"fox & friends" for a thursday. brian: 15 hours of testimony yesterday william barr got a break and went after it. when bob mueller put out that letter that was put out

right before the testimony started there was a new layer of intrigue to it. and, of course, the democrats were trying to show that barr was in cahoots with, get this, the president of the united states to somehow block a report that's already been out. ainsley: new this morning, he is supposed to testify in front of the house judiciary committee. he says he will not do that he is not going to comply with that and not going to supply with the subpoena because these lawmakers want staffers to ask questions. he said i didn't agree to too that. steve: look, the democratsen the house along party lines voted yesterday and they changed the rules. they voted to add an extra hour at the end of the hearing which was going to be today so that house judiciary lawyers could question mr. barr. here's the questions that a lot of people are saying why would they need to have lawyers do it? on the house judiciary committee on the democratic side there are 24 members. 18 of them have law degrees. so why do they need a 19th person who is a lawyer on the staff to ask questions?

it does not speak very highly of their skill as a litigator. ainsley: they are saying we don't have time for follow-up. we each only get five minutes. so many attorneys on that committee, then one attorney could ask a question if there is a follow up the other attorney can ask a question. there are 41 people on this committee. republicans and democrats. steve: where is that going? brian: have to wonder if the democrats are saying man we overplayed our hand. jerry nadler found his way to the a fike money and said this is why he thinks the attorney general is not showing up. >> he's terrified of having to face a skilled attorney. but a five-minute rule is not conducive to follow-up. it is very valuable as any lawyer will tell to you have somebody in this case a staff lawyer and follow up when he gives a nonresponsive answer. the most effective way of getting to the truth can i understand given how dishonest he has been since march 24th at the earliest.

-- since march 24th at the latest. i can understand why he is afraid of facing more effective examination. brian: afraid or we haven't seen something like that since really the nixon era. with that he volunteered to come up yesterday and today. and jerry nadler has now has nothing to do today. if have you something, ping-pong or anything that you can keep him active that will be good. barr says i'm more than willing to come for now yesterday in the afternoon it became clear through the justice department that he will not show. ainsley: he is saying the rules are the rules. i agreed to do one thing. steve: volunteer you had. ainsley: exactly. the state department or doj said it's unprecedented and unnecessary and inappropriate. the president agrees. listen. >> you want to you will treat him differently than they have for everybody else and for many, many years never done it this way where they're bringing in outside counsel or something. that's not the way -- you know, you elect people they

are supposed to be able to do their own talking. steve: now it sounds like the possibility there is a democrats may try to hold the attorney general in contempt. it was clear yesterday they did not like what he had to say. essentially the testimony questioning broke down into two parts. the republicans asked how the whole thing got started, essentially, was there spying, et cetera. democrats were asking about the ending regarding his four-page statement that he sent out where it was revealed, you know, hours before, the hearing started that robert mueller had sent a letter in march and said did he not like the attorney general's four-page memo and how the public was interpreting it. and it didn't capture the context. and mr. barr said yesterday that the letter was kind of submisnity, written by a staff

member. brian: listen, bob, what's with the letter you? could have called me. if you have a problem just call me. which made him think his staff wrote it and many people think it was the lead staff wiseman who is a democrat that appeared on -- at hillary clinton's being a loser party. william barr answered that question repeatedly. this one through senator blumenthal. >> you, in effect, exonerated or cleared the president. >> no, i didn't exonerate. i said that we did not believe that there was sufficient evidence to establish an obstruction offense which is the job of the justice department. and the job of the justice department is now over. that determines whether or not there is a crime. the report is now in the hands of the american people. everyone can decide for themselves. there is an election in 18 months. that's very democratic process. but we are out of it. we have to stop using the

criminal justice process as a political weapon. ainsley: we did our job. he goes on to say that he read the full report that mueller gave him. he was surprised that mueller didn't make a decision on obstruction. so he and the deputy, rod rosenstein, they felt the doj had to make a decision otherwise it would be irresponsible and it would be unfair for the special counsel didn't have enough evidence, they said, and so the president was clear. steve: nonetheless, we just heard him say they were using -- the democrats are using the criminal justice process as a political weapon. we have got a little montage of some of their comments. you be the judge. >> but i think history will set you harshly. >> you not only put your own credibility into sanction giving sanction to the behavior to the language you used in that press conference you held. >> you lied. and now we know. being the attorney general of the united states is a sacred trust. you have betrayed that trust. america deserves better.

you should resign. >> you slandered this man from top to bottom. steve: that was perhaps the most fiery exchange senator hirono and the attorney general. brian: senator hirono so inappropriate. anything anything happens in the future with future presidents and senators first words you and this griffither president goes out and says disparaging thing. people are watching around the world. is that what the people of hawaii want? get to the question. you have enough issues out there. don't sit there for your five minutes and give a speech. so insulting. and the lack of self-awareness is something that karl rove thought was important to bring out last night with sean hannity. especially when it comes to someone like senator blumenthal and people using the term liar. >> the committee hearing today demonstrated to me there is a complete lack of self-awareness on the part of senate democrats. senator blumenthal he went after attorney general barr

accusing -- saying you are defending the president lying to the american people. well, wait a minute, wasn't richard blumenthal the senator who lied for years about having been a vietnam war veteran? cory booker, cory booker went after the attorney general saying you're attempting to normalize contact between american campaigns and russian operatives who provide material support to that campaign. well, what did christopher steele do with the money that he was paid by the democratic national committee and the hillary clinton campaign? he goes and contacts kgb and sfb agents in moscow. steve: they said they are reviewing the department of justice practices to see whether it was ethical or legal lines were crossed in the setting up of things. nonetheless, lindsey graham made it very clear at the end, he is not going to call mr. mueller. i'm going to write him a letter. if there is anything that mr. barr said that was inappropriate or inaccurate, we will know. but he said for the most part right now it's over.

