david: joining me is karl rove, former senior adviser to president george w. bush. are democrats going to take a political hit for obstructionism in november? >> well, probably not much of a hit, but it really is bad for the countries. two ways they're obstructing. one is when president trump sends forward nominees, they're slow rolling the nominees, asking lots of questions, demanding lots of paperwork and slowing up the committee work, and then when they get ready to come to the floor, one member of the senate can invoke a rule that requires up to 30 hours be spent debating the nominee before he or she is brought to a vote. one member can do that. democrats have been doing that, not just in cases where they deserve to be debated, but in all instances or virtually all instances, as a result, if you take a look at it, how long is it taking for president trump's nominees to be confirmed? under president bush it took 44 days, and the senate was control for most of the first two years of bush's time in office but it took 44 days. under president obama, 65. under presid

karl rove former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor. your experience, karl, what do you think john bolton's day is like as he looks around the world and tries to triage deciding where the most important issue is to take to the president as he gets settled into his new job? >> i have known john a long time. we were in our 20s together at the republican national committee. he was research director. he had to mustache back then. as i recall, it was a little bit darker. not so gray. of course, i had lot more hair. his first day is going to be almost overwhelming. think about the immediate crisis that face him. we have the syrian gas attack. we have the necessary preparations for potential meeting five or six weeks or seven weeks in korea with the north koreans about denuclearization. we have an issue with regard to the president demanding a new policy or review of the existing policy with regard to the 2,000 u.s. special operators that are inside syria still fighting isis. then we have the deadlines coming up on the iranian nuclear deal. and

let's bring in karl rove, former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to george w. news contributor. so karl, do you share the president's conviction that clearly the memos show that there was no collusion? >> yes, for two reasons. first of all, these are very precise memos. you can just tell that immediately after leaving the white house, comey is putting his thoughts in order in order to share them with people around him. he's talking about hands and who is sitting where and how people's facial expressions were and so forth. anybody that precise and that voluminous in their reporting on it, if there was a moment in which there was any obstruction of justice, we would hear about it. he goes out of his way -- he never says, mr. president, we have the dossier and we're concerned about collusion between you or high-ranking officials. the absence of the topic being addressed says that when it comes to obstruction, there's no evidence whatsoever of obstruction. nothing is offered up to suggest collusion. there's actually ed to the opposite when it comes to obstruction.

karl rove is here to give political opinions. he was sitting there and an anchor chair.like jim was perino or fleischer. or even carney gibbs, but he was a chief of staff to the ambassador of china, so that's a pretty big deal. for him to now be anchoring, i don't mind hiring him, but i don't think you should be there giving obviously opinions on things while in an anchor chair as a former obama administration person because people at home don't know probably that he was in the administration. therefore people will think is a good-looking anchor who is telling me that the president is not using a dog whistle, but a bullhorn when it comes to racial overtones. that's why people get confused and don't know figures from real news. >> tucker: that's exactly it, i'm not afraid of other people's opinions. i don't like deceptions and that's what they're doing. joe, thank you. we've got more on this mexico story. brit hume is up next to react to it. we'll be right back. ♪ and whiskers on kittens ♪ ♪ bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens ♪ ♪ brown paper packages tied up wi

karl rove is here to give political opinions. jim sciutto was sitting in an anchor chair.ke jim was a dana perino or ari fleischer, press secretaries, or even -- he was a chief of staff to the ambassador to china. that is a pretty big deal. now for him to be anchoring, i think -- i don't mind hiring him but i don't think he can be there giving obviously opinions on things while in an anchor chair as a former obama administration person because people at home don't know probably that he was in the obama administration. he is not introduced that way. therefore people will think it's a good-looking anchor who is telling me that the president is not using p a dog whistle but a bullhorn when it comes to racial overtones around immigration. that is why people get confused and don't know fake news from real news and opinion from news on everybody's left scratching their head saying where do i find the truth. >> tucker: that's exactly it. i'm not afraid of other people's opinions. i don't like this option. that is what they are doing. joe, thank you. >> pleasure as always. >> tuck

i want to throw up a line from karl rove. of two positions, which is not promising for the leadership. one is the democrats take the house or the republicans have a diminished capacity. do you think paul ryan would stick around if it looked good for the gop in november? >> it is hard to say he would. if there was a more less of a frenemy in the white house right now. president trump has made it hard for them to do their job. remember back to the health care debate. president trump saying he would do one thing and then another. it scrambled the negotiations of the health care bill. you layer that with the upcoming mid-term elections. it really is a tough political decision for speaker ryan. he is a prolific fund-raiser. that said, so are kevin mccarthy and steve scalise. you should keep an eye on steve scalise. he is someone when you look at the caucus and if the mid-term elections go toward democrats. we will have a smaller, whiter and southern male conference. steve scalise is the man who would be the representative of a cau

karl rove, former senior adviser to president george w. bush, also a wall street journal columnist and fox news contributor. so welcome, karl, good to see you. >> thank you, sir. >> do you think that the politics of gun control politically and their impact on elections has changed fundamentally because of parkland and the student protest in. >> i don't think it's changed fun mentally but i think it has changed somewhat and i do think kim strassel's point about the gun control issue in suburban districts with well-educated voters particularly white women, college graduates, this issue is going to play a little bit differently in the republican candidates in those instances need to be able to point to things such as background checks and increasing the efficiency of the federal system to check people who shouldn't be receiving guns. paul: but is that enough, you will have to go further than that because the democrats will say, you passed that but that's not enough, you're already hearing them say we need assault-rifle ban and more aggressive

