shoot we were buzzing about brett kavanaugh's interview with martha maccallum last night. first time we had a chance to hear from him sings his 30 hours when he was just defending his judicial record. now he sat down to talk to martha about the three accusations coming his direction. first from high school. the second from college. and the third looks like a big mystery led by the perpetually tan michael after that they. steve: that's right. if you saw it last night, you know they were -- they seemed very ernest. it was emotional. he made it very clear he is not going anywhere. and they were both very firm in his denial. >> in america we have fairness. we hear from both sides. a fair process at a minimum, at a bare minimum requires hearing from both sides before rushing to judgment. people might have had too many beers on occasion and people generally in high

school. i think all of us have probably done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe a bit. that's not what we are talking about. we are talking about an alleys of sexual assault. i have never sexually assaulted anyone. i have always treated women with dignity and respect. listened to the people who have known me best from my whole life, the women who have known me sings high school. the 65 who overnight signed a letter from high school saying i always treated them with dignity and respect. anna: he also said that he doesn't doubt that maybe dr. ford did go through something from someone at some point in time but that it wasn't him. and that he certainly never in his life sexually assaulted anyone. he says he never even had sex with anyone until years after high school. that was one of the big take aways i think people were talking about, too. he was willing to open up and talk about, you know, something so personal like that. he said he was never involved with a woman that way at all. steve: that's right. and his wife ashley was at his side. she revealed at one point in march that's great interview

revealed that this whole confirmation process a lot harder than they thought going in. >> i want a fair process where can i defend my integrity and i know i'm telling the truth. i know my lifelong record. and i'm not going to let false accusations drive me out of this process. i have faith in god. and i have faith in the fairness of the american people. >> this process is incredibly difficult. harder than we imagined, and we imagined it might be hard. but, at the end of the day, our faith is strong, and we know that we're on the right path. we're just going to stick to it. brian: you have to straddle that line. if you are judge kavanaugh. you might be outraged but you can't show it you can't diminish a woman who you said you haven't met that

she says she went through something horrific as a tenth grader. now she is in her 50's. at the same time, you have got it let everybody know i wasn't there. never met her. i don't know what she is referring. to say here's my schedule of what i was doing in 1982. and i was trying to get into an ivy league school, playing two sports. here is what i was actually doing. i don't even remember going to that party. it's a very tough line. you think it was tough getting ready to defend all your cases and decisions and releasing the skepticism many democrats have in your candidacy. this is tougher. because this is about personal and you could tell that he did not want to make a mistake last night and some have said and ed henry said he talked to a couple of republicans it was a little stiff, a little robotic not really when you consider what's at stake, i thought. steve: his whole life is on the line. that's one of the reasons why they were emotional at times. at the same time, you know, he is trying to answer these accusations that we're going to finally see this woman,

dr. christine ford on thursday, we think. brian: we think. steve: we think, exactly. could she be getting cold feet because yesterday her attorney michael barometer very much sent a letter to michael grassley and the committee what is going on. first of all who is this special sex crimes prosecutor is going to be asking these questions on thursday. we would like the identity of this person we thought it was going to be fair and respectful treatment. we did not get that yesterday from the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell when he went to the well of the senate and he just absolutely blasted the process and the democrats. >> this is what the so-called resistance has become. a smear campaign, pure and simple. aided and abetted by members of the united states senate.

chairman grassley has made sure the facts will be heard. judge kavanaugh and american people deserve nothing less. judge kavanaugh will be voted on here on the senate floor. up or down. on the senate floor. this fine nominee to the supreme court will receive a vote. anna: what is he doing is slamming the process of what is going on. not slamming judge ford -- or, excuse me, dr. ford, and everything she has been going through for decades if she did indeed go through something so horrific which she believes was from judge kavanaugh, even though he denies those accusations. brian: then have you debbie ramirez whose story appears in the new yorker whose story didn't line up for the "new york times." this story wasn't one way or the other to print. we talked to 12 different people and we couldn't corroborate the story so we moved on. the new yorker says they are bitter because we locked her up and having the story and now staying wasn't worthy of them.

let them fight it out. bottom line there is no no one to corroborate the debbie ramirez story. not saying it's not true. she says it took mease me weeks of contemplation to remember if it was judge kavanaugh or not and knowing there was huge holes in my story because i was so drunk. steve: she said to some people last week i'm not even sharier it was him. apparently the president did call mr. kavanaugh yesterday and said good luck with the interview with martha maccallum. the president called mitch mcconnell and said you better have a vote on this nomination pretty soon. this is all accord ing to "the washington post. they have say the president is us from the straighted a froe pace of not only key ageneral da items but how mitch is processing this particular confirmation. he says mitch and chuck grassley have been too accommodating of the accuser and her side and says the republicans have been too easily manipulated by the democrats and according to the "the washington post."

the president is sick of ford's attorneys getting their way. does not believe the accusations are credible. anna: yeah. well that line kept getting pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed. there were so many different delays. we are wondering if thursday there will be that hearing because of dr. ford's attorney saying they don't think this is fair. they are asking for the resumes of the attorneys that will be asking the questions instead of the republicans. brian: 10 republicans have not made up their mind, 41 have. among the 10, the four that look like they need to hear more and the president can get mad at mitch mcconnell all he wants. if these republicans don't want to vote you flight a vote in which you lose. sasse and corker is up in the air. cork r. mckowski is up in the air. susan collins wants to hear from ramirez, the one-time yale freshman who says that she was i don't know the right way to say it but she had unsavory incident with brett kavanaugh when she was

in college. so, you can say i want to vote. but if susan collins is going to vote no and if jeff flake is going to vote no. then you got to go in thereby and say what are you going to need to vote yes. ainsley: wondering what the politicayes.ains. anna: wondering what the political fallout will be. he said the republicans can kiss the mid terms goodbye if kavanaugh doesn't get confirmed. brian: i agree. steve: it comes down to how they look on thursday how they both appear on thursday, that is to say. judge jeanine says what we have seen in the last week is pretty much the state of affairs in politics these days. listen to this. >> constitution applies to illegals, it applies to criminals, murderers, but it doesn't apply a man who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice, a man who no woman in the last i don't know how many decades has said a bad word about him and now all of the

sudden we have the left using the rules of sole olenski chaos to bring socialism and anarchy to this country. i'm going to ask one question, sean, i would like to know how many united states senators are willing to change the standards of justifiable against them to accusation without corroboration and i guarantee you if we start and go down that road, things will change. brian: basically, people level headed as chris coons say it's up to kavanaugh to dispel the accusations? really? that's turning the law right on its head. i think this is going to be a very intense day thursday if they have it then have you michael avenatti with other accusation right around the bend after that. steve: comes down to thursday the tv show if it is public and televised how believe. and the cases they make to the personal public. anna: thus far we want to know what you think. head to our social media pages and hit us up at friends@foxnews.com. we want to hear from you.

