baseball field. pouring gasoline and setting on fire best bet. turns out not so genius idea. the fire department had to be closed and the field is closed for a week. rob: some guy in that town not the whole town. not very smart. jillian: have a good day. steve: straight to a fox news alert. it's 6:00 here in new york city and a decorated new york city firefighter reportedly among four americans killed in a taliban bombing in afghanistan. jillian: the ied attack targeted the largest u.s. military base there. brian: meanwhile supposed to be in the middle of peace talks. >> good morning, a husband, a dad, a marine. that fdny firefighter among four who died traveling in a convoy near bag gram air base according to the "new york post." the taliban claiming responsibility. that claim also a not yet been independently verified.

7 u.s. soldiers have been killed so far this year in afghanistan. violence nut country continues despite the u.s. peace talks with the taliban. secretary of state mike pompeo tweeting his condolences, quote: my heart of felt prayers to the family of the americans killed near bagram. i condemn this disgusting terrorist act. u.s. service members have sacrificed their lives in afghanistan to keep us safe and no cowardly act of terror will impede our efforts to achieve peace. they're are currently around 14,000 u.s. troops in afghanistan. experts predicting a spring offensive with continuing violence, despite peace talks. the taliban saying it won't give up until all foreign troops leave and we are not naming a hero firefighter who lost his life until the military douse u back to you. steve: that's right, todd, thank you very much. as soon as the military confirms, we will confirm and we will relay that information to you. ainsley: he leaves behind children and three others he said also killed. three other americans.

we don't know anything about them. our hearts and prayers go up to all of those family members. brian: as ambassador tries to move forward with peace talks and exit strategy out of there the taliban shows blue ridge rent as ever. you wonder that's that's going to go from where these are going. the president has made clear he wants out. steve: talk about what's going on in this country. a san francisco judge, the ninth circuit judge a fellow by the name of richard sea borg blocked that innovation from kirstjen nielsen where if you are asylum seeker coming into the united states wait in mexico until we get around to you. last week she actually, before she was fired or resigned or whatever actually happened there. she was trying to expand the program hoping to return hundreds to mexico each day from texas and arizona. now the judge says that law is probably unconstitutional because it violates the immigration and nationality act. angts ainsley those three liberal organization that went to this judge and said

look you need to block. this personal civil liberties university. southern poverty law center. the president is violating the law. the danger these migrants are facing and president is making it too difficult to seek asylum. brian: five days to adjust the president obviously and administration move this up the ladder. reverls it. because, in canada, you can leave somebody in canada as they wait to come into the united states. what's the difference between mexico? i believe they're neighboring, they are bordering nations. they say it might be too dangerous? really? here is what the president tweet you had. the ninth circuit judge just ruled that mexico is too dangerous for migrants so unfair to the u.s. out of control. this is what the president is up against. it's not an unwillingness to crack down on our border. it's not unwillingness to make sure people go through our laws, inspects an inability to deal with security and the laws that are on the books. kids come across, they have

got to stay. they can't be detained for more than 20 days. parents couple across with kids now they both get. in not a matter of being tough. it's a matter of going with our laws that are working against our own security. case in point. ainsley: president says you can only apply for asylum if you are near certain death or, persecuted for political beliefs or faith in your home country. it doesn't apply if you live in a poor condition or if you are in economic despair or even if you are experiencing gang violence. he says this asylum program is a scam and being abused by will migrants and many have phon phone stories. steve: if you set one foot on american soil you get to have an asylum hearing. the judge made it clear the ruling does not stop congress from creating the same prohm under federal law. once again the can is kicked back to congress. brandon judd the put of the national border patrol looks

at what this judge did, do you know what he sees? he sees a partisan decision. >> it's completely ridiculous. if you look at the judicial activism that's taking place in the united states because of partisan politics, the courts have ruled that it's perfectly legal to allow us to keep people in canada pending their asylum claim. we should -- that should be allowed to happen in mexico as well. this idea that there is too much violence in mexico until the state department comes out and makes a ruling on that, that judge had no standing to make that decision. this is going to go to the supreme court u it's gonna be won at the supreme court. brian: remember, just a few days ago, too u as we try to get ahold of our border, understand, too we asked mexico to do more. they cut back on all their border security to focus in other areas. now, when the caravan started parading through and going to the "the washington post." the mexican people were rallying around. they are providing aid and best of luck as you make your way to the u.s.

the caravans have come so fast and furious and continuing they are fatigued by it, out of good weu8, they're out of supplies. they don't really have any room for them. it's taken away from their infrastructure and their social programs. they want it to stop. so maybe mexico might be as motivated as america to stop what's happening at our southern burden -- their southern border. ainsley: health and human services have been spending letters to different people in different cities and judges and asking would you be okay if we built a shelter in your city this judge in dallas said he got one of those letters around said yes we are willing to help. we are able to do that. they are looking at building shelters? dallas, houston, fort worth and san antonio. steve: rather than a tent city as we have seen on our southern border to use space that's already constructed. they essentially build a shelter in one of those towns and it avoids adding the temporary space. some of these migrants from

countries could be coming to texas and georgia. ainsley: looking at phoenix and atlanta. brian: a lot of you are saying what about 2020? there is hardly any candidates in the race. won't someone stand up? i'm being sarcastic. somebody else has come forward, a congressman from california. to his credit you see him on our channel a lot. lately he has been saying something i find totally illogical about the mueller report and he believes the president has doug colluded in n site eric swalwell chooses the bear report to make it official. >> i have defended our country from the intelligence committee while democracy has been on the ropes. i see a country in quick sand, unable to solve problems and threats from abroad. unable to make life are better for people at home. i'm ready to solve these problems. i'm running for president of the united states u. [applause] >> it's official. >> now it's official. >> boy did it feel good to say that.

steve: he is getting a lot of products because, when you run in iowa, and new hampshire, you get a lot of publicity because that's the first caucus and first primary state. is he actually born and raised in iowa. plus, to your pointed, brian, about you see him a lot on the channel. you see him a lot on all cable news. that's really that's important is the ability to get noticed in the first couple of states which he will be able to given his birth and then get on tv. ainsley: dad was a police officer. mom made doll houses in the garage and wedding cakes and said he was born in iowa. they moved to california when he went to high school and then he graduated from the university of maryland. went to law school in maryland. said his parents are conservative. he is one of four boys. and his parents said how did one of our kids become a democrat. they watch fox news. steve: listen, where does he stand on the issues? if you are unfamiliar with them. here is little montage of what eric swalwell is all about. >> the president acts on

russia's behalf. you saw strong evidence of collusion that they just chose to ignore it and some of them worked very hard to bury it. >> we should abolish the policies that allow ice to go in to communities and tear apart families. >> yes. as described by donald trump, his wall i think is immoral. we propose ideas like free community college. >> time to have universal coverage. brian: one thing you have to say to him he is one of these people that doesn't want to get buried in the woodwork. he wanted to come forward on other issues. and he wanted his parents to see him on television that's why he came ons fotion fox news. he comes on all the time. he understands the arguments i look forward to seeing him in the race. it seems like a whole bunch of people at the same level they all almost every poll trail joe biden and bernie sanders in a very crowded field. there is not a lot of money pouring in. we will talk about this next hour into the democratic candidates. especially as compared to hillary clinton, barack

