it was closer to noon. ainsley: everybody together? steve: yes. ainsley: how about you, brian? brian: chris had a game. 8 hour trip on mother's day when everyone choosing to drive. thanks to the planet for i raining to be religionly. steve: that was in the northeast i was down south and it was a beautiful day. brian: that would have been the place to be. when we started this show we were playing panic at the disco. we have a different kind of panic. it's called a crisis, constitutional crisis according to some democrats. ainsley: remember democrats wouldn't say crisis at the border. manufactured crisis. they have been screaming crisis after what happened with william barr when he -- when they voted to hold him in contempt.

steve: we want a clean copy of the mueller report. we don't want anything sharpied out. we want to see the whole thing. ainsley: the sound bite yesterday on all the sunday show from the democrats constitutional crisis. listen. >> we are looking at a crisis. not only of confidence but constitutional crisis. >> a president who has been overreaching. >> we are clearfully a constitutional crisis out trump administration has created. >> it really is a constitutional crisis. this administration wants to have a constitutional crisis. >> we have talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. we are now in it. >> do you agree with congressman nadler, chairman nadler that we are in a constitutional crisis? >> we are. steve: that's clearly they put out talking points and they are all sticking to them. steve: they can say constitutional crisis but can they do anything? yesterday they talked about

usings inherent contempt power which is the power to arrest detain and confine which hasn't been used since the 1930s i believe. adam schiff was on one of the shows well, you know, if these people don't come and honor the subpoenas we might have to fine them $25,000 a day and we'll start getting people's attention. brian: so there are countless investigations. 36 major investigations. countless requests for documents. and for the most part the white house looked at all of this and said this is out of control. adam schiff in his explanation said you know, the president is using executive power. we're asking for stuff that happened before he was executive businessman. gets into the definition what the heck are you doing? have you immigration catastrophe. have you major flash points in north korea, iran, trade deal that's blowing up with china. you have so many domestic issues to address and you are focusing on donald trump's casino purchases? have you got to be kidding. or his son being surprisingly subpoenaed to go back to the senate and

talk about what lied about. the democrats knew sound bite constitutional crisis they and their partners, the fake news media are all told to say that as loud and often as possible. they are a sad joke. we may have the strongest economy in our history. best employment numbers ever low taxes and regulations a rebuilt military and v.a. many great new judges and so much more. but we have a giant scam perpetrated on our nation. a witch-hunt, a treasonous hoax. >> ainsley: let them start by fixing the mess that their immigration laws have caused at the southern border. many people are saying that. they are saying let this investigation stuff go. two years, millions of dollars. lots of lawyersy involved there was an entire team of democrat and republicans. they interviewed lots and lots of people. this went on and on and on and you worked really hard your tax dollars paid for it

all. let's move on. steve: a number of senior democrats who feel that the long they're goes on the more it will be apartments tapt to backfireand get donald p reelected last thing democrats want. in fact adam schiff said yesterday the country could not survive another four years of donald trump. senator lindsey graham had this observation about the quest for accountability. listen. >> once mueller gets an outcome they don't like they want to take muellerens work prurecket and politicize it. they just want an outcome. it doesn't matter how you get trump. it doesn't matter if you trick the fisa court it. doesn't matter if you infiltrate the campaign. the goal is to stop trump and the rules don't matter and this freak show in the house, i'm going to make sure it doesn't come to the senate. this is a very dangerous time in personal history. where the media and the democratic party wants an outcome against trump no matter what the are. brian: he comes one a

comprehensive immigration program that's going to be released on wednesday that would address the four main issues that are facing us at the border. i remember the best example i think is barack obama. in 2007 we are in a an economic crisis. the bottom falling out of the market. major corporations and banks falling apart. barack obama senator kind of proved to many people that he can be president by calmingly calling up hank paulson the treasury secretary. working through the white house. trying to figure out what was going on and how can he help. i love the way he acted under pressure. if you are a lawmaker running for president and you don't have a plan to address the border, all your plan is about attacking the president, that should be disqualifying. you are already showing you can't be decks tearous enough to answer this country's problems. ainsley: two things lindsey graham stood out to me they they are doing this because they didn't like the outcome of this report. a. agree with that at the very end he said they don't care about the laws. they don't care about the rules they're anti-trump.

if you look at the laws, william barr is not allowed to you release the unredacted version of the mueller report because it will expose active investigations or people that are be i innocent. brian: even if they get robert mueller up that will not be enough. 98% is available to jerry nadler. i can't read it because i can't tell everybody else what i read. no kidding top secret information that only chairman and top members of congress are allowed to see. since he can't leak it out, he doesn't want to read it. incredible. meanwhile, i had the chance to talk to the secretary of defense who is finally nominated, patrick shanahan over the weekend about the concerns that he has. now, we was able to walk the border with acting director of homeland security kevin mcaleenan as well as pat shanahan and presumably the next secretary of defense. we are talking about the issues and why the military is needed at the border because it's a crisis congress won't address. exactly what they will do.

