Thats basically who he was. He also called for basically activist. Everyone if you have time. If you can mention anything, can i make a suggestion, make sure you join the kids, the students when they march on washington on the 24th of march. And he also made some other suggestions along the way. I mean, i dont really know, i think that the one thing consistent is that the ratings go down every year. I could not get through it i wanted because i knew we were going to be talking about it today, four hours and 50 minutes. Steve i watched the beginning 20 minutes. Ainsley if you are a democrat you love it, republican you probably dont watch. Black panther i havent seen that movie. Nongianji. They sat on the stage and talked about being dreamers, listen to this. And like everyone in this room and everyone watching at home, we are dreamers. Dreamers are the foundation of hollywood and dreams are the foundation of america. And to all the dreamers out there, we stand with you. [cheers and applause] steve so it was political. We kind of knew it was going to be. But, a lot of people tune in because this is supposed to be one of the funniest shows of the year. And that hasnt happened for a long time. Matt drudge tweeted out he said the president of the United States was actually funnier than jimmy kimmel at the gridiron dinner the night before in washington, d. C. If you read the president s comments, it was really funny. Ainsley most of us didnt get an invitation. Steve one of his lines were we were late tonight because jared could not get through security. And then the president also said i like turnover. I like chaos. Its really good. Who is going to be next to leave steve miller or melania. Brian talk about pay gap and major issues. Hollywood is not only better than the average american and businesses. You can argue that he theyre worse in terms of the Sexual Harassment and everything like that. In terms of gender pay. They say that compared to men, in most professions, women make 80 cents to the dollar. According to Natalie Portman in hollywood its 30 cents to the dollar. Clean up your own house when it comes to gender pay and all these other behaviors in the office before you start condemning people. Ainsley if you live in glass houses. Dolly parton was interviewed and asked about her politics. She said, you know, i dont want to talk with that im an entertainer. I dont want to talk about politics.

Cue the media meltdown. This tariff is lashing out in indiscriminate way. All its done is raise threats and worries and concerns over protectionism. Brian whats the real story on tariffs.

Maybe be able to give a little bit of health to the steel and Aluminum Industries. You will cause damage to any number of downstream industries and any number of industries that export to countries that are like lie to retaliate. Tariffs involve collaboration. He doesnt have a collaboration bone in his body. Brian economists and media many in cases going over the top on the president s plan to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum should be official by friday of this week. What do the tariffs mean for the forgotten men and women who voted for the president. Joining us is the president of the 1219, united Steel Workers union in braddock, pennsylvania. Jim, your reaction to the president s announcement about pending tariffs. Its been a breath of fresh air to actually have a politician that actually acts on it we have heard for too long some people that have talked about trade and actually havent done anything for it. Its been up to us. The Steel Workers to actually have to fight these trade cases. Its a huge amount of resources and money and time. Normally by the time we get a good ruling on a trade case. We have lost too many jobs at that point. Its refreshing to hear. Brian what are the numbers in terms of steel jobs lost . I dont have the number on me right now. With our company u. S. Steel, since 2015, i think we had somewhere around 4,000 or 5,000 people laid off. Brian the wall street journal said you are helping 140,000 Steel Workers, perhaps. Actually hurting industries that employ 6. 5 million americans. I dont believe that a lot of people especially in the stock market, they react based off emotion. I think, you know, once this is all straightened out, everything we actually understanding what these tariffs are going to mean. The market is going to balance out. And it wont be as bad as people think. Brian jim, you look like a young guy but evidently george bush did the same thing one year steel tariff at 30 . He wasnt working. He basically said all right. Im going to pull the plug on that. Whats going to be different now . You know, that was right after a lot of steel consolidation with companies. Huge bankruptcies in 2002. And we consolidated a lot of our steel companies. I do think that opportunity allowed for our companies to modernize our facilities be able to invest in our facilities and workers at the time. And actually helped level the Playing Field for us. Thats what we are looking for right now is a level Playing Field. Just to be able to compete on the same level of these countries that cheat. Look at south korea. No real use for ocg goods there. They export it to america. They put our pipe mills like works in illinois out of the business. We are looking to get that market share back. Brian two big partners are south korea and canada. Work with coveted ally he is when it comes to steel they are not playing fair. Not as far as south korea is concerned. Canada we have more of a balanced trade relationship with them. So i dont think canada i think canada actually should be excluded from this. Thats obviously yet to be seen. But in regards to south korea, yes. They have been its been bad how much the job losses have been. Brian real quick. The word union at the end of your title. Thats not usually something with a republican president. Do you feel as though this is something that might change your mind about a republican president . To be honest with you donald trump got a lot of support out of our plant this last election due to the fact that trade was a big issue he talked about during the elections cycle. Not too many of the other republican candidates even talked about trade excepts for donald trump. That resonated with our manipulate and something the membership and something r members were excited to hear and he reacted on it and we applaud him for that. Brian we know you have a full dale of work ahead of you. Jim johnson. Thank you. Thank you. Brian Campaign Promise to americas Blue Collar Workers isnt the only one that the president has kept. Why would many on the left rather be talking about a joke he made about being president for life. Coming to a college near you. Convicted leaker Chelsea Manning talking ethics . Seriously . To places never been do you put me down we knew you were trouble when you walked in the day after chemo might mean a trip back to the doctors office, just for a shot. But why go back there, when you can stay home, with Neulasta Onpro . Strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. In a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17 to 1 , a 94 decrease. Applied the day of chemo, Neulasta Onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. Neulasta is for certain Cancer Patients receiving strong chemotherapy. Do not take neulasta if youre allergic to neulasta or Neupogen Filgrastim . Ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. Report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. In patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. The most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. So why go back there . If youd rather be home, ask your doctor about Neulasta Onpro.

Government secrets leaker Chelsea Manning gearing um to lecture students on things. Ethics. Former military analyst 35 years in prison for disclosing classified documents to wikileaks. President trump commuted her sentence last year steve, down to you. Steve thank you very much, ainsley. President trump joking he may, quote, give a shot some day toy being president for life like the president xi while saying it was no laughing leader. Chinas leader just became absolute dictator for life praised, of course, by the president , President Trump. He jokes about the fact that sounds pretty good maybe i could be that. That need to be in the center of action is so great with him. What about the exact that he is praising president xi who leads a repressive country and consolidated his power. About china saying we should copy their dictator. Seeing some senses maybe thats what he wants. Steve are the media ignoring his leadership to sensationalize comments like this just to make him look bad . Here to debate we have democratic strategist joel payne down in our nations capital. President of independent womens voices tammy bruce. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Steve with we goethe both agree i was joking about being president for life. Agree. I certainly agreement for my friend on the other side there the president knows even with a joke he can control the entire narrative dynamic. There is so much angst with the democratic side. All the 35er8s have now been cleched into dust. This is what is fast sin nation. He controls the narrative in that fashion. It is really about also having a sense of humor and knowing of course what the mess seeming is. And really just about that with americas media. The buyer world is knows the president is kidding America Media doesnt want to notice it but has no sense of humor themselves. Steve the New York Times themselves on oped page said mr. Trump was surely joking about becoming president for life from . Their lips to gods ears i hope he was joking. Look at this president , he has failed every test of leadership. This is not conjecture. This is not opinion. He has failed. Thats why he was historically low approval numbers. Thats why Many Americans who put their trust in him are having second thoughts. He was already the third choice for president behind people who chose not to vote for Hillary Clinton. This is where factors come in. As a matter of fact, his numbers today over the weekend were exactly where Barack Obamas were at the same time. Millennials in zogby report has millennials supporting him at 49 or 50 . When it comes to the Second Amendment. 65 of Millennials Want the Second Amendment. Want their right to own a firearm. We dont know those things because the media doesnt report that joel has to say i believe because the media is not reporting the facts of the success of his policies which is why these numbers are going up. Whether its the tax reform or making America Great again. And, of course, worrying about middle class and our Steel Workers and everyone else. Tammy, respectfully, i can list off everything that he has failed at. He has failed at comforter and chief. He has failed as actually a policy as someone who has accomplished policy in office. Tax reform is the only thing. Extra cash in everybodys wallets it changes our lives. You know that. It makes a difference in whether you have a vacation or pate rent. Whether you can put money into your childs Education Fund he has failed at military leadership. I disagree with that sir. Ask isis about our military leadership. Yeah. Can you ask isis about president obama as well. Steve joel, lets fixate for a moment how has he failed in the military. How has he failed in the military . Military leadership. The niger raid, that was a complete disaster and handling of the war widow after that. A complete disaster and egg on his face. International community laughs at him. He is mocked. President putin of russia, as Hillary Clinton said, he is one of the puppet in the white house and he has got one. When you had the Oslo International gathering, he was cheered like a rock star. So we have got facts that counter act everything you noted but the democrats will only survive if they join reality and admit the nature of what is really going on in this country. Steve great chat to get peoples blood boiling this morning. Thank you for joining us live. What do you think about that . Please email us at friends foxnews. Com. Faith under fire.