ainsley: it's over. it's done. democrats are not happy about that. they want to hear from mueller. they are furious with barr. i think that if the results were different. if he had found evidence of a crime of obstruction, they wouldn't be calling for his resignation. this has become so political. you have joe biden asking for him to resign. kamala harris, kirsten gillibrand. julian castro and eric swalwell. brian: clearly the attorney general will resign now. a matter of packing up his office and gone by noon. i'm sure it worries him. one thing pretty clear snl will probably get john goodman to play him and cold open and probably continue up in the house. they will try to get don mcgahn and others to go and show up. the president will to block and be extended the question is does the country want you focused on what happened on tuesday where democratic leaders met with the president about infrastructure or do they want you to focus on wednesday where people look back at the campaign of 2016

and to try to prove that the president wasn't legitimate that will be the question that america will answer at the ballot box. steve: a lot of people who don't like the administration and like how the democrats are prosecuting this. frank berra who used to be the u.s. attorney in new york was asked yesterday and responded on twitter about barr's excuse for not testifying before the house judiciary committee today and he said well, it rhymes with snitty. brian: i would say this if you look at the ratings of a cable network the american people are making the decision. our network is focusing on things other than mueller and seems to be thriving if numbers matter. people focusing on mueller, they seem to be tanking. ainsley: we have carley shimkus here giving under the circumstances the headline. that word is trending now? carley: snitty is the word of the day. twitter is all about snitty today.

steve: twitty. carley: get you caught up on headlines the former unc charlotte student accused of killing two people and injuring four others will appear in court today. this as police are hailing one of those victims, 21-year-old reilly howell, a hero. >> he took the fight to the assailant and he unfortunately had to give his life to do so but he saved lives doing so. he took the assay atlanta off the seat and the apprehend from there. carley: all other school activities have been cancelled. venezuela's opposition leader wine guaido calling for a mass worker strike today as thousands of protesters are set to hit the streets of caracas for a third day. guaido says the protest would force president nicholas maduro out of power. comes as the white house warns russia to not interfere in the crisis unless they are willing to support the stability and prosperity of venezuela.

confirming cases of measles and syphilous and other things and diseases we have seen associated with this caravan. it's adding to this growing frustration amongst mexican residents from the continued caravans we spoke to one man about 25 miles north of here in the town. robert espinosa, here is what he had to say. >> they probably feel frustrated having all these people coming over to our country especially over there. they are having a hard time. people coming over, i'm not saying they are taking our bed from us but [bleep] griff: another woman said she would like a wall built on mexico's southern border. senator in mexico calling for sanitation fences on the north and south. those ambulances that were coming earlier, we haven't seen that in the few days we have been here. one source came out and told us it was because people

were injured in yet another attempt for migrants to break out. we did see yesterday outside here a very sick man, a haitian man that was amongst the haitian population that couldn't get in. he was lying on the ground just feet from where i'm standing, people trying to give him water. the officials inside not coming out to give him aid. finally they put him in a taxi to go to a nearby hospital. we don't know the condition of him. all of this coming as on our northern border near huma, arizona. cbp border patrol agents apprehending 700 on a one day hall on tuesday. you can see them crossing through the surveillance video as we have seen all over the u.s. border now the trump administration calling for more money believed to be 4 and a half billion not for a wall but for more shelters, more sanitation, more operation mall things because the problem continues to flow.

we are waiting for the mmi, migration officials in mexico give us a little firmer word on both the health situation inside this main shelter as well as reports of another escape. it would be the third in about a week. a lot going on down there in tapachula, mexico at 5:20 in the morning. thanks, griff. ainsley: 20 minutes after the top of the hour and it is national day of prayer. up next, the president of the national day of prayer with a powerful message for our country. what he says our country needs the most right now.

pastor of krupt church in springdale, arkansas. good morning. thank you for being with us. >> good morning, ainsley, how are you? ainsley: i'm good. it's a special day. tell us why it's important for our country to remember god today. >> well, just imagine, ainsley, thousands and thousands of gatherings and all kinds of settings and all kinds of places. all across america. people focusing on praying for america. even before the sun comes up in maine until the sun goes down in hawaii there will be people praying for our nation. our nation needs prayer today more than ever before. ainsley: tell us what we need to be praying for. do we need to be praying for our president, for lawmakers, for our country? what's important today? >> i believe all of those things and persons are important. i believe the real heart beat of our theme this year is one of the most powerful things that has really resonated across the country. and that would be the theme

love one another. when they think about praying for america. we need to think about praying and asking god that we would learn once again to love one another. come straight out of the words of jesus christ in john 13:34. love one another just as i have loved you. and with all of the division and the various speech that goes on and all kinds of settings, the relationships that are broken, we need to understand the power of love in the united states again. ainsley: we have seeneaster sun. grieve for the muslims murdered at their mosques in new zealand, violence and terrorism against people of all faiths must end and it must end now. [applause] ainsley: the breakfast is actually this morning. that was a dinner last night. i saw franklin graham and his daughter were there. this morning is the breakfast and rabbi from

that synagogue in california will be there. why is that so important for the president to address this? >> well, i believe it's a real encouragement to the country to hear the president and leader of our nation talk like that and talk about the importance of praying for those people, understanding the grief that all of us share any time that someone goes to a house of god, a synagogue, a church, and had their life at risk. i mean, that's just not right in america which shows, again, ainsley, the dire need for us to understand that every person and every religion has its own place and we need a world, we need a country whereby we honor those with the freedom of religion. last night i interviewed the family, the couple from turkey that was in prison for two years. and what a powerful time that was before several hundred leaders from all across america. once again, reminding us the

importance of religious liberty in the united states. ainsley: yes. we interviewed them here on "fox & friends." and do you know after our segment during the commercial break they said how can i pray for you, ainsley? and they stood right over there in this studio and they prayed for me. i was very touched by that thank you so much for being on with us and reminding all of us to pray. >> thank you, ainsley. i will appreciate it. ainsley: god bless you. >> thank you. ainsley: 2 will minutes after the top of the hour. senate democrats lashing out against attorney general barr during senate hearing. >> would i think history will judge you history. >> we know about your coverup for donald trump. ainsley: judge andrew napolitano joins us next. ♪ ♪ -here comes the rain.

