resolution to vote against the president's national declaration and we will get a vote on tuesday morning in washington. katie: house speaker nancy pelosi talking about the push back on president trump's resolution. listen to this. >> on monday, we will send to rules committee the resolution of disapproval of the president's action. we say that not in any partisan way. we do not say it in any political way. we say it in a patriotic way. katie: president trump knew this was coming when he declared this national emergency and signed the funding bill. he talked about getting sue you had. he talked about push back from democrats and talked about how he hasn't had any help from them when it comes to putting forward a plan. i find it interesting spending all this time to come up with a resolution to condemn the action. not spending time on a bill to actually move immigration reform forward? griff: it's a bit of a futile point the president said i'm going to veto that as soon as it happens. take a listen.

>> will i veto it? 100 percent. 100 percent. and i don't think it survives a veto. we have too many smart people that want border border . i will veto it, yes. todd: we have to remember despite nancy pelosi saying this is not partisan. this is not political. the vote, or the decision to put this to a vote on tuesday is both partisan and political. take a look at the lines. griff: great point. great point. if you looked at speaker pelosi sound bite she is in laredo, texas right on the border. theres with a delegation from the house democrats and the house homeland security committee actually in el paso across from me seeing what's going on on the border. when they come in the case of the democrats that came to el paso. there is a 470% inreiss from last year in total number of apprehensions will we hear from that committee and those democrats that they went and saw the problem that it is? will they call it a crisis? we'll find out. katie: that's the question. if they don't think it's a

crisis, what did they classify it as? we have heard continualably inhumane conditions inside ice detention centers they are overflowing with people. border control saying we don't have room for families come over here and because the bar for asylum is very low in terms the first initial claim people are still abusing that congress hasn't put forth any solutions yet to fix the asylum fraud length claim problem and haven't done anything to make sure that central americans can be turned away and deported immediately like illegal immigrants from mexico coy. todd: we have all morning long to delve into your experience on the border. you are amazing resource because you have been down there so much more than any other journalist. what is the sense that you are getting? how does it to a head? griff: it comes to a head whether you have a bipartisan solution when it comes to what is increase in traffic and increase in narcotics. the rbg sector i covered they have days 1,000 arrests are happening. 1,000 plus pounds of

narcotics are coming across. but, you know, the president is responding it is something that the american people understand and he is sending another 1,000 troops. i think we have a graph i want to put out. 5,000 troops existing on border and deployment. another 1,000 troops are being sent this coming week by march 1st. you have a total of 6,000. they will serve in an advisory, in a capacity that will support the efforts of our border patrol. because, when you have 1,000 people come over, many of them are family units. they have to be processed. that's agents off of the line. agents who job is to stop the illegal entry having come-to-come back in some cases. they are sick. they have to be dealt with or given care. it's a resource issue. so at some point to answer your question it's going to have to be a bipartisan solution that deals with it. katie: the president is sending troops to the border to bowl centers the barriers that are there.

julio castro says it makes sense to take them all down. >> we have 654 miles of fencing already out of 1994 miles of the border. and so would it surprise me if if there are places to take some of that down? no. todd: if you think this is isolated view when i was down in el paso and talking with the anti-trump protesters i asked them point blank should we tear down borders and walls they all said. griff: disagreement amongst the migrants in the caravan. we asked testimony of them whether they wanted to seat wall come down? they thought that was a good idea. katie: they probably don't want the wall to come down. the green new deal has been in the news a lot. proposal put into real legislation. senator dianne feinstein was in her office with a bunch of people, children, who wanted to talk to her about the green new deal. and listen to how she responded to them wanting her to vote for it. >> we are trying to promote

the green new deal. >> well, there are reasons why i can't. because there is no way to pay for it you just can't go in and say okay. we're going to take hundreds of millions from here and hundreds of millions from there. it doesn't -- it just doesn't work that way. >> scientists have said that we have 12 years to turn this around. >> well, it's not going. >> the government is supposed to fix. >> can't do that in 12 years. >> nature, if this doesn't turn around in 10 years going to be consequences. >> you come in here and say it has to be my way or the highway. i don't respond to that i was elected by almost a million votes plurality. and i know what i'm doing. so you know, maybe you should listen a little bit. katie: who let these kids into my office. griff: i feel sorry for senator dianne feinstein. whatever the politics are she is explaining her job to

children who have been persuaded by some of the more outrageous irrational statements made about what this green deal. katie: do you know what kids are good at memorizing lines and they clearly were memorizing talking points sent out about the 12 years and we are doomed kind of thing. they clearly gave them a sheeft paper and said say these things to dianne feinstein. >> you know, the serious side of what we just watched is and i have two teenage daughters. i have watched in their generation the movement that started with getting rid of straws, i thought it was the most preposterous thing ever but this documentary that showed that there is straws are the worst thing in the world. now you go many places you can't get straws. katie: that's true. todd: here is what dianne feinstein had to say about brouhaha most uncomfortable piece of tv i will see all morning. i want the children from the sunrise movement to know they were heard loud and clear. i have been and remain committed to do everything i can to enact real, meaningful climate change legislation. let's not forget she does herself have seven grand kids.

i want to pose this one little thing to the kids not to be mean to children. how did she get to senator feinstein's office? was it by car? was it by plane? activities going to school? do you get driven by car? would you rather walk? these are things these kids need to be told there is a reality of the situation it is you kind of need a car. katie: senator dianne feinstein is doing the right thing we are not going to implement an entire green new deal because kids want us to. there are real debates to be had about the environment and climate change as people say. if we are not going to do that based on kids that come in with talking points into congressional offices on capitol hill. griff: as the father of children who paid for a lot of things for your children because that's what parents do, you have to look at these kids should be talking about the economy and the impact that a green deal could have on impacting the economy which, by the way, if you look at this week yahoo finance, let's show you this headline dow's winning streak is the longest in 20 years.

may come. how do you arrive to that number and what do you think it will be? >> right. so thank you for having me. it's great to be here. so one of the trends we have seen is since last, really last summer the number of apprehensions at the border, the people catching trying to come across have really soared. and they have gone up quickly. that's really driven by the economics here. we have seen a tremendous number of openings from the survey. and what that tells us there are a lot of open jobs we really can't fill and a lot of those are clearly in the lower segment. by our count about 2 million open job in that migrant segment that they would serve. people are responding to that from south of the border. there is work here if you can get across the border there is great work and they're coming and coming in big numbers. katie: what about the asylum part of this? as we have seen the surge people aren't coming and saying i'm coming for a job. they come to the border and say they are seeking asylum. do the laws as we were talking before the segment, do the laws on the books

encourage this type of illegal immigration for economic reasons but is it done based on a false premise? >> yeah. i think a lot of it is. i don't think all of it is. a lot of it is. people want to come up for a better life. a better life includes being more safe, right? but i think that the drivers are primarily economic. the people who come up are going to play the games by the rules as they are enforced not as they are written. if they can see they can use asylum as a method, they will use that. be very careful when you draft laws because people will use the means available. griff: the goal is saying better life whether you are had honduras or guatemala. let me show you the numbers here. 381,000 immigrants cross into the u.s. undetected that's 2018. you say it's going to be incredibly larger than that number right there because of this reason. so, when you hear some politicians say that there is no crisis, that this isn't happening, how do you

