Thanks, neil. Bill barr told republican senator Lindsey Graham it will be weeks, not months to get a version of the Mueller Report to the hill. A Senior Justice Department official said barr did not telegram that he intends to share the report with the white house in advance of the public release. On capitol hill earlier today, the president take aim at democrats. I dont think theyre talking about impeachment. We have the greatest economy weve ever had. Our country is in incredible shape. They created a fraud with this ridiculous witch hunt where it was proven strongly no collusion, no obstruction, no nothing. Separately these Text Messages between former acting fbi direct or the Andrew Mccabe and lisa page obtained by fox news raise new questions about a high level meeting among Senior Intelligence officials after the 2016 election. The meeting includes James Clapper, john brennan and the information was shared with pete, believed to be peter strzok. James clapper told pete that he was meeting with brennan and cohen for dinner tonight. Just fyi. Cohen somebody cake replied, okay. Fox news reached out for comment if the meeting focused open collusion, the president or former general mike flynn. Former government officials characterized it to discuss matters. In the last hour, neil, weve got new information about george papadopoulos. His legal team has formally asked the president for a pardon in his case and papadopoulos has told fox news that if it were to be granted by the president , he would accept it and be honored, neil. Neil thank you. Papadopoulos will be speaking out tonight. Hes going to be joining Martha Maccallum on fox news. Dont forget to catch that. Meanwhile, the Green New Deal is coming up to its first big test. A vote the democrats say is more cosmetic than anything else. Republicans say its crucial to see if they mean what they say. Peter doocy has more from capitol hill. Hi, peter. Neil, any minute now, there will be a procedural vote open the Green New Deal. Mitch mcconnell is trying to give democrats a chance to vote on the record for this transformation of society to benefit the environment because so many of them are talking about it out on the campaign trail. But because this procedural vote is expected to fall far short of the 60 votes it needs to pass, Chuck Schumer is calling this a gotya vote and Kirsten Gillibrand has said shes going to vote present. Obviously a vote present today is a vote in favor of the Green New Deal. Theres about to be a big fight over obamacare here as well. The trump Justice Department just agreed with the judge in texas that ever since the republican tax reform bill gutted the individual mandate of obamacare, the law must be unconstitutional. So now democrats are accusing republicans of trying to take coverage away from people with preexisting conditions. I thought we were beyond the effort to destroy the Affordable Care act. The administration is proving new lows in abrogating responsibility, in which they have a responsibility to do to defending this law and will mean preexisting conditions sufferers will go without healthcare. Obamacare was the big congressional legislative win for democrats the last time that nancy pelosi was the speaker of the house a decade ago. President trump today sounded confident about whatever they have planned. He said that soon republicans will be known as the party of healthcare. Neil . Shepard thanks very much. Is the president right about that . He was up visiting the senate side today meeting with republicans right now in the white house, meeting with other key republicans when it comes to trade pacts. Lets go to rob portman and how that meeting went with the president. I understand the. a standing ovation when he entered the room. He did. He got a standing ovation. He always does when he enters that room. Its the republican senate. He did a good job. He talked about healthcare, by the way. Just heard your report. He said that republicans ought to be for protecting people with preexisting conditions. I couldnt agree with him more. Thats the consensus among republicans. The question is not about preexisting conditions. We agree on that. The question is about the high costs that have been associated with the Affordable Care act and how do we provide better access to people and lower costs. Neil if the president and your colleagues, sir, are interested the Justice Department following up on a texas law to get rid of the Affordable Care act, you dont have anything yet in its place. So you could be behind a rock and a hard place. Yeah, it will take awhile, as you know. I dont know that this will make its way to the Supreme Court even before the end of this first term for the president , the end of this congress. Doesnt mean we should get started. We should. We should have a backup plan and protecting preexisting conditions. Were giving people a better deal for their healthcare