(romantic music) that's gross priceline. every trip is a big deal. >> senate confirmed cabinet member they are supposed to be questioned by members of

the committee. and it seems, according to chairman nadler none of the democratic members are capable of asking the attorney general proper questions. that's a surprise to me since many of them are lawyers. but, the only time you allow counsel to interview witnesses in a hearing when it's an investigative hearing almost like a grand jury. steve: so there have you got joe digenova today bill barr the attorney general will not testify about the mueller report in front of the house judge andrew napolitano is joining us now. judge, is he talking about how on the house judiciary committee there are 24 democrats 18 are lawyers. >> right. steve: why do they need to have a staff lawyer ask questions. >> i take a different view on this. my view is the lawyers would ask better questions than the politicians. steve: those lawyers write the questions for the men's. >> yeah. -- for the members. >> there is a follow up in

the give and take we didn't hear yesterday. good lawyers, trained in cross-examination know how to do. the best lawyer in that room, the attorney general. he really shouldn't have anything to fear. my advice to him would be and i guess it's too late to do it now. steve: he is not going. >> go. let anybody ask you the questions you want. in your view have you nothing to hide. they will ask far better questions than the politicians did. example. senator harris, kamala harris from california, did you look at the underlying evidence? brian: listen to this. incredible. >> him moving forward? >> believe that i believe what was -- i mean, absolutely enlightening and deeply troubling to the entire american public is that he made a decision and didn't review the evidence. no prosecutor worth her salt would make a decision about

whether the president of the united states was involved in an obstruction of justice without reviewing the evidence. brian: what she is saying he should have read millions of documents that took 22 months and dozens of lawyers. >> yes. brian: and he should have read it in six weeks. >> yes, that's exactly what she is saying. brian: she is out of her mind. >> she is the former attorney general of the state of california. an enormous job. she was the second most important attorney general position in terms of numbers of prosecutions managed in the country. she couldn't possibly look in all the evidence and all the prosecutions. you have 44 fbi agents and 19 lawyers supervisorsed by bob mueller. you trust that when they come to a conclusion, they have eyeballed all the evidence. >> so then you don't have to examine the evidence yourself. >> it would have bee absurd for him to have. >> $1.4 million.

brian: i have seen the warehouse. it's unbelievable. >> so some of the questions were out of line. he wouldn't get questions like that lawyer to lawyer. which is why i argue the attorney general should go and let those lawyers ask him questions and we'll learn more than we learned yesterday. ainsley: judge, are the american people smart enough to see what's happening here they are just not happy with barr's decision. they are going after him every way that they can. they are trying to change the law. this sun press dentinged to have staffers talk. >> if you think this was a witch-hunt, i don't think your mind was changed yesterday. if you think the president committed obstruction of justice, wouldn't let bob mueller indict him. i don't think your mind was changed yesterday. i think the attorney general was frustrated with some of the questions like the ones from senator harris that he should do this and get it over with. brian: before we move on because we have another great topic, if i gave you 5 minutes to ask questions, that's fine. but they are not using their 5 to 7 minutes to ask questions. they are using it for written statements.

>> correct. brian: that's why people are frustrated. >> correct. brian: hirono goes on for four and a half minutes. that's why you can't get answers you aren't asking questions. if jerry nadler went to law school, he should not want a staff to do what he has been trained to do. >> you know, there are lawyers and then there are lawyers. when you have been a politician for so long you can lose the skill of cross-examination. when i heard senator graham rip into senator hirono, what is this? this is a political speech. this is not why we are here on national television. this is not asking him a question. he just sat there patiently. brian: called him a liar. steve: talking about donald trump and pardons. he goes what pardons? it was revealing he did, the attorney general, say there were multiple criminal leak investigations underway people would like to get to

the bottom. the dossier and feis stuff and stuff like that. this was good news. here is chuck grassley. listen to this. >> during the russia investigation leaks continue. leaks undermine the ability of investigators to investigate. what are you doing to investigate unauthorized media contacts by the department and fbi officials during the russian investigation? >> we have multiple criminal leak investigations underway. steve: that sounds good for a lot of people. judge: criminal very carefully worded phrase. criminal leak investigation means the leaker revealed testimony before a grand jury or classified material. that's pretty serious. if the justice department believes the people that work in the justice department or formerly worked in the justice department have done that i took that to be very serious. steve: when was the last time they ever prosecuted somebody at that level. >> i don't know.

for leaking not within my memory. brian: all right. so yet today, do you think they come together today. >> yes. brian: negotiate something for next week? >> yes. because of the pressure is so great on both sides to get this over with. but the real show will come when. brian: do you think bob mueller comes to the hill? >> i do. the reason i do is because he is such a straight arrow, marine corps, yes, sir, no, sir, here's what we found. here's the evidence and because the attorney general said. ainsley: they are trying to subpoena the full report. will that happen? >> yes. i don't think they will get the 2 million documents that senator harris wants to look at. brian: do you think thee will look at them. >> not one: they will get the full report and ask him whatever they want. brian: it's not over. >> it's not over. steve: your segment is over. >> i have another job upstairs. steve: we'll watch you over on fox nation. >> thank you. is carley here? oh my dear what a wonderful human being.

won in may 2018 was not legitimate. that was the not just the opinion of this columnist. it was the opinion of the group of lima, most of the western hemisphere and now we know most of europe. but more importantly it was the view of the real venezuelan supreme court which is now unfortunately in exile as well as the last democratic legitimate institute of venezuela national assembly. under the venezuelan constitution, when the presidency is vacated such as when a president stays past their legal term, at that point the president or the leader of the national assembly becomes interim president to prepare the country for elections. that's what happened back in january. that is why most of the civilized world, with a few exceptions juan guaido as the interim president of venezuela and that is why when he asks for the military to respect the

legitimate government of caracas that is not a coup that a step to finally remove the obstacle to democratic elections and legitimate venezuelan government. steve: right. and eli, in your column, you talk about how so many people are getting this wrong. they are calling it a coup. it was not a coup. he was elected. is he not trying to overthrow the government. is he trying to restore the government. >> correct. that's the key point here. because the last election from maduro was not legitimate. this is really -- this is a cherry on a cape of usurp station. attacked including the national assembly effectively stripped of all powers and replace it with another body. he has done all of these types of things. in the process invited predatory powers such as china, cuba and russia into venezuela which china and russia have taken a number of loans and put his country into severe debt which they now cannot repay. so, you know we are at a

point standoff. maduro is still in caracas still in power. but he has not been able to arrest and i think he has not yet given the order to arrest juan guaido and i think maybe the reason he hasn't given that order is because he knows that the highest levels of his regime there are senior leaders who have been meeting and negotiating with guaido for this particular democratic transition. steve: exit question. how much longer? >> you can't really predict these things, i think it's a really tenuous moment at this point. watch the meeting in lima, peru for what is known as the group of lima. so far we have seen very important and consistent solidarity from them. and hope from that will continue after their meeting today and tomorrow. brian: i heard from the administration they essentially said yesterday was a swing and a miss. doesn't mean they are not going to connect today. we will see. he did get off the plane on russia's behest and we don't know. why maduro was about to be exiled they thought to cuba and something went wrong.

hopefully we'll get them out of there soon or the people of venezuela will. eli lake, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me on. steve: meanwhile, 10 minutes before the top of the hour. she searched our nation in afghanistan. and now she and sister are helping the heroes at home with their fashion company. ♪ let freedom ring ♪ - [narrator] meet the ninja foodi, the pressure cooker that crisps. it's the best of pressure cooking and air frying all in one so in as little as 30 minutes it will be crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and on your table. the ninja foodi, the pressure cooker that crisps. repair the enamel on a daily basis.

