susan rice just moments ago agreeing to testify before the house intelligence panel. ned, your initial thoughts on this susan rice bombshell. >> i have been calling for the house intelligence committee to bring her up on the hill to testify under oath. did sue and rice and her deputy ben rhodes follow n $sa protoc protocol -- nsa protocol? i have been advocating this for months. the trump administration and the gop need to go back on this. it could be bigger than watergate. charles: betsy, how do you see it? >> i have seen reports her testimony will be in a closed session. so it won't be as re revalatorys comey's testimony was. how that information gets used. what kind of accountability government officials have. the foreign surveillance intelligence act is up for renewal this year. susan rice's role in this issue is central. charles: we are watching president trump and the first lady as they await president moon from south korea. there is a lot going on in that korean peninsula. charles: from the comey testimony and the thing he said about loretta lynch to susan rice, even if it's behind closed doors, a major step toward discovery of what's going on. >> i have been calling upon the republicans on the hill -- charles: the president is greeting south korea's president moon. a lot to talk about. it's one of the more dangerous areas in the world. it will be a are you si -- willa reciprocal trade policy. i anticipate a great meeting. he's insisting on an america first trade policy and policies that benefit both countries. this one at a time approach has worked well rather than those large agreements where we lose a lot of of our negotiating power. back to you, mark on this bombshell news that greeted us at the top of the hour. >> the f.b.i. brought in the clinton campaign leaders and operatives, didn't put them under oath. they didn't get ahold of the server at the dnc. it was a disaster and a mess. even with the chairman 69 intelligence committee, nor burr. i -- senator burr. i think that these -- this new testimony has got to be in public. she has to be under oath and the hot glare of the spotlight or the american people won't have confidence in the process. charles: representative devin nunez forced this to happen. he issued those three subpoenas. it's all about unmasking. i have a feeling if we dig any deeper into this. but in my mind this is a major victory for the american people. >> i have been writing about fusion gps, the firm that put together that bogus dossier on donald trump. and it was the genesis for the russian collusion fairytale. go after fusion gps and figure it out. and let's have a conversation about why did the clinton foundation get $145 million from board members and there is a lot of questions that need to be answered. so you are right. democrat went down this path thinking russian collusion, et cetera. they opened up a can of worms for themselves with loretta lynch. i hope republicans don't stop, but in fact accelerate. charles: we remember when susan rice was more or less thrown under the bus telling a story that proved to be extra ordinarily false. could there be a chance she received some form of immunity? and do we trust or distrust what she is going to say. >> she is not going to testify in public thus far as far as we know. it highlights so much of the oversight of the intelligence community is done in secret. it raises the question of who watches the watchmen. just because somebody negotiates a deal for immunity doesn't necessarily mean they would be guilty or would be convicted. this is a process. the mueller probe is a process that will take time. any conversations, investigation, testimonies susan rice is involved in are part of the process. we know how this will end up. we want to know what the committee will conclude. but the reality is, it does take time. let the committee do its job, let the investigators do their job and see what happens. charles: at the beginning of the day, the last thing i thought we would be talking about at this very moment is susan rice who has declined quote-unquote invitations for her to say i'll even behind closed doors start to cough up some information, shows that the heat had to be there. she could no longer avoid this, and perhaps other folks, including samantha powers can no longer avoid the mounting proof that something went awry on president obama's watch. >> so lock as this is just the -- so long as this is just the beginning, we need to see samantha power. how about bill clinton. talk about that tarmac visit with loretta lynch. what happened there. we know from years ago with the irs scandal that the obama administration used the deep state against it political enemies. so clearly there is plenty