Empire Actor Jussie Smollett for refusing to pay the cost of the investigation into his alleged hate crime hoax. Wyatt means bigger trouble now being for the battle director. Plus, 202 2020 town hall with a contender potentially Howard Schultz the starbucks invited h. The future of the Democratic Party and his views on the border controversy. Hello, welcome to fox news night, Shannon Bream in washington. We begin with chief National Correspondent ed henry and heading to the southern border, good evening, ed, the president is shutting the border down soon and still an option saying he will not guarantee the border is staying open for a year. And putting tariffs on mexican cars out there as a stick and if that doesnt work all bets are off. The president declaring the taxes on mexican cars, a powerful incentive for the neighbor to the south to get serious about spreading drugs and Illegal Immigrants across the border. In the president , you noted and Homeland Security Kirsten Nielsen and president headed friday to the Border Crossing where barriers reinforced and nielsen said in yuma, arizona authorized Emergency Powers to help manage what she and obama officials have called a crisis level surge of Illegal Immigrants in recent days. The president running into the reality has to pull back from immediate closure of the border as he had promised because republicans like ted cruz in addition to democrats warned the consequences could be devastating. Shutting down the border would hurt the economy, violate our values and greatly hurt the country. I dont play games. I will do it. We will give them a one year warning, and if the drugs dont stop were largely stop, we are going to put tariffs on mexico and products in particular cars. Speed two prominent democrats say opposite approach, Julian Castro calling for what he calls the decriminalization of Border Crossing. California attorney general Xavier Becerra seems to agree since he declared Illegal Immigrants have not committed a crime and not harming anyone. While congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez leveled this attack on the Border Patrol as she drank wine and assembled a key of furniture on instagram life. At least im not trying to cage children at the border and inject with drugs, that is not a mistake, that is a deliberate policy to attack people based on the national origin. That is not a mistake, that is just hatred. That is just cruelty. That is just wrong ed secretary nielsen pushed back and defend a Border Patrol by saying kids not purposely put in cages. They sometimes detained in areas to protect kids, she says, well processed. Remember other democrats jay johnson who served under present obama and sing this effect is a real crisis at the border and Howard Schultz the potential candidate in the fox news town hall tonight faulted both parties with comprehensive immigration reform, but on the issue of cracking down illegal immigration seemed to side with republicans on the hill saying democrats are missing the issue, shannon. Shannon henry, great to see you tonight. Ed good to see you. Shannon pushing back after several Media Outlets and members and the special council Team Grumbling about attorney general bill barr portrayed their findings. Chief intelligence Katherine Harris on the Whisper Campaign the Justice Department with a statement taking issue with media accounts that the Mueller Report contains summaries that were releasable every page of the confidential report provided to attorney general barr march 22nd, 2019, with material protected under a law that protects confidential grand jury information. Therefore, could not be publicly released and the New York Times said special counsel investigators told associates their findings more negative than his four page summary last month. A senior democrat said it backs up effort to see the full report and secure muellers testimony. Some dissatisfaction over how accurately he represented the report but again, the answer is, lets see it. On twitter the president writing the New York Times had no legitimate sources which would be totally illegal concerning the Mueller Report. In fact, no sources at all. Separately these letters obtained by fox news shows republican senators grassley and grant alerted barr last month and investigators uncovered evidence of potential improper influence. This conduct misconduct and fox news knows they wanted barr to have the information before he reviewed muellers findings. After congressional investigators allege special counsel prosecutors selected quotes and court plantings with negative interpretation possible. This 2017 letter shows grassley directly warned mueller sending emails from George Papadopoulos among others about traveling to russia. During the race. The emails in question actually show the Trump Campaign wanted someone lowlevel to decline the invitations. Shannon on the muellers report to Congress Significant time pressure at the end of next week with a healths and sent on recess, and fox news, Department Officials hope to complete review in coming days and the attorney generals goal of midapril. Shannon. Shannon catherine herridge, thank you very much. Following Trump Administration recordsetting success to get held abroad released and sent home prominent hostage rights group chose mike pompeo with the top award with honors being yanked. Pompeo disinvited to the event. What is behind the very public snub . Correspondent rich edson has more, hi, rich. A foundation rescinded an award plan to give secretary of state mike pompeo and the official said rights in a letter, i understand that the foundation decided to resend the Freedom Award and my invitation to attend 2019 james w Freedom Award due to pressure from Media Partners in your fear stated in your recent letter that some guests at the dinner would not show my office proper