7:02 am
washington, not even top of mind congress of the united states. >> in part it is, it depends how i want to show you something and what mueller has revealed on that's remarkable. rabid you are. some are going to say we want a fox poll just out, that looks at woman and/or a person of color, the issues dominating voter the obstruction of justice issue, that of course, involves concerns, your concerns, right but when you look at the voters the president's own -- to the and how they view candidates now. look at that name mueller. do you see it anywhere? i can save you the trouble it's american people. necessarily-- not in the top five, 10, not in >> the attorney general is set 84% would support a candidate to testify before the who us an the top 15 or 20 issues regardless whether they're a person of color or a woman. americans are concerned about and senate judiciary committees immigration is the economy is, neil: they just want to see over on may 1st and 2nd. health care, and where that will neil: thank you, ellison. go, they are all of the dominat donald trump-- >> it's not just that they want do democrats then make a case ing concerns. not a to beat donald trump. for obstruction of justice. they're not willing to have some who better that ask than the what happened with that report plastic candidate who they don't former u.s. assistant attorney believe in. and where it goes, right now. the beauty of some of the andrew mccarthy. candidates running is they come so what to make of this right off authentic, they come off different lawyers can interpret now? welcome i'm neil cavuto let's genuine and records to back that get to it with independent women up. differently, but stepping back 's forum, finally get to from it is trying to get bob the message is pretty see you in the flesh, and we've consistent. >> the bad thing is going to be if bernie sanders ends up mueller fired an act of getting the nomination, it's also got democratic strategist obstruction of justice? going to put basically socialism scott levinsohn and so patrice, that alone, whether you succeeded or not, whether in versus capitalism on the table that was a bit of a surprise, i this case, and again, if counsel and that's a scary deal, even if you like bernie sanders. would see it maybe in the top didn't follow through, didn't do >> you can criticize bernie five, but nowhere near. what did you make of it? it? >> it's not, neil. sanders. >> he's authentic and sin veer. >> unless you live in side of although, there's going to be a >> he's destigmatized the word d.c. or washington or new york debate, i think, about what the city most people don't care socialism in our country.
7:03 am
about the mueller report maybe traditional legal view of so we can actually begin to have they care about the big takeaway obstruction is, what the justice a discussion outside of the but they care about the bread soviet model. that's a good thing. and butter issues. neil: all right. we shall see. neil: we had fancy graphics department's former view or time guys, thank you very, very much. packages and music. held view of obstruction is, and >> we've heard it for the past two years but still people care and what to do about north korea the sweeping, more expansive about are they able to put food view that you can see in the right now. the north korean leader is mueller report. on theirable can they leave so, the traditional justice their job, do they get a bigger suddenly cozying up with the tax refund that's probably a department view, which i think bigger issue so i'm not is best stated in the memo that russians and he doesn't like surprised when you see the results but they also care about bill barr, before he was mike pompeo, and he couldn't immigration and that's important for the president as he's want to meet with him again. thinking about his 2020 run. attorney general wrote in june and the president does like mike of 2018, and submitted neil: that's supposedly now the pompeo and he says there are no number one issue scott and one of the things we've been seeing unsolicited to the justice department, he wasn't in the is a lot of prominent democrats third summit unless you see justice department at the time, but, of course, he's a former concessions from the guy on the saying all right, we can differ attorney general and a former over what defines a crisis but right. in case you're listening on the head of the office of legal what's happening at the border is a big deal. counsel at the justice radio, that would be kim jong-un. what's happening here? >> i actually think what the department and he relied heavily and it really shows. with all that usaa offers poll shows as you dig under the on those and legal precedents. why go with anybody else? surface is how divided the we know their rates are good, nation is on issues like that. what he said is, and i think we know that they're i agree with patrice, what this is right, that a president always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and people care about is bread and can be cited for obstruction if i should have changed a long time ago. butter issues but if you look at he commits the usual traditional it was funny because when we would call the democratic cross-tabs on another insurance company, that poll, you'll see only 7% of kind of obstructive acts like hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" democrats care about immigration tampering with witnesses, we're the webber family. as their top issue. tampering with evidence, but if we're the tenney's
7:04 am
they care about healthcare. we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. a president is exercising his they care about the economy, so ♪ constitutional authority under get your usaa auto insurance quote today. those numbers -- neil: that used to be at 1%. >> well what i see is that on article two of the constitution, the republican side it's almost like issuing a pardon, weighing 75%. i also see that on border in on whether someone should be closing, it's only 40%. prosecuted, pardoning a unhappy with the direction of the nation, 40%. subordinate, those are those are bad numbers for the constitutional prerogatives of president, neil. the president and they cannot be neil: nevertheless, with nowhere there is this mueller probe and grist for a federal prosecution to bring an obstruction charge. report so is it risky to pursue for whatever passions drive the the power-- >> does that include, you know, left, certainly to get to the bottom of it and even on the right, to investigate how the constitutionally, we didn't have investigation started in the first place. such a structure in place at the >> neil you're absolutely right this is a really slippery slope time they formed our constitution, could a president for the democrats, because this fire, you know, someone let's is an issue that a lot of people say like mueller, and be within good, bad or ugly have put his rights? behind them now. people can look at motives and the rest, but first of all, it the mueller report has been released and now they are never happened, it didn't dissecting it but it's pretty much a free and clear to focus happen. >> right. neil: but that, if he had, would on this. >> it is definitively not free it have been a big deal? and clear. >> let me tell you something if >> of course would have been a the democrats seriously focus on big deal, neil. anates this for 2020 it's a losing battle because if you're seeing
7:05 am
polls formation, this is what presidential excess and presidential abuse of power? builds the wto this. as our constitutional system is laid out, it's not like the >> what's happened to this president can do this stuff and point is we've seen the whole just get away with it. framing of the mueller report in the issue is, who regulates it. the context of the findings of the report which is appropriate, the way the constitution is laid but what you see on the out, the power is in congress to obstruction side is almost an impeach the president if he abuses his power. approach to what -- but if the president is >> but -- ostensibly, legitimately neil: it's a little early for that. carrying out his article 2 >> but it's this fear of what responsibilities, it's not the could be found. place for a subordinate who knows more than donald trump neil: i think you're saying that executive official like a you're right and there's more federal prosecutor to second that people want to get into guess the chief executive. here but if i'm reading this so it's not grist for a federal correctly, patrice, i don't know prosecution, but of course, like if it changes any minds of the any power, it could be abused. right or the left. i think they're stuck in their and if it's an n i -- abused, ty positions they won't change their positions or views there's something in that report for everybody to latch on to but there's something in this poll can if it's abusive enough. for politicians to pay attention to. >> there should be when you look at other polling like merit s polling recently there was no mandate around whether congress should continue to neil: if people in the white house argue, he's cooperative investigate. i think it was like 45% and with the investigation, provided
