3:02 am
that. ainsley: here is a little bit of that interview he had with ed. >> it really is virtually impenetrable. any walls that were put up, we could knock down very quickly, very easily. this is not something that can be knocked down. this wall can't be climbed. this have very, very hard. what the panel does on top what i said is structural it's also very hard to get by that panel. plus it's designed to absorb heat. so it's extremely hot. the wall you won't be able to touch it. i tell you this very strongly no more people can come in. we have done it with the help of mexico. we have done it with the help of border patrol. congress wouldn't do it. when i say congress the democrats just wouldn't do it. ainsley: he said that section right there is 14 miles long. 30 feet tall. spent $147 million on that project. it replaced a much shorter fence. some areas have 50 miles. some 40. one area has 17 miles. brian: right. there is a couple areas where the definition department is not spending the money they were told to spend because it's going to be a little bit more
3:03 am
expensive parts of arizona where the costs they say a little bit too high. in san diego, they were showing some improvements. ed henry actually was right in front of the wall when he caught up with the president. >> one border patrol agent told me no president has brought this kind of attention or resources so that now i can do my job. that's what he told me. >> we are making their job a lot safer, too. you know what else is happening. people aren't coming up. numbers are going way down. we are not doing catch and release anymore. we wish we had help from the democrats in congress. they want open borders. they will don't wants this. they want criminals to come in. they want human traffickers. steve: there is the president talking about the political component to it. ed is going to go one on one with the president at the border. part one of ed's interview with the president is going to be in 20 minutes. it's interesting because of the life availability that we saw last night on the "special report" show the president was talking about how the new wall this rolls
3:04 am
royce of walls is wired so when people try to break through it. then he asked the army corps of engineers head lieutenant general todd a little bit how that works. sir he said there could be merit in not discussing that in other words, we are not going to tell people how we will know trying to break through the fence. ainsley: a lot of people have asked especially the democrats i thought you said mexico was going to pay for the wall. i could easily slap a 5% tariff on automobiles and other goods coming into the u.s. i don't want to do that right now because mexico is so helpful. they have brought out 27,000 soldiers on the border to try to prevent people from coming in our country. they have broken up the drug cartels. he doesn't want to make them mad by slapping tariffs they have been so helpful unlike congress who needs to close loopholes. brian: the president says he wants 400 miles before election day. we will see how that goes. north of the border. they are having an election. liberal justin trudeau

3:07 am
brian: he went on to say he has always been more enthusiastic about costumes than sometimes is appropriate. i did not know that about him. steve: nelson weissman a professor at the university of toronto says he didn't think the photos released would cause people to vote differently: race based play a bigger role in u.s. politics than in canada. what do you think about this? friends@foxnews.com and also on facebook. ainsley: meanwhile a rolling stones interview they sat down with taylor swift why she is becoming so political all of a sudden. she said she voted by barack obama and such an amazing time when barack obama was nation foreign nations respected us. he has been the person that i voted for and he always won. and she said she doesn't want to hinder politics. she only wants to help. but she is cautious because she doesn't want to -- her involvement to backfire against democrats. brian: meanwhile, here is a quote from the article, i keep trying to learn as much
3:08 am
as i can about politics and become something i'm now obsessed with whereas before i was living in a political ambivalence because the person i had voted for had always won. we were such amazing time when president obama was president. foreign nations respected us. we are so excited to have a dignified person in the white house. but i'm focused on the 2020 election. i'm focused on how can i help and not hinder. because i don't want it to backfire again. because i do feel that celebrity involvement with hillary's campaign was used against he had her in a lot of ways. he always won. he won twice. number two is the other nations respected us? really as the russians steam rolled into two nearby nations, georgia and the ukraine and china made them leave off the cargo section of their plane in the last visit overseas. i'm thought really sure that that would be the perception while they also -- we watched in syria as another nation another and 500,000 people died because we did nothing. >> she says now the whole
3:09 am
rolling stone article regarding -- question regarding politics she was asked about white supremacist site that suggested that she was on their team and then she went into politics and then famously she got involved in politics by suggesting who people should vote for back in the last election. that person did not win, and then when the rolling stones said were you worried about it back firing and do you overthink it? she says i think about it all the time. she is very concerned about the planet. what do you think and politics in general. what do you think about what taylor swift did? remember, you know, she is getting involved in politics. she is also involved in a retail business. she would like to sell as many records and things as possible. does this harm or does this make you want to buy more things? ainsley: all right. let us know. friends@foxnews.com. meantime, hand it over to jillian who i understand had a birthday. jillian: thank you. ainsley: you were out for a few days did you have fun?

