>> instead of wasting time, energy, taxpayer dollars on partisan stunts and hoaxes and witchhunts, democrats should be focused on building up our country. did you see what just happened? know collusion, no obstruction. know anything. >> this after the house judiciary committee took a step towards holding william barr in contempt sending it to the full house for a vote and prompting the white house executive privilege for the first time, jerry never declaring it a constitutional crisis. >> this is an attack on the essence of our democracy and we must oppose this with every fiber of our being. we talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. we are now in it. we are now in a constitutional crisis. >> republicans on the committee blasted the move driven by politics.

>> i think it is all about trying to destroy william barr because democrats are nervous he's going to get to the bottom of everything. is going to find out how and why this investigation started in the first place. >> reporter: the doj responding rather than allowing negotiations to continue chairman nadler short-circuited these efforts by proceeding with politically and motivated contempt vote. now it is up to nancy pelosi when and whether to schedule a full vote on contempt and get ready for the lawsuit against bar and the doj for those documents. >> an attorney in washington dc, thank you so much. appreciate it as always. democrats demanding william barr release the unredacted mueller report despite not having legal authority to do so. he doesn't have that authority. congressman from georgia and house judiciary committee never doug collins says nadler is

trying to peach william barr for refusing to break the law. >> when you have the chairman of the judiciary committee something to start a dialogue with that is crazy, that is not what it is for, not to prop up your positioning but to get documents and he asked for everything including what the attorney general can't give him, he is asking the attorney general to break the law. you know what this was about? listens what hank johnson from georgia said the we got to get the documents and when asked about the timeframe he said we don't have 400 days. people need to know what is happening, rush to judgment because they don't like what you saw in florida where the american public see the president who is leading -- shannon: the legal tug-of-war could stretch well into 2020 and the election. the last time the house held and attorney general in contempt, eric holder.

shannon: fox news on, south korea military reporting north korea has fired at least one unidentified projectile launching the second such launch in 5 days. where does this put us on denuclearization negotiations? here to react is doctor rebecca grant. thank you for joining us this morning. let's begin with your take on this breaking news being called an unidentified projectile. what do you think? >> those are significant words. when they say unidentified projectile we immediately conclude that this is not a big intermediates or long-range ballistic missile. that would have a different heat signature. it looks to me like these are the same rocket launchers we have seen north korea fire several weeks ago and a few days ago.

shannon: we do know through north korea and their state media they describe the earlier firing of rocket artillery as a short range ballistic missile that happened on saturday. regular and defensive military exercise, they ridiculed south korea for criticizing the launches. >> i don't like to see them doing anything but it is springtime, they usually do military maneuvers at this time and if you look back to what they were doing in the spring of 2017 when they really were launching long-range intercontinental submarine launched tests and all kinds of things this is much less. kim is trying to stay active, trying to keep it within the short range self defense type of weapon so that he shows he is still active but not provoking more maximum pressure or return to military pressure from the

us. shannon: trying not to provoke the trying to send some sort of message to donald trump especially on the heels of his meeting with vladimir putin and russia? >> kim is always messaging. he is messaging to his own military. these tests help him be the supreme leader and keep control and he is reminding donald trump and others that north korea demand security guarantees. they intend to keep a lot of these conventional type weapons that we see being tested and he's making his point that he wants security guarantees. not a positive sign but not a disruption to the process. shannon: not a disruption to efforts in terms of diplomacy and denuclearization. >> that's right and we are waiting to see what will happen next with denuclearization. we need to see a lot more steps. things are quiet on that front.

talks are going on behind the scenes. all we are seeing upfront is projectile tests which militarily don't mean much. >> donald trump turning up the heat on iran. what are your thoughts on that? >> buckle up. it's going to get bumpy with iran. donald trump's main objective is to use maximum economic pressure. a year ago, the iran deal he pulled out of the iran deal, we are seeing an increase of sanctions. iran has started to walk out on the ledge. they are beginning a form of nuclear blackmail saying if they don't have some agreements in 60 days they will start enriching uranium beyond the low amounts they used in their reactor. it is a worrying sign. shannon: in terms of reaction

from our end, the united states, what about other countries? what reaction a repercussions could happen to iran if they follow through? >> we have seen a lot of europeans pool their business away and the economic net is closing in so tightly that iran can't use the international banking system. we see a cutback in oil and other things. the idea is maximum pressure and get rouhani and the supreme ayatollah to make some changes. there could be military repercussions as well which is why we saw mike pompeo talk in britain visit iraq to make sure everyone in the region is aware we have got to watch closely in case iran tries to lash out. shannon: we need cooperation on that front, thank you for joining us with breaking news this morning, thanks. the time is 19 minutes after the top of the our. eric swalwell sparking outrage

shannon: 2020 democratic hopeful congressman eric swalwell facing backlash after comparing 9/11 and pearl harbor with the mueller report. carly shimkus with serious xm 115 here with online reaction.

