killing it until he stumbled and face planted right into the dirt. trying to get up. come on. have a good day. rob: see you on friday. ♪ ♪ brian: this is billy joel this is billy joel live. steve: it is billy joel live because we are live, live from study year f. in new york city we salute the piano man billy joel 70 years ago today in the bronx, new york. ainsley: lives out on long island married to christie brinkley. prepares shows on madison square garden. toba our sound guy who we adore is going to hear him tonight. i said how was your birthday today he said continuing.

janice dean's birthday today. brian: she is going to be scrambling into position shortly. billy joel born in the bronx but reared in hicksville, long island where he had an upbringing that was not only around music but he even kind of planned suicide at a young age. ainsley: really? steve: his father classically trained pianist. mother pushed him to play the piano. three bands by the time he was old enough to drive and do you know what inspired him as a musician? he saw the beatles on the ed sullivan show which was filmed live right up the street and that changed everything. brian: gets a dream to actually be neighbors with paul mccartney out in the hamptons. ainsley: i saw him uptown girl christie brinkley was on the front row and the camera zoomed in on her. the audience was zoomed in on her the entire time so pretty. brian: if you have to break up with your wife have their relationship. they get along great even

though she was two or three wives ago. steve: happy birthday, billy joel. the president of the united states was down in the panhandle in panama city last night and can hardly pick for the democrats to pick their nominee so he can start running. he had a wide ranging rally as they all are here is a snippet of you who these investigations on capitol hill actually help him. >> you got some real beauties, crazy bernie. a choice between slippy joe and crazy bernie. [laughter] and i will take any of them. let's just pick somebody please and let's start this thing. they think the more they can hurt us the worse they make us look. i think they are making us look better personally, i really do. [applause] >> they want to do investigations instead of investments. they want to do what they are doing which looks so foolish and maybe i read it

wrong, but i think it drives us right on to victory in 2020 because people get it. brian: one of the biggest mistakes i think all these democrats are doing saying the is not good. i watched senator klobuchar, i am going to rip up the tax plan i'm not feeling it the stats go the other way. when you don't acknowledge what's going good, no one is going to listen to you when you say what's bad. ainsley: down when they were hit in the panhandle by cat 5 hurricane, people are really worried about it and they need more money. the president pledged to give millions more dollars to help those people down in florida. and he also talked about china. he said don't worry about that. they are not holding up their end of the bargain. we will take care of it he also talked about democratic candidates. he went through each of them and called them all some names. steve: of course he thinks and there was a poll that came out in the last week or

so that shows at this point in the campaign republicans are actually more energized. and as it turns out. i think republicans think the more the democrats try to go after them with the investigations that helps him. yesterday the house judiciary committee voted along party lines 24-16 to hold the attorney general bill barr in contempt because he would not give an unredacted copy of the mueller report. here's jerry nadler talking about what big trouble america is in. >> there can be no higher stakes than this attempt to air gait all power to the executive branch away from congress and more important away from the american people. we have talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. we are now in it we are now in a constitutional crisis. ainsley: the president was saying as you heard in that sound bite at the rally he said investigations instead of investments. people at home are not going

to like that. his approval rating is better than it has ever been. voted along party lines. clearly political. doj political theatrics voted 24-16 and now goes to the full house for a vote. brian: jerry nadler is not telling the truth. there is no way we are in a constitutional crisis. his request is something i don't even think he wants fulfilled. if he wanted to find out what was in the unredacted mueller report, americans and anybody interested could read 434 pages only 6% redacted. now, for special lawmakers like him, he could get 98% of the unredacted. he doesn't have a line or a passage that he needs revealed. he just wants something to poke the attorney general with you about substantially he wants to go after the president. so with the redaction that request, and if the president did, excuse me, if the attorney general did turn over the grand jury testimony he would be breaking the law. steve: it's really easy to solve.

congress just changed the law because the attorney general is following the law. ainsley: they are asking him to break the law and release the whole thing. steve: you want to change the law, congress, go ahead and do that. ainsley: political theatrics like the doj says. steve: going to wind up in a federal court. what's interesting it t. could go to the supreme court. ainsley: if he did release the whole thing, then they would say he broke the law. lose, lose. steve: this is going to be adjudicated for a very long time. if it winds up in front of the supreme court, that is -- maybe that's what he is talking about a crisis because the supreme court has never considered a case where the congressional demands for information can overcome executive privilege. chris christie looked at history and he said this about what's going on on the democratic side. >> don't get breathless about, this okay? eric holder was held in contempt of congress over fast and furious. what happened from that? absolutely nothing. because the prosecution for contempt of congress is then referred to the justice department and eric holder

said yeah, i would prefer not to be prosecuted. and that was the end of that and no u.s. attorneys working for that attorney general were going to prosecute him for contempt of congress. so, this is not unprecedented. in fact, it's not unprecedented in the last decade. steve: the department of justice has policies on the book that say you do not bring criminal charges against your own department. brian: right. if you are going in front of a grand jury and you are not charged and you are doing them a favor by telling the truth as you know it, and then you get your name exposed and get sullied because of your willingness to do what many people think your obligation as a citizen is to do, i will go and give my testimony but just keep my identity sealed and now all of the sudden it's being revealed because i don't know jerry nadler is trying to please his base or take a shot at the president. ainsley: just think about it. he is the head of the doj. the attorney general, the top law enforcement, top justice guy, okay? he is following the law by not releasing the full report. and they are saying they want him to break the law

and if he doesn't break the law, then they will hold him in contempt, maybe arrest him. who knows. but if you listen to the democrats -- back remember when chris christie was talking about eric holder? do you know what adam schiff said yesterday? we had no choice but to vote for contempt. listen to what he and other democrats said back in 2012 when eric holder was held in contempt. >> the idea that the republicans have to bring this contempt of congress against the attorney general, the republicans are contemptible in what they are doing today. >> they still do not have any facts to support this illegitimate investigation. >> what we are doing today is simply a partisan abuse of the contempt power. >> the attorney general has cooperated to the nth degree. this is not about the facts. this is about politics. >> to our republican colleagues, shame on you. >> shame on you. >> shame on you.