3:17 am
is a monster, he is a hid yus monster. sort of begs the question who hangs out with people like this? who hangs out with people like this and harvey weinstein? it's truly disgusting. what kind of politicians appeal to a guy like there? it's kind of hard to wrap your head around. but one thing that i think is definitely clear is that can you imagine if he was a big republican mega donor? we would see coverage wall-to-wall on every network about this guy. as it is everyone is just like oh, yeah, nothing here. move along, no story. and why did it take so long? this is not the first case. this is the third time we have known about this guy. and there have been terrific people out there like jazmine can nic who have been beating this drum for months and months and months about what a hideous monster this guy is and nobody has
3:18 am
done anything about it. why? steve: after the first guy was discovered to have died in his house and then the second guy and they didn't press charges. a lot of people out there were scratching their head going what is going on? why aren't they - they-taking it seriously? >> it raises real questions about whether or not there was political influence going on here. whether the fact he was so connected to people like hillary clinton and other major democrats whether or not that, you know, gave him some sort of cover. and had people slow-walking. we don't know the answer to that question. those are definitely questions that need to be answered. steve: right. >> where is the "new york times" right now? you know, they are so busy investigating brett kavanaugh, gee, why don't you investigate this guy? this would be a real good start for -- to repairing your reputation as a journalistic outfit. steve: what about members of the democratic party?
3:19 am
i know he has contributed close to half a million dollars to the democratic groups. he donated to barack obama and hillary clinton and according to a fox news story published in the last day or so, neither one of them have said anything about the donations from mr. buck. >> why should they? they are not getting heat over it. they are not getting pressured over it. the "new york times" isn't beating them up over it. and the "new york times" ought to be beating them up. please, go after ed buck and leave your fantasies about brett kavanaugh alone. go after this guy. this guy actually deserves the scrutiny and questions about the politicians who either, you know, did or maybe they didn't. either did or did not protect him. steve: let's see what happens. he is doubtless in trouble now. charlie hurt, thank you, sir, for joining us live today. >> thank you. steve: all right. meanwhile about 6:20 here in new york city.

3:25 am
>> good to be with you. steve: you say what once seemed like common sense into hate crimes. what used to be considered common sense that's now a rate crime in your opinion? >> well, we have been through a period in america and the rest of the west in recent decades where we have amazing rights attainments, amazing set of things. racial equality, quality for women. equality for sexual minorities. and it's almost as if in recent years we haven't been able to cope with the idea of getting to equality. we have raced back past that this is all like seeing a train pulling into its desired destination and getting ahead of steam and shooting off down the tracks scattering people in its wake. all of the time these days there are culture wars being fought over all of these issues. over lbgt issues. over reels between sexes. over racial issues. it's almost as if at the point that -- it's never
3:26 am
been better than. this we are portraying things as if it's never been worse. all of these identity issues isn't of being weaponized for i think purely political purposes. ainsley: what do you think about folks that might disagree with some progressive issues? >> well, i think the whole thing about this is that we have become very bad at thinking about any of these things because they have become an incredible dereks in our society about thinking. particularly about speaking. thinking out loud. as a result, a whole load of bad ideas come into the system. we just had one in recent days where the pop singer sam smith has said that he has come out as what he called nonbinary. having previously come out as said called gender queer. he doesn't know what any of this means. none of us do. it doesn't mean anything. but he is demanding that everyone changes the language they use. and the bbc and the u.k. and others have done that they have said they instead of he. and nobody is allowed to say
3:27 am
well, what does this actually mean? does it mean anything? and i think the answer is no. it doesn't mean very much. because you haven't done the thinking about it. but, all of these things just becoming incredibly bad about saying because there is a danger about saying it. whole careers now get destroyed on a daily basis for thinking something that everyone thought until about yesterday. ainsley: how do you care about what's happenings there in the u.k. to what's happening in america? is it already here? is it more in your area than it is here? >> the fascinating thing is america definitely leads the way in some of this madness. there is no disguising that i take these issues one by one, gay, women, race, trans. in each of them i think it's america that's shown the weaponization you have each of these things so we have examples and i give a lot of them in the book. we have examples of people who are gay who are conservative, or who, for instance, support trump being denounced by the gay press as not gay because they have got the wrong