no, he is there he is going to quit. nope, is he going to meet on thursday. >> that camera was fixed on the white house to see if he was coming in and out. going to brains pal's meeting. the president is going to meet with him on thursday. was on the phone with him yesterday. very tempered approach from donald trump doing the right thing. steve: we have heard he said if i said anything about a wire i was being sarcastic. larger issue why were they having a conversation about moving the president with the 25th amendment. >> exactly. let's believe rosenstein if he did say something sarcastically, what was the underlying discussion? why is it they had six or seven people there talking about taking down donald trump? remember the context. they had just gotten rid of director comey based on the rosenstein memo in part. second part was it was the day or two before rod rosenstein actually appoints the special counsel. steve: sure. you wonder where did this leak come from?

where did the "new york times" get this? a lot of people pointing the finger at andrew mccabe who got fired a while back he is trying to provoke the president to make him so mad you won't believe what your people were saying that he will fire rod rosenstein and chaos will ensue. >> mccabe who certainly seems to have motivation and question about those notes. congress needs to kick in and do its thing. they need to see those notes, which is a fair thing to do. really what they should be doing is identifying those six or seven people in that circle. steve: right. >> bring them in for transcribed introduce underoath and try dissect. this that cannot happen soon enough. steve: yesterday at the u.n. ambassador nikki haley and secretary of state mike pompeo were taking talking about the 25th amendment. listen to this. >> i'm not aware of any cabinet members that are even talking about that. it is completely and totally absurd. >> i will add no discussion with me about the 25th amendment either. so you can now report that there are two senior leaders have said your question was ludicrous. i have been at the center of

this administration along with lots of other folks for -- from virtually day one. i have never heard anyone talk about it, whisper about it, joke about it in any way. steve: unless you are reading the "new york times." >> well, look, donald trump has been doing a great job producing results. look at what happened with south korea yesterday. mike pompeo there, nikki haley there. after the cnn was saying well, there is only one senior administration official pompeo says well, i have been here since the beginning, too. the president has been doing a great job. he has been producing results. and so these stories, a lot of flailing by the media but not a lot of substance behind it. steve: he has a brand new book out. >> it's great. it's called the deep state. chafin jafts, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: 22 million illegals are living in the united states. that's far more than we have heard of before. where did that number come from? will talk to the men who crunch the numbers coming up next. what issues are on the minds

about 11 million, are based on survey approaches in which they go out into the community and ask individuals to explain about their country of origin. we looked at those approaches and we saw that they potentially were not going to be valid. it's difficult to get individuals who are undocumented to respond to a survey like that. it's hard to locate them. they certainly have a reason not to be located. they may not answer truthfully on the survey. we thought it was a good opportunity to take a different approach and see using a different approach what kind of numbers we good and it turns out we got very different numbers. > brian: did you look at border crossings? overstayed visas? what were you looking at? >> simple logic is we just look at everyone who is coming into the country and subtract everyone who is leaving. so coming into the country you are exactly right. we are looking at border crossings. we are looking at people who are overstaying their visas, those are the two main ways that undocumented immigrants come in.

and then leaving the country people, of course, who are detained and then deported are a major source of this. also people leave voluntarily. people die and some people gain legal status. again, the essence of our approach is to say what was the initial population in about 1990. wee think it was about 3.5 million. you add everyone who comes. in you subtract everyone who goes out it does not involve asking anybody any questions. it's base working with operational data. anna: so, if your numbers are correct. it sounds like we probably need to change the way we are dealing with our problem of illegal immigration. jonathan, how confident are you in these numbers? do we need to do more research in a similar face? >> well, we certainly do i want to add as well this is a product of american history, the modern history starts in about 1990. and from that time to now, there was a very large increase, we believe in the number of undocumented

individuals from 1990 into the middle 2,000s. important to recognize since 2008 the number has actually been quite stable. we have a much better control over our borders than we had previously. brian: right. but the number keeps going up, correct, ed? >> actually, it's been quite stable over the past 10 years. >> right, you actually, jonathan is right. the number doesn't keep going up. the number has actually been flat since about 2008 the question is where has that number been foreign emphasize we are not saying that the population of illegal immigrants has factually doubled what we're saying it was higher all along and under estimated for all of these years. we believe it was underestimated because of this survey approach. >> i would also add there is a lot of uncertainty. brian: you are telling me we always had 22 million illegals, they keep dying or leavingor get naturalized?

>> not always but for the past 10 years the number has been stable. 22 million is an average over many, many different replications of our basic model. the number i would say we're more confident in is a conservative estimate of 16.7 million, which is 50% higher than what was previously believed. we're quite confident that there are at least that number. there easily could be as many as 22 million. in fact, the you were ends of our simulations as far as 29 million. anna: all right. gentlemen, thank you from yale university, thanks so much and they say politics didn't play a role at all in the way that they immigration reform has to take that number in. if they don't like it they have to question it 29 minutes after the hour. straight ahead boy or girl because one hospital is removing labels from patient wrist bands what did jillian mele and rick have in

just talking about in the last segment that republicans come out in droves to express their anger so that would be a benefit to the president. but if the republicans think if the republican base thinks that the congressional leadership in the white house couldn't manage a nomination as safe as this, they might stay home i don't know which way it will governmental we will know after the big tv show on thursday: perhaps dr. christine ford is getting cold feed because her attorney sent back to congress a letter saying hey, wait a minute, i thought this was going to be a fair presentation of my side and, yet, you apparently are going to hire a sex crimes prosecutor to ask the questions. and mitch mcconnell made it's a smear campaign speech yesterday on the floor of the senate. maybe some are surmise she go is not going to show. >> if she doesn't show this has to be over with he cannot answer an allegation