dollars. Neil dont you think you should have a backup plan before you jetson the one out there . Youll have millions that will be very scared and out of coverage in the most extreme case. It wont be congress that gets rid of it. It would be the Supreme Court. Neil but those people would be left out. So what do you think theyre going to do . Blame you guys whether its fair or not. So we should act. I have always believed that the constitutional underpinnings of the Affordable Care act were questionable. We have talked about this before. Its been a couple years. Never made sense to say that this was somehow a constitutional bill when the mandate was viewed to be a taxing power issue by the Supreme Court, which was quite a stretch to call it constitutional. That was taken out in the tax bill, as you know, that is something that is now led this court in texas to say now theres really not a constitutional leg to stand on. The question is what should we do legislatively. So regardless of what the court does, if they decide its unconstitutional or upholds the aca, we should still move. Legislation is needed to reduce costs on healthcare and improve access and ensure people have preexisting condition coverage. Were Getting Started on that now. Neil so your confident something will get done to avoid that . That was a big issue in the midterms. So id lining to switch gears on the Mueller Report. Your colleague Lindsay Graham says its time to investigate how the investigation started. Are you in the camp that says all right, with all the other investigations going on in the house, for example, looking at the president s finances and starting your own republicans starting their own to get to the bottom of how the investigation of the president s started. Sounds like a lot of investigations. Yeah. Some people are getting investigation fatigue. I dont blame them. Shepard you think that senator graham may be with the best of intensions at risk of doing the same . We have to be darn sure that we have not politicized our Justice System and the fbi and the fisa courts. So i think its a worth while investigation to have. Dont support having another independent or special counsel to to that. That is the difference. The Justice Department should have and i hope they are investigating that anyway, neil. Some of the charges that have been talked about and some of the information that you provided today, for instance, about meetings that might have taken place, of course the Justice Department should look at them. It doesnt have to be with an independent counsel. But in terms of the Mueller Report, i said lets let mueller do his work, have him do it expeditiously. Id did it take two years. But guess what . There was no collusion. Because of the recommendation from the report, the attorney general and the Deputy Attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, who began this investigation, both said theres no obstruction. So i think this is good for the country. This is what everybody in the country should be happy about. It shows that there was not this collusion and there was not the obstruction of justice that was talked about. Thats good for the country. Doesnt mean that the russians did interfere. They did. Thats in the report. Neil obviously your democratic colleagues want that same report out sooner than later. Lets get it. Neil they also want to know if bob mueller did give the president a complete passage on the obstruction of justice. Im wondering what you make over the back and forth with this obstruction issue and whether any delay will compound that democratic attack . I dont think there should be much of a delay. Im told it will be days or weeks before we get the report. Thats good. Obviously have to be some grand jury and classified information that is redacted. I want to see the report. The American People want to see it. What well find is based on the summary that there is no evidence with regard to the obstruction issue in terms of the National Indictment or charge. Again, it wasnt just the attorney general. It was the Deputy Attorney general that looked at the information in the report and concluded that there was no basis for an obstruction of justice charge to be levelled. So i think thats good news for the country, again, i hope that we can move on and deal with other pressing issues like healthcare. Ensuring that we protect people with preexisting conditions. Neil senator, thank you. The beautiful state of ohio. By now you heard that charges have been dropped in the case against Actor Jussie Smollett. But prosecutors are really not indicating why they did that. We do know that the mayor of chicago and the police chief of chicago are livid over this. After this. So, youre open all day, thats what 24 7 means, sugar. Kind of like how you get 24 7 access to licensed agents with geico. Hmm . Yeah, you just go online, or give them a call anytime. You dont say.