politics. we have seen cases of many, many cases in america of black men and women who happen to be right wing and are denounced as no longer black. women who have not women if they have the wrong politics. germane grier doesn't tick, one of the most famous feminists of the 20th century doesn't click the right box on the trans issue. doesn't get to be in the last day and denounced as longer a family nis. and this is, in america particularly, keeps betraying the facts this is becoming not about identity, not about equality all of us are on board with equality. it's become about bruit politics. it's in politics that's worse. it's in america where it needs to be exposed and undone. ainsley: douglass murray if you want to pick up his book it's called "the madness of crowds." great to see you. >> my pleasure.

fed rate cuts. if you are the chairman of the fed waking up watching, this you may want to pour another cup of coffee. watch. >> let's start with some breaking news from the fed today. you were pretty upset that they only cut it a quarter of a percentage point and you said chairman powell has no guts, why? >> think we should do more because other countries have done more. if you look at germany and japan and so many others, they are cutting much more. in fact, they are borrowing money and getting paid to borrow money and we are paying interest. we are the most prime in the world. we have this great economy. we are doing better than we have ever done. our employment numbers are the best they have ever been. unemployment numbers, also. we are doing great. but we should be cutting. there is no inflation. ed: you are worried he is putting a wet blanket ahead of 2020. >> i think what he does -- i don't think he knows how to play the game very well. they have raised too fast. and i have been saying this openly. ed: um-huh. >> and they have lowered too slow. he took 25. some people were hoping for 50. he took 25. but the fact is when germany
3:35 am
gets paid to loan money, they are loaning -- they are borrowing money so they're borrowing -- think of it, they borrow money and when it comes time to pay back, people pay them. ed: right. >> we can't participate in that it's because of the fed. so i'm not thrilled put fed. but, despite that we have an incredible economy and we don't have inflation. ed: chairman powell's job is safe. >> it's safe, yeah. it's safe. sure, why not. ed: you paused? >> no, i don't pause. he has got a job. i'm disappointed in him. i'm very disappointed in him. i think he raised far too fast. he did quantitative tightening which is not a good thing to do. but it's all right. and, look, we have a great economy and it's not going to make the difference. it would have given us an edge and instead somebody else has an edge. they are so far behind us they can't catch us. ed: on iran tough new sanctions the "wall street journal" reporting you are behind the scenes trying to work diplomatic angles at the u.n. and have something short of actually war. why did you tweet locked and loaded if you don't want to

go to war? >> we will see what happens. you may have very strong hit. strongest military by far. when i came in we were depleted. now we are very powerful. we have new planes, in missiles, new everything. every form of equipment. we are building many new ships as you know. new submarines. we are doing things that we haven't done in many, many years. i came, in we were depleted. i told you yesterday very low on ammunition. and i'm being nice when i say that i said that should never happen to another put. we will see what happens. a lot of things could happen if we can have a peaceful solution that's good. it's possible that that won't happen. but there has never been a stronger country militarily. not even close. ed: let's talk about what's behind you because i have interviewed various democrats on the show and they will tell me this is a fan teas. there is no new wall being built. they have said that. >> this was not here two weeks ago. so this is all brand new wall. this goes miles up the mountain over here. this goes i mean you are seeing it. this goes miles down this direction. ed: about 14 miles so far
3:37 am
just here. >> this section is 14. but we are building many that are 50 and 40 and 17 and different areas we are building on many different sites. all up and down along the border. and they get hooked, in different contractors bid it out. this would be far too much for one contractor to build. you see the length of this. ed: absolutely. also have you two levels here because have you 18 feed over here. >> this is tijuana. this has been a very, very tough section. thousands of people are over there trying to get into our country. they can't get. in tijuana we have a double wall. that's an 18-foot wall. that's the border. and then if they get over here, they can't get up this wall. ed: i interviewed border patrol agents dozens can get over with ladders none over the 30 feet. >> we had championship mountain climbers and tested various walls. you have to have the see through availability otherwise you don't know who is on the other side. they weren't able to get over this wall. ed: one told me no president has brought this kind of