going on. it's very significant she is being brought before this committee, but only if there is a long line behind her of people involved in these scandals. charles: i'm not sure honestly bill clinton honestly remembers what happened object that tarmac. but that's a different story. >> i don't think bill clinton or obama will be called up under oath. but ben rhodes, susan rice's deputy needs to be subpoenaed and brought up to the hill, and they have to have a conversation with him about his role in unmasking. charles: susan rice has agreed to go before the senate intel committee. behind closed doors, but a major step perhaps of getting to the ultimate truth. the question for everyone, let's focus on an elegant solution. the big question, does anyone have one? my next guest says she does and she is next. to folks everywhere whose diabetic... ...nerve pain shoots and burns its way into your day... ...i hear you. when that pain makes simple errands simply unbearable... ...i hear you. i hear you because my dad struggled with this pain. make sure your doctor hears you too. so folks, don't wait. step on up. and talk to your doctor. because you have places to go... ...and people who can't wait for you to get there. if you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands... step on up and talk to your doctor today. charles: evenings are mounting, you can cut it with a knife. senate negotiations under way. a senator made a shocking proposal about a different way to approach tax cuts for the rich. >> what we have is a bill that needs to be fixed. i think from day one most us believed was a starting point. we would get a lot of things scored tonight. of it was an elimination of a lot of taxes. some of them will stay in, one may not. the tax on investment returns for families that make $250,000 a year. that's $172 billion over a 10-year period of time. charles: is that part of an elegant solution to fix this? let's bring in betsy mccoy. that was a shock. i'm not sure how many republicans are joining in on that. it's a major talking point. a handful of rich people. is that the way to win this from a public relations point of view? >> a lot of republicans believe it is. even the surcharge on families earning more than $250,000 a year is not removed. repeal of that odious tax will be part of tax reform in the second reconciliation bill it's a matter of where it's put. whether it's repealed in the first or second reconciliation bill. it's vital to get this economy jump-started. charles: the last five years it's been easy to say let's get rid of this thing. now it's not so simple after all. >> as you say, for 7 years the republicans were saying we are going to repeal it. i believe they voted 60 times to repeal it. if they fail to repeal and replace it in a plausible way, they will be almost dee finding themselves as a party which cannot govern. the investment tax, i was talking to a member of the republican leadership in the senate today. they are taking this seriously. that's where you might see some movement. wee might be coming back and repealing it in a different way or perhaps in a slightly later. >> let's underscore the fact that almost everyone recognizes these taxes have to be removed to make america competitive and attract capital investment into business. charles: why should rich people have more money thank their pockets? how will that help the poor people. >> lower these taxes benefits the middle class, not just the rich people. if you make capital cheaper for companies, they buy more trucks and computers and hire more people to use that equipment and wages go up and employment improves. charles: you carried that big book with you for so many years. everybody says there will still be a deal. how does it look? >> as i see it right now, it's vital to have medicaid reform even though it many been demagogued. but they will continue to pare it down. we have 74 million people on medicaid. charles: you think they pare it down. >> that seems to be what the senate wants to do. when the senate bill and house bill are combined in conference you will see more movement again. there will be tax credits for lower income people to buy health insurance. most obamacare taxes will be repealed. and the individual mandate and the job killing employer mandate gone. charles: they just slipped in a de facto mandate a couple days ago. president trump starting a twitter firestorm today. is it taking away from the agenda or is it the only way he can beat the swamp. when you brush or floss you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse. help stop the journey of gum disease. try new parodontax toothpaste. ♪ at crowne plaza we know business travel isn't just business. there's this.

