white house that mr. trump is not a target of the michael cohen investigation. >> i'm undocumented. you want to deport an undocumented person. start with me. ♪ i say ♪ have a nice day ♪ brian: congratulations to hall of famers bon jovi we know they watch once in a while. ainsley: how do you know that. brian: they used to watch. steve: he said like "the today show" but they had been up all night drinking. brian: that's before ainsley joined us. ainsley: happy friday, everyone. we made it. steve: do you know what today is 4/20 day. today is weed day. this is the day that marks, there are many stories about how it became -- how pot became known as 4/20. presumed out in california on the 20th day at april 4:20 in the afternoon a bunch of guys came up and that's when it became 4:20. brian: are you worried about how much he knows about pot day? are we concerned about what's going on here? ainsley: i remember people in high school saying some of the kids were going to skip school because it's 4/20. brian: we do not support that. ainsley: no. we do not support that. steve: if you light up, you might go to jail because it is a federal -- it's against federal law. brian: if you are, turn yourself in. steve: you are a regular mitt romney. deport yourself. anyway, thank you very much for joining us. we start with a fox news alert 6:00 here in new york city. no collusion, no obstruction of justice. the president sounding off in a newly released classified memos from his 2017 meetings with fired fbi director documents tell all of us. >> griff jenkins is live in washington. hey, griff. >> james comey was quite the note taker, 1 15 pages of seven memos. the president wasted no time taking to twitter saying the memos just out clearly show there was no collusion and no obstruction. he leaves classified information. wow, the witch-hunt continue. among the new details, comey writes about a conversation he had with the president where he said the president wanted to get tout and supported investigate you had any wrongdoing. comey said if there was some satellite note, i took this to mean some associate his or campaign that did something it would be good to find out but that he hadn't done anything and hopes i would find a way to get out that we weren't investigating him. now, the chairman of the house's oversight judiciary and intelligence committees, who requested these memos, issued a joint statement, saying, quote: these memos show the president made clearing clear he wanted allegations of collusion, coordination and conspiracy between his campaign and russia fully investigated. but, house minority leader nancy pelosi, she disagreed. tweeting the release of the memos are further proof of the president's contempt for the rule of law. other details, guys, comey addresses the issue of loyalty to the president and of course leaking. guys? steve: thanks, griff. a lot of this stuff we have heard details about. nonetheless, now that we have finally seen them, it's interesting because mr. comey said that he leaked these memos to a friend to leak to the newspapers to start the special counsel. when you look at the memos that have been released, do they show collusion? do they show obstruction of justice? no. and no. brian: fascinating to see down there in black in white in comey's words the president saying listen, if someone did something, one of my satellites, go pursue that. and why he just wanted to let everybody know that he is not under investigation. and he also believes the fact that he was played into the fact that originally the house didn't pass the repeal of obamacare. because looked like weakened executives. also something to point out, he was worried about andy mccabe's loyalty. he said i was pretty tough on him during the campaign. i talked about his wife and the donation she got. he said don't worry about it. when it comes to the fbi we check our biases at the door. not true. maybe he thought it was true, but it turned out not to be true. ainsley: when you read these, pretty easy to read. you can find them on line. four of them are classified and partly redacted. it's just 15 pages. there were three meetings that he took notes. one was at trump tower. two were at the white house. he took notes with his meeting with reince priebus and three phone calls with the president. now, what i got from it, the president never spent the night there in russia because you know about that dirty dossier. brian: find that out. by the way i have been thinking about what you told me in the trump tower, he said i didn't even spend the night there i showered and put my tux on. ainsley: first memo you read about comey going to trump tower and telling the president about the dirty dossier. president said oh my word. my wife is going to hear about this. that doesn't look good. that never happened there were no prostitutes. and then you later, on another meeting. he tells comey he said by the way, about that dossier you told me about. my people reminded me, we never even spent the night. we got on the plane immediately after the pageant and came home. steve: donald trump was told by comey you are not under investigation and not looking knew. can you tell people that? can you tell the public? he said no. one of the other things, this is so ironic that we have seen that he did release these various memos to his pal that leaked him. he said this, in the memo, mr. comey did. i explained that i could counts -- he could count on me