Brian governor Mike Huckabee in a still shot playing the guitar as he did every week when he was doing the huckabee show on sunday with his little rockers and also take super stars at fox who have interest in music and he would put them in the band. Ainsley i know. I loved that part of his show. Mike huckabee, the former governor of arkansas. Former Fox News Contributor and former g. O. P. President ial candidate. Those are just a few of the things on his resume. He was also on the board of the cma. Steve for about a minute. Ainsley for about a minute. He divided to resign. Were you pushed out . I know some people had a problem with your conservative values and views. Surprisingly in the Country Music world. Were you pushed out . What exactly happened there . Whats the story . Well, when it became controversial, i knew it was going to be a distraction. Thats not i wanted to be. My reason for being involved in it and i was so thrilled to be asked because for decades i have been trying to get music in the arts in Public Schools. Pushed that in my own state. Worked nationally across every kind of barrier to put Musical Instruments in the hands of kids which i think is lifechanging. It certainly was for me as a kid. I wouldnt be who i am and where i am today without it and the controversy came. Somebody was upset because im a member of the nra and im conserving and im a christian and i hold some views that this person didnt like. And so, you know, it just wasnt worth it to push it. So i lasted less time in that job than Anthony Scaramucci did at the white house. [laughter] you know, i made him look like a lifer. So, as a result in and out like a 24 hour virus. Steve okay. So here is a quote from one of the music execs who did not want you there jason owen. Huckabee has a language has a profoundly negative impact on young people all across the country not to mention how harmful and damaging his deep involvement with the nra is what a shameful choice. What do you say that you have a different point of view than he does. Are they looking for only likeminded people on that board now or was it you particularly . I couldnt answer that. Here is what i know. The new direction of the left is in the name of tolerance being intoler rants and in the name of love, hate people. In the name of its not enough to say i disagree and wish this person would change his mind. Today its lets put him out of business. Lets close his store. Lets not allow him to continue to operate a business. Lets damage him professionally. Lets hurt his brand. I mean, its all about destroying the other side. Rather than disagreeing with the other side. Thats not the kind of america where the First Amendment reigns and people are free to speak, associate. Today its lets destroy everyone who doesnt agree with me. Sadly, there was a young artist in kentucky who has a similar name to this guy, and this troubles me. A lot of people who thought they were supporting me. Went out and attacked this guy. So i went to twitter last night and i said, guys. Wrong guy. This young artist in kentucky is 22 years old. We need to support him. Lets buy his music. Lets show him that this is not who we are. And i said lets not punish the cma because the fact is if they are going to put Musical Instruments in the hands of kids, then im for them. The fact that im not going to be a part of it is irrelevant. They dont need me but kids need Musical Instruments and thats what this ought to be about. Steve its too bad it ended that way. Ainsley if it is all about that, then why didnt they keep you on the board . Steve how about hollywood hypocrisy. You called out celebrities for double standard on guns. Well, i think its a little ridiculous that people in hollywood are so against law abiding citizens who have never pointed a gun at anybody and every day in hollywood they produce movies in which there are mass murders with automatic weapons. And the glorification of murder. The glorification of the misuse of weapons is at the hands of hollywood. Gray up in aim too. I know here we go. You never saw Beaver Cleaver pointing a gun at somebody in school. When i went to school we had all kinds of guns in high school. They were stuffily tucked in the back of peoples window of a pickup truck. Noble ever thought about murdering somebody. Ainsley what changed then . Why are kids doing this in school now . Two things changed. One, we have lost a god consciousness. We have lost a sense of accountability. A sense that there is something that we are going to answer for. Ainsley yeah. The other thing we have lost is this notion that there is a fantasy and there is reality. And we have erased those lines and people grow up conditioned to killing through their games and through movies. Im not saying thats the sole reason. It isnt. But it gives us this mind set and conditioning. And when people arent mentally stable. They dont know how to separated reality from fantasy. Brian governor, real quick, before we move on to israel and i know there are fewer People Better to talk about Israeli Foreign policy and the threat from lebanon to syria. Real quick, on guns, do you want to seat president do anything . Do you like marchibletoomey . Do you like anything to fix nics with senator cornyn . And senator murphy, do you want them to do anything on this . If they can strengthen the background checks, thats great. If they want to raise the age to 21. Make exceptions for somebody who has been in the marine corps for three years if he went in at 17 and we have asked him to carry a gun into battle. I think its a little ridiculous to say he has got to wait a couple years before he can get one there are some things that could be it needs to be reasonable and not punish the lawabiding citizen. Thats the key. Brian israelis Prime Minister under fire at home is visiting with the president today and they are good buddies and they are true allies in and out of politics. However, if you are looking at the Peace Process with the palestinians, to come out of this know the real threat we understand is coming from hezbollah and syria and iran and russia who have combined forces and a war could be imminent. Am i correct . Well, i dont know if the war is imminent. There is always a threat from hezbollah, from syria, from lebanon, because of hezbollah u and thats backed by iran and russia is the willing participant to stand by. Here is the real key. If we have a threat from russia. Its not so much what they are doing on facebook. Its what they are doing to arm hezbollah and how they are playing a double game and secretly helping iran. Thats what ought to be frightening to us. Because that threatens not just israel, but every one of the gulf states u whether its cutter, saudi arabia, emirates. Serve threatened by enhanced hezbollah, financed by iran. Steve governor, you are over in israel all the time. We spoke to you about a week or 10 days ago when billy graham died that day and you were over in jerusalem. What is the israeli opinion of this president and his quest to try to solve the problems over there. Even the left wing israelis who dont like him personally cannot help but realize that here is a man who finally, after 70 years, has recognized jerusalem is the capital, is going to move the embassy. Really standing with israel in its battle to constantly stay independent free and allow full rides for earn. Including its women. Unlike most of the countries in the middle east. This is a true light in the midst of a lot of darkness. And so how can they argue with the leadership that the president has shown and the guest you had on a few minutes ago saying he failed at leadership. I dont know what his definition of leadership is. This is a president who has actually done some things that has changed the world in a positive way. And made it better, safe safer certainly for israel. Steve sounds like mr. Trump would like go to embassy when it opens. Governor, thank you for joining us from the panhandle. Ainsley thank you, governor. Brian governor Mike Huckabee. 1 minutes before the top of the hour. Lets turn to extreme weather now. Restore power to thousands as the northeast braces for a another major storm. Steve at least nine people have died in this past storm, including an 11yearold boy who was crushed when a fallen tree smashed into his house in upstate new york. Up there. Ainsley know is on the way. Janice is tracking the next round of winter weather. When can we expect this . Thats coming on wednesday. Differential from the last storm. Not as strong but the possibility for more snow in areas that didnt get the snow. Take a look at it see the current temperatures. Cold enough for snow right now in new york city. We are tracking a blizzard. Part of this energy is what is going to create our next noreaster across the northeast. Northern plains right now. We have the potential for a blizzard in parts of the dakotas and nebraska. And then also behind this system its going to be so windy that we will have critical fire danger across the central and southern plains. Winter weather advisories, as well as blizzard warnings in effect as you can see. There is the first alert forecast precipitation. 6, 1, even 18 inches of snow. This is going to move across the ohio valley and into the northeast. Also combine with energy from the atlantic. That is going to bring our next noreaster. Now, there is the potential for a bust here in new york city but we are on the side of caution. Advisories new jersey, pennsylvania and parts of new england could get a blockbuster storm again. This is wednesday into thursday. You are warned. Steve you said noreaster again. Janice that ground hog is right. Ainsley it always happens in march. Dont be surprised. Steve i know. Brian coming upen our show former clinton staff walks into cpac and leaves with a picture of ben shapiro. Meet the democratic that want all of to us reach across the aisle.