obama, and even who else was running back then? john edwards u all three of them were in double digits in money earned at this point. and now they -- you have guys mostly making between five and $10 million. steve: why is that? only a certain amount of money and because there are now 18 people running that money is fractured. ainsley: running with swalwell in the race there might be someone else interested in being president, too. steve: this has to be a joke. ainsley: alec baldwin teasing on twitter. if i ran for president would you vote for me? i promise i won't ask for money. and i promise i will win. beating trump would be so easy, so easy, so easy. steve: he won't ask people give it anyway. brian: a lot of free publicity. alec baldwin gets himself in trouble every six weeks. i think that might be an issue. whether it's a parking spot violation or something he

tweets out or going after a reporter or bringing his bike the wrong direction. that might be his major issues. he would get a lot of publicity. one thing donald trump taught everybody there is a way to get free news, free publicity. and that's be part of -- make yourself available to all news outlets. steve: he would do well in new york i don't know about the rest of the country. what do you think? email us? friends@foxnews.com and also on facebook. ainsley: jillian does have news with us. jillian: we are starting with serious news. we start with a fox news alert. a man accused of plotting a terror attack near washington, d.c. is due in court today. prosecutors say ron dell henry you wanted to drive this stolen u-haul truck through crowds of disbelievers through a terrorist hot spot near maryland. i was going to keep driving and driving and driving. i wasn't going to' stop. henry, who had isis propaganda on his phone said he was inspired by the truck attack in nice, france in

guard corps a terror organization and slapping it with sanctions. iran retaliating labeling central commands a terror group. daniel hoffman joins us now a member of the president's intelligence advisory board he joins us to weigh in. daniel, what does this mean? we knew they have been a problem. we put them in a special category. what changes? >> it is unprecedented move. typically reserved a for non-state actors, terrorist groups. iran is a state sponsor of terror. i think the trump administration might argue that that's a distinction without a difference. they are supporting terrorist proxy militias like hezbollah. terrorists in iraq have done so much harm in those countries and as secretary pompeo noted you have targeted our people and installations out in those regions. brian: dan, here is the thing people should understanding, right? they were created after the 1979 revolution because they wanted to make sure people didn't come back. you got the military here and paramilitary group here. now, what does this enable

us to do? sanction them directly? do we understanding how they are financed? is it not directly from the government? >> right. key component of sanctions is intelligence. is knowing the rbgc personnel and energy. they control secretary pompeo noted about 20% of iran's economy are also responsible for running iran's ballistic missile program. we will take that information and we will track who is doing business with them and knows who do including europeans would risk having visas revoked or themselves being sanctioned. brian: look what they have done to us already in four terrorist attacks sponsored directly by these people. 1973, people killed in the terrorist bombings. 1983, 241 marines killed in the barracks bombing. and then 1996 khobar towers. and we know about that other plot in 2011 attempted assassination of saudi ambassador in washington.

unnamed things they did at war in iraq. this goes to show we are pushing back hard. meanwhile, they are getting a foot hold in iraq over us. >> right. those examples you noted of iran's terrorism are the most notorious examples. some others. particularly as you note in iraq where iran has supported these proxy militias that have targeted our people there with lethal attacks. we estimate over 600 americans were killed. i wouldn't be surprised if that figure is a bit higher. really they are nefarious impact on the region at large. i think we are doing the region a favor by stepping out front like this with this unprecedented policy measure. brian: we know israel doesn't mind and know they are actually running out of money to finance hezbollah and forces in syria. maybe the sanctions are working. daniel hoffman, always great to get your expertise. thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour. gavin newsom visiting

president for cutting the funding to the three countries. >> it's a political stunt. he says is he going down there to get a better understanding of what is going on. he needs to travel around california and get a better understanding of what illegal immigration has done to the state. steve: i know your son drew was killed by a man from honduras. which is one of those triangle countries, honduras, guatemala and el salvador. it should come as no surprise though that gavin newsom would be doing this right now because in his first three months in office he has fought the administration. he sued over the wall and he has pledged $25 million to help asylum seekers. you live in a sanctuary state. you know, this is kind of what they are all about out there, isn't it? >> oh, absolutely. actually, newsroo newsom. is one of the three people i consider directly related to my son's death. he was the mayor of san

francisco when my son was killed. it was his policy a year before that if you are in the country illegally can you drive in san francisco without a license. the guy who killed my son was caught prior to that. and they just dropped the charges, let him go, he continued to drive until he killed my son. newsom is ignoring his own state and worrying about everybody else. he is posturing for a run for presidency. not that he is not going to run right now. if trump wins another term. he will be running in 2024. that's what he is doing right now. steve: don. >> it's disgusting. steve: you have been on television a lot talking about the killing of your son. has the governor, now governor ever responded to your son's case directly? >> >> no i think it was 2013 when he was lieutenant governor, i sent him a long letter. i contacted his chief of staff who promised he would

read it. he had nothing else to do other than promote his book. no, it's not just newsroom. no democrats and i was a lifelong democrat. no democrats will ever respond to any victims and, look, you know, if he hears, this he knows where he can find me av act dot u.s. or contact you guys. i will fly sacramento in a second to sit and talk to him and try to let him understand what california's policies are doing to california. ainsley: don, listening to your story and seeing that picture of your son and being parents i can't go what you are going through. you think his policy is one of the reasons your son is not here. do you feel like -- it sounds like his death could have been preventable or is preventable and do you feel like the united states and our policies have let you down? how do you get through? >> i looked at probably a thousand or maybe even more

cases in the last 8 and a half years and in almost every single one. i just can't remember any that aren't. there were prior instances where the person who ended up killing an american citizen or illegal imgranted could have been detained let go. the guy was caught without a license in june. they let him go and in november he killed my son. that's one of the -- probably one of the simpler cases so, no. our government has betrayed us. president obama betrayed us. gavin newsom, every -- jerry brown. almost every legislator in california has put illegal aliens ahead of american citizens. and the results are a lot of crime and a lot of death. steve: well, we saw that the governor was traveling through central america, we wanted to talk to you. don rosenberg thank you for joining us today from california. ainsley: thank you, don. >> thank you for having me on.

