Leader and nba fanatic kim jongun has even Dennis Rodman singing his praises dont. Reaction from all sides. E we begin with john roberts live on the north lawn. In a phone call to me last november, President Trump said all of these people are saying i want to start a war. I am not trying to start a war, i am trying to prevent one. Now critics who were angry over President Trumps get tough approach to north korea are saying, well, maybe he was right. South koreas officials credited the president s maximum Pressure Campaign for bringing north korea to the table. The press secretary happily agreed. For the first time in a long time the United States is actually having conversations from a position of strength, not a position of weakness like the one that north korea finds itself in due to the maximum Pressure Campaign. The turnaround was stunning. The two leaders traded insults for month. President trump calling kim a maniac and little rocket man. Kim fired back that President Trump was mentally deranged. Even the secretary of state was taken aback by how quickly the landscape changed. What changed was his posture in a very dramatic win that was a surprise to us. He was so forward leaning. White house officials dont why kim did the aboutface but they believe the sanctions were crippling the regime. Reaction to the announcement was almost all positive. We believe that this step is in the right direction. Certainly it is required to normalize the situation around korea. The promise of a oneonone meeting with President Trump is a victory for kim jongun. The white house warning that kim wont get a facetoface unless he gives up his nuclear program. Lets be clear. The United States made zero concessions. North korea made some promises. This meeting wont take place without concrete actions that match the promises made by north korea. President trump is aware that the offer from kim jongun could be another ruse to buy time to complete his nuclear program. Senator rubio is skeptical playing out what kim may be up to. Luring us into negotiations but he will make demands we can never agree to like the u. S. Abandoning south korea. He will say i was reasonable and met with the president and they dont want to deal with me. As the world considers the potential for a historic u. S. And north korea bilateral, the attorney for Stormy Daniels revealed that the president s personal attorney cohn used a trump email to negotiate with daniels. It was not connected to the Trump Campaign. But daniels Attorney Says its evidence that President Trump knew about the agreement. The idea that mr. Cohn was doing this for his client mr. Trump but trump knew nothing about is ridiculous. He said daniels wont get out of the gag order. On north korea, one of the big remaining questions is where could a meeting take place . White house officials trying to work out a location say its complicated. It likely would not be United States, north korea or south korea or china. More likely a neutral 3rd country. Bret thanks. We have been down this path before with north korea. Promises made and broken. Hopes raised and dashed. Jillian turner has a History Lesson for us tonight. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself and for his regime. And President Trump facing kim jongun across the negotiation table he will come facetoface with north koreas track record of lying to the u. S. And the international community. Kim jongun has been strike will deals with the u. S. Since 1994. North korea will freeze and dismantle its nuclear program. South korea and other allies will be better protected. 4 billion in u. S. Aide that agreement collapseed in 2002 when president bush concluded the north was not living up to his agreement. North korea is arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction while starving its citizens. Later north korea with drew from the nonproliferation treaty. President obama had a lot of hope but chance of bringing the rogue regime back into the fold of the international community. North korea can choose to continue down the lonely road of isolation or join the rest of the world. By the end of president obamas first year they declared they were not bound by any terms agreed to in the past. Now President Trump faces a choice of his own. Bret thank you. This is a fox news alert. Law enforcement right now as surrounded a large Veterans Home in northern california. You are looking live. Police exchanged gunfire with the man inside who is holding 3 hostages. The latest from Trace Gallagher in l. A. Good evening. Call of shots fired came in at 10 20 local time and police were on scene within 4 minutes. The authorities believe only one shot was fired inside the Veterans Home but the napa county sheriff confirmed there was a lengthy stretch of gunfire but none ever his deputies were injured. This building houses post911 veterans. Some hostages were released but 3 are still held. Their condition is unknown. Police do know who is the suspect is. His name is not be released but he was a young veteran who spent time in a military facility that deals with Mental Health issues. For now, swat teams have surrounded the scene and are leaving it up to hostages negotiators. Heres the sheriff. We have been trying since 10 30 this morning to contact him by his own cellphone and the phones in the dorm area. The sheriff said negotiators will handle this without calling in the members of the suspects family to help talk him out. At the time of the shooting 80 or so High School Students were in a separate part of the Veterans Home. They were briefly placed on lock down but were never in danger and have been evacuated from the scene. This is the largest Veterans Home in the country housing almost 1,000 vets including some from world war ii. So far no injuries, no motive. No