that is not credibly made. and right now the answers he gave to martha mccallum last night and in his letter to senator grassley were based upon an interview in the "the washington post" and the one letter that dr. ford wrote to senator grassley. that doesn't cut the mustard f she has allegations of this magnitude, she has to state them under oath. brian: exit question on ramirez. the seconds accuser that appeared in the new yorker feature. >> isn't that totally discredited by now? brian: senator susan collins is on the record saying i want to hear from her. >> judge: i don't think that will happen. senator collins is on the committee. the committee is fed up with the driveways going on. brian: if she votes no. >> they have no room to spare. if she votes know and everybody else think it will be 50-50 tie with the vice president breaking it. steve: prediction? >> i think thursday will be high drama. i think you will see him, judge kavanaugh a lot more forceful. almost clarence thomas like than what we saw last night

because he has to win the day. brian: judge, going to be exciting. >> yes. brian: you cannot rest. keep watching. >> one of those weeks. brian, were you there when i got hit in the head with the camera last night? brian: judge pirro will represent you in the court filings. >> please. steve: president trump about to meet face to face with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein on thursday. >> we'll be determining what is going on. we wanting to have transparency. we want to have openness. brian: will he make it to the end of the week. and that's what steve should have read. and this is my portion. two of the biggest names in football tom brady and bill belichick. what is the relationship really like? the man who wrote this incredible book called belichick. three years studying the man he says is the greatest coach of all times. back in a moment with him

♪ and the world's going to know your name ♪ hey, what are you guys doing here? we're voya. we stay with you to and through retirement. so you'll still be here to help me make smart choices? well, with your finances that is. we had nothing to do with that tie.

voya. helping you to and through retirement.

brian: bill belichick one of the most polarizing coaches. many consider him the best coach of all time. taking super bowl 8 times winning five. belichick the making of the best football coach of all time. ian conner spent three years of his life studding. new england made a big mistake. >> 75% of the nfl had the same opinion because the bill had four losing seasonings out of five in cleveland. his public personality was challenging to say least in terms of matching him up

with the profile of a successful head coach. everybody in the giants organization and they loved him as an assistant coach. they thought he was just as good as vince lombardi and tom landry as an assistant in their organization. they didn't believe in him either. what he pulled off was pretty amazing. brian: you say he grew up with a football coach dad. he loved it sitting there in the film room. also, the military aspect. growing up in annapolis. how did that shape him. >> it shaped his father. his father was a long time coach, brian, at the naval academy. bill saw the precision and deep tail that was so important to the students at the academy in terms of getting prepared to be combat officers down the road. steve belichick's father, when he coached players, he coached them to be officers and soldiers who would be in combat. and it was all about precision and execution and protecting your brother next to you and life and death you are general is i literal live for them with every detail in the classroom and on the football field. brian: you conclude he is

the greatest coach of all time. he was about to fail for a second time until drew bledsoe gets hurt and goes to sixth round draft pick a guy named tom brady. you still hold to that maybe no belichick if there wasn't a brady. >> i was on the field when bledsoe got hurt they are going to go 5-11 again belichick went 5-11 in first year in new england. every great coach needs a great player at the centerpiece of his program. brady happened to be that guy. i don't subtract anything from belichick's legacy because brady walked into his life. brian: really? but he did get better as a coach. better communicator. you say is he a natural teacher because his mom was a teacher. but, the brady-belichick relationship, they are not close. >> right. but they are funking now despite the 1-2 record. they need toe win this sunday against miami. it was always a transactional relationship. best transactional partnership in the nfl. there was never any love and

warmth and affection. brady got it from robert kraft in that organization. it caught up to tom. the unrelenting way belichick coached him for 18 years caught up to him last week. belichick cut access to his fitness coach and business partner gea. brian: how quick, ian how much does he want to win with brady? is he 41 years old. does he prove something. >> he wanted to but that ship sailed with jimmy go garuplo. i think is he going to do it with tom bread. brian: i thought i knew a lot about him. when i was done with this i know so much more. full disclosure our sons were roommates two of the three years. >> your son is one of the nicest kids i have ever met. >> i agree with you.

your son is tops. too much at stake to let ruthless politics take over. she joins us live. plus, white house press secretary shawrnldz, alan sarah huckabee sanders and on the surface of your skin, an overly sensitive immune system deep within your skin might actually be causing your eczema. so help heal your skin from within. with dupixent. dupixent is not a steroid, and it continuously treats your eczema even when you can't see it. at 16 weeks, more than 1 in 3 patients saw clear or almost clear skin, and patients saw a significant reduction in itch. do not use if you are allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems, including eye pain or changes in vision.

actually high ter by a lot. >> reached as far as 29 million. >> president trump and the leader of kim jong un signed a u.s.-korea free trade agreement. >> i have never seen my name in korean. [laughter] it looks nice. ♪ let's get loud ♪ turn the music up and feel that sound brian: right. that's my favorite go to dance song. steve: let's get loud? brian: right it means a lot to me. the most under appreciated story yesterday we revamped our trade agreement with south korea. that was one of the president's focuses. that's two. little by little is he knocking them off. steve: brian, there are so many big stories including the fact that anna kooiman is in for ainsley. anna: hello. steve: the story everybody is talking about today the televised hearing on thursday where dr. christine

ford will sit down and be essentially interrogated by a sex crimes prosecutor selected by congress to ask questions of her and also brett kavanaugh. brett kavanaugh's career in the judiciary is hanging in the balance. and that goes to show you why the white house yesterday did something that we don't think has ever happened in tv history before. they put a supreme court nominee on television the answer the allegations against him. you know what they're. he was fierce. nothing happened. >> i have never sexually assaulted anyone, not in high school not ever. i have always treated women with dignity and respect. listen to the people who have known me best for my whole life, the women who have known me since high school, the 6540 overnight signed a letter from high school saying i always treated them with dignity