spread of hate speech online. ainsley: kurt knutsson joins us right now. >> we don't have enough time to go through. if i could grill them unleash me for a moment. hey, how about the obvious question, good morning to you: how about the obvious question you got these algorithms that can predict essentially what we are going to do next and buy next. steve: right. >> how come you are not using those same algorithms that you spent millions to develop to at least protect us against people who know who is going to hate next. steve: how could they do that? >> might commit a crime next? very easy. they profile us to understanding when we are going to dodd drant on. they know every single thing about harvesting our data to predict what we are going to buy next and do next so that they can sell that to an advertiser. how about doing that offer us as a community if all

these things add up and you know someone historically hateful online and it might now rise to violence or insight violence. doesn't that -- can't you use those same al lori themes rather than wait for the world to say that was a problem, wasn't it? he killed the two people at that event. ainsley: do you know for sure they are not doing that? >> we are not seeing the results. we are not seeing the results of it. look at new zealand, if they are using it and they could use this guy in new zealand or, i mean, we could go to historically through a number of cases where people have gone outright in advance of their hateful, criminal activity and said i'm going to do this. i'm going to do this horrible thing. well, have they just used that algorithm to flag that in advance, perhaps local police at that time could have intercepted. i'm just asking. it's just a question. brian: what about the isis or al qaeda sympathizer that was going to plow -- use his car and run people over on the sidewalks.

looks like they are going to focus what they claim is white nationalism rise in this country. that's going to be an agenda within the social media groups. >> that's the focus. and also, you know, i would ask this question of facebook. how come, let's say i'm a business owner and i want to place a job ad on facebook. and i don't pick demographics. i just put the ad out there. it's for a particular position. let's hypothetically say i'm going to target someone who is going to be a cook. and looking for someone who is going to be an overnight security guard. how come you're going to give me results that say your ad reached x number of men or women or x number of black or white people and how come white people tend to be favored over black? and how come sometimes mental are favored over women with those ads when it wasn't targeted? steve: good question. >> i'm placing the same ads in the same region and they are allegedly going to the same people. yet some may be more skewed

to women than men and vice versa. steve: i would imagine what facebook and google are going to say later today. look, we're in the online forum business and trying to keep, you know, the freedom of expression. so people can say what they want to. you know, and they don't want to be the ones to regulate free speech. there comes a time when you cross that line and it needs to be taken down. >> which is why i would ask a third question would be this. what can we learn from europe? they have some of the most progressive regulatory type of laws when we have zero regulation. and there is stuff that's working and stuff that is not working would encroach on free speech. australia enacted a law or proposing to enact a law severely shut down free speech there. we don't want to go too far. at the same time, how come you are not quite using the tools you already have in your back pocket to help us? steve: great question. >> that would be my grill. steve: kurt. thank you very much. ainsley: jillian -- bye,

immigrants whose origin is not mexico. the president's real beef is people from central america making their way through mexico and knocking at the door in texas. because if they were from mexico, and they unmistakably are unqualified, they don't claim asylum. they have no right to get in on any part of the law. they can be sent right back over the border. but if they are from another country. they can't be cents to mexico. they have to be detained until they have a hearing. and then the president says there is probably not enough judges in the country. brian: going to work his way up the ladder now. what happens in the meantime. keep in mexico while he works his way. >> i have never seen injunction like this. not only did he stop it but ordered the people who actually filed the suit readmitted within 48 hours. brian: activist courts. judge: where is this going to go the president's favorite court of appeals the ninth circuit probably uphold it. we laugh at this it happens so frequently. eventually the supreme court.

implementing this policy officially known as migrant protection protocols. the judge ruling that the policy, quote: lacks sufficient for aliens being returned to places where they face undue risk to their lives or freedom. the ruling does not immediately take effect. given until friday to respond allowing time for them to appeal. that's likely coming in the ninth circuit of appeals. no word yet from the doj. as you mentioned, steve, the president didn't wait to weigh in on twitter. a ninth circuit judge just ruled that mexico is too dangerous for migrants. so unfair to the u.s. out of control. in all caps. the ruling comes on the same day as secretary nielsen spoke out for the first time since resigning, thanking the president. and that shakeup continues at dhs. the u.s. secret service director is the latest to be shown the door with more changes on the way, guys. in what is clearly an overhaul in the homeland security leadership ranks and as, of course, more legal challenges come about

1100 or more migrants by the way to date have been sent back to mexico to wait. we shall see exactly how this plays out. steve: all right. griff, thank you very much. cleerlg the president of the united states who is a hardliner when it comes to immigration unhappy with how things have been going so far. axios this morning has an item about the immigration policy for the administration going forward apparently accelerating the number of deportations is going to be key. and they are looking for regulation changes where they will make it more difficult for low skilled migrants to get visas. harder for them to come into the country and easier for high skill migrant employees to enter. so, behind the scenes in addition to them, you know, switching on a bunch of jobs. it sounds like there is going to be some changes in the way the administration operates immigration. ainsley: if you look at the asylum laws, it protects migrants from near certain death or persecution.

if you have a political view or your state a certain way that goes against what the country believes. in and you are persecuted for that and you are facing death because of that it doesn't apply if you live in a poor area or have economic despair or there is even gang violence in your area. >> the president says these folks are gaming the system and they are abusing our laws. steve: they know our laws. brian: over 100,000 people are going to come through this month and that is a modest prediction. if you want to be a legitimate presidential candidate and you are on the democratic side. and you are looking at this situation and think it's a manufactured crisis, i think that's a disqualifier. wouldn't it be great for somebody to stand up and say i disagree with the president on a lot of things but there is no doubt about it our border patrol who is nonpartisan is overwhelmed, our facilities, which are inadam manhattaininadamant.

overwhelmed. let's rally like we have in the past under previous presidents, like we did with president obama and president bush and come together and make some changes in the law that would send the right met sage to these central american countries. allow us to focus on helping them rather than deal with the problem they have given to us. steve: because it's the year before an election year i don't see congress do anything. everybody is dug. in the republicans are for revising the system and making it harder to come into the country and the democrats, from what we have seen are interested in making it easier. ainsley: we just learned that judge did block the so-called remain in mexico seeking asylum. okay, you have to wait in mexico process you before you come to court. judge napolitano was on the couch earlier. he said immigrants from another country have to be detained not sent back. listen to this. >> the president's real beef is people from central america making their way through mexico and knocking at the door in texas because if they were from mexico and

they are unmistakenly qualified. get in under any other part of the law they can be sent right back over the border. if they are from another country they can't be sent to mexico. they have been detained until they have a hearing. steve: in florida the legislature is considering a ban on sanctuary cities which would require local law enforcement to cooperate with ice. here is a message from the aclu that is, hey, folks, don't go to florida u. ainsley: they said breaking: we and partners have issued a travel advisory urging immigrants and people of color to use extreme caution when traveling in florida. the state is on the verge of passing a draconian anti-immigrant bill which will endanger our community. brian: florida wants a different policy for

but it's all about the eyeballs. how are you going to get noticed on your first day so that you can ultimately then raise a lot of money. if you are unfamiliar with eric swalwell who is a fixture on cable news. is he kind of one of those guys you see who talks a lot about russia collusion and how the president is terrible guy. >> the president acts on russia's behalf. >> you saw strong evidence of collusion that they just chose to ignore it and some of them worked very hard to bury it. >> we should abolish the policies that allow ice to go into communities and tear apart families. >> yes. as described by donald trump, his wall, i think is immoral. we proposed ideas like free community college. >> time to have universal coverage. brian: that's where he stood. keep in mind, i think one of the first ones was arnold schwarzenegger on with jay leno. you know what? i think i'm going to run for governor and did that whole thing with gray davis. i think since then most people are running to late night television to make their announcements.