respect if i attended. James foley a journalist kidnapped in 2019 reporting in Northern Syria and murdered in 2014 near rocca. The foundation bearing his name works to free american hostages kidnapped abroad and protect journalists working in conflict zones. Pump type pompeo rights to the mother of the foundations t that he plans on accepting the award and noted the administrations work to free americans like free from north korea. Otto warmbier at the return home in a coma and died soon after. Andy burks from yemen and others. In a statement to fox news the Foundation Executive director says the James W Foley Legacy Foundation doesnt comment on the delivered and process that goes into the decision to award our honorees. We thanked secretary pompeo for extraordinary efforts to bring americans home and are grateful for all that he and his administration have accomplished to prioritize the return of our citizens. The foundation granted award to antiisis on brett mcgurk who resigned over President Trumps syria troop withdrawal announcements. Earlier this week the secretary hold an event at the state department to recognize american still held overseas. There were many like she weigh one and in a run. And paul in russia. The state department refuses to say how Many Americans considers detained or wrongfully held overseas. Shannon. Shannon rich, thank you very much. So is the media behind the pompeo disk and our main street yet outlets doing the work of the president s medics by lobbing criticism at the attorney general . Lets talk about it with strategists and president of research center, great to have you with us. A lot of speculation what led o this award being yanked from secretary pompeo disinvited from the event. I talked with someone who saw the email communications back and forth with a foundation and the secretary. There were expressions there was concern the administration had not been supportive of freedom of the press or journalist and that was interfering with the highlighting of good things that have been happening. Brett, did that work for you . Dont you find it amazing for you yanked away the award to give to the secretary of state and dont give a reason for it . I mean, to me, it is utter powerless on the people who did this. That they would buckle to some pressure from somebody and some people but the secretary himself knows what it is because he was the one that proper the explanation when he said it was the media, look organizations threatening to disrupt the which is why they had to do it, richard, the Washington Post opinion piece writes this under the headline this is how bad tromp derangement got in washington. It says, any objective criteria pompeo deserved the award in two years in Office President trump to release 20 people. That is more captive freed in two years than president barack obama got released and eight. I mean, that is the work of the organization. You would think they would want to celebrate such good circumstances and results. And at the risk of being snarky, twitter includes a statement from three hours ago that the Foley Foundation said one specific reason they decided to disinvited the secretary of state. That is because the administration was gutless by not pressing for accountability around the murder of look this Foundation Stands up for press freedom. You have a president who says the press is the enemy of the people. So you cant exactly fault them for trying to distance himself from people so slavishly supporting the president who says the press is the enemys people shannon i give him the award in the first place . I think they did it before the thoughtlessness displayed around the saudis and once in full display, they couldnt live with themselves. Incidentally, none of these people in the press, all of these mainstream groups didnt disassociate themselves publicly or they would have had they been so revolted of the prospect of giving this award. So im just saying, my statement on what the foundation said and not what anybody is reporting. Shannon i want to ask about too quickly weigh in on anonymous forces bubbling up saying they are unhappy. The mueller team speaking and apparently be associated to near times, Washington Post and others about this. Quick comment from both of you on this, brent, you first. Brent first, i counted five times where they used the word sum and as usual they dont cite the sources but better than this, shannon 25 paragraph story that took them until paragraph 16 to say they dont even know what the problem is. There is no specifically on what the problem is coming from people who are not identified. This is a story . The problem is the mueller staff wrote a summary that was designed to be made public and instead come up bar substituted his very truncated summary and the president wasnt exonerated and the president says the exact opposite. Of course you would expect from the white house. Shannon but the doj released an official statement and said every page of the Mueller Report was marked with confidential information when they didnt have to liberty to release that and they tried as quickly as possible, the bottom line but a lot of folks thinks he will beat that april 15th deadline because he pledged as he did during confirmation hearing that he would put out as much as possible. So lets wait and see, and if it seems truncated to come im sure the subpoenas will start flowing. Richard and brent, thank you both. President trumps former attorney Michael Cullen to delay his three Year Prison Sentence and reduce jail time by offerinw evidence. His lawyers to covered 14 million files from computers, phones, ranging over the past ten years and he says could be of value. An investigation against the president. 2020 democrats lining up to impress al sharpton. Today canada and a judge taking heat for declaring one time all lives matter.