♪ steve: all right. bill barr is not going to be rocking the house today. he decided yesterday after they changed the rules along party line rules democrats control you know what? in addition to us asking the questions we will haul in our lawyers and they will ask the questions for half an hour take it or leave it. he will leave it. ainsley: i didn't agree to talk to congress' lawyers. that's not the rules and never happened before. 24 democrats that voted for staffs to ask these questions. 24 democrats on this committee. and then there is 17 republicans. they will all get a chance to ask questions. 18 of those 24 democrats are lawyers. they know how to ask questions. brian: here's the thing. the format would change and they would give the staff or staffers a half hour straight. one person with a follow-up it was very similar, i think with judge kavanaugh when the republicans elected to put somebody there to ask

one question. they looked at that and the attorney general looked at it and said no, that's not what i volunteered for. and usually the democrats would come back and do a deal. instead they said you better show up or you are scared. and he says i'm not showing up. so, they are going to give a couple days of negotiation and then they said they will go use everything possible to haul him in. steve: right. they may hold him in contempt of court. michael goodwin writes on the pages of "the new york post." they smeared him, called him a liar and said he should resign the same senate democrats on the judiciary committee who tried assassinate the judge kavanaugh pulled the same stunt with bill barr same result. they failed. throwing mud while shooting blanks the. ainsley: they weren't happy with the results of the investigation. bill barr, yesterday, when he was testifying in front of the senate. he said they ever usin they aree justice system as a political system. watch. >> you, in effect, exonerated or cleared the president. >> no.

i didn't exonerate. i said that we did not believe that there was sufficient evidence to establish an obstruction offense which is the job of the justice department. and the job of the justice department is now over. that determines whether or not there is a crime. the report is now in the hands of the american people, everyone can decide for themselves. there an election in 18 months. that's very democratic process. but we are out of it. we have to stop using the criminal justice process as a political weapon. brian: really, if you look back 2001 when we couldn't decide an election and goes right up to the supreme court, every single thing we can't negotiate, building a wall, not building a wall. the president grabs other money, put it into the courts. everything is going through the courts right now and putting way too much pressure andvillefying the attorney general lawyers just like him. meanwhile, one of the lowest moments that i have seen in quite some time took place with senator mazday hirono used her time to slam the president, to disparage the attorney general, not only what they did but how they

act and what they say grifter, liar, all included. this is the culmination of that. listen. >> you think it's okay for a president to offer pardons to people who don't testify against him, to therei threatene family of someone who does. is that okay? >> when did he offer a pardon to someone -- >> -- i think you know what i'm talking about. please. please, mr. attorney general, you know, give us some credit for knowing what the hell is going on around here with you. >> not really to this ryan of questioning. listen, you slandered this man. >> what i want to know is how do we get to this point? >> i do not think that. >> how do we get to the point? >> all i can say. >> mr. chairman i am done, thank you very much. >> you slandered this man from top to bottom. so, if you want more of, this you are not going to get it.

steve: that's probably what he was talking about in that earlier sound bite where he was accusing the democrats of using the criminal justice system as a political weapon. ainsley: he is saying i'm here to talk about the mueller report. why are you asking me these questions? steve: so many wanted to know about that letter that was revealed in the hours before he was supposed to go up on capitol hill where robert mueller said hey, look, i think the public has the wrong impression of the findings from that four-page, wasn't a summary, but a memo. and then he said, you know, he described, mr. barr, the attorney general described the letter that mueller sent as a little snitty and he said it was probably sent by somebody on his staff. it was insinuated ultimately he said bob, why don't you pick up the phone and we can talk about this. ultimately what came out of that he said to mr. mueller, did i get anything wrong in my four pages? mr. mueller said no, you didn't. brian: he felt -- i feel as though there will be another

chapter. the judge also feels mueller will be up there on capitol hill. something else to add. i think two people got it right, senator ben sasse and senator klobuchar especially in the beginning both looked what the russians did and how to approach it and how to stop next time. she also wants to get paper ballots along with the senator from oklahoma so have you paper ballots on all our elections. we have to get paper ballots next time. if someone finds a way to electronically bring voting machines to their knees even though people say it's impossible i'm not convinced of it. have a bipartisan push. 80 senators agreed to it to get paper ballots. and senator klobuchar used her first three or four minutes to get the attorney general to go to bat on bipartisan legislation. in detail ben sasse did his homework. he found out what the russians did and asked the questions and found out how to stop it next time. that to me i understand you have to have politics overwhelmingly about the letters and summaries and it was not about what the russians did. steve: one of the other things that congress would like, the democrats in

congress, they would like to see an unredacted version of the mueller report. and the department of justice has made it very clear that is not going to happen. yesterday, the assistant attorney general steven boyd wrote a letter to congress and said allowing your committee to use the department of justice investigative files to rereinvestigate the same matter and second-guess decisions that have been made by the department would not only set a dangerous precedent but would also have immediate negative consequences. keep in mind, a lot of that stuff is prohibited by law to be released. if you at this point in time released, congress, change the rules. ainsley: so much classified information that wouldn't be fair to release if you release the unredacted full version and that's why the democrats -- the democrats are subpoenaing that. the republicans want accountability. they will want to find out how this all happened. they want to get to the bottom of this investigation. i think everyone wants to make sure that russia does not try to change the results of our election.

brian: the inspector general report is coming out this month and john huber is supposed to do something. we don't know if he is ever going to produce anything. if he does, these things should have the so-called effect of investigating the investigators to find out how this started to make sure the next political candidate isn't political carnage of the intelligence community if, in fact, that indeed happened. i would say the redaction part is a nonstarter. only 8% is redacted. enough there for democrats to be unhappy about and republicans to be happy about. i think the redaction thing falls on its faces a does the letter. it's null and void because the now the mueller report is out. who cares what happened two weeks before it was released. steve: speaking of redactions, lindsey graham opened the hearing yesterday and dropped the f bomb. if you ever needed a redaction that probably was a time right then. just saying. ainsley: the senator? south carolina. steve: oopsy daisy. ainsley: nicholas sandman said reputation tainted because of not telling the full story accurately.