7:06 am
those broke down things. thousands of pages worth of >> and i 100% agree with you information, what they needed, patrice. written answers, no verbal >> but i think the challenge is if democrats do pursue answers to bob mueller and his investigation republicans to team, but allowed the some extent and they're still cooperation of everyone around not able to find anything even him at the white house to participate to the point that it after an independent got exasperating, and don investigation has found nothing mcgann, and the president has then you have not -- neil: by the way, i would apply been furious reading what he that to republicans as well, wrote and said. they pursue whatever passions >> right. neil: but that shows, the white they have to find out how this started and they're legitimately house says, ample cooperation concerned just as democrats are generally concerned to scott's point about details in this report but to keep pushing tells and by either special counsels or the like, what do you say? you that you are ignoring what are bigger concerns. >> that's right, neil. >> well, you know, neil that's the president also had the power to shut down the investigation, a great point and another thing he never did. he could have asserted executive is i come in with the finance part of this. if you're going to be looking at privilege and attorney-client raising money for 2020, how much privilege to keep this money do you think you can information from mueller and he really raise when your issue is didn't. when a prosecutor does an assessment of the case, he looks 24 front and center of the at the evident on both side. mueller report and dissecting that versus immigration build a he so, there is evidence that's laid out in mueller's report wall, we're going to get that cuts against the president everybody. >> just issues we're talking being cooperative with the about on whether to proceed with investigation. mueller have to do with and then there's immense
7:07 am
political decisions. the fact is the investigation laid it on the floor of the evidence of cooperation as congress, to take the next step you've just mentioned. and look further. and the problem for a prosecutor that's their -- thinking about a case is corrupt neil: what do you read both intent is an essential element steny hoyer and nancy pelosi, of an impeachment charge, which just be careful here, just be means a prosecutor would have to >> welcome back. careful. >> we should look at that. prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. everybody. i think the assessment was that, secretary of state. mike pompeo says he's still in neil: but they're not, right? while there's evidence on both don't you worry it gets too charge even after north korea rabid? >> across our parties certainly sides, a prosecutor would never said it would never negotiate with him and doesn't want to in there's a range of ways to deal be able to establish corrupt the future. he is the secretary of state and with all of the information that intent beyond a reasonable doubt we're getting hit with, and given the immense amount of you'll see that range over the and that won't change. next several months, but that cooperation that the president north korea did indeed have a doesn't change the obligation. weapons test, not a missile gave. neil: all right. andrew mccarthy, thank you very neil: let me ask you as a launch, but a weapons test that could technically lead to other prominent democrat that one of much. always enjoy the help figuring the things that came through and things, that's the fear, anyway. i was hearing a couple of pretty this stuff out. amid talks that kim jong-un is high-ranking democrats talking >> thank you. neil: back to elizabeth warren about the fact that this doesn't campaigning in new hampshire. change my mind about the she's gone on record as saying she had anything to say and do cozying up to the russians. suspicions around donald trump's election, i thought wow, i about it, ignoring this conduct let's get this from general jack thought we would put that one to would inflict great and lasting keane. what do you make of these bed at least. >> well it doesn't because you damage. she is recommending the developments? can't deny the fact that he president of the united states it sounds like the north koreans be impeached. are agitating or want to agitate i wonder what a fellow asked -- neil: wait a minute, let me ask back to us. you and i've asked every >> everything the north koreans prominent democrat. do you think donald trump was congressional resident of her do is calculated and we've seen state of massachusetts thinks of the duly and genuinely and that. i'm talking about democratic that for a number of years. what's taking place now is that
7:08 am
congressman steven lynch, also legitimately elected president the back drop of what actually of the united states? of massachusetts. congressman, thank you for >> that's a tough question. happened to kim jong-un is a major miscalculation on his neil: it's not really tough. coming. >> you're welcome. >> yeah it is a tough question. good to be with you, neil. part. he came home from hanoi without neil: good to have you. do you agree with senator sanction relief and he thought neil: well then people are going warren, he's got to be by putting on the table what to -- >> and i do believe that the impeached? >> i would like to see the full they had done in the past with previous administrations, he president xied the foreign report, actually. would get a sanction relief. government to be involved in the what's he up to now? election. and i think if we say we've neil: no he did not ask the already decided he should be well, i think he's doing some foreign government. i'm just saying -- modest provocations here, >> yes, he did. impeached, i think it under testing the low yield anti-tank he asked the foreign government. neil: patrice if that still mines our argument that we hangs out there, then this will should see the full report. weapon, to remind us that the go back to what it was i would like to see some of the testing freeze is still on, but originally. we don't accept this guy. unredacted-- some of the redacted portions he could resume ballistic >> well that's true and it's before we make a final judgment. meant to undermine every effort testing or nuclear testing, neil: all right. that's number one. that's been made on the economic we have some minor audio issues front on the regulatory front, with you, congressman, i hope we secondly, as you point out, he's that's occurred. i think the challenge and i can address those. attacking our national security but there's apparently a battle think democrats should think team. very carefully about this, if within the democratic party, he attacked secretary pompeo, and doesn't want him in the you're not able to put forward maybe that's overstating it, your own agenda, and govern on sir, that some want to go slow negotiations. on this, others are advocating he attacked ambassador bolton leading at least in the house, then i think that it's going to just recently within the last 24 there are more important issues be very difficult for democrats to worry about, like the to run in 2020 on anything other hours, saying he's -- what's economy. we showed a poll at the than, you know -- neil: they aren't going to do beginning of the show, immigration, the economy, health that about? the electoral college. >> i'm sorry you can not defy care, dominate the issues that he's trying to create a division voters are most concerned about, the fact that when you have among our national security team and not this. what do you think of that? and weaken it.