meanwhile, what do you think about all of this? write us and tell us if eric swalwell is your man. steve: officially there are 18 for 2020. ainsley: alec baldwin kind of teasing he will get on, two. steve: he will be 20. brian: that doesn't count joxd or mayor pete. so we're at 20. steve: eventually. regarding the 18 who have declared when you look at the amount of money they were able to raise according to what they have filed. one person was the finance director for president obama's re-election campaign. and he is concerned about the amount of money that the democrats are fun fundraising for 20206789 it's not enough when you go back a couple of years to 2007 when george w. bush was lame duck president and would be running for reelections. brian: look at the numbers back in 2007. and let's look at what they have raised at that time in the first quarter.

hillary clinton had raised $26 million. barack obama 24 million. john edwards 14 million. and there was a lot of interest around them. ainsley: that former finance director for obama whose name is rufus gifford. those are his tweets even chris dodd do you remember when he ran? he was a candidate. his name pronel probably doesn't resonate with you other than dodd frank he was almost 9 million at this point. brian: compare what we are looking at now in the 2020 fund raising class. steve: got to figure two things one, there are so many names out there fracturing the donor base. also, when you think about it if you are going to give somebody a lot of money. don't you want to give it to the winner? at this point it's hard to tell who the frontrunner is going to be. bernie sanders u ultimately do you think bernie sanders can win the general? maybe they will wait a little longer. wait until 2020 before they

actually put the money in. so, who knows? what do you think? why do you think the democrats are lagging with fund raising at this point or maybe they're putting it into congressional races to keep the house or go for the senate. brian: i think it has to do with really no rock star. people know bernie sanders and joe biden are getting the most. people look around and go there is a whole lot of people who pretty much are at the same level, saying the same things, trying to out landish each other. whether it's reparations one minute or destroying private insurance of the next. or vote 16. prisoners or future prisoners vote. steve: waiting for a front runner. brian: i don't know or not interested in democrats. steve: email us what you think ought friends@foxnews.com or find us on facebook. ainsley: hand it over to jillian. jillian: start with fox news alert now. iranian lawmakers chanting death to america after president trump declared the country's revolutionary guard a terrorist group. the decision coming nearly a year after the u.s. pulled

interpreting the constitution and the law is very much in line with my father's. part of that means that sometimes there will be you will opinions or very often there will be opinions that don't necessarily go in line with what conservative public policymakers want but which are really in keeping with the original understanding of the constitution. steve: sure. while people, you know, they believe okay, there is five conservatives on the court and four liberals or whatever behind the scenes, you know, they are all justices and friends and ultimately, they have different policies. they have different viewpoints of the law that's what they interpret. >> absolutely. as many people already know, my father's best friend on the courts was justice ginsburg and i don't know how often they were actually agreeing on judicial matters but they had a lot in common outside of the court and shared a lot of time together. steve: how do you explain that friendship? >> they had, i think they had similar upspringings, they grew up in new york around the same time different burrows. similar to each other. they liked opera and they --

we both went there to listen to father jerome, an electrifying speaker. >> he was. he was very important to my father's upbringing and heard his sermons all the time. the wonderful things about this collections is you get a good understanding of what regiment to my father personally. but also the place he saw for religion and the american public square. kind of what the constitution the great wide space constitution opened for religious expression. ainsley: so beautiful because he is such an intellect and so important to our country. and loved the lord. you are the eighth of his nine children. how many grandkids? >> 39. [ laughter ] ainsley: incredible. justice clarence thomas wrote the forward and said he was blessed to know your dad for 25 years. we had countless chats more laughter than anything else. he didn't discuss his faith with my me often but his deep faith in god was implicit in everything he did. he would chide himself for not attending daily mass and

praise his wife maureen your mom for doing so. not flamboyant about his faith. >> if you talked to him about it and a question clearly important to him. most of his influence was by example. brian: sang the loudest and used to rock and you found yourselyourself rocking too in church? >> that's right. i realized i was becoming like my father when i inherented some of his mannerisms in mass. ainsley: did he have a good voice? >> he had a loud voice. it was a good voice. steve: check out the brand new book on faith lessons from an american believer. chris, -- christopher scalia, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. great to talk to you. ainsley: 29 minutes after the top of the hour. remember when aoc said this? >> until do you it, i'm the boss. ainsley: turns out nancy pelosi is the real boss and this morning there is a new twitter feud brewing we will tell you about. brian: i hope they work it out ♪ ♪

steve: we are back with a fox news alert. a decorated new york city firefighter is among four americans killed in a taliban attack in afghanistan. ainsley: kerry drew from our fox affiliate is live outside the fire department. kerry? >> brian, steven, ainsley, good morning to you. we are here outside engine 46 ladder 27. behind me you can see the flag is flying at half-staff as this firehouse remembers the life of one of its own. christopher shutman was one of four americans killed by roadside bomb in afghanistan yesterday. decorated 15-year veteran of the department and married father of three children who also serve as a u.s. marine. happened near bagram near

air bass in afghanistan. we will show you aftermath of the explosion. the device cass a car bomb detonated near a security von i have there. there were also three other service members who were wounded in this attack. a total of seven u.s. troops have been killed in afghanistan so far this year. and we have some reaction this morning from secretary of state mike pompeo tweeting his condolences saying this, quote: my heart felt prayers to the families killed near bag gram. i condemn this disgusting terrorist act. u.s. service members have sacrificed their lives in afghanistan to keep us safe and no cowardly act of terror will impede our efforts to achieve peace. we're live this morning here in the bronx. brian, ainsley, and steve i will send it back to you in the studio. steve: thank you very much. meanwhile we have news about that freshman congresswoman from new york city. alexandria ocasio-cortez, she has lit up not only congress but she has also lit up twitter. she has 3.9 million followers on her campaign

account alone. ainsley: i know. nancy pelosi, she said this quote to "u.s.a. today." she said while there are people who have a large number of twitter followers, what's important is that we have large numbers of votes on the floor of the house. brian: right. they have a new book coming out now that talks about her rise and where she came from and how joe crowley could have stopped her. evidently he had some dirt on her and he thought it wasn't going to be close. he was thinking more about leadership when it comes to his role in the house. he thought he was going to take the majority. and he got over confident and as we all know a huge upset was pulled off. >> crowley believed he had the primary locked up and he didn't want to look weak in a race that he would win by releasing this dirt u well, a couple of political reporters have a new book that comes out today it's called the hill to die on. and apparently, one piece of dirt is -- that crowley decided against was the questionable financing

practices of aoc's campaign, which apparently crowley's aides had known about before they were made public earlier this year. in fact, we heard a couple of months ago where it sounded like they established a couple of pacs to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars into an llc to evade campaign law rules. that's the problem. ainsley: those reporters from politico say crowley had plenty of fodder he could have used against ocasio-cortez. his top new york campaign operatives decided to take the punches and not hit back. it just wasn't just that crowley didn't want to go dirty. he thought it would be a sign of weakness in d.c. if he was seen in a tight race against ocasio-cortez. he was supposed to be the next democratic leader not someone who had to fight for re-election. he was supposed to take nancy pelosi job when she stepped down as leader. steve: i wonder if he had a do-over. ainsley: of course he would. he thought he was a shoe in. steve: man o man.