>> doesn't make sense to me how he was comparing the two. >> congressman swalwell posted the tweet yesterday, donald trump's relationship with vladimir putin, remember the time pearl harbor was bombed and fdr called the emperor of japan or the time the twin towers dropped and bush thanked usama bin laden? why did donald trump call vladimir putin after the mueller report was released? that comment backfiring. many took to twitter to point out the obvious. ryan says one of these events is not like the other. can you guess which one it is? another twitter user says i will take thousands of people murdered for 1000 and greg said i needed english to english translation here. people are upset the russia collusion storyline has ended, they are going to such extremes to keep the narrative alive. >> someone attempting to go

viral and not responsible for his words. we do know the way to go viral. asked todd pyro. he has gone viral with this. >> he was at a diner in wisconsin and he has gone viral, people were distracted. listen to what he was saying because look at the eggs on his plate. it looks like he is trying to win an eating contest. patrick says that was the reason for the interview. another twitter user - >> look at this, give me all the bacon and eggs you have. give me a lot of bacon and eggs,

give me all the bacon and eggs you have was a quote from a tv show. >> it is ten eggs. >> that is funny. living on the sunny side of life. shannon: we need to find him and ask him. >> do you scramble the eggs? heather: may be using bodybuilder or maybe not. thank you so much. if you are watching let us know. >> going viral. heather: philadelphia's top prosecutor wants to stop charging drug users as criminals. >> different from carrying a bunch of drugs, it is possession. >> is this really about the law? why our next guest says this move is purely political. - in a crossfit gym, we're really engaged

heather: you are watching "fox and friends first" and we are back with a fox news alert. moments ago south korea's military reporting north korea firing an unidentified projectile. >> reporter: details coming in, in formation very limited the details from south korean military. north korea's second launch in five days. experts say the missile resembled a russian weapon. the rogue regime calling that launch a regular defense of military exercise. north korea criticizing the south after it condemned those launches. the missile launches could be north korea's first ballistic missile launch and 500 days. the recent missile test comes after donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un met for two summits, the last one in vietnam in february came to

stalled talks about kim jong un's refusal to denuclearize. what we do know is this launch took place or went off from the western part of north korea and those are the only details coming in. back at home, a vigil following a deadly shooting in a colorado school. a student who died trying to protect his fellow classmates being honored as a suspect, faces a judge for the first time. matt napolitano has more. >> reporter: one of two suspect in the colorado school shooting showing up in court wednesday, one day after he's accused of opening fire at a charter school in denver killing one classmate and injuring eight others. >> i want to make something very very clear. he died a legend. he died a trooper.

>> reporter: dennis erickson sitting between two lawyers wearing a red jumpsuit, had his head down during most of the court appearance. >> questions about that. if any. >> reporter: erickson is being held on suspicion of one count of first-degree murder in 29 counts of attended first-degree murder after deliberation. the sheriff's office says erickson and another student, a juvenile walked into the ranch through an entrance with no metal detectors and started shooting in two separate classrooms. some students charged the shooters without provocation. >> i got to see two regular high school kids, two really awesome people jump into action without hesitation and i was more than lucky to join them in doing that action. >> reporter: arrived on the

scene within minutes and arrested both suspects. >> once at the school they engaged suspects and started to rescue the children that were injured. >> reporter: erickson will remain in custody until his next court appearance scheduled for friday. matt napolitano, fox news. heather: philadelphia prosecutors pushing to stop charging drug users as criminals. >> one of the things we are looking at is diverging all position of drug cases, position is different from dealing, different -- to deliver later. it seems to make a lot more sense to hold them accountable in ways that do not require a conviction. we are very close. heather: is this just about decriminalization with their political move ahead of 2020? it might not be a great idea. we appreciate it.

