when you contrast that behavior with what happened with martha stewart, what's the difference? it all go wrong for her? >> where it went wrong had nothing to do with the insider trading. if you compare. the law was different back then. newman had not been decided. it's hard to tell but what went wrong for martha stewart was the obstruction, not necessarily the insider trading. somebody called her and told her buy this stock. she bought it and made money but when asked about where she got the tip from and so on and so forth, it was alleged she lied. the problem wasn't trading but responses to the agents. >> is phil mickelson truly in the clear at this point? billy seems like he's in a lot of hot water. is there a risk he will be pressed to provide more information to snare this high profile trophy of phil mickelson? >> you have the initial source and walters and then you have mickelson and with the second circuit said is there needs to be continuity of knowledge. fit was credible, who knows if the second circuit -- if the southern district would deem that credible enough to proc

. >> it harkens back to martha stewart.ght way by phil mickelson and his attorneys versus martha stewart which was handled the wrong way in terms of her not being for the right government and that is why she went to trial and got convicted of. dagen: martha stewart was never charged with criminal insider-trading. she was charged with lying to investigators and obstruction of justice. they didn't have the goods. it was denied beyond a reasonable doubt. >> even phil mickelson, he doesn't want to profit in any way he is not entitled to so we are giving the money back and quite frankly it also has to do with a real life sentence and the sec world and us attorneys, a huge amount of money, $900,000. dagen: a lot of money for a lot of people. >> they are looking at $90 million. those are the ones. dagen: what is this guy doing buying a stock on a tip from a known bookie? given the amount of money we saw how much phil mickelson makes every year. maybe -- >> they don't think like that. they think of it as the thrill of taking the ch

level one, martha stewart prison, to level 4, like an episode of oz. san quentin was changed to a level 2. >> hin mates are down gelow down. >> there i thought there would be gates, i would be strip searched. >> why? >> i am clear. do i need to? >> absolutely do not. >> this is what those who watch prison movies refer to as the yard. >> yes, house 3,864 inmates, currently, 731 on death row here at san quentin. >> be yourself. >> it is amazing hoults people give me that advice. >> for a guy who never walked inside of it a prison, what does it feel like? >> walking into a neighborhood i am unfamiliar with. >> thank you, sir. >> now it feels great. >> i am looking around, i see different groups of people in different areas. are the areas broken up? >> yes, they are broken up in a way. beyond the tennis court, the white guys are. basketball courts, african american guys, and behind us. the piecis, hispanic inmates. and northern hispanic, an area where they are at. the yard is segregated and have underground rules. >> it seems like the black guys got the ba

highest number of rehab programs by far and security prison levels range from a level one, like martha stewart to 4, like oz. in 1989, it was chacnged to a leveling two. it's not what i was expecting. i thought we were going to turn this corner and there would be several gates and i would strip searched. >> why would we strip search you? >> do we need to? >> let's be clear, no you do not. >> we house 3,864 inmates. currently there are 731 guys on death row here. >> is there anything i should be aware of or think is about or know know? >> just be yourself. >> it's amazing how many times you're given that advice. it feels like walking into a neighborhood i'm unfamiliar with. now it feels great. >> now you know. >> i'm looking round, i see different groups of people in different areas. >> the areas are broken up in a way. beyond the tennis court are primarily where the white guys are. there's a couple different areas for those guys. the basketball court is primarily where the african american guys are. and the pisas. those from mexico south, hispanic inmates wh s who are n californians so to say.

see, prison security levels range from level 1, think like a martha stewart prison, to level 4, like a really frothy episode of "oz." it used to be level 4 but was changed to level 2. i have to say, it's not what i was expecting. i thought we were turn this corner and there would be several gates, and i would be strip-searched. >> do we need to? >> no, you do not. sam, you absolutely do not. so this is what those of us who watch prison movies refer to as the yard. >> this is the yard at san quentin. we actually house 3,864 inmates here at this prison. currently there are 731 guys that are on death row here at san quentin. >> is there anything i should be aware of or think about or know as i walk in here? >> i think just be yourself. >> okay. it's amazing how many times people give you that advice. >> so for a guy who's never walked inside of a prison, what does that feel like? >> you know, it's funny. it feels like i'm walking into a neighborhood i'm unfamiliar with. >> nice comedy, brother. >> thank you, sir. now it feels great. >> now you know. >> i'm looking around, i see differen

and, again, let's get martha stewart on the horn and find out what happens when you lie to the feds. you when they ask questions, but you can't lie to them, and you could go to prison for it. the question with this ig report is did she understand the security risks that she was running, and the answer is clearly, yes, she certainly did. based on this techie, some techies shut down her server several times due to hacking concerns. and, in fact, the assistant secretary for diplomatic security sent her, hillary clinton, a memorandum that warned of a dramatic increase in attempts by cyber actors to compromise private e-mail and even in referencing google e-mail later on. so she knew. and there was -- and that goes directly -- sandra: i agree. her response is very confusing, because she just keeps pointing to this was common practice at the state department, and the ig report backs that up. condoleezza rice, we know, colin powell used their private e-mail. but, dagen, the private server was put in her home. we have no evidence that ever happened with any previous secretary of state. so th

