vehicles and bulldozers preparing for the potential of that operation. monday night after the initial rocket attack a series of strikes in gaza by israeli air force, additionally hamas and islamic jihad groups operating inside the gaza strip as a series of rockets capture those images as the israel missile defense system intercepted many of those rockets in an effort to keep the israeli people along the border safe. we understand negotiators are working with groups inside gaza to negotiate a long-term cease-fire deal that would give both sides the opportunity to calm things down and avoid a major war. heather: we hope things calm down with you and your crew, appreciate it. back at home we talk about the green new deal. you can call it the green no deal, democrats climate change pipedream failed its first test.

like that. it shows lack of coordination and communication with the state attorney's office. obviously jussie smollett knows for this to take place in cook county, it is really sad. all the attention, the lions share of media attention when he was reported that he was attacked. in chicago, 32-year-old young lady was killed, her baby was shot in the kneecap that her husband is in critical condition. the media is all about jussie smollett. he owes the city more than apology but some type of explanation in the cook county state attorney's office, they are the people of cook county in the nation of what happened. heather: i want to go back to the allegations that it is all a matter of who you know and people in higher places. this text message was one of many that went back and forth between michelle obama's former

chief of staff and a text that went to fox with the state attorney general saying i want to give you a call on behalf of jussie smollett and family who i know, they have concerns about the investigation and following up with this email exchange from fox where she says spoke with superintendent johnson. i convinced him to reach out to the fbi to ask they take over the investigation. he is reaching out now and will get back to me shortly. do you think this went back and forth? >> connect the dots. the communication chain took place with people in high levels of society and jussie smollett was able to walk away without being charged anymore, all charges were dropped. this is one time they did their due diligence, they did their job and went through the process. i'm not saying i was wishing jail on jussie smollett but some

consequences should have taken place with the situation without a doubt. prison 2.0 all the way. heather: what are the consequences for those facing real crimes against them? who are reporting real hate crimes? >> jussie smollett was an ordinary young african-american male in chicago. he would never get out of jail because it is hard. the reality is people with real crimes out here, the consequences should be jussie smollett, they should mandate him to visit people that experience hate crimes in the lgbt community, and homophobic crimes against people throughout the united states. he should be mandated to perform community service with victims of real violence. heather: we will see what happens next if the fbi gets involved in faces federal charges involving the alleged letter he wrote himself.

julie: mueller report clearing the president of collusion with russia but how did the two year russia narrative impact our credibility on the global stage? here to weigh in is a man who

says he personally experienced russian interference with an election, the former president of the republic of georgia, thank you very much. >> good morning to you. heather: let's get your personal experience with russia trying to interfere with an election. it was your own. >> yes. the 2012 very important crucial election in my country, russia did the same thing, social media campaign and also hacking of our computers and telephone systems and all kind of stuff we are painfully aware of. heather: as a result you approached the obama administration, hillary clinton, secretary of state, this is going on, you need a little help.

what was their response into did you speak to? >> we appeal to every level of officials. i was meeting permanently with hillary. i mentioned it to president obama and close advisers and every single official from washington that i met because we were seeing of course russia for two reasons, georgia was the world's number one and georgia was a fine democracy which -- bill: don't want thriving democracy in that area. >> not yet and donald trump came to us in georgia said that he was fascinated by that and praised me and the reforms and tax system and was investing in georgia. we have friends on both sides. the problem was what was

happening. russia handed over to russians, single shareholder. who happened to run a business, $2 billion. heather: by russia to the person running against you but what was the response when you were coming to the obama administration and hillary clinton with these concerns, what did they say to you? >> they said we were paranoid, pushing us to allow more space to this russian oligarch. i found later, what actually happened is we had this guy, former clinton administration ambassador and another guy, senator blumenthal, and on this

-- heather: pay for play was going on. we are taking money that was ultimately going to the clinton foundation. heather: let's collect the dots. people are annoyed because of this report. foreign agents registration act and in washington, it doesn't have that ready. it is a -- the foundation, if --

would turn georgia into a caucasian cuba and make meaningful relationship possible. heather: we are almost out of time. >> it is like supporting israel. in order to appease your animus that is unfair. heather: you allege the same thing happening today. >> the same people as donald trump, i know for sure donald trump contained russia and i know vladimir putin. with your report, give me a break. his agent -- bill: there are a lot of calls to determine if the mueller investigation began to begin with and you have a lot of insight to provide.

served? know. >> staging hate crime and lying to police, he could face criminal charges. in the meantime there's brand-new ethics concerns in the case as chicago sun-times reveals text messages and emails that may show the state attorney was asked to interfere in the case. violence intensifying near the gaza strip as israel and hamas should off new rocket strikes overnight. the israeli army carrying out 15 strikes on hamas targets as militants fired at least 30 rockets into israel. as many as 1000 israeli troops are headed to the border. despite new numbers that backup the president's claim of crisis at the southern border democrats still pushing back, lawmakers grilling the secretary of defense over the pentagon's plan to pay for a border wall. >> to look at the pentagon as a piggy bank/slush fund undermines the credibility of the budget.