>> [chanting shame on you] brian: two or three times but eventually they all said it together and they all felt that shame. the eric holder situation was just worked out. yesterday unbelievable they say shame on you and everything. this is after a 22 month investigation and 434 pages. now they say they want the millions of underlying documents they can't possibly read and they are trying to say robert mueller who they worship and lauded they could do a better job investigating than his team. steve: right. because they had said we are going to wait for the mueller report. finally got it not what they wanted. the other development yesterday, the house intel committee subpoenaed. brian: unbelievable. steve: all the materials related to the foreign intelligence, counterintelligence element of the special counsel investigation. why would they be doing that? well, we know that very shortly the inspector general at the department of justice is going to be coming out with their findings about the very beginning. ainsley: how it all started. steve: jim jordan feels this is all connected in this

way. >> bill barr is following the law and what's his reward? democrats are going to hold him in contempt. i don't think today is actually about getting information. i don't think it's about getting the unredacted mueller report. i don't think last week's hearing was actually about having staff question the attorney general. i think it's as my colleague said earlier. i think it's all about trying to destroy bill barr because democrats are nervous is he going to get to the bottom of everything. is he going to find out how and why this investigation started in the first place. brian: democrats should want the answer to all of this. they had nothing to do with it, i wouldn't think. here's the thing they are not implicated. steve: do you know that? brian: democrats now heading unthese committees are trying to find out what happened in 2016. so, if the president -- if the previous administration is in trouble, that doesn't do with adam schiff or jerry nadler. why shouldn't they be curious about what the fbi and cia and dni were doing back then? they should be very curious

because it could all turn on them one day. ainsley: they know if something comes out about a democrat, then this president looks even better. and then in 2020 they could lose the vote. steve: that's jim jordan's theory. is there anything to it? time will tell. meanwhile, the time now 6:11. jillian joins us with news from the north korean peninsula. jillian: that's right. go to the fox news alert. just moments ago. south korea reporting north korea has fired two suspected short range missiles. it's north korea's second launch in just five days. the rogue regime calling the first a regular and defensive military exercise. president trump and kim jong un walked away from their second summit back in february in vietnam without an agreement. we will keep you updated. thousands gathering for a visual student killed at high school wounded outside of denver.

>> driving our whole agenda ask a jobs boom that is historic. we just passed the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in american history,

the largest. steve: there you have got the president in the panhandle of florida last night touting his economic success including tax reforms which helped a record take a look 41 states cover collections from the recession revenue wise. despite this some states still face big obstacles few finding 10 states consistently spending more than they are collecting. and what do they have in common? most of the states are blue. here to react senior fellow of the national taxpayers union mattie duppler. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: why are the blue states having trouble. >> tale older than time less you take in the more you are going to have problems. why did the recovery take so long. bad federal policy at the federal level leading the way. a lot of these states hadn't learned. tax returns have forced a lot of these states realigning their budgets with what their actual fiscal expectations are as a result you saw 41 states now

have revenue streams coming in over those recession levels. that is so important to get states back on healthy footing. they won't stay there long if they can't get spending under control. steve: one is pensions. we have a graphic that shows that. local government contribution 360 billion in 2007. and fast forward to today. $1.5 trillion. they made a lot of deals with people that they really can't keep but they have got to by law. >> exactly. when you talk about bad federal policy leading the way. this is prime example of that. with the stimulus package and federal programs in the recession, what that did was encouraged state and local governments to hire at expedited pace. that meant more employees and more pensions. of course, when those federal dollars ran out states on the hook for those liabilities. steve: new york where i'm sitting right now saw personal income tax collections drop by 6.1% last year. so many people doing well

are saying enough with new york taxes. i'm moving to florida. i'm moving to arizona. >> yep. over the last 10 years the counties that have grown the most are the ones sitting in states without income taxes. states like new york, connecticut, california, they are seeing a shrinking tax base because, again, they are not learning lesson. you need people there to pay taxes but you can't punish them for being successful if you want them to stay. steve: exactly. cautionary tale. mattie duppler thank you for joining us. >> thank you. steve: what do you think about that? friends@foxnews.com. prosecutor wants to stop charging drug users as criminals. >> seems to me to make a lot more sense to hold them accountable in ways that do not require a conviction. steve: okay. so is free pass really a good idea? a debate on that coming up next. ♪ anyway you want it ♪ that's the way you need it ♪ any way you want it ♪ ♪

diverting all possession of drugs cases. possession is different than dealing. it's different than carrying a bunch of drugs that you intend to sell or deliver later. it's just possession. it seems to me to make a lot more sense to hold them accountable in ways that do not require a conviction. we are very close. brian: if finalized the plan would mean anyone arrested or charged for having a small amount of drugs would not be jailed or have a record. instead they might go to treatment or to do community service. would this be the right approach or is it a free pass on possession, too easy on crime. here to debate it michael barnes chairman of the center for u.s. policy. also served counsel of the office white house drug policy under george w. bush and luke, senior advisor for smart approaching to marijuana. luke, start with you, do you like this approach? >> you know, i have a lot of concerns with this approach. you know, obviously we don't want to give people records, but, on the same token, you know, making -- having these policies that make drug use

seem like it's no big deal is sends the wrong message to our country and generation. right now i'm from colorado. we just legalized mushrooms yesterday in the city of denver. these policies that say you know what? this is more of a medical problem. not a criminal problem. they are missing the point. it's not either/or we can do both there are drug courts. we have ways to address treatment and drug issues medically while also discouraging use and having our criminal laws. so, i have a lot of concerns about this policy because i think sends the wrong message to our youth and also the wrong message to our country. brian: michael, he has some reasonable objections. >> what he is talking about is different from what is he talking about from philadelphia. this is not just decriminals. this program would be prearrest diversification for people nonviolent or who have mental health or substance abuse disorders. they save lives. these programs have been endorsed by the international association of chiefs of police. the trump administration is trying to expand prearrest diversification programs is actually giving grant money so what this means is cops

on the street who actually know mental illness and substance abuse better than anybody else, they have the discretion, based on their experience, to divert somebody to treatment the crime remains the same. the penalty could remain the same if it were somebody who has also committed some other violent crime or is not in need of treatment. this is the type of program that actually will save lives, reduce costs, reduce drug use as well as reduce crime. keep people out of jail and keep families together. brian: in a way, luke, what he is saying prearrest. instead of arresting, that's considered a prearrest. >> i think obviously we should have programs, nobody should just go straight to jail on their first offense, certainly. we should focus on ways of educating people. i think the concern on the other side of this is that if we don't have some sort of stick in place, people are going to think the drug use is no big deal. that's what's happening. >> brian, this is similar to drug courts which luke has already endorsed. that gives the judge the discretion to say you can either go to treatment or

put you in jail. have you got to adhere to what the rules are this is a similar program except the prosecutors and the police officers are the ones who are saying we think, in our discretion and our experience that this person is better off getting mental health or substance use treatment. we still reserve the right to file charges and send the person to the criminal justice system. >> right. but sending a message though that this is just a medical problem is not the right way to go. we have to let the public know that this is something that should not be encouraged. it should be discouraged and our youth certainly should. >> no we agree on prevention, absolutely. brian: yeah, here's the thing. what you are trying to say is we can't quantify how many people don't do drugs because of fear of a penalty. because we don't know because it's inside everyone's motivation. >> brian, when people are actually using drugs, and overdosing and dying because the drugs are tainted with fentanyl, there is a reason now not to use drugs that pretty much anyone who would

be interested in partaking in black market is aware of. so there is penalties at this point the opioid crisis is severe. brian: i think the three of us know that i don't know how many 16, 17, and 18-year-olds have fully digested that even though it says one time could be the death of you. you have lost classmates. another thing to keep in mind to for another time a lot of people don't have insurance to go to rehab for more to 10 or 15 days. government can put you in 30 top notch place that might be the difference. thanks so much. we will debate again health insurance. very reasonable debate we all have the same objective. coming up straight ahead, with the border already at a breaking point staggering new numbers about the number of border crosses this is unbelievable. griff jenkins who lives and breathes this with the record breaking numbers is next. months.