he is the kid from the covington catholic high school. he could be a very wealthy individual. he is suing another network. members and nbc now this time for $275 million. steve: you remember the images of him they went viral. they were online, twitter. they were on television as well. this stuff right here. and the initial reporting was that the young men from covington high school in those maga hats were mocking that native american. later, other video came out that showed that the group actually instigated the confrontation. that according to the mill.com. so now, not only are they suing msnbc and nbc for $270 million, but they also. ainsley: 75 million. steve: they sued "the washington post" for 250 million and cnn for 275 million as well. so, we're talking about some real money now.

ainsley: he hired linwood that famous attorney i think out in the atlanta area. steve: he did. ainsley: nbc universal unleaderboard vast corpghtd wealth influence and power against nicholas to falsely attack him by relying heavily on biased and unreliable sources without conducting any reasonable investigation of the circumstances. they said if you had told the story wrong, we will accept your apology. we will not go after you. we will not sue you. steve: just take it down and correct it and people are expecting more lawsuits after this one. just the third big one. any time it's over about a quarter of a billion dollars gets people's attention. brian: they did everything they could to ruin his life for five days didn't go out of their way to find out the true story. he has to apply to cleanings now and wants to turn the page. how many things around the be coming his direction because they associate him with that scene? steve: if he wins all this money he could buy his own college. brian: 10 minutes after the hour. hey, carley.

carley: get to a fox news alert. julian assange says he will fight extradition to the united states. protesters gathering outside the london courthouse today where the wikileaks co-founder appeared via video. this comes one day after being sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for skipping bail. assange was arrested last month for a violation. he is facing charges in the u.s. for conspiring with convicted leaker chelsea manning. assange says he would not surrender to extradition for what he called journalism. he spent the last seven years as a refugee in the ecuadorian embassy in london. an urgent manhunt is intensifying for this gunman who shot two indiana judges. brad jake cobsz and drew adams shot in a white castle parking lot while attending a conference in indianapolis. police say an argument broke out with strangers just before the shooting. both circuit judges are now in stable condition. overnight, their southern indiana community coming together pray for a speedy

recovery. >> we are just hanging on our faith that's how we are getting through this. carley: police don't believe the judges were targeted. pete buttigieg could be getting advice from failed presidential candidate hillary clinton. the south bend indiana mayor met with the former secretary of state in new york this week. clinton has not yet endorsed the 2020 candidate but she has met with several of them including senators kamala harris, elizabeth warren, and cory booker. a big win at the billboard music awards has rock fans divided. >> music award goes to magic imagine dragons. >>ing that he home the top rock artist award over the legendary band queen. that win causing a lot of controversy online. one person tweeting i love imagine dragons but queen deserves it let's be honest they're the winners already

because they are queen. tweeting the imagine dragons are better than queen the lyrics shouldn't even be compared. not talking singer voices. talking band as a whole. watch so you see them passing u2. those are your headlines, guys. a lot of controversy over that one. steve: no kidding. congratulations to them. ainsley: people have strong opinions about their favorite music and their bands. brian: i think it was on abc network on the making of queen and their come back with "american idol" winner adam lambert. ainsley: also that big movie. steve: bohemian rhapsody. ainsley: they have been in the headlines allot. let someone else have their time imagine dragons? carley: i like that. ainsley: i think most people know queen not imagine dragons. i don't know if my parents know imagine dragons. steve: everybody knows we will, we will rock you. brian: carley we owe you a

favor. chaos continues south of the border with thousands of migrants pouring through mexico on their way here. steve: guess who is not happy about it? apparently some of the people in mexico. we are live on the ground with their story coming up. ok, paint a picture for me. uh, well, this will be the kitchen. and we'd like to put a fire pit out there, and a dock with a boat, maybe. why haven't you started building? well, tyler's off to college... and mom's getting older... and eventually we would like to retire. yeah, it's a lot. but td ameritrade can help you build a plan for today and tomorrow. great. can you help us pour the foundation too? i think you want a house near the lake, not in it. come with a goal. leave with a plan. td ameritrade. ♪ the matters.ar... introducing the all-new 2019 ford ranger, it's the right gear. with a terrain management system for... this. a bash plate for... that. an electronic locking rear differential for...

>> i think the american public biased in this situation and you have been not been objective. >> i think history will judge you harshly. >> you not only put your own credibility into question but seem to be giving sanction to behavior. >> parted san experts and elected officials were surprised by your efforts to protect the president. but i was not surprised. you did exactly what i thought you'd do. >> my favorite part about the hirono remarks was when the person put their head in front of the camera. blasting bill barr over handling of the mueller report despite countless accusations. next guest says he performed pretty well former doj deputy director of public affairs ian prior joins us now. ian, overall it was personal attack. more personal attack and less questions. what stood out for you? >> yeah. i think it was absolutely appalling. and hirono is what really stood out to me. in the midst of that six minute slander attack what really was clear to me is that she didn't actually read the mueller report.

and it's likely that everything she knows about the mueller report she from recess tabs twitter. she talked about how the president fired james comey because he wouldn't shut down the investigation. that's not what the mueller report said. the mueller report said that the reason why the president fired comey was because he wouldn't go out and tell the press what he had told the president namely at that time he was not under investigation. barr tried to make that point but hirono wouldn't let him. she just kept on going and going. brian: here's the media reaction to what they witnessed over 12 hours. >> attorney general barr continuing to distort and deflate the mueller report. >> i think the tatters. >> there was an ease with which barr lied. >> he was being deceptive and deceitful. >> an attorney general who presented himself in a way that's not really refutable anymore. is he fully obviously corrupted. brian: so that was their opinion. the viewers really got a good analysis there. >> i will tell you what. i think bill barr knows more about the law, the department of justice and

the job of attorney general than any of the democrats up there grand standing and trying to trip him up and certainly any of the media out there trying to make controversy where there is absolutely none to be had. we are talking about a letter here. a letter that was released that was accurate. mueller's letter actually said that barr -- or not summary but conclusions are accurate. then he released the report two or three weeks later. brian: real quick senator harris comes out and says why is the attorney general rod rosenstein allowed to evaluate this? he is conflicted? where did that come from? he was the god for the last two years and now all of a sudden he has a horse in this race? >> and not only was he the god but he was cleared by career doj officials to be the acting attorney general over this investigation. so then when he gets back down to deputy attorney general on this particular investigation. he is supposed to get recleared by ethics? that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. and the fact that the press is linizing kamala harris' questioning shows exactly