special prosecutor, new that from day one and pursued the criminal system for almost five years of karl rove and scooter libby but two reported said he talked to them about matt cooper and judith miller. and why did she recast? patrick fitzgerald said they misled her and she didn't understand her own notes because undercover, she recanted and helped convict an innocent man and she came out and applauded. if it is not somebody who committed a crime, this -- it is essential. >> host: we learn in the book "a higher loyalty" that scooter libby at one point was mark rich's attorney. >> they were together in the southern district of the war when mark rich got his pardon from bill clinton and got lots of running and actually it was comey who opened an investigation and as a constitutional lawyer that would give you pause. that is unfettered authority. >> you bribe the pres. for a pardon, that would be -- >> she gave hundreds of thousands of dollars but in that case i know the case very well. >> you cannot achieve a pardon by other means. >> you can. >> when james comey tells the story of scooter li

karl rove said the president's response could backfire. >> everybody has reason to be upset with senatorter, this is the worst kind of politics that makes people sick. the president better not respond in kind. he could turn this from a situation where tester's opponent can make this an issue of fairness and equity and what ought to go on in washington. if the president makes charges like he did and said i know things and i'm going to say these things, unless they're true, he could give tester a way to wiggle out of this. >> sounds like mr. rove doesn't want a tit for tat. isn't this what is so bad about politics right now? you're in the political arena. you've had to deal with things. seems like they can make these wild accusations and destroy someone's career over it. >> i was going to introduce admiral jackson. a come bad hero. a very good man. i don't think president helps himself by making idle threats to the senator from montana. i don't think he should say we taped the conversation to comey. stuff like that hurts more than it helps. here's what tester did. he had a bunch of allegat

gop strategist karl rove. juan williams. donna edwards and the head of heritage action for america, michael needham. there's no question we have a problem with chinese trade practices but is it the best solution to threaten them with tariffs? >> i don't think so. we have two problems. biggest problem is they are stealing our intellectual property. we miss the fact that on march 23, the administration filed what it should have done which is an action with the wto challenging from top to bottom on their intellectual property rights. that's where we can win big for the american companies and consumer and the concept of free trade. but tariffs, really problematic. presidents ever going to let the $60 billion. - - said the chinese are not going to retaliate. the chinese said we will respond with $50 billion in tariffs. the president says this is unfair i will come with $100 billion on tariffs.$160 billion on terrace will be paid by american taxpayers. this year, the value of the tax cut is $135 million to american taxpayers. econ

i didn't know who it was once, can you tell him to hold on, i'm on the phone with karl rove. he said, oh, i love a name dropper. [laughter] shepard: was she a worrier? >> i don't think so. shepard: i wondered in the days after 9/11, her son stood up they will all hear us soon, if that period which was just impossible for anybody to process if she was a worried mom. >> i'm sure she had to be, shep, to some extent. as pointed out here, they felt acutely the pressures on their kids and, in fact, 43 used to say that when his father was catching it, when he was president, that bothered him a whole lot more than it bothered him than he was president but bothered his father more. that's how they were. i'm sure she worried. you sensed here today in the service and what was said about her and the service itself that she was a person of bedrock faith, enduring faith and she believed that she's going to see robin again, that she's going to see her late parents and all the rest and -- and -- she was very practical because -- and i'm a worry ward, worry doesn't get you anywhere. if you're

the president has railed against the rush investigation for being unfair, but this morning, karl rove says there's a big difference in how patrick fitzgerald, the special counsel treated libby and how mueller is treating michael flynn. listen here. >> he took money from the turkish government filtered through a shell corporation in the netherlands, took half a million dollars in order to represent them in a matter here in the united states. he has lots of difficulties and rather than make him lose his pension and go to jail, bob miller said i'm going to get you on one count of lying to dual officials and then we will cut a deal to there's no jail time and no criminal fine. if he'd been a hot dog like fitzgerald, he would've gone out and done what fitzgerald did which is go to the max. >> at this point, there is nothing public on the president's schedule so unlikely will hear from him on any of this today other than the tweets. you have a briefing this afternoon and is bound to come up as someone like syria, national security council again this afternoon. coming out of the final decisi

karl rove. they have been held in contempt by congressional committees.and furious stuff really was heavily politicized. but it will come back. you are right. they will try to use it. >> the family doesn't feel that way. they feel like justice has not been given to this day. luckily, all documentation that they have been requesting for years is finally going to be turned over by the justice department after a long fight. and they believe that eric holder lied to them, that he was dishonest under oath, and believe me, republicans will use this against him if he decides to run because he deserves to be held accountable for it because he was not held accountable by barack obama. >> martha: good to see you both. such an outcome of the fight to make ending the life of this illegal is moving to pennsylvania. she has a deeply personal passion about this movement in america joins us in a moment. and dr. larry nasser is now in prison. but what about all the people who should have protected our olympic athletes and children? are they next in the hot seat? today's s