[chanting build that wall] ainsley: they were chanting build that wall and they were chanting four more years. the president demanding immigration changes after a record breaking month down at the border. steve: more than 100,000 migrants apprehended or turned away in the month of april just much like march. brian: they were building the wall and they are. griff jenkins is live in washington as the border crisis worsens these numbers are staggering, griff. griff: they sure are. brian, ainsley and steve good morning. only seven months into this fiscal year the number of

apprehensions on the southwest border so far have surpassed the total for every fiscal year since 2009. think about that for a second. that's why officials like border patrol's chief was on the hill yesterday sounding the alarm. >> as of april 30th, we apprehended 460,294 people on the southern border. in the last week, we had our highest single day over 5200 apprehensions. we cannot address this crisis by simply shifting more resources or building more facilities. it's like holding a bucket under a faucet. it doesn't matter how many buckets you give me if we can't turn off the flow. >> let's break down those startling april numbers. 109,144 apprehensions and municipals more than 98,000 of those arrest. family units surging out of control accounting for more than 58,000 and nearly 9,000 unaccompanied children. now on that single day chief provost mentions 2500

occurred in one single sector the rio grande valley. the new tents they erected were full in just two days. so what is different this time guys? highest monthly total since april of 2007. at the height of the mostly mexican, mostly male migration. now this crisis is central americans traveling in family units which we cannot quickly return and have no place to put them bottom line agents are telling me that on this pace, we could sees a many as a million apprehensions this year. steve: unbelievable. griff, thank you very much. the key there was what he said at the end. 10 years ago it was mainly males, mainly mexicans coming into the country and now it's family units or units with children because there are special rules if you have a kid you have a special hearing. ainsley: numbers so shocking to me 8897 were unaccompanied children. just in one month alone. that was in the month of april. they are coming without a

parent. brian: also important to know that the defense department has been scrambled to help out. coordinating unprecedented way with the homeland security. they have 320 more military personnel there. going to be able to do more things than they have in the past and let border personnel do their things. the army corps of engineers plan on building 256 miles of barrier. they have 63 new miles of wall that will come online. they are putting out according to the secretary of defense shanahan 63 new miles a day. steve: it does seem to help in places it's used. let's see what happens. 24 minutes now before the top of the hour. jillian has headlines for us. good morning. >> take a look at this. more than a thousand guns are found at a raid at a los angeles mansion. look at that some of them worth big bucks dating back to the civil war. atf seizing thousand sounds of rounds of ammo from the home. one man a licensed collector was arrested. is he accuse you had of illegally selling the guns out of the house. authorities say a tip led them to the home.

>> good morning. steve: judge, they were asking for the unredacted version of the mueller report. >> right. steve: by law that cannot be released to congress. >> that's correct. by law the attorney general did the right with respect to the redaction. but when you get a subpoena which is presumed valid even if it is politically motivated it's presumed valid it's a legal instrument. you can't sit on it you file a motion before the appropriate judge quash it the word we use either get rid of it. modify it or authorize me to comply with it. steve: you are talking about his compliance last week. >> yes. that's the mistake the doj made by not doing that and letting it get to this contempt stage if they had brought it before the judge i will read the redacted portions and i will decide what can be released and then the issue is over with because the judge's ruling would stand. whoever lost would would appeal. who knows if it would take the appeal if it gets to the supreme court. this is what happened in the united states vs. nixon and the supreme court ruled with

clarity. do we have a constitutional crisis? in my opinion we don't. we would have a constitutional crisis if the courts ordered the president or congress to do something and either of them defied the courts. that's the crisis. right now it's just a clash. brian: judge, do you feel as though a judge would take into account the fact that they didn't even show up to get the lightly redacted portion of the mueller report, which is up to 98% as opposed to 92%. >> i think a judge would take into account all the facts of the case. judges, the reason, you know, i was once there, the reason we are, we are, they are life-tenured they don't have to get involved in the politics. they are just concerned with whether or not the redacted materials, the public interest in them outweighs the privacy rights of those being protect you had. there are some people in there i have reason to believe whose names we don't know, who are not politicians, who are officials of the government, who risk their lives to do our work. no good would come from

revealing their names. brian: absolutely. >> there is also materials in there that i don't think is subject to executive privilege because some of it has nothing to do with communications with the president. only a judge in her chambers can look at all of that and decide. did bill barr do the right thing? am i going to authorize him to release this stuff even though the rules says you are not supposed to release it. ainsley: nancy pelosi sent down with the "the washington post" reporter talked about the investigation and trump tax returns. she said she wants to basically lock up many in the administration. listen. >> democrats have even raised the prospect of arresting the treasury secretary if he does not comply with congressional demands. >> if we were arresting all of the people in the administration. [laughter] we would have overcrowded jail situation. and i'm not for that. steve: there is a jail in the basement of congress. >> theoretically it is. it hasn't been used. that's a political statement. we all know why politicians on both sides of the aisle

make political statements. i don't know what the president's tax returns have to do with this. we are talking about the redacted portions of the mueller report. the real clash will come when the house judiciary committee subpoenas bob mueller himself and the president says i don't want i don't want you to testify. steve: clash. brian: intelligence and logic. they don't care about the unredacted redacted. no one says if i could only see behind that black rectangle i would know, my wife would be complete. >> crazy, because it's such a battle over a document that none of them have seen. brian: absolutely. >> all the best, guys. judge: where is janice? how do i have some of that cake? ainsley: she is planning the wedding. [laughter] god love you. thank you. ainsley: thank you for being with us, judge. >> i was with these coming this morning they are great guys. steve: reading the prompter. ainsley: they are going to be outside. we will talk to them next. group of police officers

president and the attorney general will continue to actually uphold the law. if anybody is overstepping, that would be chairman nadler and his committee. brian: part of the other reason why things are redacted they are doing investigations in other places. if you want to blow up those investigations which i am sure you wish to fruition. ainsley: not only that they investigated other individuals that are list new the mueller report that were innocent and so they don't want those names released. that's why the information is redacted. steve: intel sources as well. when you listen to what's really curious, remember when eric holder was held in contempt by the full house back in 2012, listen to some members of the media what they were talking about regarding eric holder and fast and furious. he refused documents as well. but, the media back in 2012 sounds exactly like a lot of republicans today. >> it just looks like more of our broken politics. vicious fights now out in the open. >> every single republican