Thats why were working on ways to improve it. So plants. Can be a little more. Like plants. Neil all right. Prosecutors dropping all charges against the Actor Jussie Smollett earlier today. Prosecutors still think that smollett was up to something and the major flabbergasted and the police chief as well. Matt finn with more from chicago. Matt . After Jussie Smollett was indicted on 16 felony charges of lying to police, he was scheduled to be back in Court Next Month and suddenly today there was an emergency hearing in which his case was dropped. A judge granted the prosecutors request to stop prosecuting these 16 charges. The Cook County States Attorneys Office wrote after reviewing all the facts and circumstances of the case including mr. Smolletts volunteer service in the community and an agreement to forfeit his bond to the city of chicago, we believe this is a justice position and appropriate resolution to this case. This afternoon the Police SuperintendentEddie Johnson and rahm emanuel are slamming the prosecutor for dropping the charges. This is not justice. The mayor says the 16 counts that came from a grand jury could not be any more clear. Did this all in the name of selfpromotion. He used the law to the hate crime legislation that all of us collectively over the years have put on the books to stand up to be the values that embody what we believe in. This is a whitewash of justice. Shepard after the hearing, smollett said ive been truthful an consistent every moment since day one. Neil . Neil matt, if youre confused, youre not the only one. Emily, in the end, smollett said i was truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. If that were the case, he wouldnt have been charged in the first place. So what happened . Frankly, the police chief and the mayor of chicago are just as surprised as i am. I dont know one person that isnt shocked right now. Ill say that i have never in my career seen a disconnect with the Prosecutorial Division and Law Enforcement. I havent seen a presser like this that Law Enforcement dealt with. You saw they cited the grand jury indictments. Usually if theres a procedure al misstep, a witness, a weakness, that all goes on behind closed doors and a conference between Law Enforcement and the police so that before proceeding to trial, theyre rectified. Here it seems like it was made to everyones shock. Neil to what end though . I dont know. Note that the police union, the Chicago PoliceDepartment Union called for a separate federal investigation by the doj into the prosecutor, the States Attorney Office there, because of the they said inappropriate Text Messages and communications between the state prosecutor and the fbi regarding a request to investigate Jussie Smolletts case on the federal side. So that request is pending, by the way. Dont forget that other federal investigation into the alleged hoax letter by my count culls up the possibility of three separate charges and 30 to 45 years in prison if convicted on that front. So its not the last of the Jussie Smollett story, nor the tension between Law Enforcement and prosecutors there in chicago. But at least on the state level with this particular one, i think its dead in the water. Neil you know what i dont understand, normally when they drop charges, its because the defendant has fessed up or taken some responsibility for something. Over a dozen charges here. But not a one. In fact, he insisted on his innocence today. That is why the mayor and the police chief were flabbergasted. They argue that they had him dead center on this and they werent given a headsup on this. That in itself is weird. Neil exactly. I think what kind of doesnt sit well with me as a constituent and a citizen, over the level of tension between those two justice bodies. Nobody wants to feel that theres this huge disconnect and frankly animosity between the Law Enforcement and the prosecutorial arms of cities. We want to say theyre collaborative and a checks and Balance System and not animus and total shock between the two. Obviously the attorneys are crowing right now with joy on his part. He maintains his innocence which he will not likely deliver the apology that the police requested and the 10,000 restitution, ive seen so much heavier and larger fines for such less accused behavior. Neil but that was in chicago. Like another favorable act on his part to just surrender it to chicago. Right. Thats what i mean. Like a drop in the bucket compared to the resources deployed on his behalf. Remember, he filed that original police report. Neil which went into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thanks, emily. If we get anymore new on this, well pass it along and be back on what exactly the attorney general, william barr, might have gotten wrong when he said the president did not obstruct justice. By now wouldnt bob mueller have corrected him if that indeed were the case . Judge napolitano is here on that after this. Maria ramirez . Hi. Maria ramirez mom maria Maria Ramirez.

Its a procedural matter but the Green New Deal vote has a test vote going on right now. A lot of democrats have gotten marching orders to vote present. Its a trap by republicans. Republicans are saying you stand by this Green New Deal or you dont. So theyre putting it to the test. Well see later on how far that test goes. Meantime, the attorney general, william barr says its going to be weeks, not months before the full Mueller Report is released to congress. We dont know if its the full report. Im reminded that that is easier said than done. Judge napolitano says why its more complicated. Do you remember the controversy caused by james comey . In the summer of 2016 said that were not going to prosecute mrs. Clinton. We have evidence ago her. They could not discuss the evidence when theres not a prosecution. The same rules prohibit bill barr revealing what bob mueller accumulated and decided was not sufficient to prosecute. So in order to review that, even theres a pressing public desire for it, he has to go to a federal judge to get an