respond. >> well, it is happening. we had a down period really from the great recession from 2008 to 2007 until 2018. and you can see that in remittances back to mexico. there was a whole 10 year loss decade for illegal migrants and that's why they drifted out of the country. that ended last summer. remittances at new all-time high passing the 2007 level. there are a lot of jobs and beginning to come back. that's why we see these numbers building back now to actually prerecession levels. we think in 2019 we will be back at 2008 levels. so at levels before the obama administration. and they are just responding to the fact that the u.s. has a very strong economy. katie: what is the policy solution to solving this problem? >> well, i mean, we have a solution that's different from everybody else's. our view is that illegal immigration is a black market. the u.s. has never beaten any black market of any kind. whether that's drugs or

gambling or prostitution. and the best way to do it it's s. to legalize it and tax it we did that in '33 with repeal prohibition and gambling in las vegas and marijuana in a sort of semi chaotic way but making progress. and, for example here we can see at the border seizures of marijuana in the unsecured border have fallen by 60%. griff: thousand pound days coming across the border. thank you we have you back when we have hard numbers later in the year. >> thank you very much. katie: an attack on college campus caught on camera. while police work to identify the attacker. far from the first time conservatives have been targeted. we take a look at the disturbing trend that happens far too often on college campuses up next. griff: this boy gets creative turning to ring door gol ask his dad a question when he wasn't home. the awesome exchange going

everyone. but in a week where there is a lot of coverage about a fake hate crime in chicago, there was a real hate crime out at university california berkeley. you saw that horrendous footage where there was a conservative activist at our turning point u.s.a. recruiting event where they were just talking to students, trying to grow our chapter at university california berkeley. and our students know we're going to be in the ideological minority at uc berkeley. understand it's not exactly easiest place for conservatives. nonetheless, we are there and recruiting and someone found our message so disturbing that they had to challenge us physically and violently and thankfully the police got involved. they found this individual. you saw in those videos this is happening hundreds of times a year. not necessarily always physically but we get verbal abuse, the harassment, and also just the retaliation from the leftist people on campus that try prevent us from being there in the first place. katie: charlie, this isn't

just happening on college campuses. you, of course, were confronted with candice owens in philadelphia last year. let's listen to that and take a look at it. >> [whistle] [screams] >> charlie, those were violent antifa protesters running you guys out of a cafe. is this getting worse when it comes to college campuses and just conservatives in general being able to just go about their daily lives in america and have their own belief system? >> yeah. i'm afraid that unless the left gets called out for this ridiculous behavior, it is getting worse. and so what is so scary about this example at university california berkeley is that a staff member for the university praised this attack. came out and tweeted and said not a professor but a staff member for the education program said thank you for coming out and challenging turning point u.s.a.

i mean, this is really what we are getting where physical violence is being heralded by official staff members of universities? so the left hate the idea that there are other ideas. we are not going to back down. we don't ever engage in any sort of physical confrontation but we are also not go going to allow the leftist mob to get away with using physical intimidation against conservative students. we have so many people out there that want to be able to grow chapters around the idea of free markets and. katie: a real debate. todd: uc berkeley's commitment to freedom of expression and perspective to unwavering, as is its intolerance. >> they are saying the right thing. do the right thing. are they reaching teaching tolerance of other people's views. the most intoler rent people in the world you will find are liberals preaching

country and some instances that continues today. katie: gianno this is personal for you, you are from chicago and family members victims of real violence in that city. you are always wanting to move the conversation about race and division forward in this country. what would be your advice for people in the aftermath of this situation? >> well, certainly knowing that there was in 2017 about 7100 cases reported of hate crimes in this country, knowing that white supremacist or whomever else would think of this as an opportunity, because they know that victims wouldn't be exactly believed, there is going to be a higher intensity in terms of proving claims. we should wait for all the facts, certainly. but we can see that there can be a potential uptick in these kind of situations. i think when we are talking about, you know, issues of race and racism, we have to listen for the facts. we certainly do. we obviously have to listen to each other because

oftentimes in situations like this where weather they be charlottesville or anything else, we are more times going into our corners and talking past each other versus trying to understand these issues and have these very candid conversations. katie: right. >> i think what this has done for any network, fox or whoever else, we can at least have the conversation and hopefully not try to bash one another, smear a particular movement because we may disagree with them. katie: a little grace and sticking to the facts would be helpful. gianno caldwell we appreciate your perspective, thank you. >> thank you. katie: a nebraska state senator calls our flag a rag. his colleague, who is a veteran, reacts next hour. and a new report reveals some of the most personal information on your smart phone is finding its way into facebook even if you don't use an account. kurt the cyberguy is here with a warning next. ♪ i got my mind set on you ♪ i got my mindset on you ♪

more and more information about us in a deeply personal way without us knowing it. katie: are they paying these apps. >> even if they aren't i don't know. a lot of their influence comes that apps have to participate in facebook because they have such a large platform. what we do know is facebook is not disclosing very clearly to us in any manner that they are doing this. and, for example, inside this report, it talks about someone who may use a health app. and now facebook is learning seconds after you enter in very deeply personal information about a female cycle, for example, that they are recording that. why would they want that in the more they know about you, the more they can marry it up to an advertiser. but, my problem with this is if i said it was all right, and i knew you were doing it this way, fine. here's the app. i want. i want an app. that wakes up congress right now to what's going on in california and silicon valley with this

i think i can forgive him for doing that. griff: gets off on the defenseness. katie: cute and fluffy. griff: i say innocent. todd: i say we give him the chair. somebody stole katie pavlich's hard boils eggs. katie: breakfast. todd: something really serious. fox news confirming robert mueller's report will not be released while president trump is at second north korea summit in vietnam. katie: this come as the showdown over the president's national emergency heats up in washington. griff griff that's where we find garrett tenney with more on the president wants plans democratic effort on that resolution. garrett, good morning, how are you? >> hey, good morning y'all. a lot of folks have been saying for more than a year now that the special counsel's investigation is coming to a close. that may now actually be the case a source familiar with the special counsel's investigation told fox news this week that it is near the end game. however, a senior official of the justice department tells us they are not expecting to receive the

mueller report next week saying that any reporting special counsel's report will be delivered to the department of justice next week are incorrect. on friday, president trump was asked if he has discussed the release of the mueller report with newly confirmed attorney general william barr. >> there was no collusion. there was no obstruction. there was no anything. so that's the nice part. there was no phone calls, no nothing. i won the race. do you know why i won the race i was a better candidate than she was and had nothing to do with russia and everybody knows it's a hoax. one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on this country. i look forward to seeing the report. if it's an honest report it will say that. >> while the mueller report is not expected to be released next week while the president is in vietnam. house democrats are planning to try to block his national emergency declaration to build a border wall. a piece of legislation to do that expected to easily pass the house on tuesday before it heads to the g.o.p. controlled senate where republican also face a lot of pressure to back up president trump. however, even if it passes the senate and heads to the white house, the president

has said he will absolutely veto the legislation if it comes to his desk. back to y'all. katie: garrett tinney, thank you. grave griff interesting to see what the senate does. katie: which republican also come over. todd: susan collins is one. katie: mike lee believes it is legal based on what congress has creed to the executive branch in terms of power he does believe it's unconstitutional. griff: lisa murkowski. do you think that's honestly what they truly believe or is this just a concession because there are those on the fence g.o.p. senators? katie: right. well, the president hopefully will not have to veto that while he is overseas in vietnam for the summit next week with kim jong un. this is the second summit that they will be having to talk about denuclearization of north korea. that is something the president has on his plate for next week and also with the mueller report, we also have breaking news on that that it will be released at some point. todd: right in the future.

katie: in the future some time it will end up being released. griff: attorney general barr doesn't have it. todd: let's let him take a look at it first. obviously we have been talking about the green new deal for a couple weeks now talking about how this may not be financially feasible because it requires trillions upon trillions of dollars. well, a bunch of kids decided to confront senator dianne feinstein, a democrat in her office about what they perceived as a lack of her support for the green new deal. they came armed with some memorized lines and here's what all went down. >> we are trying to promote the green new deal. >> well, there are reasons why i can't because there's no way to pay for it you just can't go in and say okay, we're going to take hundreds of millions from here and hundreds of millions from there. it doesn't -- it just doesn't work that way. >> scientists has said that we have 12 years to turn this around. >> well, it's not going to get. >> the government is supposed to fix.