to always tell him the truth. i said i don't do sneaky things. i don't leak. i don't do weevil. ainsley: did you tell the president i don't leak? what did he tell george stephanopoulos? that he leaked. steve: what did he say to jake tapper last night about these classified memos? listen. >> i know when i created some of them they were classified but i don't know how many of that group. >> you say you did this. you testified that you did this to try to force the creation of a special counsel. why? why would a special counsel be needed? why would the department of justice and fbi not be able to continue to do the job? >> because i thought that the department, as currently supervised, would not be aggressive enough to go serve process to get the tapes. >> because jeff sessions is too weak? >> he had recused himself. >> rod rosenstein was too weak. >> new attorney general i didn't have confidence in given what i had seen around my firing. so i thought something has to be done. because there were lots of discussions in public then about appointing a special counsel. brian: jake tapper pressed him, you just said in an interview interview i think with george stephanopoulos about the president -- the russians having something on him. why would you say that's possible? >> he said it's possible. is it likely? no. i thought it would be good if i said it's possible. would you do you think it's possible. steve: that's one of those weasel words. we're going to be talking about this all morning long. also, the ig at the department of justice has sent a criminal referral to the -- rather, the u.s. attorney in washington, d.c. to see whether or not they want to prosecute andrew mccabe for breaking all the rules and maybe a bunch of laws. brian: that is pretty serious. how embarrassing is that for james comey to come out holier than now and talk about how the fbi doesn't do any of this. doesn't have any biases. they don't leak. they check it at the door. you have peter strzok he was finally asked about peter strzok yesterday and andy mccabe proving they have biases, maybe colluding together to try to uppend donald trump. ainsley: how about the prior head of the fbi is writing a book about this and going on every network and what is happening on the fbi certain. brian: andy mccabe has a book deal now. steve: by the way andy mccabe is invited to come on the show and james comey any time. it's a fox news alert and take to you florida. ainsley: deadly ambush two. florida sheriff's deputies sitting in a chinese restaurant. they were ambushed. they were gunned down in broad daylight through that restaurant window. steve: it's in trenton, florida, about two hours north of tampa. they had gone into the ace china restaurant and for some reason a shooter walked up to the building, fired through the window and killed those two men. sergeant rasmramirez. and lindsey. when they got to the restaurant they found the shooter dead outside. they have not released why he died. there is no apparent motive. brian: you don't become a cop to become rich. you do it because you want to give back and protect. and suddenly that message is not getting through. they are becoming more targets than being saluted throughout society that point did not allude gilchrist county sheriff bobby schultz. >> i knew both of them personally. i can sit here in front of all of you and tell you that i loved them. what do you expect happens when you demonize law enforcement? the only thing these men were guilty of was wanting to protect you and me. ainsley: the attorney general down in florida pam bondy she tweeted about it last night and so did the president saying thoughts and prayers with those families. they put on uniforms and say goodbye and g. one was 30 and one was 25. brian: one was a father of two. steve: in the year 2018 and we're just up to the 20th day of april, 22 men and women of law enforcement have been killed by non-accidental gunfire in the united states of america. brian: we're coming to the 2017 totals already and we are just in april. all right, 10 minutes after the top of the hour. jillian, so much news going on today. jillian: a lot of news. good morning to you guys and to you at home as well a fox news alert. grandmother now behind bars. miles from the u.s. mexico border ending a nationwide manhattan hunt she has been on the run since march accused of killing her husband in anyone society and woman in florida to steal her spotted her car and called police. also breaking right now, north and south korea hotline killing. south korean president moon they are expected to discuss the denuclearization of pyongyang. a separate meeting between kim and president trump is anticipated for may or early june. secretary of state nominee mike pompeo now hats backing of at least one democrat. north dakota senator heidi heitcamp committing to voting in favor of the former cia director. she is facing a tough re-election campaign in a state president trump won by double digits. the foreign relations committee will vote on supporting pompeo on monday. a final confirmation vote is expected soon. graduates at the u.s. naval academy are getting a farewell address from the commander-in-chief. >> hip hip. >> hooray. jillian: president trump saying it's his great honor and pleasure to give this year's commencement speech. the graduation is on may 25th in annapolis, maryland. steve: fantastic. i love it when they throw the hats. brian: do they get them back?

