american left descending from the obama administration attempted to pull off here. and it better never ever happen again. steve: keep in mind, the mueller investigation was started to look into rickenbacker collusion and the mueller report, according to mr. barr was emphatic. there was -- while the russians tried to do something and reached out to the trump campaign, the trump campaign never bit. ifor another 150 years. the fire going nature's bounty. there was no collusion. ♪ ainsley: all right. well, we got news that there is another caravan that is to inspire confidence through style. forming down in el salvador ♪ this saturday. i'm working to make connections of a different kind. they will be heading to guatemala and the interior ♪ i'm working for beauty that begins with nature. secretary olga sanchez cordero says this is the ♪ mother of all caravans. to treat every car like i treat mine. steve: yeah. ♪ sounds like it could be 20,000 in all. at adp we're designing a better way to work, people coming from el salvador, honduras, so you can achieve what you're working for. guatemala. one activist though said the ♪ reports calling this the mother of all caravans is false. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, it's just disinformation being spread by the department of homeland security and kirstjen through dna i found out that i was only 16% italian. nielsen to scare people. brian: listen, the caravans

stick with us on "fox & friends" here at the omelet shop on michigan avenue. brian: i saw you with back stage with the president what does your shirt say, pete? pete: it's capitalist. it's okay to be a capitalist? i don't think we are ever going to be a socialist country hopefully. ainsley: he said if a socialist goes in office expect your 401(k) to go in the "studio b." steve: pete, thank you very much. chicago mayor rahm emanuel says it's pay back time for jussie smollett. and has sen

♪ >> i'm so proud of the work of chairman adam schiff. so what is the president afraid of? is he afraid of the truth? that he would go after a member, a chairman of a committee, a respected chairman of a committee in the congress?

i think they are just scaredy-cats. steve: well, house speaker nancy pelosi rushing to adam schiff's defense while also taking a jab at house republicans who are calling for mr. schiff's resignation. here to react is house minority whip and republican congressman in the great state of louisiana steve scalise who apparently is one of the scaredy-cats. [laughter] >> good morning. good to be with you. not so much on that. i think a lot of pelosi's poodles out there running scared of the facts. they are still trying to chase down witch hunts. if that's what they want to be the party of constant harassment of the president. of his family. of allowing babies who are born to be killed when they are outside of the womb, that's what they have become. it's radical. steve: what do you make of the house intel committee republicans who called on adam schiff who is the chairman hey, have you deceived the american public long enough and there they are right there. you need to resign. >> it was powerful words and

frankly rooted in the fact for the last two years adam schiff has been going around saying he has more than circumstantial evidence of collusion. they have been hanging their hat on the mueller report. they were convinced there would be indictments and there would be all this evidence of collusion and there was none. in fact, he said there is going to be no new indictments and there was no collusion and they still won't get over it. they want to double down and, look, if he has some secret evidence that he is hiding from the prosecutors, this is lunancy. there was no collusion. get over that fact. nobody should have wanted it to happen anyway. but it didn't happen. and, yet, for two years they have been pedaling this lie. steve: now, the narrative has shifted into the attorney general is concealing damaging information, stuff that was -- that is in the mueller report. >> so when the mueller report comes out and it confirms that there was no collusion. and still says no indictments. are they going to then give it up? no. they will never admit they were wrong. they just move on and make some other baseless accusation.e are the people who

said if you like what you have you can keep it. steve: right. >> millions of people lost their good healthcare. they said there was collusion. more than strong evidence of collusion. there was no collusion. whatever they are going to say next, just consider the source. steve: your next piece of legislation on tuesday you are going to introduce the born alive act that would do, what? >> so, ann wagner from missouri filed this bill called the born alive act. what it does is gives full legal protections to babies born outside the womb. when i talk to people all around the country, the first thing they say is why do you need to do that it already exists, right? it doesn't. look at new york. new york celebrated the fact that if a baby is born alive they can still call it and call it abortion. in virginia, you saw the governor explaining barbarically how you can still kill a baby after its born outside the womb. steve, we are not even talking about the abortion debate anymore. this is murder. we need to protect innocent life. when the baby is born alive outside the womb, it should be fully protected, starting tuesday we will be collecting signatures on a

discharge petition to get this bill brought to the floor for a vote. steve: i think a majority of americans would support something like that. >> a majority of people who are pro-choice support this bill. they think this is beyond the abortion debate. you are murdering innocent life. let's protect those babies who are born outside the womb. steve: all right. steve scalise. >> great being with you. go tigers. steve: indeed. there you go. meanwhile, straight ahead. decorated navy seal eddy gallagher put in solitary confinement war crimes trial. lawmakers are working to get him out. this morning his brother and wife will join us live with the latest.