brian: every two years. maybe he will take another shot of it. ainsley: remember hillary clinton didn't go to certain states. apparently when he was running against ocasio-cortez he wasn't showing up for debates and campaigning because he had been in office so long. steve: he was in a big shot in d.c.. tell us what you think at friends@foxnews.com. jillian: chinese woman arrested at mar-a-lago may have had spy gear stashed inside her hotel room. the woman taking into the custody at the florida club last week. she claimed she was there for a social event. prosecutors say she was carrying a thumb drive with malicious software. cash and hidden cameras found in her room. she is due back in court next week. an officer rushes. heroic rescue caught on body camera. >> okay, come on, baby, you

[cheers] steve: and just last month idemocrats in the house bill to double the minimum wage by $15 an hour by the year 2024. new study finds those hikes may make some neighborhoods less safe. the study authors write we find robust etched that minimum wage hikes increase property crime among arrests among teenagers and young adults age 16 to 24, a population for whom minimum wages are likely to bind. that's a quote we pulled out of the "wall street journal" this week. here to explain brandon tatum director of urban

engagement former tucson police officer. good morning to you, brandon. >> good morning. steve: is there a correlation between raising the minimum wage and crime? >> yeah, there is a direct correlation u okay. when you have young folks competing for jobs, low skilled workers are getting pushed out of the workforce. young people getting pushed out of the workforce, they have nowhere to go. when you have feel a sense of disenfranchisement and worthless to your community and you are not contributing. then we see young people resort to crimes. starts out small crimes. maybe selling marijuana. retail theft and you can see those crimes increase in young people getting involved in more violent crimes, home invasions and other crimes that are more felonious. it's a direct correlation. young people need jobs. and it really keeps them out of getting in trouble. steve: but, you know, brandon, the conventional wisdom would be if the young people are the ones going to have the minimum wage jobs, if they get more per hour at their job then they would

be -- they have got more money, less likely to do those things you were talking about. >> yeah. in a utopia that sounds wonderful. but when you raise the minimum wage at some of these corporations they are going to just fire you. they are going to make their bottom line. they are going to reach their financial goals of their corporation. they will fire you and replace you with technology. it's unfortunate that they believe that if you raise the minimum wage it's going to somehow have a positive effect. we have seen this historically have a negative effect on low skilled workers. thomas sowell laid it out very succinctly when the 1930s when they did this it disenfranchised a lot of african-american people pushing them out of the workforce. if they can understand history, do research and stop trying to use propaganda. they will understanding this is probably not a good move to do because it real will he hurts the community by creating crime. disenfranchising young people. steve: here's the thing, brandon, we are 18 months away from presidential election. and when you talk about

raising the minimum wage, that is a voyeur potent political issue. >> right. and this is what they need. to say me, what the left does on a day-to-day basis they push fallacies and push things that they believe will make voters turn out and vote for them and give them power. a lot of things they are pushing neil, all of the such are not actually effective, efficient, and can even be possibly implemented without destroying america. so, i wish that they would stop being fake, phony politicians and they would actually do what's best for the country and stop pandering. let your message be what speaks to the voters and not fake propaganda. steve: all right. let's see if anybody is listening to you. brandon tatum, former officer out there in tucson. sir, thank you for joining us today from los angeles. >> thanks for having me. steve: all right. 12 minutes before the top of the hour on this tuesday. baylor students and faculty trying to shut down our next guest from speaking on campus tonight. of the topic?

on that campus? >> yeah. that's a really good question. you would think going down to a christian university in texas of all places that a speech about protecting life, marriage and gender which is what the speech is going to be all about. you would think these people would be at least open to hearing the message. we know the situation on college campuses where oftentimes opposing viewpoints are not welcome and students don't know how to deal with someone presenting an ideal that's foreign to them. there is also another angle of this which has been the case for a long time for decades that in many christian colleges, our, you know, our sort of christian in name only. and the culture on campus in many of these places is not christian at all and in fact could be really open hostile to christianity which i think is what we are seeing here. ainsley: change.org has this petition and it says stop matt walsh conservative blogger at baylor.

it has 2200 signatures as of monday. what do you think about that? >> it's unfortunate. if one people don't want to hear me speech, then they don't have to come to the event. that's one option you always have. if someone is on your campus. it's a pretty big campus. if someone is there you don't want to hear them you don't have to come. to say no we don't want him here saying these, speaking these words or expressing these ideas at all. i just think that that's pretty sad. there was also a letter, a second letter written by some students and staff saying among other things that i'm not only a threat to their emotional well-being but to their physical well-being as well. i have asked for clarification about how exactly little old me threatens their physical well-being. that hasn't been explained to me. i guess, i don't know, if you encounter an idea that you don't like, somehow it hurts you physically now i guess. ainsley: matt, shear a statement from the school. the school's president while baylor is a university that supports and encourages free

speech we have additional responsibility as a christian university in appreciate differing opinions and background in a respectful, compassionate manner that extends grace as christ did. they are saying it's hate speech. do you respect individuals that think differently than you do? >> >> i hope people will come to the speech and hear me out. i'm not under any illusions i'm going to be able to convert anyone today in a one-hour speech. i at least hope they will walk away realizing that, look, it's possible to be pro-life. it's possible to be, you know, pro-traditional marriage and these things without hating anyone. these viewpoints are not grounded in bigotry. they are grounded in something much better than that so, i hope people will at least take that away from the speech tonight. ainsley: where do they find that information if they want to go hear you speak? >> well, the event is sold out right now there is a waiting list.

what i would say if you are on campus or if you are nearby, just come it's 7:00 tonight at baylor and, you know, you might be able to get. in i would hope that people will show up. ainsley: okay, matt. thank you so much. we wish you the best tonight. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. the judge blocking the white house's plan to hold asylum seekers in mexico. the president is now firing back. . .