With safelite, you can see exactly when well be there. Saving you time for what you love most. Kids whoa kids vo safelite repair, safelite replace shannon the first 2020 town hall kicking off tonight with potential independent contender Howard Schultz. The starbucks chief biden an ominous morning for the Democratic Party, on whether he would choose a democrat or republican. Joining on the ticket if he runs. Peter doocy life in kansas city with highlights, good evening, peter. Peter good evening shannon, independent howard shore Howard Schultz servig the field by summer if you will actually launch a formal campaign and if he does he might run against joe biden who he didnt want to disqualify tonight for bad behavior, but who he did sympathize with for what he described as possibly being some sort of political dirty trick. Biden has served the country for 40 years. As Vice President for eight years and the only thing i would ask is one question, why is this coming up now . Im not questioning the women on any level, but it is concerning to me that all of a sudden on the eve of whether he was going to announce or not, this is all of a sudden coming up. It is concerning. Peter scholz rebuild in the town hall he supports a womans right to choose but only for the first few months of her pregnancy because scholz believe abortion should be outlawed in the third trimester. In my view, there should be no abortion that is in the last trimester. President clinton said something along time ago [applause] president said a long time ago that doesnt apply come abortion should be safe, legal and rare. And thats where i met. Peter even after an hour of being peppered with questions by democrats and republicans, its tough to tell what a ticket would look like if Howard Schultz is on the top of it. Even though several danek they would pick a woman as a running mate, schultz didnt wao go there. I have to choose the person with the highest degree of experience and merit and i hope its a woman but at this point i dont know. Shannon may be the more important question for you is running mate eight republican or democrat . I didnt expect that question. I think that person has to be complementary to skill base and experience. Peter starbucks is still a big part of the schultz story. He spent part of the day prepping for tonights town hall at a starbucks getting a coffee and then several longtime starbucks employees who worked locally that wanted to come and they were expressing fault that schultz as president could possibly run the country like he runs starbucks, shannon. Shannon when your employees are happy, that is a good endorsement. We will see if he gets in my peter doocy, thank you. Not yet a part of the 2020 field but reportedly leaning that way, former President Joe Biden with new criticism tonight. And is now twitter dust off of President Trump and so many want to get into. The power panel, Ethan Bearman and flew lives matter randy sutton and contributor lisa boothe, great to have you with us, hi, shannon. Shannon an interesting piece that talked about rich and political bidens, is his ego. His fundamental offense is not realizing that some people might not be into joe biden as joe biden is in to joe biden. He has an ego not libido problem, what do you think, lisa . Lisa i think maybe a little bit of both. It is undeniable to say the photos and videos of him out there does not cross a line and is not creepy because it absolutely is. You feel uncomfortable for the individuals hes touching. With that said, this is a hit job on him much like Brett Kavanaugh except there was no evidence were videos and photos out there and certainly no cooperating witnesses or evidence to say he did anything he was accused of. But i think joe bidens biggest problem is the fact hes untested candidate. Despite the fact he spent 36 years in the senate, he has not had tough races, shannon. The electoral history, the only race he had was a senate race in 1972. This is a guy who is very much a different era politician and also someone who hasnt been challenged politically. And two failed president ial bids under his belt. So i actually dont think it is smart for democrats to latch onto him as best chance against President Trump. Shannon this tweet, have you noticed how quiet president obama has been lately with all these biden accusations . This reinforces my theory that Michelle Obama still would likely run for the presidency and the media is trying everything to destroy biden before she decides even, whi. I totally disagree with charlie in this case Michelle Obama will not run for president but her book on the other hand would show she could probably win the election if she wanted to go that path. Joe biden wins in every poll right now headtohead against donald trump. The democratic primary challenger is obviously rather than