>> can't do that. >> senator, if this doesn't get turned around in 10 years you are looking at the faces of the people who are going to be living with the consequences. >> you come in here and you say it has to be my way or the highway. i don't respond to that i was elected by almost a million votes plurality. and i know what i'm doing. so, you know, maybe people should listen a little bit. katie: i wonder if kids know what plurality means. that video and the organization of those children was done by the sunrise movement which is an organization that is dedicated to building an army of young people to make climate change an urgent priority across america. so, dianne feinstein i think handled it pretty well considering she is the adult and these are children and they do have concerns but they are children. griff: an important voice but, you know, she is getting some flack for it let me put up a tweet from somebody you may remember brian fallon, a former clinton campaign spokesman. is he talking about this.

he said the kids in the difi video don't give explicative about pay go or 60 vote threshold in the senate. they just want to confront climate change. if you are running for president this year you better see the world through the kids' eyes not difis ouch. katie: that's not very nice. todd: she goes i want the children from the sunrise movement to know they were heard loud and clear. i have been and remain committed to doing everything i can to enact real meaningful climate change legislation. but, you mentioned earlier these kids came in there with scripted lines. let's remember every time you see a union protest 75 to 80% of the people out there protesting are paid. when you go see one of these antifa protest, a lot of those guys are being paid by organizations to go out there. these kids may or may not be getting paid. we don't know. but it's clear these kids were set up with talking points to go in there and do this. we all agree we all live on this earth. we don't want it to go away.

it's financially realistic to do it all in 10 years. we need to come up with solutions but that's just more lunancy. katie: that's the point, right? now the choice is if you are not for the green new deal you are against the environment and not willing to address environmental issues. that's just not true. even if you are someone who is a democrat who believes in climate change you can look at the green new deal and say this is not the way to go about real meaningful efforts to actually clean up the environment and will destroy the u.s. economy along the way. but i do know that kids like hamburgers and in the green new deal you are not allowed to eat hamburgers at all. i don't know if they know about that they might be against it salads you are allowed to eat in the green new deal. todd: if we're going to be talking salads you will excuse me i need to get out out my comb. what are we talking about? it turns out the minnesota senator amy klobuchar or klobuchar however you want

to say it got in trouble for being too mean, too caustic with her staff over the course of her many years in politics there is a new "new york times" article called how amy klobuchar treats her staff and it reads as follows: here's the relevant quote. she called comb from her bag and began eating th salad with it according to four people familiar with the episode. >> yuck. todd: thank you sound bite. she handed her comb to the eat it. katie: staff failed to bring on the plastic utensils to eat the salad. todd: they fell on the ground. katie: she got upset she didn't have anything to eat it with and ate it with a comb allegedly. you know what? she is innovative. at least she didn't eat it with her hands. griff: real initiative. running late, crazy schedule. stamping to death probably hadn't eaten all day get on the plane with a salad. just wants to eat it what

can i do? reaches in her purse i don't have a utensil. todd: you have one too. griff: then the fault is she asks the staff could you clean it? now, in fairness, those moments of being on the road, being on the run, doing whatever, i'm not sure this amounts to being worthy of a front page "new york times" article to says how horrible this person is. todd: to katie's point nope of this happens if we are just allowed to eat hamburgers all the time. katie: praising her for reusing plastic comb instead of using a plastic fork. griff: three celebrities finding themselves in trouble with the law this morning. katie: todd is breaking down the legal drama beginning with the bombshell overnight. todd: obviously yesterday if you were watching tv. the world just blew up with sex cases. we begin with r. kelly. there he is. r. kelly behind bars on 10 criminal sex abuse charges

involving underaged girls. the disgraced music star turning himself in to chicago police overnight on accusations dating back to 1998. the embattled singer is accused of assaulting four women. at least three of which were between the ages of 13 and 17. kelly's lawyer claims all the women are lying. >> two of the cases are super old, not accurate. not true. it's going to be vindicated on all these charges. one by one if it has to be. todd: all these felony charges coming just weeks after lifetime released that documentary. everybody is talking about. detailing several sex abuse allegations against kelly. he has repeatedly denied similar accusations. r. kelly is going to make his first court appearance later today. he is facing up to 70 years in prison. now to another big story everybody is talking about new england patriots owner robert craft now facing two solicitation charges in

jupiter, florida. the billionaire businessman allegedly videotaped paying prostitutes on cameras planted by police at a florida spa. a spokesperson for kraft releasing a statement that says, quote: we categorically deny that mr. kraft engaged in any illegal activity. the league saying, quote: the nfl is aware of the ongoing law enforcement matter and will continue to monitor developments. a warrant for kraft's arrest is expected this week. so much happening just on a friday in an area we didn't think would be happening can't forget about jussie smollett the wild story there the actor now being removed from the final two episodes of empire. this as he claims he has an unrelated drug problem now free on $100,000 bond. who thought that yesterday the two big stories about famous people in the news were not going to involve jussie smollett. katie: i find it interesting

can you blame creating alleged hate crime on a drug problem. griff: interesting to see how much of this continues on the 2020 campaign trail because of the attack on the maga hat. katie: you have kamala harris and cory booker they haven't removed their tweets and haven't been commenting a whole lot about initially saying this was modern day lynching attempt, et cetera, et cetera. and now they seem to be kind of pushing it away they would like to move on from it as they continue on the campaign trail. todd: what will be interesting is what happens now between the time and pick individual who is going to be running. there is going to be something in the news that's going to warrant a knee jerk reaction. going to be curious to see who does that knee jerk and who steps back? katie: bernie sanders raising nearly $6 million in the first day of his presidential campaign but in a new op-ed, michael knowles says don't be fooled by bernie's money sanders 2020 is going nowhere. he joins us live coming up next.

raised the same amount of money in the same amount of time. as you recall ron paul never won the g.o.p. nomination. bernie sanders will not win the democrat nomination. the problem for bernie is he a victim of his own success. bernie sanders has so successfully radicalized the democrat party, brought it over to the extreme left, had it redefine itself along socialist lines that now the question is if every other candidate in the field is spouting the same sort of things that bernie sanders does, then why would anybody vote for bernie sanders? especially today in a democrat party that is obsessed with identity politics? if you've got the same radicalism from everybody, why would you vote for the fairly ancient old white guy? katie: so, michael, that's a big question every candidate is going to try to define themselves. bernie sanders is the original socialist. you have people bike kamala

harris say i'm not a democratic socialist. the question now where is bernie sanders lane? a fox news poll recently showed when you look at socialism vs. capitalism, 57% have a favorability -- a favorable opinion o capitalism and 25% of socialism. how can you win when the majority of the country is staunchly against what he is proposing. >> funerally fo formally the pao corrupt they will rig it again and keep bernie sanders out of the election. what happened bernie in 2016 he was running as the anti-hillary vote. he opposed hillary clinton and all of her empty promises and all of her wickedness. but, today, of course, there are so many other options. if he makes it through, those numbers seem favorable. the majority of the country is not yet socialist. but, when you look at the democrat base and when you look especially at millennials, the numbers really start to turn. socialism is resurging.