here to weigh in is former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york andrew mccarthy joins us via skype. andy, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: okay. i'm puzzled. i thought comey leaked those memos to his friends so that would start the special counsel but there is nothing in there that proves collusion or any sort of obstructions of justice. >> steve, i can understand the president having this visceral need to react. i actually think he is making a stroo teenage jik mistake for hitting comey for being dishonest and lying. these members are actually his best defense the charges that have been made up until now. they really do show. he had no problem with the russia investigation proceeding. he wanted to be clear that he was not a suspect and hadn't done anything to be a suspect. if he let's these things stand for himself, he will be fine. steve: can you tell subject of the investigation he said can't do that. he was frustrated. >> he was frustrated. and the country should be frustrated as well. i say this as a law enforcement person because i always think of myself that way. who has had to learn over time that, you know, sometimes there is more important things that your little case or your little prosecution. the job of being president of the united states is the most important job that we have in this government. and i don't think anyone should have a problem with the idea that the president can be investigated, the president is not above the law as long as have you strong evidence that the president has done something corrupt. if you don't, then you shouldn't have a special counsel investigation and you shouldn't make the president govern under a cloud. that's what's going on for a year and a half. >> rod rosenstein toll the president when he was in the oval office last week that he was not the subject of the investigation. any investigation. meanwhile, the department of justice inspector general has handed over to the u.s. attorney in washington, d.c. his report and suggests criminal referral for andy mccabe because andy mccabe broke a bunch of rules and maybe some laws when he was the deputy at the fbi. what do you think about that? >> well, it looks to me like a very stron false statement ca. it looks like inspector general michael horowitz has done a comprehensive job interviewing the witnesses and going through all of mccabe's assertions and, you know, showing basically how he first denied it and then basically changed his version of events. it looks like a very strong case to me. >> since it's a strong case, does that mean they will prosecute him? >> i think it's likely. it's not my place. i guess, to give president trump advice, but i really wish he would stop tweeting about the case because it looks very strong and what he is doing is giving mccabe probably the only defense mccabe will have, which is to claim that his prosecution is political and it's being driven by the president. when you read the inspector general report, it shows very clearly that he was dishonest. in fact, at one point, he leaks this information himself to the "wall street journal" and then calls up the heads of the fbi in washington and new york to give them a hard time about the leak that he caused. steve: andy, you can't make it up. thank you very much for joining us. right back. >> thanks. i'm very proud of the fact that i served. i was a c130 mechanic in the corps, so i'm not happy unless my hands are dirty. between running a business and four kids, we're busy. auto insurance, homeowner's insurance, life insurance policies. knowing that usaa will always have my back... that's just one less thing you have to worry about. i couldn't imagine going anywhere else. they're like a friend of the family. we are the cochran family, and we'll be usaa members for life. save by bundling usaa home and auto insurance. get a quote today. more and more people have discovered something strong... ...dependable... ...long lasting. they found themselves in a chevy truck. and now, you can too. see for yourself why chevrolet is the most awarded and fastest growing brand the last four years overall. get a total value of over eleven thousand five hundred dollars on this silverado all star when you finance with gm financial. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. ♪ most people come to la with big dreams. ♪ we came with big appetites. with expedia, you could book a flight, hotel, car, and activity all in one place. ♪ from the moment you met you wantecomfort and protection that's why pampers swaddlers is the #1 choice of hospitals to wrap your baby in blanket-like softness so all they feel is love pampers swaddlers you know what's not awesome?

>> as far as i have heard, everyone is supposed to make complete recoveries. she had some pretty extensive burns as did the husband. the son happened to be on the other side of the house he had minor injuries. ainsley: how about you?

janice: nope. i have revealed the name to you guys during commercial breaks but i will not do that to america. ainsley: did you see that person yesterday and did they know? janice: any didn't know. but they still looked grumpy. steve: we will not reveal the name because just like james comey we are not leakers. brian: we are going to call a professor at nyu and he is going to leak it. janice: if yoit. ainsley: if you didn't know someone came across her in the hallway and said i hate this weather. and she said. janice: how about good morning? brian: people write in and get it, can we confirm it? janice: no. my lips are sealed. ainsley: it was brian. [laughter] steve: meanwhile, one democrat in the senate backing secretary of state. are the democrats playing politics with our national security and jeopardizing talks with north korea. we will talk about that. brian: geraldo rivera is here. he went to law school. tomi lahren didn't but could have. newt gingrich will be here. he has got opinions. ♪ your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. but as it grew bigger and bigger,ness. it took a whole lot more. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. and that 2% cash back adds up to thousands of dollars each year... so i can keep growing my business in big leaps! what's in your wallet? brian: for the first time in over 100 years a secretary of state nominee could get an unfavorable vote in the foreign relations any. and it's a guy that's imminently qualified. few deny. mike pompeo. first in his class at west point. top in his class in ivy league education. here to discuss what he is up against as his vote comes up monday, national security analyst and senior fellow with the hudson institute rebeccah heinrichs. i find this embarrassing, do you? >> it's embarrassing and shameful. two on that committee shaheen and kaine voted favorably for pompeo to be the director of the cia. that was good enough for him and now they are going to vote against him to be secretary of state in the middle of this high stakes diplomatic initiative that the president is leading? with north korea to try to denuclearize north korea. it is shameful. it's amazing. this is the height of playing politics with national security. brian: a lot of the people say if you want to get it passed when it goes to the body. senate body. get a democrat to come over and one has. heidi heitcamp in trouble as she tries to get six more years out of the people of north dakota dakota as a democrat. pompeo during nomination process and during meeting in march that he is committed to empowering the diplomats in state so they can do their job of answering america's interest. that's really the truth. i'm sure john kerry wasn't top on lindsey graham's list. he says he is worthy as was hillary clinton controversial but worthy. so they were qualified. that's not the case here. and some, including -- some are pointing fingers at rand paul. why? >> well, rand paul is going to vote against him. is he a civil libertarian. at least is he consistent. he has always opposed porp. the problem i have are the democrats who voted for him as director of the cia and turn around and vote against him as secretary of state. it's not just secretary of state right now in the middle of this north korea diplomatic issue n.i.v. pompeo was just in north korea speaking with kim jong un. he has the president of the united states' trust. this is what we need. his record is unassailable. not only should pompeo become service is, he should do so overwhelmingly with bipartisan support. brian: i don't give rand paul a pass. he is voted to represent the republican party. the people would probably go for mike pompeo. it's not about him. it's about the country. and that to me is selfish. the president is optimistic mike pompeo can win him over one-on-one. thanks so much. rebeccah heinrichs, i appreciate it? >> thanks. brian: mark levin is going to be here. is he fired up about the james comey book tour that never ends. plus, pay our final respects to barbara bush over the next few days. raach chevrolet campos duffy says we can learn a lot from the bushes, their extraordinary marriage and what they did as parents. >> thousands gathering in houston tomorrow for the funeral of former first lady barbara bush. ainsley: they join former president george h.w. bush as he celebrates the love of his life for 73 years. steve: joining success rachel campos-duffy. >> thanks for having me here this morning. good morning. steve: just like your family, they were a family dedicated to public service their whole lives. >> right. you know, it's been interesting. all my friends, my sister. so many people have been texting me with, you know, sending me articles about their love story. and there really is a hunger, i think, in the country to hear about happy, joyful, long marriages. i think we need to hear it. it gives us hope that true love really exists and happy marriages are possible there are secrets. brian: here is what strikes me about what you have balance. you have a career and balance. or have you this public life. you have family. so you can do both. that's what struck me about this. >> can you do both. ainsley, when you talk about the secrets, i looked at the secrets of what i thought the bush marriage was about. one is they had a great sense of humor. the other was prayer. they talked about how every night they prayed together. steve: out loud. >> the other thing they did was very vocal about sharing their love with each other. they shared their love stories with their children. they shared their love letters with america. they talked about their love. and, they said even that they argued at night like who loved each other more. and that was beautiful. but, also, she is famous for saying what happens in your house is more important than what happens in the white house. it's really a very profound. sounds like a catchphrase for a politician. very profound. really talks about the prime is i of marriage, which is the foundation of really strong family. and boy do we need strong families. steve: no kidding. >> how many problems in our country could be strong marriages lead no strong family. steve: you mentioned love letters. we shared couple days ago one that was shared by the george herbert walker bush library. he is writing to her in 1943. he write i love you, precious, with all my heart. and to know that you love me means my life. how often i have thought about the immeasurable joy that will be ours some day. that was way back in 1943. >> and we need to hear these letters. we need to hear about this love story because today we have 40% divorce rates. a lot of people aren't seeing that example even in pop culture. we live in a hookup culture. a meaningless hookup culture. steve: who writes letter. here is a love text from 2018. >> you can take a picture of a text. the point is they are expressing their love. they are not hiding it. sharing it with our country. give people hope that really true love exists that marriage can be happy and joyful. to the very end they said they held hands to the very end. brian: i feel bad for president bush because it's going to be so tough these next knew days especially from here on out. >> he said don't feel bad for us. worry about something else. we had a great life together. is he so grateful and thankful for the life he had with her. boy our country needs to see. ainsley: she says she wasn't scared to die she knew she was going to heaven. steve: thank you so much. >> thank you. steve: coming up on friday telecast. geraldo rivera is going to join us because it's friday. tomi lahren and steve hilton all coming up live. ainsley: one high school signing day. they are signerring up for work, not college. they are going to join us live ♪ that's what i want ♪ that's what i want ♪ that's what i want ♪ that's what i want ♪ we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you?

