway singers. >> yeah. ainsley: we saw what happened with candace and charlie when they were just having breakfast and see some antifa people and they walk that -- why can't people have differences? why is there so much hatred? why is that happening? >> i think people absolutely can have differences. as you pointed out the protest that rosie o'donnell was partaking it in they call it the kremlin annex which has been going on for weeks now headed by the hillary clinton grassroots project has been completely peaceful. about the communication of ideas and about showing president trump that there are a number of americans out there who are not a fan of him or his policies and will be showing up at the polls in november and also today if you are in ohio, and that special election vote for danny o'connor and again in 2020 to make sure there is a democrat back in the white house. what happened to candace owens and charlie kirk is terrible. antifa is a fringe movement that has nothing to do with
4:27 am
the democratic party whatsoever. and i'm sorry that that happened to them but what's going on at the white house as you said it seems like a good time. ainsley: kayleigh, a lot of people are asking why. why are people so angry and mad just because people support president trump? rush limbaugh said it has nothing to do with policy. the blue wave has nothing to do with policy. instead, hatred. what are your thoughts? >> that's exactly right. we saw this going back to 2016 when president trump just wanted to have a simple rally in chicago. that had to be shut down because of violence. that stop that from happening. we have seen it go forward to today with maxine waters calling for violent protests against republican us and trump allies and sarah sanders not being able to eat at restaurant and charlie kirk. the examples are immeasurable. what this comes down to, ainsley, when we lost we came up with an argument tea party rose to power and peacefully put their ideas forward.
4:28 am
when democrats lost there were calls to violence. calls to de legit might the president. instead of accepting the election results they say unhinge dollars things like rosie o'donnell has said. it's not going to win. it's not going to win in november. ainsley: jessica, rosie o'donnell said the mainstream media gave trump the pls because they were too slow in coming around to call him a liar and she said the media treated hillary clinton and president trump equally when they were running against each other. do you agree with that? >> i agree with bits and pieces of that we do know that the russians targeted 21 states here there are were a lot of the people beyond rosie o'donnell that do feel like they played a significant role in the election outcome. that's not some fringe attitude there. what she is saying about the media treatment of trump and hillary being equal, there are a lot of people who make a legitimate fact that the media harped on and on and on about hillary clinton's emails and let a lot of what was going on with president trump as we are seeing coming out now in the mueller probe for instance. we never saw tax returns that that was glossed over as we sat there with a camera anxiously awaiting
4:29 am
him to take the stage, hours and hours and hours of media coverage just waiting for him to come out and talk to people. hillary clinton certainly did not get that kind of treatment. i believe that he is a legitimate president. i also believe that if you look at his favorability ratings right now new gallup poll 58% approval with white people without a college degree but only 29% approval with the rest of america. and that's what rosie o'donnell is talking about. this is not a president that's popular. this is not a man that represents all of us. and we have got to show up at the polls and take that back. she is talking about voting. that's a get out the vote message. ainsley: i know you said rossy is not the spokesperson for your party there are a lot of people already elected officials that have the same messages. you have alexandria ocasio-cortez, you have elizabeth warren. they are saying a lot of the same things. >> they are definitely saying get out to vote. ainsley: kayleigh, let me get kayleigh in. >> there is a lot of people. rosie o'donnell screaming in fronts of the white house about the electionin election bg

4:35 am
perhaps somebody misunderstood her intention intentions? >> could be. i mean, all of this is so much speculation. i wouldn't have any real idea of why someone would do this. but, the longer this goes on. the more i believe and, again, just speculation on a father who has too much time to think that i think she is with someone that isn't going to harm her but doesn't know how to get out of this situation. and is in over their head. brian: have you told this to the police and have they worked on that angle of the investigation? >> they're going to work on what they work on independent of what any of us think or say. they are very, very professional and very diligent in what they are doing. i have told this to them. and they have acknowledged it but, what they're working

