president is what is the penalty? ainsley: time is of the essence. steve: sure. ainsley: if president obama had stepped in earlier where would we be now? would he be living a full life with his family and two other siblings? he was 22 years old. as a parent, could you imagine what they are going through? steve: and not hearing from them. ainsley: not hearing from them 17 months. brian: didn t know he was in a coma. ainsley: did you hear the video carrying him off the plane. no signs of understanding any language. didn t respond to any verbal commands. suffered severe neurological injury and vegetative state. brian: said he had a sense of peace about him when he got home as if he realized he was home. steve: what do you think the united states should do? go in there and bomb them? should there be a decapitation strike where you send some team in after the guy who runs that country or is there something else? we would love to hear from you, friends@foxnews.com or facebook us or tweet us
we have former cia officer joins us from phoenix, arizona where, brian, what s the temperature this morning in phoenix? i believe we are at a very cool 94. so yes, chilly. steve: let s talk about how people should be skeptical about anonymous sources. how would you vet your news source like you would as a cia agent? what we would ask, basically five different kinds of questions. the first is identity. can the individual confirm who they are and where they work? which then feeds into the second, access. do they have or should they have could they have a reason to have the information that they claim to have? is it, you know, something that they directly have and control? or secondly are they using subsources. that s the next piece we would ask. the third and i think very important is motivation. volunteers when they come to former intelligence officers such as myself, they have all kinds of different motivations for doing that so ego, revenge, money. understanding why people are
accountable for these children. that has to change and that will be part of my testimony today. the interviews i submit as testimony are going to be very powerful. you are going to be hearing it right from these kids who come over as unaccompanied minors. it s not me and not another congressman giving stories. these are right out of the mouths of these kids. brian: to continue, what other message do you have for what else are we going to hear today if we were able to pick up your entire testimony? well, i m going to obviously praise congressman peter king for following through on his promise to follow through on bringing the committee here to long island. president trump following through on his commitment to eradicating gangs and talk about unaccompanied minor program and big thing for me is speaking about interviews and i will be discussing two of the interviews but i will be submitting ten of them in my submitted testimony. brian: what sticks out with me in the conversations wit

is trying to help exobama staffers live in a trump world. seriously? steve: i guess so. brian: they look so happy. steve: special counsel investigating russia hired getting witnesses apparently to turn on their friends. what could that mean for the investigation? all rise, judge nawnts is here with jillian and is he coming up next. who are you who who, who who? who are you l expenses. he s ok! unitedhealthcare
