anybody be better. >> dana: all right. tyrus, great to see you. been a couple weeks. >> made it. >> dana: thanks for joining us. i'm dana perino. i'm see you on "the five" in a couple hours. meantime, a real treat. here's bill hemmer. >> thank you, dana. welcome to friday. our reporting starts now on president trump. he's speaking at the moment for the first time after several developments at the justice department. the president addressing border patrol agents. we'll see if he weighs in the on the doj. federal prosecutors will not charge the former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe after claims he lied about a media leak. fox news learned an outside prosecutor will review the handling of michael flynn's case. he's trying to withdraw his guilty plea in the russia investigation. this is happening after bill barr publicly pushed back on the president's tweeting.

barr said it makes his job impossible. john roberts has an impossible job types. how are you doing? what happened with mccabe? >> contrary to what you said, this is the most interesting journalistic job on the planet. the president right now speaking to the national border patrol council. nothing yet on any of this. i'll tell you, what happened with mccabe today certainly is going to test any restraint that the president put in place since attorney general bill barr admonished him. the department of justice today informed mccabe's lawyers that they won't seek to prosecute him criminally for a leak of information in 2016 about the clinton foundation. a doj inspector general's report found that mccabe was not forthcoming. the president has been beating the drum that mccabe should be in jail. mccabe said he was relieved by the decision and saying he's and

others have been politically targeted by the president. listen here. >> the pursuit of political enemies and criminal investigations to exact some sort of revenge on those political enemies is not something that should be happening in the united states of america. >> in a statement, mccabe's attorney saying long last justice has been done in this matter. we said at the outset of the criminal investigation two years ago, the facts and the law determined the result, no charges would be brought. again, the president still hasn't tweeted act it but in trump terms, the day is still young. >> okay. stand by. meanwhile, what do we know about the review of michael flynn's case, john? >> we do know that another outside prosecutor has been appointed by the attorney general, bill barr. this one to look into the doj's handling of the flynn case and what the fbi did. one of the things that the prosecutor whose name is jeff jenson from the st. louis u.s. attorney's office will be looking into is the interview

that flynn did with the fbi in january of 2017 in which he made false statements. one of the agents that interviewed flynn that day is peter strzok. after the doj said that flynn should spend at least six months in jail, flynn said that he's going to withdraw that guilty plea and he is in the middle of doing that. the employment of jeff jenson is the second time that bill barr has done this. john durham, part of the u.s. attorney's office in connecticut has been looking into the origins of the russia investigation and it's really interesting to see, bill, the way that barr is appointing the outside prosecutors to review things that have already happened. and among some people, that is not sitting too well. bill? >> john, thank you. democrats are taking aim at bill barr, the a.g. this has been interesting for the past 18 hours. what are you hearing at the

white house? >> well, the democrats -- you heard elizabeth warren yesterday say he should resign or not resigned, impeached. the democrats are doubling down on it, a group of democratic senators, elizabeth warren, jeff blumenthal, bernie sanders sent a letter to him. you can see it on the screen calling for him to resign saying that he's broken trust with the american people. senator hirono of hawaii saying bill barr has betrayed that trust by politicizing the department of justice and service of donald trump. it's long past time for his resignation. despite the very public complaint from barr, the president seems okay with what he said. the white house issuing a statement saying the president is not bothered by it, but the president leaving no doubt as to who the boss is here tweeting the president has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case. quoting attorney general barr.