5:03 am
order to continue to do business with iran. the implications are already pretty profound. they will grow more profound in november when the oil-related sanctions go into effect. steve: sanctions went into effect midnight last night. in may, the president pulled us out of the iran nuke deal. what is the goal of the sanctions? is it to get iran to negotiate a new deal or squeeze the government and squeeze the people so there is regime change? >> we don't, the policy is not regime change but we definitely want to put maximum pressure on the government. not just to come back to discuss a deal that is basically not fixable, dealing with the nuclear weapons aspect. we want to see a much broader retreat by iran for their support for international terrorism, their belligerent military activity in the middle east and their ballistic missile nuclear-related programs. so there is a lot going on here
5:04 am
that iran needs to be held accountable for. ainsley: this could worsen our relations with european allies. will you comment, elaborate on that a little bit please? >> i don't think it is worsening our relations with our european allies. we've been in constant communication in nearly four months i've been here. i probably spent more time communicating with european allies on the iran issue than any other single subject. we all share the same objective making sure iran doesn't get deliverable nuclear weapons. the european governments are still holding to the nuclear deal but honestly their businesses are running from it as fast as they can. the effect of the american sanctions is really proceeding regardless of the views of the european government. brian: china, any sign of cooperating? india i heard is upset. they will not cooperate. what are your thoughts? >> no, i think the indian government is cooperating. we made it clear our objective
5:05 am
after the november sanctions kick in, no one should buying oil from iran. to do that you have to find substitute sources. we're working with all the governments involved for that purpose. governments all around the world and businesses should ask themselves regardless of the nuclear deal, why would you want to do business with the world's largest financier of international terrorism, the central bank of international terrorism? do your shareholders feel good you're doing business with a terrorist regime? that is the sort of thing everybody needs to ask. steve: ambassador, let's switch gears. last week there was show of force. you had all the intel chiefs there in the press room. you were there. department of homeland security secretary, talking about russia, up, even today apparently is still meddling in our election process. given that, it kind of looks like putin told our president a lie? >> well he has said on numerous
5:06 am
occasions the russian state is not involved in election meddling. the justice department handed down an indictment a few weeks ago naming a dozen gru officials, one of the russian intelligence agencies. i don't think there is any question that the russian state is involved and that's why the president wanted the four heads of some of the key agencies involved in dough tech and preventing for ren election meddling to go out and tell the american people exactly what they're doing. now they couldn't tell them everything because obviously you're not going to tell our adversaries what they are doing so they can evade it, certainly in general terms that the government is protecting the integrity of the election process. the president knew what they were going to say. he had been briefed on it a few days before at national security council meeting. he didn't just authorized it, he encouraged it. brian: you think if they try
5:07 am
something we will have retribution for china or russia, anybody else that tries something? is that the only thing that will get their attention? are we prepared to do this? >> i can't get into the specifics but let me say we're considering a variety of steps to take. obviously what would like to see in place are sufficient stucktures of deterrents that foreign adversaries don't even think about meddling in our election. steve: like what? >> given the situation we inherited we're not in that place yet, given what happened in 2016 but we're working on it and in general terms what that involves is making sure that russia and others know the cost they will bear if they try to meddle in our elections would be significantly greater than whatever cost they impose on us. we don't want deterrents in cyberspace. we want our elections left alone. ainsley: north korea is urging us to drop the sanctions, accusing the washington,
5:08 am
accusing the president acting opposite of the singapore pledge. are we closer to see north korea denuking? we saw images of them possibly building more missiles? >> the performance we need is from north korea. the united states lived up to the singapore deggdeclaration. north korea has not taken the steps we feel are necessary to denuclearization. the idea we're going to relax sanctions on north korea's say-so is something that just isn't under consideration. we'll continue to apply maximum pressure to north korea until they denuclearization just as we are to iran. the president feels very strongly about it. we have been in consultation with other countries about keeping up the sanctions. we're determined to do it. brian: ambassador, north korea is now being the recipient of russia, is now saying since the nuclear threat is over, president indicated that, they're starting to trade more overtly and the u.n. says we're
5:09 am
tired of sitting on the sideline, we'll flood the zone with humanitarian aid. is that okay with you? >> we made it very clear all of these sources are fungible for north korea. they have been able to manipulate the international system over the years to get what they need to keep their economy going even at a very low level and keep their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs going. we think the maximum pressure campaign president trump put in place is what brought kim jong-un to the table in the first place. we'll not relent until we see progress on denuclearization. steve: it was great they did turn over the remains of americans from the korean war conflict but, ambassador, you know the story last week from "the washington post," sounds like their missile program is still going full tilt. is it? >> look, what a nation that was truly committed to turning the page would do here is return the remains of paul the foreign soldiers, south korean soldiers,
5:10 am
australians, others in the u.n. coalition in the early 1950s obviously as well as american soldiers there. is no point in withholding remains from a conflict that long ago. if they really want peace on the peninsula as they say, they don't need any negotiations with us to do it. they can do it on their own. brian: do you have anything to announce about a second meeting? >> no but, as i have said, secretary of state mike pompeo is prepared to go back to north korea to meet with kim jong-un. we proposed that in our most recent letter from the president to kim jong-un. the president is prepared to meet at any point. what we need is not more rhetoric, we need performance from north korea on denuclearization. ainsley: thank you, mr. ambassador. >> glad to be with you. ainsley: glad to have you. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. jillian: we're continuing to follow the story in the search for mollie tibbetts. her family thinks she may be