and respect. i want a fair process to defend my dignity. i know i'm telling the truth. i know my lifelong record. i'm not going to let false accusations drive me out of this process. in america we have fairness. we hear from both sides. a fair process at a minimum. at a bear minimum requires hearing from both sides before rushing to judgment. brian: so he is in the position of whatever, do you don't put down the accuser. but, also, defend yourself while not looking too weak because you are a judge. while looking like a human being because you have been accused of something that could change the shape and scope of your life. anna: how do you do that without looking robotic and some people say he did. brian: i think it was a good decision to come out with martha yesterday. steve: he was emotional. they were emotional. his wife ashley. brian: look more -- we have already seen him talk about

legal stuff for 30 hours. now we have to see him talk about personal stuff whereas chris christie said on sunday with george stephanopoulos, if this turns out he does not get confirmed how does he go back to the circuit of appeals? steve: that's a great question. ax gross writes about it this way regarding the dynamic and what's going on. virtually the entire democratic party believing the republican nominee from the supreme court was a predator. virtually the entire republican party two people making up that they were victims of attempted rape or sexual humiliation about who actually did it the next public hearing to air all of this is going to be on thursday. be smart, they write: democracy isn't just messy, it's dirty and getting dirtier and that's essentially what lindsey graham says. for them to complain about the process is like an ar arsonist complaining about a

fire. this has been the worst low point in the senate for me and that's saying a lot. when it comes to donald trump, there are no boundaries, there are no rules. whatever you need to do to destroy him or his agenda is okay. anna: that's exactly what the left was saying before the very beginning before these accusations even came out and there are a lot of theories that it's just too convenient that the time something too convenient. why did it come out at the 11th hour. steve, what you saided in the axios report. it's exactly right. this is a microcome of what is going on in our country. everyone is in their own corner and tribe and echo chamber. that's what we are seeing. brian: people should understand if you are against this nominee because it's president trump's selection, understand it's president bush's selection, too. karl rove's selection. the people that know him and people on the left that clerked with him just the high profile politicians. it's not the old republican party and new republican party. president trump said he's

the guy. guess what? the one who high fivedded highest was george bush, karl rove, condoleezza rice. oif jeff flake is doing this to get in donald trump's face or bob corker is trying to send a message to president trump, you are also, it's also a message to george burke you are knot showing any respect. they have known him and worked with him in the toughest times at the white house. steve: i think jeff flake and all the senators want to hear what both sides have to say. that's why what happens on thursday is so important. apparently the president has told the outcome of this particular hearing and the confirmation vote ultimately is crucial to the mid terms. if he does not get confirmed, it will be crucial. rush limbaugh had this oxz that was on that same point. >> if the republicans do not get this vote taken and have kavanaugh confirmed. you can kiss the mid terms goodbye. can you kiss goodbye holding

the house. and you can kiss goodbye holding the senate. whatever the democrats think of their base, the one thing i know is that if you guys fold on, this and cave, and keep bending over backwards, you've done that enough. you've demonstrated that you don't hate women. you've demonstrated that you are open-minded. you have demonstrated you want to hear from her. you are never going to hear from her. anna: he doesn't think this is going to energize the republican base to come out and vote in the mid terms. steve: if mr. kavanaugh is not confirmed, i think it energizes the republican base in a big way. anna: i would say the same thing. it seems like it's energizes both sides. i don't think we will know from five weeks from now. brian: protest yesterday jeff flake and susan collins office that forced ted cruz out of a restaurant i would never leave. they would have to scream in there i cannot believe these restaurant tiers allow people to come in and start screaming at their customers. i guess that's washington these days. jeff flake, susan collins,

evidently there is about 0 overall that have not firmly committed. 41 are definitely in. judging by what they know so far. steve: depends on what they see on thursday. brian: you think so? steve: absolutely. brian: being besieged bawtion they look like they because they look vulnerable. see if they will bend to pressure. steve: i hope they have open minds to see what happens. we asked you what you thought. we got an email from a guy named russell. he says it's no longer about service to the public and representing the taxpayers. rush is right. the republicans can kiss it goodbye if they fail to get this nomination through. anna: dale says this in an email the democrats are made a circus of our government. where are the standards of common sense and fairness? brian: diana says this, i think the new accuser should be invited to be there on thursday to provide her story, too. get it over with if you have a story to tell, be there on

thursday. that would be great, just to get it over with. this accuser is the freshman in yale drunk, so drunk she took a few weeks to remember after she was pursued by democrats for this story. ronan farrow wrote it. tried to defend it among the people that are calling him out are the "new york times" who said yeah. we got this lead but we could not corroborate it so we couldn't write it brit hume among the people and chris stirewalt who said it was totally irresponsible to write the story being that you couldn't verify the story and the accuser was actually drunk. steve: the problem is there is no -- othere does not appear to be any evidence it's a he said, she said thing. that's what it's going to come down to on thursday. brian: let's hope chris coons does not set the tone for the rest of the country. where if you get up in the morning and voice mail accusing you of sexual assault it's up to you to prove that wrong instead of innocent until proven guilty. it seems like they want it reversed. ironically for a supreme court justice who is going

to fight to shake sure it's not. anna: when it comes to kavanaugh but not with ellison. jillian: illegal imgrangts behind bars charged in a dead buy stabbing spree. frankly vazquez charged with attacking three fellow crew members with. faces possible deportation back to mexico if convicted. president trump is heading back to tennessee. he will hold a rally in johnson city and headline a fundraiser for republican marsha blackburn on monday. the congres congresswoman is rug against democrat and former governor phil brenson. debated tonight as the opponent distances himself from his own party. he is saying quote my today make clear from everybody my frindz all of the national democratic stuff. if it's a race between democrats and republicans, i lose. after years of heated

implications a lot of people think if brett kavanaugh does not get through this process that the republicans will pay a price for that. i look at brett kavanaugh and i saw his family last night on television or him and his wife last night on television. i would imagine at any points his wife is like let's just get out of this process. the problem if you step out of the process, you look like you are guilty. his entire career is over. a lot of things have troubled me. a lot of george soros connections to people affiliated with the lawyers themselves. steve: what do you mean. >> there is a resistance out there. the lawyer herself has been on tape saying she is part of the resistance. brian: with a resistance shirt on. steve: you mean dr. ford's lawyer. >> dr. ford's lawyer as well as many of the other players coming out whether it's avenatti or whatever. i think this is a process that is all about our system, fairness, and i think a lot is at stake. we have to take the politics out.