7:09 am
3 million votes more than the he's going way out of his way to president that that presidency >> well, there is an argument to comes into question. avoid criticism of the >> yeah, but the deal is -- be made that -- that the voters president. what kim jong-un wants again is neil: well wait a minute so you a summit with the president. ignore the electoral college? i'll bet anything that he still on the political end would like >> no, you asked -- to see us focus on other issues, believes in his mind that he can neil: no, no, that's my point whether it be the economy or, get sanction relief from this you ignore the electoral college president. you know, you name it. that's where he -- that's where >> no, i don't ignore. he's heading. some of the american people are neil: all right, as the the president raises question. tired of this. secretary of state, we're told neil: we have a lot more of they've been waiting for this when they left in hanoi, it was these guys coming back i would report. be remiss if i didn't tell you now they've got it and they want really inspired by mike pompeo what's going on, right now as we us to move on, but i think we who said, you know, they're not speak in the city of paris, still have a job to do, that i budging on this. i don't know how these back right now, the yellow vest happen to believe that there reports are, in terms of the protests are en ensuing remember were significant elements of accuracy, but that that is what obstruction of justice on the they had taken a couple weeks got back to kim jong-un and that part of the president and i off and then of course came to this guy plants seeds in the would like to delve into that notre dame cathedral fire and and do due diligence on it, and president's head and the president himself seemed to be that fire had its own determine whether or not that controversies in the city of actually happened. dissatisfied with the lack of lights a lot of people ticked neil: you know, there's been progress in general. off already more than $1 billion talk of a steny hoyer kind of why would the president be open has been pledged to refurbish echoed what you're saying, to a third summit? congressman, that obviously, the cathedral when a lot of don't ignore this, but don't get >> well, i think in principle he folks particularly those is, he believes that protesting say it should be used lopsidedly focused on this. negotiations are always better i'm paraphrasing here. than standoff. to help average frenchmen. here is where the team is, but i think that's the gist of we'll have more after this. it. really. they're not going to go into a nancy pelosi earlier in the week talked about how democrats have third summit without preparation to pound these kitchen stable --
7:10 am
at lower levels and stress test the north korean's position so so, you're open all day, that's what 24/7 means, sugar. that they actually put a weapon table issues. kind of like how you get 24/7 access and technically it can be done, on the table in terms of to licensed agents with geico. walk and chew gum at the same hmm? yeah, you just go online, time. i've found covering congress for denuclearization, either missiles or nuclear weapons. many years, between the or give them a call anytime. something they have not done to you don't say. republicans and democrats, you date, neil, and that's what the yep. now what will it take to get 24/7 access guys can't do that. so do you worry that this goes administration wants to see, to that lemon meringue pie? too far and just when your because we, truth be known, we haven't made progress on the pie! party's putting together 2020 pie's coming! campaign themes, you get essential core issue and that is derailed and you lose it? giving up nuclear weapons and that's what it takes, baby. >> well, i think-- geico®. great service from licensed agents, 24/7. i think what you're saying in giving up ballistic missiles and that's what they want to see, a part is that do we want-- sign of faith that there really do democrats want the is a decision here on north impeachment process to become the proxy for the election? korea's part to denuclearize. we've got the rhetoric, but we and i don't think we i don't think we do, because at don't have the action and they'll want to do that at a the end of the day, whatever lower level before the summit so happened is going to end up in the leaders go into a summit the senate. again, we're not going to have i don't think we have the votes the outcome as last time. there for an impeachment and if neil: do you think he's stringing us along though? the president ends up at the end >> i think that's truth. of the day, you know, successful he'll likely give up some in resisting impeachment, that capability because the economic sanctions are certainly, that could be interpreted by the certainly hurting him and paying a cost for it.
7:11 am
american people as, you know, he's trying to show his people because he's been active with vindication and somehow that he his military in the last few deserves reelection, and so, the days that, you know, national security is strong, military talk will be about whether he preparedness is strong and of should be impeached or not course, what's happening is the people are suffering, and he versus an election that looks at wants them to know he's standing his whole record of four years strong against the united and a clear look at the states, that he intends to get sank relief. democratic candidate, whoever that is, the nominee. he's playing a hand here that he's played before, certainly. so, i would much rather have the we've got to go with a dose of wider debate than just have a ske skepticism about what his final proxy decision on impeachment intent is. neil: general, thank you. decide who the next president have a happy easter, my friend. shall be. neil: finally, sir, i've talked >> happy easter to you. with many of your democratic colleagues and i'll ask you as well. do you think now, with this neil: and herman cain, fighting mueller report out of the way, the good fight to get on the and i know there are still some issues to address your point, federal reserve board even though he might not have the votes after this. ccident forgs that donald trump was the dually they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. legitimately elected president of the united states? are you in good hands? >> oh, i believe whatever
7:12 am
interference that the russians brought didn't change the vote. but we're going to have another election in 2020 and i'd like to see us have all the resiliency and protections for that process so that we don't end up back in the same spot with foreign interference, whether it's korea, north korea or russia or china hacking the elections again. neil: congressman, that's a very fair and balanced view of things. thank you very much. very good seeing you on a saturday. be well. >> thank you, neil. neil: we told you about the fox poll that's out that shows there are a lot of issues dominating voters' attention and not one of them for the time being seems to be this mueller report. what frank luntz reads into that after this. staying at hampton for a work trip.