all allegations of sex crimes in vatican city to civil authorities. or face fines and possible jail time. it's the first time the v.a.t. has ever done this. it comes just over a month after the pope hosted an historic summit on the issue. a tragic story. a tourist taking pictures at the grand canyon falls to his death. authorities say a man from hong kong stumbled over the edge of the rim and fell 1,000 feet below. this is the second death at the grand canyon this week. on tuesday a body was found in a wooded area. the cause of death is unclear. the national park service is investigating. take a live look now inside the british parliament where lawmakers are debating ahead of a critical vote on brexit. today is the day the u.k. was originally supposed to leave the european union. prime minister theresa may facing an uphill battle to get part of her deal approved. if it passes, brexit will be delayed until may 22nd. if it fails, the u.k. has until april 12th to ask for another extension or leave with no deal.

brian? brian: what a mess. 25 minutes after the hour. congressman dan crenshaw is leading the fight to free decorated navy see edward gallagher from confinement ahead of upcoming war crimes trial in may. >> we're not adjudicating whether he is innocent or guilty. we don't know. what we do know is that in this country we are innocent until proven guilty. let's let him have his day in court. let's have an expedited process. right now he has been in solitary confinement for almost seven months. that's just not the way we treat people. brian: no, it isn't. since our interview even more lawmakers have joined the fight. i just got word it's now over 50 have signed congress men and women have signed a letter to the navy saying quote: to confine any service member for the duration of time regardless of the authority to do so sends a chilling message to those who fight for our freedoms. we are urging you to act quickly to reevaluate chief gallagher's confinement. joining us now with the latest is chief gallagher's

brother sean and wife andrea. welcome to both of you. could you describe the scene yesterday with congress men and women behind you, andrea, first, you. >> yeah. it was actually a really pivotal moment for us in the entire process. sean and i have been fighting tirelessly and certain points we just felt like we weren't getting anywhere and then we gained some amazing momentum, thank god, to congressman ralph norman, congressman duncan hunter and yesterday we were with them on the capitol. sharing the story of my husband, eddie gallagher. brian: so eight tours in iraq andyour brother. and is he in jail for what reason? roughly? without getting into too much detail for what reason. >> the absurdity of all of this, brian, and you know this well. eddie is in jail because he killed a member of the enemy. or allegedly killed a enemy on the battle field. details it's one of those things mountains of evidence

that andrea and i have known since the beginning that call into absolute question all of the accusations against eddie. so, yesterday, you know, we -- after talking to congressman over the past six to seven months. they listen to you. they dig into it. and they say, you know, this doesn't make sense. this is wrong and we need to stand up. we were very grateful to them. it's one of those things that's just a symbol. it's a step in the process where people are using common sense to look at this and saying this doesn't make sense. eddie it's treatment is abhorrent that someone who has fought for our country as bravely and as steadfastly as someone as him that is being treated like this and thrown in jail with sex offenders for nine months before he even has a chance to prove his innocence. it just doesn't make sense. brian: andrea, to paint this picture. and i know the president is aware of this. he is evaluatinn. your trial is coming up in may. it was supposed to be in february. while it's postponed what is life like for y >> yeah, i mean, this is

obscene. why? why was this necessary in the navy put my husband on the fourth most strict level of pre-trial confinement. and our legal team has filed a motion as of yesterday indicating that the stance that the prosecution took, which they have slandered my husband. they have slandered my family. we have evidence now saying none of the validation for him getting put in pre-trial is substantial. and so that in and of itself is horrific. the fact that my children have barely seen my husband. we have to go behind bars to visit a man who is a decorated war hero. my children are just beside themselves. we have let him go eight times to serve this country and now this, brian, will be the longest time we have ever had to be away from him. nine months, potentially. brian: sean, he has got to be able to meet with his counsel on a regular basis. he cannot. he can't see his family on a

regular basis. how do you prepare for a trial that will decide your life if you are forced to go over these hurdles? >> we couldn't each agree more. this is what i said yesterday. let it sink in that it took 50 members of congress, brian, 50 to ensure that eddie has his basic constitutional rights and those of human decency. a man who served his country for 20 years, 8 combat tours. three medals for valor, four for good conduct the accolades are ridiculous. what we're asking for to get to see family my nephew his son doesn't have to dress in a robe when he goes and sees him and visits him in prison. what they are trying to do is break him being, brian. they have been trying to do that from the beginning. they don't realize is he a warrior on the battlefield and here at home and they're not going to do it. brian: two fighters on the outside making sure he gets out soon and hopefully one in the white house. sean and andrea, thanks so much. we have your back and i look forward to having eddie on the show soon. >> we really appreciate it thank you, brian. >> thank you so much.

