was written off. that feels a lot like who won in 2016. right out of the bat bernie has a core of supporters, he's run nationwide already and that gives him a base that the other candidates don't have. >> and the republican nominee in 2016 had a clear and consistent message. >> when you run for president the first time really, you know this, when you interview people, the first time they say something they can ramble, it isn't very clear. they're trying to find their message. first-time candidates do that all of the time. not bernie sanders. you can't argue about the fact that the know what is to say and when to say it and that gives him a leg up on these other people who will be making gaffes. >> you were watching other candidates find their footing. he's clear about what he believes. the third reason, he's already

run a nationwide campaign. >> it's really hard to run a campaign nationwide. you have to set up organizations throughout the country and that's not easy to do. it takes a lot of manpower, takes money. but he's already done it once. and like i said in the early primary state of california, he has a good organization already. so whereas the other candidates, some of which will have to skip the states because they don't have the money. not bernie. >> it's a crowded field of candidates. couldn't that hurt him because there are other people trying to take his socialist message? >> it's an interesting thing. we have to look at it from the opposite point of view here. since early has the early committed voters, 15%, 20% of the electorate, that's enough in a crowd field to win a primary. he could win iowa with 20% whereas a biden or someone else, kamala harris may only get 20%.

all of those other people running take away from joe biden potentially and from harris. i think he wins iowa, wins new hampshire and what are they going to say, bernie, you can't lead? >> last point. you say running for president is different. why? >> it's 100% different. in 2000 you had to have a lot of money and a strong organization. now you have the internet and twitter. bernie has a audience out there. bernie's people are committed. >> we shall see. >> hey's the oarl front runner, i think he wins ohio and new hampshire. >> i agree with you. whe meanwhile, outrage grow.

joe biden who kind of accidentally kind of said that he might be in the race. >> as of right now there are 13. here's the list. she's the latest and greatest. you see them, you know them, you may or may not love them but there they are stepping up saying we're in. this is luck by 13 and there will be more. >> that's interesting because she's had a rough start even before this because he was testing the waters. can't get democrats from her home state on board. is that because people in her own delegation don't want to support her. and number two, remember how she made her name in recent years, it was by taking down one of her own over allegations of either sexual harassment or misconduct. and then in the last week or so this story popped saying that her own office in the senate didn't handle an allegation of sexual harassment well. and it was a big controversy. so if she wants to go attack

some of her fellow democrats, that's not good. >> that doesn't sound brave. >> well it's always what happens after the video. after you launch your campaign and the scrutiny begins do you survive. >> joe biden was at a democrat dinner i believe in maryland. >> delaware. >> dai delaware and he kind of accidentally said that he was running. take a look. >> i know i get criticized and told i get criticized by the new left. i'm the most progressive record of any running for the -- anybody who would run. i didn't mean -- [cheers and applause] of anybody who would run. >> another little piece of it. he said running for the united states -- it sounded like he was

about to say senate because he ran so many times. >> yeah it did. >> so also reminding people howfng he's beehowlong he's bee. >> i think what he's saying is hey, don't fall in love with beto yesterday. yet. i'm still coming. >> i'm told i get criticized by the new left which is the new center of the democrat uic part. >> these activists. biden may be saying, i really want to get in here. >> you can't look them in the eye, the young folks saying i'm the most progressive guy in the race. they will look at your record. >> they don't think chelsea clinton is progressive enough. >> were you for medicare for all? no, you taught obama was a big f'g deal. he's not pure enough and not good enough. that's why he's waiting and hesitating to see if there's a

coconstituency for him. >> he's going to be accosted. he's going to have the video that goes viral where they're in his face asking him something and he's got to ask himself, do i want to do this. >> he can make a strong case that he was riding spot gun with barack obama, the nation's first black president and there by his side and was not an accidental vice president. he was in the room pushing on obamacare, pushing on all kiengdz of issuekindsof issues . beto o'rourke has been struggling a little bit. nancy pelosi had the struggle a couple of days ago. what are his accomplishments. he's coming out of the gate apologizing for things in the past and calling for a ban on the ar-15. watch. >> we allow people in this country to buy weapons that were designed, engineered and told so

the united states military for the expressed purpose of killing people effectively as possible in as great a number as possible. if you own an a ar-15. keep it. use it responsibly. >> such easy look rhetoric of the left. if i own an ar-15, stocks in gun companies will go up after this, responsible gun owners recognize their right to own rifles like that. you can use weapons of war or assault ban all you want. this will appeal to his base, young people who are uninformed. go out and get your second ar-15 today. maybe a good reason to do so. >> seeing him step out, he just doesn't seem as presidential as i expected him to seem. >> that's a good point. >> we saw that when donald trump had, you know, 16 other candidates, there were some great governors who just once

they got on to the plat tomorrow didn't quite seem presidential. i think that beto is suffering from that a little bit. >> let's give you a chance to weigh in, friends@foxnews.com, now that gillibrand is in, o'rourke is in. i in the meantime it seems like robert mueller finally may be coming closer and closer to an end here because some folks on the staff are starting to leave. he's wrapping up things with manafort. you see politico there, the head line, mueller's busy week offers through hope that the report is coming soon. the president is not so sure. he wrote, i told leadership to let all republicans vote for transparency, makes us all look good. does it matter. play along with the. game. is he trying to spin the fact that the republicans knew they were under fire and had to vote

for. >> the democrats remain obsessed with the mueller investigation so they're voting on protecting it yet again. it will come out. someone will leak it if they don't want to release it anyway. but this new detail came out yesterday, one of the most important stories of the day. former so-called bri british spy christopher steele, there are reports that he relied -- he said he used cnn reports as part of his anti-trump do dossier. he actually used something called cnn-i report which is where citizen journalists or regular folks like you or anyone else can post to the website things that they think. christopher steele used -- if you e-mailed us a at friends@foxnews.com we could use that as a fox fleu fox news rep.

cnn-i report are people posting things on the internet. >> it's not verified. >> to realize that the dossier was used for the fisa in order to spy on americans. >> if i was putting together a dossier using fox friends, i would ask you to e-mail me at friends@foxnews.com, put anytime a dossier and call it fox news. e-mail us and it's fox news. some random person reports on cnn-i and that was used to spy on the president of the united states and they took it seriously. >> it's a scandal. >> which is whoam point was to surreal on then candidate and then eventually the president of the united states. they used i-report at cnn. >> cnn, will they talk about it? >> probably not. >> probably not. you know what i'm tal going that talk about? i'm going to talk about headlines. >> i'll calm down. police are searching for these two suspects accused of

killing a u.s. service member during a gas store robbery. the victim was a customer at the store. the service member has not been identified. investigators are offering a 10,000 dollars reward for that information if it leads to an arrest. a resurgence of violence in paris as yellow vest protests erupt for an eighth straight weekend. activists setting fires and vandalizing restaurants. a mother and child saved just in time from a burning bank that injured 11 people. police unleashing tear gas to contain the for than 10,000 protesters. more than 60 people were hurt, including 17 officers. progolfers tiger roads and kevin na share a funny moment. na quickly grabs his ball after making a short putt and tiger has some fun with it. take a look.