voted to hold the attorney general in contempt over this crazy conspiracy theory. >> this is just theater. it amounts to nothing. >> a party in the congress that just about nothing to help create jobs or help people without jobs best job is to shower the obama administration with subpoenas. brian: so is it amazing to you that the same people mildly different hairstyles have taken the opposite position four years later? ainsley: when it was holder? how could they? adam schiff said this is partisan abuse. do you know what he is saying now with barr? what he said yesterday? we had no choice. steve: you know, it's politics. it's the year before an election year. the president was down. brian: that's what so sad. it should be election year. you used to say election year. now it's the year before an election year. steve: the democrats don't want donald trump to be president again. ainsley: the president says. steve: he actually joked about extending his term. ainsley: he wants them to do all of this. steve: it helps them it energizes the republicans. it energizes the president.

president has to talk about let these guys fight it out and say what they want. let them investigate. the president has to talk about the economy. people are feeling 60% approval there. the difference between eric holder situation and this situation the republicans actually really wanted eric holder's documents. they wanted to see how fast and furious started because it was a sense it started on his desks. ainsley: this one is just a stunt. didn't even read the unredacted one. steve: people died. brian: people wanted answers on that. this was a stunt. ainsley: let us know what you think friends@foxnews.com. what's coming up, steve? steve: more people are going to be talking about brian's tie because that looks very sharp. brian: i got a text message my dad always wore a clip on he hated the feeling of having a tie around his neck. ainsley: i get it. steve: very stylish. i think you just started another trend. brian: i think you did. ainsley: so weird if you think about the concept it's like you all wear a leash. brian: someone should stand up and say the tie makes no

brian: fox news alert. south korean military already reporting what we picked up. north korea has launched two short range missiles. it's the second such launch over the last week. robert charles served as assistant secretary of state for george w. bush administration joins us right now. so, rob, for the longest time we are saying well, they are not denuclearizing at least they are not shooting rockets. now they are shooting off rockets. what's next? >> i think what this tells you is they are putting off the hard decision. they really need to keep three things in the front of their minds because they are pivotal for them. one is nuclear weapons are a dead-end street for them. ultimately they would lead to a preemptive strike. they are never going to use them. the minute they put one on top of a rocket it will be destroyed and it would be catastrophic. china needs to think about that too for that reason support the sanctions. the second big piece of this is that they have a

conventional army. it's one of the largest in the world. they need to sit back and think about the fact that any deterrence they need will come from that. the third is honestly as mike pompeo has said in the last week, if they pivot and do the gorbachev pivot and move toward opening up their economy and getting rid of the nuclear weapons it, could be huge for them. they could get an increase of 100 fold. maybe 80 fold in their economic trade. so, there is one direction that points them toward the light and one points to real darkness. this added missile launches and the idea of putting off the big denuclearization decision does not help them. at the end of the day, they need to bite the bullet, do it right, and get the huge economic advantages that come from that. brian: or risk being shut down again. i wonder if it's a coincidence they meet with vladimir putin. next thing you know rockets are going off again. >> truth be told, vladimir putin can offer them nothing. the west can offer them everything. so they need to do the gorbachev pivot and come over here toward the light. brian: they want to get the

natural gas into south korea if they do that they have to work out with north korea. now with iran. yesterday we under the sanctions. not just about weapons now it's about metal. it's about aluminum, steel and copper. we are ramping up the pressure. in terms rowhani, the president came out and said within 60 days we are going to begin to break the nuclear agreement. still in place even though we left it with our european partners. what's at stake? >> i think you have to look at iran through multiple lenses and carefully what we are doing in response. mike pompeo was in baghdad yesterday talking about iran to the iraqi leaders. where the abraham lincoln has been sent directly to the gulf. i think we are sending very strong messages to iran. one of them relates to nuclear. we are sending real three strong messages. one is we are watching you closely and we know you had a terrorist event public reports on the way or either

directly or indirectly. we are going to respond directly if you undertake any kind of terrorist event in the region. same time we don't want to see a weekend like last weekend with israel. hamas, which is iranian-backed and another group in the gaza strip launched 600 rockets into israel. we are not going to see that again. we don't want to see that again. second big message is we want iran to pull back in syria, iraq and he had men. supporting deregulation. u.s. carrier battle group over there said several things long-term things don't get into the business of creating and even contemplating nuclear weapons. it will be a dead end street for you just like it would be for north korea. and, in fact, i think both of those are at inflection points. and other big thing we are saying to our allies around the world from tijuana to colombia. listen, we are there for you again. we are not there for you during the obama years. we have been a little bit lax in our power to do power

projection. bile sending the abraham lincoln over there. we have free flow of oil in the gulf. we will support the oil coming out of saudi and we support our allies. brian: real quick, 10 seconds, or 15. how close are they to breaking economically? >> boy, they are getting really close, i think that could break internally as well as externally. the pressure on them they have enormous inflation. they have shortages that people -- look, their population wants iphones not ayatollahs. most of them are under 30 there could be inflection point there. brian: let them know the people are on their side. >> that's right. brian: we cannot be behind this regime since 1979. robert charles, thanks so much. >> yes, sir. brian: by the way hillary clinton saying donald trump being too tough on iran. straight ahead tim tebow credits his mom with being the key to his success. now she is sharing advice to help motivate the next generation. pam tebow is here live next. ♪ ♪ she's somebody's hero

i'm so proud of you and some things i'm blessed to be proud of and accomplished is because of you. i love you. ainsley: if my daughter grew up and said something like that to me have you done your job, well done. well done. >> well, you know, we just -- we really worked hard at it but, you know, god does more. he is a great kid. ainsley: i said give me advice what i can do to raise my daughter? he said my mom would sing bible verses to me every night. when i was going through a hard time i would repeat those bible verses in my head. i'm going to start doing that. >> good way for us to memorize with song. ainsley: come live with me and help me raise my daughter.

battery charging. ♪ steve: all right. take a look at these numbers, arrests at our southern border continue their record streak hitting the highest number since 2007. u.s. customs and border protection nabbed more than 98,000 migrants in april and turned away more than 10,000. ainsley: a majority of those arrested were traveling in family units. the new figures further illustrating the challenges facing the trump administration as it seeks to crack down on illegal immigration. brian: fox news contributor retired ice director tom homan joins us now to weigh in. tom, these numbers shouldn't surprise you, so how do we fix it knowing that the pentagon is responding now in an effort to coordinate with border patrol and you have two relatively new leaders in both those departments? will it yield results?