where they're putting their chips in this debate. brian: underlying documents she wants him to read that's why you had special counsel. millions of documents collected and you want the brand new attorney general to read 3 million documents before he releases the report? they didn't want to wait two weeks what about two more years? >> the job of mueller was to collect evidence, review the evidence and come to factual conclusions. did they really want barr to ignore those factual conclusions and come to his own? what would have democrats said at that point. brian: absolutely. ian prior, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: next guest is mixing faith and comedy and getting a lot of laughs. >> there is a kid born in a chick-fil-a this summer real life. listen, i know i don't know the day or the hour when the lord is going to return but -- [laughter] brian: john is here live and that's him standing in fronts of our flag ♪ ♪ - i think the best companies succeed as a team,

ainsley: a new health scare overnight for migrants pushing towards the united states. three ambulances were called to a shelter in mexico in a matter of hours. steve: this, as the white house is demanding more than $4 billion to help handle the crisis at our southern border for a variety of things. brian: no one can tell griff jenkins about the crisis he has been living it and seeing it as they work their way up toward our border. griff jenkins live in mexico with the latest. hey,. griff: griff hey, brian, ainsley and steve. there is a health scare here in the media. mexican residents concerned about ebola. mexican officials saying that's not the case no cases of ebola. it has prompted mexican lawmakers one senator to call for sanitation fences to be put on mexico's southern and northern border because of the concern.

now we saw ambulance activity this morning a few hours ago. three ambulances coming in and come out of this. standing in front of. the main migrant shelter in tapachula where there is more than a thousand migrants being held. we know the sources coming out tell us there may have been an incident inside fighting not necessarily a case of illness but, you know, when we went 45 miles north of here and talked to some of the residents they are very frustrated with this caravan and migrant situation. one pharmacist telling us she would like to see a wall built on mexico's southern border. listen. [speaking spanish]

griff: meanwhile we did find one man outside this shelter where i'm standing that was sick. he will didn't get any treatment from the shelter. no one came out after about 30 minutes. he was put into a cab. we don't know how he was meanwhile up on our northern border arizona. group of 700 on tuesday crossing our u.s. border. situation is very fluid here. we are trying to find out more guys on the situation inside this shelter. and the situation with the health concern across all of these migrants in the latest caravan. guys? steve: that is very troubling. griff, thank you very much. let's bring in tom homan. is he a fox news contributor. you know him. he is retired ice director as well. tom, what do you make of the fact that, you know, over the last number of months the president has been asking mexico to do more and now griff is outside of a detention center in southern mexico tapachula where they have a lot of people there and they are trying to keep them there and trying to figure out what to do with them before they continue

their trek north. >> well, i agree with the president. mexico needs to do more and they are not doing enough. look, the criminal cartels moving these people to the border and managing their crossing the border. i said many times the cartels push a group of families to one sector to move drugs and bad people to another sector. 1/3 of the women are being sexually molested. according to doctors without borders. criminal cartels are operating without impunity in mexico. it's against the law in mexico to smuggle people. it's against the law in mexico to traffic women and children. i said ice needs to get down there send a couple hundred agents down there and work with the units and try to dismantle these criminal organizations. follow the money. that's the way they find out who they are. mexico needs to do more. absolutely they are not doing enough. ainsley: yeah. the white house is now asking for more money from congress. $4.5 billion for emergency spending on the border. 3.3 billion for humanitarian efforts.

and 1.1 billion for border operations. will congress approve that? >> no. look, i don't have any faith in congress. congress failed this president from day one. talking about the president obstructing justice, who is obstructing more than congress? they have obstructed as president from day one they have obstructed him. but, look, just forget about congress. there are certain things we can do operationally. there is three quick things they can do right now that they're not doing. i have said it before on this show. if ice needs to do a national operation. look to those family units. 90% of them lose their case. they have been ordered removed by a judge. seek them out, detain them and remove them. it will work. i did it three and a half years ago under democratic administration. i got a lot of push back and i did it guess what, almost immediately the border numbers went down because they saw families on planes going home. right now central america is seeing all these people leaving and no one is coming home. 90% lose their cases get an order from a judge we need

to execute those orders and show there is a cons sequence. we need to surge immigration judges to the border. forget about 800,000 backlog. let it sit there send all the judges to the border. deal with the people coming across right now. have quick hearings. put them on planes and send them home. again, 90% lose. brian: keep the 800,000 pun intended on ice and worry about the next ones, today's? >> yeah. call it lasting first stop. all immigration. third deal with the temporary facilities and hold everybody. we did it during the cuban migration. we did it during nic rag grawn migration and haiti migration. build temporary facilities and hold everybody. only hold families for 20 days hold them for 2 20 days have. toe dine. get released within an hour. half of them don't file cases of immigration and the ones that do show up, they get ordered removed 90% of the time. there is no consequence. no deterrence and they will keep coming until we make

these changes. we got to stop relying on congress. we have got to do operation what needs to be done. ainsley: because of that flores settlement the kids have to be released in 20 days that's what you are talking about and then these moms and dads being released with them. there is a pilot program homeland security is launching to use d.n.a. testing to determine if the kids and parents are actually family units. steve: related. ainsley: tell us more about this program. >> look, first of all, i think it's a great program. i have been pushing for this since 2014. under jeh johnson. i said children are being trafficked. i read the intelligence reports. family units are not really family units. i mean, so it needs to be done. i'm glad it's being done because if kids are being recycled and trafficked. the unfortunate thing is it took five years to make it happen and how many children came across with people that aren't their parents. you remember family separation and the judge ordered reunification 6% of the people had d.n.a. test showed parents weren't even the parents. if you are 2500 there is a

couple hundred children released to people that weren't even their parents. this is a great program. brian: swab their cheek. swab the inside of their mouth and two hours you will get the results. of course have you adoption and other things. there will be a conversation. just the fact that there will be a d.n.a. swab as you know it might be a deterrent. there is also talk of mark morgan being the next ice director. would you be in support of that? >> yeah. look, mark morgan is a friend of mine. actually, i was with him last night on another show. he contacted by the white house rumor. you know, mark is 20-year fbi veteran. he was the chief of the border patrol for six months under president obama. so, look, i think he should throw his hat in the ring. why not? we need strong leadership. so i think he is an option. again, i think it's a rumor. it was rumor i would be secretary half a dozen times. there are all these rumors out there people being elevated i think mark is a good man. and being a 20 year career

veteran with the fbi i think that says a lot about his character and i think he will serve. steve: tom homan retired ice director thank you for joining us from your location today. ainsley: wherever that is. steve: looks like ice h.q. could be his basement. brian: 18 minutes before the top of the hour. economy is booming under president trump. no one denying it democrats running in 2020 making it a campaign issue. go ahead. ainsley: next guest says dems won't win that argument and he joins us next. ♪ money, money, money ♪ money ♪ money, money, money ♪ money ♪ sun care is self care. i used to not love wearing an spf just because i felt like it was so oily and greasy. but with olay regenerist whip spf 25, it's so lightweight. i love it. i'm busy philipps, and i'm fearless to face anything. stop fearing your alarm clock... with zzzquil pure zzzs.