the president doing on to say, this doesn't mean that i do not have as president the legal right to do so. i do, but i have so far chosen not to. the way this appears to be playing out, bill, is that barr was really facing a revolt in the department of justice because he was going to reduce the recommended sentence that was going to be levied upon roger stone after his trial. he made the decision he says before the president tweeted about it. but the announcement didn't come out until afterwards. so barr put the attention back on the president, stop tweeting about it. he's changed the narrative but he's changed it to such a degree that he might invite more scrutiny from the president. >> they have been on the same page ever since he took the job. >> they have. >> thanks for that. we're going to bring in chris wallace, anchor of "fox news sunday." hello. not in new hampshire for a

change or on the road. i think the barr strategy is interesting, chris. he went public to throw a brush-back pitch and he went public to defend his own department. what is your read on that? >> i think you're exactly right. there was real turmoil inside the justice department over the decision of bill barr to basically overrule the recommendation from the four prosecutors on the roger stone case. a lot of people, independent people, say that was an overly harsh recommendation. but the fact was, it was announced just after the president's tweet complaining about it. sure looked like barr had caved to pressure from the president. barr in that interview with abc yesterday said i already made the decision. then the president tweeted. now i have to decide do i want to do what i believe is right, to undercut the recommendation or if i do that, it looks like i'm caving to the president. so that's why he basically was

making this plea, stop tweeting because you're making it impossible to do my job. >> or stop tweeting about cases that are pending. here's mitch mcconnell with brett last night. >> the attorney general said it's making it difficult for him to do his job. the president ought to listen to the attorney general who is an outstanding law enforcement officer. top person in the country. the president made a wise selection and picking bill bar. >> i don't know if you heard robert wray. he said they're both right. he said the president was justified to push back on the sentence for roger stone and bill barr was right nor going public with it. that was his read on it, chris. >> i think bill -- look, there's a couple things. you have an administration and the president is the head of the administration and he appoints the attorney general. but -- there's a lot of policy issues. let's say the justice department

decides to focus on drug cases or illegal immigration. that's a perfectly legitimate thing for the president to tell his attorney general, i want you to do that. when you get into criminal justice cases and prosecutions, politically charged cases involving either friends of the president like roger stone or enemies of the president like andrew mccabe, then for the president to weigh-in, a lot of people that the criminal justice system should be kept out of politics. >> you're going to talk 2020 over the weekend. did you see this poll out of nevada earlier today? it shows bernie sanders with a sizable lead. we'll see if that holds up next weekend. if he pulls that off, chris, he can make the argument that he's now 3 for 3 in these contests. iowa being disputed because there's no clear answer there. sanders would be yet again the clear frontrunner. this is causing a lot of problems for members of the democratic party in the house

that come from swing states. if you believe the party was stacked against bernie sanders in 2016, how do they stop him now? >> i'm not sure they can stop him. remember, this all comes against the backdrop of 2016 and all the complaints that bernie sanders made after. a rule of rules changes. for instance, diminishing the role of the super delegates despite the claims from bernie sanders. let's say for the sake of argument and an interesting experiment that you can argue that he got the most votes in iowa, he got the most votes in new hampshire. if he gets the most votes in nevada, he's the frontrunner for the nomination. he's got a clear lane on the left because elizabeth warren is in trouble. the moderate lane is clogged up. you have the buttigieg caravan, joe biden hanging on and amy

klobuchar and then super tuesday you have michael bloomberg. it's going to be a very interesting political argument. look, all kinds of things can happen super tuesday and beyond. if he has the plurality, you know, let alone the majority, even if he has the most delegates going to milwaukee in july, the national convention, can you stop him, should you stop him? >> going to be a story. thank you, sir. i'll see you sunday. a great line-up. kellyanne conway talking to chris over the weekend. he will have democratic candidate pete buttigieg, too, former mayor of south bend. that's on your local fox station. check chris out for the tv listings in your area. china revealing there's thousands of more cases on the coronavirus including a lot of healthcare workers. news on some of these americans that have been locked down on a cruise ship. hundreds of passengers getting their feet on solid ground. h, o♪

>> bill: a senior government official saying the u.s. reached a truce with the taliban that could eventually bring thousands of troops back home. news of that deal came as secretary of state mike pompeo and defense secretary mark esper met with afghanistan's president at a global security conference. they say the truce is not in effect but will be soon. jennifer griffin reports on that live from the pentagon today. jennifer? >> bill, it's note worthy that president trump has not tweeted about the deal. a sign of just how fragile it is and how a single suicide bomber could blow it up. mark esper and mike pompeo and the afghan president met on the sidelines and agreed to the terms of the peace plan.