him not be in there because they want to win the nomination, but joe biden doesnt have an ego problem and Michelle Obama is not going to run. Shannon okay, randy, we talked about this and eat them makes a point, the polls show a successful match up against President Trump and he does well in places like unions and bluecollar workers. Things that President Trump did well with the last time around. Democrats having this debate about whether they would want to go ahead with him because they think many of them he would be the best match up despite these things surfacing. Ethan well, that is a political issue. And i think we need to talk about what is in the news right now. That is about joe bidens contact with women. Now, there is so much here to talk about. The fact of the matter is, joe biden has been a political figure, someone of power for many, many years. I think this is a Learned Behavior. For instance, if you are in a political position where you are a man of power and you are snuggling with basically strange women. You are sniffing them, giving them kisses on the back of the neck, okay, you can do that when youre a powerful person. If you are just joe biden, the guy on the street, either a husband is going to whack you are around or the woman is going to slap the hill out of you. The fact of the matter is, that hasnt happened. But this is a Learned Behavior and now, no one has talked about the fact that he was exposing himself and swimming naked in front of the female secret service agents. Shannon i forgot about that story. Randy why isnt anybody talking about this . This is part of the issue and yet, magical, it disappeared. Shannon really quickly, in fact we dont have time so we will not get to the second line but let me ask you all of 2020 contenders were going to al sharptons event in trying to make the case there. How much do you think that the africanamerican voting block is up for grabs, not in the primary but when it comes to the general, all of you five to ten seconds each. Do you think the president has a chance to grow numbers, lisa first. Lisa absolutely. You look at africanamerican employment and i think the lowest point it has been or at least close to that. So of course, President Trump on the job and economic message could win over american africans. Ethan ethan you are shaking your head. No, absolutely not and no i part of his own doing that those numbers have changed. Lisa okay, okay, you cant say no doing. He has been president for two years. And then ethan. Ethan yes, i have heard from people that i know that there have been things that have changed in the minority communities. I believe, yes, i mean, if you judge manned by what he does instead of some of the media hype about him come i think he will increase. Shannon ethan remains unconvinced so we will put him in that column. Tank you all for being here. Nice to have you. Claims of racism and sexism against Poverty Law Center conservatives calling out major partnerships with that group next. Great news, Liberty Mutual customizes. Uh uh, i deliver the news around here. Sources say Liberty Mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Over to you, logo. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Run with us. On a john deere x300 series mower.

Save 300 on x330 and x350 select series lawn tractors. At participating john deere dealers. All musical shannon the southern Poverty Law Center with accusations of Racial Discrimination and sexual harassment. The group facing irs investigation into taxexempt status. Trace gallagher picks up the story from there, good evening, trace. The irs tom cotton calling for an investigation with of thy law center should retain 5o1c3 taxexempt status. Cotton says the probe is needed for protecting taxpayer dollars from a racist and sexist slush fund event devoted to defamation. In other words the group estimated to have half a billion dollars in assets use its nonprofit status to mask highly political funding. Here is what tom cotton told Tucker Carlson, watch. Theyve really become a hate group themselves. The socalled hate map and they use it to stigmatize their political opponents. Respectable, center right organizations Like Research council and lasting freedom. Trace in fact, the family Research Council added to the hate list in 2012, a gunman targeting officials walked into the Organization Headquarters in d. C. And shot the guard. And also widely criticized for adding people like laws and all lead to the list of antimuslim extremists and dr. Ben carson for being antigay. His name later moved, and splc mashed and internal problems. Last month cofounder was fired reportedly for alleged sexual harassment. Eight days later, splc Richard Cohen resigned and so now to review the splcs practices and policies, the group has broad and Michelle Obama former chief of staff