[laughter] >> that's the modern tiger. >> tiger would have never done that before. hhe's lightened up. >> the two are sharing a laugh. woods is 3 under par well behind the leader into today's final round. law enforcement standing behind president trump as a shaf thanks him for vetoing the block. the shaf joins u shaf joins us g us why congress needs to acknowledge the crisis at the border. >> you've give us back our footing but you've also given the american people back what they deserve. >> he literally grabbed it out of the hole. gut health confidenc e every day. benefiber is a

. defend the safety and security of all americans, i will be signing and issuing a formal veto of this reckless resolution and that's what it was. congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and i have the duty to veto it. >> now despite that presidential veto, nancy and the democrats are not giving up their fight to block this emergency declaration. >> massachusetts sheriff thomass present when president trump signed the veto. what was it like to be there the inside of the oval office for that moment, his first veto. >> i was an honor to be there. more importantly, i've been working on immigration reform for 21 years dealing with congress since i've withi been e sheriff. it was a great moment for me,

finally we have somebody after 21 years who sat down, listened to us and took action. the president is committed to protecting the people of this country unlike the people in congress who we've been asking for 21 years to give us the border security that we need. now we're at a point where we have a crisis in regards to guns and gangs coming into our communities intimidating people. >> what is this president willing to do that those before him, even though they promised to address the border security crisis, never did? >> first and foremost to understand the problem. me's a problem solver and thank god for that. he has strong leadership and commitment to deal with the problem, not the politics. the others in congress over these 21 years have completely turned a deaf ear and blind eye to law enforcement and experts, the sheriffs on the border, american sheriffs across the country and i.c.e. and our other

federal partners on the border patrol. he's doing what needs to be done for the people and doesn't care about the politics. >> i spoke to some members of congress who say they support what the president wants to do on the border but said they voted the way they voted because they did it on principle. constitutional issues and concerned about what the democrats might do if this precedent is set. what whowld you say to those members of congress who say i'm just being principled here? >> i can't think of anything more principled than following through on your oath to protect the people. this is a crisis now. we've seen it, talked about it, we have boots on the ground. we know what's going op. they need to do it. we've heard excuses for 2 is years, whether it's principle or some other excuse. people are dying in our communities. kids are not waking up in the morning when parents are going into their bedrooms. i have a mother who said that

she encourages her son to come to her house and shoot up in front of her because she doesn't want him to die. he's all she has. this is going on all over the country. that's one story. we have a double overdose that happened in our county where the mother and father were on the floor overdosing and the 3-year-old was rubbing the mother trying to wake her up and the 5-year-old toddler was trying to wake his father up. this is going on across our country. >> sounds like a an emergency to me. >> no question about it. thank god the president is taking action. >> thank you for your time and your service to our country. we appreciate it. fox news alert, next kirsten gillibrand officially announcing her 2020 presidential bid. our next guest talked to her about her cam pin. former economic adviser to president obama robert wolfe gives us an inside look at the gillibrand and other democratic hopefuls straight ahead.

that's when i met you. let's go through each of these, gillibrand officially getting in. we raised some of the downsides for her on the sexual harassment. what are the good things. >> she was really at the front of the me too movement. she's helped women run for office over the last few years. i think she's going to do really well in a place like new hampshire. you know, she has checked off the boxes of the progressive things like climate change and gun reform and immigration needs. but also, you know, she's from a rural area in upstate new york. i think she -- i may be mistaken but she got more votes than any new york candidate has, you know, since i can recall. she could play, i think, both the progressive side as well as the moderate. >> she's disbeght int getting ie

where beto o'rourke is getting a lot of people swooning. let's look at that media montage and react. >> he is in, beto o'rourke's announcement that he's entering the 2020 race will shake up the democratic primary. >> bring up energy and excite people. >> a glowing start. >> his senate candidacy winning the endorsement of celebrities like by onsay. >> it's like a jesus christ superstar. he's got a celebrity aura about him. >> jesus christ superstar. >> i should say nothing. i spoke to beto on thursday. we had a great call. >> what was the substance of that? what was he saying? >> it's a get to know you call. this is the first time i'm spoken to him. we've had e-mail exchanges. in our party we have not elected a president over the age of 53

since john kennedy. i think there's an incredible amount of electricity around beto. >> is there a gap in experience? >> you know, we have to redefine what experience is. i'm not here to talk about president trump's experience. i mean he has his own brand and people knew him. i think actually making sure he can get the grass roots to come out, being an exciting candidate, you know, in the democratic party, like i said earlier, ed, there are certain boxes you have to be for. four or five boxes. all 13 of the candidates check those boxes and then it comes down to who can run a campaign and who can be the best on the economy and you to be a strong commander in chief. >> someone who might be a strong commander in chief, jnd. a workinjoe biden.the crime bily official with the left,

defensive marriage act, he's flipped on gay marriage, iraq war. my point being he has a record. some on the left are going to assail it. you know vice president biden well. >> i know him well. >> what's your sense, is he waiting too long? does he need to get in? >> i don't think he's waiting too long. when you have name recognition, time is your friend, not your enemy. and this time in 2007 obama was at least 3% or 5%, hillary at 65%. no one is really over 20% today. and name recognition is key. a holding place. >> how does he get the left on board because it might be a different democratic party. >> it's straightforward. the most important thing is going to be who do we think can beat president trump. today most people think that joe biden is the strongest candidate in the general election.