this is a great testament to bernie sanders' regressive politics and regressive etiology. but in the general election i think it's a loser for democrats. griff: i don't know though. here's the problem with your argument, michael. this is one. sanders won 23 primaries and caucuses last go around and pretty much robbed of it because of the dnc. people are still antiestablishment so, why do you say he won't at least give every other person in this giant field a run for their money? >> because he was running against run one of the most despised candidates in all of american history and perfected me okay caperfect med. today we have joe biden will candidates speaking to the same people bernie does. i think they have much more success. katie: michael knowles, appreciate your perspective. thank you. >> good to see you. katie: state senator trashing the american flag comparing old glory to a swastika. his colleague, a veteran, giving an emotional response

of your observe. what's going through your mind when you hear mr. chambers' comments? >> well, he starts in the morning with his distaste for the pledge of allegiance and holy prayer and then as the day goes on and debates happen, it's one of the issues that he does despise and that's the flag and patriotism and it chewed away at my soul and there was a point i couldn't hold the emotion back anymore. that's kind of what caused that moment. todd: this isn't the only time we have heard something like this in recent memory. there are a number of individuals and quite frankly it's dated back to the vietnam war who do not respect old glory. when you see all of that in the aggregate, as somebody who has served our nation and who has given so much and has seen people give so much, what's going on in our country? >> well, there is a lack of respect. the respect isn't just for the flag but for

individuals. you know, there was a point where someone who was senior to you, you always held a degree of respect and you said, sir or ma'am. and we are in an age where it's almost like everything has been turned upside down. there is enough hate and there is enough of a lack of understanding of our history and how we got to where we are at. because of that, they don't show the respect that they should to individuals or the flag. todd: we reached out to state senator ernie chambers' office for a statement. we were not able to reach anyone. mr. brewer, can i only think who does mr. chambers think his freedom is provided from, by? it's unbelievable. all the fact sizes that individuals like yourself go through. and people like mr. chambers just don't get it tom brewer, thank you so much. >> thank you, sir. todd: a new meaning to the word freeze for one deputy. how he is winning over some kids but losing in a game of

to if you believe that at any moment any one of them will deliver reparations to you. it's not going to happen it means nothing. katie: does it move the country forward or fuel division in the country? >> file it under it means nothing. it absolutely means nothing. we as a country have moved forward. we have overturned the blight of racism. we have dealt with so many issues in this country and they want to drag us back because what does it solve to your question? it solves nothing. griff: is it laying a trap then for supporters that would say if you are not for it then perhaps you are racist? >> under president trump the best form of reparation has been laid out. the best way out of poverty is a job. when you look at the employment rate in this country, when you look at teenage employment, very important to start a jobs. black women, black males, college graduates. people of all ethnicity because i don't like separating them deal with the identity politics. when you look at those numbers, the available jobs and the term in job the time spent in the job, the

ability to be in a job longer, that is the best form of reparation to move forward. todd: forget trump supporters go to white people in general. if i as a white person say that's not a great idea. don't i run the risk ofable labeled racist that includes white people running in the 2020 primary. >> if you don't have what it takes to stabbed up and say i am not that simple phrase when someone calls you a racist. don't run for the presidency. if someone -- whoever you are in life, if somebody calls you something, and you are not, stand up for it, stop giving in to other people's descriptions of who you are. these politicians are risk averse cowards who pander to anyone they want. it's part of politics. that's how it works. and unfortunately too many, some of them on the republican side just as well do that. katie: you can catch david and more of his thoughts on fox nation's reality check. we appreciate you spending your morning wit us. thank you. >> any time i got my fruit

great op-ed piece "the washington post" by marc thiessen here at forks. aoc economic literacy not only bad for jobs but bad for the country as well. she doesn't understand that you didn't save new york city billion dollars. you cost the city $27 billion. when it comes to tax revenue and by the way there is 2.5 billion-dollar short fall in the state. what about 40,000 jobs in those folks and the local economy, people who are building restaurants as you mentioned, griff, expecting amazon to come here what are they going to do here? lost investments. people who can't find jobs and very sad. todd: what's so fascinating about in this amazon situation made new york governor andrew cuomo basically a republican for the last three weeks and made de blasio a republican for a week until he backtrack and said oh now it's amazon's faulted they didn't want to talk to us. >> took the ball away didn't want to play. even though he negotiated the deal de blasio. now governor cuomo blasting the progressives what are you doing? i can actually negotiate better with republicans and

griff: 10-year-old gibson died on wednesday one day after being diagnosed with both strep throat and the flu. so should we still be worried about the flu season? here now is fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier. wow, sad, terrible story. we are still in the throws of it. how worried should would he be? what happened here? >> griff, great seeing you this morning. thanks for having me. it's flu season and flu season comes once a year. even though people are saying this is a more mild season, that's all relative it just means that maybe it's less than it was last year. it doesn't mean it's a great season. as you mentioned this young child recently died from the flu. but we have now 41 children who are died just this season alone from the flu and what we are seeing we are switching now from the strain h1n1 and going to h 3 n 2 which tends to be more severe. that's where we see more deaths associated. so, right now it's not toolt to prevent the flu. whether you have a child, anyone over six months of age should still be getting the flu shot adults, too.

especially you are not necessarily doing it to keep yourself safe, you are doing it to keep those around you safe. >> shot or flu mist in your noses. you mentioned the staff. look at the 2018 to 2019. 21 child deaths. 30 states reported high flew activities. i didn't get a flu shot. should i run out and get one? >> yes, absolutely. not too late. by getting your flu shot you are protecting those around you. listen, most people recover from the flu. children, adults, you get the flu, you have a pretty bad illness three to five days and most people recover. there are cases where it gets more severe and it can result in death. you had over 80,000 people die from the flu last year alone. 185 children. so, this is serious. so, when al the sudden you see -- when you see a child or someone who has the flu, it is a good idea to go to the doctor because we have antiviral medication that can lessen the severity.

griff: just because parents watching this very worried if they have a sick child right now and sad case of gibson she got the flu, strep, woke up and had cardiac arrest and died. what should parents be doing right now if they have a sick child at home? >> listen, if you have a sick child at home, if they are children they should see the doctor. you want a doctor to evaluate them. for anybody being sick if they're not having fluids. they are so irritable that you just can't calm them. if they start turning a different color or have -- they are not acting normal. go see the doctor because they can turn into something severe. a heart attack, cardiac arrest is a very rare complication but not unheard of and as we have seen people are dying. griff: dr. saphier thanks for coming. in i will go and get my flu shot. >> i want to be there. griff: i will let you give it to me. you should get it as well. thank you for being here, dr. saphier. the showdown over president trump's national emergency highlighting up as democrats --g up as democrats try to block it. an update on the battle.