next guest says that argument is a loser for democrats. stuart, if the economy is roaring as the data seems to indicate. when people go to the ballot box that's generally good for the incumbent. >> absolutely. do you remember james carvel way back when a generation ago he said it's the economy, stupid. he was right because people do vote with their pocketbooks and vote with their wallet. if we have prosperity at the time of the election the incumbent looks pretty good. let me lay it on thick. this really is an outstanding economy, i can't characterize it other than it's the best i have seen in the a generation. rapid economic growth. falling inflation. very low interest rates. 7 million jobs going begging. historically low unemployment rates. what am i missing? can i goldilocks economy and it's a trump's goldilocks economy. brian: some political experts around him you wonder why he keeps pounding

middle class. this economy is -- the middle class is not feeling it. what is your reaction to that? >> what they are trying to do is set up the idea that somehow or another capitalism, the trump economy is not fair and the great american middle class is suffering. they are flat out wrong. as we have discussed on this program. the democrats have a real hard time with prosperity. they are denying prosperity, which is a foolish move. they keep ignoring it. they can't explain how we got to this prosperity. they can't admit that it's tax cuts and deregulation. they can't do it. ainsley: crushing it? >> yes, i think you can say that since when has middle america in this day and age as of right now we're being crushed? get out of here. steve: he needs the middle class to get him elected president. >> don't go out there making false statements. he also said. steve: they are politicians, hello. >> stagnant. they are not. he said we don't feel any effects from the tax cuts. yes, we do.

ainsley: what's the plan that kirsten gillibrand has to give 600 to do so give it to politicians? >> you seem interested in this process. brian: i find this fascinating. >> it is fascinating. president candidate kirsten gillibrand wants to give up to $600 in vouchers to people who vote in elections. what she is trying to do is get big money out, private money out of elections, and at the same time get socialist elected because that's who she thinks will take the money and vote for socialists. get the socialists in using taxpayer money. i just can't imagine that this will fly. brian: 21 people are running. they are dying to get some attention somehow. the craziest proposal. >> that's the wrong way to get attention. brian: that's what i think. who knows? steve: isn't that ultimately buying votes? >> in my opinion yes, it is. like andrew yang who wants to give $1,000 a month to every american giving money

buying votes. ridiculous. brian: when do we watch you. >> 9:00 eastern sharp. brian: when do we see you on fox nation. >all day every day. steve: bernie sanders is slamming millionaires on the campaign trail. what happens when millennials find out bernie is really rich? he is a millionaire, too. >> it is very hypocritical. constantly preaching about, you know, billionaires, billionaires being the problem. but, you know, he himself is one. >> definitely sounds hypocritical. the latest innovation from xfinity

he is a millionaire. >> came out this week that he is a millionaire actually himself. are you surprised by that. >> a little bit. >> why? >> doesn't seem like the type. >> i mean, i had no idea but, i don't know, is he just like a classic career politician. i feel like obviously he has got too long millionaire. >> campus reform media director cabot phillips spoke to those students at the university of new hampshire to get their take on bernie sanders millionaire status. he joins us now from d.c. hey, cabot. >> thanks for having me on. ainsley: you are welcome. bernie sanders has called wealthy people and major corporations he calls them greedy but then we learned when he released his tax returns that he is millionaire, too. there is nothing wrong with that but, is he calling wealthy people greedy. so you went to the campus. and what did you find? >> it was absolutely striking to see how many young people were willing to admit that it was hypocritical. not only has he maligned the 1% and talked about how evil it is to become rich. actually said it was quote immoral for a u.s. senator to become a millionaire. now when students find that

hypocritical. watch when i ask them with that in mind? >> i think it is very hypocritical. constantly preaching, about you know, the billionaires, millionaires being the problem. but, you know, he himself is one. >> that definitely sounds hypocritical to be advocating for those type of things but also be a millionaire. >> there is a lot of social iniquity created by the income gap. he is a part of that. >> a lot of these candidates have a ton of money and love to take away money from the middle class. >> this is the embodiment of what socialism is. i'm glad many of these young people got to see that most means government bureaucrats at the top telling everyone else how to live and how evil wealth is. amassing quietly themselves while trying to tax everyone else. good to see hypocrisy. i do think this is going to hurt bernie in the big picture in 2020. i have spoken to thousands of students campus leadership reform talked about authenticity how he practices what he preaches and people realize that evil

1% which he often maligns is he now squarely in is going to play a role people can't trust him as much as they think. i do think this will be a talking point people going out after him and pointing out the hypocrisy in his statements. ainsley: if you look at the polls. joe biden is giving him a run for his money. we will see how they actually vote in the primary. thanks so much. good to see you, cabot. okay. thanks. big final hour straight ahead. senator marsha blackburn, dana loesch and tim langone both here live. and you look amazingly comfortable. when your v-neck looks more like a u-neck... . . . .

baby. steve: will feel like it today. will be in the '70s. starting gloomy out there. hang on, folks. brian: if you have tear away sleeves, tear them off. you will be hot especially if you workout doors. if you have a chance to go indoors yesterday, a big screen or nashville where you watch the draft have a chance to see the attorney general really go under scrutiny for about 10 to 15 hours. at which time every democrat was enraged, trying to get him to admit he is lying for the president. steve: he testified yesterday. he will not testify before the house judiciary committee today because they had a vote yesterday. they were deciding they would tack on extra hour at end of the hearing where house lawyers could query the attorney general. they have a lot of people scratching their head. why would they need to do that. 24 democrats on the judiciary committee. 18 are lawyers. why do you need a 19th

asking questions. ainsley: 41 individuals. 41 lawmakers sit on this committee. they will be asking five minutes of questions each. they're saying that is not enough time. that is like a three-hour session they will have to ask their questions. and most of them are attorneys. they don't think they can ask questions. if you asked a question, and i were congressman. brian: they make up the format. easily could have done a format give their time to one male or female who happens to be on committee. whoever that is. when you turn it over to staffers, that is why the attorney general who volunteered to come up, i'm not coming. everyone thought there was last minute deal. they will not do it. here is what took place yesterday. >> but i think history will judge you harshly. >> you have not only put your own credibility into question, but seem to be giving sanction to behavior through the language you used in that press