you will hear about that later. i had a chance to speak to him on his second best plane. sitting down and see that later at a desk. i noticed the world map behind you. telephone me what concerns you. here's a little of what he responded -- how he responded. >> if i tell you secretary of defense to look at that world and ask you where your eyes are drawn to. where do you go? >> i would first pick this region because two thirds of the world's population lives here. brian: china? >> china, india. four to five hour flight out of hong kong that region with indonesia. 60% maritime trade of the occurs here. 20 of the world's largest growing economy is here. first place my mind goes. second place is india, europe, japan, the united states. you combine those democracies and you have a

population that's greater than china. we keep going around the world, i would go to russia big country, small economy, let's not forget our spot here. i look at north america, we have got the border. finally, something jump out and spending a lot of time the artic. brian: tell me about the challenge of the artic. >> well, think about what russia's presence is there. what china's presence is all the wealth and natural resources that are up there. brian: what is that? i know they have got fossil fuel. >> and just think of the transiting up there and how the economy is going to open up and how to manage that region of the world. brian: if one country decides to block that

region, that would be a problem. >> when i look at this map, that's the one part of the world the map is under represented. brian: used to running one of the most successful companies in the world. now you are helping operate the most successful country in the world. >> right, right. >> global operation. brian: he was pretty excited a couple days before had a chance to do this. to finally get the nominationment and now he will get blistered because people want to take shots at donald trump by going after the people he nominates. steve: would have been easier to stay at boeing. brian: mattis gave him a call and said the country needs you. he said all right. ainsley: much more later? brian: yes we sat down at a table 6:30. ainsley: we saw the standing portion. the seated portion later. steve: 6:10 and jillian joins us on this monday.

halloween kind of way. i mean in like a biffle rights shredding kind of way. they genuinely scare me. i'm not making this up. the media that is supposed to be the traffic cop in all of this exposing spying scandals, calling out the democrats has completely forfeited their job. if they win in 2020 i don't know where they will go. start spying again? what happens? steve: dan, you are talking about their job. ultimately up to the people in their districts who vote them into office if in 2020 they review what their congressman or congresswomen have done or senators or whomever and they say you know what? i'm glad they did the investigations or i'm not glad. it's up to the people ultimately. and they are making-out democrats are making it much easier right now because there has not been a lot of cooperation between congress and the white house, not a lot has gotten done. what are they going t able to say at the end of the election? >> you know, steve, what scares me about this entire thing here is the message doesn't seem to be resonating with the american

public because the media is not doing their job about what happened. do you understand that the media gout this story entirely wrong. they got the story backwards. the story was that collusion with the russians was real and spying on the trump campaign was a hoax amongst right wing conspirac theorists. american people are busy. they watch the show. but they have to take their kids to soccer and go to work. they don't have time to write books about this stuff like i do. this is a living now. do you understand your government spied on a political campaign on the obamunder theobama administrati. i'm telling you. this the republicans may not be answer to all of your problems but the democrats are most certainly right now the cause of them. this is a dangerous political party. brian: what do you say to critics if you want to move on forget about horowitz stuff and how this whole

you are nominated. how does that feel? >> ready to do the job. i have been doing the job since january 1st. and i very much appreciate that the president's vote of confidence in me and my ability to get this department where it needs to be. brian: general mattis reached out to you and said i like you to be my deputy. what were your thoughts? did yo you have reservations? >> if your country calls you, you answer. moving to washington, d.c. that serve the country was not a difficult decision for me. brian: general mattis somebody who liked to go out in the field and trafl and meet with world leaders. leaving you to make a lot of those decisions, how did that get you ready for taking the job. >> secretary mattis really did give me these responsibilities to be the chief operating officer. my role was really broader than being a deputy. it was to run the operations of the pentagon. that's what i did before stepping into this assignment. brian: you've already had

the experience of hostile questions at the hearings. and one of which was about the reappropriating of funds from defense to homeland security to the border. what's your reaction to critics who said you shouldn't be doing that? we gave you $700 billion to rebuild the defense department not to do this. >> we have a crisis at the border. a national emergency declared by the president commander-in-chief given me a direct legal order of securing the border. the. brian: the reason you have this job now as the nominee secretary of defense general mattis had a difference with the president. could not go along with the syrian policy. had to walk away. what are you going to do with you disagree with the president? a policy you disagree with. how are you going to handle it. >> i will talk about the president about that. i like working with the president. he is a ceo. hhe is focused on outcome and

results. will we always agree on everything? no. do we have the same interest and focus? yes. my job is to get the results we need to make this country the best and defend this country. brian: how would you characterize your relationship with pompeo and john bolton. >> what different united states people that come from a corporate environment it is mandatory that people work together. so you can have a difference of opinion. i have disagreements with people. i mean, that's normal. and i bring those. s to our discussion. at the end of the day we have to have cohesion. we have to work as a team. i feel very good with the team that we have and i feel very strong that our relationships are in a very good place and i'm

encouraged by the work we have been able to do so far in a short period of time. brian: it's been described from people on the outside you are just moving from crisis to crisis to crisis not an overall vision. are you just moving from crisis to crisis or a vision you are implementing. >> i'm not moving to crisis to crisis. we have operations underway in over 160 countries because there are so many different dynamics, difficult to connect the dots when you are behind the curtain can you see that the dots connect. they don't always line up with the time frame you and i would like. there are a lot of things we don't control. but there is a plan and and there is a vision and strategy. brian: one of the strategies we see russia seems to be everywhere. we see them in the middle east. they are not leaving syria even though they said they would. no one doubts they are starting to reinvigorate relationship with cuba. how do you view as secretary of defense the russian

threat? we need to aggression. influence modernization of nuclear weapons. when we look at the types of weapons modernize in violation treaties we have between our countries. these are things that need to be addressed. brian: you were talking about crises. one of which was venezuela. general jack keane has brought up the fact maybe we could escort military aid in. how do you feel about those options? >> i think we all recognize that maduro's illegitimate regime has put that country and its people at great humanitarian risk. the activities the u.s. effort has been focused on diplomatic and economic efforts as you understand and i think it has been made perfectly clear by the president all options are on the table. brian: north korea set up rockets case two weeks ago. they have had a couple of

launches over the last week. the president has had a moderate response through twitter and interviews. what's yours? >> the strategy with north korea hasn't changed diplomatic one. full denuclearization. my job is to make sure that we are prepared in the event diplomacy fails. that's my focus with the military. there is no change to our forced posture and preparation and readiness. brian: look like russian rockets coincidence they had a meeting kim jong un and vladimir putin couple weeks ago. is it a coincidence? >> i will leave that for you to decide. brian: when you look at what this president wants to do with trade in china, now, some would say that's not your lane, others would say it's absolutely your lane. as these trade talks hit

turbulence, so to speak, how does that effect your job? >> everything is integrated. whait's the whole of government. doesn't mean you can't develop modernized the military and develop trade policies and practices. we want trade with china. brian: trade war could end up being a military one. if we go trade war that's how he -- >> that's more of a hypothetical question. i believe that a solution is possible. very smarted negotiators. level the feed. we want china to play by the rules. steve: there you have got a former crowform ceo of boeing re through the ranks. engineer in the mid 1980s or something like that. ainsley: there for 30 years. steve: he was the fix-it guy. now the president's captain to fix whatever needs fixing. ainsley: covered all out bases there.