7:17 am
issue you're saying and so because of that, that does not little lower than what one would while. my concern is herman cain's meet the definition of interest in the gold standard. how antiquated is that. obstruction? >> well, first of all, i don't are we going back to the bartter expect with as well as the think that even if he had fired economy is doing. an example, we did a focus group system as well. neil: steve moore he flipped a week ago and i asked people to robert mueller that that had been carried through that that would constitute obstruction, give me a word to describe flipped on that and the gold right? so i'm just talking about the standard, but-- act that seems to have really congress. >> not only antiquated, but my favorite response,erson two handcuffs the fed in terms of galvanized everyone's attention and energy. monetary policy and tied to the all he wanted to fire the i said yes. u.s. dollar. special counsel. the president had the authority shut up. the u.s. dollar is not controlled by the federal to do that. if he had been -- i don't mean to be disrespectful reserve. yes, a little bit by interest neil: did bill clinton have the to members of congress watching, rates, but you have global authority to fire you? fix the economy, health care, factors as well. and shu up about the other if an economy is doing better >> only with good cause under stuff and i don't think that than you or worse than others, washington hears that. neil: does that apply to that moves the u.s. dollar. the statute. so it's not all in the hands of see, i was appointed and republicans as well, who want an everybody comes back to this i the federal reserve. investigation to start on how neil: and you can make a good was appointed under under the this investigation started? argument that there >> yes, it does, neil. statute by three judges whereas they've had enough. robert mueller was of course we did that with the guy running pointed by the attorney general and he's an officer of the they're looking for quality of the federal reserve right now. life and standard of living justice department that's why he has to comply with the solutions. they know that the country is he was an economist by trading, better off today than it was a department policies. few years ago, but they want to but had a different view of the neil: john dean, he quibbled make sure that it continues for world and the president later with this no obstruction thing says he regrets that choice. the next coming years. ken saying if you endeavor to you know, it's been about ten having said that, what is wrong with mixing it up, the type of obstruct and there is as much years since we were fully in a evidence here of this endeavor, people you have serving on the
7:18 am
you violated the obstruction recession and the public wants fed? >> i don't think there's this economic resurgence to anything wrong at all with it. statute. now i'm not a lawyer and i know continue and they don't believe i like herman cain as a yelling about politics or you're an extremely good one so selection and the reason for partisanship is going to help that, he comes from a different obviously people interpret this anybody anywhere. background. he was ceo of godfather pizza. whole obstruction thing neil: you know what's differently and clearly the mueller folks could not interesting? he's had a corporate career. determine one way or the other and this is not a red or blue or i think they need some people conservative or liberal argument on this issue so shouldn't it be for who actually understand a dead issue or is it a dead strong. the markets have been off the business. charts and that alone and the neil: 30 years in fast food, issue? >> well it may not be a dead didn't gain a pound. strength that ensued with that's amazing there. issue politically and it should unemployment levels for >> that is amazing. i think he's the type of guy who be illegally and why is that? virtually every magic that is because bill barr and demographic group in this can bring a different train of rod rosenstein consulted widely country at record lows and yet, the president could be in for within the department of justice the fight of his life here to i had the privilege of serving get reelected and i'm wondering thought to the fed and i think they need it. two tours of duty there so i why that is. it could be the mueller but he's run for president and-- know what that process was like. hangover, it could be the bill barr is not just sitting >> and allegations of abuse and president's personal issues and all of that, we don't know the around what do i think? tweets. i don't know. he's consulting with the experts but do you? >> yeah, i know a little of this skinny or truth on that, but the and with all due respect, robert mueller and his staff, they have and i appreciate the question #metoo movement. and you and i have not seen each and leaving that aside, i would other through tv in some time. a view obviously of the it's great to see you again wonder, especially when you obstruction criminal statute, look, you could make an argument because of that question. and they're wrong. it is the way the president i respect them but they're just these days, the president absolutely wrong, under the communicates. too often he can be his own worst enemy. it is the way the media treats jawboning the federal reserve. supreme court's very, shall i he was right about the fed them. overdoing the hikes, right? they're never going to give him say, appropriately narrow a break, never going to >> i think the market
7:19 am
construction of what constitutes acknowledge the successes that overreacted because the punch he has. bowl got taken away and they're the crime of obstruction, so it's too often a lack of focus so hooked on low interest rate sometimes we tell you about so that you have the house obstruction in a very general policy. common every day sense, but what saying one thing, the senate my gosh, rising costs with labor something else and the president and now interest rates going up, we're really talking about here saying something completely that's going to tank the market, is did the president of the different. but i think it's important to united states commit crimes and when you combine all three of those, he really should be at note that actually president he did not, as i see it about a 55% approval rating, but trump wants herman cain to be on this, but wants a stronger including with all of the he's not. dollar. obstructive acts i think bill and this is one of the he advocated that in his op-ed. barr's judgment, rod rosenstein challenges that the white house is probably considering, that the democrats are actually >> weaker dollar. 's judgments was making it easy for him by exactly right. >> trump wants a weaker dollar. neil: what do you get then from if thinking it kind of goes the cooperation issue? insisting on the partisanship, against what he wants and i a lot of people have been saying the calls that think it's also important to oh, the president was fighting note that herman cain actually this tooth and nail but then i was part of the federal reserve read details providing thousands sometime 1995-1996 in kansas of pages worth of documents and senator warren did, impeachment virtually providing everyone in even after there's no grounds city. so, i think the interesting thing is we need to get to and around him an opportunity to speak to mueller including 30 for it. the democrats are foolish in equilibrium where the fed isn't what they're doing. actually going into markets and it's not what the american trying to distort them. hours of back and forth with the people want. they should try-- mueller team, so it looked like neil: you're right, once then >> and this president fought a he was despite the times, he they could be grabbing defeat lot whoever he appoints. from the jaws of victory. would get furious about just a probe himself he found unfair. >> in 2002, how they behaved in he wasn't blocking it in that enron. >> congress didn't get through in 2009-2010 after obama was his nominees, he's fought in sense, so is that a fair elected, they should have done ever fashion. criticism? neil: is this driven by contempt >> it's a huge point that in well. they get too extreme, too loud of the president?