hearings in the united states. ainsley: griff jenkins with more on the response. reporter: that judge is richard seaborne. u.s. district judge in san francisco. he blocked administration policy. the lawsuit was brought on 11 central american asylum-seekers. nielsen was named as defendant because under her leadership they began implementing this policy, migrants protection protocols, near the port of entry in san diego. judge seaborne, says administration lacks authority and sufficient protect shuns of aliens returned to. the ruling does not immediately yay take effect. the government has time to appeal. the doj is not comments. based on previous challenges highly likely they will appeal. that would be in the ninth circuit of court of appeals. the president is not waiting to

weigh in. a ninth circuit judge ruled mexico is too dangerous for migrants. ruling comes on same day as secretary nielsen speaks out first time since resigning as shakeup at dhs continues. randolph alles is the secret service director latest to show the door. we understand there are more changes on the way, clearly overhaul in the homeland leadership security ranks. one question remains. they toughen the stance as the president says, there could be more things that are challenged in court, guys. steve: probably right about that. griff, thank you very much. "axios" we saw their morning newsletter. they're reporting according to sources in the administration, another part in addition to reorganization of the staff, looks they will going forward they have an immigration policy they accelerate number of people in this country illegally they deport them. they will make it easier for

people with high schools to get visas. make it harder for people with low skills. ainsley: shelters are overflowing. the health and human services department is looking at other cities in texas and other cities to build more shelters. dallas, houston, fort worth, san antonio, atlanta, phoenix. brian: the problem with the policy will not make restaurants happy. will not make landscapers happy. will not make farmers happy. they have to find a way to find balance, skilled, as well as unskilled. especially for people in college that want to stay here. in the 2020 race i know what you're saying we have a lot of people in that race. if you count joe biden and mayor pete all but officially in, but not technically in we're now up to 20. last night, eric swalwell who indicated he was getting in the race, made it official with stephen colbert. >> i have defended our country from the intelligence committee while democracy has been on the ropes.

i see a country in quicksand, unable to solve problems and threats from approved. unable to make life better for people here at home. i am ready to solve these problems. i'm running for president of the united states. [cheers and applause] it is official. >> now it is official. >> boy, feels booed to say that. ainsley: he is a congressman, lived most of his life as young child in iowa. they moved to california. his mom was making wedding cakes and making dolls whos. came from conservative family. they're republicans. they said one of our kids, how did he become a democrat? that is their son eric. steve: for all sorts of things, free college, you heard the list. plus collusion. put together a little montage because he is on tv a lot. >> the president acts on russia's behalf. saw strong evidence of collusion. they just chose to ignore it. some of them worked very hard to bury it.

we should abolish policies that allow i.c.e. to go into communities tear apart families. yes, as described his wall i think is immoral but we proposed ideas like free community college. time to have universal coverage. brian: if the mueller report comes out and if the mueller report indicates like the summary, eric swalwell will be hurt the most than other candidates he is doubling, tripling done the summary is not sufficient. the only other person more militant about it is adam schiff. they are so desperate for headlines, they're going to the innth degree. cory booker is sponsoring legislation for reparations. mayor pete come out no reason take on vice president of the united states, when all the vice president said about him is nice things. about his service to the country and his work as mayor. steve: i got a feeling he will get a lot of publicity.

iowa is the first caucus state. he is from iowa. he has been a fixture on cable television. there is a reason he went to a network last night because all the networks today are playing that video. we asked you about what you thought regarding this guy who is officially the 18th in for 2020 and our facebook and our email build up. ainsley: lori he wrote, get the popcorn ready to watch all the democrats turn on one another. brian: tara writes is every single democrat jumping in the race? jeez. steve: jane writes, i think it might be easier to list who is not running. what is extraordinary the first part of the sound bite montage that the president works on russia's behalf. that is really something. he is in the house intel committee. he is on the judiciary committee. he is, you know, he is on these important assignments. for him to say that, that is

really something. anyway he is running for president. if you think those ideas are great, he's your guy. brian: if you watched two saturdays ago, neil went into him. doesn't know where he came off doing that. if this mueller reports comes out, when it does come out, indicate the summary is accurate, swalwell is in trouble before he starts. ainsley: william barr will be grilled today. if you live in the state of california, how do you afford it? they're talking about taxing the moats ridiculous things out there. talking about taxing, tax on soda, tires, guns, water, prescription painkillers, car batteries, corporations, estate tax, oil and gas extraction. this is unbelievable. steve: soft drink thing could raise 3 to $4 billion. there is item i think today in the "l.a. times" talks about how they're so strapped for cash. you know in san francisco, that real picturesque street, lombard street where it is a block long and goes like that, they're

talking about on that particular street maybe turning into a to road or maybe require reservations just as a way to raise money. there was a recent poll out, not surprisingly californians feel they are overtaxed. brian: that is what happens when you have single party rule. the republican party is almost invisible in that state. you saw them get blown out of the house. they don't even have a legitimate run at governorship. that is what you get. same thing in new york. ainsley: governor is giving money from the state down to the folks in central america. giving $25 million. steve: this particular tax cycle as we come up toward april 15th is particularly hurting a lot of people in california as is the case here in new york and new jersey and connecticut because this is the first cycle where deductions for state and local taxes, so-called salt deductions are capped at 10,000. because real estate is so expensive out in california, a

lot of people spent a lot of money they will not be abe to deduct this time. and that is going to hurt. brian: yep. seems to be in a lot of blue states so -- steve: where they have a lot of high taxes. so what do you think about this, how they're considering taxes on new tires? ainsley: everyone here in new york talking about it is so expensive this year. brian: speaking about paying taxes jillian you already pay your taxes. jillian: i'm done, e-filed, good to go. steve: push the button. jillian: the accountant did. steve: you paid him to push the button. jillian: starting with a fox news alert, a man accused of plotting a terror attack near washington, d.c. he is due in court. henry wanted to drive this stolen u-haul truck through crowds of disbelievers in a hot spot in maryland. he told investigators i was keeping driving, driving, i wasn't going to stop.

stay in your country and if you want to become an american citizen, sign the guest book. file paperwork as you're supposed to through our embassy. >> exactly and i think more broadly than that foreign aid shouldn't be viewed as something philanthropic or a feel-good handout. foreign aid is something there to achieve a national security or foreign policy objective and in the case of central america to achieve security and stability in this hemisphere and this region to avoid, to mitigate issues of illegal immigration and regret fully we're seeing, as evidenced by border apprehension numbers, that is simply not working. this is the time to reevaluate what we should really be doing here. steve: the world bank did a survey. they tried to figure out the ease of doing business with different nations around the world as we look at those triangle countries we're talking about, honduras ranks 121 in the ease of doing business.