griff: take care of my peeps. the egg caper has been solved. katie: we can move on now. griff: haven't solved the issues we will be talking about all morning long. the president declaring a national emergency and the democrats saying well, we are going to vote a resolution against that. katie: democrats from the beginning have opposed the president on this. he knew that it was coming. nancy pelosi a house speaker. >> on monday we will send to the rules committee a resolution of disapproval of the president's action. we say that not in any partisan way, we do not say it in any political way. we say it in a patriotic way. steve: notice there she is in larr raid dough, texas, on the u.s. mexico border one of the areas where they are seeing very, very heavy numbers particularly of family units you coming

across the border. the president trying to do something about the border on the border. katie: also one of the areas close to where the president is going to be building that 55 miles of new border barrier that was in the funding legislation that he signed in addition to signing this national emergency. declaring the national emergency. todd: if you look at that statement, two key things to take out from nancy pelosi's statement. we say that not in a partisan or in a political way. but if you look at the vote to bring up the vote on tuesday it's partisan and political. katie: donald trump the president is saying he is going to veto it. >> will i veto it? 100 percent. 100 percent and i don't think it survives a veto. we have too many smart people that wan border security. i can't imagine it survives a veto but i will veto it, yes. griff: the president has on his side for justification the actual numbers near where nancy pelosi is stating you have 478% increase in the el paso sector of total apprehensions of illegal crossings compared to last year. you have 364% increase in

the family units i was just talking about. even closer to where she was standing in laredo in the dell rio sector where we were in eagle pass, texas. if you look at the troops that have been sent, the president is deploying more troops. 5,000 troops already at the border. next week he will send another 1,000 to start going down there. hoping to have a total of 6,000 by march 1 and, you know, i have spent a lot of time on the border obviously. i was there this week. i have yet to meet an official that works on the border that doesn't want that support because of the heavy flow and the resources already that they have. todd: comes down to bill parcel's line if you want me to make the meal you have to buy the groceries this is what the border patrol agents and individuals that you were on the ground with want. it doesn't make sense why there are so many people running counter to what they want when so many of these individuals just 10, 15 years arguing a wanted the same thing. katie: caravans that we continually see coming up through central america and

mexico the troops are there to try to act as a deterrent for that even though they are not doing any kind of arrest or detainment of illegal immigrants or people claiming asylum. but, also, the administration has been focused on fighting the cartels. fighting the drugs. and let me tell you, the cartels do not like it that there are u.s. troops on the border serving as a bolster to border patrol because they then can be in more areas on the border to make sure that those drugs aren't coming across. griff: of course. and you hear about whether the drugs are coming through the ports of entry or softer points in between the points of entry. the fact is all the officials say that the wall is a deterrent to slow down whether it's humans or narcotics. and it is amazing to me to continue to hear democrat 2020 hopefuls say that they are in favor of tearing down existing walls. we have yet another one. this is congressman julian castro who says it makes sense to him. listen. >> we have 654 miles of fencing already out of

1994 miles of the border. so would it surprise me if there are places where it makes sense to take some of that down? no. katie: no. it wouldn't surprise me. griff: talk to the officials. it's the same message that they are offering every lawmaker be it republican, democrat or independent. that is we need three things. we need manpower. we need technology and we need infrastructure. infrastructure is a wall. that combination is what allows them to do their job in this case taking down existing wall, let alone not giving additional is one that is not met with welcome ears by border patrol officials. katie: julian castro not the only one kristin jill grand take down barriers. tear them all down they don't serve any purposes as you see the facts show the opposite when it comes to where these barriers have been implemented california, new mexico or texas. todd: to your point that shows this generalized move

to the left. speaking of which, this is an interesting poll that just came out. and i think a lot of people based upon what we talk about all the time expect the opposite. new poll finds conservatives gaining on liberals. what we mean is the number of states where liberals outnumber conservatives has dropped. used to be nine. now it's just six states. put up the map so you can see the states we are talking about where, still, liberals outnumber conservatives. those states include massachusetts, hawaii, vermont, washington state, new york and new hampshire. but what's curious about this, guys. griff: loothere it is. todd: look at the liberal bags not on this list. california, my state of connecticut. new jersey, what does this tell you guys? katie: it's interesting because if you look at the numbers the gap has actually closed galapagos says the gap u1

points. nationals outnumber the left by 9% on a national level you see these things changes moving to arizona, colorado, even texas also the northeast a lot of people deciding to move down south to california becoming more of a purple state and always a big player in general elections. there is political migration but as we have seen a lot of these programs that have been implemented through obamacare, et cetera, have turned the country a little bit more to the left. todd: what those countries tell me strictly based upon my experience in my state. connecticut is a mostly democrat state. most of my friends in connecticut are democrat. they are not this hard left liberal. they watch us. and they believe a lot of president trump's policies. they believe in a lot of what he is doing. nevertheless, they have a tendency to be democrat. and i think those numbers are showing up there. that's not a map of democrat vs. republican it's liberal vs. conservatives. griff: look at the big

picture here from ideological standpoint, right? state by state. red obviously is conservative. blue is liberal. the light red is more conservative than average. gray, by the way, is sort of that middle ground and you can sort of figure it out from fall on the spectrum. as we look at the big picture map, it will be interesting to find out get into another presidential political season whether or not you are looking at heavily red states driven by issues on where people stand in the ideological spectrum when it comes to issues like immigration and capitalism vs. socialism. katie: well, bill maher firmly planted in the dark blue state of california had something to say about red states vs. blue ones. >> the blue parts of america are having a big prosperity party while that big sea of red feels like their invitation got lost in the mail. the flyover states have become the passed over states. that's why red state voters

are so pissed off. they don't hate us. they want to be us. they want to go to the party. katie: isn't that exactly what president trump was successful at doing is going in to those passed over places that have been left behind that have been devastated by policy from washington, d.c. about coal plants and environmental policies that have eliminated entire industries. he went in there and did what hillary clinton didn't do and said we actually care about you. and we want to make sure that your industries are back. because they haven't been gone as a result of your actions. they were forced out of your communities as a result of big government coming from washington. griff: i think bill maher is actually on to something there. there is a message being sent. not that these states are upset they didn't get invite to the party. it's that they are finally winning the argument, the battle after having an elitist group, smaller group of people telling them what to do.

katie: rest of the country is paying for pet projects a billion dollars worth of trains went defunct. federal taxpayer money coming from other places that are going to the dark blue states that want do all these pet new projects. it's not that they're not getting an invitation to the party. their money is being usinged in these places and wasted a lot of the time. todd: let us know what you think friends@foxnews.com. we talk to people in diners and the folks i see in the red states seem pretty happy. katie: seem like good life going on and good pancakes, too. turning now to your headlines, embattled music star r. kelly is expected in court today on sexual abuse charges. his mugshot release this morning after singer turned himself into police overnight in chicago. criminal accusations against kelly go back more than two decades. the indictment coming just weeks after a lifetime docu series detailing several allegations against him. kelly has denied the claims president trump's administration wants to ban tax funded family planning clinics from promoting and performing abortions.

the move would potentially block centers like planned parenthood from receiving millions of dollars in federal funding. it would also bar abortion providers and family planning clinics from sharing the same location. the policy is expected to be challenged in the courts. and an army sergeant is reunited with a loving dog he met on the streets of iraq. look. >> oh, hi. you are home. you are home. >> sergeant kevin solaris bonded with the pup named josie third tour overseas. he now lives with he and his family in austin, texas. those are your headlines. international pup. griff: that's great. when i was in iraq there was a dog named bullet that the marine reserve unit brought back. a very special connection you make in some of the harshest places. todd: from super bowl champ to legal hot water. the owner of the new england patriots caught in a prostitution sting. the discipline he may face coming up.