7:20 am
>> and the economists for the and end up hurting themselves in federal reserve boards, those contrast to bill clinton and in the election. contrast to richard nixon, in nominations were expired neil: frank luntz, i always basically because they couldn't learn something. get through the senate. contrast to barack obama, the yes, there's a lot of politics thank you very, very much. president not only did not at play bus i would say perman don't make yourself a stranger. invoke executive privilege, he cain he's done this before. frank luntz reads the political he's abouten on the kansas city affirmatively authorized don mcgahn to just be transparent. landscape unlike anyone i know. fed. joe is jumping in for the third it's not like he doesn't have i'm surprised that the president the experience. time, but is this time the i think there's a lot of allowed that, but he did, and charm? so with xfinity mobile that suggests to me again, this politics. >> the president like herman cain now and says he's not doing overall intent, he hated the the bidding for president trump. investigation. he thought it was terrible for as soon as he disagrees with the the country, terrible for his president there's no question that the president is going to presidency, and i happen to go after him. >> do love the flat tax that think that he's right, that is we could have gone on a totally different direction, used a herman cain it. different meccas you know, i've >> 9%. talked about why didn't we use neil: nine, nine, nine. if we wanted to determine always about you. whether there was collusion or >> and how patriotic. not use a 9/11 commission and have public testimony so we're not waiting for two years to see neil: we'll always have the need what robert mueller found for accountants. through the use of the grand and going to paris, the riots, jury. there are advantages to that but the big disadvantages to all of so-called yellow vest protests, the secrecy all of this buildup, men and women don't like the but if the president is going to allow this openness, why didn't

7:26 am
go slow. what do you make of that? >> well i think they understand in 1999. the conclusions were pretty definitive, no collusion, no dismissed it as fireworks or obstruction and the trump construction noise. white house cooperated and from the moment i realized what was happening was real, it completely they didn't exercise any privileges so i think they wasn't actually until i saw the understand pretty clear cut what perpetrators that i accepted the findings were. what was happening was real, but i completely disassociated. neil: well it's not super clear cut on the obstruction it was so i've always been able to recall everything that happened kind of like a jump ball but if that day. they were going to pursue it's almost like i was watching something they would have said it on television. that but where does this put it i wasn't present in my own body. do you think congressman? >> well hopefully the democrats will want to move on and not it was very surreal experience that took me many, many years to continue all of the investigations. i don't think that's the case process and heal from. neil: you had a lot of pain and based on the fact that just two things, and addictions to get weeks ago you had the ways and means chairman he wants six through yourself after this, and years with the president's tax you've since then tried to turn returns you have the oversight this tragedy around for other chairman saying he wants 10 kids and families who deal with this and so much more. tell me a little about that. years of the business record and jerry nadler with 81 letters so >> yeah, i mean, i think the i don't think they will stop hardest part for communities, which is unfortunate for the country and what we need to do injured survivors, families of is move on and address the those that were lost and injured immigration issue and frankly is the years that come next, when it comes to this russia issue what we need to do is find because it's really, really out how it started in the first difficult to heal this emotional
7:27 am
place. the wrong premise, the faulty pain and trauma. premise, the false premise this so for me i was prescribed whole thing started on with the medications for my physical injury and immediately i became dossier and everything else that does need to be investigated drawn to those medications because of how they improved the because you can't have the fbi using one party's opposition research document, to launch an underlying symptoms of emotional pain and that led to a investigation and tie on the other parties campaign and we debilitating addiction that know that took place and we do spanned my 20's. need to get to the bottom of the core of my work is helping that because it's never supposed to happen. in communities and neil: all right, be that as it may and i know they are just administrators and legislators how we can effectively heal this polls and congressman there is a poll out of average voters emotional pain and eradicate across the country, for whom the mueller thing was a non-event from future generations. and is not even on the list of neil: did you ever any survivors top 5 or 10 concerns, 15 or even guilty. 20 concerns, immigration the we've learned from those in economy, healthcare, those florida committeeing suicide after experiencing what they dominate this, what do you make went through and even the case of that and whether there's of a dad in connecticut who los great pair el even for his four-year-old in a shooting republicans to pursue their own there, the same thing. how do you help people with investigations of an investigation? that? >> yeah, i mean, i think >> well certainly immigration is probably on the top of the list if i was guessing, because survivor's guilt is one of the it's the crisis on the border most difficult things to
7:28 am
and the american people want to overcome. all of the symptoms of ptsd, the address that but democrats will not work with us to do the two nightmares and flashbacks. things, build the border secure wall and change the asylum law. survivor's guilt is separate those two things have to be done from that. to deal with the emergency that why me? is in fact on our border today why did i make it out and so i don't think the democrats are going to work to address constant going back, what could those, it's unfortunate the we have done differently? american people want to do that. healing from that is incredibly maybe they will come around and difficult and that's one of the we can address what the american hardest things for me to people care most about but i overcome. so, i think part of my work today is in talking to will say this neil as i go about i was in two different states over the past week i've been communities, survivors about across our district, people are this and encouraging not to tired of this double standard. compare their healing to somebody else, because we all this idea that there's one set have a different path and we all of rules for regular folks but a have a different level of different set if your name is resiliency for what we perceive comey or clinton or lynch. to be traumatic. so they do want people who recovery is unique to everybody, but it requires that you stay launch this investigation on present, and that you're willing false, on a false premise they to work through the stages of do want them held accountable the grief in a healthy fashion and i do think that it's important we get to the bottom without turning to medicaiders of this because as i said that to be able to cope. is not supposed to be how it works in this country. there's supposed to be equal treatment under the law and the neil: and you can say it's none fbi is not allowed to give an of your business, but in opposition research document to colorado, you run a treatment launch an investigation into the center in steam boat things, is