conservatives went to the box office and support of the those record highs. brian: dinesh da souza. >> some saying i don't want anything to do with barack obama don't come to my state. is he only drawing crowds 700 or 800 strong. president trump went to missouri and packed the auditorium. there is a lot to be said with that if the republican does not finish the game strong, what i'm talking about is kavanaugh, i think there is going to be a price to pay at the blot box in the mid terms. anna: look at when these folks were polled it before the kavanaugh story broke. do you have that will have an impact. >> the base sees right through. this you have a man served in judiciary now for over academic indicated. has had a 35-year career that's practically sterling. democrats do nothing with this accusation all summer last anyone they come with anonymous accusation and try destroy this man's life and career and reputation from high school, mind you. so, look, the woman is going to have an opportunities to speak on thursday.

brian: what was your take on march that's interview last night and what went into the decision to do that interview because this whole process has been unique. that was a very tough decision i imagine from communications. >> i think we have been very clear from the beginning. judge kavanaugh has wanted to come out and tell his story. brian: he has been telling you that? >> i mean, he said it in every letter, every exchange, every statement that he is willing and ready to come and answer questions, hard questions, uncomfortable questions because he has been very consistent from day one and unequivocal in his denial that anything ever took place. i find it to be a good platform that he was able to come out and to share his side of the story because, as far as i can tell and as far as i remember in america, you are still innocent until proven guilty. but the democrats have been calling him guilty from day one before they ever even talked to him. they set through hours of hearings, never brought it up. never talked to him in

private meetings and waited until the last anyone to start throwing out some outrageous allegations that have no corroboration which i find really terrible. anna: a lot of people find the timing curious. we do want our viewers to be able to hear what judge kavanaugh had to say denying the accusations talking to martha maccallum on "the story." >> in america, we have fairness, we hear from both sides. a fair process at a minimum, at a bear minimum requires hearing from both sides before rushing to judgment. people might have had too many beers on occasion and people generally in high school, i think all of us have done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe a bit. that's not what we're talking about. we are talking about an allegation of sexual assault. i have never sexually assaulted anyone. i have always treated women with dignity and respect. listen to the people who have known me best for my whole life. the women who have known me

"the washington post" also says that the president has been frustrated with the pace at which this has been progressing in the senate on the republican side and he says that chuck grassley and mitch mcconnell, accord ing to "the washington post have been too accommodating. said the republicans have been too easily manipulated by the democrats, and he is sick of ford's attorneys getting their way and does not believe that the accusations are credible. >> you know i like to not use "the washington post" as my source. but, look, the president wants this process to come to a vote. because that's what's supposed to happen in every single one of these instances where someone is nominated. they go before. they have a hearing and then the senators vote on it that's what's supposed to happen. that's what the president expects to happen.

he has nominated somebody. senators had ample time to question him. he has been willing to come back and answer these new allegations that have been brought forward. and he wants a chance to be able to do that so that the senate can make a decision. i do think it's unfair to continue to drag the process out and continue to put good people through the ringer for the sake of political games that the democrats want to play. brian: i know "the washington post" and we get the -- some of the press briefings televised at fox so i'm able to watch them. i know there is some tension in the "the washington post" and the "new york times." "the washington post" had this story that said that the deputy attorney general was considering wearing a wire to tape the president in order to get proof that he could enact the 25th amendment. essentially tossing the president out of office. does he believe the deputy attorney general's semi denials and what will that do for thursday's meeting? >> i think that's a part of the conversation that will take place on thursday i'm

not going to get ahead of a conversation that hasn't happened yet. the president and rod rosenstein had a beginning of that conversation by phone yesterday. both agreed it was best to sit down and have that further and longer and more extended conversation in person. brian: what was yesterday? >> it was confusing. >> going to the white house. john kelly is there. >> you know people that work in the administration do go to the white house pretty frequently. that's not like ground breaking news. in fact, rod rosenstein was there a couple times last week, too. it shouldn't put everyone into a tail spin when somebody that works for the administration shows up and comes to the building in which they work for. brian: was it a big nonstory for you or was there some peril in his appearance? >> i'm not going to get ahead of the conversation that he and the president are going to have on thursday. obviously the president has been disappointed by a number of actions that have

taken place at the department of justice. and he wants some answers to some of the questions that he has. some of them have to do with rod rosenstein. some of them have nothing to do with him. but it is the department of justice and it should work to actually fix and hold up law and order not undermine law and order and the president wants to make sure that's happening. anna: following this meeting on thursday if rosenstein decides to resign or relieved of his duties, what's the president's next move. >> i'm not going to get into hypothetical situation. we will see how thursday goes and i will let the president make that determination. steve: one of president's attorneys jay sekulow said yesterday that if rosenstein leaves essentially the mueller probably should be put on pause for a little while to go ahead and take a review and step back and see where we're on the stage. >> i would probably go a step further. >> the mueller probably should end. they spent a year and a half and found nothing because

there was nothing. there is nothing. there was no collusion. the american people are ready for this to wrap up. we have seen absolutely no shred of evidence that the president or anybody on his team had any wrongdoing? n. the campaign. i think it's time to wrap this up and move forward. brian: i think the whole country would love to see it brand up no matter where you stand and how voted for. today the president gives his second aaddress to the united nations. i imagine no rocket man references. steve: you never know you never know. how close is rocket man to a summit with kim jong un again and number two, how hard will he be on iran? >> i certainly there has been a tremendous amount of progress in just a short amount of time with north korea. you referenced the speech last year. things were very different at this point a year ago with north korea. tension was high. but, due tout leadership of president trump, we have seen a complete reversal of that relationship and the first summit went very well

and the communications over the last couple of months have been very strong and very positive from north korea. thtesting have stopped. remains have come home. every day the progress continues to move forward. we feel good about where that is and we expect a second meeting to take place soon. brian: would it be here or the gallopis island. >> the conversation hasn't happened yet. the conversations to set that up are ongoing and we expect that to take place in short order. anna: will the president stick to america first agenda today. >> the points he made last year and made it every day since taking was certainly america first but not america alone. we want to be able to work together. i think you have seen the president do that a lot. i think yesterday was a tremendous example of the president's leadership on full display. he said he was going to get better trade deals and he has done exactly that monumental moment to seat

