president's lawyer equidistant guilty plea for spitting on the sidewalk and said mueller epstein is, quote, overzealous, media inspired prosecutors, they are sick puppies. we know mueller can be very tough on those who can't pleas in return for cooperation. last month he accused former trump campaign manager paul manafort of lying to him after a similar deal. heather: more is expected by friday. i encourage everyone to read this. it is only 6 pages long and the majority looks like this. won't take long to get through. thank you so much. former clinton advisor mark penn is speaking against tactics used by robert mueller epstein. he says the russia probe started as an insurance policy against donald trump's election and has been completely out of control. >> what i heard is the independent counsel's office

instead of getting people to plead guilty to things so they can build a circumstantial case against the president in a report, misusing the judicial process. if in fact general flynn was colluding with the russians he wouldn't be getting prison time. that means on its face he was not colluding with the russians. we are here because an effort was begun to have an insurance policy against donald trump winning the presidency. i spent a year fighting the independent counsel for president clinton. i thought that was wrong. this has been wrong from the beginning. heather: michael flynn terrorist as national security adviser from january to february 2017. before that he worked for president obama. we talk about that coming up. longtime ally of the president refusing to testify before the senate about the russia investigation was roger stone

julie: are watching "fox and friends first". recommending a lenient sentence for michael flynn saying the x trump official gave some substantial, to disprove any collusion, jim hansen is here to weigh in. a lot of big breaking news yesterday. what are your initial thoughts on it? >> what flynn is involved in is

more about fleeing turkey and trump russia. this is another in a long series of nothing burger is the left has gotten extremely excited about hoping they were going to bring down trump on nonexistent collusion. flynn's big problems he and his son had a consulting firm that took a big pile of money to turkey to do sketchy things. when that came to light and he didn't come clean about it mueller has leverage against him and used that to get a guilty plea to lying under oath and used that as a way to intimidate other reluctant witnesses into talking to him. heather: this is 6 pages long, the majority is rejected, this portion right here references unknown criminal investigation and talks about cooperating in terms of questions regarding russia collusion investigation and another investigation. what do you make of this

criminal investigation that we don't know what this is? >> that is much more likely to be related to turkey operations than anything related to transition or talks with the russians during the transition. those were all things the national security adviser is perfectly authorized to do. the lying under oath about that and the fact that mueller has leverage on him due to the nature of what he is doing or promises to do for turkey because i don't think they delivered the work. it is a lot more intimidation by mueller that enabled him to make this into something. shannon: rudy giuliani agrees with you and here's what he had to say, always colorful. he likened the offense in the flynn guilty plea to spitting on the sidewalk with major repercussions for many. he said there was nothing in the sentencing memo to suggest

collusion which it doesn't and as you said, the mueller team has been overzealous and the left overzealous in looking at this memo as it came out. >> reporter: if that is the case we will have a whole lot of fire and fury from the left, democrats and the media trying to make this into trump is going down, we finally caught him. i don't think there was anything that is collusion in the sense normal people think of. heather: if there was collusion with all the leaks that have come out and continue to come out and will come out today in regards to what this redacted information is, if there was anything tied to collusion do you think that will be leaked? >> i am pretty sure the new york times headline would be running that instead of the fact that it is all rejected. trump is going to have to face

more accusations about flynn is not going to jail which is probably correct and whatever information he gave probably helped mueller's ability to intimidate other witnesses. heather: worked for president obama. for much longer than he worked for donald trump. there is that. we appreciate it as always, have a good day. the time is 18 after the top of the hour. members of the migrant caravan caught trying to sneak onto american soil. the brand-new order at the border from jim mattis and president bush's dog sully is a, quote, waste of your emotional energy. that outrageous article spiking major back lash online. your comments pouring in on this one.

>> we are not going to remove him through impeachment. the only way to remove donald trump is to beat him at the election box, democrats should investigate whether there is evidence of problems in his administration so make it harder for them to get reelected in 2020. if they tried to impeach him we have republicans coming on board to remove him. it is a waste of time, a waste of political capital and democrats losing their majority. heather: democrats lining up to get on the house judiciary committee which presides over impeachment proceedings. meantime michael bloomberg takes a tour of iowa with an eye toward 2020. then former new york city mayor visiting a new documentary on climate change but bloomberg took some shots at donald trump. >> they do not think he is suitable for the job of being president. it is a temperament issue and inquisitiveness issue,

willingness to look at facts and if you do that it is hard to understand why you would not have a more sensible position on guns and the climate. heather: bloomberg says he will decide whether to run for president in 2020 by february. the one who did think he is not running in case you care, michael avenatti. he will not run in 2020 at least for now. 26 after the top of the hour, they got what they wanted but paris is still burning, protesters in france say they will keep rioting about a freeze on gas tax hikes to support the climate change agenda. a live look at the russia rotunda where president george hw bush lies in state. the nation gearing up to say their final farewells. presidential historian jane hansen cook will reflect on the legacy of bush 41 up next.