you know, making sure that people come here the right way. pete: issue number one for you. what is it. >> the border wall. pete: coming here the right way. >> yep. coming here the right way. pete: well said. blake, what makes you support the president? >> first honest president we have had in ages. the border is very important to me. our economy is incredible. the healthcare situation is coming on. but the border really, we are losing our country. and we need to get our country back. the way to start that is at the border. we have to close that down and get that fixed. and i don't understand how anyone can call this man a racist because when you look at that crowd, there is every walk of life, every ethnic group involved in that at the rally. i don't understand that. pete: well said. as you can hear folks, a lot of smart folks here in grand rapids. the omelet shoppe.

some of the most high profile murder cases in history. part of season two on the fuhrman diaries on fox nation. here with more on the fuhrman diaries on fox nation mr. far fuhrman. good morning, mark. tell us about the fuhrman diaries. >> what's interesting is when i personally watch crime dramas, i'm always trying to grab at the tv or yell at the tv well, what about this? what about this? so the fuhrman diaries is kind of, i'm a tour guide, a homicide detective tour guide that's done the job that's trying to take you through cases you think you know and show you what some of the flaws are even in cases that were solved where they have a tendency to forget the mistakes and move on pause the suspect was captured, yet, those mistakes will surface again in the future because they never corrected them. ainsley: we saw a clip of you taking us back to the robert blake case. were there flaws there?

>> well, there was quite a few flaws there that on really everybody's regard. how they prosecuted it, how it was investigated. how they concluded certain things. but the most important thing is the thing that the viewer will see. he is missing several minutes, probably almost up to 8 minutes of his alibi between the time he left the restaurant and signed a credit card and then he knocked on the door of a local resident to notify 911 that his wife had been shot. so that's kind of a red flag. but they kind of never explain that completely in the prosecution or the investigation. ainsley: you also take us into the amber hagerman case. that case inspired the amber alert. tell us about that. >> well, it's really a sad case. it's never been solved and not because the police made

any mistakes. there just was not much to work on. and they are still working on the case. i have talked to the detective still handling the case as recently as a couple of months ago. she was killed and found by a creek bed. there was no forensic evidence. but what came out of her death was the amber alert. what's surprising for the viewer is how difficult it was to create the amber alert and just how much interference governments, even the fbi initially was not on board on the amber alert. my view is, if it saves one child, it's worth, i don't care how many millions of dollars. ainsley: absolutely. she was only 9 years old. thank you so much, mark. check out the fuhrman diaries on fox nation. if you are not a member, go join today. see you later, mark. a 10 in 1 photograph bundle for more than 80% off.

ainsley: i have been. steve: mark morgan, former fbi assistance director, former border chief under president barack obama. ainsley: switching gears. steve: that's right. mark, i will ask you a little bit about this. there is story out there, sounds like the mother of all caravans could be heading to our southern border. people from el salvador, honduras, guatemala, are forming a caravan could be 20,000 people that kind of sounds like a crisis? >> yeah, exactly. look the commissioner of customs border protection, he was just down in el paso this week. and he said some incredibly important things. one of them he hey, look, detention facilities 4,000 full. 6,000 is crisis. we're at 13,000 now. they are beyond a crisis. they're overwhelmed. look, they have been saying this for a very long time and

congress has just ignored them. this caravan coming in, no surprise. it is absolutely crisis. and the president was right to say that this is an emergency. brian: in fact, here he is last night. >> we are building that wall. look it, the hundreds of thousands of people that are invading our country, you would know that we need it. another two caravans are pouring up. mexico could stop them. so easy. if they don't right now, i'm telling you we will close the damn border. >> build that wall. build that wall. brian: he has a billion to build the wall. if he closes the border an option? do you blame him for saying mexico is not doing anything? >> brian, the president is 100% correct because here is what we've got. the wall, part of that multilayer infrastructure, infrastructure technology,