>> i think there is more we can do to protect things down at the border itself. the president has talked about a wall. we need to make sur sure we have apreppiality -- appropriate surveillance down there. i have communities in my district that were complaining, they wanted to enforce the law and they were not getting help from the federal government. we have flipped that around. charles: congressman bradley byrne thank you, we applaud you. this is a long time coming. i hope that next steps happen faster. >> good to be with you. charles: bringing in our panel. jeff, your initial thoughts, being from one of those border states. >> well, this is a great day for america. this was something that donald trump promised many times on the campaign trail. as the law and order candidate, i will tell you, that this very directly brought in a lot of people, voting for him, from the other side too, the democratic party has proven they do not wish to away the rule of law, and as they vote for sanctuary cities and these things. but i was with president trump as we traveled around with jamiel shaw jr. sr., and he would speak at rallies about his son who died in his arms who was killed at the hands of an illegal alien, who was released that same day. and kate steinle. these things should not happen, these laws should have been on the books a while ago, any law maker that voted against these laws, needs to be out of office. charles: have you representative gutierrez saying that is a war against mexicans. mhe is inflaming this situation. >> he should be ashamed. this is why trump got elected, so many americans believe this wrong for people to be here illegally. it is wrong for cities like chicago to protect them. and you combine these bills with trump's travel ban, it is wrong for people to -- for us to let people into this country who want to do us harm. this is a good day for president trump. >> speaking of which, at this moment, trump just tweeted in regard to this, i think we have the tweet, is it ready? good news, out of the house, with the passing of no sanctuary for criminal act, hopefully senate will follow. your thoughts on this? >> i have been doing reporting on this, i am skeptical this will get through the senate. charles: really? >> try too get this through in 2015, they have to get 60 senators to get through this, even if all republicans vote for it, they have to peel off a lot of democrats. charles: real quick, on case law, 24 democrats did vote yes. >> it is possible, that some will vote yes. but trump is president. schumer will do what he can. i think that any democrats who votes for a trump tough on immigration law will have a hard time with the base. i would caution skepticism. and kate's law does not go as far as 2015 version did. one thing trump wanted were 5 year mandatory minimum sentences for people convicted of illegalry reentering the country, that is something that president could still work ongoing forward. i spoke with a guy at heritage, he said he hopes that republicans look for policy change like that right now this might not be as huge of a game changer as some are thinking. charles: we'll celebrate tonight, if you are right, then shame on the democrats in senate. thank you very much. >> one heck of a day in the stock market, major averages ended in the red, they were ended in the red, they were all over the place, there were glimmers of hope, next. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench?

president trump's travel order are going into effect. rick, an amazing victory in supreme court. we're now implementing it. a tense situation for many. the krt critics are out there, i think it will prove itself to be a smart strategy. >> absolutely. this has been way overblown by the media. this is a 90 day halt. so we can ensure. we have to remember this is why president trump decided to push this. we want to insur to ensure that process from vetting people from the 6 countries is a good process affecting how we vet for a bunch of other visas, the state department must reform, they have been slow to reform. you have to remember, first year foreign service officers be first tour is on the visa desk at our embassies. they are young. they are given you know, guidelines on who to accept and what kind of questions to ask. but this is a process that we have to get right. one time we get it wrong, we could have a national security crisis. i think 90 day reprieve is absolutely something that we should do regularly actually. charles: that is a great idea. the thing, jesse, it will -- always hard to prove, say we prevented a certain amount of deaths or terrorist actions. meanwhile they will harp on in-laws come in but not grandmas. >> right now they do have a stipulation, cousins, inlaws, some grandparents, you must have close personalitieses person ties, and/or a university or a

