>> no. when we entered into -- when we became sole proprietors in 2008, that was obviously more challenging. but, at the same time, we had affordable coverage and we had more options open to the sole proprietors. the aca seriously limited that. and i think we were in the first wave of those people who lost their insurance because of being sole proprietors. brian: from what you can tell the first 200 pages being released over a few days ago, is this going to be better for you. >> i have not read all 200 pages, of course, but from what i have read, i do see that there are waiver programs, amendments put in place to help those with preexisting conditions. i do think that it's important to continue to flesh out these things, to make sure. i'm concerned about some of the wide sweeping changes to medicaid. medicaid is also a network that helps to provide for people with disabilities like my daughter. but, i also sees a a person who is in touch with how we use medicaid as a network also to help that there is a lot of abuses in that and there is a lot of -- there needs to be more budgeting within those systems as well. >> brian: we will keep track of joanna and you eileen and see how it works out for you because it wasn't before. thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: get back up with that knee. >> thank you. brian: this person had the courage to stand up for his beliefs on obamacare and now he is getting death threats. look at this. i mean wish i had time to take care of my portfolio, but.. well, what are you doing tomorrow -10am?

[explosion] >> oh, i don't -- steve: video showing the moment a truck is obliterated in anti-terror test in the germany. the truck driver seriously hurt. the barrier future truck bomb attacks like the one that happened in east translast year. meanwhile the left holding nothing back on their attacks on the republican healthcare bill. now some calling it racist. >> they're just trying to erase anything that president obama did. i bet you they want to act like that man never existed. >> why do you think that is? >> that's racism. that's it. they had a black president and they want to get rid of it. that's what it is. ainsley: after next guest disagreed on "fox & friends" this weekend, he got death threats. but that's not stopping him from speaking out. his name, is he a conservative radio talk show host. he has been on our show aa lot. lawrence jones is here to react. what did you say that caused to you get these death threats. >> hey there, by the way. good morning. ainsley: good morning. >> i was essentially talking about how obamacare was affecting the black community, which is issues that effect all mercury talked about the 30 hour rule and how many black folks weren't able to keep their jobs because of the healthcare law. and it made a lot of people upset for some reason. steve: who are the death threats coming from. >> you know, interestingly enough. a lot of them came from white liberals and anarchists. i think they really understand now that my mission is to educate the black community about issues facing america and especially when it comes to the far left and progressive and how they continue to get the majority of the black vote. but they don't do anything for my community. and so what you are seeing now is these people trying to gang up on me and try to stop me but that's not happening. brian: doesn't sound like -- i never thought you were like that anyway. here are what some people are saying that got. steve: this person got suspended. brian: white loving black person betrayed the people he deserves to be strung up. sentiment you have been receiving. unlike what steve harvey and jim brown and kanye west got when they just visited the tower. said what is your agenda? this is what my approach was, just to have a shot at knowing the white power which donald trump would have next four years maybe 8 years of the white house. it doesn't really surprise me sadly. >> yeah. let me be clear, first of all, i'm not afraid for my safety. i live in texas where i am protected by the second amendment. these people right here they failed to acknowledge the failed policies of this first black president. i'm not going to give him a pass just because he was the first black president. he made a lot of promises to my community and i supported him in 2008. campaigned for him. so this is not a far right agenda trying to destroy this man. all i wanted him to do is what he said he was going to do, which was make our lives better. and any black person in america, if they can honestly say that this president made life for black america better through this healthcare bill law, i'll accept it but that's not true. steve: how did obamacare impact the black community? >> for example as i said in the beginning of this, the 30 hour rule affected my community harshly people couldn't get jobs because they wanted more hours. the 30 hour rule required them to get healthcare. when it comes to black small businesses, this healthcare law destroyed them. a lot of them went bankrupt over healthcare. and so, just those two issues alone, my momma has preexisting conditions, she has lupus. our insurance went up. the fact that this president said we could keep our healthcare. we were comfortable with what we had but we couldn't keep that insurance plan. it's issue after issue that this law hurt black america. i just want them to be honest about it let's have an honest policy debate about where we move forward but they don't want to do that. ainsley: what has the president done for the black community? >> president trump? ainsley: um-huh. >> he has this new deal for black america that i'm really interested in. when he talked about school choice, that is a major accomplishment. when we are talking about black businesses investing in those black businesses, that's going to bring jobs back to our community. i'm willing to get on board and support this president if he does what he says he is going to do. steve: all right. lawrence jones, host for "the blaze" on the radio. thanks for getting up early on this monday morning and telling your story. >> thanks, family, y'all take care. ainsley: newcomer emanuel macron defeating national isles marine le pen. katie hop cinsz was in the middle of the celebration and she is going to join us live next. steve: while you were sleeping, the yankees and cubs were playing baseball and playing baseball and playing baseball. how did it end and what time? got that coming up. brian: i shouldn't give the time? steve: no. ♪ goodness gracious ♪ great balls of fire ♪ you came along and you wooed me honey ♪ i changed my mind ♪ i was always "the girl with psoriasis." people don't stare anymore. i never joined in. that wasn't fair to any of us. i was covered. i tried lots of things over the years. but i didn't give up. i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. that still works. now? see me. see me. i found clear skin that lasts. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me to know... ...clear skin can last. don't hold back... ...ask your dermatologist if cosentyx can help you find clear skin that lasts. brian: after contentious campaign, france has elected a pro-european centrist emanuel macron as president. bringing an end to the candidacy of the far right pop police marine le pen. ainsley: what was last night's celebration at the louvre really like in france katie hopkins attended macron's rally in paris. she joins us now. good morning, katie. tell us what it was like. >> good morning. i should tell you, first up, i am not a macron supporter in no way do i endorse or support his presidency. but i did go to his party. i went to the louvre. i followed the masses of people that were going there. and you know what really struck he was that it was all some kind of allusion, really. i was given before i even knew why i was there. who i had spoken there what anybody was doing there i was given a t-shirt and everyone was equipped with rather tragic looking flags to wave. it became very choreographed, a whiff of propaganda about it every time the tv crews came to the party at the louvre they wave their flags proudly like they were told to do. they didn't even bother voting because it was all set in stone already. whoever was standing against marine le pen was going to win. certainly the way the stages was put out and all organized in advance it was very much knew he was going to win. and it felt very surface level. very kind of skin deep. there was nothing kind of authentic about it like we see with the trump election for for us with brexit. here it's very much the same picture. paris and the metropolitan areas love macron and the rest of france wants marine le pen. she got 11 million votes last night. steve: he won by a landslide. katie, i have got to ask you though. you know, last year, in your country, great britain with brexit, you know that came out of nowhere. this was never going to be a brexit moment, was it? >> oh, no, no, no. it was never going to be a brexit moment. macron was always going to win. that was very clear from the organization of the celebrations way in advance of the results being announced. we always knew he was going to win. you are completely right. 65%. a much bigger win than i anticipated actually. the person that came second was not marine le pen the 14 million voters who chose to abstain or spoil their ballot paper rather than vote for macron. of the 20 million people who vote for macron they weren't really voting for macron necessarily they were voting to stop marine. what really headquarter my heart last night and yes i do have a heart was that he walked up to the stage to the tune of the eu national anthem. joy. and i find that very difficult, indeed. this really is a man, you know, marine le pen said it well. whoever wins, it will be a woman. it will either be me or merkel. and i really do feel this is a win for merkel and loss for europe. brian: brussels is the new capital of france. sounds like. >> absolutely. brian: what does he stand for? he wants to hold onto the 35-hour workweek. he has nothing to really address a 23% of young people who are unemployed. and he wants to give money, something like 15,000 euros for people in their 20's to go do things cultural significance like go to movies and museums. what does that do? >> yeah. i mean, it really is off the scale bonkers, this guy. the fact that he has got in kind of fills me with fear. when you walk around. i walked out of the station to my hotel, it took me two or three blocks before i found a woman and found a white person. that's the dodgy areas of france as they currently sit. there is a 10% unemployment rate. employment regulation that he brought in. he is a banker. he is married to someone old enough to be his grand. found him school age 15. he doesn't have a real job. he doesn't have a children. he doesn't have a proper family so he doesn't connect to people. ainsley: he was a socialist at one point, wasn't he? >> yeah. is he basicallyhold in a newer younger kind of prettier, i don't see it myself guy. and ultimately, you know what? he thinks we can solve all the problems of the world by opening up borders and paying for a few people to go to the movies. in reality, you know, we just have the bataclan attacks. we have these kind of things to stop trucks from ramming in to people. another terror attack. have you got to question what this is this 38, 39-year-old going to do. his speech told us last night everything he was against. it didn't tell us anything that he was actually standing for. steve: she is not a fan of his but she went to his party last night. [laughter] steve: katie, thank you very much for joining us. [laughter] >> not a fan. steve: she is terrific. i like her a lot. brian: i just don't know where she stands. i have no idea. ainsley: so why did she vote for him? let's hand it over to jacque to find out what's going on here in america as far as headlines are concerned. jackie: we have serious news to get to this morning. former penn state fraternity brother breaking silence after 20 fellow brothers. left unconscious for 12 hours after falling down a flight of stairs. cordell davis claims he wanted to call 911 but no one would let him. >> said you are overreacting, you don't know what you are talking about. i said i a.m. do know what i'm talking about. you can have a concussion. basically they just wanted to make sure that they themselves were safe rather than tim truly being safe. jackie: charges against the fraternity members include involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering. restoring law and order. abbot signing a bill online banning sanctuary cities. the first to do so under the trump administration. >> texas is to keep them safe and that is exactly what we are going to do by me signing this law. jackie: the law allows the state to withhold funding from local