good to start. why would this not be a good idea. >> when i worked in narcotics, a lot of cities especially in nashville you would arrest someone, they would go to court, go through the court proceedings and the judge would suspend their sentence and say we will suspend your sentence, give you probation. if you go to a drug treatment program. is where the problem lies. the person is free to go, their first choice is not to go to the treatment program but to get more drugs. unless you are holding someone accountable and can mandate and control the drug treatments divergent programs, in my opinion it will not work because the first instinct is to get more drugs. shannon: 36 jurisdictions along with philadelphia have adopted

drug crime diversion programs. what are those about? >> that is what it is. let's, instead of putting you in the system and i go back to the clintons in the 90s when the clintons came up with their tough on crime laws, serving 30 plus year sentences for simple possession. should we be at that point? absolutely not. in order to make sure no one goes to these programs part of the incarceration should incorporate that as they are incarcerated and talk about reducing their sentence are letting them go at that point but to not charge them with something when it is still a crime, no. we should be going after the bigger picture. heather: the bigger picture has to do with elections and 2020. we can show you states pushing

for felons voting rights, iowa, kentucky, minnesota, new mexico and was we were talking about, bill that clear the records any type of drug record, pennsylvania, utah, connecticut, california and michigan. what about that? is there a political agenda playing in here? >> absolutely. here is the thing. i don't want to upset anybody under this circumstance was when i was dealing with someone hooked on crack cocaine or methamphetamines, they were not a hardened criminal if you will i can assure you the first thing on their mind was not getting to the voting polls so even if these laws do pass there is no guarantee people are going to vote because i won't be charged with a crime. i will go to this program. that is not their mentality here. i don't think it will get the votes they are looking for.

heather: something to be aware of as it makes its way through the country in different states. thank you. have a good day. the time is 20 minutes until the top of the hour and house democrats threatening to impeach william barr after the president invoked executive privilege on the mueller report. >> the impeachment of william barr on the table? >> nothing is ever off the table. heather: are next guest says they are making a mockery of the rule of law. ♪ there ain't no easy way out ♪

heather: house judiciary committee voting to hold william barr in contempt of congress but some democrats floating taking

that step further. >> impeachment of william barr on the table? >> nothing is ever off the table. heather: do democrats have a legal leg to stand on? here's the george w. bush it ministration's robert charles, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. let's ask your initial thoughts of what happened yesterday. >> iran a congressional committee for five years as a staff director and i tell you what we are witnessing now is playground politics. let's be clear about the context. attorney general william barr is one of the most high integrity members of the dc bar. what you are seeing on the other side is the bullying, political bullying by democrats who didn't get the report they wanted. review the facts, the president produced 1.5 million document and did not claim executive privilege on any of them. he produced every witness

without claiming executive privilege. he turned this around and the attorney general is protecting grand jury material. a president has claimed executive privilege, president obama did so on the fast and furious investigation. he is claiming executive privilege on behalf of william barr for grand jury material that for 200 years we have not given up to the united states congress was the only case that exists in the law is rocksolid behind the president and attorney general, the only time that material has been given up is a case a number of years later, no chance of damaging witnesses and it is federal rule 60. there is no exception for congress to get that material. the most egregious part of this is to hear members of the united states congress threatening to put in prison which is what they have done, saying they would put him in prison for contempt. it is to the point of not just being sophomoric but gulags politics. we don't do that in this

country. the 20 what are they doing? when they know that ag barr isn't able to release this information anyway, he would be breaking the law if he were to do it and the argument jerry nadler and the rest of them have gone over and read what is available to them at this point. it is a small portion of the entire report anyway. >> they are trying to compel him to produce grand jury material which they are not entitled to do and threatening him with impeachment and imprisonment and to me it is absurd. the american sees through this, playground politics and we are sick of it. that is the average american's response to this and the law is with the attorney general.

heather: this has all happened before in terms of another country trying to interfere in our election. this specifically with china trying to influence, are there lessons for us today from what happened to that and how that has happened. >> foreign countries influence every election we had and so disruption and democracy because we are a free country and have a lot of open discourse. in 1996 the chinese did contribute money to the dnc, democratic national committee, contributed to the clinton campaign and congressional races, the attorney general was asked by the head of the fbi and others at the justice department to open an investigation, to have a special prosecutor and she declined, didn't produce a report, they didn't do anything else even though the facts were stronger than to do that and at the end of the day congress said we are not going to let a foreign power disunited us and

divide us on ourselves. congressional democrats need to take a deep breath, jerry nadler hasn't practiced law for 30 years. you need to take a deep breath and say there's a better way to do this was the average american has all the facts in front of them, not going to change their minds. they are trying to discredit the attorney general because he has another investigation pending and they won't like what comes out of that. heather: regardless of who was targeted russia has won. look at all the discord they have sowed in america as a result of this. thank you so much for joining us, appreciate it. time is 15 minutes until the top of the our. bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio cortez teaming up to push a new bill that will impact your wallet. is amazon's alexa spying on your kids? a watchdog said is true and investigators are getting involved.