>> well, i think need to do a couple things. first of all, congress needs to act. look at those numbers, two thirds of those numbers are family units or uacs. family units are coming because the word is out you bring a child you won't be detained. over 80% don't show up in court and they are going to remain in the united states illegally until the next daca comes up because this is your next daca population these children are brought into the country no fault of their own. if you look at the numbers, this all started in fy 12 and daca was awarded by the obama administration. that's when the surge even started. ainsley: last month 8897 were unaccompanied children. tom, how is that happening? are these parents just saying go, you have a better life? go without me? are the kids running away? what is the story there? that makes me so sad? >> first of all, when the fy19 budget was signed, remember the president schulte the border down and came up with bail. they put language in the bill, democrats put language in the bill that clearly

said ice cannot take action against uac couldn't do any action against household of uac. when that happened i was screaming that week a lot on this program that's going to result in increase of children being smuggled into the united states because now parents and sponsors who hire a criminal organization to smuggle their child into the country can't be held accountable. it was ridiculous addition to the bill. so, i'm not surprised other uacs are increasing. they put these children in the hands of criminal organizations. parents and sponsors are here illegally. children are in central america. i have a couple questions. if that child is really in danger. why is the parent here? go down and take care of your child? i try to push a policy ice directors saying every parent sponsor had to come to ice and get vetted. put them in with a child. let them plead their case as a family. i call that parenting and call that holding someone responsible that enters in a criminal conspiracy to put their children in the hands of criminal organizations. steve: thomas, we look at some of this video and see

them approaching some sort of a border wall or a border fence. the pentagon has reprogrammed enough money to build 256 miles of border wall. and the question is that going to be challenged in court or what's going to happen next? you keep bringing up every time you are on that congress needs to act. but you know we're the year before an election year and both sides, each party sees some political advantage to have the point of view that they are going to keep, which is the democrats do not think they need to build a big wall and republicans want to strengthen the southern border. >> i will say it again. congress is not going to help we need to do operationally what congress needs to do legislatively. ice needs to do a nationwide operation. look for family units and single adults who had their day in court or didn't show up in court and ordered removed by a federal judge. if those orders don't mean anything, if those orders aren't executed there is no integrity to our system. did i this three and a half years ago and took a lot of

pete from the democratic administration but it worked. numbers on the borders dropped dramatically almost immediately. we have to show a consequence. central americans need to see families coming home. brian: right. the good news is the army corps of engineers is beginning to repurpose pentagon money to build that barrier. so the president wants 400 miles at the end of the year. they are going to get 230 within six months. thanks, tom. >> i appreciate it, thank you. ainsley: thank you. steve: 20 minutes before the top of the hour. and jillian joins us with some news. jillian: that's right. good morning. let's start with this. 2020 presidential hopeful amy klobuchar says she is not worried about joe biden entering the race for the democratic nomination. >> when you look at presidents that have won, you look at where they came from, they have all overcome incredible odds. so, yeah, can i win this. jillian: recent polls show that biden is beating the

minnesota democrat 39-1. democratic hopeful pete buttigieg is set to appear on the next fox news town juame 19th at 7:00 p.m. eastern. stay tuned in for that. plan to serve cold sandwiches to kids who owe money after facing national criticism. in a facebook post. public schools originally writing students who haven't paid would get just a sun butter and jelly sandwich. now the district says those students will get a hot meal. the district is working with local businesses who have offered to pay off student lunch debts totaling at least $77,000. a lucky fan gets the chance to play a real life super mario brother's game during the pirates rangers game in pittsburgh. the guy was crunching it. jumping and running to collect coins on the out field wall until this happened. take a look. there you go. the poor guy stumbling. >> oh, oh. jillian: before face planting into the dirt.

that bible display at a memorial for missing veterans the military religious freedom foundation claiming, quote: the display is a repugnant dispample of fundamentalists christian triumph fallism, exceptionalism superiority and domination. and it cannot stand. mike barry represents the group that donated the display and he joins us right now life from dallas. good morning to you, mike. >> good morning, steve. thanks for having me. >> so this particular display, i think it's been there -- i know the bible was donated by somebody who was held in a german concentration camp during world war ii. and then it was donated to the v.a., right? and it's been there for years without any problems. >> that's right. it was donated by a 95-year-old world war ii pow to the northeast pow/mia network. they put up the display. the v.a. policies and regulations allow groups like our clients to put up

displays like these and if the v.a. were to give in to these demands by this radical outside group. steve: right. >> then we would say that violates our client's free speech rights. steve: mike, as i understand it, the v.a. took -- there was a complaint, and they took it down. it is now back. the v.a. put out this statement: this lawsuit, backed by a group known for questionable practices and unsuccessful lawsuits, is nothing more than an attempt to force the v.a. into censoring a show of respect for america's pow-mia community. make no mistake, v.a. will not be bullied on this issue. so, why do you think the change of mind? because they took it down. now they put it back. >> well, you know, first liberty, we are very thankful to see that the v.a. is standing strong on this and we are encouraged by that our position is that bible, and that display belonged to our clients. it was donated by a member of that network, the northeast pow-mia network. and if there is any attempt to remove that bible or that

display or disturb the display in any way, they have to come through us at first liberty institute. we are happy to defend that display. in court, if necessary. and, you know, steve, i have got to say, this is just the latest in a disturbing trend of attempts to dishonor veterans and their -- whether it's the veterans memorial. we have a case at the u.s. supreme court now. now it's a case like this. i saw earlier just this week there are now attempts to prevent people from saying god bless america. you know, first liberty institute we're taking a stand to defend these types of opportunities and ability to honor veterans, to honor america, to honor the country. we encourage people go to first liberty.org to find out more about this case, to find out how you can get involved and stay supportive of our country, of our veterans, for crying out loud this is a 95-year-old pow who donated his own bible to help others remember that the bible

represents faith. and that's strength that is gained through faith in order to survive that horrific experience. steve: but, in addition to that, it's historic, because it was with him when he was being held hostage -- captive. >> that's right. this is historic artifact. that's why you see in the photo it's actually in a plexiglass case because it's such a historic artifact of such great personal value. the veteran himself's name is her man herstrike berger. he gave an interview several years after his experience and ordeal in captivity. he said ironically he said he felt like he had fallen behind on his prayers and when he was held as a pow, that was the opportunity for him to catch up on his prayers. and that prayer and faith provided a great solace to him during his time in captivity. this is the person we want to attack now? this is the person we want to be able to dishonor?