>> given the order from the commander-in-chief we are executing on that border. heather: congresswoman vicki of the armed services committee, we appreciate you joining us. >> glad to be here. heather: you were there yesterday. what was your feeling in terms of what transpired? >> i support the president's action. it is an emergency and we need to ask, 70,000 americans with drug overdoses last year, more than combined homicide and traffic fatalities and so the president was in his powers to make the emergency declaration and it was appropriate to transfer these funds congress had given the secretary of defense this ability. heather: we heard from the chair of the house armed services committee, democrat adam smith,

basically reprimanding shanahan saying you should not be able to reprogram this $1 billion. what did you think of that and should he be allowed to do that? >> of course adam schiff would say that, as a democrat who didn't support this, democrats who had not supported controlling the border, they would keep it open and keep drugs out of our communities and this is a political statement he made prior to our voting to try to override the veto of the president which was unsuccessful. but there is authority we have given the secretary of defense to reallocate $1 billion that was not going to be used because there was a shortage of recruitment in the army, many in the personnel account that was not going to be used and with the national emergency in place now that the president has put forward with 2000 people coming across the border, 90% of our

heroin coming across the border. it was appropriate and for him to do that. heather: let's look at the actual section of the border where this fencing will be put up. you have been to the border, you experienced it firsthand so you know what you are talking about. >> it is a war zone between the drug cartels and dedicated hard-working border patrol agents being outmanned and outspending many ways. we have got to act. it is very concerning. when you have more people dying last year due to drug overdoses, they have two traffic fatalities and homicides combined, that is an emergency and i'm proud of the president for taking the step he had to try to address this crisis that was long avoided. we need to get at it and get

these walls built and make sure our communities are safe and individuals and other countries come here make sure they are here legally. we want them and welcome them but they need to come legally and safely. heather: you mentioned house failing to overturn the veto, 248-141, additional 38 more votes. what are democrats doing? was it all for show? >> i am disappointed as they took over the house. instead of reaching across the island working in a bipartisan solution we can agree on such as going after the opioid crisis, infrastructure, rebuilding the military, they have just been putting forth one political thing after another from socialism to anti-semitism and this is a political stunt and it is too bad they chose to go this way. heather: it is moving forward from here.

talking about as we being in our conversation, donald trump's 2020 budget healthcare proposal includes cuts over a decade for medicaid, cuts $818 billion over a decade for medicare, 12% decrease in discretionary funding. this goes against some of the things the president promised. >> i applaud the new york times editorial board because i was surprised to see this. they are taking a pragmatic approach, not getting caught up in headlines. during the campaign trail donald trump did say he was not cutting medicare or medicaid or social security. is he going back on that? nothing in his proposal takes away benefits from the elderly and that is what people are stuck on. the losers are doctors and hospitals. i should be the one upset. i want everyone to know the proposal is not taking away benefits from our elderly. what it is doing is shifting

around a lot of money, cutting 500 plus billion funds from medicare. it is not that 800-number they are projecting but what it is doing is getting rid of waste and tight medicare spending is good government and he knows, he needs to decrease healthcare costs. we see him doing that with drug prices and helping out the opioid crisis. this goes along with fiscal conservative policy. for democrats to sandblast that is being irresponsible which they want to expand the thing to everyone. it is on an unsustainable path. i'm optimistic, curious to see what these cuts look like. i like that he's not taking anything away from our elderly or medicare. heather: the person or group people should be angry with our democrats who are trying to make

it seem like the president is taking away benefits from the elderly. heather: it is all politics for 2020. they want healthcare when it comes to that election. what they are not understanding or what they are understanding is donald trump is trying to make a positive dent in healthcare. he is trying to take the republican side and avoid socialized medicine. this is the first step. heather: let's talk about obamacare. democrats, a new war against donald trump's plan to kill obamacare once and for all altogether. how will this end? >> the saga continues. all the little things donald trump keeps doing ultimately what he is trying to prepare for is the republican plan, working on the repeal, the doj holding up the unconstitutional aspect is repealing the portable character.

he is working to repeal it, to strip away the affordable care act that made it the unaffordable character. heather: do you think you would abolish and repeal it altogether which is another thing democrats are warning saying he's going to do this and all the people dependent on healthcare, obamacare left with nothing? >> is trying to lower healthcare prices so it does become more affordable so when he repeal the affordable care act he will be able to implement something in place. a lot of people upset if you take away medicaid and the subsidies. he is trying to listen healthcare costs and bring back coverage in different forms whether it is block granting, coming up with catastrophic plans to lower costs and parts of the affordable care act people don't like without taking away coverage. without getting held up in crazy media headlines. heather: happy to be here.