7:29 am
other party's candidate. that right. bill barr said that on the >> i did until last month i was witness stand last week in fact, the coo of foundry treatment so this is important i think we do need to look at that. center in colorado springs. neil: so when elijah cummings, i've had to step back because with the house oversight i'm on the road so much committee says at least 100 speaking. neil: you could have left the times worse than the actions that led to the impeachment of state entirely, and many look bill clinton in 1998, is he hyper vent it lating or what do back and don't want to go back. you think? >> well he's wrong. i mean, they actually did, the have you returned to columbine since? special counsel did i think in >> so, you know, that's a great question and i tried to go back that situation said there was obstruction of justice. to school my senior year-- this one didn't so i think it's completely wrong. i think it goes to what i just said, they're bound and i can't do this. determined to not do what's best but what i meant to say is i for this country but instead don't want to do this. focus on getting the president and now having had the chance to and what i think the american work in many communities i tell people want to do is focus on them one of the areas where i the issues that count and get to went wrong, i withdrew from the bottom of how this all things started in the first human connection entirely. place. instead my senior year i got a never forget this, neil. back in january of 2017, when it private tutor who came and was president-elect prior to the brought my assignments to me and inauguration, chuck schumer is having had a chance to connect on one of the shows and he makes to many of my classmates, i this statement which i think is missed out on a lot of scary. he says, if you mess with the collective healing they intelligence community and he's experienced in our senior year
7:30 am
talking about the president, if because i thought that substances were the answer. you mess with the intelligence so i tell people who are community they have six ways of struggling, the most crucial getting back at you. piece of recovery is staying think about that. that is scary. unelected people aren't supposed connected to other human beings to get back at elected people. for support because we are so they are supposed to do their prone to detachment and there's job but what in fact they did it countless adversity that comes looks like that statement that chuck schumer made is exactly with that. neil: now, it's oddly proven what took place, at the top levels of the fbi, under the that columbine sort of a ritual comey kabal, these five key people when they launched this pilgrimage for many who go early investigation into the president year, including one woman neil: jim jordan we shall see, earlier this week who killed it's not done yet to your point. herself after loading up arms and maybe doing the same thing. we've a lot more coming up on it's weird, isn't it? this later in the show you do want to pay attention to what's >> it definitely is. going on in paris right now i mean, in 1999, none of us had where the so-called yellow vest any idea that this would be protests are resuming taking a two week hiatus at the order of the french president emmanuel commonly known for the tipping point for a cultural phenomenon. macron and of course the since then we've had 20 years of national cathedral fire going on and protesters are very steadily building examples of school shootings and mass concerned about all the money shootings in general. being committed to rebuild that so, i think for columbine it's one of those single events where nearly 900-year-old church, better than $1 billion pledged everybody over age 35 remembers where they were when it happened
7:31 am
from largely wealthy people and and the only other ones that do they say what about us? they're not happy, more after that are potentially the this. this is loma linda, oklahoma city bombing and 9/11. and everyone has an emotional a place with one of the highest life expectancies attachment to columbine and in the country. unfortunately for those who are you see so many people walking around here mentally deranged or unstable, in their hundreds. so how do you stay financially well it's created a fascination. neil: you're right, austin. for all those extra years? well, you have to start planning as early as possible. thank you for all you're doing to help people. we all need to plan, for 18 years or more, austin eubanks. >> thank you. neil: a reminder of what of retirement. matters. that will do it. i don't have a whole lot saved up, but i'm working on it now. in the country. i will do whatever i need to do. you see so many people walking around here in their hundreds. so how do you stay financially well plan your financial life with prudential. for all those extra years? bring your challenges. well, you have to start planning as early as possible. we all need to plan, for 18 years or more, this is the family who booked the flight, ♪ of retirement. i don't have a whole lot saved up, who saved by adding a hotel, but i'm working on it now. i will do whatever i need to do. which led to new adventures, ♪ plan your financial life with prudential. that captured their imaginations bring your challenges. ♪ and turned moments into memories. with flights, hotels, activities and more

some very good initial public molly line on the ground there offerings, and optimism on trade , and very little having to as it happens. do with robert mueller and his hi there, molly. >> leland there have been talents from some of investigation, now might that have been different if the investigation had yielded different results or the report had been worded differently from what folks thought we'll never know. this much we do know. all the major market averages closed yesterday for the good friday holiday are within a percent or two of the most of old records established last fall so what's going on let's get the read from susan li we also have last but not least, kevin kelly. kevin, the markets said yes, move on. >> i think as everyone is really focused on earnings but one of the interesting aspects that happened is you actually got good earnings but it couldn't move the market higher and you also had the second largest sector of the entire market have some mixed earnings and that was in the financial side, right and the only way they were able to actually kind of save themselves is through cost cutting, so i think we're actually going to have to see