that's outrageous. steve: well, at this point the v.a. says the bible stays. mike barry, first liberty institute, we thank you very much for joining us today from the dallas-fort worth metroplex. thank you, sir. >> thank you for having me. >> all right. so what do you think about that? email us friends@foxnews.com. meanwhile, when it comes to buying a new house. what's the better deal the city or out in the suburbs? the pros and cons of each in day four of our real estate series. by the way billy joel lives in the suburbs. ♪ big mouth, did you ♪ your friends were so knocked out ♪ you had to have the last word ♪ last night ♪ to know what everything's about.

brian: we continue with real

estate week it's just thursday. suburban and city living many to consider. proximity work and lifestyle. ainsley: here to break it down for us on day four of real estate series natalieway. great to see you. >> hi. good morning. ainsley: go through the pros and cons of each of living in the city. >> one of the best parts about living in the city is you have so many great restaurants. all the amenities, great shopping. some of the top hospitals are in the city. other pros include proximity to work. so a majority of the jobs are in the city. if you have lived in the city as well, your commute is shorter. you don't have to worry about spending a lot of time in your car are on the train. other cons living in the city. brian: cement. ainsley: no backyard. >> no backyard no. space. if you have, you know, a large collection like my husband there is nowhere to store it in your apartment. if you are a home buyer you will have to consider space

as well that's going to be an issue. ainsley: if you have a lot of clutter. city life is probably not for you. >> exactly. you have to definitely take that into consideration. brian: go with the suburbs, the good news is it's a little bit of a drive but you get this thing called grass and also get a lawn. >> exactly. if you envision for your family, you know, you want a place for the dogs to run around. maybe you want your kids to have their own rooms and don't have to share, the suburbs might be a better fit for you. there is just going to be more square footage where you -- in the suburbs that's definitely attractive to home buyers. brian: need a car. apes ainsley more about personality. >> it is. ainsley: what you are okay with. i remember when i moved here from the suburbs from having a backyard and one of my friends i said how about your kids how do they run around she said this is all they know. they don't know that we go to central park when we want to have an outdoor area. >> exactly. cities have so many different amenities like that, too. brian: where are the trends? are the trends in or out of the city? >> well at realtor.com our april data we are seeing

actually increase in prices in the city. and so that's actually drawing people out to the suburbs. they are taking a look outside. you know, they are trying to see where their dollar can get them more. and that's why on relate tore.com we have been seeing more clicks on suburban homes as opposed to city. ainsley: when you move out to the bushes you don't have to bay city taxes. here in new york people say they move tout save that money. >> that's definitely a factor as well. brian: we will see where it's going. we know in new york city the operations are going one way and that suspect. >> yes. so, cities like new york, like washington, d.c., like boston prices are sky high. that doesn't mean that you can't live in the city. there is city like philadelphia, detroit, phoenix, those cities it's actually less expensive to live inside the city as opposed to the is i burr ban areas. ainsley: a lot of people live in the city and get it out of their system and then out. >> exactly.

ainsley: thank you so much. great job. >> thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead u.s. and north korea both launching missile tests within 10 minutes of each other. ainsley: the breaking developments coming up next. . .

we're not talking about her. steve: that is my favorite billy joel song. today billy joel is 70 years old. we know he is watching right now. happy birthday. ainsley: happy birthday, billy, piano man. everyone here especially northeast loves his music. everyone in the world does. he grew up out on long island. he was born in the bronx. moved to long island. when he goes to the concert. he is is at madison square garden all the time. brian: every month. ainsley: he can stop singing and the whole crowd every single word. brian: if that looks like amateur picture. when i saw him last year. ainsley: did you get front row? >> i had very good seats. i went with the mcdonald's. we were able to put these pictures together i was told two days ago it would be billy's show. this would be a billy centric show. amazing how into it he is. he is able to look at the crowd

at this point. only thing i think to myself, if you can write the great songs for 50 years, why not a few more? you're still in your prime. write a few more songs. steve: i bet he is trying. next album. ainsley: we went to his concert, the group i was with all from new york, they knew every single word. christie brinkley is on front row. steve: uptown girl. ainsley: it was a few years ago. it was after their divorce. they zoomed in on her. brian: they were married? ainsley: they were not married. amicable relationship. brian: their offspring is alexa ray, right? ainsley: that's right. steve: their offspring. one way of putting it. ainsley: their daughter? brian: make sure it is the right kid. steve: it is billy's birthday. the president is demanding immigration changes after another record-breaking month at our southern border. brian: this record no one wants to break.

more than 100,000 migrants apprehended or turned away in april. >> griff jenkins is live in washington as the border crisis worsens there. griff? reporter: good morning. the number of apprehensions already on the southern border in the first seven months of this fiscal year sure is passed the total for every fiscal year since 2009. the border patrol chief is sounding the alarm. >> our apprehension numbers are off the charts compared to recent years. as of april 30th, we apprehended 460,294 people on the southern border. in the last week we had our highest single day, over 5200 apprehensions. reporter: the april numbers are staggering. nearly 99,000 were arrests. more than 10,000 turned away. family units surging out of control. 58,474, nearly 9,000 unaccompanied children. it is the single highest monthly

total since april of 2007. height of what was mostly mexican, largely male migration. the difference now they are mostly central americans traveling in family units. harder to return them. we have no place to put them. tents set up people were to be put are full in two days. democrats are blaming the crisis on the president. >> the reality is the trump administration policies made our borders less secure, many times undermined our american values. reporter: here why these matters matter. numbers matter because agents tell me on this pace we could see as many as a million apprehensions this year. one asking me yesterday, at what point there in washington will it get severe enough that congress will actually act? i don't have an answer for them, guys. brian: might as well annexing guatemala. you have got to be kidding me. steve: they're coming here. why would we need to annex them. brian: this is unbelievable, 1% of the population already

arrived. dick durbin says the administration's fault. the administration is trying to capture what they started in congress and not done. steve: thank you very much. speaking of congress, nancy pelosi said yesterday some of the administration's actions to resist oversight could be grounds for impeachment. her quote been picked up significantly today, every single day the president is making a case she is becoming self-impeachable. so he is impeaching himself. the investigations are one of the topics the president had in the panhandle of florida. you probably saw part of the rally here on the fox news channel. he says the investigations could actually help him in 2020. last night he talked about some of the people he could face. listen. >> you got some real beauties, crazy bernie. you have a choice between sleepy joe and crazy bernie. and i'll take any of them. let's pick somebody please.