brian: a little bit later he talks about his personal decisions that went into this and some other things. keep in mind, the money is he using is money that was going to afghanistan for the security forces. he thinks it's important to bring it to the defense. he also says he has a ph.d. in cutting red tape. he says i have a way of through the bureaucracy. some say it's soul crushing bureaucracy in there. he can do. does not mind having a lower profile than pompeo and others he know he has his hands full. ainsley: successful, dungts need this job. california has to move why was it important. >> when mattis says this is for your country and work well together. i have got to do it for my country. his son said you know what? i will move. even though i'm in high school i will come. he said no stay in high school and figure it out. now he has. about to run the department. he knows he will get blistered during the nomination process. blumenthal is already on the record saying he is the least qualified secretary of defense he has ever had in front of him.

so, everything the president. steve: game on. brian: connecticut senator has a problem with. this is just the latest. he says i grew up in a household high volume and used to high tension i'm not going to get rattled during this process. steve: we will see what happens. great interview. 19 minutes now before the top of the hour. good morning. jillian: good morning. following a number of stories following. this stepfather of missing 4-year-old maliyah davis is due in court today. darian vent is charged with tampering with evidence after police dogs found evidence of human decomposition in his car. new surveillance video shows him carrying a large laundry basket from his apartment just days before reporting maria missing. her blood was found in his houston apartment. court documentation show he could face murder charges. maria has not been found. congresswoman react tlaib responding to critics over comments she made about the holocaust. >> you know, kind of a calming feeling i always tell folks when i think of

means they are competitor just about everybody. one of the things they did for years and years. you are familiar with black friday. steve: sure. >> friday after thanksgiving they call it black friday because retailers in the red. they don't make money until the friday after thanksgiving going into christmas. amazon intentionally sold below their costs to undercut retailers all across the country. and that is anticompetitive behavior. i started out in this 20's years ago being about anti-anti-as you can be. watching companies like amazon i have turned around on that issue. when you are a trillion-dollar company, you can do all sorts of anticompetitive things that drive all sorts of people out of business in an artificial manner. i don't have a problem with the natural order of things causes businesses to go out of business. but what amazon is doing is quite artificial and quite anticompetitive, because they are such a huge

trillion-dollar company they can do it to a lot of different people. steve: i know elizabeth warren has proposed breaking up amazon. seton, if it's going to be a lot leader, a lot of business dues that kind of thing to get started. >> a lot of businesses aren't a trillion-dollar company. steve: absolutely. 100 percent. meanwhile, one of the other big online presences is facebook. and over the last week or so, chris hughes, one of the co-founders of facebook said essentially mark zuckerberg has too much power. it needs to be broken up. there is a headline in the "new york times" said breaking up facebook is not the answer, dismantling our company won't fix what's wrong with social media. what do you say? >> >> i would stak take it? stages in facebook. one of the exexecutives of facebook said the only thing mark zuckerberg has figured out to do with facebook is make money which of course is collecting our data and selling it. but there is a preliminary

step with the social media platforms like facebook and twitter. there is a thing in the 1996 communication act called section 230. what it says is if you are a publisher like the "new york times," where you edit and control content, you are libel for slander, libel and intellectual property theft. if you are an open platform like facebook and twitter, you get indemnity for from libel, slander and intellectual property. the problem is they are not being opened platform. they are censoring people like crazy the first step i would take is approach these companies and say do you want to be a platform open to everybody with indemnities or publisher. because your editing content and that should eliminate the protection. steve: seton motley joining us from maryland thank you. >> thank you, sir. steve: all right. 10 minutes before the top of the hour, football star j.j. watt giving all-star advice

from within. we have so many examples in our organization where people have come in at lower level positions and now executives. you want a place that is going to develop you and promote you. ainsley: okay. win the now you say. >> there is no next. there is a temptation for young people to get that promotion right away in first year. have you got to win the now. i have talked about this before on this program that you have got to know your role. be very clear on what's expected of you right now to win that current role. make sure you accept it. this is the starting point. this isn't where you are going to finish up. and then finally do more than is expected of you. if you do that, the next will presents itself. ainsley: can i always say yes, yes, yes. and work your way to the top. >> that's it. ainsley: ken coleman the proximity principle. >> >> thank you. ainsley: next up referenced franklin graham, mike huckabee, lawrence jones and senator tom cotton. what a line up. ♪ ♪ we'll be counting stars