♪ griff: the father of the alabama woman who joined isis is suing the trump administration to allow her to come back to the united states. hoda muthana's family argues she is an american citizen.

katie: this comes after the trump administration made clear they don't consider her a citizen and she is not allowed back into the country. what's happening next? here to react former staff director to the senate foreign relations committee lester munson. thank you for being here. >> good morning. katie: main issue is the controversy over whether she is a citizen. her attorneys who are working on behalf of cair argue that she is. what's your take? >> well, it appears that it's possible even the obama administration didn't think she is a citizen. it does seem to be based on published reports that there is a lot of doubt about the status of her father when she was born the basis of her citizenship claim is that her father was in the united states he may have had diplomatic immunity at that time which means her birth does not confer u.s. citizenship. it's very complicated. there is a lot of doubt about whether she is a u.s. citizen. i think the fact that the administration is taking a tough stand means they have pretty good reason to believe she is not in fact a u.s. citizen.

griff: lester little doubt about what she was saying when she was an isis bride taking up blood shed. here is what hoda had to say on abc about the punishment she believes would be appropriate. listen. >> do you think you deserve a punishment for what you did? >> maybe there would be lessons. maybe a process that will ensure that's we will never do this again. jail time, i don't know if that has an effect on people. i need help mentally as well. i don't have the ideology anymore but i just traumatized from my experience. griff: lester, your reaction? >> she spent a lot time in syria according to these reports, several years. that's a long time. the longer and generally speaking, studies have shown the longer people spend with these terrorist jihadist groups the more likely they are to be totally dedicated to the theology or the ideology involved. so i think we need to take everything she says with a grain of salt. this is a dangerous person.

the issue of returning foreign fighters from isis is something that effects the united states and all other western countries. this is a very serious issue. she is potentially a threat to the united states. and so her views of how she should be punished, i think, should not be taken very seriously. we do need to take this as a real threat and real possible threat. katie: when she arrived in syria she had a bonfire party and also encouraged other americans to burn their passports now she wants to use one to get back to the united states. i want to bring up this lawsuit that was filed by her father on her behalf. and in it they say that the united states has an obligation to take her back and to use her to teach other people how not to be extremists. what is your response to that? >> well, i don't think that's true. you know, your heart bleeds for a father who is in this situation, i think. as a father myself, i would do anything to defend my children. i don't judge him.

we should be judging her. she is an adult. she has made decisions about her life. she should suffer the consequences for those decisions. i do believe in redemption and so once she has paid her debt to society and the legal issues surrounding her possible citizenship are resolved, then we could face this question. but that's a long way away. griff: long way away indeed. all right, lester, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. katie: get this. the media actually claims president trump didn't want police to stop an attack on democrats. >> these are his people. all right? and he is not going to thank law enforcement because is he probably not happy about what law enforcement did. that's where we are. i call the space where we are where we are. i'm not going to try to dress it up. >> former chairman of the rnc. has trump derangement syndrome reached a new level. >> movie producer. todd visits tim tebow at

verbally is met with violence. that's not america. katie: right. they take speech as a hate crime against them and they see speech as violence against them. and then they act out with physical violence in response. a number of people who go on college campuses now who used to be able to speak on campus without any type of security now have to have a full security team as a result of these kinds of things happening. and until the police press charges it's not going to change. griff: unbelievable. email us and tell us what you think what's happening on college campuses. katie: turning now to headlines. florida mayor charged with shooting a deputy resigns this after a judge ruled he will remain in jail without bond. claiming is he unfit to serve. accused the a shooting at port richie authorities served with search warrant. attempted murder and practicing medicine without a license. taking shot at president trump. former rnc chairman michael steele claiming the president is probably not happy self-proclaimed white

katie: a series of legal cases capturing the nation's attention. griff: patriots owner robert kraft, jussie smollett and r. kelly all finding themselves in trouble with the law. todd: here with analysis is emily compagno. always good to see you. you did a great job on "the five" yesterday. i was watching you as all this stuff came to a head. it was a wild day yesterday. >> it was crazy day. culminated in a crazy week, i think. right? there is long-term implications for a lot of these people. todd: start off with robert kraft. this one took a lot of people by surprise. two questions for you. one, the legal and what happens with the nfl? >> right. okay. so the legal really the most he could face is 60 days in jail. it's a misdemeanor. it's not that big of a deal. i do want to paint the larger portrait for viewers the human trafficking element to this is so much larger than small portion state of florida last year they did a similar investigation they arrested 277 people. over that same spectrum of soliciting prosecution up human trafficking element.

that's a much larger international story. note that owners in the nfl are subject to the same personal conduct policy that players are and just like a couple years ago when the colts owner for a dui he was suspended six games and fined $500,000. look for that to be a much more severe penalty than he is likely facing judicially. katie: i'm glad you brought up the human angle of the story. keeps being painted as prostitution story. this is womennenning forced against their will to engage in these type of behaviors as men allegedly paid for them. that's a very clear distinction that needs to be made. >> the doj just also in the last month charged five mexican nationals with participation in a similar human trafficking, sex trafficking scheme, sentenced them to 25 years in prison each. as well there is a federal emphasis on this that yes it's so much larger than prostitution. griff: r. kelly turned himself in last night facing serious charges. >> he is. same county almost 10 years

ago he went through a similar trial on child pornography charges there too was a sex tape he was acquitted. here he is facing 30 to 70 years total. 3 to 7 years for 10 of the criminal abuse charges that he faces and these were allegedly with minors. it's a really big deal there for him. katie: back to illinois. the latest on jussie smollett. he is facing legal problems. his attorneys are now turning his back on the police. what's the latest happening with that case? >> yeah. i will say so that strategy is interesting to me because it is clear that the city of chicago has taken this personally with a judge using words like this is despicable. we obviously heard the superintendent's speech as well. this was so serious for them. and so i am not sure why his attorneys are not taking a more undercover strategy of working out behind the scenes at this point. they are still steadfastly sticking to their story that he is 100 percent innocent and now allegations of a potential drug abuse problem as well. todd: as all lawyers must, you must defend your client vigorously.

that said, you don't want to poke the bear in this instance. this is not a very sympathetic position the way the current facts are stated right now with regard to smollett. and for his attorneys to come out guns blazing like they did. i 100 percent agree with you. i don't know if that's the proper tact. >> yes, two points. number one the roll of the defense attorney is not always to maintain your client's innocence. also to make sure that the charges are commensurate with the behavior, right? to make sure that the government is held in check with the charges and with the penalty and number two, i will point out just for the letter, obviously the fbi is still investigating that. but i want to reiterate as well that it does not matter whether you can execute an actually deploy on a threatening letter and terroristic threats. we take it seriously just like you can't make a joke at the tsa line. similar thing. severe consequences for that so much more so than filing the false police report. katie: we appreciate you addressing all the big issues of the week there was a lot. thank you so much, emily. we appreciate it. griff: thank you. have a great saturday. hillary clinton huddling

resolution to stop the president 's declaration here is just a little bit i want to give you the setup. speaker pelosi down on the border talking as well as the president's threat. listen. >> on monday we will send the resolution of disapproval of the president's actions. we say that not in a partisan way. we don't say it in any political way. we say it in a patriotic way. president trump: 100%. 100% and i don't think it's survives a veto. we have too many smart people that want border security so i can't imagine if it survives a veto but i will veto it, yes. geraldo: the president vows to veto it so that's it. we will have an emergency declaration where we will see the fruition of the declaration. we already had so much in the pipeline already. under the march of 2017 or 2018,

national security act, we already had 84 miles of border fence going under construction in the mcallen, texas area. this national declaration of emergency gets another 55 miles. there's other defense department money. there will be wall fence barrier construction for many years to come. i just wish everybody would just declare victory and move on. nancy pelosi is not going to be successful. the president will override the veto. i think the president i think his prediction is very accurately and there will be this lawsuit in the ninth circuit and he will lose and get to the supreme court of the united states and the supreme court as it did in the travel declaration, because he has such latitude when it comes to immigration, will say and i predict on a 5-4 basis he will say the president was within his constitutional power. >> katie: so geraldo president george w. bush pushed for