getting through a primary is going to be incredibly difficult for those who are more moderate. i think we're going to have our own debate. i'm struggling with myself who i am going to pick. i'm a big fan of joe biden. i think kamala harris is a great candidate, i just spoke with cory booker. this is our own internal debate. a lot of us have not decided. >> beto o'rourke and others want to have you help them raise some money. we'll see who you decide on and who democrats decide on. todd is taking the polar plunge to raise money for charity. did he really get in the water? it was told. your e-mails are next and pete's conspiracy theory put to the test. parents paving and paying their child's way through life. are american parents failing their kids by doing all of that? we'll discuss it next.

encounter failure or lost opportunities. you got to let the kids figure it out. >> it has so much to do with what we saw in the admissions scandal that erupted. and those were definitely helicopter parents and maybe snow plow parents. the answer to all of this, first of all i tell my kids all of the time, i say my job isn't to get you into harvard, it's to get you into heaven. these parent parents have their priorities really wrong. when you have a lot of kids, you can't coddle them. you just don't have the physical ability to do it. >> you snow plow can't be big enough that's one solution. >> helicopter is dumb, snow flow even dumber. the best thing you can give your kid is failure, tear wrenching on the floor, i doesn't good enough, i failed the test, i

lost the game, what do i do next. that's what your whole life is about, failing and adjusting to failing. when you're successful and artificially so, to your point, it just builds up a sense of self righteousness that you're the center of the universe. stop. e-mail us friends@foxnews.com. you're not a snow plow important, you're a what important. give us an adjective. >> what idea. oohed good idea, headlines. a trooper shot several times and a suspect killed after a carjacking and police chase in illinois. investigators say the trooper was responding to a call near a sam's club when he spotte spotte suspect's vehicle and tried to stop it. the suspect got stuck in a median and started to run firing shots. the trooper returned fire killing the suspect. the 1-year veteran of the force is expected to survive. thank goodness. the prime minister of

this morning breaking news officially getting into the race race. she is kirsten gillibrand, the senator from right there in new york. she's been testing the waters for a while. had a bit of a bumpy ride on the way in. pete: she is choosing brave. here she is with her campaign announcement ad. >> i chose brave too. >> we need a leader who makes big, bold. >> brave. >> choices. >> someone who isn't afraid of progress. that's why i'm running for president. and it's why i'm asking you for your support. our anthem asks the question forcing every generation to make a choice. will brave win? >> will brave win? >> will brave win? >> will brave win? >> let's answer for ours. rachel: will brave win? that's her campaign slogan, i guess, and here are some issues that she supports. she supports medicare for all. she also supports the green new deal, a minimum wage of $15, and she wants to abolish i.c.e. in addition to that, she is pushing for gun control

legislation. ed: interesting because when she started her political career, she came not from new york city but upstate new york, had different positions on guns -- rachel: that's true. great point. ed: -- so she was a more moderate democrat in the clinton mold, broke with the clintons, and we'll get to that in a moment. but also is moving left because of these democratic primaries. pete: so the picture was her and guns on the wall, her and trump, her and kavanaugh. she's basically saying "i'm not trump." but ed to your point it's a really important one. she was a so-called moderate for a long time. was against all the positions she's now for. she is the worst of the worst chameleons. democrats know that, too, by the way. you talk to democrats, they're like kirsten gillibrand is a fold in the mold of spartacus where she will go wherever the trends are going. people won't like that. ed: one reason why bernie sanders continues to get big crowds. pete: he's like i was in the

soviet union during my honeymoon before it was cool, i was with the communists. rachel: you spoke with robert wolf, the former economic adviser to president obama, and he said that gillibrand checks off all the progressive boxes. >> senator gillibrand was really at the forefront of the #metoo movement. she's had this off-the-sidelines pac where she's helped people run for office over the past nth years. should he going to do well in places like new hampshire. she has checked off the boxes in progressive type things like climate change and gun reform and immigration needs but also, you know, she's from a rural area in upstate new york. she can play, i think, both the progressive side as well as the moderate. ed: right. but does that mean she's playing all sides to each people but also he mentioned the #metoo. she was strong on that, quote, unquote, at the beginning, pushing out al franken, for example, over allegations. but then we learn in the last

week or two there are allegations in her own office, not against her, but against a staffer and it wasn't necessarily handled very well. so she's gotten grief from people on the left saying wait a second, clean up your own house before you lecture other peo.le rachel: they're saying that's not brave to criticize other people for sexual harassment and not take care of it in your own office. but look. the democrats are clearly trying to push the woman agenda. she's going to push that topic forward because that's something that she thinks will help her garner the women's vote. there's still a lot of people sort of dissatisfied that hillary clinton couldn't do it for them in the last election, and i think there is a desire not just for a minority but for a woman on the democrat side. pete: email us at friends@foxnews.com, which cabinet position is she running for, because she'll never be president in an administration that's never going to happen in 2020. so a fictitious cabinet position for a fictitious presidential election. ed: another flip-flop, by the way. she launched her career in new york in part with help from bill

and hillary clinton. a year or so later after it was clear hillary was unlikely to run again, she broke with the clintons and said bill clinton should have resigned from office after the monica lewinsky affair affair. well, that angered -- rachel: that was in the midst of the #metoo. ed: so that angered the clinton camp obviously which brings to us chelsea clinton. look, if you want to question her credentials as a progressive you're out of your mind. chelsea clinton checks all the the boxes as robert wolf said last hour in terms of climate change. and yet you had these liberals activists accosting her -- pete: leftist tables. she's a liberal. they're leftist. absolutely. so remember what happened in new zealand, horrific attack, there was a vigil in support of the muslims that were killed there. chelsea shows up, and she is accosted. in fact she's told, she's the reason 49 people are dead. listen. >> after all that you have done. >> i'm so sorry.