conference you held. >> you lied. and now we know. being attorney general of the united states is a sacred trust. you have betrayed that trust. america deserves better. you should resign. >> and you slandered this man from top to bottom. ainsley: that was lindsey graham, that last one. he was a republican. he was defending william barr after mazie hirono said you need to resign. you lied. steve: president give people to pardons. >> you. ainsley: you know hoe i'm talking about. i thought i was hear to talk about. brian: talking about michael cohone saying i will take care of you. it came out of left field. nobody watched. he worked with rod rosenstein during this whole investigation. he joined us a little while ago, says i can't believe what i just saw. >> that was absolutely

appalling. bill barr knows more about the law, the department of justice and the job of attorney general than any of the democrats up there grandstanding trying to trip him up. the job of mueller was to collect evidence, review the evidence, come to factual conclusions. did they want barr to ignore factual conclusions come to his own? what would democrats have said at that point. brian: he was referring to the fact that kamala harris said why did you not read underlying documents. a million pages. two million pages of underlying documents that were analyzed course of past 22 months? you want him to do that in matter of weeks in order to come in front of you guys? are you crazy. makes no sense. she is being lauded for the direction which she questioned. ainsley: mueller said in that letter he was upset the way the media portrayed the summary. it wasn't that he was upset with the way it was written. he wished obstruction charge was explain ad little more how they

came to that conclusion. steve: at the conclusion people have been calling for mr. mueller to show up in front of same committee yesterday. lindsey graham says i will not call him up. i will write him a letter. did mr. barr say anything during testimony today that was inaccurate. if it was your chance to clear the air. if it is i will report back to the committee. otherwise he said the issue is over. brian: for the senate, yeah. you expect to see him in the house. they want to drag this on. democratic candidates who asked him to resign. i don't see him happening. that is me. >> running for president. brian: new health scare overnight for migrants. how do we know that? we have someone on the ground named griff jenkins. griff, you're in mexico. reporter: it has been a busy morning. let me sew you what is happening here. these are many families coming because it is visittation today. they want to see what is going on there. there were at least two escape

attempts. they say it is overcrowded, conditions are bad. we had ambulance activity inside the gate. three different ambulances going in and going out. was it a fight that broke out or was it sickness because there is a concern in the mexican press about sickness. rumors of ebola. mexican officials knocking that down saying there are no cases ebola. confirming cases of measles, syphilis among other things. residents of the towns that caravans go through to their wits end. they are frustrated. here is what one gentleman had to say. >> they feel frustrated having these people come over to our country, especially over here. they have having a hard time. then people coming over, i'm not saying they're taking our bed for us but [bleep]. they start robbing people.

reporter: this is hitting the mexican lawmakers as well. yesterday one senator of the mexican congress calling for sanitation walls. he wants built on the southern and northern border of mexico. guys? steve: griff, i have a question for you given the fact there have been health scares and three ambulances came in the night. what sort of medical facilities do they have there at the detention center? because i know in this country we made a lot of the fact when migrants come into the country if they do need medical attention we try to get them the best available nearby? >> great question. the answer is we don't know because they won't give us access inside. we have not been even given any indication from health officials for two days now we have been in contact with the immigration officials that run this shelter and they're not telling us what the conditions are. three doctors came out of here in the wee hours this morning. they refused to talk to us. said you are going to have to

talk to the press folks with the immigration facility. we're trying to do but we don't know. we followed the caravans before last year in october, in january, and in the recent months we had some sense but we just don't know what they're dealing with now. as soon as there was an ebola scare it certainly panicked people we talked to. officials knocking that down, saying it is not the case. ainsley: very scary and dangerous. thank you, griff. steve: meanwhile let's talk 2020. kristin gillibrand would like to be the next president. currently she is senator from the great state of new york. she has proposed something called democracy dollars. essentially what they are, they are vouchers for certain amount of money that people would be able to donate to the politicians of their choice. ainsley: here is a description from. under gillibrand's plan every eligible voter could register vouchers to donate up to $100 in

primary election or in a general election either all at once, in 10-dollar increments to each candidate over time. each candidate would get separate pool for house, presidential and senate contests for total of $600 in total. brian: this seems less than brilliant or layman. if you're a field of 21 you have to stand out somehow. is this way? we asked stuart varney. >> what she is trying to do is get big money out, private money out of elections. and at the same time get socialists elected that is who she thinks will take money, vote for socialists, get socialists in using taxpayer money. i can't imagine this will fly. it is giving money, buying votes. ainsley: so bizarre. you work hard for your dollars. this would take the tax dollars, giving them to politicians, lining pockets of politicians. if you want to donate to

politicians fine, but our government shouldn't take our money to line pockets of politicians. steve: it would limit amount of money politicians get from any single person. candidates accepting money would have to forego donations larger than $200 per donor. according to her clean election plan she posted. brian: that is what the new york senator does to stand out amongst the crowd. does it work for you? believe it or not moving up the polls elizabeth warren. mayor pete was colling on strong seemed to plateau. in south china sea did you witness what is going on? have you seen the economic programs he put together. even mitt romney tweeted out, joe this will not wear well. i don't think it will. steve: joe. brian: ten minutes after the hour. hey, carley. carley: former unc charlotte

hearing. marsha blackburn joins us from a foggy d.c. with an inside look. senator, what did we learn yesterday? >> we learned the mueller report stands. we accept that. there was no collusion from donald trump and his team. we also learned, steve, that the democrats still can't accept donald trump won. he is serving well. he is executing on what the american people want to see done. but there is still, they can't get over the 2016 results. steve: what did you make of the fact that somebody leaked "the washington post" a letter that mueller signed talking about to bill barr saying essentially, i don't like the way the public is interpreting the mueller report given your four-page statement that he put out? then mr. barr put something else out. mr. barr, the attorney general referred to that letter as, well it was a snitty, probably written by a staff member?

>> i think general barr was correct about that. it was probably staff driven. here is the thing, if bob mueller did not like the way the media and the public was respondinging to the report,. bill: barr can't do anything about that. nor can i, nor can anyone else. that is the media with their response. what we can do something about making certain that we continue to investigate how we had a political, opo research document that ended up being used to get a fisa warrant. then a campaign was spied upon. steve: while the democrats went after the obstruction and also the mueller letter, the republicans, for the most part were interested in talking about the, you know the very beginning of the mueller report and steele dossier, the fisa thing. you're interested in whether or not or not there was a corrupt culture at the highest levels of the fbi and department of justice, right? >> absolutely because tennesseans say to me every day,