attention or resources so now can i do my job. that's what he told me. >> they are making the job a lot safer, too. what else is happening people aren't coming up. the neighbors are going way down and we're not doing watch and release anymore. we wish we had help from the democrats in congress but they want open borders. they don't want this. they wants criminals to come in. they want human traffickers. crooks. ed: what about republicans in congress, you had two years in the beginning. >> the problem is i didn't have the votes because in the senate we needed 60 votes and we only had as you know we were nine votes short. so we had 51. now we have then had a good election. ed: you would grants republicans in the power in the senate and house should have pushed harder. >> in the house we had no problem we could get it approved, right? in the senate we had 51 votes we needed 60. that means we needed 9 or 10 democrat votes they wouldn't give us any. no democrats. total misnomer. we had a tiny majority and we needed 9 to 10 votes and if we didn't get them and we
3:39 am
couldn't get. they we had the republican votes but we didn't have any democrat votes. so they wouldn't give us the votes. steve: ed? ed: yeah, it's interesting because when he was talking about those two walls, so you saw the 30-foot wall behind him. across the way about 50 yards closer to tijuana, mexico is that 18-foot wall. i was told by some border patrol agents on some days you will get 100 to 200 people get ladders long enough to get over the 18 feet. buff i was told that zero, absolutely zero have then made it over the 30-foot wall that's right there behind the president. that tells you that this is actually working. it's a success that the president's credits particulars don't want to talk about. brian: ed, the other thing is, for people to say there was a wall there, this is just better. what do you tell them? >> i tell them that this is the beginning of building what the president was talking about. dozens and dozens more miles that are actually going to keep illegal immigrants out.
3:40 am

3:47 am
comey said behind closed doors and in the report. >> how frustrating we don't know what congressman meadows knows what jim comey said under oath behind closed doortsz. so the allegation is he said some things under oath in secret. and then he said some things under oath in private. and they are inconsistent. they couldn't both be true and they were both under oath. they must have lied somewhere. that's congressman meadow's allegation. what he has done with it is the proper thing to do. said to the inspector general. can you resolve this? can you decide where the truth is? and if you think one of these is a lie, would you refer it to the u.s. attorney in connecticut? why connecticut? he is the person that's been assigned by the justice department to investigate and seek indictment. brian: sure. >> the inspector general, the fellow who was just on the screen, mike horowitz, dolls not seek indictments. he does not prosecute. he investigates present and former employees of the dorge, which includes the fbi, which, of course, includes james comey for a violation of internal justice department
3:48 am
regulations. if he comes across a violation of law and he thinks it's credible, he sends it to the folks in connecticut. steve: that's right now one of the reasons we think, i heard catherine herridge talk about this the other day we think the reason it's taken so long to get the inspector general's report is because there were inconsistencies in what other people said they were allowing those people to de-conflict what they said the first time. >> you are exactly right. because this is not a criminal prosecution, it would not be uncommon for the inspector general to sit down with jim comey say hey, jim, you said this on monday. you said this on tuesday. how could both be true? give us an explanation. the other issue for the delay is a lot of these documents are classified. and so before the inspector general can put these documents, even transcripts of interrogations that were done in secret, into his report, he has got to get the classification removed. that process takes weeks and weeks for the fbi to decide

is he wanted us to say we hadn't spoken to him. so and and we even went to negotiate the phrasing of that where we even were willing to say nothing. steve: so that's interesting. so, the way she makes it sound it's -- we had to say that we didn't talk to him or could it be simply he said okay, i will talk to you but you cannot attribute these comments to me. she says it that way is it different? you know, she was reluctant to speak about it last night. we don't know. ainsley: we don't know. these two ladies have written that book. they wrote the article which is a summary of what's in the book. if you want to learn more about it, buy their book. they are obviously on that book tour going on all these shows. sitting on the stage, talking about it. they wants you to buy their book and learn the story. brian: if you are going to sell the book by coming out about something deceptive about the book and blame the