"fox & friends" hour two live from studio f. ainsley: that's what the sermon was about yesterday life changes and change can be good. sorry to interrupt you. brian: at times. meanwhile, there has got to be more than one senator in washington. seems like the same guy is doing everything. here's another example. the big crisis in our country, don't let anyone tell you different is what is happening at our southern border. we have never seen anything like this. families streaming in from 54 different countries. over a million people come in illegally, guess what? going to get tickets and get

a three-why pass to come back and show up in front of a judge by then it will be too late. senator lindsey graham seen this problem. assessed this problem and on with maria yesterday has a way to solve it. it's not comprehensive immigration though we need that no one expects that i should say. but he says this is his plan. listen. >> going to change the asylum law that you have to fly in the country where you live or mexico. we're going to stop central american applications being made at the border. because we don't have enough judges for hearing dates. we're going to go to 100 days. we can hold minor children for 100 days so we can actually process the entire family without letting them go. we are going to increase judges by 500. we have almost 900,000 backlogged asylum claims. we are going to wipe out the backlog. if you are an unaccompanied minor we will send you back to central america. this should stop 0% of the illegal immigration from central america. steve: that would be terrific if true. obviously something has to

change with our laws. apparently is he working with ron johnson with homeland security on the senate side once they have everything worked out and also working with the white house making sure this is something the president would sign. then they will sit down with the democrats and figure out exactly how much of this plan which lindsey graham is going to unveil officially on wednesday that the democrats will go along with. ainsley: it would have to be bipartisan because the house would have to vote for it which is democrat controlled. steve: senate as well. ainsley: nice to have a plan to actually hear some points of what they're going to change. many people are upset about that flores settlement because the kids have to be released an 20 days change that to 100 days. brian: area i was at handles 360 in mac al lem, texas. getting in 2200 a day. running ads on television that says if you come to this country, you will get a chance to stay. literally 30 second spots people are buying. and guess how pay? cartels who make drugs who come in here the other way

while families come in there way. we have never had cubans come in before and all these countries come in before. 70% are central american. i feel bad because these border patrol men and women are basically trying to put out a fire entire neighborhood with one hose. while everyone thinks about it and puts it off and says it's a 2020 issue. this is totally out of control people quitting. attacks around the clock. press officers driving these immigrants. come in and nowhere to stay and to go. if you don't want to solve this crisis you should be disqualified immediately. steve: lindsey graham is accurate and stop 90% of the flow. that would be amazing. and that would be something that you would think would be bipartisan. brian: main thing was the 100 days. they don't need 100. take 45 or 60 just to be able to process at a reasonable rate and have the money to bring the judges down. the other person that deserves a lot of credit is democratic congressman

cuellar. he is down there trying to solve a problem. you see these guys asking do you think these guy also do anything to help us? the border patrol is desperate for them to do it he says i'm going to try. a moderate democrat which is as rare as you get these days is going to try. at least have you something to debate. ainsley: last week jerry nadler had his committee vote to hold bill barr in contempt. we kept hearing him say last week constitutional crisis. nancy pelosi agreed with him. continued to use that phrase constitutional crisis. the democrats continued to use it through the weekend as well. listen to this. >> >> we are looking at a crisis. not only of confidence but potentially a constitutional crisis. >> the constitutional crisis happens when you have the president who has been overreaching. >> clearly in a constitutional crisis one that the trump administration has created. >> it really is a constitutional crisis. >> this administration wants to have a constitutional crisis. >> we have talked for a long

time about approaching a constitutional crisis. we are now in it. >> do you agree with congressman nadler, chairman nadler that we are in a constitutional crisis? >> we are. steve: you have got to say this about the democrats they are good at talking points. clearly with the mueller investigation, they did not get the outcome that they wanted, which would be donald trump leaving the white house. they have been given this as the talking point because i think the average american is a little confused. they hear this stuff about well, you know, they want this unredacted copy of the mueller report, to a lot of people that's not a big deal. just give them a copy. but there is certain grand jury information that by law they cannot release. they all know it. ainsley: grand jury rule 6 e any attorney for the government can't discuss matters occurring before a grand jury. that is what is redacted. the president is saying they spent two years. millions of dollars. they say democrats are acting like lunatics. he said it's pathetic,

untrue. sound bite constitutional crisis untrue. he goes on to tweet this the constitutional crisis is the democrats refusing to work. let them start by fixing the mess that their immigration laws have caused at the southern border. brian: they have so many requests, so many people that they want. forget it. you are all over the map. maybe you should prioritize then maybe they might have a more serious case. other thing to keep in mind they are talking about finding people tens of thousands of dollars for not showing up. also trying to push this thing through the courts. dan bongino says is he looking at what happened since the house turned democrat and is he concerned. >> democrats scare me. i mean that i don't mean it like a michael meyers halloween kind of way. i mean in like a bill of rights shredding kind of way. and the media that is supposed to be the traffic cop in all of this exposing spying scandals, calling out the democrats completely forfeited their job. i will tell you if they win in 2020 i don't know where we will go. i'm not here to tell you who

to vote for, america, do you your own thing, okay? i'm just telling you. this the republicans may thought be the answer to all of your problems but the democrats are most certainly right now the cause of them. this is a dangerous political party. steve: and so what some democrats are thinking about doing because they feel the administration is stonewalling they may start using something that is called inherent contempt which is the power to arrest and detain and fine hasn't been used since the depression era, they would be able to fine members of the administration up to $25,000 a day if they do not comply and they don't think that a lot of people would be willing to do that as opposed to just showing up. obviously there is going to be a court challenge and that could take a very long time. brian: meanwhile, seven minutes after the top of the hour. on face the nation yesterday former secretary of defense and everything else throughout his illustrious career bob gates sat down with margaret brennan and they talked about everything. he will would not commit to

voting for donald trump even though he is a lifelong republican. deserve under barack obama and right through george bush and did preside over the surge and on most accounts did a heck of a job. he also wrote a best-selling memoir at which time he addressed joe biden. ainsley: yeah. he talked about the vice president and margaret brennan read the book. she asked, she said you said this about him in the memoir and here was his response. watch this exchange. >> you said in your memoir i think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades. >> i stand by that statement. i think that the vice president had some issues with the military. so how he would get along with the senior military and what that relationship would be i just -- i think it would depend on the personality at the time. ainsley: wrong on nearly every single foreign policy decision. brian: he also has some issue with his age. he said he is our age. a problem with our age is