it was never my -- i do (unintelligible) -- >> this right here is the result of a massacre. people like you and the words people put out. and i want you to know that and i want you to feel that deep inside. 49 people died because of the rhetoric that you put out there. >> i'm sorry that -- >> what does "i'm sorry you feel that way" mean? what does that mean? rachel: so there's chelsea clinton apologizing after these insufferable social justice warriors confront her, and they say that she owes omar an apology and she owes an apology to the palestinians as well. she said they -- by the way, these women were then later heavily criticized. they took down their account, and then they felt the need to write an op-ed, which they posted on buzzfeed, and here's a quote from their op-ed sort of explaining their behavior and why they attacked chelsea. said many have said it was unfair to connect chelsea's

words to the massacre in christchurch. to them we say that anti-muslim bigotry must be addressed wherever it exists. to chelsea clinton, we hope that our intentions in confronting you are now clear. we believe that you still owe an apology not only to representative omar but also to palestinians for using your platform to defame their cause. pete: hey, democrats, welcome to your 2020 preview. this is exactly what their primary is going to look like. it's why joe biden's still hesitating, i believe. does he want to deal with this? rachel: interest.ng pete: rabid leftists coming out of college campuses who are no indolent by socialist types like comrade cortez who think the old guard -- ed: who? pete: comrade cortez who think the left failed. climate change didn't get done, our military is too big, our welfare state is still too small our border, too many agents on the border, all of those things are purity tests for the left, tear down the wall or not.

you will see these confrontations for anyone who's not totally pure on the left. just wait. it's com.ng rachel: it's a great point. and i do think you're right, that that may be why biden is a little bit -- ed: a little bit on the sidelines. you've been weighing in certainly fired up about this. we got an email from susan. " "chelsea stood up like a lady while being accosted." >>"i don't care for chelsea clinton even though i really don't know her but i really defend her right to speak her mind." >>good point. pete: a great po.nt rachel: by the way, chelsea is heavily pregnant, and what chelsea was chris were some very clearly anti-semitic remarks on the part of representative omar. she was right to call them out. and in the apology -- ed: just as i'm sure she's called out anti-muslim remarks. chelsea clinton doesn't need to be questioned like t.at pete: you said it. she's heavily liberal. like she checks every box but she's still not good eno.gh rachel: not liberal enough. we're going to turn to some headlines right now. investigators recover

ed: well, the washington post published simply a blockbuster report. it called out the obama administration's failure to act after a number of warning signs about the rise of fentanyl. the post reported that from 2013 to 2017 in early 70,000 people died of synthetic opioid related overdoses. the majority of those deaths were tied to fentanyl. so, did president obama and his top a.i.d.s. simply ignore early alarm warning signs about fentanyl? here to weigh in, former doctoring czar under president george w. bush john walters. good morning, john. >> good morning, ed. how are you? ed: this story was remarkable when i read it a couple days back because it seemed like everyone from president obama to the attorney general eric holder they were given memos, they were given briefings, and they were given all these warnings and they seemed to do little or nothing about it. >> yeah, parts of the country started exploding with overdose threats and the reports were obvious everywhere. the white house spent less time talking about warning people about this than it did in cases of tainted food from factories.

they didn't even warn people about the danger. it was busy on a campaign of de decriminalizing drug trafficking and ignoring front door where most of this was coming up. precursors come up through china china. and they came up through mexico. and the legacy of this today is we're not even talking about the crisis that we face because we don't want to have border security that we need here. ed: you make another important point there about it tying into border security. said a lot of this fentanyl, yes comes from china, and a lot of it comes up through the border, right through the border from mexico. so you have the obama administration not dealing with fentanyl and not dealing with the border crisis. >> absolutely. and we still have confused republicans and democrats saying it's not a crisis. 70,000 people in the united states per year are dying, 200 a day roughly, from drug poisons coming across the southwest border. and that's not a crisis. i mean, that's just the kind of out-of-touch washington that people in the country are mad about, and rightly so. ed: sure. let's be fair with what any administration has to deal with.

the post article referred among other things to a letter that health experts had put together warning president obama and his aides. you've been in these rooms before, in power, in the bush administration. you get a lot of letters, you get a lot of briefings, you get a lot of people saying things. why do you think the obama administration failed to prioritize this? you get a lot of letters. why didn't they see this letter and say, you know what? time-out. we better do something. >> yeah. this was not hard to see. you do get a lot of letters and people have special interests and they have particular pain. but this was people talking about deaths in an alarmist way. i got called by people -- i wasn't even in office -- saying can you talk to somebody, can you get the drug office, can you get the white house to move? the the difference here was the remarkable amount of death that was going on. this was a highly potent substance causing death on a record level. no national alarm, no statement from the white house, no statement from justice, no statement from hhs.

when i say massive institutional fairly, national security, health, and national leadership took a walk. ed: quickly i've got 30 seconds. talk about the trump administration. number one they've got a new budget out. democrats upset that it's got massive cuts, let's be honest, to the office of national drug control policy. is that wise? what's your message to president trump? >> well, look. it's not about a bureaucratic office. it's about a plan. the office of drug policy also failed during obama. i've been in conversations with people. the best thing that hammed in the last little while is the appointment of bill barr as attorney general. i worked with him in the first bush administration. he's a tough guy. trump made a great choice. he'll get something done. ed: we appreciate you bringing your insights today. it's a major crisis in this country. lori loughlin and felicity huffman, two parents caught in the largest college scandal ever ever. a counselor saying parents bribe

competitive where we are. and, you know, to get into these colleges, kids -- i get it. parents are very protective and they'll do anything for their kids. rachel: we're calling them snowplow parents now. pete: craziest example. you've got a pretty crazy one. >> so i heard of a parent that invented a charity and, you know staged a photo shoot with disabled children and, you know, and put that on the resume, put that on the college application, and it seemed to work. the kid went to an ivy league school. pete: so they set up a fake charity, they gave all the money they took a photo shoot and college admissions said wow, this kid looks great? >> yeah. parents, you know, in some of these affluent towns they don't really have much adversity and they have to show some sort of adversity or character. rachel: is that the key? like the application that admissions people want you to show you have some grit, something you went through, but these are privileged kids who don't have any of that? >> yeah, they haven't had adversity, haven't had challenges like that so they have to show that they've got

heart, they've got character, they've given things to the community. so, you know, they'll cross the line sometimes. pete: you say this is institutional. i mean, parents are falling into a trap set in many ways by institutions. they want a certain type of candidate. >> that's right. well, it's because the definition of success is so narrow with these parents. it's like we want our kids into the elite school, and then these schools will, you know, be looking for a type of kid sometimes. and there's sort of trends to this. transgender kids, things like that. some kids get sort of a -- rachel: extra point. >> -- extra bump because of their -- you know, their identity i guess you'd say. pete: so identity politics has fully infected the admissions process? >> i wouldn't maybe go that far -- pete: i like hyperbole. >> in the admissions world you're not at a great advantage if you're a white male from an affluent town. rachel: that seems unfair. let me ask you this. is the bottom line, the lesson in all this that we're learning,