let's start this thing. they think the more they can hurt us, worse they make us look. i think they make us look better personally. i really do. i really do. [applause] they want to do investigations instead of investments. they want to do what they're doing which looks so foolish. maybe i read it wrong, but i think it drives right on to victory in 2020. because people get it. ainsley: it is amazing. he is saying the investigations, continuous investigations are helping me. they need to talk about investments, not investigation. steve: isn't the mueller investigation over? ainsley: you would think. we were all hoping so. his approval rating is great right now, better than it ever has been. people are liking what he is doing. if these democrats in the house are insisting, bill barr, holding him in contempt because they are so angry is not breaking the law. he would be breaking the law if he released unredacted, entire

mueller report because some of those investigations are still ongoing. it is grand jury information. or some individuals are blacked out because they are were proven innocent. steve: or intel sources. brian: redaction, a phony protest we witnessed yesterday. the democrats called a constitutional crisis, when there was, shoe was on the other foot a couple years ago and they just seemed to be actually, this is them crying about barr yesterday with trying to feign sincerity. >> we've talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. we are in it. we are now in a constitutional crisis. >> this attorney general, this administration, this president will not sully the constitution. >> the president now seeks to take a wrecking ball to the constitution of the united states of america. >> this is one of the most serious, if not the most serious constitutional moments we have

faced. >> the president of the united states is a wannabe dictator with authoritarian tendencies. steve: yesterday the house judiciary committee voted to hold the attorney general in contempt of congress. ainsley: has to go to the full house. steve: along party lines. it goes to the house. nonetheless those are politicians talking about somebody from the other party. we actually called in a jurist, judge napolitano, and we asked him, is it a constitutional crisis? and he said, no it's, listen. >> do we have constitutional crisis? in my opinion we don't. we would have a constitutional crisis if the courts ordered the president or the congress to do something and either of them defied the courts. that's the crisis. right now it is just a clash. brian: but the judge also said that he thought the attorney general should have tried to quash the subpoena rather than just ignore the subpoena and president of course weighed in, said i'm blocking him from

going. steve: executive privilege. ainsley: when eric holder was held in contempt for "fast & furious" where a individual died as a result. which you would think would be much more serious than this. but you had folks in his camp saying they can't believe that eric holder is being held in contempt. you even, had adam schiff back then. he was saying partisan abuse. but when it comes to bill barr he said yesterday, we had no choice. but let's do a flash back of adam schiff, other democrats back in 2012 talking about eric holder. >> the idea that the republicans have to bring this contempt of congress against the attorney general, republicans are contemptible what they are doing today. >> they still do not have any facts to support this illegitimate investigation. >> what we are doing today is simply partisan abuse of the contempt power. >> when the attorney general has cooperated to the nth degree.

this is not about the facts, this is about politics. >> to our republican colleagues, shame on you. >> shame on you. >> shame on you. shame on you. steve: democrats sounding exactly like the republicans are today, but that was back in 2012 when a democrat attorney general was in contempt of congress. brian: i think darrell issa had oversight, asking for paperwork as reflected the "fast & furious" program that almost no one knew anything about, that resulted in the death of at least one border agent, brian terry. they couldn't get it. after a while, if you don't give us the paperwork we're going to file contempt charges against you. they did and guess what? nothing happened. steve: because congress has legitimate oversight the executive branch. i don't know there was any grand jury testimony in the

"fast & furious" stuff, or intel sources or names that had been redacted to protect the innocent. back then they said nope, they didn't get them. here we are. ainsley: doj says inappropriate political theatrics. jillian is here. reporter: we follow developing stories. the u.s. and north korea test firing missiles within ten minutes of each other. the air force launching an intercontinental ballistic missile from a base in california. south korea's military says the rogue regime fired two short-range rockets. those firing 4,000 miles less than missiles launched by the u.s. it was north korea's second rocket test in five days. overnight pope francis issuing a brand new law requiring priests and nuns to report abuse allegations. the law provides whistle-blower protections if a report is made. it provides diocese worldwide to create a system to receive

tragedy you hear about the heroes behind the scenes. the fact that the two students jumped up, lunged at the kid, probably saved a lot of lives. >> absolutely. we're still getting more details how everything unfolded obviously as the investigation continues but absolutely amazing. i was reading an interview brandon bailey who is enlisting in the marines. that is fantastic. he will serve our country. god bless him and his family. he was describing how the moment when that murderer entered the classroom he was full of fear. he was absolutely terrified, he just moved. it was just reactive. he said, my body moved towards him. i knew he knew he had to stop him. kendrick castillo moved as he did. he grew up with kendrick castillo, who was a friend of his. he wanted to make it incredibly clear that kendrick's name was remembered not these murders. the armed security officer was

in this school. i wish there had been more armed security officers in this school, because as i love the heroism of these students. it should never ever have to come to this. i hate we even have the stories we have to discuss this evil but evil is real. these stories are happening. we have something seriously wrong, i think with some of the youth today and a heart problem in the united states. but this armed security officer was there, able to engage the other murderer. both of these, these two heros, the armed security guard, i'm so glad they were there. who knows how much more horrendous this could have been. ainsley: they say that the armed security guard was also a marine at one point and a sheriff's deputy as well. serving our country. now saving lives in that school. when you look at those pictures of kendrick castillo, i saw pictures of him earlier fishing, enjoying things with his friends. he is the one on the right who was killed. he had his whole life ahead of him, dana. he was about to walk into his

20s, in his 30s, your best years. not as much stress. you get a job. you start paying your own bills. you get married. you have a family. all of that was taken away from him by this shooter. what is the problem? you said there is a heart problem in our country. how do prevent this happening again? >> kendrick is the same age as my oldest son. i understand kendrick castillo is graduating this week. my oldest son is fraughting. as a mother you look at this every single kid is your own child. it makes me so angry his life was taken so prematurely from him by someone so evil and horrendous. i wish that is the discussion we could have in this country. there is something wrong with our youth, everybody. there is something happening in our culture because we always had firearms but we never had this many incidents. we also have more restrictive laws and regulations. colorado has more gun laws. we have number of things taking

place. what we're lacking is respect for life. what we're look lacking is clear boundaries for the youth. we're lacking that solid family home. and i don't know if all of this or if some of this playing into why we see individuals reacting this way. is it psychotropic drugs? we know one thing apparently the one of the individuals in law enforcement was abusing illegal drugs and in therapy. they stole two handguns they're illegal to posess by people under 21. scheck out the nra school shield security program so we get more armed guards in schools. brian: in florida, ron desantis, let's arm the teachers. those who want to get armed, get the training. will be interesting to see how that goes. >> msd commission report conclusion. security, officers, educators and parents in parkland