problematic. you don't have the energy required to be president or the intellectual activity that is required to be president. because is he older than ronald reagan was in his last term. he would be in his first term. ainsley: joe biden is 76, bernie sanders is 77. youngest won is mayor pete at 37 years old. steve: he did say then again ronald reagan was 73 when he was elected for his second term and he turned out to be a pretty great president. brian: is he five years older right now when ronald reagan was when he left and they thought that was old. those were the good old days. he hasn't heard any foreign policy from any of these men or women so far which has him concerned. ainsley: she also asked about the trump administration saying they have been so tough on russia. watch this. >> it's a favorite talking point for the trump administration to say that they have been the toughest on russia of any administration. >> and in some respects that's true. >> in some respects? >> in the sanctions. >> you are a warrior you believe that. >> i think in terms of the

magnitude of the sanctions put on russia they are more significant than have been imposed in the past. steve: there you have the former secretary of defense of defense under bush and obama and he says they have been tough. brian: but not tough enough he said when he had vladimir putin on the phone after the mueller report came out. he said he missed an opportunity to blister him over his infiltration in our election in 2016. he said the take away from the mueller report is the russians did it and they are going to do it again. forget the politics. i thought that was the most salient message. ainsley: the president, that's his style. when he talks about north korean leader, when he talks about china's leader he says he is my friend. i actually enjoy. things like that he says after interviews or meetings with him. it's his way look we can disagree on certain things but we are better being allies -- not allies or better being in agreement on certain things or need to be nice to them so we can come to the table again. brian: risk is misinterpreting as being soft. hey he doesn't mind we might as well try it again.

it didn't affect our relationship. steve: anyway, that's some of the stuff the former secretary of defense said about current and future presidents. meantime, 7:11 in new york city. jillian joins us. jillian: good morning. start with a fox news alert. get you caught up on this. just moments ago. secretary of state mike pompeo landing in brussels to hold talks on iran. he will meet with european allies iran's partial withdraw from the deal. his visit comes as calls u.s. forces in the gulf a target. pompeo cancelled a trip to moscow for today's meetings. he heads to sochi, russia tomorrow to meet with vladimir putin. calling off the search for a missing hiker in hawaii. amanda he willer say heamman elt begun. >> we believe she is in the forest. someone taken her? we just want our daughter back. >> eller last seen on wednesday before she went to

drugs and suddenly switched to generic drugs and they had all sorts of side effects. >> the book began 10 years ago with a tip from a source who was hearing about a lot of complaints from patients who were having problems once they were switched to generics. and as i began reporting, i was looking at sort of regulation under an honor system by the fda. but the more that i reported that led me to look at what was happening in the distant manufacturing plants making our generic drugs. steve: if somebody is on a prescription drug, how can they tell if it was made in the united states or made in some other country? >> they wouldn't have any way to tell because the country of origin is not on the dependencing labe dispensinh it should be. 90% is generic. 40% of those drugs are manufactured in india. another 80% of the active ingredient in all our drugs

is manufactured in india and china and other foreign countries. so, the key question is are those distant manufacturing plants being effectively regulated by the fda? ainsley: we did get a statement from the fda and they address this issue. our standards require that brand name and generic medications have the same intended use and perform the same way in the human body, and we take multiple steps to ensure that generics are just as safe and effective as their brand-name counterparts whether a drug is made in the united states or overseas, manufacturers must undergo the same rigorous application process and the information must be fully viewed by our highly trained sign tisks staff. do you trust that statement? >> well, i believe that that's their standard. the issue is what is actually hang in these manufacturing plants? and my book is pulling back the curtain on what's actually happening in those manufacturing plants. ainsley: hard to tell what's happening in other

countries. we can't regulate what's happening in china, right? >> so the fda, the problem, one of them is overseas they announce their inspections months in advance the plants literally as i discovered in my reporting stlerks data fabrication teams. steve: my goodness. >> come in and alter quality data and using that data to get approval to maintain approval from regulators. steve: 44 states sued over the weekend. one of the companies impacted was teva allegedly increased prices of 86 drugs. they put out a statement that reads the allegations in new complaint in the litigation generally are that, allegations. teva continues to review the issue internally and not engaged in any conduct that would lead to civil or criminal liability. very interesting stuff. and the more we learn about it, the more rerealize we don't know. ainsley: this is katherine's book next to us bottle of

lies. if you want to learn more about it pick that up book. >> thank you very much. pleasure to be here. ainsley: polls show democrats elections. are their votes being taken for granted? steve: lawrence jones coming up next. with a terrain management system for... this. a bash plate for... that. an electronic locking rear differential for... yeah... this. heading to the supermarket? get any truck. heading out here? get the ford ranger. the only adventure gear built ford tough.

conservative? >> yeah. so, when campaigning for obama i was a young ban in 2008. and after action i switched over to the other party system. now consider myself more of a libertarian and because the left is so progressive that leaves me no choice but to vote for republicans most of the time. ainsley: why exactly did you do that? what didn't you like about the democratic party? >> well, it's the fact of the matter of putting the issues of black voters first. i mean, tack lick home ownership. creating a market that is fair for students when it comes to education system. when it comes to businesses in our community, tax cuts. so, for me, it was more of what policies would best benefit my community and i think that's what you are seeing right now in the 2020 election. a lot of black folks they may not vote for republicans going into the election but they are very disgruntled with the democratic party.