7:36 am
how global trade works out in this second half of the year because we talk about china doing so well, but that's not reverberating into the german numbers right? they actually had their fourth straight month of contraction and they missed, so france is not doing well, aside from what's happening on the streets there, and then also, you know i looked at the u.s. services pmi, right? neil: a popular purchasing index they're not buying as much. this was a services side and guess what two-thirds of our economy is services. neil: as far as what he's saying is the market isn't as focused as if it was on mueller. >> no the market is not focused on mueller because mueller is in the rear view mirror. the markets look ahead so when we talk about to kevin's point what the market may be looking at they are going to look at china. look we're really close to a deal. it's really focusing in on what is the accountability mechanism going to be to make
7:37 am
sure that china toes the line once we do have a deal in place, so i think the market is looking at that. we're inching closer to a deal and when that deal does happen, neil i think that the market is really going to take off. >> i'm going to agree with that because markets may not have been distracted but i feel like investors majority it have been. there hasn't been a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of money going into this big rally we've seen in the first quarter of the year. in fact larry fink, the largest money manager in the world, he says people are under invested in fact because you missed out on the big gains in the first quarter there might be a chance of a melt up, that means more gains in the stock market. neil: well the mueller uncertainty clear the runway for that? >> i think it does. people don't understand that with the mueller report coming up this week, didn't see the retail sales hit its highest in two years in the u.s.. closing sales, which had concerns about subprime loans
7:38 am
once again did really well so the lows and jobless claims. >> i would go back to though it proves they actually had a weak numbers before and there were a lot of sales incentives so february was abysmal so they were catching up for that to pull sales forward actually so the interesting aspect i think we're talking about the investor s on the sidelines . listen if we look at one of the biggest stocks which is called prologis, the industrial warehouse facility, with asian and u.s. operations they beat on the top line and beat on the bottom line raised guidance guess what happened to the stock went nowhere. so there's this uncertainty and i think it has to do with capital expenditures so we're talking about the mueller report i think investors are worried about capital expenditures with uncertainty should the democrat actually win so why would a corporation spend more money investing when there is the uncertainty with the political regime that could happen. neil: let me explain explore that a little bit. the president has been doing a lot of tweeting today before hitting the links. >> [laughter] neil: it's fine. its been a crazy week, but most
7:39 am
of the tweets have to do with the fake news media, the russian hoax story, and only one reference to the underlying economy and the fundamentals that you argue are good including this one the united states jobless claim just hit a 50 year low. the economy is doing great. i think all his tweets then should be of that genre, but he still keeps rehashing this thing i don't know to what end. >> i think that the president should stay focused in on the economy. look we're getting into election season now, in order for the president to be re-elected it's all going to hinge on the economy, so with the economy running as hot as it is, why not focus in on that area, i can't possibly tell you what the president -- neil: well that's a 1-7 ratio right now the economy and the mueller report but so kevin kind of alluded to some of the concerns going forward. i did notice united healthcare is up this week. >> yes. neil: and then the concern that wait a minute if they start policing government-run health
7:40 am
care that could hurt us even though both the top line and bottom line numbers were very good so those are outside developments but the president could cling to that and say that this is what people fear if the democrats take over. >> right exactly and technology being broken up as well, the tech has been amazing so far, this year, so i think that should be you're right. that would be a great promotional campaign. they like to make money in these big companies like google and amazon. neil: that's a lot of republican strategists saying they kind of when he gets on this issue he's angry still about the mueller report and so many people focusing on this other stuff? >> yeah, this tweet was actually great because it didn't say hey, i'm blaming the fed for the downturn. he needs to stick to these type of tweets as opposed to placing blame anywhere else or even talking about the stock market. >> well the fed was responsible for the 20% decline in december wasn't it? let's be honest about who dragged down the market. >> i wouldn't say the fed was
7:41 am
actually necessarily to blame for that. >> 100%. >> well if this economy is doing so well why shouldn't they raise rates? if the economy is weak should they be cutting rates? >> they reacted too quickly. they overreacted. >> and the two mandate which is is employment and inflation and there is no inflation unless you cross both hurdles why raise interest rates. >> that becomes goods inflation , so guess what this gets cheaper and cheaper every single year. neil: not if you're samsung and you have one that unfolds and breaks and it's $2,000. >> but services keep going up, legal services tax accounting services are going up inflation wise and that's hitting the bottom line of corporations and people on the street. neil: dan wanted me to interrupt you because elizabeth warren is speaking right now and where is she now? in new hampshire and that's a neighboring state and of course she's a massachusetts senator, she is i think that just by being close by new
7:42 am
hampshire she like bernie sanders could benefit. she is not a fan of the mueller report and what it implicates for the president and she's not a fan susan pointed out what's going on in technology and we're monitoring stay with us. >> i'm sorry. hey carl, what are you charging me for online equity trades? laughs/umm.. and do i get my fees back if i'm not happy? like a satisfaction guarantee? ugh. schwab! oh right, i'm calling schwab. thanks, carl! (click). wait, lisa! lisa... are you getting low costs backed by a satisfaction guarantee? if not, talk to schwab. a modern approach to wealth management.