4:10 am
promise involved. nor was it known if the whistle blower witnessed the president's conversation personally or learned through other means. the white house not commenting nor the director of national intelligence or any lawyer representing the said whistle blower. this as you mentioned, the inspector general of the intelligence community michael atkinson will testify before the house intelligence community behind closed doors at 9:00 a.m. chairman adam schiff issuing this statement late last night. the ig determined that the complaint is boast credible and urgent and should be transmitted to congress under the clear letter of the law. the committee places the highest importance on the whistle blowers and complaints to congress. schiff also announcing that acting dni, joe maguire has agreed to testify in open session next thursday. now, here's the point leader to leader communications are among the most sacred of any white house. it's fair to say, guys, this is likely to escalate in the coming days. brian: right. steve: griff, do we have any information, you know, if you go to the inspector general, and you are a

whistleblower, you don't automatically go to the "the washington post." so how did that wind up in the front page of "the washington post"? griff: we simply don't know. the inspector general atkinson confirmation in january said he would protect whistleblowers at every cost. but here's the thing. this is not the first time "the washington post" has reported on phone calls leaked to the press. they did so early on in the president's term in 2017 when the president spoke with both the leader of australia and with mexico. guys? brian: we found out both those stories and all that dialogue. ainsley: someone is talking. thank you, griff. steve: you know the president, the way he thinks, he is going to see that story and going to go somebody in the intel community is out to get me. brian: right no. one is out to get jillian. we just want to toss to her. >> thank you very much. good morning. we are following this story out of california if i can speak. stuart with a fox news alert now. because at least one person is dead when a tour bus crashes with country star josh turner's crew on board.

4:19 am
terrorist network to follow. there is no link chart to follow. so it's hard to target these guys. all right. they are radicalized via the internet. and, again, it is one reason why we can't take our eye off the ball. isis is not yet defeated. they still have a presence around the world. and we need to be rooting them out because they are very capable of spreading their propaganda and radicalizing people here in the united states. steve: all right. you know, when i heard the first news reporting about this congressman crenshaw, it sounded like the guy actually had a reason for it. he said, look, i was doing it to make a point because american airlines and the mechanics we have had stalled labor contract problems. which, you know, there have been labor problems. >> yeah. and that's entirely possible. i don't think we need to jump to the conclusion that there is a new outbreak of isis attacks just yet. certainly suspicious those two things were linked. ainsley: bernie sanders said if you can't afford to care

veteran care. and he knows that. but what he is doing is he is trying to rile people up. is he trying to make people angry. he is trying to tell victims or trying to tell veterans that they are victims. and that only he can take care of them. i just think that's such a dishonest way to do politics and i think he should be called out for it. brian: let's just add too hes was chairman of a committee overseeing the v.a. when it was at its worse and being exposed. he had a chance to run things and made it worse. dan crenshaw, thank you so much. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile straight ahead, they are two of the most high profile confirmation hearings ever. a new documentary is drawing parallels between justice clarence thomas and justice brett kavanaugh. ainsley: a former advisor to justice thomas reveals part of the story that you have not heard. and that's coming up next. ♪