tom perez. >> healthcare because he doesn't give a [bleep] because this is a [bleep] budget. those republican leaders and president trump don't give a [bleep]. jackie: is he refusing to apologize for

greatest comfort during those transitions. steve: because wherever you were the book would go with you. >> the book was there. that's right. and ainsley, your book take heart my child is so warm and comforting and it's just gorgeous and it's exactly the type of book that can help ease difficult transitions. ainsley: i just love that those are my father's words and advice that my dad gave us

dad was in the army reserves and retired after 22 years. he was such a disciplinarian. whatever he learned in the military he would bring home to us and a lot of the values that they teach you fighting for our country, he would bring home and teach us. so a lot of these lessons in the books, in the pages when the kids, they don't have their parent at home they can read through these pages

guns. antonia okafor. good morning, good to see you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. ainsley: reading that is ridiculous, isn't it. >> absolutely. it really plays into the larger narrative which is that the media bias particularly the media bias against the second amendment and for gun control is something that we have unfortunately been hearing for a very long time. and it has steeped into now directly saying that the nra basic solid supporting isis in their efforts is absolutely absurd. brian: in the isis magazine they point out that can you get a semiautomatic weapon in the u.s. without a license. so go take advantage of that. ainsley: if you buy it at a gun show. brian: if you buy it at a gun show. >> absolutely. this is not the -- this isn't the first time that we have heard about gun show loopholes and the left using that myth to scare people. you know, the last week in texas we have already had horrific events on college campuses. uc austin we had a stabbing. unfortunately one person was killed. we also had a murder-suicide at community college. brian: remember ohio state trying to run over you with a car, this guy. and that is their new thing. should we ban trucks and cars? >> absolutely. no. and the fact that, you know, it's always been campus carry. i'm a campus carry activist. it has bulls been about personal protection not campus protection. we don't know what's going to happen on college campuses and off campus. the associated press had an article saying that while this was a test for campus carry and it failed basically that you know, a student was able to come and bring their gun and save the day. that's not the issue here. that has never been the defense. the defense is personal protection. and that's what the nra has been fighting for is for our personal individual right to keep and bear arms against attackers like ice isis who wants to harm us in our way of life in america. brian: yeah. they want soft targets. they don't want people that are going to shoot back at them these college campus killers. they want to just take you out. thanks so much antonia okafor, thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: condoleezza rice, dr. oz and