two leaders puftd pen to paper and really change the course of trade agreements and set the standard of what this president is going to demand out of the negotiations between different countries. brian: why didn't he meet with macron yesterday. >> we did meet with macron yesterday. steve: met with trudeau. >> we met with macron. steve: didn't meet with canada. >> i don't know that that was ever actually supposed to be on the schedule for yesterday. the president had wall-to-wall meetings and went from early yesterday morning until about 9:00 last night. and i wouldn't be surprised if they don't spend some time over the course of the next few days. crazier things have certainly happened. brian: crazy. steve: the doocy cookbook is coming thought a week and sarah huckabee sanders has donated your recipe the famous recipe for the bourbon chocolate pecan pie. >> just to be clear the bourbon cooks out so feel

free to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. brian: he made it but didn't buy it. steve: that was the suggestion it was a fake picture she actually bought the crust and makes the other stuff. anna: who makes the crust anymore anyway. >> you have to save time somewhere. steve: you do. anna: still ahead on "fox & friends," todd is having breakfast in illinois to get issues on america. brian: lower the mike i have to read something else. look who is hanging out in the green room dog the bounty hunter and his wife beth coming up shortly ♪ even when i'm a thousand away ♪ they didn't have to change their plans or worry about a thing. i'll see you all in a little bit. and i fixed it right away with a strong repair they can trust. plus, with most insurance

brian: check in with todd piro he is having breakfast with friends live at the bread basket restaurant in barrington, illinois. todd: hey guys, good morning to you. obviously there is one major topic everybody is talking about today and is the brett kavanaugh nomination. let's get started. we begin with paul. paul is an air force veteran, vietnam veteran. sir, thank you for your service. you say you are embarrassed as an american with regard to how the brett kavanaugh situation is being handled. why? >> i just think that it's criminal that someone who is willing to devote his life public service and being put on the grill for events that happened so long ago or may have not happened, i don't know. i hate to see one of our public servants have to go through this it's ridiculous. todd: you agree. in the army reserves. thank you very much for your service there as well. you say the politics of all of this is disgusting. why? >> what's this country

coming to? you know, 40 years ago, really? he and i can't remember 50 years ago. 40 years ago. but it's -- i don't know what is going on in this country and it's not good. todd: all right. gentlemen, thank you for your time. go over here. don, put down the phone. we are coming to you. don a vietnam vet and very active in veterans charities. sir, thank you for your service. you say are regard to the brett kavanaugh situation this is just business as usual. why do you say that? >> every time there is an original list nooriginal list nr the supreme court we see the same behavior. they roll out october surprises this time in september. they had the information. they could have come forward with this long ago. senator feinstein chose not to. todd: would you like to hear the accuser tell her side of the story? >> i would. and under oath so that we -- you know, she has some reason to tell the truth. and, you know, i think

that's important. todd: right now we are in a suburb of chicago. chicago has been in the news a lot lately. you say the government is a bread winner when it comes to chicago and the violence that's going on there in many cases. wife do you say that? >> i think the destruction of the family where the father in the family is not necessarily needed for the family to function because the government has stepped in and financed a lot of families. just the general break down of the family, i think, is important. it's a microcosm of the bigger problem that we have in set to. society. todd: we want to thank the folks here. one little quick note about this place. memorial day free breakfast to everybody that served and they kick the parade off from right here. how awesome is that? anna: round of applause under a are making me hungry. steve: todd piro live in the land of lincoln.

anna: they helped cache one of the most wanted men in america. dog the bounty hunter and his wife beth join us live next.

anna: the man accused of threatening to put a bullet until president trump's head was caught. brian: duane chapman or as you know him dog the bounty hunter and his wife join us. >> good to see you again. it's been a long time. brian: i know. first off, we are tracking down this clown. how you do it? >> well, you know, we just helped out. you know, we didn't leave our patio in hawaii. but we get offered help and

we offered them, you know, a lawyer and a bondsman and a way to bring him in safely. and the parents started constantly communicating and it drew him out like, you know, then he was using a phone so they were able to track an ip. he was leaving messages for his dad on facebook so, again, there was addresses that they could, you know, trace and then they were able to -- we were able to keep him going for about six or seven hours so they were able to get into that location, put a canine on him. anna: how serious were these threats. >> well, 25 years old they're always serious when you have a gun and been convicted of almost doing the same. when it came down to it, he told his father, he said since dog the bounty hunter got involved i'm not going to shoot it out. out of all the people in the world said one guy that loved me was dog there was something in him that i, as i am, looked that i thought all i need to do is talk to this kid. brian: you didn't know him, did you? >> no, sir.

steve: what do you want to say to him. >> only child spoiled brat straighten up. have you somebody that loves you some day won't be here and stop it right now. if you want to help the world, this is not the way to do it. i wanted to give him the back -- famous backseat ride. >> mental health is so important right now to the criminal justice system. steve: absolutely. >> they think they are housing people because they are poor. we are not putting people in jail because they are poor. we are putting people in jail because they have broken the law. brian: gotcha. let's talk about california and them scratching the cash bail system. what do you think about this. >> >> i have done this 40 years. i know without a deterrent what is that thing you told me last night? >> it's called a moral hazard. when bad people do bad things and there is no punishment for bad things they are going to behave bad. so what we have done is we have taken the accountability and responsibility out of crime. you know, crime isn't going down. we are decriminalizing

crime. what's worse is that victims are disregarded right and left. in california if no one has to post bail these guy also get out of jail before the victim is released from the hospital. >> in texas, god bless texas tried it and 100 percent yesterday. >> they have seen 100 percent failure to appear rate. steve: why are they doing it? >> because who is coming to get you? >> the left is saying that, you know, people are in jail because they are poor. we are disadvantaging people. the rich can get out but the poor can't get out. again, people are not in jail because they are poor. they are in jail because they broke the law. anna: there is a sliding scale. beth, dog. brian: keep tracking down the bad guys. >> we need trump to help us. steve: straight ahead on this very busy tuesday. tomi lahren and alan dershowitz both here live in four minutes. anna: did you think clint got his start thanks to a