Steve serious and silent criminals were arrested in california. 180 of the 232 people rounded up are either convicted criminals, have an order to leave the United States or have been previously deported. 115 people have prior felony or significant misdemeanor convictions. Ice claims the agency could have arrested 800 more illegals had oakland mayor libby schaaf not sent out infamous public warning. And more memorial cross could say soon be in jeopardy. Comes after a federal Appeals Court refuses to consider a ruling that found 91yearold war memorial cross in maryland as unconstitutional. An Atheist Group argues the peace cross gives the impression only christians are being honored. Federal judge warns this decision could lead to the removal of memorial crosses nationwide, including at Arlington National cemetery. Brian now there is a good idea. Last month thousands gathered in washington the conservative Political Action conference. Ainsley but, what is it like to attend if you are a democrat . Steve good question. Well, in a new wall street journal oped, our next guest describes her experience, quote shouldnt we want to engage with people who arent convinced of our viewpoints . Why arent there more conservatives at democratic rallies and more liberals at cpac in what are we afraid of it. Former Hillary Clinton staff and the founder of the flip side dot io and joins us right now. Good morning to you. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Steve why did you want to go to cpac . Thats a great question. As you said i worked for the Hillary Campaign in 2016. But since then i have actually found a different mission which is to bridge the gap between liberals and conservatives. Everyone loves to talk about the evils of media bias and social media echo chambers. I didnt see any solutions that would appeal to the.

Carley frankie says you guys noticed how no one in the auditorium gave a standing occasion for our military and veterans during dedication montage. Yet they stand for almost every celebrity and wonder why everyone thinks they are out of touch. Alsays thats hollywood for you, doesnt like the military and what they do for us, but will take 12milliondollar paychecks to act in a war movie. Miles says maybe because they were being respectful.

President is forging ahead with his plan to tariffs on steel aluminum despite the criticism here and abroad. Desksding the decision on twitter saying we are on the losing side of almost all trade deals. Sorry, its time for a change. Make America Great again. Its been a breath of fresh air to actually have a politician that actually acts on it thats what were looking at right now is just a level Playing Field to compete on the same level. Dreamers expire today back and forth no solution. Ainsley President Trump is hosting Benjamin Netanyahu at the white house. To discuss rising tensions in north korea and syria. Carley Academy Awards expecting to bring positivitpositivity turning soum the start. This is history right here. Oscar is 90 years old tonight, which means he is probably at home right now watching fox news brian i dont know if you heard. The president has a twitter account now. He has already tweeted this morning about whats going on in the world today. Ainsley he tweets . Brian is he starting to tweet regularly. Steve he is not going to stop until he gets enough ainsley what does it say, steve . Steve in the las last few minutes the president has tweeted the reaction negative to tariffs. We will have Peter Navarro. Three tweets in last 10 minutes. First up large trade deaf swits mexico and canada. Nafta under renegation right now has been a bad deal for u. S. A. Massive relocation of companies and jobs. Tariffs on steel and aluminum will only come off if new and fair nafta agreement is signed. Also, canada must treat our farmers better. Highly restrictive u canada and mexico must do much more on stopping drugs from pouring into the United States. They have not done what needs to be done. Millions of people addicted and dying. Brian interesting. Now in the eighth round of nafta negotiations. They are not going well but at least they are moving forward to some degree. They are saying that a lot of nafta negotiators dont have much flexibility because the president has given them staunch marching orders. Dont budge on this. Then also some word two weeks ago that the president was considering going into the tpp if it was under better conditions. Then in come these tariffs. The president seemed to be indicating with that tweet that theyre all linked. Steve some negotiation. Ainsley in january he did announce tariffs on solar panels and on washing machines. This is a new tariff. He says the reason he is doing this because we have made stupid trade deals in the past. He used that you word stupid. He said we have 800 billion in yearly trade deficits because of what former administrations have done not putting america first. Brian weird thing is with tariffs its not cut and dry. Its complicated. You look at what george bush did, he put 30 tariff on steel. And after a year, they said lets undo this because it wasnt working. It wasnt effective. Steve well, brian was talking to jim johnson. He is the president of a local 1219 for the united Steel Workers. And this guy is so happy that we finally have a president in the white house who actually is following through on something he campaigned on, heres part of that conversation with brian just about an hour ago. It has been a breath of fresh air to have a politician that actually acts on it we have heard for too long some people that have talked about trade and actually havent done anything for it its been up to us as Steel Workers to actually have to fight these trade cases. Its a huge amount of resources and time. Normally by the time we get a good ruling on a trade case we have lost too many jobs at that point. Its exciting to see that he actually acted upon it and we applaud him for that. Brian its divided his own cabinet. Gary cohn says i dont want you to do that pete navarro says i do want to do this. He wins this battle. This is what the wall street journal said on friday. By using this tariff. Will hurt 6. 5 million americans to the benefit of 140,000 Steel Workers. Will hurt canada and south korea the most. Not china. Is that the intention . Does Peter Navarro want to push back on that . Ainsley china says they are going to take necessary measures depending on how it does affect them and their interest. This article says its not going to affect china . Steve 6. 5 million americans involved in trade involved in steel. The question is how much im sure you were watching and saw wilbur ross hold up a can of soup saying its a fraction of a penny the amount of the cost thats going to go up. Ainsley half of a 1 its going to affect the price of a car. Steve ultimately what the president is trying to do it does sound like is he negotiating trade deals with this stuff is will it save the Steel Industry in the United States and the aluminum industry . And there are hundreds of thousands of jobs involved. We are going to talk to Peter Navarro the president s trade guy. Is he going to be with us exactly 10 minutes from now on this channel. Brian will there be any carveouts for the European Union or canada. Steve he says no. Brian European Union says if you do this we will target jeans, harley and whiskey. Which are exactly the three things i used over the weekend. Ainsley did you wear a helmet. Brian i did. Ainsley didnt drink the whiskey and then drive the harley. Brian everybody buy the jeans before the tariffs come in. Steve last night was a Big Television show did. You watch the oscars . Well, if you didnt. It might have been you were worried it was political and they didnt let you down. Ainsley here is a montage of jimmy kimmel who hosted the oscars last night. She was born in mexico and raised in kenya. Let the tweet storm from the president s toilet begin u oscar is 90 years old tonight, which means is he probably at home right now watching fox news. [laughter] we dont make films like call me by your name for money. We make them to upset mike pence. [laughter] steve okay. Matt drudgpointed outpresident r at the gridiron. Applause track ramped up while audience doesnt match intensity. Which is interesting. Ainsley basically if you are democrat, you are going to love it if you are a staunch conservative you are not going to think its funny. Brian people just watching a movie and they watched across to thank movie goers for going and let an average every day person introduce. I love that. Steve you want to make it people go to movies. Not just the political left. Why do they make it so political . I dont know. Thats a business decision they made. We asked you what you thought and we got a bunch of responses. Ainsley jim mihm my kimmel so out of touch with america values. Ryan brian the real winner at the oscars was me. I didnt waste my time watching because of all of the liberal antitrump political rhetoric. Ainsley you made a good point in the first hour you said people want to go to the movies to relax. I dont want to look at the actress and actor and think oh she said this and he said. This i want to just go and listen to the script and watch the movie. Brian Jennifer Lawrence who has come out firmly against trump over the last two years but not recently red sparrow tanked at the box was. Said it was one of the worst movies. I wonder if its related that she polarized her audience. Ainsley look at the ratings for the oscars now. Brian see you later. Im working on them now. Steve we shouldnt be surprised though at the ratings at the beginning jimmy kimmel did say if anybody is going to win an oscar, this is your opportunity to go ahead and talk about you know whether its equal rights or, you know, those kids from Parkland High School are going to have that rally at the end of the month. Brian or dreamers. Steve right they beginning encouraging people to be political. Brian other thing i thought was good on the positive side. Whoever wins shortest speech wins 17,000 jet ski and went to some Costume Designer who said thank you under 30 seconds and ended up with 17,000 jet can i. Ainsley actors are saying i can afford five jet skis. 7 09. Turning to other headlines.