i don't think so. steve: this comes as the department of justice has released the former fbi director's memos to congress. which promptly leaked them to the press. ainsley: that's right. we all have a copy. all 15 pages right here in our hands this morning. griff jenkins is live in washington breaking it down for us, griff? >> we learned three things here. james comey was quite the note taker, number two, comey talked about not leaking while he and others were leaking. number three, he said the president would have known the president was not under investigation and supported any wrongdoing by his team. one quote from march, comey writes the president, quote said that if there was some satellite note i took this to mean some associate of his or his campaign that did something, it would be good to find out. but that he hadn't done anything and hoped i would find a way to get out that we weren't investigating him. now, president trump took to twitter after reading the memos saying, quote: this clearly shows there was no collusion and no obstruction. also, he leaked classified information, wow. will the witch huntington continue? now, the chairman of the house committee's oversight intelligence and judiciary who requested these memos issued a joint statement saying this shows the president made clear he wanted allegations of collusion, coordination and conspiracy between his campaign and russia fully investigated. but, house minority leader nancy pelosi disagreed tweeting the release of the memos are further proof of the president's contempt for the rule of law. there is some other nuggets in here too, ainsley. comey addresses the president's need for loyalty, the dossier and pursuing those leakers. guys? steve: griff, thank you very much. brian led with that tweet this morning about michael flynn, these released memos, the 15 pages last night, it made it very clear in the conversation with james comey, james comey heard the president, especially express doubt in michael flynn. and it goes back to the fact that the president was having lunch, apparently with theresa may, the prime minister of great britain, and he thanked her, the president did, for being the first person to call after he won the presidency. and then michael flynn pipes up and goes in the back of the room and goes by the way, putin called us six days ago. and he goes what do you mean he called us six days ago? you never told me about that. six days is too long to wait to return a phone call. and so that's why the president said i got doubts about the judgment of michael flynn. brian: to me, that's a small thing. overall the reason why the president even brought it up to james comey to begin with is because the they an instant bond. he was one of the few guys that could tell the president flat out, you're wrong, don't tweet. this not saying the president wouldn't listen to it they would have really been a successful pairing. steve: michael flynn? brian: i'm convinced they would have been great. ainsley: read these memos, four of them are classified, partly redacted. there is a lot of black you can see of things marked out. steve: that's right. ainsley: 15 pages. three meetings, one at trump tower between comey and the president. two at the white house. then there is a memo about him meeting with reince priebus at the white house. three phone calls he took photos from, too, when he talked to the president. steve: when he was talking to reince and comey was there he asked if being surveilled under fisa. the answer is redacted in this mommy so we don't know. comey told the president i don't do sneaky things. i don't leak. i don't do weevi do weasel move. ainsley: comey wrote that he told he didn't leak but told george stephanopoulos on sunday did he leak. brian: he had no choice. steve: it's possible. he uses that a lot these days as he sells his book. listen to this. >> what you are asking about now is why did i say what i said when people asked me whether i thought it was possible that the russians had derogatory information on president trump? i think it's unlikely but i think it's possible. brian: jake tapper did a good job asking questions. the peter strzok lisa page problem. guess who talked to michael flynn? peter strzok. guess to talked to hillary clinton? peter strzok. guess who was kicked off the robert mueller probe a few days after it happened. peter strzok when the ig report revealed that both he and lisa page not only having affair w vehemently anti-trump which led to implication frls their texts that they possibly had a plot in place. and the instinct of president trump are strong. is he worried about mccabe. he says at one point, you know, he said what can you tell us about mccabe? does he have a entice against me? i was pretty tough on him during the election process, he said, no, when he goes in that room. we all check our biases, however, he said had he had a chance to do it all over again, i'm sure he would have told his wife, got all that money from terry mcauliff's group, not to run. that's for state office. ainsley: news that broke last night doj inspector general is send ago criminal referral for andy mccabe. which means he went over all the information, the ig did. he says that andy mccabe broke the law. but it's up to this d.c. attorney to charge him. brian brian fascinating about the mccabe situation because mccabe said he was given permission to talk to the "wall street journal" but then he blamed somebody else for leaking. and comey says i never gave anyone permission ever. he said look me in the eye, listen to me closely, i never gave anyone permission to leak to anybody. so, they are at each other's throat. they both can't be right. they both can be wrong. steve: somebody is telling a lie, you would think. nonetheless, you know, over the last seven minutes, we have been talking nonstop about what's going on. ultimately, the american people want answers and they are frustrated over what's going on, according to andy mccarthy, former u.s. attorney just about an hour ago right here on the show. >> i think the country should be frustrated as well. and i say this as a law enforcement person. i don't think anyone should have a problem with the idea that the president can be investigated, the president is not above the law. as long as you have strong evidence that the president has done something corrupt. but if you don't, then you shouldn't have a special counsel investigation. and you shouldn't make the president govern under a cloud. that's what's going on for a year and a half. steve: reaction from republicans on capitol hill, in looking at these memos that were promptly leaked to the associated press last night, it completely vindicates the president, shows there was no collusion, and there was no obstruction of justice according to mr. comey's own memo. brian: alright. but there are democrats who feel differently. one of the things that emerged out of, this the president was complicating the white house has he fairs favorably to mar-a-lago. the rumor leaked out he called it a dump. obviously it's an estate. ainsley: mar-a-lago was prettier than the white house. if you read those memos he talked about how luxurious the white house was. brian: right. absolutely. ainsley: he never spent the night in russia, too. remember the dossier claimed he did. brian: he showered in the suite. ainsley: showered and changed into a tux after the pageant. jillian: massive all of new york city. brian: it is a block, right?