>> in america we have fairness from both sides. the process at a minimum and a bare minimum requires hearing from both sides before rushing to judgment. people have too many beers on occasion and generally in high school, all of us have done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe but that is not what we are talking about. we are talking allegations of sexual assault. i never sexually assaulted anyone. i have always treated women with dignity and respect. listen to the people who have known me best my whole life or known me since high school, and signed a letter in high school, saying treated them with dignity and respect to. rob: the second accusers from college freshman year, couldn't get verification from anyone who was there that can verify the claims of the woman that came forward, the new york times

sanders, press secretary for the president was just there 40 minutes ago and she said it is time to let the process work and then let's have a vote. >> the president once this process to come to a vote because that is what is supposed to happen. in every single one of these instances where somebody is nominated they go before, they have a hearing at the senate votes on it and that is what is supposed to happen is what the president expects to happen, he nominated summit, senators had ample time to question him. he has been willing to come back and answer these new allegations that have been brought forward and he wants a chance to do that so the senate can make a decision. pete: they will be back to back, the original -- we want brett kavanaugh to go first. why would he go first? according to the story doctor ford's attorney told the judiciary committee, who is this female attorney going to be

but somebody's father and husband and he stands accused and on thursday everyone will be watching to see both of them how they appear on television. rachel duffy is married to us congressman sean duffy and had this observation about the price of public service going forward. >> we raised the price of serving in government so high. people complain, are these, why are these the only candidates available? there's a reason a lot of people don't want to step up, this is why they don't want to step up. it is brutal. brian: of this came up in august and september, i'm ready for, this is what i signed up for, what happens after the fact, we know so little information not even providing it as opposed to defending these cases that liberal democrats might be upset with. brian: they had these accusations for 7 or 8 weeks and

sat on them. pete: the second one seemed to take forever as democrats flashed her out, found out who it was, pushed her to come forward, she said i don't even remember exactly, she finally says i do remember and i think of and she comes forward and that prompted susan collins to say okay, i need a second woman to come forward under oath, makes you wonder as much as mitch mcconnell wants a vote, susan collins is i can't say yes until i see the other one under oath how much longer? >> others will say the same thing when we hear from stormy daniels's attorney that he has a third potential storyline that could be coming out later this week. mitch mcconnell, senate majority leader talks about how dirty the whole thing has gotten. >> this is what the so-called resistance has become.

a smear campaign, pure and simple, aided and abetted by members of the united states senate. chairman grassley major the facts would be heard. brett kavanaugh and the american people deserve nothing less, brett kavanaugh will be voted on here on the senate floor. up or down? on the senate floor, nominated to the supreme court will receive a vote. pete: the president called mitch mcconnell saturday and said let's get going with this vote. he also, the president told grades the outcome is critical to the midterm elections and survival of the republican party in the house and senate. there a sanders once again talking about how what we are seeing in washington right now is a big circus. >> the process the democrats have played has been absolutely appalling and disgusting. even in the accuser's letter to

senator grassley she said she wanted to do this privately and reached out for that purpose but because the democrats wanted to play 11th hour political gain they waited until the last minute, made this a huge public circus and frankly hurt two different family lives that will never be the same. pete: that is the price of public service, the president yesterday when he was at the united nations said one thing about brett kavanaugh. there is a chance this could be one of the single most unfair, unjust things to happen to a candidate. >> republicans have so much on the line, the tone they take. like repeal and replace you have such a thin margin in the senate it takes one person to come out, they say thumbs down and it is over.

so michael avenatti said within 45 hours, 24 hours now, he's going to have more evidence about something that is worse, they have a name and accusation. is there a showdown or is it just the first round? ainsley: the first to follow. the more accusations that come out, the more storylines, the closer we get to midterm elections, we heard from rush limbaugh the other day that if republicans can't get through the confirmation of brett kavanaugh you can kiss the midterms goodbye. pete: you will see it live on the fox news channel. live on the fox news channel jillian has something. >> reporter: los angeles county sheriff deputy is shot and rushed to the hospital. officials only saying it happened during an altercation. one suspected that and two others in custody. the unidentified deputy was shot in the torso induced in stable condition.

pete: scenes for the last year we have been talking how there are a lot of democrats who would like to see a blue wave 62 days from today and have the democrats take control of the house and pick up some speed in the senate but there is some bad news for those hoping for a blue wave and that news is from gallup. ainsley: republican versus democrat favorability, republicans in september 2017 were 36%, democrats a 44%, fast-forward to september of this year, 45% for republicans, democrats at 44%. republicans up by 9 points. brian: the generic poll is 7 points. bad news for republicans in

the reason the republican party is getting more popular is it is the party of donald trump which is the party of results and fulfilled promises and it is interesting to see that over one year the republican party has a higher approval rating than democrats. ainsley: president obama did well every four years in the presidential election and he was able to win on his celebrity and when it was about results like midterms are, didn't do so hot. >> the big the republicans have as you lose brett kavanaugh you lose the senate and you put somebody else in, if you have a senate controlled by democrats and the president has a seat to fill, that is not going to be brett kavanaugh. brian: i think you knocked your microphone off. i think it is over there. >> just going to say that paul, it was before the accusations

attorney general had either resigned, about to resign or was about to be canned. chaos in the west wing, they were trying to get the story together. what do you think is going to happen thursday when they have a heart-to-heart? >> he is not going to be the deputy attorney general after the election. the question is timing, whether or not the president wants to fire him, whether he would prefer to have him resign, whether he wants him to be an election issue, what happens in terms of succession, who replaces him, what impact it has on mueller, but if you ask me who is the deputy attorney general the united states starting in january of next year it will not be rod rosenstein. brian: does it matter if he quit or if he is fired? >> sure. it becomes less of a political issue if he resigned but even if he resigns the democrats will

turn it into he resigns as a protest and is forced out. brian: the president could immediately put somebody in as opposed to confirming somebody. >> know. the president could appoint an intern and has to confirm. the day he mentioned the 25th amendment he was out. this shows incredible ignorance of constitutional law as a harvard student, i can't attribute that to him or a bias. the 25th amendment was intended for president who was shot, had a stroke, is incapacitated. not a president you disagree with or think is creating havoc in the white house. you don't use the 25th amendment promiscuously and even mentioning the 25th amendment, the new york times stand by its story, no joke, a serious discussion. that is disqualifying.