order to do so. If you read between the line, theres times bombs in there the president might not be happy with. For example, when describing muellers report, attorney general barr says were not able to establish the existence of a conspiracy. That doesnt mean theres no evidence of a conspiracy. If bob mueller found no evidence of a conspiracy, bill bar would have told him that. In stead he said we cant believe beyond a reasonable doubt. When the Mueller Report comes out, it will show what evidence there is in there against the president much of which he would just assume not be in the public domain. Neil but if barr got his interpretation wrong on the obstruction of justice, wouldnt mueller have corrected him by now . I dont think he got the interpretation wrong at all. Neil so thats why mueller didnt correct him . Sure. Neil im sure jerry nadler and others, oh, wait a minute. Thats the attorney general saying that. Thats not mueller. Im sure knowing barr and knowing his intellect, he got the bottom line correct. Im also sure theres a lot of evidence in there that is damning for the president and the democrats want it out there so that they can secondguess bob mueller and bill barr as to whether its guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Then theyll want not just the 700page report. Its a summary of two million pages of raw evidence. Neil you think the summary items that he outlined were i know Rod Rosenstein saw them in all. To you think he ran this by mueller before he sent it out . The ap reports he did not. I dont believe those reports. I know the relationship neil he wouldnt want to risk it. Correct. They didnt have time to go through two million pages. Bob mueller and his crew can paint out to them things that they need to know to save them from having to do that. The bottom line is theres bad stuff in there about the president both on conspiracy and obstruction of justice. When a report comes out, the democrats will feast on it. Neil and republicans will feast on them feasting on it. Probably. And Lindsey Graham will want to know who started the feasting. Neil and why and the legal cases about that. On and on we go. Theyre not going to stop. We talked about this earlier, neil. Its in human nature not to want to stop. I wish they could. I believe in small government. This is not government. This is government devouring itself. Neil i like that. You have a future, judge. So smart. I knew he would put this in perspective. We have senator rand paul coming up on this and this green vote test thats going on where a lot of democrats have been told just vote present. Its a republican trap. Republicans said no, its not a trap. Its your idea. Were voting on it after this. But allstate actually helps you drive safely. With drivewise. It lets you know when you go too fast. And brake too hard. With feedback to help you drive safer. Giving you the power to actually lower your cost. Unfortunately, it cant do anything about that. Now that you know the truth. Are you in good hands . Rheumatoid arthritis or Psoriatic Arthritis. When considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr a oncedaily pill for adults with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis or active Psoriatic Arthritis for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. It can reduce pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function. Xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened. As have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, low blood cell counts, higher liver tests and cholesterol levels. Dont start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. Your doctor should perform blood tests before and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. Tell your doctor if youve been somewhere fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. Dont let another morning go by without asking your doctor about xeljanz xr p3 its meat, cheese and nuts. I keep my protein interesting. Oh yea, me too. I have cheese and uh these herbs. P3 snacks. The more interesting way to get your protein. Neil youre looking live on the vote of the floor of the senate. A lot of democrats say theyre going to vote present. Republicans say youre wasting your time. Both sides going at it after this. Neil a lot to discuss with kentucky senator rand paul that joins us right now. The green vote going on, a test vote. A lot of democrats say its a political stunt by republicans. The republicans say you came up with the idea. If you stand by it, vote for it. Were told the democrats will vote present on this. But it is a test of strength there. A lot of people say politics on both sides. Senator rand paul, how would you vote on this . Im not for socialism. Im also not for ending an era in which we can drive cars or fly airplanes or regulating cows out of existence. Theres a lot of absurdities to the left and the left has gone further and further to the left with the Climate Change and alarmism. They have to be called out for the crazy things theyre asking for. If people want to give up cars, airplanes, cows, if that will all happen and were going to spend 60 trillion on it, people need to know this is the lunacy coming from the left. Neil for those democrats that vote present with marching orders from Chuck Schumer, what do you think of that . Theyre going to say this is not what were really for. Yet we put their own words before them. So they get a chance to vote on it. Gives us a chance to discuss the craziness of what theyre advocating, this is something that would shut down the whole modern economy of the u. S. Its so naive and also dangerous that there does need to be a discussion about it. Nothing will happen because of this vote other than to draw attention to it. If theyre for this and all the leading Democratic Candidates are coming forward and this is the new litmus test for the Green New Deal, the American Public needs to know its going to cost between 50 and 90 trillion. It would bankrupt the country and also shut down whole industries. Think of how many people