movement in the negotiations at all. Bret we dont know the weapons this person has . We have heard a bunch of different weapons being described, but we dont have any confirmation as to what type of weapon. He will only say its a rifle. Bret Trace Gallagher live in l. A. Following this breaking news. Employers added 313,000 jobs in february. Unemployment rate is at a 17 year low. That added up to big numbers today on wall street. The dow surged 440. The s p 500 up 48. The nasdaq jumped 133 finishing at a record high. Lets get reaction to all of this Deidre Bolton joins us from new york. Good evening. Investors liked what they saw. One telling me he caught a glimpse of the goldilocks scenario. Not too hot and not too cold economic conditions. This is strong. Hiring paired with wage growth and thats key. Investors are less worried about inflation. When wages raise hire quickly they assume it will make borrowing more expenses. American businesses that hired more in february. Construction, retail and building and manufacture. Tech outperformed. Amazon, netflix and microsoft and apple hit a new record. Steel stocks were laggers. Traders opted to sell in response to President Trump offering a new tarrifs plan. Exemptions for canada and mexico are seen as an economic positive. Bigger picture the bull market turns 9 years old today extending an epic run for u. S. Stocks. The second longest in u. S. History. In 1990s that rally died with the tech bubble. If you brought stocks at the recent low emerging from the financial crisis and bought on march 9, 2009, have you done really lead. The s p 500 quadrupled and the nasdaq is up 486 . Some say the coming years will be a slog. But on friday we will end on a high note. Evidence of steady Profit Growth and low american unemployment. Back to you. Bret thanks. It looks like from the president s tweet australia is aded to the list. Saying we dont impose steel tarrifs on australia if the Security Agreement is agreed to there. The Inspector General said the faa is mishandling its project. The 36 billion dollars effort is plagued by leadership problems. The faa calls it inaccurate. The office of the interior secretary said he was not aware of a project to spend 139,000 to upgrade 3 sets of double doors. The office says the plan came from Security Officials as pard the modernization of the Historic Building built in 1936. One door doesnt lock and another door leaks when it rains. We told you President Trump is getting praise from unusual quarters about north korea. The same is true regarding his decision to slap tarrifs on steel and aluminum. Mike emanuel looks at this. Steel is steel. The images were striking. A republican president surrounded by Union Workers who traditionally support democrats. It didnt end. There the steel and aluminum Union Members praised the president for standing up for workers. He was sincere about helping the Steel Workers out. He emphasized our struggles. And an aluminum worker said his facility is only operating at 40 capacity but said the president s signature should have an immediate impact. With these tarrifs, this gives us the ability to come back to 100 capacity and invest in over 100million to our plant and over 300jobs will be brought back to the community. They talked about this president trying to level the Playing Field for american workers. I applaud this administration for having the courage to levy tarrifs to stop the cheating. And united Steel Workers president said by ensuring splice for steel and aluminum mr. Trump is supporting national security. A big change from when he spoke at a rally for Hillary Clinton. Trump never said is there anything i can do to help. Traditional republicans view the measures as attacks. That may make democrats nervous if it causes Union Workers to see this president as looking out for them. Bret up next, an illegal immigrant accuseed in a fatal hitandrun may go free.

Student activists called it a baby step. A judge ordered the confessed shooter to be held without bond nikolas cruz. Today former Trump Campaign aid sam nunberg went before a grand jury looking into the russian collusion case. Fox news learned about the investigation republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are sending a questionnaire about the trump dossier to 2 more officials from the Obama Administration. One was a former vicepresident biden staff member whose husband works for fusion gps. Republicans contend the dossier is a political hit piece funded by the Clinton Campaign and was improperly used to justicify surveillance on trump. An illegal immigrant accused of a hitandrun may walk 3 and federal officials can do nothing about. Inside those flames is a 57yearold man trapped inside the cab of his truck hit by a suspected drunk driver who left the scene of the crash. He was here illegally. U. S. Agency want to deport him back to mexico but the Denver Sheriffs Department is refusing to detain him if he posts bonds. They wont honor civil detain detainers. Denver and colorado have not honored them since 2013 after the American Civil Liberties union sued on behalf of an illegal immigrant. Its a matter of consitutional law and due process. Denver criminal defense attorney said the Sheriffs Department is not doing anything wrong regardless of the crime. Saying because something is serious we want to abandon all of our constitution principles and do what is right, doesnt make any legal sense. Don rosenberg whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant sees it different. His rights dont supersede everybody elsy right. He has no right to be in this country. Ice detains up to 40,000 People Per Day and doesnt have the resources to go after a federal warrant. Having to do so ice argues puts the public at risk. By playicing detainers on the