>> well, the governor can deflect all he wants, but the fact is this isn't about racism. this isn't about immigration. this is about safety. mayors of city, we don't have the luxury of playing politics,s we have to keep our citizens safe. these policies of the governor and some of these wild eyed people in sacramento trying to push down our throats has nothing to do with safety. it has to do with politics. >> loss los alamitos. >> went out strongly against sb 54. i started mayor's for safe cities, pushing back gips this whole sanctuary state policy it's not los alamitos alone. it's ridiculous and frightening. ainsley: what are you hearing from your constituents? >> i'm hearing people really care about this problem. they don't want ms-13 gang members being released into their communities since the last 8 months. release to the california communities. that didn't have to happen. that's very dangerous. >> here is what the president tweeted. rule of law and supporting our lawsuit against california's illegal and con unconstitutional sanctuary policies. california's dangerous policies release violent policies back in our communities and putting all americans at risk. everyone in california is liberal and wants this to happen number one. and number two is there is a fearful -- there is a fear among politicians if you come down strong against illegal immigrants you are anti-hispanic. >> i think that's the tactic of the left all the time. any time they seem to be losing the argument they scream racism. frankly, this is just common sense. this is not about racism. this is not targeting people that are here in the country with questionable status. in the prison system being released back into the community. rather than doing that we would prefer that the local governments work with ice and the federal government and try to do anything they can to keep ms-13 gang members and other dangerous people from going back into the communities if they don't have to. ainsley: have you this one person in the media, that said something like no one has ever heard of ms-13 unless you watch fox news. you have your governor saying that fox news is exploiting this issue. but i lived in texas. you live in southern california. you know ms-13. that was in our newscast almost every day. a story of what one of the gang men's had don member had de and how violent they were. people in san francisco and new york forget there is a whole country in between those cities. >> frankly, i think that most people that are pushing these kind of policies are really doing this because they don't like president trump. they don't like his policies and don't care how dangerous or ridiculous it is. they want to push back against that and make a stand. and i don't think we have the luxury of playing politics with when people's lives are at stake. brian: i agree. i think you are doing the right thing. what people don't understand is democrats and republicans really for the most part agree on this. except for certain section of people who believe that the liberal policies are better for america. and it's not undocumented. it's illegal. that's a difference. bill wells, thanks so much. ainsley: thank you so much. brian: one high school giving new meaning for signing day. they are signing students up for work instead of college. ainsley: those guys who landed a job are going to join us next. hey, guys. ♪ i love to work at nothing all day ♪ and i've been taking care of business ♪ talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it. you know what's not awesome?

