dana. >> dana: i think the chances of getting the nomination are much more plausible than his path toncy. there is no more superdelegates. he won on that point. he also won a lot of the heart and soul of the democrat party. you see the crowds he has. to dismiss him out of hand, it's too early to do so. if you have that many people running, it doesn't take -- you can see where he might be able to get a path to the nomination. he said he was going to register as a democrat. >> marie: he registered for his next senate run as an independent per he's registered in two different parties. dagen, it seems to be there's that piece of the democratic party and he seems to be beating out elizabeth warren in the polling. in the name i.d. >> dagen: i think he has intentionally done a number on the other democratic candidates because he rolled out this medicare fraud bill and they signed on to it. who has endorsed it? kamala harris, elizabeth warren, kirsten gillibrand, and cory booker. it rips up medicare as we know it. it outlaws private insurance in this country. more than 150 million people will

>> dana: democrats not letting up.g subpoenas unpromising it's not the end. >> these conclusions raise more questions than they answer. we will ask the attorney general to testify the house judiciary committee. we will demand the release of the full report. >> there is significant evidence of collusion and we have set that out time and time again. >> i trust in his prosecutorial judgment but that doesn't mean there isn't compelling and incriminating evidence that should be shared with the american people. >> he's appointed by trump. he's not elected by the people and you can put very little credence in what he sang. he is a trump appointee put into protect trump. that's why trump put him in. >> dana: martha, i want to ask you two things. house minority leader kevin mccarthy today also echoed what kellyanne kellyanne conwad that schiff should step down from the intelligence committee and then the second piece, bill barr, stellar reputation in d.c., just confirmed by the united states senate. now public enemy number one.

dana? >> dana: thank you. we've got a live look inside the white house briefing room as we wait for the acting budget director and press secretary sarah sanders to come to the podium. our next guest is a pilot with flying experience. he joining us with the unique viewpoint on boeing's troubles following two deadly crashes in five months. south indiana's mayor on the campaign trail with a broad swipe at a prominent politician from his home state. what he's saying about vice president mike pence. our political panel is on deck with reaction, ahead. >> these two believe they disagree with him on these things. i thought at least it doesn't do anything to us.

dana: i'm so simpleminded. i still want to know who knew what when when it comes to some of these crucial issues. our film did not really -- it is very different from the "new york times" reporting. we didn't get into the leadership and their role in decision-making. that's, i think, is critical because we are at a stage right now where we have big choices to make about not only facebook but other tech companies that have become so monopolistic that they are crushing any competition in innovation. to me, it is like the industrial revolution and reforms that eventually came in. we are at that phase where we are maybe not quite there yet but, at some point, people will have to start deciding how much power they will really give to them, now that they know how much power they have. knowing howe of much power they have is just coming to light now. host: it is interesting. through a dual stock structure -- host: it is interesting. through a dual stock structure that give his shares bigger power, mark zuckerberg is t

it was an email instead of sending it to dana perino they sent it to dana at the "washington post." >ana is. >> our producer, megan, do you remember the text message i sent by mistake? >> [laughing]. >> did you think if i spell checked it too? >> wow, it must be be bad. >> the producers told brian he is not to tell that story. >> absolutely not. >> lisa? >> when i was working on capitol hill, i sent an email to a constituent and i meant to go to the co worker. it was a happy hour plan. >> [laughing]. >> it was super embarrassing. >> juan? >> well, i hit reply all when i shouldn't. the biggest one you write know email and then all of a sudden, wiki leaks swoops in. suddenly everybody is telling me why did you say that? oh my god. >> will i forgot about that. i don't send any replay all emails. >> that's tricky. >> someone sent the wrong message to me and it was hilarious. >> was it about you? >> yes. >> was it good? >> no, the person used to work here and talked about me and how i dressed and sent it to me. >> how you dressed? >> yes. >> what was the problem? >> i will tell you later.

first to you, dana.e should step back and say that this special counsel, robert mueller and his team, were tenderest with a narrow task. to investigate russia's, into their moves into the election and if there was a tide of the trump campaign. we will know sooner rather than later what the fallout from this is. >> when we first found out at the beginning of this hour, the news that the report has been delivered to the attorney general, one thing i ask people to remember is that, well, of course the president wants to know what it's going to say about him and his campaign and any associates from the campaign. there is also something very instructive to america coming from this report, we imagine. that is the extent to which russia tried to interfere in america's elections. we also know from our intelligence agencies that those efforts continue. and i don't think in this report they are going to say, here's how we recommend america handle it going forward. but knowing the extent to which russia went, and r