guatemala 98 and el salvador 85th. it is not like businesses are racing to those countries to open up businesses and to be involved in commerce with them because it is hard? >> regret fully that is exactly the case. at the heritage foundation we publish the index of economic freedom. rule of law, property rights, other various issues that facilitate commerce are just not there. steve: before you go, i have to ask but the ninth circuit the judge out in san francisco shut down the president of the united states, the policy where it was brokered by kirstjen nielsen couple months ago, if you are applying for asylum and you're from one of these triangle countries, you will stay in mexico. the judge says that probably breaks the rules, we can't do that. >> the ninth circuit should not be playing foreign policy, the united states, the trump administration, mexico negotiated this agreement because the mexican government facilitates and allows illegal immigration. they're taking and they're

shouldering this burden now. this is, them recognizing it. with this remain in mexico policy. i hope that the trump administration is pushing, fighting back on this. brian: we'll see what they do do. anna quintana, thanks for joining us from the heritage foundation. >> thank you. steve: 8:20 here in new york city. it's a new movie about a miraculous new story. a boy died for over 40 minutes after falling into an icy lake but he comes back to life. we'll tell you that. the producer of "break through." the real-life pastor featured in the movie is here next. ♪ spicy taco. now, his world explodes with flavor. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day all-night protection. can you imagine 24-hours without heartburn?

we're outside of engine 46, ladder 27 this morning. you can see behind me there's a flag lowered to half-staff to remember the life of fdny firefighter christopher lumman. one of four americans killed in afghanistan. he was a decorated 15 year veteran of the department married father of three children who also served as u.s. marine. authorities say this explosion happened near bagram airspace as the main u.s. air base in afghanistan. we have video of the aftermath of the explosion. what we know about this so far, authorities say the device was car bomb detonated near a security convoy. we also learned this morning that three other u.s. servicemembers were wounded in this attack, a total of seven u.s. troops have been killed in afghanistan so far this year. secretary of state mike pompeo tweeting his condolences saying quote, my heartfelt prayers to the families of the americans killed near bagram. i condemn this disgusting terrorist attack.

u.s. servicemembers sacrificed their lives in afghanistan to keep us safe. no cowardly act of terror will impede our efforts to achieve peace. a few minutes ago a truck carrying bunting arrived at the firehouse. it is fdny tradition to drape bunding outside of the fire department to remember those who died in the line of duty. we're live in the bronx. brian, steve, ainsley. send things back to you. steve: kerry drew. a heartbreaking story. ainsley: really is. steve: meanwhile a u.s. federal judge in san francisco has blocked the president's policy for those seeking asylum, ruling they don't have to wait in mexico for u.s. hearings even though mexico agreed with the policy. >> president blasted that move. he tweeted out, a ninth circuit judge just ruled mexico is too dangerous for migrants. unfair to the u.s., out of control. brian: weighing in, larry elder, radio talk show host, commentator on everything, the courts go in make it more difficult to enforce our border?

>> not too surprisingly an obama-appointed judge and many of the decisions that president trump has made have been challenged by judges who are obama-appointed judges. it will be appealed up to the supreme court. ultimately in my view the supreme court will rule the trump administration has properly interpreted the law. that people from central america who are asylum-seekers can and should wait into mexico to have their claims processed. otherwise we release them into the interior. many don't show up for the court date. and they disappear. this is absurd. judge said congress can change the law to make sure what the president is doing is legal. the onus on congress in order to do something to stop the mess. steve: larry, a year before election year. do you think congress will do something to fix it? come on. >> they will not give him a victory because they consistently said there is no crisis on the border. all of sudden they will do 180 there is a crisis? they can't do that. this will go on all the way up to scotus.

ultimately donald trump will prevail. brian: unless they work out some type of a deal. >> yeah. brian: work out something big because there is a full year. >> right. there is a crisis. when you have jeh johnson, the former dhs official under obama saying that, former border patrol chief saying there is a crisis there is a crisis. i think the american people are seeing that. ultimately there will be pressure on congress hopefully to do something about this. ainsley: larry, cory booker wants to be president. he is introducing a senate bill on slavery reparations. you're shaking your head no. why? >> slavery reparations in my opinion is the extraction of money from people who were never slave owners and given to people who were never slaves. it was just too long ago. slavery ended 150 years ago. the parallels might be the reparation paid to japanese-americans put in relocation camps in world war ii. those moneys were paid to them who were victimized or legal

heirs. same thing with respect to the holocaust. it is just too long ago. what about intermarriage? people like kamala harris. her father is in haiti, he admitted his family owned slaves. does kamala harris receive a check or pay a check? what about obama's mother. his ancestor owned slaves. that area of africa was hotpoint of slave trading on part of africans enslaved by other africans and sold to european slavers by chieftans? does he pay a check or get a check? whole thing is absolutely absurd. think tanks on the left and right said same thing how one escapes poverty, middle class. finish high school, don't have a kid before you're 20. you follow that formula you will not be poor. they say that formula does not apply to blacks or people who used to have ancestors who were slaves this is america for crying out loud.

this is the greatest country in all of human creation. you can go from something to nothing faster than any other country in the world. we ought to take advantage of opportunities we have right now instead of fighting old battles. it is divisive. even obama opposed reparations in 2016 if when he was asked about it, he thought it would be politically divisive. it is unpopular. 26% of americans support reparations. knock it off and move on. brian: al sharpton, every candidate outside of bernie sanders said they're for reparations and would support legislation. what do you say about the inequity in society and racism exists and this is way to even the playing field. >> 20 years later in 1960 the number was cut 47%. a 40 point drop in 20 years. great 20 year period of economic expansion in blacks in history. before the welfare state, race based preferences. the real problem right now are

left-wing policies that have made things worse. the welfare state has incentivized women to marry the government, allow men to abandon their moral and financial responsibility. obama said a kid without a father is nine times more likely to be poor, five times likely to drop out of school and four times more likely to end up in jail. during savory a black kid more likely to be born under a roof with biological mother and biological father today. that is the problem. let's deal with that. steve: larry elder joins us from l.a. not a fan of cory booker -- >> outside of that i don't have very much thoughtses about the issue. brian: you're our morning person. jillian, you're a morning person. jillian: depends on the day. let's start with this story. a police officer dragged by a driver trying to escape a traffic stop. the heart-stopping moments caught on dash-cam a. [engine noise]

look at that the officer dragged several feet after pulling the man over for drives under the influence. their struggle spilling on to the side of the road until officers pulled them apart and arrest the suspect. the officer isn't seriously hurt. a woman walks right up to a thin blue line flag and rips it down. look at that, surveillance video near oakland, california. people are looking for that woman and another suspect who they say damaged and stole the flags from a local business. the thin blue line flag honors officers to lost their lives in the line of duty. this is scary story, a uber driver who allegedly pulled double duty as a thief is arrested for burglary. jackie wilson is accused of dropping passengers off at the san francisco airport before returning to their air bmb to rip them off. after being scared away by a security system, they police

tracked him down by using information from the uber app. that is scary. something you don't really think about. steve: thanks to the ring doorbell this is video. jillian: take uber to the airport. then i'm gone. steve: janice deans joins us 20 minutes before the top of the hour from the streets of new york city. janice: what are your names. >> alan that. >> jason florida. >> jason florida. janice: very nice what am i going to do right now? >> give us a pollen county. ainsley: by claratin. look at it right now, the moment you've all been waiting for, here it is if you live in nashville the pollen count is high today. you need claratin. dallas, texas, same thing. that time of year. beautiful day in new york. mostly sunny my friend, right? thank you for coming. say hi to steve, ainsley and brian. steve: thank you very much. ainsley: thanks for being here. steve: indeed. high all week in those towns.