one, that maybe, you know, there's some bad incentives by the colleges, there's some bad parenting, but maybe not everybody needs to go to college college? >> see, i'm a community college math professor. and i see what, you know, sort of these kids that are struggling, they've not had these advantages. and, yeah. where are they going with this college degree? it's a very big question now. before a lot of jobs were there that are not there anymore. so, you know, college has become the thing. so so many people are pressured to go to college that probably should it be going college. rachel: really quick, do you think this scandal will bring about reform in the way these admissions standards are set that there might be some changes changes? >> you would hope so. i think this may be the catalyst for something like t.at pete: interesting. maybe just start a real charity. that would be a good start. >> right. pete: what's the name of your service? >> foley prep. rachel: thank you. as the venezuelan people suffer

pete: in a truly stunning admission, reuters reveals that one of their reporters sat on a bombshell report on robert francis beto o'rourke for two years. they report, quote, "in an interview in late 2017 o'rourke acknowledged that he was a member of the group on the understanding that the information would not be made public until after his senate race against ted cruz in november 2018." so is the media trying to protect another 2020 democratic hopeful? here with his reaction media report for the hill and radio talk show host on wor joe conscious. it's one thing to have behind the scenes access and wait until after the campaign. it's another thing to have information relevant to that campaign or that candidate and not talk about it. >> and remember, pete -- nice tie, by the way. that's a good look. pete: thank you, sir. >> ha-ha. hey. it's one thing to have that story in a type of race where it's a 40, 50-point race and it's not going to have any bearing on it.

i think you report everything but in this case remember a lot of people thought that beto o'rourke had a good chance to beat ted cruz in a deep red state and it's that kind of story that could have made the difference between winning and lose. cruz still won by two and a half points anyway but you've got to go report that. remember pete i always go back to brett kavanaugh and all the things we learned from that coverage then. i remember people talked about how he threw ice in a bar during a fight. they went through his yearbook. there he went through his pledging activities when he was wasal yale. all those things were dug into and fair game based on things that were not corroborated in any capacity based on allegations against him. if it's a republican, this stuff seems to get out. when it's a democrat, not so much. pete: it would be one thing if it was nothing, but even beto o'rourke himself admitting to the texas tribune about this. he's not happy -- he's not proud of it. he said not anything that i'm proud of today. he says, i'm mortified to read it now. incredibly embarrassed. so what he did as a member of this hacker group is something he's not proud of and maybe

voters would want to know about? >> absolutely. and look. also i think the bigger story is when he had a dui when he was 26 years old he got into a crash with a truck and then the police report says that he tried to flee the scene. and he just did an interview this week where he said he didn't try to flee. well, either the police officer is lying or he's lying, but either way this person's running for president, that's kind of a big deal 'cause people could have died in that situation. and look. what he wrote in that fictional story, by the way, pete, i mean, that's some creepy stuff. i know he was 15 and i don't like going back and looking at words that people said years and years ago, but in this case, it's almost an exception 'cause he writes this. as i neared the young ones i put all my wait, young ones being two kung, yes, sir, i did, on my right after, put the escalator on the floor until i heard the crashing of two children on my hood and then a sharp cry from one of the two. i mean, i get his 15 and it's fiction, but that's word weird. i don't know how else to put that. pete: to your point that kind of

weird stuff would be dissected endlessly if this were a viable conservative republican. will this double standard ever stop? >> no. that short enough for you? of course not. pete: great answer. joe, great answer, great tie, an excellent radio program too. heard it recently. good stuff. i do live in the tri-state area so i hear it, wor so i hear it. christopher steele now reportedly admitting he used an unverified media report to back up the anti-trump dossier. sarah carter has been following this story from the beginning. she joins us next hour. and a veteran-owned company isn't just selling soda. it's helping our heroes. wild bill's old-fashioned soda pop company is here to share their mission, live coming up next. ♪ they're our parents...

ed: it might have been an accident because he also messed up what he might be running for by saying united states, almost senate, because he ran so many times. rachel i don't even know if he knows what he's running for. rachel: like a good irishmen, he did the sign of the cross after he made that so-called gap. i suspect it's a washington gap because he may be a little bit nervous and beto had a lot of attention and he's reminding democrat voters don't fall in love with beto yet. pete: but joe's, he's familiar with these types of moments if we play the rewinded the vhs tape machine. listen. rachel: vhs, [laughter] >> my mother believed and my father believed that if i wanted to be president of the united states, i could be. i could be vice president. >> [applause] >> stand up chuck, let him see you. oh, god love you, what am i talking about? >> a man who will be the next

president of the united states. >> you can not go to a 7-eleven , or a dunkin' donuts unless you have a slight indian accent. >> put you all back in chains. rachel: those are greatest hits now some people find some people on his side of the aisle feel like that kind of makes him en deering. others say wow he's a gap machine. pete: we had the former economic advisor to president obama on the program, robert wolf. here was his take on the biden candidacy. >> name recognition right now as inception is a key, it's a holding place so someone like vice president biden and bernie sanders they are at 20 plus percent. the most important thing is who do we think can be president trump. today, most people think joe biden is the strongest candidate in the general election. that being said, as you said, you pointed to all of those things. getting through a primary is going to be incredibly difficult for those who are more moderate. ed: so is that what vice president biden is agonizing about? in a general election, he could

go tow toe to toe with president trump but can he get past the left the socialists who are pushing the party further further left and remember president trump said this back in the mid-terms out on the trail that joe biden got high name id, as a former vice president, but the two previous times he ran on his own, single-digit candidate without barack obama on a ticket with him joe biden has never gone any wear. rachel: that's interesting i didn't think about it that way. ed: 88 and 2008. pete: there's a five-point scale if you want to run for president as a democrat. what's your race, what's your gender, how much do you hate trump, how progressive are you, and how authentic are you, do voters believe you? the problem is he's a pretty authentic guy but if he's becoming more progressive he becomes more inauthentic and he's an old white guy so he already doesn't meet the first two boxes and he's in a really tough spot and we'll see how it unfolds. rachel: it really shows how far the democrat party has moved to the left that joe biden who ran