On trade you correctly identified the probable of china dumping steel throughout the world destroy the american Steel Industry. Your solution is let china off the hook. Its only going to hurt American Consumers and their allies, please consider your solution. Steve okay there have you republican senator Lindsey Graham with his opinion warning the president s steel tariffs only serve to let china off the hook. Brian Peter Navarro is director of the White House Trade Council often thought to be the most fervent in support of these tariffs. Peter, whats your response to senator Lindsey Graham and others. You let china off the hook and hurt china and south korea more with 25 tariffs on steel and 10 on aluminum. Brian, the mission here is to save our aluminum and Steel Industries for the purpose of the preserving our economic and national security. Thats what this is all about. We have imports coming in across the globe threatening those two industries. As the president said, we cant have a country without aluminum Steel Industry. Lets look at aluminum. Since 2013, we have lost six smelters. We only have five left. Two of them working at full capacity. We have one only one that does High Purity Aluminum for defense purposes. If we lose that we have to rely on china and some countries in the middle east for that. This is untenable. So, the question is, do we want to save those industries . The president says yes. And then what are the costs . Virtually no cost here. There is no downstream price impact. If you put a 10 tariff on live in the newsroom cent and a half on beer and 320 on 330,000,777 bowing. 330,000,. We need to look at the chess board and say do you want a Steel Industry and aluminum industry in the president feels very strongly. Go ahead. Steve peter, the president himself was tweeting about i dont know if you have seen the new tweets, but he says we have large trade deficits with mexico and canada. Nafta under renegation right now bad deal for the United States. Massive relocation of companies and jobs. Here is the important part. Tariffs on steel and aluminum will only come off if new and fair nafta agreement is signed u it sounds like the president is putting these tariffs on to get those two countries to sign a new nativity tanchts the purpose of the tariffs is to defend our steel and Aluminum Industries. Steve i understand that but it sounds like is he negotiating. I understand if we get a great nafta agreement and ambassador lighthizer is trying to do that, that would be a great thing for the American People. At this point in time, 25 on steel. 10 on aluminum. No cuts or exclusions, firm line in the sand. Brian south korea and canada one and two coveted allies. Josh bolten former chief of staff for president bush was complimentary on your guys trade and taxes. He said we tried this before under bush. We had a tariff. It didnt work. Listen. I dont know if Peter Navarro would be willing to bet his job that he is right that there wont be retaliation. But he ought to be willing to make that bet. Because he is betting the jobs of tens of thousands of americans who depend on these export markets that there wont be retaliation. History is completely against him on that. Brian and eu is going to target jeans, harley and whiskey. Electrolux and bmw. Lobbyist on case reader full throat against. This who cares . We have the politicians. Everybody in the swamp is rising up against it you know, at the end of the day, were getting a bad deal. And the president has said quite clearly, and quite correctly. That these countries around the world are running huge trade surpluses with us. We are shifting our wealth offshore. They are taking our jobs and factories. All we are trying to do with our trade policy is get a level Playing Field. What w. This particular case brian and steel, the aluminum and Steel Industry, this is different. We veto defend those we haveo defend those industries and keep them on american soil. Steve no one should be surprised the president is doing. This he said he was going to do it when he was running for president. What is this shock and surprise . Go back 20 years and watch the president talking about trade and this is very consistent. And so, what is it . These people dont believe that the president keeps his word . First thing he did when he got here. He got out of tpp. Renegiating nafta and south korea deal. This is great president doing great things for men and women who work with their hands. Brian Peter Navarro thanks so much. Still ahead, far left, is that where the Democratic Party is heading . We will talk to some people about that. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen .

The nra target of gun control supporters thats whats happening in the world. Politics go over the ledge. Ainsley thank you, brian. We see you up there. Great job. California democrat taking a hard left as we head into the mid terms. Democrats they are refusing now to endorse senator Dianne Feinstein for reelection. Some say its because she is not progressive enough. Steve could this move away from the senator be the future of the entire Democratic Party . Is that where theyre headed . Lets discuss that former special counsel to president bill clinton and author of the new book called the unmaking of the president 2016, how fbi director james comey cost Hillary Clinton the presidency. Lanny davis joins us. Lanny, good morning to you. Good morning, nice to be back. Steve its great to have you as well. Lanny, usually when people get closer to an election, they go toward the center, to appeal to more moderates. Your party is going so far to the left it, may actually alienate. So people on the left. Well, i would like to hope that the small slice of a slice of a slice called California Democratic Convention Delegates who regard Dianne Feinstein one of the great progressives in the history of the Democratic Party as not liberal enough are heading over the cliff alone and not taking the rest of the california Democratic Party with them. I would suggest to you that there are minority of a minority. Of course, Dianne Feinstein should be primaried. Thats good for politics. Its good for the Democratic Party. Anile list ought to do it alone and not taking the Democratic Party with them. Ainsley do you think Bernie Sanders has anything to do with this. He got a lot of votes by the younger individuals in the Democratic Party. Do you think thats why they are saying okay, we have got to go we have got to go so extreme. Bernie sanders would oppose helping donald trump as he has and supported Hillary Clinton as he did and these democrats in california that call Dianne Feinstein one of the great progressives in the history of the Democratic Party as not progressive enough, would take the Democratic Party over the cliff and help donald trump, Bernie Sanders doesnt support that. Steve lanny, lets talk about your new book. You and the president of the United States actually agree on something, that is about james comey meddling in the election of 2016. Well, i do agree with donald trump on one thing. And that is james comey should have been fired. But for different reasons. I think he should have been fired because he thinks he gets to choose which rules to follow and which rules not. Why . Because is he a narcissist who gets to decide who is right and who is wrong rather than following the rule. President trump fired him because he was troubled about the russian investigation. And i think that was the wrong reason. Ainsley at first everyone thought is he in hillarys camp because of that press conference in the middle of the summer. He ihe a few days before the election he decides to bring up out case again. My book really proves as a matter of fact on october 28th in the morning. And i had some slides sent to you. I dont know if you have them ready. Steve start with the popular vote before the announce you meant. On the morning of james comeys work he doesnt have to follow the rules. On the morning of october 28th, Hillary Clinton is ahead in real clear politics by 5. 9 . Which by the way called the National Election on election day within 1. 2 pretty accurate. Slide 2 shows the affect in three key battleground states, pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin, where she suspect 5 points to 6 points on the morning of october 28th within 11 days she plunges it, looks like the stock market last week, and its a direct effect of the comey letter. And the final slide is the electoral map on the morning of october 28th, 2016, and that is the way it would have looked but for james comey. Remember, james comey doesnt have to follow the rules. He gets to decide whats right. His new book is talking about a higher loyalty. Do you know what that loyalty is . To himself, not to the policies of the Justice Department. Steve exactly right. It was the attorney generals call not his but he, you know, it was a jump ball and he took the ball and said had the announcement. It is like what is he doing on tv . Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein had it exactly right. This man is all about himself and nothing but himself. He gets to decide even at that press conference no prosecution of Hillary Clinton. He then offered an opinion of Hillary Clintons email practices as extremely careless. Whether you agree or not. You are not aloyed aallowed perd to offer an opinion. He should have been fired on the spot for doing that alone. Of course, if you are james comey, you get to decide. Ainsley who is going to buy his book . Democrats dont like him, they think he is the reason hillary lost. Republicans dont like him. Who is going to buy it . You know, if you are had no the personality characteristic. A lot of women think its redundancy to use the word male and narcissist side by side. Is he such a narcissist promote himself as a political when he made the ultimate political decision to send a letter to congress 11 days from the election with no facts. He hadnt seen a single email and he knew it was against the rules for 75 years. But, guess what . James comey has the higher truth and he gets to decide. So, President Trump and i agree on our very poor opinion on mr. Comeyys judgment. Steve well, and that was one of the reasons why donald trump fired him. Check out the new book unmaking of the2016. Lanny j. Davis. Ainsley congratulations on the book. Thank you very much. Steve man watches a drunk driver loses control on the highway and gets out to stop him. Get out the car. Get out. Get out. Get out. Youre done. Thats it. Get out. Steve the rest of that Intense Exchange. Did he get out of the car . Stay tuned. Ainsley hollywoods elite taking on gun control at the oscars. They were surrounded by hundreds of armed officers protecting them. Michelle malkin has a few things to say about the hypocrisy coming up next. Because safety is never being satisfied and always working to be better. We know that when youre spending time with the grandkids every minute counts. And you dont have time for a cracked windshield. Thats why we show you exactly when well be there. Saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. Kids safelite repair, safelite replace why is dark magic so spellbindingly good . Its a bold blend of coffee with rich flavors of uganda, sumatra, colombia and other parts of south america. Like these mountains, each amazing on their own. But together . Magical. All, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. Green mountain Coffee Roasters. Dont let me dont let me dont let me down dont let me down. Steve you are looking at some of the coverage last night at the red carpet at the 90th annual Academy Awards festivities out in our nations capital. Michelle malkin host of Michelle Malkin investigates which you see on crtv joins us now. Ainsley i bet you are tired because you were up late watching the oscars. Scrolled my twitter feed and got everything i needed to know from that. Brian hollywood needed to wonder how sack i hav sack i has need to be. Sexual harassment charges coming from that portion of society. Little bit of hypocrisy when it comes to security. In fact, what hollywood demands and what they are actually demanding for us to do when it comes to guns. Yeah. Thats right. I mean, i think that their operative slogan arm security for we but not for thee. A fallanks 500 Law Enforcement from lapd, as well as fbi agents. They were armed to the teeth. Can you imagine if every American School were as protected as the oscars event. They strut around in their stilettos and their orange pins virtue signaling about gun control while not only are they protected by all of these Armed Security at this event. A lot of them travel with personal security guards that are all armed. And they live in gated communities behind tall walls while they lecture the rest of us as racist, nativist and people who advocate for the slaughter of innocent sanctimoniously because we disagree with them and defend our own Second Amendment rights. I think is this is why, probably, you will see at the end of the day just like with the nfl, the number of people, the number of americans who are tuning out, awful these hypocritical liberals is larger than its ever been and they deserve it. Steve ultimately, did you go to the movies toes escape reality. So if you are going to watch the movie award show, you would think that it wouldnt be political. But it you know, obviously and we have played a little montage. Im sure have you seen it. It was very political. If you are on the political right. You might have felt like thats not a party im not invited to. Go out of their way to denigrate half of america. They scratch heir heads and wonder why their own disapproval rates are spiking higher than Donald Trumps certainly. You have got jimmy kimmel who plays both sides of the aisle. On one hand im just a late night comedian dont mind me. On the other hand, seizing every opportunity to falsely claim some sort of absolute moral authority. Getting his talking points from Chuck Schumer on everything from gun control, to immigration. Why cant these people just entertain without thinking of themselves as unelected politicians in this country. Ainsley i think about being a little girl and watching it has it always been this snril. Steve no. Ainsley when i was a little girl i loved watching the oscars, i wanted to be in new york or california so badly. I dont ever remember it being like that. Maybe i was too young to know. Steve Johnny Carson was an equal opportunity joker. And it wasnt so politically sharp. And there is a chasm; there is a chasm between the reality of america and the way that these people live in such a bubble. And its the preaching, and its the sanctimony that people have gotten sick of. Steve there were some awards handed out by the Hollywood International independent documentary awards. And i believe they are now on your mantel, aim not correct. Yes. Virtually i anyway. At least there is one organization thats willing to recognize that there are other creative artists out there. Who speak for the forgotten men and women of this country. And so, crtv show Michelle Malkin investigates was honored for an show we did on the forgotten men and women in the commercial fishing industry in new england. We highlighted. I went out there and spent several days on the ocean with some of these third and fourth generation American Family fishermen who have been under siege by radical environmentalists who have been forced to fund these government snitches, observers who go on their boats. And treat them as if they are convicted sex offenders, essentially. Its almost like they have electronic bracelets in order to do their job. We are very glad for the award. Even more importantly glad to spread the word about the stories of these men and women, many of them, of course, who are huge fans of donald trump, elected him president , and hope that he could help them make commercial fishing great again. Brian boats are virtually invisible in the new england area. Ainsley did you have to take dramamine . I did. And the bracelets, too. Ainsley. Ainsley where can our folks watch it if ou . Crtv. And i put it up free on my website Michelle Malkin. Ainsley congratulations on the award. Thank you. Ainsley turning now to headlines, Gang Violence is so bad in chicago, even the cemeteries are not safe. The city is announcing a new task force to stop violence and shooting at funerals. Police say funeral procession often end up on the highways shooting at each other and waving guns outside of their cars. Task force hopes to have a safety by the summer typically sees uptick in murders. Take a suspected drunk driver off the road. See that pickup truck right there swerving out of control. This is on a highway in texas. The driver behind him, who is filming all of, this deciding enough is enough. Hey, man, you are driving drunk. Get out of the car. Thats it. Get out. Get out.