brian: other thing, lawrence, isn't it a wi bit of an insult voter can be labeled as black voter? what education do you have? are you workings class? are you upper class? are you middle class? are you suburban? urban? people are blanket black voters vote q, x, and z. i find that insulting. >> yeah. i think a lot of people do that because 90% of the time black voters vote for the same candidate. and it all goes down to what candidates show up in the community. i have got to be honest with you when it comes from a policy standpoint black voters may not agree with the democratic party. the democratic party shows up in the community. donald trump has a great opportunity. he has been around black folks for a long time when it comes to the people that we consider cultural icons. i think it's time for the president to have a conversation. you know, as nipsey was

still alive. he is one talk about financial literacy. i don't think the black community want the president, the politician. i think more black folks want donald trump the businessman. that's the person that they admire. and i think once the president got elected he went into the more of the typical republican. but if the president were to sit down with someone like ice cream, t.i. or jay-z and talk about the finances and the real issues that affect black america, i think you could see a change in the electorate. brian: there is no strategy to get the african-american voter. republicans have almost given up and that's their fault. ainsley: the president does continue to say that he has helped the african-american community, hispanic community and women get better jobs. >> yeah. it's one thing to talk about what you've done but it's also another thing to go into the community and let the people feel like they care. ainsley: who is the best candidate. >> you know, donald trump would be the best president from a financial standpoint

for black america but, again, the people in the community have to feel that. and when they don't see you, how can you expect them to vote for you. brian: fight for the vote and see what happens. take the risk. lawrence jones, thanks so much. >> thank you, all. brian: senator tom cotton served in iraq and afghanistan. also left the ivy league classroom to da it. also served in the old guard at arlington national cemetery. gave me a special tour of that hollowed ground and historic unit that predates the constitution. senator tom cotton here live with brand new book and that story. ♪ ♪ this is huntsville, alabama. aka, rocket city, usa. this is a very difficult job. failure is not an option. more than half of employees across the country bring financial stress to work. if you're stressed out financially at home, you're going to be too worried to be able to do a good job. i want to be able to offer all of the benefits that keep them satisfied.

money, banks, et cetera, et cetera? >> the answer is no to them? >> of course, do you want to turn this country into a huge dmv. do you want your healthcare be delivered by dmv like bureaucracy? that's objection number one. i don't think people understand that. number two. bernie says free. free college free in this sense is not free. somebody has to pay for it. just for a movement look at bernie's favorite european country, denmark. they have a sweeping cradle-to-grave welfare system, free healthcare, et cetera, et cetera. did you know that the top tax rate is 56% in denmark and it hits on $80,000 a year. so you hit 80,000 and your tax rate goes to 56%. plus, they have got a 25% sales tax on everything. that's how they pay for free this, free that do we understand that? i don't think we do.

brian: what he does have is college debt is an issue in every american household. >> that's true. brian: number two addressing healthcare a lot of republicans want to ignore it. the way is he addressing it is the issue. the fact is he bringing it up is popular elizabeth warren doing the same thing. word is there is push on bernie sanders to stop using the word socialist on the stump. >> he has fallen in the polls since joe biden has gotten in he has established a huge 20 or 30 point lead over bernie sanders and senator warren. is he fading. this idea that socialism is popular. socialism will deliver something to you. that idea really is fading as joe biden comes along here. he has what, 30, 40% support now. steve: yesterday frank luntz was on one of the sunday shows and felt that bernie sanders at the end of the long haul was going to be the nominee for the democrats. >> bought line is socialism appeals to jealousy. divisive. hey, you have got it. i'm hurting. brian: you have must have

cnn, i believe. and, you know, after there is a lot of trouble in the country. a number of people offered their thoughts and prayers. he does not like that expression and listen to the sound bite. >> more people in my lifetime have died in this nation due to gun violence and all the wars in the revolutionary war until now. we are not going to give thoughts and prayers which to me is just [bleep]. steve: regarding gun violence when somebody puts out the message our thoughts and prayers are with you, he does not like that message. >> well, it's obvious he doesn't understand the power of prayer. god hears prayer. he understands prayer. and, listen, you can take all the guns in the world and collect them. people are still going to murder. people are still going to kill you take in london right now they have taken up all the guns murder rates are increasing because of knives. the mayor of the city wants to ban all knives. it's the human heart.

this is what the bible says for out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornication, blasphemies. these come from the heart. only god can change the heart. god will change the heart when we put our faith and trust in his son jesus christ and accept what christ did on the cross when he died for our sins. the world has a sin problem. and only god can fix that you can have all the laws you want. you can take all the guns and put them in central park and have a mountain of guns. the human heart has to change. and not one gun is going to walk out of the park and shoot somebody. s it take as human being to pick up that gun and have purpose in their heart to use that gun for the wrong purposes. and so i just believe that we need to turn our hearts to god and let him transform our hearts and change our hearts. ainsley: reverend graham, god bless you. thank you for a wonderful heart felt message this morning. >> thank you. steve: straight ahead on this monday morning, we have plenty more show to go.

crisis. we have got to see the mueller report, got to see it clean. can't be any redactions. because they could be hiding something. that is their talking point. they are very effective using it. watch this montage. >> we're looking at crisis not only of confidence but a constitutional crisis. >> the constitutional crisis happens when you have a president who is overreaching. >> we're clearly in a constitutional crisis, one the trump administration have created. >> it is a really a constitutional crisis. >> this administration want to have a constitutional crisis. >> we talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. we are now in it. >> do you agree with congressman nadler, chairman nadler, we're in constitutional crisis. >> we are. brian: he says the president can't use executive privilege on things when he was a businessman. why are you asking when he is a businessman? you're curious.