with barack obama the ultimate progressive now is too moderate. ed: from obama maybe to o'rourke , obviously -- pete: the irish? ed: i'm not sure what he is. pete: he's got robert francis. rachel: he's going to be latino but i think that sounds like an irish name. ed: but breaking this morning remember reuters broke this story a couple of days ago that back when he was a teen, beto o'rourke was part of this hacking group potentially could have been involved in crimes, weird writings, and what not from his time again this is a long time ago so you want to be fair to him but it's sort of odd stuff that's just sort of pouring out and all of a sudden the reporter involved says well wait a second i actually knew about this when o'rourke was running against republican senator ted cruz. here is what he says in an interview in late 2017, o'rourke acknowledged he was a member of this hacking group on the understanding the information would not be made public until after his senate race, against

ted cruz, in november so he held it from 2017. pete: and this is juicy stuff. media runs on juicy stuff. the name of the hacking group is the cult of the death cow and his alias was psych a almost ic war lorde so listen he may have been 15, 16, 17 that's why they shouldn't vote any the way, nancy, but they held it back because they thought maybe robert francisco beat ted cruz so they didn't talk about it. rachel: it's a great point i said earlier add it to the list of things that never happened to republican candidates. remember mitt romney they drug out things that he did in high school. pete: remember the dog on top? rachel: the dog on top, they said he bullied somebody. ed: cut the hair of a roommate or something. rachel: so these things are drug out all the time. brett kavanaugh's stuff was drug out from high school so again these are little advantages that the left gets that democrat candidates get all the time from their friends in the media. ed: radio talk show host from the hill he's calling it out,

watch. >> it's one thing to have that story in the type of race where it's a 40-50 point race but in this case remember a lot of people thought that beto o'rourke had a very good chance to beat ted cruz in a deep red state and it's that kind of story that could have made the difference between winning and losing and cruz still won by two and a half points anyway but you've got to report that and if it's a republican this stuff seems to get out doesn't it and when it's a democrat not so much pete: yeah it's not good to launch your presidential campaign with an apology tour which is effectively what he does. and other writings, previous positions he's apologizing for his white privilege not the proactive and he's standing on kitchen counters waving his hands. what about like hey, guys it's kind of what i do every day. ed: and a retired firefighter from ohio sent me this note said call him beethoven o'rourke. rachel: they are already telling the president what to call him. [laughter] pete: i like that. well done. rachel: thank you, and we'll

turn to headlines right now, after spending two months a possible 2020 white house run, senator kirsten gillibrand officially enters the race take a look. >> what happens always and it isn't right now. i took your lead. i chose brave too. that's why i'm running for president. rachel: the new york senator releasing that announcement video this morning. she's now the 13th democrat to seek the 2020 nomination. and the murder of notorious mob boss frankie callie, these arrested anthony comello, media outlets report the men got into a fight because authorities say the suspect shot and killed the gambino mob boss outside his staten island home and comello, had no criminal history and those are your headlines. ed: oh, boy. rachel: don't mess with the niece. pete: we talk a bit about parent

ing on this show, rachel knows a bit about it, i'm learning about it, ed has done the parenting thing, so he's still doing it, older ages, so he's giving us a preview. well we've heard about helicopter parenting so the new york times now has an article about how parents are robbing their children of adulthood through a new form of parenting they say helicopter parenting the practice of hovering near one's children is so 20th century. some affluent mothers and father s are now more like snow plow machines chugging ahead clearing any obstacles in their child's path to success so they don't have to encounter failure, frustration, or lost opportunity , so it's now snow plow parenting. ed: it's coming to the forefront because of this cheating scandal with college admissions that parents, of course you got to help your kids you want to help them with the essays at least a little bit but you've got to push them and let them learn on their own and they might not get into the college they want and they will be disappointed but you deal with disappointment in

life this is something you have to deal with. rachel: i was telling pete the solution to this is have a lot of kids because you can't coddle them when you have so many but i was fascinated when we talked to this admissions counselor i had no idea literally that people were paying other people to sort of coach their kid along the admissions process. ed: all kinds of wild stuff. rachel: i asked how much it cost he said generally between 7,000 dollars and $10,000. pete: you're right in minnesota i didn't know it either. rachel: it's a east coast thing. or east and west coast that's what he said. fascinating. pete: well your e-mails have been pouring in your response to snowplow parenting an e-mail from jim said i'm a transparent parent allowing my daughter to make her own decisions but offer ing my insight when asked. rachel: my children are grown now but i did cowboy parenting when life throws you off you get back on the saddle and try and do it better i love that term. ed: joe offers i think a snow

plow parent is the worst kind of parent. i liken myself to a tow truck parent there for any emergencies to help them and get them going again, down life's bumpy road. pete: another one could be a snow shovel parent. i'm done shoveling, kid, take the shovel and get out and shovel. rachel: i'm a shovel parent i never shovel i make my teenagers do it, [laughter] pete: kids! it's free labor. rachel: yes. what are teenagers good for? if not shoveling? pete: well done folks. ed: christopher steele now reporting he used an unverified media report to back up or at least try to back up the anti-trump dossier. sara carter has the inside scoop she's been following it from the beginning and joins us live, next. pete: and shazam from dominating the basketball court meet deputy shaquille o'neal. rachel: but first a live look at the st. patricks day parade in london. ed: all right!