Wearing all that knee on gear. Dont try to get country newscast legend dolly parton to talk about politics. In an interview with abc. She makes it very clear that is off the table. I do not get into that. Of course i have my opinion about everybody and everything. But i learned a long time ago, keep your damn mouth shut if you want to stay in show business. Im not in politics. Im an entertainer. Ainsley interviewer trying to get her to talk politics during her interview of the movie 9 to 5. Standing up there with fonda and tomlin remember they were getting political and she didnt say a word. She is smart to do that. Brian i agree with you. 18 minutes before the top of the hour.

Brian at least nine people dead, including 11yearold boy who was crushed when a tree slammed into his house in upstate, new york. Ainsley thats so sad. Snow is on the way janice saisays and she is tracking it for us. A lot of people still without power in the northeast. Check the maps. Another storm.

Go back to the tax program from donald trump. Okay . It limits the deductibility of state and local taxes. Steve which we pay a lot of. Which we pay a lot of in new york, new jersey and california. Richer people, the 1 in those high tax states suddenly find themselves paying a whole lot more to the federal. Steve because it was deduction before. Now its not. Stay and pay or move and pay a whole lot less. So now the democrats are scrambling to make it more attractive for the 1 to stay in california, new jersey, and new york. What they are trying to do is in new jersey and california, trying to convert state and local tax payments into charitable contributions because a charitable contribution is still tax deductible, that would restore the status quo. Steve that isnt going to fly. Give a break to the 1 in high tax states. It is never going to work. The irs will never accept turn a tax into a charitable contribution. Aint going to fly. Steve highigh tax states why do we live here . The president sent out a tweet earlier today. Sounds like the tariff thing is just a negotiation to negotiate nativity tanchts opening is a tough negotiating position. It will be adjusted in the future to meet the political needs of various countries and various trader ideas. He has done this before. You establish a very tough stance. You take a hard ball approach right up front. Tariffs on steel, tariffs on aluminum. And maybe tariffs on european cars sit back, wait for the reaction and see what happens next. I think its an opening gamut. Brian Steve Navarro didnt know that we asked him to respond to the tweet and he did not seem to acknowledge your theory. He is on my show at 10 00 eastern time.