barriers on the border, president barack obama sent national guard troops to the border the president seems to be doing both of those things how is what he's doing much different than previous presidents? geraldo: it's not, katie but what i don't like is the nature of it. it doesn't seem orderly in the sense. it seems like ad hoc, oh, i can do it here, i can do it with this money and that money. the job needs to be done i think ultimately it will get done but you're absolutely right. barack obama was known as the deporter in chief. he was pro-immigration forces, extremely critical of the 44th president for his harsh crack down on the border. george w. bush was, he did preside over a time of more spirit in the congress, where they did pass the fence act and i think they have to get back at that and get off this kick that the border fence is a moral issue. it's not a moral issue. it's a logistical issue. it's an issue of physical

security. you've got to stop this kind of, people need to be able to predict what's going to happen on that border and i think it's fair to say there will be fencing and a barrier and there will be a wall of sorts but we're going to have this debate, i fear, all through the 2020 campaign and all through the next president. griff: we've been talking about the wall for a while. something that really just came up in the last 24 hours this bombshell, new england patriots owner robert kraft could face discipline in the nfl amid solicitation of prostitution accusations in florida facing two charges there. obviously we need to let the court system play this out. we need to know if he's ultimately going to be found guilty. he's denied it but there's two prongs here. there's the court system, the judicial system and there's the nfl. how does this all turn out? geraldo: first of all, he is a guy that is worth $6 billion and

basically he gets caught having a massage with a happy ending in an oriental massage place, for $ 80. his whole life turns on something so stupid. what he didn't know of course was that there was this federal probe of sex trafficking. they had been surveiling these oriental massage joints, ten of them, and they were keeping women in sexual slavery against their will. you know, so it becomes, there are some very serious felonies going on there allegedly and whether he knew what was going on i doubt, but he is going to get in a jam and to your point going to get fined or suspended. >> katie: an arrest warrant will be issued next week. griff: in a different case, bombshell as well, r. kelly facing 10 counts of criminal sexual conduct far more serious. geraldo: well r. kelly has been facing misconduct charges for as long as i've known his name.

he married aleah, remember her she died in that plane crash in the bahamas she was 15 and he's had this thing for young girls for a long time. he just got nailed by the bbc documentary surviving r. kelly that laid out, you know, in very graphic terms, what he had done with these young girls. now, you know, illinois in 2017 abolished the statute of limitations on these sex crimes. he was acquitted about 10 years ago on a similar charge and child pornography charges. he was acquitted but he can be tried for so many other cases and it seems to me they've charged them 10 counts now but there's four victims as far as i know, and you know, he's such a great talent. the biggest seller ever hip hop, collaborated with jay-z, michael jackson, lady gaga, the guy has enormous talent but this creepy thing about young girls. >> katie: maybe that's why he

hadn't been held accountable because he had such a high name id, but chicago has been busy when it comes to the criminals. boys behaving badly, there have been new details in the jussie smollett case he now claims he has an untreated drug problem, after he's been cut from empire 's last episode of the season. do you think he's going to be able to use this new claim as justification for why he allegedly did this? geraldo: he could use any claim he wants but he's in real trouble and his biggest trouble he hasn't heard yet that's coming from the federal government when they get him on mail fraud for engineering that ridiculous threat letter with aspirin or whatever white powder in it, and mailing it to paying with a check. i mean, he's a narcississtic, selfish, manipulative, i feel, no pity for him whatsoever, for him to invoke neuces in the civil rights era. he is in my view every real

victim of every, you know, racist attack in our melancholy history and to try to ride that wave and take advantage of that to get a raise, i thought eddie johnson the chicago police superintendent should be an anchorman. he was so terrific, so articulate. he nailed him, and he expressed what everybody should, the absolute disgust that somebody, particularly a black man would invoke the imagery of a neuce to get some kind of financial gain. griff: because let's face it there is going to be as unfortunate as it is to say this there is going to be a hate crime at some point in the future a real one, and this just hurt that victim's approach to it and if that victim is going to feel comfortable going forward that is the real tragedy in all this. geraldo: such a manipulated crime. it's like he was so naive, he had no idea what it really takes to fool them. he had no idea. it's all falling apart, text

in her office recently. todd: think about what you just said dianne feinstein got in a heated exchange with a group of kids. it's amazing. oh, you were setting it up. i apologize. >> katie: they came to her office with a group called the sunrise movement and demanding she get on board with the green new deal. listen to what she had to say to them. >> we're trying to promote the green new deal. >> well there are reasons why i can't because there's no way to pay for it. you just can't go in and say okay we're going to take hundreds of millions from here and hundreds of millions from there. it doesn't, it just doesn't work that way. >> stein tests said that we have 12 years to turn this around. >> well it's not going to get turned around in 10 years. >> seattle if this doesn't get turned around in 10 years you're looking at the faces of the people who are going to be living with you. >> you come in here, and you say it has to be my way or the highway. i don't respond to that. i was elected by almost

1 million votes, and i know what i'm doing, so, you know, maybe people should listen a little bit. >> katie: i distinctly remember al gore saying we're all going to be under water right now after he came out with his documentary about global warming and none of what he predicted has happened so when they argue that we have to solve this within the next 12 years, scientists say, that's a talking point that we've seen from the left and it's important to step back and see where the green new deal came from they've been pushing these kinds of policies for decades but its now been put into legislation as a result of alexandria ocasio-cortez working with a senator on the senate side of capitol hill and putting it in legislation, and when they rolled this thing out, it's getting rid of car, getting rid of airplanes, getting rid of meat eating, all kinds of things , that people just aren't going to do, so now they're saying if you're against it you're against the environment you don't take climate change

seriously which i think dianne feinstein was trying to make that point she does. griff: she's trying to speak honestly to these children but yet you have more voices in this debate like brian fallon, who was a former clinton campaign spokesman saying this, saying the kids in the video rightfully don't give anything about 60 vote thresholds in the senate. they just want to confront climate change. if you're running for president you better see the world through the kid's eyes. todd: in response, dianne feinstein tweets, i want the children from the sunrise movement, those are the ones that were there to know they were heard loud and clear. i have been and remain committed to doing everything i can to enact real meaningful climate change legislation and this is leading so many people on the right to sort of be like i kind of feel bad for dianne feinstein like a bench of heros that i love you you're like my new favorite person. it's important to remember the left has a tendency to say if you don't agree with their

position then you are a fill in the blank. if you don't agree with affirmative action you're clearly racist. it's not that binary. this is another example that the left loves to put out there because it makes people feel bad >> katie: we always hear about these interest groups and lobbying groups going to capitol hill and, you know, meeting with lawmakers to try and push their agenda. the sunshine movement is a special interest group building an army of young people to make climate change and urgent priority across america so when it comes to actual legislation, and changing the entire economy to go around the green new deal, people like dianne feinstein and people who have to late do look at the cost of these things and what it means and whether it can be implemented. griff: while you're weighing in, senator feinstein handled "the situation" very well and i am no fan of hers. katie: we watch it create citizens that know why they believe a particular way not

just regurgitating what they were told. todd: e-mail from jim. tell these kids and their parent s to lead by example don't ride in planes, don't ride in cars, don't eat beef, see how that goes. you raise a great point kids love burgers. >> katie: allegedly. todd: a plurality of them. >> katie: of people and children love them. now hillary clinton huddling with the biggest democratic presidential candidates so what does it mean for her role in the 2020 race? we'll ask former clinton advisor mark penn up next and a patriotic assist at this basketball game the incredible moments when the crowd took over during the national anthem. >> ♪ oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave, ore the land of the free, and the home of the brave ♪ >>