congratulations. ainsley: charge everyone's credit cards. steve: i think you just did it again. the confirmation hearings justice clarence thomas 30 years ago in the 90's would go on to shape the future in the supreme court on politics a new documentary on fox nation shines a light on the side of the story that you have not yet heard. >> he said buddy, the liberal media any special interest groups will stop at nothing to change the minds of black people about me. i give you 15 to 20 years and i guarantee you the opinion of me will be unfavorable among that community. brian: the confirmation chronicles volume 2. here now with close colleague of justice thomas. welcome back to the couch. >> good morning. brian: when we see, this it will bring back a lot of memories. what else will it bring us to? >> it makes us realize that
4:27 am
there are special interest group who have such control and influence over members of congress, people in academia and entertainment that justice thomas will never ever forget the harassment charges against him. i mean, this seems like it was a century ago and it makes you never focus on what he does on the supreme court every day. there is no supreme court justice that understands the cases of the past and the research as well as justice thomas. they don't even realize the impact that he has had on the administrative state and regulations. just take a look at the city of arlington and how that influence and kavanaugh and being on the court today because they take these unauthorized powers and these administrative agencies across the country and they just wreak havoc on this country. and, yet, we continue to focus on harassment and, again, just like justice thomas, they want an asterisk by his name the same they want by kavanaugh. they want to dumb them down. this is how people want them to be remembered not for
4:28 am
their character and not the impact but especially thomas is having on the court almost 25 years later. ainsley: some parallels between justice kavanaugh and justice thomas. when you talk to your friend justice thomas, is it worth it and i look at these men to be on the supreme court, what a high honor, biggest honor for their profings. but is it worth it? >> yes. ainsley: what does he say to that? >> listen, i wald a little surprised when i -- i was a little surprised when i saw the clip. first two years when thomas was on the court, he was still trying to figure out what happened. why did this happen to me? why was there this character assassination? and you know the thing that we forget what thomas said when he used high tech lynching, we have to remember the context in which he mentioned it in. he said this is reserved for uppity black people. uppity black men who don't know what they think. who don't know their place. who don't know what to say. this is what the he a let in academia and entertainment and politic what is they do
4:29 am
because how dare you believe how you feel the way you feel about issues by family values and crime and abortion and these issues. he didn't know his place they reserved this thing for what they called the high tech lynching for him. steve: which is what he referred to it in his testimony. joe biden has been asked a lot about that confirmation hearing. here is orrin hatch talking about joe biden did not believe anita hill. >> biden told me personally that he didn't believe her. he said i don't know why she did this. i don't mean to malign joe, but joe told me didn't believe her. and there were some others who told me that too. >> go ahead. steve: i was going to say in armstrong the report claimed that anita hill was assured by senate staffers, democrats, that shield be able to sink thomas' nomination without ever having to publicly testify. >> they also made her believe that once thomas
4:30 am
heard these allegations he would withdraw his name and move on. >> i don't understand how she could think this. remember, anita worked for him at the department of education. steve: she was told by the democrats she could do that right? >> yeah. obviously didn't work that way because thomas was not allowed his reputation that he worked so hard for to be remembered of by some bogus sexual harassment allegation. brian: the report is that when he came out to defend himself, he gave up on the nomination. >> he was there to defend himself. he didn't know. it wasn't about confirmation at that point; is that true? >> he did not care. you know, there were three days of hearings. on the friday they felt it was doomed because of all the allegations and people hearing like some x-rated show you are listening to and all of a sudden thomas said forget about my being confirmed i don't care about that anymore. i want to fight for my name. ainsley: is joe biden still friends with justice thomas?
4:31 am
>> i'm not going to answer that a lot of respect for biden. a lot of the things confusing biden did the best he could under the pressure. he made it clear he spoke with several and said clearly we don't believe these charges nor does the evidence support it. we got to go through. this. ainsley: because they were close friends. >> in the end biden assured him repeatedly on the phone and in person, clarence, you will be confirmed. brian: a democrat. >> and he was. steve: and he was. brian: confirmation chronicles. on fox nation. another great reason to download the app. ainsley: netflix for conservatives. go get it if you don't have it. steve: straight ahead on this thursday, ed henry goes one on one with president trump at the border talking everything from 2020 to the second amendment. are gun control laws on the table? some changes in d.c. we will hear from the president and ed next. >> i'm a very strong believer in the assessment.

4:37 am
guns. and that's not good. because we're not going to allow that look. i'm a very strong believer in the second amendment you are too. we are going to protect our seconds amendment. we have plenty of ideas. >> you like to tweeted that you have 95% support in the republican party, which you do. are you wig to stand up to the nra and other republicans and say look we are going to do something? >> i am if it is not going to hurt a good, solid great american citizen from keeping his weapon because they want that. and they are entitled to that we have a second amendment. i don't want to have crazy people have guns. i don't want to have bad people have guns. but, we're going to do nothing to hurt the second amendment. and what we want to do is see if we can come up with a compromise, and that's what we're working on. ed: the fbi and fisa we heard these reports that andrew mccabe might be indicted. it hasn't happened. report came out on comey, it was a slap on the wrist. are you worried that some of these guys how believe were going after you are going to get off the hook. >> the report on comey was a horrible reported on him.
4:38 am
you will have to ask the attorney general about whatever is going on. and on mccabe, certainly what he has done is just despicable. we will see what happens. we will see where it all goes. i think that there is a lot of things happening right now. but we will see what happens. ed: jimmy carter says he thinks when he was 80 years old he wouldn't have been able to be president. seen as a shot at bernie sanders and joe biden. you put out a pretty tough web ad in the last couple days quoting not republicans but democrats saying that joe biden is not ready questioning his fitness for the job. are you getting ready for elizabeth warren or someone else who is rising in the polls and not facing joe biden? >> you know, whoever it is, my attitude is whoever it is, elizabeth warren is doing better than joe right now. joe is having a hard time. we will see what happens. whoever it is, i will take them on and we will do well. ed: you feel good about your standing and feel good about the economy. >> i think my standing is the best it has been. we had a poll today 51%. and that's despite all of the fake news and all of the -- i say the democrats and the media, really, are like one. as if one. but i think that we're