Com ainsley the university of connecticut is under fire for welcoming womens march organizer and sharia law advocate Linda Sarsour to speak at the schools upcoming womens herstory month instead of history. This comes after one month of more free speech controversy on campus regarding conservative speaker ben shapiro. The school sharply criticized accused of attempting to silence shapiro. The school even Offering Counseling to any student who attended. Our next guest, who is a republican student there at uconn wants to know about this double standard. Max tershon Vice President of internal affairs for the uconn College Republicans. He joins us now. Good morning, matt. Thank you for having me. Ainsley you are welcome. Thanks for being here. Whats your reaction . Do you welcome lynn is a ada sarsour speaking . What are your thoughts. We welcome her. Its a double standard compared to when we had ben shapiro. When we had ben shapiro we had to go through a stringent school process. Government inclusion and diversity is hosting this. Which is ironic because she has spread antisem particular in the past. They didnt have to go through the review process like we did. What it does is makes it impossible to get a conservative voice. If they wanted to they could block all of them because they are not going to invite conservatives. Ainsley i remember when they were trying to see you lens ben shapiro and not have him on your campus. From now on they said you have to go through a speaker review process. Linda sarsour did not have to go through that process. Not to my knowledge, no. Ainsley does the school ever invite a republican to speak. I cant remember the last time they did. Ainsley your organization, College Republicans invited ben shapiro to speak. Correct. He actually reached out to us. We had a speaker earlier in the year where there was an incident where a woman went up and stole the speakers speech and ben shapiro took note of this answered wanted to see us. Ainsley this is what the school said. We believe public universities should be places where differing views can be expressed respectfully and i see your smile and where our students and other guests can consider and challenge a variety of opinions. Why the smile you . Dont buy that . No, i dont. Because they talk about this but they never act out and get different opinions. Its always the one side. Thats been a theme across College Campuses across the country. Its tough being a young republican. We make the best of it we have got a good club. We have a great school. Its not all that bad. Ainsley thanks so much for being with us. Thank you for having me. Ainsley you are welcome. President trump doubling down on trade war talking about tariffs and trade. But he just doubled down more at the top of the hour. Liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. Hold on dad. Liberty did what . Yeah, Liberty Mutual 24hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. My dad says our insurance doesnt have that. Dont worry i know what a lug wrench is, dad. Is this a lug wrench . Maybe . You can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. Shes noticing a real difference in her joint comfort. Karen shes single. And high levels of humiliation in her daughter. In just 7 days, your joint comfort can be your kids discomfort. Osteo biflex. Made to move. The president is forging ahead with his plan to impose new tariffs on steel and aluminum despite criticism here at home and abroad. Defending position on twitter, saying were on the losing side of almost all trade deals. Sorry, time for a change. Make America Great again. A breath of fresh air to have a politician that acts on it. Were looking for a level Playing Field. Politicians, everybody in the swamp rising up against it this is president doing great things for men and women who work with their hand. A deadline protecting thousands of socalled dreamers in this country expires today. After six months of back and forth with no solution. Ainsley President Trump hosting israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu in the white house. Theyre expected to discuss a mideast Peace Agreement and rising tensions in north korea. This man after 70 years recognized jerusalem as capital, will move the embassy. Is really standing with israel to battle constantly stay independent, free, democratic and allow full rights for everyone. The annual Academy Awards expected to bring positivity turning sour from the start. This is history from here. Oscar is 90 years old tonight and he is probably home watching fox news. Ainsley american heart. That is a great song. Brian i never heard this. Ainsley me neither. Steve american made, maybe has to do with the tariffs and ultimately what the president is talking about. Save the Steel Industry and aluminum in this country. He has vastly unpopular with the swamp down in washington according to Peter Navarro. The plans, and now with the president tweeting this morning, it is starting to look what he has been suggesting, tariffwise, could be just a next to get a better deal with nafta. Ainsley here is the tweet this morning. We have large trade deficits with mexico and canada. Nafta which is under renegotiation right now has been a bad deal for the usa. Massive relocation of companies and jobs. Tariffs on steel and aluminum will only come off if new and fair nafta agreement is signed. Also canada must treat our farm much better. Highly restrictive. Mexico must do more stopping drugs pouring into the u. S. They have not done what needs to be done. Millions of people addicted and dying. Brian this will not affect china at all. It will affect south korea and canada the most. Theyre waiting to see by next week when they make the announcement as expected, end of this week if they will be carved out. Peter navarro said to us, i dont think so. There are no carveouts. Were protecting steelworkers which numbers 140,000 people. Here is the worry, will we hurt, help steelworkers and that, which is great but are we hurting millions of auto workers, those who build our airplanes and other Industries Like blue jeans, like the people that make whiskey . We need more whiskey makers. Steve what about blue jeans . Brian they are talking about retribution from other countries, if you put a tariff here, well put a tariff here. Steve look, nobody should be surprised by this. I ran on it. Ill trying to save the Steel Industry and aluminum. It is all about americas jobs. We had the president s trade guy Peter Navarro within us in the last hour. He said he is not surprised by the negative reception, but a lot of professional talkers down on k street because the swamp hates this thing. Everybody in the swamp is rising up against it. At the end of the day were getting a bad deal. The president said quite clearly and quite correctly that these countries around the world are running huge trade surpluses with us. Were shipping our wealth offshore. Theyre taking our jobs and factories. All were trying to do with our trade policy is get a fair and level Playing Field. We have to defend those industries to keep them on american soil. That is what this one is about. This is a great president doing great things for men and women who work with their hand. Brian i thought it was noted former chief of staff under george bush, deputy when it happened, Bush Administration put a 30 tariff on steel, after 18 months they backed out of it because it wasnt working. He said yesterday, a trade war is not winnable. It isnt. Nobody wins the trade war especially in the globalization days. When the United States is so dependent coming in and out it hurts our competitiveness. Ainsley the president is following through on that. If it follows through on the Campaign Promise f it doesnt work, example not good for the American People you can change the rules. Steve ultimately if we go ahead and slap these tariffs on the countries or is this simply a wiley way to get canada and mexico to renegotiate the nafta deal to betterment of the United States . We had jim johnson, who is the president of local 1219 talk to brian a little while ago. He loves the fact that donald trump said he would to to bat for the steelworkers and he ising doing it. Been a breath of fresh air to actually have a politician that actually acts on it. We heard for too long so many people who have talked about trade. Actually havent done anything for it. It has been up to us as steelworkers to fight these trade cases. Its a huge amount of resources and money and time. Normally by the time we get a good ruling on a trade case we lost too many jobs at that point. Exciting to see he actually acted on it and we applaud him for that. Steve well see what happens. Stay tuned. Brian maybe get an indication in the special election in pennsylvania for tim murphys seat, because bluecollar area, maybe they will respond to this, help the special election for republicans, if they dont care, it wont. Ainsley i have a feeling a lot of bluecollar workers were not tuned into the oscars last night. The big award show was yesterday and now the question is, i walked in the door last night, saw my babysitter, she was watching. I said, did it get political . Of course it did. She went through the list of all the political comments that were made. If you missed it, well play a few of them right now for you. Jimmy kimmel was the host. Listen. Stunning Lupita Nyongo she was born in mexico, and raised in canada. Let the tweet storm from the president s toilet begin. Oscar is 90 years old, so that means he is home watching fox news. We dont make these films to make money. We make them to upset mike pence. Steve jimmy kimmel encouraged actors who might win, you have opportunity and platform to remind millions of people about important things and equal rights and equal treatment. If you want to go ahead and encourage others to join amazing students at parkland and the march on 24th. Do that. He was deputizing people, if you want to get political, go ahead. Brian a lot of people were looking at e channel to see who walked past ryan seacrest. He got much less airtime. Five of the 20 best actor category, only five showed up. There was talk e channel was so worried about the blow back they would put him on 30 second delay. Nowhere, Natalie Portman brought up a hollywood with the whole pay gap thing. It is not our problem. Not an issue just in america. It is a huge issue in hollywood. Brought up for a woman to get paid as much as a man, 80 cents on the dollar. In hollywood 30 cents on the dollar. That is unbelievable to me. If you have a woman brings you to the box office should get paid like that, or a man, gender, shouldnt be issue there. Ainsley you should tell me how much you make i should get paid 80 . Brian you should get 100 . Dollar for dollar. Ainsley what is happening in america. I think yall should think about this, write it down, i wont tell anyone. Use it to negotiate. Brian do me a favor, dont go to hollywood they will not pay you enough. Promise me. Steve when it comes to hollywood there is a lot of hypocrisy. Particularly jimmy kimmel if you want to go ahead and support gun controls, when you look around and you see all those, we heard numbers, there were 500 apparently armed people in attendance protecting folks. Michelle malkin saw some hypocrisy. When she joined us half an hour ago she said this. Phalanx of 500 Law Enforcement officers armed to the teeth. Can you imagine if every American School were as protected as the oscars event . They live in gated communities behind tall walls while they lecture the rest of us as racist nativists and people who advocate for the slaughter of innocent saying moan justly because we disagree with them and defend our own Second Amendment rights . I think their operative slogan is Armed Security for we, but not for thee. Steve so we asked if you watched. We got a whole bunch email. Ainsley dave said, of course we didnt watch, were look to be entertained not aggravated by a steady stream of mindless drive from liberals who live in a bubble. Brian sound like dave. I am happy to report the oscars. Watching selfaggrandizing hollywood elites speaking into their echo chamber i dont enjoy doing. If we went to the oscars we would need protection from the people in the audience. I think we would need protection. Steve do you think they would know us . Brian well, if we were there for a reason. Ainsley thats true. Steve keep comments coming. Did you watch . If you did not, let us know why not. Brian really thanks to the cartoon president on showtime and thanks to alex baldwin a lot of people know us and snl. Steve two other shows i dont watch. Ainsley they might not recognize you because you look a little different on saturday night live. Ainsley lets read more of your headlines. President trump hosts israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the white house. They will discuss north korea, syria, the mideast Peace Agreement. Moments ago, Mike Huckabee praised the president s commitment for to israel. Here is man who finally after 70 years, recognized the jerusalem as the capital, will move the embassy, really standing with israel in its battle to constantly stay independent, free, democratic and to allow full rights for everyone, including its women. Ainsley netanyahu is expected to invite the president to the opening of the new embassy if may. A u. S. Embassy shut down over Security Threat in turkeys capital. Americans in ankara, that is out we say it, warned to avoid the building. Stay away from large crowds, keep a low profile they say. U. S. Officials have not said what the sergeant threat is, but turkey suspects there might have been plans for an attack. No word when the embassy is going to reopen. More than a quarter Million Students in West Virginia are not going to be in class for an 8th straight day as teachers continue to strike. Pay them more to educate. Two four, six, eight, pay them more to educate. Ainsley Public School protest over higher pay and better benefits. Union leaders say they will not return to bork until they get a 5 raise. A joint committee will work out differences in pay raise bills in the statehouse and senate. Those are your headlines. Steve that is a big strike. Ainsley they need more money . My sister is a teacher. Steve they have historically low wages in that particular ainsley area, i know. For teachers. You know. Its, theyre in a pickle. Brian 12 minutes after the hour. Steve a lawmakers fiery speech on gun riled democrats up so much they walked out of the room. We want to have an open honest debate im all for that. Lets do that. It starts with a certain degree of mutual respect. Brian that West Virginia lawmaker here live coming up. Battle to the drain the swamp in illinois is gaining national attention. So how does this affect the 2020 president ial debate . The governor bruce bruce ranier will join us next. Ght. But you want to fix it. Right. So who sent you . New guy. What new guy . Watson. My analysis of sensor and Maintenance Data indicates elevator 3 will malfunction in 2 days. There you go. You still need a pass. There you go. Whilnothing comparesnary modeto the real thing. D. Experience the command performance sales event for yourself, now through april 2. Experience amazing at your lexus dealer. Hello. Give me an hour in tanning room 3. Cheers thats confident. But its not kayak confident. Kayak searches hundreds of travel sites to help me plan the best trip. So im more than confident. Forgot me goggles. Kayak. Search one and done. Brian battle to so call drain the swamp in the democratic strong hold of illinois Getting National attention as the outcome could be a big predictor and 2018 midterms and 2020. Taking on big unions and entrenched politicians, and the swamp. He liking the politicians to the mafia. Governor bruce rauner, why do you want to do this job . You seem to be only man who agrees with you . Brian, illinois has been dominated by corrupt career politicians for decades. I decided i couldnt take it anymore. Im not a politician, im a business builders. I said i would never run away from the state of illinois. I was born here, raised our six kids here. I want to take on corruption and career politicians and create a good state again. Brian mike madigan we had one like sheldon silver, and he avoided prison. Mike has been in our General Assembly since 1971. I was not in high school back then. He is head of the legislature for three decades. Head of the Democratic Party. What is really corrupt he also owns a property tax appeal law firm. Basically in his political job he raises property taxes so we have the highest property taxes in america. And 10 on the side he charges millions of dollars in fees to businesses that are afraid of their property taxes. He reduces them for a fee. Then he holds the threat if they ever cross him he will raise their property taxes. Its a corrupt[ just like the mafia, mafia protection racket. Totally corrupt. Brian you trying to negotiate with unions. He is trying to take your power away to do that. Now as we have a Supreme Court case looking at the mandatory aspect of making public, you have people pay fees to public unions, i wonder where that is at . How can you balance the budget unless you get that pow officer. No, that is exactly right, brian. Youre on the core issue. I started that lawsuit now at the u. S. Supreme court. I filed a lawsuit my first three weeks in office against afscme, the biggest Government Union, they said forcing state employees to Pay Union Dues when they dont want to violation of their free speech. Violation of their constitutional right to politically affiliate. We will win this case i hope, i believe, when we do well end the corruption. It is conflict of interest when a Government Union boss gives Campaign Cash to politician, get him elected, push statepaid taxpayersfunded Union Members that work for politician, get him elected, lets negotiate my contract after youre in office. Conflict of interest. Fundamentally corrupt. Brian not political to say your taxes are too high. Shootings and murders are way too high. People are leaving. Those are numbers that dont lie. Why arent more republicans running against democrats . Why are so Many Democrats unopposed . Ill tell you madigan gerrymandered districts in illinois. He draws the districts looking like spaghetti noodles so they protect his incumbents. We dont have competitive general elections. In this election i will get reelected in november. I will have a voice after the 2020 census. We will have bipartisan maps. Competitive general elections. I believe republicans pick up a lot of seats. Brian governor rauner, thanks so much. Good to see you. Brian after the rundown, coming to a college near you, convicted leaker Chelsea Manning talking ethics . Italy is the latest european country to fall to the populist wave. Could be berlusconi. Mark stein is here, talking about the trump phenomenon going overseas. Looking at him strut. With a replacement you can trust. All done sir.