>> 1:33, two stage ignition. steve: we're back with a

fox news alert. the united states and north korea test firing missiles within ten minutes of each other. what is going on with that? ainsley: the air force launching a intercontinental ballistic missile from a california base. brian: lucas tomlinson from the pentagon with alarming developments. this is a coincidence? reporter: brian, that is exactly what the pentagon is saying this is coincidence that the u.s. launch was long planned. south korean officials say their neighbors to the north launched two short-range missiles traveled 260, and 170 miles respectively 50 miles from a base northwest of south korea's capitol city. within minutes the u.s. tested a long-range missile firing unarmed but nuclear capable missile which traveled 4200 miles from a base in california into the pacific. it reentered from space and splashed down near the marshall

islands. many focus on missile defense but missile offense and deterrents which the pentagon hopes keep people from attacking united states. it has 400 missiles underground across three bases in the united states. the air force released a statement a short time ago, important to note that our test launch is not a response or reaction to world events. the launch calendars are built three to five years in advance. planning for each individual launch begins six months or a year prior to the launch. the north korean missile test comes five days after a previous test. there were no missile tests by north korea last year. missile experts say this new north korean short-range missile is based on a russian design. last week north korean leader kim jong-un met vladmir putin in russia. pentagon officials are investigating latest launch but cannot confirm the details. steve: thank you for a live report from the pentagon. let's bring in congresswoman from hawaii, tulsi gabbard. she is running for president of

the united states. good morning. aloha. >> good morning, aloha. what do you make, congresswoman, about this. the pentagon says it is coincidence we fired off 10 minutes later. north korea the second missile launch in less than a week? >> obviously we need to make sure our capabilities are where they need to be. i think what north korea is doing only highlights further the need for us to continue to pursue diplomatic negotiations to ultimately denuclearize the korean peninsula, they show no interest in doing it? >> the negotiations that already happened are steps in the right direction. we have to look at our policies, see how can we help further push these negotiations forward. i'll tell you my constituents in hawaii have felt very directly this nuclear threat coming from north korea. you remember about a year ago there was a false missile alert came through across people's

phones. over a million phones across our state saying missile incoming, seek shelter immediately. this is not a drill. and it was terrifying. it was terrifying with people looking, where do you take shelter? where do you go? where can you find protection? the fact is there is no shelter. that is why it is so important for us to continue to work to denuclearization the korean peninsula. continue to work to end regime change wars that further undermine the ability to create a deal with north korea because we know kim jong-un has said, if, i look to the united states and how they have taken out leaders like gadhafi in libya, or united states said hey look, if you give up your nuclear weapons program we will not come in and take you out. that is exactly what happened. we went in and took out gadhafi. kim jong-un is seeing their nuclear weapons program as their only deterrent against regime

change. ainsley: you have had quite a career. we're all proud of you, women across the country are. >> thank you. ainsley: first woman combat veteran to run for president. that is really amazing. you're running on the democratic side. you're running against a lot of people. who do you plan to resonate? how do you think you can get your message across and possibly beat joe biden who has 46% of the votes in one of the polls, latest poll, the hill-"harris poll"? >> we're taking our message directly to the people of this country. you know polls have been proven to be wrong in previous elections as you know. ainsley: right. >> so i'm really appreciatthe opportunity to get out and talk with voters directly. introduce myself to them. let them know about my experience, serving as a soldier for over 16 years in the army national guard. deploying twice to the middle east. of serving in congress for over six years on the foreign affairs and the armed services committees. and to let them know, you know, i'm running for president to bring those soldiers values of

honor and respect an integrity to the white house and to serve their interests first and foremost. not the interests of political party or self-serving politicians or corporations or other countries. to actually put the interests of the american people first. brian: congresswoman, so a couple things. joe biden about a week ago, kind of laughed at people who said that china is a foe, is an enemy, is a challenge. he said, he kind of laughed at people who thought they were a threat. how do you view china? >> well look obviously there are areas of concern and differences that we need to address with china, both as relates to trade as well as security but i think it is important that we be able to address those challenges while not escalating tensions to a very dangerous point. which is where i'm concerned about now, when we have rising tensions with nuclear armed countries like russia and china. this is bringing us closer to

the risk of nuclear catastrophe, something that is undermining our own national security. brian: but it is their actions. it is rare actions, not our actions causing us to respond? >> we're the leaders in this world. we have to set the example to reach out to be able to work out those differences but also recognize for example, with china, there is areas where we need to be able to work together. for example, on denuclearizationing north korea. china and north korea strong allies. china shares our objective of ultimately denukizing the korean peninsula. this is an area we need to be able to work together. steve: the administration is negotiating with china regarding the tariffs. midnight tonight, when big tariffs could go into effect with the united states but i wanted to ask you, congresswoman, the fact as you're running for president, you, if you were the nominee, you would be running against donald trump's economy and, you have heard the metrics,

unemployment is at 50 year lows, people, for most part, if you want a job there is a job waiting for you out there. it seems to many economists like the, they call it the goldilocks economy. where it is not too hot, not too cold. just about right. how do you run against that? how do you convince americans you would be better off with me as chief executive than donald trump? >> look, i think if you look at those numbers, they are positive and we are moving in the right direction but i think we also have to address the fact that there are still so many people in this country who are working sometimes two or three jobs, just to be able to make ends meet. we have to look at the quality of life people have in this country. steve: how do you fix that? >> so many people are still not able to get the health care that they need. so many people are still not able to afford to put a roof over their heads. obviously, i come from a state that has a high cost of living but there are many communities, both in urban cities and in

rural communities who are struggling with basic necessities. so ultimately, there are many different challenges that we need to address. what i'm bringing to the american people as president and commander-in-chief is to put their interests first. when you look at what is happening in washington, what people are seeing is frustration because their needs are not being met. the results are not being delivered for them, for their families and for their future. that is what i seek to change. ainsley: congresswoman, let's talk about immigration, that is near and dear to so many american as heart. it is heartwrenching of watch video kids and parents, they are coming for better life, but most americans, many americans say they need to do it the right way. if you look at the numbers, already they are staggering. first seven months of this fiscal year we hit apprehensions and turned away individuals more than whole last year. more than 109,000 were apprehended and turned away at the southern border.

do you call this a crisis what do you plan to do about it? >> yes this is a crisis. a few things need to happen. there is still lack of resources being sent there to deal with the large numbers of people who are seeking asylum, trying to come across our borders. that extreme shortage of resources continues to be a problem. we've also got to recognize as you say for people to come into our country legally, our legal immigration system is vastly outdated and broken. i was talking to a friend of mine here who is an immigrant, who came here when he was a college student. now run as very successful business. his sister and their family, it has taken 15 years for them to get the appropriate visa emigrate to this country through the legal process. when you look at small business owners, entrepreneurs, there are a number of areas in our immigration system that are vastly broken. ultimately they end up hurting

our economy and those who are contributing. brian: your friend that waits 15 years how fair is it to that friend of yours, that people can walk across the border to beat the entire system. that is what it should be compared to. best of luck rest of the way. congratulations on qualifying for both of the debates. >> thank you. ainsley: we look forward to watching. you come on anytime. brian: indeed. ainsley: speaking of the economy, a general motors plant idling in ohio could get a jump-start. we are live out said of that plant next. ♪ - [woman] with my shark, i deep clean messes like this.