pete: well big new questions now rising after that about that anti-trump dossier. this after a report revealed that former so-called british spy christopher steele admitted to using posts by random individuals like comments on cnn 's website so back up his alleged claims. ed: that anti-trump dossier was used to help launch the fbi's probe into possible trump russia collusion our next guest has been covering this story from day one here to weigh in fox news contributor sara carter. sarah, we sort of chuckle at this idea they're using comments essentially on the cnn website to back it up but then why in the world do the fbi which should have been vetting this to verify it, why didn't they, to

me at least to do their jobs? >> well they didn't do their jobs, ed. they went ahead and they ended up filing foreign intelligence surveillance act warrant on carter page based in large part on this dossier, let's just think about this. we have a foreign british spy, former, for mi-6 he is hired and basically colluding with the hillary clinton campaign and the dnc because remember that's who paid him through fusion gps, to actually gather evidence and compile it into a dossier against the trump campaign. now we know based on his own deposition this isn't even based on un unsubstantiated reports but based on his own deposition that he was collecting information mainly from open sourcing okay that happens a lot when you're an intelligence officer but he's also collecting it just random random intelligence from cnn reports, all kinds of back and forth on the internet putting it into this dossier. he says something very interesting in his deposition and he contradicts himself and

this is what i want to point out he says well i'm only allowed to talk about the open source information that i collected in the dossier, which was the majority of it, and then later on he says look, the intent of the dossier wasn't to verify any information, it was just to compile information, which by the way, he also gathered from former fsb russian agents, these are people that are still connected to putin and everyone else, so he was just basically, he contradicts himself there, collects all of this information and then spreads it like a huge disinformation campaign across the globe. pete: so sarah, he compiled internet comments into a document that effectively was used to surveil members of the presidential campaign. >> absolutely, pete. i mean, and for two years, well let's just say three years, but for at least two years, now with this special counsel investigation, not only did this disinformation, if this was a russian operation which i'm sure

it was, once they figured out that christopher steele was asking questions, the russians, sure, found out right away who was paying for this. they compiled this information, they reeked havoc through our election system and so now this is what we're seeing result of this and now we're just waiting for the mueller report to see what he has to say. ed: absolutely that's coming soon sara carter has been on the story as we said from the beginning and she will be on with shawn hannity throughout the week 9:00 p.m. eastern. pete: happy st. patricks day. well california's governor spark ing outrage after declaring a moratorium unilaterally on the death penalty. >> he turned his back on the will of the people, showed mercy for the 737 individuals on death row who have never shown mercy in their lives. ed: angry there at the democratic governor of california now 2020 candidate beto o'rourke wants a federal ban on the death penalty. is it a good idea two criminal

what say you when it come to governors like the one out there in california whose basically gavin newsom is saying that in part, because it's unfair on racial grounds. it's time to abolish the death penalty. >> well let me start off and say happy st. patricks day and my name is ted o' williams. ed: [laughter] >> but having said that here, i'm in disagreement with both gavin newsom and beto o'rourke as it pertains to the death penalty. it is true that there is some disproportion all it when it comes to blacks being sent for death, and we know that if a black kills another black, that it's more likely than not they will not get the bill strong but but if they kill a white they will get the death penalty but all we need to look at christ

church, new zealand and see that someone takes a life like this. i believe there is no social redeeming qualities in someone who kills under those circumstances and the death penalty should be on the table. ed: i want to get phillip in this conversation but please listen to this from marc klaas, he lost his 12-year-old daughter polly, she was kidnapped and murdered. >> i have no respect for this man. he superceded the law. he turned his back on the will of the people, and he on a whim declared a moratorium and showed mercy, showed mercy for the 737 individuals on death row who have never shown mercy in their lives. ed: phillip you're against the death penalty tell me why marc k laas is wrong. the reason why i'm against the death penalty is because just in my lifetime and i'm not that old but we've had over 17 people who have been exonerated from death row after dna evidence proved

their innocence and for me, the risk is too grey when we've had even one person who is innocent that's been wrongfully sent to death row, and, you know, i understand to the extent that the victims families at times are, you know, feeling as though they're being left out of the conversation but the fact of the matter is the risk is too grave when we have people on death row ed: sure, ted what do you say about that risk? >> well i hear him but i disagree. look, we had timothy mcveigh. timothy mcveigh bombed the center in oklahoma and killed 168 men, women and children and we're saying that some animal like that should not be put to death? i think that this is the kind of a person that the death penalty should be. it should always be on the table ed: phillip last point from you what about marc klaas's point

about getting some measure of justice? >> i think life in prison is justice and i think that with respect to justice you're not putting yourself in a position where we're executing the wrong person because that's a mistake that we can't turn back from. timothy mcveigh i understand the need for him to suffer the way he made everyone else suffer but his life is not worth the risk of innocently, you know, executing an innocent person. ed: phillip, ted appreciate you both coming in serious viewpoints here on a very serious issue thank you very much. my pleasure. ed: the world is mourning as you just heard the tragic loss of it's now 50 people up from 49 in the new zealand mosque attacks. our religion panel here to discuss how to move forward where people are targeted sadly in their own houses of worship and beto o'rourke isn't afraid to admit he's a capital it's but according to him america's capital it's society is wait for it, racist. maria bartiromo joins us with her reaction you won't want to miss that straight ahead. >> ♪ ♪

pointed the finger, not only at the shooter, but even at the president and others. our panel of religious leaders is here to react. rabbi abraham cooper is here, associate dean and director of global social action at the simon ball center, dr. manas fre edy is a muslim center holocaust center and atman hat an college and robert jeffers is a fox news contributor, i want to start with you, so 50 muslims slaughtered in cold blood in new zealand. when you look at it they want to point at the president and other s who should we be looking at here? >> well let me say as a muslim, meaning they go back to where they belong which is a god, i stand with my muslim brothers and sisters today, and for the last two days, mourning the lives of precious lives,

innocent lives, and this is a time where i think we need not to be divisive. this is a time where we need better language and rhetoric and words of comfort for people 50 lives loss senselessly but i also want to say, this is a time where we need better leaders that can use language to calm us , to call out what we need to call out which is racism. we have been through too much, charleston, pittsburgh and now we have this. this is very frightening for all muslims and jews and immigrants and blacks. we must stand together as faith but also understand that politicians need to call this out and to stand with us and i think that's a very important message that religious leaders want to give to everybody in the world today. pete: rabbi she mentioned pittsburgh its been many faith groups, your response? >> yes of course also the

synagogues yesterday in new zealand were closed because of concerns and our prayers go out for all of the victims but the bottom line is that this shooter and the shooter at pittsburgh are working off of the same racist hateful script, fueled online, groomed on social media and of course even live stream ing the horrific slaughter that took place, so we need to put, we understand this as domestic terrorism. we need more resources. i've been in touch with facebook and think all of the big social media companies have to make sure that no one can broadcast a murder or a situation like this again. we have to take practical steps and we need to have a level playing field for all faiths, churches have also been targeted , and that should be the starting point, i believe, the politicians and frankly, all of the talking heads and different groups, i agree with the doctor we need to take a step back from that and focus on making sure