tina chen which set off more conservative alarm bells. Because it was heard that contacted kim foxx on behalf of the Actor Jussie Smollett. One of the case move to the fbil of the charges mysteriously dropped, the southern Poverty Law Center deleted from the fbis list of legitimate sources on hate crimes and conservatives would like the media to quit relying on the group as well. Shannon. Shannon we will beat that now. Trace, thank you very much. Critics battling splc and big named companies to quit relying on the controversy organization to decide who should be labeled a hate group. Lets bring in tony who is a president of the family Research Council and hate map and host and thank you both. Okay, so a lot of folks will agree great origins. Going after terrible organizations like the kkk and this is what they do on the website, monitor hate groups and exposed to public media and Law Enforcement. Tolerance to reduce prejudiced and seek justice for the most vulnerable. Tony what is wrong with that . Tony nothing if that is what they were doing. Somewhere along the way the southern Poverty Law Center morphed into something much different. And i feel sorry for those people who invested their lives to fight for true civil rights. But it morphed into an Organization Led by con artists that were selling hate for cash. In fact, what they would do, they would label in exchange for cash from leftist groups the conservative organizations like the family Research Council, parents groups, you name it Alliance Defending freedom from a group that the lifts disagreed with. Shannon you had an incident family Research Council and someone shot your Security Guard and said they would shoot up a bunch of people because of what they saw. Tony right. We had a gunman who came into the building with 100 rounds of ammunition 15 chickfila sandwiches and hate list from southern Poverty Law Center. And he shot one of our team members. It is the same group that inspired the shooting and link to the shooting of my friend, all to silence people on the right. And these types of events could lead to permanent silence. Shannon ethan, folks agree to it origins they feel on the left and the right investigating reporting that its gone off the tracks with a number of people leaving at once with allegations going on. Senator tom cotton in the letter asking to look into taxexempt status is. And a declining characteristic of a fundraiser off of defamation. And listing several examples in defamation of a Business Model is, of course, not one of them. What questions do you have . Are you worried about things that happened they are in the recent past . Ethan im always worried when talking about money being raised improperly or spent improperly that would potentially violate five oh three and i think it is worth investigating if corruption that is occurring. However, senator cotton respectfully does not understand the word defamation is or what it means under the law because if you Say Something that is true, for example tony perkins a page on gun safety. If they are saying something that is false, that is defamation but truth is an absolute defense. So if there is something wrong on tony perkins page, but i want to clarify something mr. Perkins said. Lgb cutie rights or civil rights and most have civil rights under the first amendment. So with people are openly attacking old gp lb g cutie and under the federal laws, they still dont have equal rights. That is something people are fighting about and if you are fighting against that, they might view it and rightfully so as hateful and i think that is very important when you bring up defamation. Tony s dont ask me when i have seen your feet on the website. Tony ben carson as we talked about we have Free Exchange of ideas but we dont with organizations incite violence linked to domestic terrorism. That is the southern Poverty Law Center linked in federal court to domestic terrorism biting side in this type of violence where people have been shot and this is wrong, shannon, we can have a right to disagree over issues and argue over those issues, but we dont have a right to label people pushing and marginalizing to silence inciting violence. That is what the southern wild Poverty Center is doing. Shannon ten seconds or we will get cut off. Ethan tony it is important this incident was horrible but what about the hate groups committing violence White Supremacists tony i will join with you, talking about organizations christian organizations that belief in the biblical definition of moralitye southern Poverty Law Center working with the left trying to silence and intimidate and inciting violence. That is wrong. Shannon we have to leave it there but its good that you guys agree. We all agree White Supremacy have no place and they should be called out. Tony and ethan, thank you very much.