work in the fossil fuel, oil destroy. Hundreds of thousands of people. Think of how it would be with no airplanes. Think if we regulate how much we drive your car . A very extreme proposal. They have to come forward and defend it. Neil the president , if i could switch gears, say hes been completely exonerated. Do you agree . Absolutely. This is a good day for america, if were going to get beyond this. I think it was a partisan witch hunt from the beginning. The president has been exonerated. The democrats and some in the left wing media that promoted this, they need to apologize and be more objective in the reporting and how theres a ordinary ty that the president is a russian spy which is insulting and ridiculous. Neil its probably not so open and shut for obstruction of justice. Democrats want to see that report quickly to conclude for themselves. Attorney general barr has said, you know, one way or the other, there was nothing conclusive on that front. If he was wrong on that, mueller would have corrected him. What do you think about that . I think that you cant obstruct justice when there wasnt a crime. How do you cover up for a crime that didnt occur . If President Trump and nobody in his campaign colluded with russia, which was the accusation, if they didnt do that, how can they be covering up for something they didnt do . So i think its this idea that wheres the burden . Its sort of like somebody stole some, you know, groceries in new york today. Are you guilty of it, neil . Do you have to prove that youre not guilty or should the government have to prove youre guilty . It turns its on its head oh, the president needs to prove he didnt obstruct justice. Its the governments job. They didnt prove it. You cant obstruct a crime that didnt happen. Neil if it were groceries, people might i asked you about this request about the papadopoulos camp has had and others for pardons from this president. Do you think he should pardon anyone . The one that i have the strongest feeling about is general flynn. I think no american should be prosecuted for something that they said in a private phone call unless a judge gave a warrant to the government and said they could listen to the phone call. They listened to general flynn because they were spying on the russian ambassador. Thats foreign intelligence. That shouldnt be domestic prosecution. What they did to flynn not only was unfair but should be unconstitutional. Ive been bugging the president for years to come forward and fix this for all americans and say that no foreign intelligence gathering of information could ever be used ago an american citizen in court for a crime unrelated to terrorism. So what they did to general flynn was unfair and i have told the president hes not responded to me, but i told him my opinion is he ought to pardon general flynn. Neil the president has gone on those on testimony v including people like the former cia director, john brennan who all but called him a traitor, i think he did. Do you think anybody that has said stuff like that should apologize . You know, i think with people like john brennan and James Clapper that are known to have lied in their official capacity that their partisan ship is really unbecoming. What they have done and said about the president is unbecoming. So i can understand the president s anger towards them. I think john brennan should have been prosecuted for tapping to democratic computers when they studied torture and he should have been prosecuted for lying to congress when saying they werent collecting our phone data when they were. I worry about people that have that much power and control and can eavesdrop on every moment of our lives. I worry theyre dishonest and have come out with extreme vitreal for the president. Thanks, rand paul. Shepard thank you. Building a better bank starts with looking at something old, and saying, really . So capital one is building something completely new. Capital one cafes. Inviting places with people here to help you, not sell you. And savings and checking accounts with no fees or minimums. Because thats how it should be. You can open one from right here or anywhere in 5 minutes. Seriously, 5 minutes. This is banking reimagined. Whats in your wallet . The Big Drug Companies dont see they see us as profits. Were paying the highest Prescription Drug prices in the world so they can make billions . Americans shouldnt have to choose between buying medication and buying food for our families. Its time for someone to look out for us. Congress, stop the greed. Cut drug prices now. Neil so fearful for the future of this world that you dont want to bring kids into this world. A growing trend here at home. More women are saying they will not have children because of Climate Change. Andrea botner here with us, Margie Clifton and tianna love. I dont understand the thinking behind this. I guess the world will be a dangerous place. You dont want to bring kids into a world like this. Is that the gist of it . First thing, if youre going to have children because you think Climate Change will kill us all in the next 12 years, dont have children because iq is hereditary. This idea that if women dont have children that that will help the fight against Climate Change and were not discussing the expansion of Nuclear Power or sanctioning india and china, its truly delusional and a radical apocalyptic turn that a certain wing of the Democratic Party has embraced. Neil if you dont want to risk bringing a child in, right . I dont want to pass on decisions to have children or not. A lot of women afraid for the children, not about the impact on the children. More so what the planet will be like for them. Having a children is a selfless act and its not a selfless thought. But it signals a big change in how these younger generations are thinking. You look at millennials, theyre more certainly conscious. 