individuals, we improve Public Safety and remove them to their country of origin. The Denver District Attorneys Office said if the suspect makes bond and ice agents nab him there is nothing the d. A. Can do about it. Bret thanks. The president s decision about tarrifs comes just days before a crucial congressional special election in the heart of steel country. Heres the report from pittsburgh. [applauding]. Those pennsylvania steel worker went to the white house to back President Trumps new tarrifs, the united Steel Workers union is not backing his choice for Congress Rick Saccone who is fighting to fill a vacant seat. They rallied for Democrat Conor Lamb this afternoon. Conor lamb because he is for the working man. Protecting Social Security and medicare. Thats what we are looking for. This marine veteran and former follow prosecutor pulled in support from carpenters to goal miners and is endorsed by the largest federation of labor unions in the state. Long time union ally joe biden compained with lamb and Kellyanne Conway stumped for saccone billing him as the right candidate for workers. With respect to the people who motivated donald trump to run for president in the first place. The Steel Workers. The coal miners and all of those employees. Saccone won the endorsement of the National Federation of independent business and aligned himself with the president s agenda. He has air force service and years of international business. There is a stark contrast between myself and my opponent. He is on the opposite side of all issues. I am the man for this job. I am qualified. Over 40 years of Life Experience in education and the miltary and government and international business. Its an unmatched resume compared to conor lamb who has almost no Life Experience. This election may test the power of organized labor and President Trump. He will come to pennsylvania tomorrow in support of saccone and expects a big crowd. Bret thanks. Still ahead.

Bret President Trump pardoned a navy sailor who took photos of classified areas inside a submarine and served a year in federal prison. He was cited in trumps criticism of Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server. He pleaded guilty in 2016 to unauthorized use of taking photos. British police are asking the military to investigate the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter. Its focussing on the victims house on a quiet street. The Police Officers had gone to the home. Russian foreign minister said his country might help in the investigation. Russia denied involvement. These are the most desperate times in venezuela. The economy is collapsing. Poverty is sky rocketing. Thats leading many to abandon hope and leave. Rich tells us about it tonight from the state department. Desperate for food and medicine, thousands from venezuela cross into columbia. We are staffering. Starving. We are dieing of hunger. They are sleeping on the treats. The bills are not worth anything. Just paper. Inflation in venezuela will rise 13,000 and the economy shrinks 15 . More than 4 in 10 in venezuela want to leave the country permanently. Violence and hunger have overcome the country. The president is still pursuing reelection in may. We are under pressure but venezuela is based on principals. The United States called that may 20th election illegitimate and considering sanctions. We have seen the repeated elections where the regime pushed people to vote a certain pay. Our concerns remain about the erosion of democracy in that country. Its more difficult for venezuela residents to leave their country. I hope they dont deport me. I dont know when i want to go back to venezuela. I plan to stay here working to achieve a better life for my children. The president ial election result seems predetermined. The president they say rigged the system and they refuse to participate. Bret rich, thank you. E bret in our continuing series whatever happened to, catching up with the efforts to catch some run aways. Linda vaughn asked to facebook what happened to the Afghan Soldiers missing in the u. S. . Seven went missing in october 2016. There were more prior to that. Some were from fort benning and from fort gordon. Tonight Jennifer Griffin has some answers. They came to america to hone their military skills. What happened once they got here is raising questions. 152 afghans went awol. The largest number of recruits to disappear. 6 months later fox news learned an international 27 afghan troops at bases across the u. S. Ran away. Where did they go and what happened to them. Some escaped up north to canada. 164 were caught and sent back to afghanistan. 9 remain at large according to numbers provided by the pentagon. A democratic senator demanded answers. Since 11 afghan trainees ran from the fort in the senators home state. The department of Homeland Security locateded all 11. We were not giving them proper support. They were offered the perfect opportunity to be safe and secure somewhere else. 2,750 Afghan Soldiers received u. S. Based training. The Afghan Embassy has tried to ensure they return to jobs in cabul. We are doing everything we can to ensure that did not happen. The pentagon has until march 15th to respond to the special Inspector General with the explosive report about what the department of defense and ice are doing to keep Afghan Office going awol. Bret up next the panel on President Trumps decision to meet with the north koreas dictator kim jongun. But they might not be enough to protect my heart. Adding bayer aspirin can further reduce the risk of another heart attack. Because my Second Chance matters. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. So allstate is giving us money back on our bill. Well, that seems fair. We didnt use it. Wish we got money back on gym memberships. Get money back hilarious. With claimfree rewards. Switching to allstate is worth it. As far as north korea is concern concerned know. North korea best not make anymore threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury. North korea kim jongun is committed to denuclearization. President trump President Trump said he will meet kim jongun by may. We wont have this meeting take place until we see concrete actions that match the words of north korea. North korea made some promises. Bret and Sarah Sanders said 8 times there needed to be concrete actions by north korea before it was schedule, this meeting between President Trump and kim jongun. Because of the diplomacy actions in the past. In 1994 north korea signed framework and moved forward with their program anyway. 2002 to 2007 if anyone thought that donald trump hasnt been talking talking to the North Koreans for a long time heres an interview back in 1999. We have a country out there, north korea, which is sort of whacko and not a bunch of dummies and they are going out and developing nuclear weapons. They are not doing it because they are having fun doing it. They are doing it for a reason. Wouldnt it be good to sit down and really negotiate something . That negotiation doesnt work, solve the problem now rather than later. Bret our panel. Charles from the washington times, amy host of no labels radio and tom a writer for the washington examiner. Tom, you wrote this is progress. It is progress. It is progress in the sense that finally north korea has put itself in a position to at least talk about the potential suspension of these problems. Ballistic missiles are critic. I dont think there is anything to lose if the president meets with kim jongun as soon as possible and 72 after they get the inspectors in. We could have 2 weeks of snap inspections. The worst case is you have spent 3 or 4 weeks doing something unusual, but you have not wasted months. Wasting months would mean their development to the ballistic missiles. If this works great. We have not lost that much time. Bret is it a fact these sanction visit had an effect . They have squeezed him enough he was feeling it . Do we believe that to be a fact . We do. I have given this Administration Great credit for going further than past ones. Squeezing the chinese. Getting sanctions out of the u. N. , but i think toms writings on this. They need a little more time to reach operational capacity. Talking about halting tests while they complete the development of their arsenal, this provides them more time. These are promises they have never kept. Why would you be getting so close to completing your mission that you have put a priority above all else and starved your people for, why fold now . This is not nation that keeps its promises. The president s spokeswoman said someone got to him and said you need to make clear you need inspections before you sit down. Bret yes, hence the 8 concretes from Sarah Sanders. Supporters say this was part of President Trump when he talked in a bellicose way of fire and fury and all of the tweets and how big is your button and all of that . This led to a change in the dynamic. Critics say sitting down with kim jongun, you are giving him exactly what he wants. Legitimacy up against an american president. Sure, but you dont want to minimize the part about some of the bellicose remarks. Last week we the president joking with the dangers of meeting with a madman and he said thats his problem. That was the dinner. Yes. I think stuff could be playing crazy is an effective way to do it. Donald trump himself warned against false hopes. This could be foot dragging. I would rather have this happening right now than something else. I dont think its we know that 20 years of patience which is diplomat speak for we got nothing or i am not doing anything hasnt worked out very well for us. Maybe trying to get movement is not a bad thing. Bret for republicans who are reacting to this and cautiously. President obama when he campaigned said he would meet with kim jongun and other leaders around the world. He was criticized for that. The key issue here, though, is why doesnt the president meet with kim jongun before may . The key is to test as quickly as you can. Have that meeting and get the inspectors in. Bret the diplomats say are they ready . What is there to be ready about . Bret able to move forward with the inspectors after they leave the table . I think is stuff you can get done quickly if you need to. That should be the factor. Does it happen quickly . I think it doesnt, unfortunately. No. I think it takes longer. Bret next up the friday lightning round. The pennsylvania election and winners and losers. Prudential asked these couples how much money do you think youll need in retirement . Then we found out how many years that money would last them. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen . It turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. We have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. Lets plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. Prudential. Bring your challenges. Bret our Steel Workers here can compete with anybody in the World Without any problem as long as the Playing Field is level. The Playing Field has been slanted. I think President Trump is trying to level that back out again. He is getting wide support from the people in my district. I agree we have to take action to level the Playing Field here. Our Steel Workers worked hard for a long time and make the best steel in a world. Bret a tight race. The special election in pennsylvania. It is steel country so this tarrifs issue will play. Tuesday is the special election. Democrat versus republican and its very, very tight. Throwing in a lot of heavy hirtz in there. Biden, the president is headed there this