personnel that is great to stop bad people and bad things coming in but that will not stop this caravan of 20,000 people. it's a broken asylum laws. they know, once they step one foot on american soil, they're allowed in, never to be heard from again. it is defacto amnesty. so they're coming. when he says, hey, we may have to shut down the border, that is not unrealistic option. ainsley: mark, there was a picture that a reporter for "the washington post," his name is nick mirof, he tweeted out this picture. he wrote at the bottom of it, this is el paso right now where hundreds of migrant families are held in the parking lot of a border patrol station because there is no room for them inside or anyone else. you can see the migrants on the other side of that fence. they're underan overpass. in response to that congresswoman ilhan omar. this is abhorrent, inhumane. without a doubt of reflection of white nationalism.

as a country we have to acknowledge this is how people are being treated here. decide we are better. we must do better. what is your response? >> i'll tell you i'm outraged. that is a irresponsible, reckless, statement. just further divides our country. let me tell the american people, that statement, that is an out right lie. what you saw there was the result of broken asylum laws, bad judicial precedents and congress not doing their job. the border patrol detention facilities are overwhelmed. i.c.e. is overwhelmed. there is no room at the inn. so what you saw was because there is nowhere else to put them b blatantly failed to do their job. the only way you will not see that pick you are, the only way, if you open borders and let them in. outrage. she should be admonished and ashamed of herself. brian: continues. one outrage just statement every five days it seems, minimum.

mark, let me ask, name two things. you talked about the wall already. name two things congress could do right now that would ameliorate the problem we did with mexico? mexico was issue. we passed laws. it is no longer an issue. what message could we send to central america? >> so that's right. we need to send a message to mexico right away. they need to continue to do what they're doing in san diego, thinking about doing in el paso. mate asylum-seekers wait in mexico, that mexico is safe third country. wait in mexico it waiting for asylum hearing instead of coming into the united states. second thing they could do, fund i.c.e. better. get more bed space specifically, family unit bed space. steve: mark, talk a little bit what is going on out in chicago. jussie smollett was arrested. he was charged with 16 felonies for faking a hate crime. out of nowhere, the prosecution, the state's attorney, kim fox dropped all the charges. well, now rahm emanuel, is so

steamed. he says that in a letter, to jussie smollett's attorneys, they're going to send him a bill for $130,000, which is about the cost of the investigation. do you think, do you think the city of chicago is ever going to see that money. >> that is not the point. this is a brilliant move by the mayor, absolutely brilliant. here is what he has got. if jussie pays it that is admission of guilt. if it doesn't, it goes to civil court, right? that means that case will be unsealed. what people need to remember in civil court, right, civil court burden of proof is preponderance of evidence. you don't have to be charged or even convicted of a criminal violation to be held liable in a civil case. people should remember, o.j. simpson. that would happen. this is brilliant move by the mayor. steve: unseal the records. >> ultimately hold him accountable and hold him liable.

he will be found in civil court he did this. brian: mark, turns out two brothers there, hired to do this. no wait, according to jussie, he was attacked. by whom? the brothers admitted attacking him on a script. he says i was attacked by two trump supporters. they say they're black. he said they were attacked by white people. they say, he might have been in white makeup through a stocking mask. have you ever seen something so ludicrous? >> so absurd. the american people are not buying this i haven't talked to one person that is buying that. another thing that the state attorney's office that was bizarre, they went on national tv, laid out all 16 indictments we know what the case is. this is absolutely absurd what the defense team is saying right now. steve: it is crazy. mark, thanks for joining with us your point of view. >> you bet. ainsley: jillian has some headlines. jillian: we're following a number of stories, starting with

this, a man taking pictures at grander canyon falls to his death. a man from hong kong fell over the edge of the rim, fell 1000 feet below. this is the second death at the grand canyon this week. a body found in a wooded area on tuesday. the cause of death is unclear. the national park service is investigating. a california horse track is reopening after 22 horses died there since december. santa anita park is putting new tolerance with intolerance for race day medication and whipping. investigators look what is causing the horse's death. some of the animals suffered fractures. at least one had a heart attack. 16 parents accused in the 25 million-dollar college scandal investigation are expected to appear in boston. dozens of parents are accused of bribing school officials to get their children in elite universities. actresses felicity huffman and