hammered out with the taliban by pompeo's special envoy. the former u.s. ambassador to afghan. the details are sparse. here's what we know about the outline of the deal. a seven-day reduction of violence will be announced in the next week. no suicide bombings, rocket attacks or roadside bombs. neither u.s. troops or afghan troops can be targeted. that would lead to a signing ceremony in qatar by u.s. officials february 29, which would trigger preparations for peace talks between the afghan parties themselves beginning march 10 in oslo, norway. germany is a possible backup for those afghan talks. fox news has learned that the afghan government is willing to discuss the release of 3,000 to 5,000 taliban prisoners during those talks if a peace deal and power sharing deal can be hammered out, that would lead to a gradual reduction of troops.

bill? >> the number has been a 8,600. that's the target number. do you expect the u.s. to withdraw all troops? >> that's something that the taliban would like. i think it's unlikely. general scott miller was at the munich conference. he said he could reduce the force down to 8,500 american troops from the current 13,000. the question is whether the taliban would accept a small number of troops that they could jointly target isis. most believe some u.s. troops will need to stay but this could allow the president to make the promise of bringing most of the u.s. troops home. >> this is the first step in the process to reach a political solution. so it's going to take several weeks for this to unfold. it's very encouraging that we're heading down the path to a political solution.

>> many factors could still get in the way according to long-time afghan watcher. the taliban are united in wanting this deal and the pakistani backed network, which has killed more troops than any other has been a part of the talks. >> bill: thanks, jennifer griffin. democratic presidential candidate mike bloomberg paying social media influencers to boost his campaign with memes. this is a good example. shows a fake conversation with bloomberg asking an influencer online to make a post to let everybody know that he's a cool candidate. the influencer say that will cost a billion dollars. bloomberg said that wouldn't be a problem. jackie deangelis with me now on this. nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> bill: a meme is something online, you put words on it and shoot it out like a picture. that's what he's doing. explain the strategy. >> he's doing this on instagram. meme 2020 is the company.

cast a wide net. poke fun at himself as well. what is interesting, people are saying he's trying to buy the election here. that's what he's done spending all of this money. no matter what happens, they'll continue to say that. so the question is will it work? will he get a return on that? >> bill: influencer is somebody job line that has a lot of followers. you think he would reach out to people well-known. has he? >> he hasn't done that. facebook owns instagram. they say it's not been a political ad. they've been so controversial. they're saying it's sponsored content that you pay for. we're letting people know that. the issue is how do we deal with it? >> bill: a great question is. when you mentioned the money, $350 million to date and counting, a lot of these tv ads in florida. saw a lot of his tv ads in new hampshire.

have you seen a lot online? >> there is a lot online. he's going very strong in tv. so the number that i had is on the $350 million, 282 million in television. >> bill: he's said himself that tv is the great, shall i say, influencer on the american public still. >> absolutely. so he's trying to mix it up. there's a much stronger tv presence. while he's ignored iowa a little bit, he kind of ignored new hampshire. he's going after the super tuesday states especially california. >> bill: ignore new hampshire until wednesday and opened a campaign there. thanks. great to see you. thanks for being here. a fox news alert now. breaking news. lawyers for michael avenatti say they plan to appeal after a jury found him guilty of trying to extort millions from nike. avenatti is a lawyer that once represented a porn star, stormy daniels when she made accusations about president trump. david lee miller live in new york. what is the story now, david lee? >> the jury deliberated three

the sars epidemic years ago now, we seem to know more quickly than we are currently experiencing with this coronavirus. and i don't know that we know how to explain that. it's a problem -- >> bill: is that because of the chinese government? what is that? >> the answer to your question, bill, because of the chinese government, especially the last couple weeks, has been suppressing information with much more vigor. so for instance, the uscdc, cheer not in china. the world health organization has a delegation in china but they're cooling their heels. they're not at the seat of the spread. so clearly china is trying to prevent the world from knowing about what is going on. >> bill: let's come back to that point. what about the medical workers that were treating those that were sick and they got sick themselves. it was about 1,300. is that common? maybe 1,700. >> yeah, these the protective gear. that i were in gowns, gloves, masks on.