that whether it's friday, saturday or sunday, families can leave home, go and pray to god in their way, and come home in peace. pete: pastor jeffers, it appears "the talking" heads are not taking a step back they're moving forward saying it's president trump's fault. >> look, i think for the media to blame president trump for this horrific tragedy is disingenuinous, it's dishonest and it's dangerous. look the media knows what they're doing when they tried to equate the president's use of the word "invasion" to refer to the very real problem of that thousand illegals crossing our southern border daily when they try to equate that with this mad man juice to refer to these poor, innocent muslims who were living in their own country, and i think it is the height of hipocracy for the media to cry these crocodile tears over the hatred and the divisiveness in our country when they're the very ones with that hatred and

divisiveness by their own blatant dishonesty. pete: a lot of voices following something like this and doctor i want to go to the to respond to some tweets from a freshman congresswoman whose many ways for the left, alexandria ocasio-cortez, she tweeted two things in response to the attack amongst others. she said at first i thought of saying imagine being told your house of faith isn't safe any more but i couldn't say imagine because of charleston, pittsburgh, sutherland springs. what good are your thoughts and prayers when they don't even keep the pews safe? she went on to say "thoughts and prayers is reference to the nra 's phrase used to deflect conversation away from policy change during tragedies not directed to prime minister arder n, who i greatly admire." thoughts and prayers is that not a fitting thing to talk about after a tragedy? >> well i mean i do a lot of thoughts and prayers and today in riverdale, we have a vigil for muslims and the victims but

i do leave in action and i think what we really need to do is ask the fbi to do better work in scouting out who these people are. look, as a muslim, we have been seen as terrorists and the last two attacks in 2018 have been done by white nationalists and it's a fact. there's no denying, there's no divisiveness and bipartisan on that but i think what we need to do is ask the fbi to look at the militants and to see what we can do in terms of stopping this hatred and we do really need to call out white nationalism. i think we do need better gun laws but i also believe that to sort of talk about what republicans are doing or democrats or others is really not the time right now. what action can we take? we need to take better action, scruitinize who these white nationalist groups are and we need to call them white nationalists and call white racism. this is the fear muslims have that only the only thing we do

all the time is talk about islamic terrorists and i think that that's really hurtful for all of us today. pete: rabbi the original hate is anti-semitism a term. what do we do to fight hatred and bigotry? well let's understand that the synagogues in the united states and across europe that have been targeted, we've been having security for the last three decades and tragically, of course we talk about the neo-nazis and the white supremacists today but we have been targeted by islamic terrorists and i think the main point that's being missed here is that part of what they're trying to destroy is the sense of faith communities of people coming together putting their egos aside, trying to create a community, a better community at large, through prayer. we have to protect that as well and make sure that we can secure the perimeters of houses of prayer and we definitely need more commitment by the fbi to

look more directly at domestic terrorism. pete: pastor last word is prayer powerful? >> well, you know, we talked last week about how the democrat party is becoming a godless party and here is one more piece of evidence of that. their marquise star ridiculing the power of prayer, and look, no christian i know believes that you shouldn't do anything except pray, but we do believe prayer is the most important thing we can do. it's like somebody said, there are many things you can do after you have prayed, but there's nothing more important you can do until you have prayed. pete: well said, doctor, rabbi, pastor, thank you very much for your time this morning we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: you got it. coming up a democratic presidential hopeful, calling capitalism racist. >> there's a lot more we got to do to make sure this capitalism is just. it is clearly an imperfect, unfair, unjust and racist capital it's economy. pete: i don't even know what to say.

maria bartiromo reacts to that, coming up next. and we've been celebrating st. patricks day all morning long, but how good is our knowledge of all things irish? the quiz show on fox nation is here to quiz us, coming up. >> [bagpipe music playing] ♪ ♪ 'cos i know what it means ♪ to walk along the lonely street of dreams ♪

unjust and racist capitalist economy. ed: well joining us now host of sunday morning futures maria bartiromo. maria do you think he knows unemployment for african americans and hispanics are at all times lows? maria: i'm not sure he does know i'd like more explanation about this capitalism being racist because i don't think this makes any sense. we know the numbers that capital ism has listed millions of people out of poverty and that a market-based economy encourages people to work hard, to make their own way, to make money, and to create a better life for themselves and then hire people to work alongside with them, and socialism has destroyed economies, so i have no idea what he's talking about in terms of racism. pete: but think about it, personalize it so i don't know who is a bigger capitalist, you or the guy who follows you stuart varney so which one is the biggest racist? i mean really if the implication is if you're a capitalist, then you're supporting a racist system pointing fingers at people who enable that system

where does that mind set come from? maria: it's just more identity politics, more ideas to just put on capitalism so that people don't buy into it. look at the country you just mentioned the unemployment rate look at the economic growth that we have been seeing as a result of market forces once the president put in the policy of deregulation, allowing businesses to once again see opportunity on the horizon, they started putting new money to work and hiring people, so i just think this is more identity politics another reason for somebody of critical of president trump to comment and start using identity politics on what he's encouraging. rachel: maybe to compensate for being a white male in that field something he's already apologiz ed for you've got a great show coming up you've got my wisconsin senator ron johnson maria: that's right ron johnson from the senate homeland security committee we'll talk about the veto this week from the president, we'll talk about why 12 republicans went against the president and what happens now. will this veto be, will they be

able to override the veto which is unlikely. we're also going to get into all of these transcripts that have been released, doug collins congressman from the judiciary committee is releasing lisa page , peter strzok, he's going to come out with jim baker's transcript this is important. this is what you were talking about with sara carter. increasingly people are understanding what has taken place and how the individuals tried to stop donald trump in the 2016 election and then we'll get the democratic side we're going to talk about all of these policies whether it is identity politics, or, you know medicare for all and the green deal, and how this push is happening, within the democratic party. my sources as i was preparing for today's show my sources tell me that aoc is now readying a candidate to go up against, to go up against jerry nadler. she is trying to have a primary challenger to jerry nadler. that's how much pressure the moderates in the demonstratesing party are up against. rachel: wow. maria: so says aoc.