maybe became president to build a big hotel in the united arab emirates. that is probably the focus. he is losing a billion dollars on his businesses. they want security clearance. they want to investigate. don, jr., they want to continue to investigate. don mcgahn, he had 30 hours of question. now they want the best-selling audio book. now they want the best-selling video book. take the mueller report, 400 pages, 22 months, $35 million, put a video, put a face behind it to make this story last. ainsley: what they want like lindsey graham is saying. they don't care about the results. they are breaking the law if they released unredacted version. if that doesn't work they will to to the next thing, the next thing. the president is sick of it. the american people want to move on. the constitutional crisis is the democrats refusing to work. let them start by fixing the mess their immigration laws

caused at the southern border. he goes on to say it is pathetic untrue. the constitutional crisis is just a sound bite. steve: here is the thing. democrats can issue all the subpoenas they want, if they don't get anything from the administration? they ask federal prosecutors to take the case to court. who do the federal prosecutors work for? the department of justice. the attorney general. the president. do you think anything will happen there? no. it is just going to wind up as a big court battle. no the less they have effective talking point. people hear the democrats say there is a constitutional crisis, they go, okay, maybe there is. brian: jerry nadler, is getting pressure, using something hasn't used in 820 years, a plan to jail those who don't testify. adam schiff i would fine them as much as $25,000 for not showing up. ainsley: they could plead the

fifth. this is just, it is politics. all it is. lindsey graham talked about immigration, he has a plan. he is drafting legislation. this is what it would look like. listen to this. >> we'll change the asylum law, that you have to apply in the country where you live or mexico. we're going to stop central american applications being made at the border because we don't have enough judges for hearing date. we're going to 100 days, we can hold minor children for 100 days so we can process the entire family without letting them go. we'll increase judges by 500. we have almost 900,000 backlog on asylum claims. we'll wipe out the backlog. if you're unaccompanied minor, we'll send you back to central america, this should stop the 90% of illegal immigration to america. brian: finally something will be put pen to paper. it will be marked up. hopefully it will pass, it will

go to the house. congressman cuellar will do best to push it forward. one of 22 want to show them worthy of president, respond to crisis put party aside this would be the opportunity. he is not optimistic anyone in the house will support any legislation that would put an end to this crisis which turned into catastrophe. steve: the reason the democrats will not support it is because we're year before election year. they do not want to give donald trump a feather in his cap because this is one of his core principles. he has to fix the trouble at our southern boarder. it involves a wall. it involves changing the laws. if the president is able to say i got congress to do something they haven't done in decades to change the laws, that is a win for him. brian: if any democratic confessional district in the boarder area they should demand the lawmakers make a change. people show up to the border, you go up to them, all the border agents can't speak spanish, they can't get the job,

didn't look like he would make it. now he is the best defensive lineman in football. steve: you have to wonder how the message was received. keep in mind kids graduating from college, saying things will be difficult. they don't want to hear that. hey, congratulations you have fon through four years of college, longer in some cases. the world is your oyster but he is being realistic, look, sometimes things don't go your way. they're not used to that. ainsley: sometimes when you're broken, you then learn life's greatest lessons. as parents we try to protect our kids as long as we can, we know they will face diversity. you know eventually you will be faced with tough times but during the tough times when you learn some of life's greatest lessons. brian: i agree. also, give you example. j.j. watt is working to become this great defensive prayer. blows out his acl, mcl. he has to recut his knee. what he learned in life in order to get what you want, you go for

ainsley: you did the movie about dr. gosnell who wormed all the abortions. you are an actor, what happened in georgia and all the actors who will boycott? >> i think it is pretty interesting several companies saying we're boycott that never filmed there. i think that was hysterical. it is very simple. the georgia voters put legislators in place. they legislated this. it passed their house t wented to governor. the governor campaigned he would sign it if it passed. the people of georgia made their, they made their mark. they made their decision. that is what we did. hollywood is coming in, listen we want you to have our values. we'll tell you what you should do and how you should do it in your state. i don't think they understand civics very well. they don't know how will work. they will pull money out or say they will. there is huge infrastructure in georgia, what the senator said is right, more production there than in los angeles it ain't going to happen. steve: seven states where they have a "heartbeat bill" on the

goes nell did. he looking at ralph northam, that is what i was doing he was more proactive snipping spinal cords, i wouldn't tell a state what they had to do. i understand the idea of federalism. i understand the idea of states rights. i don't think hollywood should be telling anybody what she should do. i promise you, hollywood is bottom line town the it's money. now some people, some of these people are people i like and respect tremendously i disagree with them completely on this. ainsley: keep in mind hollywood wanted stacey abrams lived? >> where is the money going to stacey abrams and her organization to fight that. she didn't win. although she hasn't gotten the memo. brian: she has not admitted. >> governor kemp signed it into law. that is the way it works. steve: that is what we're talking about. have a safe trip home. >> thank you. brian: 32 minutes before the top of the hour, acting defense secretary talking about shifting money to the border.

and what i need to do, my challenges straight ahead. sorry about the background noise of an airplane, this is our interview in his cabin. let's watch. mr. secretary thanks so much for the information known as 2nd deaf 2. >> glad we could make this second. -- secd ef-2. brian: word came down you're nominated. how are you doing? >> i been doing the job since february 1st. and appreciate the president's -- brian: general mattis reached out to you, i like you to be my deputy? did you have thoughts and reservations? >> if your country calls you answer. moving to washington, d.c. to serve the country was not a difficult digs for me. brian: general mattis liked to go out, travel, with world

leaders, leaving you to make a lot of decisions. how it did that give you a prepare you for taking job. >> secretary mattis gave me the opportunity to be chief operating officer. my role was broader than being a deputy. it was to run the operations of the pentagon. that is what i did before stepping into this assignment. brian: you already had the experience of some hostile questions at hearings. and one of which was about the reappropriating of funds from defense to homeland security, to the border. what is your reaction to critics said you shouldn't be doing that? we gave you $700 billion to rebuild the defense department, not to do this. >> we have a crisis at the border. a national emergency declared by the president. the commander-in-chief has given me a direct legal order to secure the border. i'm securing the border. brian: the reason why you have this job not as deputy but have