yet still getting sick, which goes to show that we don't know how somebody gets sick and how the virus is spread. is it so small that it gets around the perimeters of the face mask where the face mask is not the right one? many, many questions outstanding. >> bill: it could be because they don't understand it yet. compare it to bird flu in 2009 and ebola in 2014. is it fair? >> yes, they're all fair comparisons. we haven't decided if it's a pandemic. it's only spread in relatively small numbers compared to what is happening in china. so as we speak, there's still a debate, is this a pandemic or not. pandemic designation just allows the world national governments act more aggressively and do more aggressive tracking. >> bill: based on that, gordon,

do you think our knowledge would be different at this early stage if it wasn't in wuhan, china? >> yeah, i think certainly it would be -- especially in another country. there would be much more international cooperation. you would have seen the cdc in the country, checking patients. there's a lot that we don't know about how this started. there's a main theory, but january 24, article in the lancet, the british medical journal, says no, that's probably not it. the core questions we're talking about, we don't know. >> bill: i have two more questions. they have a new app they're distributing through the smart phone in china to help people diagnose themselves and get a sense of what storms they look for. does that help? >> helps a little bit. what china is trying to use the is big data and a.i. and a lot of the high tech. really the simple thing is just allowing people to talk freely

about this. because this disease spread because china in december and much of january just suppressed information, put people in jail, did all sorts of things. that's not what they should have done. they should have allowed everybody in and start talking. no last comment to you. mortality rates 2%. >> 2%. >> bill: how does that fare in your mind? >> it's a lot less but we don't know the denominator. we don't know how many people have the disease. since there's not enough testing capacity, they're allowing people to be diagnosed based on symptoms and a chest x-ray or a ct scan without confirming that they actually have the virus. >> bill: some of the medical experts say give it to spring. wait till the weather changes. you buy that? >> no. i don't know. no one really knows. it's very difficult to say that. the warmer weather may or may not have anything to do with the spread of the disease. we have no idea. this could become a seasonal

viral problem. >> bill: you're stumped, aren't you? >> totally stumped and flabbergasted like gordon. why the information is not getting out there. >> bill: so we have 15 cases in the u.s. does that suggest it's been better contained and many would give them credit? >> give who credit? >> bill: the chinese. >> i don't know how to answer that. there's 25 countries that have handfuls, a couple dozens of cases. >> bill: the overwhelming majority is still in mainland china. >> by far very, very true. it's one of the facts that we know. we don't know why other places have not spread with the same rapidity. we have no treatment for this disease. >> bill: doctor, thank you. gordon chang, thank you. more over the weekend, i'm certain. thanks, fellows. >> at this time we'll stop what we're doing and take a moment of silence in remembrance of the

lives lost at stoneman douglas. >> bill: communities across florida remembering the students and teachers killed at stone man douglas high school. two years ago, a gunman walked in killing 17 and injuring 17 others. phil keating reports. >> for stoneman douglas students, teachers, parents, the park land community at large, this valentine's day brings back painful memories. moving forward, attempting to, the school district dedicated today as a day of service and love. precisely 10:17 a.m., every school in the country including schools south of broward in miami-dade participated in that moment of silence to honor those lives, of those massacres at marjory stoneman two years ago. 17 others were badly wounded.

it was the worst shooting in florida and the worst high school shooting ever in the country. stoneman do stoneman douglas students offered up a breakfast for those in the school, which personally touched the sheriff. >> it's a good sign that we're starting to heal. it was difficult to come in and see these young folks giving us applause and saying thank you for our services. understanding that not too long ago, we came up short. >> the school superintendent says his schools are dramatically improved as far as safety and security go with more than $100 million invested including thousands of live feed cameras. the trial for the killer expected sometime this summer. >> bill: thanks, phil. we'll be right back after this. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchemel... cut.