7:45 am
neil: all right, we told you at the start of the broadcast that the number one issue for americans is in the latest fox news poll looking at democrats and republicans is immigration, and doesn't this next fellow no it, a county in new mexico just declaring a state of emergency at the border and this guy has asked the governor there to help them out by deploying national guard troops, but governor grish am is not complying telling county commissioners to ask the department of homeland security, joining us is now the county commissioner, and good to have you thanks for taking the time. >> neil i appreciate you having me on. neil: so the governor says no, talk to dhs, have you talked to
7:46 am
dhs? >> no, sir we haven't. we've just began this process, neil, by declaring this state of emergency in otero county, home of holeman air force base but this is just a cry out, neil that we need help. our border checkpoints have been shut down since march 25 and those checkpoints weren't put in place for no reason. they serve a purpose. they monitor illegal drug trafficking and illegal activit ies and with those check points being shut down right now as we speak, it just puts the constituents that i've been voted into office by at risk. neil: you know for a lot of folks would don't know where you are you're really on sort of in a position here physically on the texas and right at the brink of the mexico border so you're right at the ground zero in this battle. we're going to show that shortly there. >> that's correct. neil: what do you make though of
7:47 am
the fact that a lot of people are just saying oh, this is over stated and this isn't a big issue and then you hear reports out that a number of the top democratic candidates corey book er saying there is an emergency going on at the border >> you know, my message would be to those that say there's not really anything going on there, there's no real reason for concern, would be that they don't live in the state that i live in. you know, new mexico is already oppressed enough as it is. recent data came out showing that new mexico leads the united states in child poverty, one- third of our native american folks living in new mexico live at or below the poverty level. albuquerque, new mexico the city that i'm in right now leads the nation in auto theft. you know, new mexico is really suffering in so many areas. data was just gathered recently that rated the different states in the united states and their desireability to live in and new
7:48 am
mexico was ranked the least desirable state in the united states to live in, and the travesty of it is neil that new mexico has so much to offer. we have a diverse public land, we have a diverse culture, we have a great climate, we have a rich southeast corner with oil & gas, but by us being ranked the least desirable state in the united states, that just goes back to our politics in the state of new mexico right now, and it's unfortunate for the people of this great state because new mexico is my home. i go back generations. neil: what is this state of emergency mean then commissioner what powers do you have when it comes to this border crisis how to deal with it if the governor is not going to concur? >> well i tell you, neil, in regards to the power that the counties have in regards to the constitution, we have tremendous
7:49 am
power, and so -- neil: to do what, just educate me. what do you have the right to do >> well, we have the right to support our locally-elected county sheriff. our sheriff has a tremendous amount of power and me as a county commissioner as well as a sheriff of my county have sworn an oath to the people of our county of otero county to protect and to serve them and to look out for the well being of the people of my county, so this cry out to our governor, this declaration of an emergency is just, it's like us waving a white flag. i mean again, like i just mentioned, we're getting overrun right now with immigrant s and the cartel has a green light during to go through two major corridors, u.s. 54 and u.s. highway 70. those are both known avenues that the cartel uses to muscle
7:50 am
smuggle drugs and inside of my county right now according to friends of mine that work undercover narcotics the level of activity has never been higher. one of the undercover narcotics i spoke with the other day said that the stash houses along our southern border are being empt ied right now and shuttled north because of uncontrolled checkpoints, and in new mexico and in my county we have a problem but i speak to the rest of the united states, because those drugs coming up out of mexico coming through my county will soon be in a neighborhood near you so i would ask you to please give heed to our cry out with this declaration. neil: commissioner thank you very much, couy griffin, the ote ro county new mexico commissioner in the middle of this crisis at that border, fair and balance here we did reach out to the governor of new mexico, we've not heard back, but again, we hope that we can get the governor. and soon, in the meantime, keeping track of the weather this easter weekend, for a lot
7:51 am
of folks just trying to get anywhere, it's proving increasingly tough, what it could mean for you, whether you're traveling or not, after this. turning 50 opens the door to a lot of new things... like now your doctor may be talking to you about screening for colon cancer. luckily there's me, cologuard. the noninvasive test you use at home. it all starts when your doctor orders me. then it's as easy as get, go, gone. you get me when i'm delivered... right to your front door and in the privacy of your own home. there's no prep or special diet needed. you just go to the bathroom, to collect your sample. after that, i'm gone, shipped to the lab for dna testing that finds colon cancer and precancer. cologuard is not right for everyone. it is not for high risk individuals, including those with a history of colon cancer or precancer. ibd, certain hereditary cancer syndromes, or a family history of colon cancer. maybe i'll be at your door soon!
7:52 am
ask your doctor if cologuard is right for you. covered by medicare and most major insurers.
7:53 am
7:54 am
neil: all right, it is raining in midtown manhattan raining throughout much of the north east and the east coast in fact there has been a lot of severe weather that has prompted disruptions and folks trying to get anywhere this easter weekend already today better than 1,300 flight delays, 262 outright cancellations, and my next guest is right that will likely grow, because our fox news meteorologist says this weather will be with us for a little while. adam? >> hey there, neil unfortunately we're not quite done with this one yet and it has been a big system this is the last 72 hour storm reports mostly across the southeast
7:55 am
running into new england every one of these red icons is a reported tornado on the ground so this is a real mess and it always happens when cold and warm air bump into each other, you see the big strong cold front, 47 in atlanta that's fairly chilly for 62 in new york so we're still on the warm side of that cold front that's what's fueling all of these showers, continuing to watch that line really begin to dump a lot of very heavy rain. tornadoes, big thunderstorms likely done but still a flooding concern, this becomes more of an issue for new england from now running into the rest of the weekend put this into motion the time stamp behind my head but it's such a slow mover so i took you into this evening and you don't see a lot of movement with this line which means a training a lot of rain piling up across portions of new england, running up to boston, maine, this is really a wet situation the next couple of days so we've got flood watches, warnings stretching from philadelphia up to new york and running upstate in a lot of these places likely the farther north you live the more rain you'll see with this as it continues to rain at least throughout the course of today, and probably
7:56 am
some pop-up showers as you get into tomorrow, also as far as additional rainfall, and this is only added to what we've already seen, in some of these places already seen a couple inches of rain, widespread at least half an inch but likely an inch too inches of rain across new england from now running you all the way into sunday so this is going to be an ongoing issue, and finally, for your holiday, for easter, if you're outside of new england whereas i said we're going to see these off and on showers there is another rain system coming off the pacific coast, that's going to be effect ing the northern plains stretching back into the mountain states but the middle of the country the midwest the southeast, down across the dessert southwest, neil these are all places where i think the easter bunny and gets looking for the regs are going to be in good luck so there is good news across the country also. neil: there is that. all right adam thank you very very much my friend, real quick peak at paris what's going on we're monitoring it because they had stopped these demonstrations , these so-called yellow vest demonstrations but they are out in force today because they think the
7:57 am
government is not paying attention to them and more interested in statues and art work and the cathedral of notre dame and no one really cares about them. they're not happy, more after this. as not safe drivers! that's why esurance has drivesense.® the safer you drive, the more you save. although i'm not really driving right now that would be unsafe. when insurance is affordable, it's surprisingly painless. ...