>> well, you know, with skilled labor, getting the head start in high school is key because understanding what that career does and what you will be doing in that career, and getting that jump start, as students earn certifications before they even graduate high school, so they are halfway there, and this is just a great start. and as mike rowe says, you know, understanding and valuing that is a great opportunity in itsself. steve: absolutely. all right. mac and timmy and dominic, congratulations and good luck to you. >> thank you. steve: that is terrific. all right. 7:28 here in new york city now. james comey's media blitz show nothing signs of slowing down. mark levin is all fired up about that. wait until you hear what he has to say next. and carrie underwood opening um for the first time about that awful fall at her house. the brand new interview coming up. ♪ of his whole world ♪ and beautiful, wonderful ♪ perfect american girl ♪ ♪ no changing who i am steve: well, we have got a big announcement, we are in a southern state of mind because next friday a week from today, we will be live in ainsley's alma mater the university of southern california, usc. ainsley: i'm so excited. we will be meeting with them talking with them in front of the library. we have a ton of guests lined up. we have trey gowdy and tim scott. they wrote that book together. we have the football coach we are going to be interviewing. cocky who is our mascot and hopefully his family will be there. steve: university of southern california live from there. i did it again. ainsley: the other usc. the real usc. steve: southern carolina. south carolina. i'm going to stop talking. brian has a great interview with mark levin. brian: mark levin is with us from his lovely crtv studios. great to see you this morning. >> you too, brian, thank you. brian: i know you are 3u6r7d up for sunday. this has been a wild week. roll out of the james comey series of interviews and books, mark, i don't remember anything blowing um on a person like this book is blowing up on him. we have the news relatively new we are just finding out about. that's that andy mccabe has a criminal referral from the inspector general for lying under oath three times on four separate occasions. so, this is all happening. meanwhile, he is denying a lot of things that comey said about him. what's this book tour doing for comey and this investigation? >> well, comey is like a bad rash. you know, he just won't go away. and, he is appearing on all these programs and i expect he will be appearing on airport radar and sonograms very shortly. i think he has done enormous damage to himself. he is exposing himself to the american people as a very petty, superficial man. this is a former head of the fbi. he is the former deputy attorney general of the united states. he is a former united states attorney. he is conducting himself like a complete bozo the clown. and he does enormous damage to the federal bureau of investigation by conducting himself this way. people need to keep something in mind. he was head of the bureau, head of the bureau, and his deputy was andrew mccabe who now has a criminal referral from the inspector general of the department of justice to the united states attorney in washington, d.c. his boss was comey. comey needs to answer for this. on top of that. you have strzok. have you talked about him in the past. page, his girlfriend. you have talked about her in the past. all these people in senior positions under comey at the time. you have a dossier that was fraudulent, where have you actual collusion with the hillary clinton campaign and the dnc. and payments being made through law firms to fusion gps. that was used to get a fisa warrant against an american citizen with loose ties to the trump campaign in order to get to the trump campaign and the trump transition through the back door. all this, again, occurred under james comey's watch and then, he meets with the president-elect of the united states, a week or so before he becomes president of the united states, clears the room out, doesn't show him the dossier. doesn't tell him who funded it, but tells him some of the most squirre injury columbus lies to tell the president of the united states don't look what i have on you. thoughts he was in a position to blackmail the president. brian: it's not critical of comey it's loretta lynch and andrew mccabe. you told me to talk to the "wall street journal." is he on record saying i never told anybody to leak. somebody is lying and i haven't said the name donald trump. >> let me ask you a question, brian kilmeade or the whole nation. whether you have james comey roaming around the country like this and now there is disputes about his congressional testimony, there is disputes about his supposed memos, what he said in those and so forth, and you're a potential witness for the government in some case that robert mueller is investigating, why hasn't robert mueller pulled this guy back? i keep hearing it's going to hurt mueller's case. okay, great. why doesn't the special counsel who is best friends with james comey, who is appointed as a result of james comey leaking illegally, to the "new york times" through his front man, the college law professor, why doesn't mueller take control and say, jim, you're screwing up my case, potentially, be quiet. i will tell you the reason why. because this is all an attack on the president of the united states. this is not really about a legal case. and, let me tell you why it's not really about a legal case. if we had a real special counsel who said, you know, my job is to investigate russian interference in the election and possible collusion with the trump campaign, it would have been over six months ago. there was no collusion with the trump campaign. interference with the election was well-known. that's really a counter terrorism investigation. not really a criminal investigation. he should fold tent and be done. he doesn't want to fold tent and be done. he want to sees a the prosecutor he wants to see the president impeached. moreover, the deputy attorney general of the united states rosenstein, if mueller won't control himself, rosenstein should be mueller. set this as former chief of staff attorney general. rosenstein is in the tank, too. this is not any longer a criminal investigation. it is an impeachment investigation. it is a political investigation. and jim comey is the face of it. brian: there is a story line throughout without a plot. that is that the president of the united states is going to fire robert mueller. there was steer out the other day that pittsburgh is preparing riot gear just in case -- the city of pittsburgh, in case president