>> yep. i always told the parents that, when i was recruiting them. i'm going to take your son to church now, when he comes. we're going to have prayer together, you know it? if you don't want me to, i would always say this, if you don't want me to include your son, i will not. and i think after 50 something years, i think i had two families asked me not to include their son. it is funny, both are christians like i am. but i think they were afraid i was trying to get them to go to their church, which i wasn't. i would take my boys to a white church and they all had to attend. and then i would take them to a black church and they all had to attend. now the reason was that, to show them, once they got away from home, they were welcome to our churches whether they were white or black. steve: out in bremerton where coach kennedy coached and taught as well for seven years, after the games he would take a knee
5:26 am
and eventually the school board said you got to stop it, coach. he refused. so he was fired. and now you have added your name to this petition that is going in front of the supreme court. what do you want the supreme court to know about you and about in particular coach kennedy that we see right there taking a knee. >> just like i said at the first of the problem, by golly, if we're not going to raise our children, not give them good things, not have prayer with them, or for them, where are they going to get it? where are they going to get it? if we're going to fire everybody that has a prayer with a team, man, i wonder what will happen to our young people? it is -- surely everybody sees the problem going on in our schools today. people walking in off the street and killing 11 of them. killing 12 of them. killing two of them, things like that. you know it?
5:27 am
i mean, we need something stronger than us to seize this. i think we need to go to the man upstairs. steve: ultimately you would like to see coach kennedy get his job back or be able to coach somewhere else. bobby, you know how things are these days. we're in a very litigious society, when you introduce religion into things in the public square ultimately there is going to be somebody who may take offense to it. you talked about the two families who asked that you not take their sons to church. there is somebody that is going to object to fit. he gets his job back, but then he will get into trouble. >> can you do anything without somebody objecting to it? if you do it, someone is going to object. if you don't do it, some are going to object. i would rather be on the right side. to me that is on god's side.
5:28 am
steve: you say regardless of the supreme court decides, joe kennedy is a winner in your book? >> he most certainly is, man. hey, wouldn't you like to have him coaching your son? i mean, i would want him coaching my son, you know? these young men are in the hands of their coach. wouldn't it be awful to have a coach that was evil working with your son? i wouldn't want him there. i would love for my son to play for coach. steve: it is great to hear your point of view. bobby bowden coached the seminoles for many years. 57 years a coach. bobby, thank very much for joining us from florida with your point of view. >> thank you very much. steve: what do you think about that?

you again. first let me say to you it was evident last week that one of the major problems we have, when leaders get together as faith leaders did with the president of the united states to talk about how to fix our communities they were lambasted all across the country. brian: yeah. >> you can't even have a conversation about how to fix the problem but it is clear that the principles simply focused on the wrong issues. they need to be focused on employment, housing and education. specifically, employment for felons. we know that the workforce participation rate is all-time high, approaching 63%. when you got folks that come out of prison with non-violent felonies, you can't get a job, that simply results in more crime. a job keeps people from going back to jail. that's number one. number two, we know in some our cities we have city leadership who has misapplied their housing funds. we call it section 8.
5:48 am
that contributes to homelessness. third and finally, we've got an education problem in our city that these leaders simply aren't focusing on. we are leaders who are more intent on keeping our kids in failing schools. they have to embrace school choice and let a voucher take students where they can be educated. those are the issues. brian: maybe sanctuary city policies shouldn't be first and foremost on everyone's mind. they were under the impressions if you have a problem throw money at it. you say refocus the programs. >> they have to first stop throwing money at programs that have not worked, that is clear. when you look at what's happening in the cities that you mentioned. money not the problem, it's leadership. by the way leadership, not just of elected officials who want to stay in office but it's leadership also embraces the faith community that has solutions because they're dealing with these people on a

daily basis. they know where they are, they know what their needs are. employment, housing, education. brian: also the people could demand better results. look what happened to san francisco. who would ever vacation there or live there unless they had to? plus being so expensive. who would ever go to chicago in the certain areas? you have to be kidding me. a lot of these areas used to be fantastic places to visit. they have blown up. everybody should say, who are my leaders, i need to get new ones. they don't seem to say that. boggles my mind. marc little, thank you so much. >> thank you so much. brian: 11 minutes before the top of the hour.