stories, but he also was a great writer, he played pool with jackie gleason, he did a piece on martha stewartwas -- and it's increasingly rare to be able to say this -- one of the true gentlemen in the television business. harris: yeah, i knew about the lifetime award that he had gotten from the national academy of tv arts and science, 12 emmy awards, three pea bodies, i mean, just a whole list of acknowledgments within his own field of journalism. and i know a lot of people will say that's naval-gazing -- navel-gazing for us, but it does speak to how much he permeated here in america. >> he was such a fixture for so long that i think lots and lots and lots of people in america and around the world felt like they knew him, and they saw different sides of him. i didn't know, for example, he had started out as a canadian newspaperman. he grew up in canada. and also, you know, if you just look at what he has accomplished, i mean, i met him a couple of times, i did not know him well, but he is a guy who almost never that i can think of made the story about himself. he wasn't full of himself. he's

martha: ask martha stewart. >> yes. martha: bill. bill: 20 minutes past the hour.decrease in america's military strength. the number of active duty soldiers is about to hit a level we've not seen in 70 years. martha: from enemies toa lies, former republican rival who once slammed donald trump now getting behind donald trump. so will other republicans follow suit? that is the billion dollar question. >> we can not send this narcissist, nominate this eagan owe maniac. nominating donald trump is certain way for us to ruin our opportunity to make america great again. bill: fox news alert on this now. new report saying that the army has the fewest active duty soldiers wins world war ii. how did that happen? national security correspondent jennifer griffin live at pentagon. jennifer, good morning. how low are these u.s. army levels. reporter: bill, during the past year the army has been reduced by more than 16,500 soldiers that is the equivalent of three brigades. the army's active duty troops in march fell below 480,000. that is the lowest level since world war ii. what

that's the martha stewart crime.s week the fbi is negotiating with her attorney when, where and under what circumstances she will come in to be interviewed by the fbi. next week, the same aides that testified before the fbi will be testifying in front of video cameras in a freedom of information act case about whether or not there with as conspiracy in the office of the secretary of state to avoid transparency laws. mrs. clinton denied that the fbi reached out to her campaign. that is a joke. the fbi would never reach out to her campaign and it wouldn't reach out to her because she's represented by counsel. they'd reach out to her lawyer. at the same time, there was is dispute going on in the kremlin between the foreign ministry and the russian intelligence services whether or not to reveal the 20,000 e-mails that they have that they've received by hacking into mrs. clinton's e-mail account. stuart: what? the russian-- this is huge. the russians say they've got 20,000 e-mails that they hacked out of hillary clinton's

it's a martha stewart-like situation where he's profited according to the feds $900,000 and so that's a huge felony if he's convicted. stuart: he's not on trial. ashley: no. stuart: he's accepted the penalty of disgorging the property, but not in court. ashley: in the press conference, it was motivated by a big gambling debt he owed the guy who gave him the tip liz: who has been criminally charged. ashley: there's more to the story. stuart: many americans don't have $1,000 on cash to handle an emergency. they may have a credit line, but don't have the actual cash, $1,000 bucks. that's not a great sign for the economy. >> it's terrible liz: it spans all income groups, mosley $50,000, and below and they have access to credit lines and credit cards. stuart: suspicious, how many people do have $1,000 in cash in the bank account. >> wages remain flat, cost of living gone up. putting the pinch on people, it's a sad statement. >> you talk to executive at wal-mart, they think the number a lower. they're saying between 4 to $500 cash in the event of an emergency. yes, they have $1,000, but typ

martha stewart and, you know, everybody knows phil. >> but it also seems like the rules are changing.> the guy said hey you really augment to buy some of this stuff. so you give the money back so no one is saying -- but phil in the past there are all kind of under currents about phils, whether he has this big gambling problem. had a big equipment maker, you know, there are all these weird -- he does like the gamble. and people will gamble walking down the street on a piece of gum or something. pete rose. >> do you think you should have to receive a benefit on the other end? there is a real interesting question about fair markets and how it and the whole thing and there is that law. >> -- isn't that inside information. >> that is the question. >> it is hard being a decider. go ahead, sorry. >> when we come back, squawk booze news, we are getting ready for world whiskey day. we'll do that in a moment but first as we head to a break a quick check in the european markets right now. & in a world held back by compromise, businesses need the agility to do one thing & another. only at&t has t

martha: alice stewart, communication director for the cruz campaign. >> thank you, martha, good for having me. martha: there is a lot of talk about good and evil on campaign trail, coming from the cruz camp over past couple days? why is that? why frame it in those terms? >> well, first and foremost because ted has been out there at campaign trail talking about his positive vision, uplifting vision for future of this country. about his actual solutions and plans to create jobs and improve the economy. strengthen our national security, as well as work to fight immigration. whereas donald trump on other hand has done nothing but insult his competitors, insult people all throughout the process, denigrate the process itself, calling the convention process crooked and those taking part in it, as being underhanded and engaging in some kind of a nefarious activity. -- is to the white house. it is about providing solutions. >> a couple stories out there this morning asking about the pacs support cruz campaign. there are four major pacs that support the cruz camp