>> dana: will joe biden do that?'m looking for the democrat to say, oh, i don't need to worry about talking about something that might happen in 50 years if we change electoral college. electoral college not going to change for the 2020 election, okay, in i think they are wasting their time. where was president trump today? in ohio. what was he talking about? manufacturing the drop in economy. >> what have we been talking about electoral college for an entire week. so they are missing the opportunity. he is basically saying, you want to talk about the economy, great, i'm here. he's ready to take the slings and arrows but they are talking about electoral college. that is great in san francisco and new york city but not great and all the states. you have to win in 2020. if you want to win. >> tucker: dana, thank you so much. it was great to see you tonight. >> dana: thank you, bye-bye. >> tucker: two more institutions under further attack the second amendment and objective press. this week, received something called cr

dana, thank you, dana perino. doug burns joins us, former prosecutor. doug, obviously showing a great deal of confidence of the president and his attorney general and the report itself for him to say go ahead, bring it out there, give to it people, whatever you can, i'm fine with it. what do you think? >> there's been political pivots, having nothing to do with this. as you have explained perfectly, the political pivots are we can't trust how the attorney general summarized this. this f. you break it down that's a silly argument, we'll find out when we see the report whether or not he accurately summarized it. and, again, sounds political on my part but legally it's incredibly unlikely that bill barr would not accurately do it. and i think i heard you say, neil that, the special counsel would have corrected him. the other pivots have to do with we want to see everything, and you heard pundit after pundit, legal expert after legal expert explain grand jury material, rule 6-e of the federal procedure, it's a crime to disclose it without a court order. and

dana: i newsed to glare at you -- ed: now we're working together.dana: to find out in this hour there was no collusion -- ed: working together through history right now. our colleague, shannon bream, is live in washington. bret baier will be back at 8 p.m. eastern. shannon bream in washington with more fox news special coverage. dana: thanks. ♪ ♪ >> it was just announced, there was no collusion with russia. the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. there was no collusion with russia. there was no obstruction, none whatsoever. and it was a complete and total exoneration. shannon: president trump just minutes ago reacting to the news from attorney general bill barr that, quote, the special counsel's investigation did not find that the trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election. i'm shannon bream in washington. we've got fox team

>> first of all, dana, thank you for the opportunity.ainst the resolution because i agree with the policy. i think there is an emergency, a crisis at the border, it requires more money than we appropriated, and furthermore, when the president announced his support or he would sign the appropriations bill that only put up $1.375 billion for additional border security, he also announced he would be declaring a national emergency. it's not a matter of loyalty to the president but to the policies i agree with. >> if this were a democratic president, give me some north dakota candor here. if this were a democratic president, oyou wouldn't be saying the same thing. >> a north dakota candidate comes with north dakota common sense. we believe in border security in north dakota. we believe a wall is part of that, and i would support that president. this issue we've been debating has been done 58 times. we're not breaking new ground. i'd like to think i was with the president. if they can make the precedent and the case for the border wall, i woul

that's what we should hope for, exactly as dana said. it would be great if we could go back not to investigations of criminality but to debates over policy. i mean, it's kind of taken a backseat over these last months whether it was health care or the environment or the economy or all of that and wouldn't it be great if that took the front seat and that's what we focused on between now and the very consequential election in november of 2020. >> bret: just a process thing here. a security official from special counsel mueller's office delivered hard copies of the special counsel's report by hand to the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein's office this afternoon. also officials tell fox that only a few people at doj have copies of the mueller report. obviously attorney general barr, deputy attorney general rosenstein are the very small group who have copies and are reading the report as mentioned in his letter to congress. there could be some information that he comes forward with to the committees, to the judiciary committees, as soon

dana: it rang all the alarms. they were more worried than the cia people, the people who worked at the agency. lives ind their whole a classified arena. i found that these people who had much less to lose because there was no way someone who started talking to us would be legally prosecuted, that would bring so much publicity. they were culturally so scared. -- i had already started looking at facebook for the post. talking to an intermediary, phil bennett, who brought me into the project. just from that experience, the comparison between talking to cia people about classified information, dod people about operations, and here i was in the civilian america having this very strange experience. was a lot of these people were very young. they were probably scared to death. company that claims happya community based company that is positive instill still that in people? it rang every alarm bell. whatrticular interest was was happening overseas. i had done a little bit of work on that. basici followed some rules for st

dana: they were blindsided.hink that was made clear by the fact that the news was posted on the blog post and they found out about it. they say theyt -- found out when the media found out. it was stunning for the staff. emily: the stores are already closing. you reported there is a store in is closed, palm springs that is closed, and if you call the stores, it is rerouted to another location. dana: our understanding was that mosque would be evaluating the stores. it's clear the low performing stores are already closed. emily: let's talk about the reaction from investors. shares have recovered a little bit from lowe's today, but we spoke to one investor who sold all of his tesla shares. it painsestor tweeted " me to say this, since i love the company, but we have sold our position in tesla for our advisory clients. i believe the decision to close retail stores is a bad one and proves weakness in the company. -- company." is that what most of the pessimistic investors are telling you? dana: it's important to notic

>> well, you took the words out of my mouth, dana. to rattle trump's cage. i think the north koreans were very disappointed with the outcome in hanoi because what they imagined was that they would symbolically shut down the nuclear reactor, one of their many nuclear sites and in return, the americans would grant them wide ranging sanctions relief and that was not an offer. and i think to president trump's credit, he did not agree to that deal which would have been a very bad deal because we know the north koreans have many other nuclear facilities and that agreement would not even touch their arsenal of nuclear weapons or missiles. but clearly the north koreans are now signaling that if you don't give us what we want, we may do something you dislike which is resuming testing of nuclear missiles because that is the one thing president trump has made clear is his red line. he said he is in no hurry to see them deflunuclearize. it's kind of what laborious to hear the north korean spokes woman say kim and trump have this mysterious alchem