the job as nominee to be secretary of defense is because general mattis had a difference to the president, not go along with the syrian policy, decide to walk away. what will you do if you disagree with the president? what if there is a policy you disagree with? how will you handle it? >> i will talk to the president about that. what i liked about working with the president the, he is a ceo i worked with ceos. he is focused on out comes and results. will we always agree on everything? no. are we focused? we have the same interests and focus, yes. my job is to get the results we need to make this country successful. -- [inaudible]. brian: how would you characterize your relationship with the secretary of state mike pompeo, national security advisor john bolton? >> let me say, this is what i think diffentiates people come from a corporate environment. mandatory that people work together. so you can have a difference of

opinion. i have disagreements with people. i mean that is normal. i bring those opinions to our discussion. at the end of the day, we have to have cohesion. we have to work as a team. i feel very good with the team we have. i feel very strong that our relationships are in a very good place. i'm encouraged by work we've been able to do so far in a very short period of time. brian: it has been described for people on the outside is, you're just moving from crisis to crisis to crisis, not overall vision. are you moving from crisis to crisis or is there a vision you're implementing? >> i'm not moving crisis to crisis. operations underway and over 160 countries because there are some activity dynamics, it is difficult to connect the dots. when you're behind the curtain, you can see that the dots connect. they don't always line up with the time frame you and i would

like. there are a lot of things we don't control. but there is a plan and there is a vision and a strategy. brian: one of the challenges we see russia seems to be everywhere. weigh see them in the middle east. they're not leaving syria even though they said they would. no one doubts they are reinvigorating a relationship with cuba. how do you view as secretary of defense the russian threat? >> we need to address theiring a expression and their maligned influence. their priority is monetizaton of their nuclear weapons. when he look at the type of weapons they're modernizing, they're in violation of treaties we have between our countries so these are things that need to be addressed. brian: you were talking about that -- crises, one of which is venezuela. general jack keane brought up the fact you could escort military aid in. how do you feel about those options? >> we recognize that maduros illegitimate regime has put that country and its people at great

humanitarian risk. the activities, the u.s. effort has been focused on diplomatic and economic efforts. as you understand, and i think been made perfectly clear by the president, all options are on the table. brian: north korea set up rockets. there have been a couple launchings over the last two weeks. the president had a moderate response through twitter and interviews. what's yours? >> the strategy with north korea hasn't changed of the it is a diplomatic one. but it is about full denuclearization. my job is to make sure that we're prepared in the event of diplomacy fails. that is my focus with the military. there is no change to our force posture. our force preparation and our readiness. brian: coincidence, they look like russian rockets? coincidence, they had a meeting

kim jong-un and vladmir putin a couple weeks ago. is it a coincidence? >> i will leave that for to you decide. brian: when you look at what this president wants to do with trade in china, some would say that's not your lane but others would say it is absolutely your lane. as these trade talks hit turbulence so to speak, how does that affect your job? >> everything's integrated. i mean it's a whole of government but doesn't mean you can't develop, modernize the military and develop trade policies and practices. we want trade with china. brian: trade war could end up being a military war? if we to into a trade war, is that in fact how you deploy assets? >> we're into hypothetical questions. i believe that a solution is possible. i mean we have very smart, capable negotiators. we need to level the field.

it is about competition. we want china to play by the rules. brian: steve: from boeing executive to perhaps the ceo of the department of defense. brian: right but this is so weird, i never been on a plane built out like that. in the back is normal plane. steve: only showed us a little part. brian: the whole picture, whole first class, business class. they make a big cabin. i have to get changed. we were on the border, everyone was sandy. he gets changed. i have a suit sitting there, do you want to get changed in his cabin. don't worry about it, i will go into the bathroom. you can't do that in the bathroom. the defense secretary walked out. this is ridiculous, i can't believe this, he will stand in the hall while i get changed. >> how is the cabin? is it nice? brian: you looked at it. instinctively i locked door. i get changed and i the door locked behind me and it didn't unlock. one of copilots had to come out

punch out the top wall in order to reach in an up lock the door. so me and the defense secretary were locked outside of his cabin! ainsley: you locked him out. brian: i locked him out! steve: you broke sec-def ii, you broke the plane? brian: we don't know what to do. the nobody has the key. he goes boom, there goes the wall. i guess they had a plan b. steve: that is the part of the story that will make news. ainsley: just have changed in the bathroom. brian: would have taken me longer, would have bruised myself. ainsley: heard you lock it, why did he just lock it? i'm not going in? brian: i think he locked me out. i thought i it would open when i opened up the door. it doesn't. oh, no. it is a boeing. steve: let's hope we get another invitation back. brian: listen, we'll be on the border tomorrow. we have, we'll have another part of that interview that, it lasted 35 minutes. ainsley: a lot of people might

not know exactly what he does every day or what the job looks like. brian: he does not want to make any mistakes. he has a nomination coming up if he says something -- that was very nice of him to do that. steve: it was indeed. job well-done. we'll watch for the rest later this week. meanwhile joe biden says he asked former president obama not to endorse him but dozens of other obama officials have not endorsed joe yet either. ainsley: is that a bad sign? we'll ask someone who worked on obama's campaign next. ♪ ♪

see -- it goes on to talk about the fact that joe biden simply does not have -- you would think they would be loyal to him but you know, at this stage pause it's early, they're just not going to say i'm for biden? >> yeah, that's very true. it really comes down to substance over loyalty and it is early. a lot can happen. everybody is kind of wanting to get to the debates before they make a decision to endorse some candidates this is not atypical but joe biden is really, really going to have to work for this. i know him personally. even i am holding off endorsing, i want to get to the debates. let's see what they got to say. i want to hear their messages. steve: the debates will be on us in no time. robin, thanks for joining from us atlanta. >> thanks,. steve: steve it's a dozen minutes before the stop of the hour. you know her as host of fox news at night.