ainsley: the 25th amendment has been talked about for weeks, it has been in headlines before the new york times story about rosenstein, the anonymous op-ed, yesterday at the un, ambassador nikki haley and secretary of state mike pompeo were asked about this, it is not something everybody talks about. >> i'm not aware of any cabinet members talking about that. it is completely and totally absurd. >> no discussion with me about the 25th amendment in the report, there are two senior leaders who said the question was ludicrous. >> i have been at the center of this administration with other folks from virtually day one. i never heard anyone talk about it, whisper about it, joke about it in any way. ainsley: did you buy it? >> the 25th amendment would constitute an unlawful coup for the first time in american history. it would be unconstitutional. it would be illegal.

and nobody should be talking about it. if this president remains healthy and capable of making decisions, no matter how much we disagree with them, the 25th amendment is off the table. pete: we will know on thursday night of rod keeps his job. thursday night we will also know about the performance of brett kavanaugh before the committee. last night with martha maccallum, denying the accusations. >> i have never sexually assaulted anyone, not in high school, not ever. i have always treated women with dignity and respect. i'm looking for a fair process. a process where i can defend my integrity and clear my name. rob: are you getting it? >> i don't know. it depends on how tough the lawyer is in his cross-examination of the accuser

and he must be or she must be tough. she can't just be allowed to say i thought about it and didn't remember it and it took me six days to reconstruct my memory. a good cross-examining lawyer has to be gender free, raise the same kind of tough questions about repressed memory and how to reconstruct memory and exactly what she was told, by whom she was told, who made suggestions to her, how did her memory improve over time, we know biologically memories don't improve over time. they recede over time. how did her memory get so much better over six days everything with her lawyer? that is the subject of appropriate cross-examination and any woman or man who is afraid to be tough in cross-examining her or cross-examining him should not act. pete: a few that men will look like bullies in this me too era. >> the woman has to be just as tough on both of them.

pete: democrats are asking the fbi to look into that and the high school story. what would you do? >> when you are up for a lifetime appointment the fbi should be continuously updating its investigation, the minute an allegation comes out the fbi should be on top of it. doesn't need to start something a new. i have 500 students to appointed positions of authority, i have been interviewed by the fbi over and over and over again, no matter how trivial the issue is, they will ask me about it. it can only be done in a brief period of time. it can be done within 3 or 4 days. pete: you said avenatti is hurting your profession, democrats, you are not helping. what do you think? i don't think he helps himself. he may help himself in the sense of getting more clients but he

has acted less than responsibly. not only in this instance but other instances as well. brian: what happens after the hearing? >> it depends. if brett kavanaugh is as persuasive as he was on television the other day, and she is cross-examined effectively, moved to a confirmation. hearings are unpredictable and you just don't know what is going to happen and stay tuned. >> the case against impeaching trump is the name of the book. >> jillian walked into the studio. >> unbelievable story. a man is rescued from rubble 5 days after a major fire, 74-year-old raymond got trapped on the second floor after a senior living center went up in flames in washington dc.

originally checked them off as accounted for but they just found him stuck inside his apartment and called for help. he survived off water bottles, no one was seriously hurt, he wasn't seriously hurt thankfully. a children's book author using colin kaepernick as a role model while teaching kids about racism. anastasia higginbotham reading her book while kneeling next to a cardboard colin kaepernick cut out. she told the local paper, quote, colin kaepernick neil for justice, a end to police brutality, known for equity in education and economic justice so i going to kneel next to him as i read. the title of her book, not my idea, a book about whiteness. a woman with no regard for the car parked next to her caught smashing into it repeatedly. watch this. the new jersey woman spending twee 7 minutes trying to back out of her parking spot but she runs into a little trouble scraping the side of the car next to her.

she eventually tries wiping the exit away with a cloth before finally pulling out and driving away. if you are that other car owner, sorry about that. it is national one hit one today, we are throwing it way back. is my own favorite. ♪ never going to let you down ♪ never going to run around ♪ and hurt you ♪ ainsley: not actually one hit wonder. everyone on twitter came after me. ♪ ♪ painted love ♪ painted love ♪ ainsley: are these videos not great? ghosting it. we asked about your favorite one hit wonders and these are the most popular responses, josephine tweeting come eileen.

why? >> because the democrats treat those who are accused inconsistently. brett kavanaugh seems to be hung out to dry before he even has a chance to speak his piece. i am all for women's rights but this is tremendously unfair. >> reporter: you feel democrats pick and choose who they are going to go at. >> yes because there has been a history of how the democrats treat those who have been sexually abused and i am not sure that this is a shining illustration of how somebody accused should be treated. >> reporter: your son is a navy diver, your dad is a paratrooper, thank you for your service. you say the situation is so ugly that it hurts. what do you mean by that? >> we are all human beings. to be accused out of the blue by an unsubstantiated accuser is

not fair and it puts the person on the defensive and he or she can't do much about it. it is more than mean, it is completely unfair and i don't how we get out of this because i need a hill did very well by her episode. now she has written books and gets paid well for speeches and we will see what happens. >> reporter: let's go to dd, a small business owner, her husband is a marine. you say this is a teaching moment. >> i work with a lot of youth in our community and this is an opportunity to talk about making good choices. we live in america so none of us have an answer to this. we have to wait and do due process, can't be popping up on social media. we have to wait. of these allegations are true,

that will come out. if they are not they are not true but we put this in our elected officials hands, none of us can say that. i don't think it is fair to judge anyone on a strict the an allegation and as a teaching moment it is good to talk to our kids about putting yourselves in situations whether you are 18 or 28 or 48, that is a conversation open or. >> reporter: before we go i went to say hi to art larson, part of a to timer diner club. he was at one of the diners in williams bay, he is here in barrington, illinois. who else is going to be part of the 2-time club? i challenge you, viewers. >> did he know you are going to be there? >> thank you, live report. pete: social media pays off