66 of women in the United States believe that Climate Change is an issue. And 22 of women in australia are not having children because of Climate Change. And you know, it signals a shift in peoples thinking. For politics, its important to pay notice to. Andrea, what do you think . To have a child is a personal decision. Theres many issues. Climate change is one of medium that people worry about and wonder about. Anybody that has a child knows what a big decision it is. Frankly when we look back in this country and we think of times when weve gone through world wars, depression, nuclear threat, theres many concerns. But theres no guarantee. With parenthood. Neil an important point there, might be Climate Change to worry about but male or female would think im worried about war, worried about this other stuff, worried about whatever, the debt. It a push if you think of the debt. But im wondering if theres other forces at play here reflecting this frustration on the part of women to say no, im not going to risk it. If theres the issue that two things cant be true at ones. We cant say this is an imminent problem that we arent seriously discussing sanctions or that we are not discussing the National Nuclear energy. Because these are not being brought up shows how unserious the concern about the problem is. Neil we dont know that. Margie, we dont know that. We just accept these women at face value of their concern and this is the best way they can see by addressing it by not adding to the population. Neil marjorie . Yeah, the big issue there is women talking about climate and future. When you look at the actual birth rates, 2017 being the lowest weve ever had in history or at least since they were measured in 1909, when you look at trends through history, when we had lowest birth rates, its economically driven. Depression is the last time we had a significant drop. Today we need to look at the cost of school. College admission is a big trend right now. The cost of college. Those are things that i hear parents talking a lot about. Not only what does the future look like but what can i provide to them neil and this will cinch the deal. Were learning that republicans got enough votes to defeat the Green New Deal. So if these women were on the fence about not having kids, this might have cinched it. What do you think . Absolutely. I dont think theres any sort of debate that theres Climate Change. But the way that were going to address it, how much were going to spend, how vociferously well fight that problem, that all comes into play. Its one of many issues that women and parents to be and everybody else are going to be worrying about. Theres no guarantee with parenthood. You have to take a leap of faith at some point. Neil indeed. Ladies, thank you all very much, again, republicans getting their way on this green deal. Democrats arent done. After this. I cant tell you who i am or what i witnessed, but i can tell you Liberty Mutual customized my Car Insurance so i only pay for what i need. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Tit cant be found on. Just any map. A place miles from the beaten path. Overcoming twists and turns, ups and downs. Whatever life throws. A place to always strive for. For all the journeys that make us stronger. Neil you know, boeing has been flying these test flights of the 737 max flights. A southwest max 8 landed safely in orlando declaring it an Emergency Landing after suffering engine problems according to the faa. If we find out more if the problems are are similar to the ones encountered in a couple of other 737 max 8 aircraft, well keep you posted. The house failing to override the president s veto to end a bill on the National Emergency declaration. My next guest happy with that, the former board patrol chief under bob mueller. Grad to have you back. Thank you. Were getting word that the administration is reappropriating a billion dollars of defense funds to pay for this. What do you think . Obviously its a good day for our national security. That 1 billion will come from the pentagon spending. That will be a good down payment, a good start to help that multilayered strategy neil you dont know where the money is continuing from . I dont know the specifics of where its coming from. Again, as part of that, we talked about the multilayer strategy of the wall in strategic locations. This is a good start. Its on its way. Were fighting a double crisis here. Both a threat and humanitarian crisis. So that multilayer strategy including wall will go a long ways to addressing the threat. It does nothing to remove the incentive factors of the Central American families and minors coming here. That today is what is overwhelming us at the southwest border. Neil and the Detention Centers that we talked about. You think any of the money should be at least fronted into these centers so that theyre not releasing 2,000 every week as was the case last weekend . Absolutely. Youre spot on. First, lets start with ice. We have to increase the did tension space for ice specifically on family units. We have to take a look at the same thing for Border Patrol as well. That wont fix the problem. The problem is to remove the incentive and the pull factor for them coming here. We have to fix the laws, work with mexico. We need to stop them from coming. If not, its not going to change. Mark morgan, thanks. Former Border Patrol chief under barack obama. Good seeing you. The president as you know has been consistently ripping the press for the russian collusion delusion. His lawyer, rudy guliani, is demanding some in the media to quit pontificating and start apologizing. The read from joe concha on that after this. Of onceweekly ozempic®. In a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. Oh under seven . And you may lose weight. In the same oneyear study, adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. Oh up to 12 pounds . A twoyear study showed that ozempic® does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack, stroke, or death. Oh no increased risk . Oh, oh, oh, ozempic® ozempic® should not be the first medicine for treating diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not share needles or pens. Dont reuse needles.