convicted of such, there is a record of this. we must ensure we're not lets people fly through the gate as president trump is keeping his campaign promise. >> i was going to add, you know, we know the facts show that those who over stay their visa, and try to bury into our system, illegally, are the people who have relatives here. people who you know have brothers and sisters, who want to be here. the foreign service officers who are in charge of trying to figure out who to let in and who not to, one of the criteria they use is, do you have a reason to go back to your home country. do have you somebody else you are supposed to care for? do you have financial responsibility at home country. that is not only thing we should look for, we have to reform this process, taking this pause is rational. charles: let me ask, shifting gears. critic have panned this as racist, no one talking about attorney general jeff sessions and his war going, to fighting against hate speech and race crimes. >> trump administration and department of justice are commitd to reducing violent crimes and hate crimes and making america safe. as you know hate crimes are often precursors to violent crimes are or violence crimes, no person should have to pee fear being attacked because of who they are, what they believe or how they worship, i pledge you to as long as i'm attorney general of this department of the justice, we will continue to protect civil rights of all americans. charles: rick. we never hear about this in the media. >> you know, this is where i part ways. all crime is hate to me, i am against hate crimes it sounds pc. if you hit me, you that is a crime, whether or not i am gay or handicap or black or white or just a old straight white guy. if you hit me, it is wrong, i don't understand why we have to have a second classification that something how says, because you had hate in your heart and you hit me that worse? all crime is hate. charles: real quick, jess sne. >jesse? >> attorney general jeff sessions was accused of being racist when confirmed. there may be something within him to show he is not tolerates hate, i do agree with rick in many ways, he is also going after gangs at ms-13. and visa over stayers many have committed crimes. i'm supportive of any method he has to do to resolve the crime problem, we're all tired of being called a racist because here against illegals committing crimes. >> enforce the law, it is already on the book. charles: you know, you are right. i think that there might be a psychological element to this. when you harm someone because of who they are, it sends a threat -- >> it is a slippery slope. charles: as opposed. >> a slippery slope. >> it is it as opposed to knocking you head for your paycheck. >> they hate you because you wealthy, seriously, all crime is hate, whatever the motivation. regardless of who i am. charles: no argument from me, you are right, a crime is a crime, violence crimes we have been too soft on. again, you are two of the best, i appreciate. >> you thank you, very much, charles. >> thank you. charles: dog the bounty hunter is joining us with his take on this epidemic of

changed law from felony to a misdemeanor, then you wonder where there is an epidemic. >> amazing, california passed prop 47 and 57. possession of her heroin is a misdemeanor, if you smash-and-grab that is a felony or maybe two, you go to jail to make a bond. nowadays it free. so it is incredible that is why there is so much. there is no deterrent. charles: you just -- even though it's california, you have to marvel at the fact they did not think there would be a cause and effect once they gave the green light to this. >> that is what the senators said, that is in new jersey. it is worse. that is what new jersey senator told me. that when they passed law in new jersey in january, they had no -- they were duped, they were not told this would happen. this is right. i want to believe and take the high road, and say they had no idea, repercussion, if we say that, but now we know, we need to add amendments, drop that law or change it back. charles: your president of national bail bond association, tell us about your work regarding this bail reform, have you been all over the country, fighting against this. >> well, actually my wife beth chapman is president, she will kill me for title. charles: tell her i said hello. >> i will, i am just the waterboy. we went to new jersey with that law since january. now what happens there is, you don't get a bond any more, you don't have to post bond, if you steal someone's car, the cops pick you up, take you on the station, take you're picture, give you a summons. that is it. charles: that is it. >> the deterrent of having to use a bail bond, paying 10%, being on you know the federal law said bail is a continuance of the original imprisonment. so that is all gone. california almost did it two weeks ago. the group of bail bonds men, all of us, i think 37-36 we won. now, there is a senator that had an exact companion bill coming up next week for a vote again. let me tell you, california is 1849, when california had gold rush. california right now, if they pass that bill, is getting ready to have the crime rush. bail bonds is there for a deterrent. if you do the crime, you do the time. the word on the street in jersey, if you do the crime, you do no time. i cannot this is unbelievable. the idea was that minorities were left in jail for months at a time waiting to go to court because they could not afford 10% of bail, this is fake news. that is a matter of fact a lie. that is not happening. but, the pretrial services, i have figures, i have some good figures here, it could cost -- already cost new jersey $47 million, it could cost california in the billions of dollars. but people are waking up because like you said, you done know about it. -- you didn't know about it no one here knew. people of state of california and new jersey, had no idea what is going on. as they find out, that is when they change. charles: i have to tell you, all to in name of political correctness, they will unleash a crime wave on the very people they purport to save in the first place. well, thank you so much, dog, i hope you come back soon. always admired your work, these are two critical issues, we have to set them