candidate hillary clinton is huddling with a number of 2020 democratic hopefuls meeting with both amy klobuchar, and possible contender joe biden so what role could hillary play in 2020? here to weigh in is mark penn former clinton advisor and managing partner and author of micro trends square, thanks so much for being here. >> good morning. >> katie: so hillary herself has not ruled out a presidential run but she seems to be offering advice. do these candidates should they be taking advice from someone whose lost two presidential races? >> well, look, hillary is one of the most experienced politicians around, and won a number of senate races as well and learned a lot. i think from these things look those meetings are going to be somewhat awkward because she hasn't declared that she's not definitely running, and in fact, she at the same time is looking over the field and i think will make a decision later in the year, whether or not to run herself, so i think there's nothing unusual here, albeit a bit awkward. >> katie: as a former aid to

clinton, what are the odds that she is going to run for president again? >> well i think it depends upon how the field is shaping up. i think if the party looks too far to the left and there's no front runner she'll get in. i think if joe biden gets in that probably means she won't run if he gets in. if he doesn't get in i think the field will be open for her. >> katie: she mulls a potential run it seems you're indicating depending on who gets into the race what would be her advice to these candidates as they hit the campaign trail against president trump? >> well obviously she had one successful experience winning the nomination, and one unsuccessful experience winning the nomination. i think she always regarded this year as the worst part of the nomination process, going through the finance primary, being picked over by the media before the real campaign begins and intensifies so i think one thing she says is to get through this period as best you can and prepare for the shoot that really occurs, starting in the

summer and this thing really takes off. >> katie: she did say she wanted to be president last fall but she didn't necessarily want to run for president again. i want to ask you about robert mueller special counsel and the fact that the report that we've been waiting for for a very long time will not be released next week, but how will democrats react to his findings if they're not exactly what they've been saying as a political talking point? >> well i don't like kind of this sentiment brewing that the mueller report is the beginning. the american public has waited almost two years for this report everything was put on hold until it was the biggest investigation of an administration in history since water gate it was probably bigger than watergate, when you look at the number of interviews and stones unturned. i think the american public is going to say hey this is it. enough is enough. it's over. i think democratic attempts to use this to start launching new investigations are likely to be misguided. my experience in 98 was that when it's over, people closed the book. until then, they're open minded

let's see the evidence. >> katie: mark penn thank you so much for your perspective we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> katie: corey lewandowski joins us straight ahead and a college student stealing the show during a michael buble concert at madison square garden and now she's here, getting ready to perform live in our studio, just ahead. ♪ (alarm goes off) wake up sweetie. ♪ doctor dave. ♪ here's your order. applebee's to go. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. with my bladder leakage, the products i've tried just didn't fit right. they were too loose. it's getting in the way of our camping trips. but with a range of sizes, depend® fit-flex is made for me. with a range of sizes for all body types,

fumbles as the article says and the use utensils so she's getting on a plane, hungry and doesn't have a fork to eat that salad with and the great first-line of this article, senator amy klobuchar was hungry , forkless, and losing patience and in fact she pulled a come from her bag and began eating the salad with it according to four people familiar with the episode she handed the come to her staff member with the directive "clean it" so an odd story i'm not sure it's worthy of the cover story, but it certainly -- todd: there is my contribution to the segment, i'm done. i'm out. >> katie: i don't think the eating salad with a come is great but she was being resourceful in a moment when her staffer failed, and she asked them to clean it up after he failed to give her the utensils so i don't blame her for it being a tough boss in washington is the name of the game that's how you succeed it's a tough town to be in and a place you go to work hard and as she admits she can be too tough sometimes

but the come thing, it seems to be true considering there are four different sources who verified it but it seems like a pretty petty thing to attack her about. todd: moving from beyond the come for a second you guys are both d.c. knowledgeable. what's going on behind the scene s? why is this coming out when it's not coming out with regards to other bosses male and female, who let's face it, d.c., there are 535 congress people, there are 535 type a personalities who are aggressive, why is this coming out? >> katie: i do think she may be the only person who ate her salad with a come. todd: that is a valid point. >> katie: but the larger picture is she is part of a primary of 25-plus people making more than that and these stories are going to come out because people are going to try and get people out of the race and to knock down their credibility, or give them notches on things that they can, because there's so many people defining candidates gets very difficult so while they try to stand out there's also things people who don't

want them to be elected have to expose including eating salad with a come. testify so this isn't the last one we'll hear corey booker. >> katie: oh, yeah we'll see some of that. griff: your question is a good one because whether or not you're a candidate that supports socialism that you if elected would take us to that sort of policy versus eating a salad with a come i'm not sure the priorities of the journalist were digging in the right area. >> katie: if i were a republican strategist i would say well we're not going to be eating any salad with any kind of utensil whether it's a come or a fork under socialism. todd: good point. can i have my come back? >> katie: okay put it back in your pocket. todd: you eat a salad? >> katie: turning to your headlines a judge throws out criminal charges against a co- owner of a missouri water park where a 10-year-old boy died. he was beheaded after going down the world's tallest waller slide in 2016. the judge ruling that the state tosses attorney general tainted

they never came to the campaign and said the russians were trying to hack into the election where is the accountability for them and where is the accountability for hillary clinton? griff: corey let me ask you this there are question as to how much of this report will be made public once it goes to attorney general barr. are you for making the entire thing public and have full transparencies here? >> absolutely look i think the american people have seen a $40 million witch hunt against this president. they have a right to see where their money has been spent and if this report is honest, it is going to say one thing and it's going to be very clear. the trump campaign didn't collude with anybody but the clinton campaign paid $5 million , to go put the false dossier and this whole thing, this whole investigation was predicated on liars like comey, and mccabe, and strzok and page and we want the report to be made public so the american people can see that. todd: at the end of the day corey what do you think the new attorney general does? is it going to be full

disclosure, partial with some redactions, what do you see ultimately at the end of the day >> well i have a lot of faith in attorney general barr. i'm glad he's overseeing this final resolution i'm glad that rod rosenstein is leaving the justice department and what i think he's going to do with no inside knowledge whatsoever is he's going to share that with the committees of jurisdiction and he should outline that this should be no additional investigations because attorney general barr is going to be the one person who has the full un redacted version he'll write a summary and present it to congress and he will show through his summary of the work that robert mueller has done, there was no collusion of the trump campaign with any outside entity. >> katie: so corey democrats have been adimate about some republicans about protecting the mueller probe saying he's credible and yet here we are without the report and with the house led by democrats now saying that the mueller report doesn't give them what they want , they're going to launch their own investigation. how should the trump adminitration and the campaign respond to that?

>> well look we know that adam schiff has never seen a camera that he's run from. he's probably the biggest leaker in congress i can tell you that he has his own agenda which is not the agenda of the american people and very candid ly the democrats are going to overreach on this. once the mueller report is handed into the department of justice and that is made public the american people will see what we already know, no collusion, no cooperation, the president is 100% clear but that won't stop adam schiff and that will come back to haunt the democrats in the 2020 election where i predict, donald trump will have a bigger margin in the electoral college than he did in 2016. todd: you heard it here first. we shall see. corey, thank you very much. griff: thanks corey. >> thank you. >> katie: a college student steals the show during a michael buble concert at madison square gardens. >> ♪ ♪ >> [applause]