some things are just too good to be true. just like you, i thought that reverse mortgages had to have some kind of catch. just a way for the banks to get your house right? well, then i did some homework and i found out it's not any of that. it's not another way for the bank to get your house. and it's also not too good to be true. a reverse mortgage loan is a simple idea, really. you turn your home's equity into cash, and you pay it back when you leave the house. most people use the money to pay off their existing mortgage, or pay some bills, cover medical costs even update their home. and, just as importantly, you still own your home, and you make no monthly mortgage payments. it's a loan designed just for older americans and it's helped hundreds of thousands to live a more stable, secure retirement and stay in the home they love.

booming despite more states legalizing marijuana. traffickers shipping to pots to states where it is illegal to buy and it is big money. joining us with more is president of smart approaches to marijuana. kevin, what do we know in studying states that legalized, first and foremost, colorado and oregon. >> drug dealers love legalization. brian: why? >> they get to undercut the legal price. the government in all wisdom taxes marijuana which it would pay for schools. by the way it is not paying for any of that. because tax revenue is pennies. drug dealers will not go to dental school. they diversify, lower prices and still make a hefty profit. brian: crime rate gone up faster 11% in those states that legalized. >> crime rate has gone up. gavin newsom in california loves marijuana and ran on it, sending in the national guard, if you can believe it, called on trump's national guard to come into the california for i will lee grows. they're everywhere.

destroying water supply, huge energy environmental concern, public lands, really big issue. brian: if you're allowed to grow it in these states, it goes to other states because there is a problem because it is federally illegal but statewise in certain states it is legal. >> huge problem. look it, i don't really believe in states rights for marijuana because it affect the other states. colorado growing five more times marijuana they can legally consume, that gets exported to idaho, wyoming. they didn't vote for this. this is not states rights. we're getting all the extra marijuana. brian: you're notices states pushing back after watching what is happening in colorado. i know in long island, from new york city, they're going crazy, they don't want any part of this. >> most people are shocked most localities in legal states banned marijuana grows. they don't want marijuana stores. i started this group with patrick kennedy, teddy kennedy's son, pretty well-known democrat. we're pushing back against the

legalization of marijuana because it is hyper commercialized. today's pot is not woodstock weed, it is 30 times stronger in gummy bears and can dis. designed to hook kids. gangs love it. foreign cartels coming to infiltrate the heel market. brian: you believe it is gateway drug. >> for some people it is. nobody used heroin, only 20% of people used heroin didn't use marijuana first. for some people marijuana opens that pathway. we defeated in every state. brian: kevin, smart approaches to marijuana. appreciate you doing hard work. coming up straight ahead. you know about the pence family beloved pet bunny, marlon bundo. they're releasing a new book about his tour of nation's capitol. second lady karen pence and her daughter charlotte is here. talk to bill hemmer to see what is on his show. >> 40 minutes away we hear bill barr speak first time publicly

♪ ainsley: last year the beloved pet bunny of america's second family gave us an inside look into the typical day of vice president mike pence. steve: now that bunny, marlon bundo's curiosity is taking him on a hopping tour of our nation's capitol, learning about the greatness of america all along the way. brian: it is all documented in the new book, "marlon bundo's day at the nation's capitol." it is out today.

ainsley: joining us second lady and illustrator, karen pence, author and second daughter, charlotte pence. thanks for being with us. another book before easter. how appropriate. steve: marlon bundo wound up with a full access pass in washington, d.c. you illustrate him. he is on the bench at supreme court. he is on top of the u.s. constitution at the national archives, that bunny can go anywhere. >> we had a lot of fun doing it. we went around d.c. with a little stuffed marlon planning it out and took pictures with him in different places to figure out what would make sense is. he didn't actually go into the constitution. steve: did people go, hey, what are you doing with that? >> we had a funny story because we were at lincoln memorial, a little boy went over to decide to pick it up and said that is my bunny. brian: with the secret service? >> they let him have it. ainsley: i love books like this. i want hayden to experience

animals, fun, this is such is a teaching tool. you learn about all the different places in washington, d.c. tell us about the pages, all the different places you take the bunny. >> we really wanted to teach kids about a lot of the their rights and freedoms that we have in this country. to be able to do it through the lens of the pledge of allegiance was really fun and so marlon is kind of confused in the beginning of the book about words in the pledge allegiance where some kids might as well. so he goes around d.c. to learn about all the liberties we hold dear. brian: where do you go? >> he went to the supreme court. he went to the national cathedral. he went to the white house, the capitol. but then he also went to the kennedy center. he went to the library of congress you can learn about different views going to the arts or reading about other things. so it is, then he ends up, charlotte, you want to tell where he ends up? >> at the end he ends at

arlington national cemetery because the book is dedicated to members of the military and their families. we have them to thank for all the rights and liberties that we have. he kind of understands they're the ones that really sacrificed so we can enjoy the freedoms. steve: the book starts where you live at the naval a server to high above northwest washington, d.c. explain for folks where the nickname marlon bundo came from? >> yeah that was me. i got marlon in college and i actually got him for a film project. it was kind of a joke on marlon brando since he was going to be an actor in my film. so that -- steve: how long in college did you have the rabbit? >> had him couple years in college. we think he is five or six years old. ainsley: in your dorm room? >> got him on craigslist. 20 bucks. steve: are they still allowed to advertise rabbits on craigslist? >> i don't know.

this guy did. brian: governor's mansion, congressman, going back and forth to washington, indiana, do you worry this next generation not understanding our history, where we came from? you're a teacher by trade. not in the curriculum? >> that is one of the reasons it was charlotte's idea to make all the marlon bundo books educational, she felt like especially the first book, the day in the life of the vice president we didn't even know all the duties the vice president had when we came into this role. this one started, he was going to visit the monuments. we thought make it educational, let's talk about some of the freedoms and how our country was started. ainsley: you're giving some money to charity too, right? >> we are. right. ainsley: tell us about the charities you selected? >> i chose 821 same one i did for the last marlon book. it is an organization that fights human trafficking and also helps survivors get back on their feet, get back into the world after they're rescued.

>> i'm doing a couple of therapy programs for children. steve: that's great. what were some of the vice-presidential duties before you actually started doing them in your family that you didn't realize? >> well i think we knew that you know, he was president of the senate but i think the duties that that entails and you know, the tie-breaking votes and how much time he would actually spend over at the senate was probably one of them. steve: more than he thought? >> more than he thought. steve: well, if he is over there he is not tending to marlon bundo. check out the new book, comes out today, a day in the nation's capitol. ainsley: do you have anymore coming out? i know it's a series? >> we have a christmas one. >> thank you. brian: back in a moment. ♪ when did you see the sign?