>> reporter: the last 3 weekends france has been gripped by the worst riots in a generation, 300,000 protesters took to the streets and this weekend police fought back using tear gas and water cannons. 3 people have died, 130 injured and 412 arrested. president macron's tax on fuel was responsible renewable energy encounter global warming but there was fury across france and people said they care more about food on their table and warmth in their homes. >> don't give a damn about that. what they want is to have enough money at the end of the month. >> reporter: ambulance drivers, students and riot police are voicing their grievances. the green taxes have failed in literally and spain and even environmentalists acknowledge the tax was premature as paris cleans up, already bracing for another round of violence. president macron campaigned on sweeping reforms and announced he would never be bullied by protesters. it appears that is exactly what happened. in london, benjamin hall, fox news.

but a smoking saw. you have to be willfully blind not to come to the conclusion this was orchestrated and organized by people under the command of mbs and he was involved in the demise of jamal khashoggi. heather: he denies knowing about the murder in istanbul in october. donald trump is cast doubt on whether the prince was involved. a federal appeals court determines it is legal to encourage illegal immigration. the ninth circuit court of appeals striking down a law which made it a crime saying it violates the first amendment. this particular law went into effect before donald trump took office, the ninth circuit has ruled against those policies. ♪

it was that simple. he talked in his inaugural address about being a good citizen and loyal friend and loving parents and a good citizen was someone who left his home and neighborhood and town better than he found it and as we remember him today it is that simple. president george hw bush left his home and his nation better than he found it. heather: as a historian you have some interesting notes. one of which was george bush became president 200 years after george washington. >> that is right. 1789, 1989. what, comparing those two both of them prioritized manners and being polite, civility was important to george washington and it was very important to george hw bush and how he developed such good relationships with people with civility.

that is going to be remembered about him in decades to come. heather: you can see the relationship with people that played out as he never met as they lined up for hours. peter doocy said the line was 21/2 hours long to get into the rotunda to pay your final respects. he is also the youngest fighter pilot from world war ii, the oldest and last of the world war ii presidents. >> he signed up for world war ii as soon as he could, at 18, delay going to college to fight. he is the last of our world war ii presidents. we had several presidents who served in world war ii and he was the last to serve as president. heather: how does he tie in with president john adams? >> he and john adams will forever have a linked legacy. they are both the only presidents whose sons also became president and that says a

lot about their character. george hw bush wanted his sons to serve, crank it back in. we have been privileged, let's give back. he didn't say you have to be president, you have to be this, you have to be governor. he let it be broad and let them use their talent in a way that works for them. that is why it works, he constantly told his sons and daughters he loved them. you see that in his writings. he wrote we love you, we love our family. that really motivated his sons, out of love, not pressure. heather: live coverage begins at 9:00 on the fox news channel with bret baer and martha maccallum. thank you for joining us with your insight, appreciate it. the time is 20 minutes until the top of the hour. big changes could be coming to the post office. what it could mean for your amazon orders.

across the country. is this freedom of expression or does it take advantage of free speech? here to weigh in the director of campusreform.org, cabot phillips. always love having you with us. tell us what you know about this art exhibit. the images are pretty disturbing. >> the next two years traveling to different universities, social justice are depicting donald trump as a devil type figure, saying resistance, others say repent, menace images of donald trump. i don't think the problem is freedom of expression. we should be defending freedom of expression for all people even if it is the social justice art display. the problem many americans have is when their freedom of expression is so 1-sided especially in places like college campus. of this social justice art display has are depicting president obama as a devil figure or hillary clinton is an evil which there would be riots on this campus but because it is

against conservatives people are used to people on the right being depicted as horrible things. they are used to it. it is a 1-sided issue. that is why people -- heather: we keep talking about it but it doesn't change. the one side. >> it is important for people to talk about it. people sending things like this. accountability is an important factor breaking that one sidedness. this art display is by no means isolated, at john jay college this year there was an art display on campus painted solely by people detained at guantánamo bay some of which are currently convicted terrorists. the social justice narrative is nothing new. heather: we have a statement from someone at the school, the call for work was broad asking to give voice to issues of

social justice, politics and environment. that is the response. let's move on to this. how in the world a little mermaid song could be inoffensive to anyone but this princeton archipelago pooled it from their repertoire. >> the university decided it was too offensive to have the a cappella group singing students should not be encouraging this type of behavior, it is misogynist, plays into hetero normative culture, they bring up a man and woman on stage. let's remove the entire the mermaid scene, if we are going to remove the song remove it because it wasn't the best disney movie in my opinion, let's do beauty and the beast but this is another example of the snowflake culture of saying we can't have anything nice

because everyone can be offensive if we try hard enough. this is an example of that narrative. heather: bringing home the bacon, not allowed to say that anymore either. >> not a lot of bacon right now. heather: have a great day. the time is 10 minutes until the top of the hour. apparently president bush's service dog is a, quote, waste of your emotional energy. that outrageous headline sparking major back lash online, your comments pouring in on this.