I had a few good tricks to help hide my bladder leak pad. Like the old tunic tug. But always discreet is less bulky. And it really protects. cause it turns liquid to gel. So i have nothing to hide. Always discreet. I switched to geico and saved hundreds. Thats a win. But its not the only reason i switched. Geicos a company i can trust, with over 75 years of great savings and service. Now thats a winwin. Switch to geico. Its a winwin. The president has been does he have a point . Lets ask joe concha. Hes essentially saying that it was a rigged presentation built on a rigged dossier and they bought it hook, line, and sinker. The very least they should apologize. What do you say . Neil, what im seeing at this point is defiance and set of apologies. I saw a morning show host on another network saying anyone whos criticizing the media on this, save your breath. Were going to continue to pursue the path. This was a matter of building a narrative around information that was coming from sources that probably werent in the room with bob mueller or or into any sort of inner circle whether newell was going on and it was fed to reporters, much like i feed my dog steak from ruths steak house or could be recalled pizza and the dog is going to eat it. Reporters were doing that far too often. They were accepting information that either they knew was false and they wanted to believe that they went to air with it. We saw example after example, it only went one way, negative towards the president or the administration. Negative information about there is collusion, this happened and it all turned out to be wrong. Too many examples to count. There should be apologies. We sought after the iraq war with wmds. People came forward and said we got it wrong we should do better. Ive not seen one hint of that. Neil im wondering how far the backandforth goes. Lindsey graham wants to get an investigation going based on how this all started. Im thinking oh, my gosh, not another investigation. Im not another drawnout thing. When do you stop . I think the problem is that there are multiple investigations on the democratic side so if youre republican, trump supporter, you say whats one more . Neil i understand but they cant do cease and desist . Democrats keeping hearings going on in impeachments and what have you. I get it. I understand it but no one will have the mutual lets stop. I think the American People want that. I saw a cnn poll that said 0 of people say the rush investigation will affect their vote. 0 . Thats remarkable. I would think that jacob both sides would cool it but i think too often from a media perspective, thats what our media wants because hearings do well from a ratings perspective. Have a lot of sizzle, not a lot of steak, as we saw with russian collusion. Unfortunately i think were going to end up going down this path and were going to miss the big stories. The Opioid Epidemic kills more than 70,000 people per year, more than car crashes. You tell me how often you see indepth reporting on that, on the evening newscasts or cable news. Thats a big story in this country right now thats affected peoples lives are a daily basis, as is the economy. We can talk about that and Foreign Policy as it pertains to the isis caliphate. We barely see him any coverage on that. Were missing big stories because they want to focus on all the stuff that involves, as you put it, too many investigations. Neil with the president s call, and vague we can work on things we agree on. Infrastructure, and democrats have expressed hope they can follow progress. I dont see it. Maybe its just the wounds that are still festering from this. What the problem is, were always in an election year. Last year was the midterms. We cant give trump any victories for the mentors another 2020 election is in full swing. 14, 13 democrats declaring. Joe biden not even in the end. Anyone who thinks democrats are going to work with republicans and the president on infrastructure and give the president of victory going into 20209 against the windows back, i dont like its going to happen. Neil i hear you. Joe concha, thehill. Com. Thank you. The white house meanwhile, they wrapping it up. The meeting on trade largely with republicans. The agenda that ensues. Following that on the fallout from that, for a president who seems to have the upper hand. Here comes the five. Dana hello, everyone. I am dana perino with morgan ortagus, juan williams, jesse watters, greg gutfeld. Its 5 00 in new york city and this is the five. They keep turning up on the obama administrations Intelligence Officers after the release of the mila report showed no sign of collusion. G. O. P. Leadership now demanding answers on why the investigation was started in the first place. And when and what the obama team knew regarding russias interference in the 2016 election. Here is senator Lindsey Graham. Did they exonerate clinton because they had a political bias . Did they ignore all the