america it is working. can't say that enough. if, if republicans when they had the house had pushed harder perhaps he might have dozens and dozens more miles of fence. in fact one border patrol agent was so excited about telling me about it, i quoted him to the president, he was driving us towards the border to meet with the president he kind of lost his sense of how close we were to the border because he was talking. he was excited. ed, this is working for us. he jammed on brakes, got excited. oh gosh. i thought he spotted a smuggler, something was going on. he realize he lost where he was and almost drove into mexico. had to do a quick u-turn. what would have happened. the last time he heard about a border patrol agent accidentally driving into mexico he was detained for many hours. 20 or 30 federal is mexican police, surrounded vehicle.
5:08 am
a border patrol agent would-be armed. the mexican police take the gun away. take the radio away. detain you for hours. bottom line if he had not jammed on the brakes, producer nicky i, the crew we would have maybe stuck in mexico a few hours to explain myselves. i didn't have my passport. i might have missed interview with the president. it was a near miss. steve: maybe you should not distract the driver trying to figure out where they are twine the united states and mexico last time. reporter: i should have let him do his job. they do a great job. i was trying to interview and get important information. what he was saying no other president, no other leader in either party has given not just the resources the attention, the attending attention, now we can do our jobs. ainsley: we learned so much from the interviews, part one, part two, ed, i learned if you're in tijuana cross shorter wall, could be stuck in the middle of two walls. have to get over a 30-foot wall.

most people can't get over that wall. different contractors are responsible for different portions. it is too much for one contractor to do alone. you asked him about mexico paying for it. i could increase tariffs 5% in six months they would pay for the wall but i don't want to do they're they're helping us out. >> that is something he is not getting mexico to fulfill that promise. he is get taxpayer funds. can he follow through on that part of the campaign promise. my part, actually building the wall, he hasn't completed it to be clear. he is making progress on that. more importantly it is working. it is not just a political issue. it is working. it is preventing illegal immigrants to go into america. brian: one of the bollard fences will be a tourist attraction. ed, great job. >> one of the slabs with a sharpie magic marker. jillian has headlines. happy birthday to you, my friend.

want to sell a single copy of this is should be listed in fiction than nonfiction but part of the story. let's move on. one thing not going away continued protests of the courageous hong kong citizens standing up to their government because of the chinese, oppressive push to possibly have them face criminal charges in beijing. what is your take what our role should be as hong kong continues to invoke america and the american flag while standing up and hoping for freedom? >> i think it is pretty straightforward. the reason why hong kong matters so much to china because they have special status. they're treated differently from the main land. so they're not subject to tariffs. the chinese can do all kinds of business activity through honking kong because of the special status. that special status depends on the fact hong kong is autonomous and not under the thumb of beijing. increasingly it is under the thumb of beijing. we can't allow them to live in a

5:19 am
because they have to do something about it t was iran. houthis don't have the missiles. where they landed are indicative of a attack from southwest iran. there is more evidence about that. they don't have any missiles with that range or uavs with that range. the second point i think this proves why the iran deal was so flawed. the iran deal allows, allows iran to go ahead to continue to build missiles they used in the attack. it allows iran to build uavs. it allows iran to sponsor terror groups in the region that will eventually attack american troops and american interests in the region. not only it allows them. it pays them money they're using to fund those things. the president was right to get out of the iran deal. it's a terrible deal. what we need to do, the most crippling sanction we can impose, in addition to ones already in place, lay out the world, evidence, unmistakable evidence and turn to the jcpoa countries how can you continue to preserve and back a deal that pays iran to be able to continue to do these sorts of attacks.

war. muskets were weapons of war. cannons were weapons of war. our founders and people who made out the average everyday colonist that farmed washington's army owned weapons of war. that is one of the reasons why they were so well-armed. doesn't seem to me robert o'rourke understands his history on this. he keeps trying to find, justify this state-sanctioned theft of law fully owned property. but the bottom line is he will have to repeal the second amendment in order to achieve his objective that will not be something voters will go for. you're talking about fundamentally altering the fabric of the united states. brian: take for what it is worth, senator schumer panicking like cries coons, with beto o'rourke i don't know of any other democrat that agrees with beto o'rourke. owe is out on a limb politically. >> the party needs to condemn the rhetoric. every candidate, don't forget, every candidate was on stage at the last debate stage in houston