First up, former fbi director james comey ready for the first tv interview after being fired by President Trump famously. He wit sit down with George Stephanopoulos that airs april 18th. His new book hits shelves. There you go. Government secrets leaker Chelsea Manning gearing up to lecture students on ethics. Today she will visit ucla to speak about things like resistance, activism and protest. Former military intel analyst was sentenced famously to 35 years in prison for disclosing classified documents to wikileaks. President obama commuted her sentence last year. Meanwhile ainsley today italy officially becoming the next european country to deliver victories to farright populist parties. Steve former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi leading the with a tough on immigration approach. Brian he still might win. Columnist and author mark steyn who lived in europe. I traveled there, went on a cruise, he joins us to weigh in. Ainsley why do you have we on when we have the expert. I think i changed planes in yeah, these, this, the centerright got basically 70 of the vote. Something is up in italy. These guys are not happy. They have got like 35 youth unemployment. Gow to university, it takes you on average four 1 2 years to get a job after graduating. It doesnt work for them. Brian you know what else . Theyre upset about the immigration flooded their nation and changing it. Yep. Because that, i did actually, that is actually one built of europe i did go to, the little bit of italy down there where all the socalled refugees come in. Italians are sick of that. Basically the same issues that drove the trump campaign. It is, it is like the immigration issue and the fact that this isnt a blip but that the system just doesnt work for millions of people anymore. Ainsley tell what you amazes me over there, but travel, they close the shops in the afternoon for like two hours so they can go nap. No. That is, thats, thats true. They do. It is interesting to go past a mcdonalds or whatever it is and it says closed until 4 00 in the afternoon. Ainsley i know. Everyone has gone for a lunchtime nap. Dont knock cultural differences you know. I dont want to live entirely borderless world. Brian i dont want to drive the producers crazy, dont have banner for this, notice sweden is having problem with immigration as well. Everything the president talked about a year ago about the crime in sweden, everyone mocked him for, ends up one hundred correct and theyre reporting it out of the New York Times. I defended the president at that time, this time last year. Everything he said was right. I spent the previous summer in sweden. Ive been in a town where the female mayor advised women not to go out unaccompanied because there were some sex crimes. I went to a pop music cop certificate where the music was absolutely terrible as it always is, cater walling rockers, but the teenage girls who liked them were nevertheless being sexually assaulted being advised by the police to wear stupid bracelets, say please dont sexually assault me. That was the sweetish polices answer. Steve that is the solution. Meanwhile we know that you were in attendance last night watching portions of the oscars. Brian for us. Steve politically, it had some statements, what do you think . I thought it was politically lame. You know, at one point jimmy kimmel, i think doesnt have the size to be oscar host. Steve size . Im a squaresville, i like billy crystal, kind of showbiz persona. Brian would be a good oscar host. Brian im thinking about it. Ainsley why do you think they asked him . Because he is so political . They regard him seriously as the moral conscience. At one point he said if we learned everything from the last two years it is that reality can be depressing. Hmmm, what are you trying to say there . What happened in the last two years would depress you . I thought, i thought because of the Harvey Weinstein stuff they would just not as political as they would have been because they understand that however, you know, bad everybody else is, their moral authority absolutely collapsed. That is why you had all these, you know, dull montages every i mean, do you like montages . Steve had a military montage that was pretty good. Eventually all montages come out the same. They should have a montage of montages. I would like, i think 1978, i was nominated for best montage in a montage of montages. Ainsley best montage we played is nancy pelosi. I loved that one. Thats a great montage. These are sort of bland mon tamings. Tom hanks, there is jimmy cagney. There is tom cruise. There is someone in black and white i cant quite remember. Like, why cant they make an awards show anymore . Brian maybe donald trump will run on antimontage platform. That might be the steve make montages great again. Mama. Maga, make aamerica montage, make movie montages great again. Steve work on the joke. Roll it out tonight filling in for tucker. I like to be kimmel. I dont have 37 writers. Brian very good, mark. There you are, looking away. Ainsley do what they do in italy the take a nap. You will be up late. Thats right. Brian a former clinton staffer walks in to cpac, leaves with a picture of ben shapiro. It is not a joke. It is true story. We have the democrat who wants to reach across the aisle. He is keeping his Campaign Promises. Former education secretary bill bennett is here for you.