weekend. Back with the panel. Charlie, how will this play . Who knows right now . Its closer than republicans wanted it to be. Conor lamb the democrat should be given credit for running on the old democratic platform when donald trump stole from the democrats in the last election. You may not like tarrifs or unions, you may not like these sorts of policies. But this is what donald trump ran on. Its another Campaign Promise he is keeping. The republicans now are sending leaflets and flyers in about conor lamb the democrat and the support of the nra to break up the progressive supporter the left for the democrat. This is an interesting race. Yes, i think conor lamb is obviously an incredibly impressive candidate and all republicans will talk about what a bust saccone is and what a dream candidate conor lamb is. But i think the expectations game is shrewdly played. Republicans say its lambs to lose. It will be a wipe out. I think they are driving up republican turnout saying hes got it in the bag. Saccone could easily pull this out. Bret especially with a visit from President Trump. Right. This has become a referendum on the president because of the steel tarrifs. I think the white house, one of the reasons you see this push to make sure we have to win this guys is that the president , this is the testing thing. Bret we just got this from the pentagon. The plans for the veterans day parade. It was going to be july 4th. Now its virend. Veterans day. Its the military parade the president wants, from the white house to the capitol. Highlighting the evolution of womens veterans in world war ii and veterans in previous wars with formations wearing period uniforms. It will include wheeled vehicles, no tanks. They must be considering minimizing the damage to local infrastructure, and a heavy air component at the end of the parade to include older aircraft as available. We dont know the cost. Estimate the 30 million. You cant say a guy doesnt like to throw a party. He likes to put on a show. The great thing about having the Strongest Military on the planet, you dont need a military parade but its fun to have one maybe. We dont do this in this country. When this topic came up a month ago, military veterans weighed in about how this is the exact opposite things, they dont do glory. They do service and put their head down. There are many ways to honor the veterans. I am all in for a period costume, love it. Our secretary of defense it will be a painful day. Bret winners and losers. The winner is vladimir putin. They have this big story coming out. Russians will be right fielded in the coming weeks. Nothing happened. Second and my loser this week is the united nations. There are other issues on the radar and we see the bloodshed in congo and nothing gets done. Thousands of personnel and los of billions. Bret winners and losers . My winner is kim jongun. He has fulfilled a decades long goal of his regime if he gets a meeting with a u. S. President. He will be a short, fat and very happy dictator. My loser is obviously freetrade. This week with these tarrifs. Think about of the forces that fought and failed to stop the president on these tarrifs. The idea in the pennsylvania special that both candidates support them amazing. My winner is the steel Union President who was at the white house this week talking about tarrifs. His father lost a job in the steel mills. Hopes to see those jobs come back. The loser obama, bush and clinton. Bret thank you. When we come back, notable quotables. You said youre not like me, never drop to your knees, look into the sky for a momentary high, you never even tried till its time to say goodbye, bye everybody fights for a little bit of light, i believe. Geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. Theres only one catch. Car of your choice. This is the last car youre ever going to get in your life. You would baby that car. Well, you dont just get one car in your life. You get one mind and one body. And, its what you do today that determines how your mind and body operates, years from now. Bret bret finally tonight, this weeks notable quotables. To what do you owe this recent openness to talk . Me. President trump meet kim jong un. Steel is steel. If you dont have steel, you dont have a country. Your tariffs against allies one wonders who the enemies are. I like conflict. I like seeing it. Lets not be delicate. Did she have a sexual relationship with the president. Yes. Coming off as angry 13yearold kid who hates daddy trump and doesnt want to respect mueller. He may be a globalist i still like him. There is nobody left that can tame trumps whacko impulses. Lets arm wrestle. California, we have a problem. Political stunt. You have the money can you have the sanctuary cities. The nra as it exists today have in essence become a terrorist organization. Ongoing effort of the russians. Always good to have a paperbackup system. Serious investigations dont leak. Go get daca. Dont push those democrats. It seems no one is home in the white house right now. Believe me, Everyone Wants to work in the white house because we have energy like rarely before. This is march madness. Its march madness [buzzer]. Bret one week. Thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. Thats it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Tune in to local listings. Michael also a welcomes mike pompeo and Elizabeth Warren from the state of massachusetts. The story guest hosted by sandra smith starts right now. Sandra great show, bret. We pick up the story from here. New signs of bias surface in the antitrump dossier. House republicans are expanding their search for answers. Setting their sights on two former Obama Administration officials including a former staff for Vice President biden whose husband has a direct line to fusion gps.