Also breaking tonight the whistleblowing wikileaks said founder Julian Assange. Julian assange kicked out of the sanctuary and in the lenten, within hours today and Julian Assange facing multiple charges in multiple countries and a developing story. Hes been there a while. Hes been there since 2012 and a story, interesting this news coming from the next best sword besides Julian Assange himself, wikileaks which he created the ecuadoran hands want him out of lenten as soon as possible. Within the last few hours wikileaks tweeted breaking a high level source ecuadoran state has told wikileaks Julian Assange expel within hours today using the ina papers offshore scandal and pretext and that it already has an agreement with the u. K. For his arrest. And Julian Assange team wikileaks onto the ecuadoran president involving questionable business deals and that is why Julian Assange allegedly shown the door but the problem for him if he has shown the door, back in the u. K. Territory and could be extradited to the united states. Living in the Ecuadoran Embassy in london since 2012 and you see him on the balcony. That is as far as he can go to avoid Sexual Assault charges in sweden. This marks seven years when he walked into the embassy. He has not stepped foot on the street sense. Assanges name came up during the president ial election when wikileaks published heck emails from clinton campaign. Wikileaks back during 2016 campaign and the administration has made it a priority to punish assange should he return to the state. 2010 assange released secret military plans and diplomatic cables earlier this year. He filed paperwork to block extradition attempts from the united states. Shannon, it is now unclear what assange fate should be with her kicked out in the embassy in london. No comments from the Trump Administration on this, but of course, we will follow. It is fascinating to see him on the balcony. People dont realize that as ecuadorian territory and he steps out and in london again. Shannon it seems like, you almost forget its been seven years hes been there, this development took him about that he may be ousted. Big development, thank you. You bet. Shannon Border Control on campus, and last week activists with career day at the university of arizona with Border Patrol agents. They call the agents murder patrol. And an extension of the kkk. Campus police have charged two students with interfering with peaceful comments and conduct spirit and the professors to speak out in their defense, ande protest began when agents once again part of the career fair. Meanwhile california woman allegedly confronted 74yearold jewish man wearing a maga hat and called him a. Other standing around to shame him. She chased him out of the store vowing to get him fired and kicked out of any club he may belong to. She has since been fired from her job. Kentucky abortion law upheld on an appeal. The federal pool court finding the state law constitutional. It requires doctors with ultrasounds ultrasounds before abortion. And new trouble for Jussie Smollett as he misses a deadline to repay the city of chicago for the cost of the investigation into his kids allocation of the hate crime. Emily on a brandnew developme development. Plus this hot haircut and we will tell you what the heck is happening they are and why stick around. Lets be honest. Its kind of unfair that safe drivers have to pay as much for insurance. As not safe drivers ah that was a stunt driver. Thats why esurance has this drivesense® app. The safer you drive, the more you save. Dont worry, im not using my phone and talking to a camera while driving. Im being towed. By the way, im actually a safe driver. Im just pretending to be a not safe driver. Cool. Bye dennis quaid when insurance is affordable, its surprisingly painless. Fico im i had talked to jesse all the time. Hes doing well. Shannon empire actress said josie small it set to stir in hit tv show. Breaking tonight, chicago is going to sue smollett for refusing to pay to cover the investigative cost on to the alleged hate crime. Joining us now columnist at the hill kristen tate and editor of the federal, emily, great to have you with us tonight. Great to be with you. This is different. If the city goes after him in a civil trial, much less, lower burden than taking someone to a criminal trial and abc chicago affiliate says. Taking the matter to trial small it to make extending negative publicity. Much of the evidence that would have featured at a criminal trial presented at a civil trial and required a different deposition forcing him for the first time to explain evidence that prosecutors say demonstrates he was aligning. Kristin, why doesnt he just pay the fine . Kristen the fact that he wouldnt pay the fine just proves this man thinks hes above the law. This whole ordeal is insulting to the people of chicago and Law Enforcement community, Jussie Smollett deserves harsh punishment punishment not just for wasting hundreds of thousands of tex paylor pet taxpayer dollars but averting manpower. 24 detectives pulled off of other cases to spend 1,000 plus hours probing smolletts claims of all the mess and 2500 other crimes occurred in chicago so victims in cases involving murder, shooting and violent rate did not get the attention they deserve but decided as part of all this is what Jussie Smollett did just deepen the divide in the country if there is one thing we dont need in america another reason to pay people against each other because of racial or political differences. Shannon that is what we heard from the police chief and the mayor about that side effect of this whole thing. And in washington, smollett is not remorseful and surrogates on news. He is innocent. The law only works with people who believe it will be enforced and actually prosecuted. That is absolutely true and why you do not let cases like this slide. Jussie smollett orchestrated the attacks because he was concerned about his pay level on empire appeared im really curious to see what the producers and those in charge of empire do with the paygrade because of what hes done and started a massive amount of publicity. The empire team, fox network seemed to be standing behind him so far. So im curious to see how that is handled in the future. What you dont want to do is award incentivized behavior and hes innocent until Proven Guilty but even the lead detective in the case saying there was overwhelming evidence that they have overwhelming evidence against Jussie Smollett and told that to the chicago tribune. When you look into a situation like this, course Jussie Smollett will not pay 130,000 because that is a confession.