Chinas leader just became an absolute dictate it for life, praised by the, by President Trump. He jokes about the fact that sound pretty good. Maybe i could have that. That need to be in the center of action is so great with him. What about the fact that he is praising president xi who, leads repressive country, just consolidated his power . Comments about china, should copy their dictatorship. Some senses that is maybe what he wants. Steve a lot of talk what the president said to a private group at maralago over the weekend. Joined by former secretary of education and drug czar under president george w. Bush and, dr. Bill bennett joins us from north carolina. How are you . No montage for me. Brian legitimate criticism. Whats that . Brian was that legitimate criticism in those opening no, its crazy. It is small, small bore. This president is painting in broad strokes. He is unconventional. He is doing big things. Gotten more done in a year than any president in recent history. Gotten more done in a year than my boss Ronald Reagan did. What these guys want to talk about are these sidebars. Is he mentally fit, can he serve . That is the real irony can the man serve as president , when he is serving very effectively as president , just not the way they would like him to serve . Ainsley deep down know they that, they cant say it, and they have ratings and people watching, they are expecting them to vote or say it a certain way . Yeah. Yeah, cognitive dissonance here. They can not accept it. Their brain can not get around it. He is a supernova, all over the map but fulfilling promises he made on the campaign. This is quite extraordinary. Usually in washington you have a president , puts out a plan. Get to it three months later, when you get to it, there it is straightforward, it is uninteresting. This guy is making plans on three different fronts or four different fronts on daily or weekly basis. Then commenting on them. Then changing direction like he did a little bit this morning. Brian you picked up on it the well tariff thing. If we get the nafta thing right maybe we can pull back on this it is extraordinary the motion that he is doing. And remember, he is understaffed at the white house, and understaffed in the cabinet. Give him a full team, give him a full 11, see what he does. Brian that is his own doing. Steve i think he would say, government has gotten so big, im trying to make it smaller. One of the other things, bill, the fact he appears to be negotiating with the democrats on television. I mean weve seen him couple of times where they bring the cameras into the cabinet room and we watch him. And most recently we saw him dealing with democrats and republicans to try to figure out how to fix the School Violence problem. Right, right. The pope said, Pope John Paul said famously be not afraid. Almost unlike all politicians he is not afraid. He is not afraid of anything. He is not afraid of anybody. Broaches any subject he wishes to broach. The School Safety thing is interesting. It started a national conversation. I think were getting somewhere on that topic. My wife worked in the d. C. Public schools, you have to go through metal detectors in every high school. Theyre smart about School Security. Not as if d. C. Is perfectly safe place with no crime. No child has been shot inside of a d. C. School. Think about metal detectors. Think about arming people. I agree with this notion, when you put up a sign that says gunfree zone that is invitation to the demented and arm. Brian president brought up with manchin and chris murphy, move forward. Were stuck in the mud. Support chris murphy says the president has the right instincts on this, he knows the Political Landscape has changed. Listen. The movement showed in that meeting reflective of what his foundation, not terrible political instincts and maybe his performance in that meet something signal to republicans. He sort of sent us out of the meeting, you guys work it out. Work the universal background checks in with the fix nics bill. As a matter of fact his instincts in the meeting are not wrong. Brian that is toomey, manchin, senator Lindsey Graham and cornyn and murphy. Together there might be something there. If youre the president do you pursue that . Yeah, sure you do. And, look, i think he makes a series of opening gambits when he has these discussions. He is exploring. This is the dealmaker again. I think climate has changed some. And look, we may see some movement. Were not seeing repeal of the Second Amendment. You will not outlaw these weapons, you may see changes in background. You may see changes in age eligibility for certain kinds of weapons. The discussion is good. The discussion needs to be schoolfocused and on messups that occurred there in florida which allowed this to happen. Messup on almost every bureaucratic level. That is obscuring the other discussion, because we need to Pay Attention to those. If you cant pick up warnings of the kids, of the police, calls to the police, they didnt pick up on it. The fbi. By the way i have heard that a number of students from the shooting started said, it is cruz. They knew. Brian yay. If they knew, why didnt other people know. Steve sure. Police were outside.

If we want to have an open honest debate im all for that. Lets do that. It starts with certain degree of mutual respect. It starts with a certain degree of not assuming that the only reason why we believe in the Second Amendment because the nra paid us off . If that is the sort of logic you want to use, look how much money nra spends and how much money planned parenthood spend. Steve that speech going viral, topping 10. 5 million views. Joining us is virginia delegate, Army Special Forces veteran to unseat Hillary Clintons running mate, senator tim kaine down in the great state of the commonwealth of virginia. Good morning to you, nick. Thanks for having me on. Steve news accounts we have read you got started on that, when you were responding to the criticism that republicans have blood on their hand for failing to act on School Violence, right . Taker. Thats correct. There is number of factors were trying to address with this issue but it always gets reverted back to gun control being the only potential solution. And then, on top of that, some of the rhetoric that has been used to describe us is completely unacceptable. At that point i had gotten tired of it. Ainsley i want you to, well play a sound bite of someone who was offended by your speech. This is Democratic Delegate joseph lindsey. Listen to this we want to get your reaction. Today i have been offended as i can never recall since being a part of this body. And i have seen many of my colleagues emotionally shaken and bothered by either a, lack of, of concern for facts, or just simply playing to the media, playing to the cameras. Ainsley nick, what do you say to him . Delegate lindsey a good and honorable man. I certainly didnt intend any offense toward him, one of the things i get concerned about, this argument and leftright paradigm, more offense is used as weapon to turn away debate. And im not going to accept that. If there is a way i can convey my message, to where delegate lindsey wont be offended we can get the point across, im happy to do that. But what im not going to accept, listening to some of his democrat colleagues refer to me, compare me to nazi, compare me to segregationist. One of democrat colleagues in subcommittee meeting tell me, if i didnt vote for his particular bill i was on the side of terrorists and i wanted weapons to fall in the hand of terrorist. What sort of offense someone like me, two combat tours, lost friends to terrorist thought about Something Like that . If we get back to meaningful dialogue i it will require a level of mutual respect. If delegate lindsey help me understand what party of my remarks were offensive i would be glad to have that discussion with him. We have to be honest what is going on in our schools what is going on in our communities. I will not accept this false narrative constantly gets thrown at republicans and conservatives because we support Second Amendment rights. Steve you both have different points of view but both ultimately trying to figure out a solution to School Violence. Absolutely, absolutely. We have to look at all the factors, if were just looking at guns, were not taking into account the fact there is major breakdown for communication within Law Enforcement. Were not taking into account we have kid with Mental Health disorder. Were not dealing with other School Security issues we need to. We need to take a comprehensive look. While at same time remembering that the reason why we have the Second Amendment is so people can provide for their own selfdefense. Ainsley all right. Nick joined the army after 9 11. Volunteered for the u. S. Army special forces, green berets, toughed two tours in iraq. Thank you for serving our country. Thank you, it was my pleasure. Steve now wants to be a u. S. Senator. Straight ahead on this monday, oscars Host Jimmy Kimmel couldnt stay away from politics last night. Ainsley democrat turned republican Candace Owens has a message for hollywood elites coming up. Steve first to go upstairs to see what bill hemmer has cooking. Nice to see you. Breaking news from north korea on Nuclear Program he said. General jack keane coming up in moments.

A father who lost his 18yearold daughter in florida, makes a case for greater School Safety. Well see you in ten minutes, guys, brand new week, starts in a couple minutes on americas newsroom. Brian oscar Host Jimmy Kimmel and other celebrities could not stay away from politics last night at the oscars. Steve but one former democrat turned republican has a message for hollywood elites. Ainsley she joins us now. Director of urban engagement of turning point usa is Candace Owens. Thanks for joining news thanks for having me. Im really excited to be here today. Ainsley what is your message to the hollywood elites after you saw the oscars last night . I actually didnt see the oscars, because it is always the same stuff. My message to them simply we genuine dont care what they think. We appreciate them for their talents. The idea, they can act and sing, theyre wellpositioned to tell us how to live is really the far from the mark. Steve that sound as lot like the point of your video. We have a little snippet from that. Here is candace in action. You may have actually come to believe that we care what you think, but youre wrong. It is offensive thaw confuse our admiration for blind faith just because they dont think or vote the way you want them to . You cross a line. You lose touch with reality. Steve that is harsh. You dont care what celebrities think. No, i dont. Americans feel the exact same sentiment in this moment. Neil the celebrities make a lot of money. Given a lot of money to promote a product because madison avenue says they have influence. To say they dont have influence is not being, is not being candid. Youre absolutely right they do have influence. What i see the their influence is deteriorating, best indicated by the fact that donald trump is in the white house. What he did best he held up a mirror to the entire country. What we saw reflect back we didnt like. We had stopped believing in ourselves. We had stopped wanting to think for ourselves. We had sort of brought into this mass propaganda machine, culture of hollywood and celebrities. Ainsley you were a democrat. Grew up in democratic family. How did you become a republican. Because of hyperbolic language used throughout donald trump campaign. You have to pick us or him. The mob mentality going on in the media, academia, most importantly culture in hollywood. Ainsley what your family think . They come further and further to the right. She is texting me, im voting for donald trump in 2020. She is seeing results. Just because someone you like has a good voice does not mean they are better positioned to talk to you about the economy or what will value your life. Steve what is the result your sister so impressed by . She got good money back after the tax cuts you know. Brian what do you think his message to be to the minority communities, that it is not there now . I think it should be just that. That you have to understand what he said was spot on. We had absolutely nothing to lose whatsoever. We have been enslaved idealogically, the democrats and democrats have given us absolutely nothing in return. Try something different. See if it works. Dont be afraid. Definitely dont fall victim to all the lies celebrities tell you. Steve your individual wrote is proproctor gamble tiff. Have it on our website, foxandfriends. Com. Thank you so much for having me. I love your style. Thank you. Ainsley well talk about that during commercial. Steve well step away. Well come back in a couple minutes. Ainsley all right.