trump fires robert mueller. he hasn't, he wasn't. there is none confirmed reports about it. why are these nonexistent stories taking the headlines? >> because that is what much of the media have become. whatever happened to that clown michael wolff who wrote that nasty book? they pushed him for 10 days, he fell off the edge of the earth. whatever happened to that professor at yale running around talking about the president's mental state. they pushed heller off the edge of the earth. now they have a porno star when she is done they will push her off the edge of the earth. it doesn't matter, congo line of story lines that are as the president calls it fake news. it's problem began da if you will. brian: real quick. this has been the week out of nowhere sean hannity's name came up in mike coal >> mike: calicoen two networks pushed to have his name exposed. there shut be a hannity test now to see if anyone is going to have a double standard to anything they do from chuck todd to george stephanopoulos to others. >> yeah. we got to know every lawyer who has ever represented any of these so-called journalists or they have ever talked to. we might as well ask about the urology gists and patrol car toll gist patrol car toll go make sure there is no conflict of interests. scores of reporters worked for democrats and scores of democrats have moved into these positions as journalists. what we have learned now is that the lawyer who went in front of the love judge, kemba wood and demanded the release of this client number three, was the lawyer for cnn and the "new york times" and while they were trashing sean, they never mentioned that they were involved. it was their lawyer and this judge as andy mccarthy wrote in national review blew it big time. this judge and the u.s. attorney's office had a responsibility to protect sean's name. not so much because of attorney/client privilege because you are not supposed to smear a person in the criminal courts. the judge blew it she knew of what she was doing actually. the u.s. attorney's office did it because it's not about following the rules anymore. it's about getting trump, getting anybody around trump. and getting one in the media who isn't lock step against trump. brian: is he mark levin and hosts life, liberty and levin. >> the temperature is going to be pretty good on saturday. i won't be telling golf. brian: i was talking about the show. i'm sorry, mark. i should have been more specific at 10:00. >> we very a great show. we have peter priode. we're going to talk about the electromagnetic problem this country might face. our entire electrical grid. have you heard about the russians poking around. the north koreans thinking about blowing it out. i wanted to get to the bottom of this. it's no joke. it's a big deal and the government is not doing enough to protect us. brian: mark levin, thanks so much. >> god bless. brian: that is the great one. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead on our show, breaking this hour, we are getting more information this morning, police under attack again, two florida deputies murdered in an ambush. former detective ted williams here with details. plus, president trump blasting democrats for blocking mike pompeo's nomination for secretary of state. are they playing politics with our national security?

do know these guys or just see them in their uniforms and didn't like cops? >> we don't know anything at this time. i understand the investigation is ongoing towards the motive. as the sheriff there said, police officers are being demonized and that is the most troubling aspect of this, guys. guys, may 13th through the 19th. and i want all our viewers to understand. this between 4th and 5th street in washington, d.c. on e street is the national police memorial. >> and you're going to find that come during that time period the names of sergeant ramirez and deputy taylor lindsey are going to be inscribed on that memorial. >> you know, one of the puzzling things about this is so this guy shoots the police officers through the open window. and then when the cops arrive a couple of minutes later, the guy is on the sidewalk dead. they haven't said what happened but it almost sounds like, well, i hate to speculate but it does sound like a murder suicide. >> well, i don't want to speculate either or get ahead of the investigation. but it is my understanding that this is, in fact, a murder/suicide. but the question is what was the motive, if it was a murder/suicide. these were two human beings. two, warm, gentle giants of that community. and now they are dead and we don't know the motive and we may never know the motive, unfortunately. brian: ted williams, thanks so much. ainsley: thank you, ted. >> my pleasure. steve: 10 minutes before the top of the hour on this friday. this american pastor is being held prisoner overseas and president trump is calling for him to be released. will he ever come home?

c.c. heil is the executive senior council for the american center for law and justice which helps represent pastor andrew brunson, she joins us now with an update. good morning to you. thanks for joining us. >> good morning. thank you for covering this case. ainsley: you are welcome. we are really concerned about him and he has been in our thoughts and prayers, including the president. he has been tweeting about him. i will bring that you in a minute. what is the update on. this most recent updates for pastor brun son after his trial on monday he was remand back to an original prison where he was in where he lost 50 pounds and terrible condition for him. just last night, he was moved back to the current prison he was in before the trial, which is not the ultimate outcome that we want but it is much better for pastor brunson. ainsley: is he safe? >> as safer as he can be in a country that has deemed him a terrorist. and in a turkish prison. ainsley: why do they think that he was a spy? what's the reason for putting him behind bars? or their evidence, i should say? >> pastor brunson lived for 23 years as pastor in turkey, no problems. he raised his family there it was after the failed coup attempt in 2016 where presidentered done. that's why pastor brunson was originally arrested. in the 62 page indictment, the prosecutor literally says that his crime is christianization. he equates terrorism to christianization. ainsley: wow. how are christians treated in turkey? >> well, they are definitely, you know, extreme minority. and turkey used to really pride itself in religious freedom. it seems like under president erdogan's rule in a state of emergency that's no longer the case. ainsley: is it safe for americans to travel there? >> my personal opinion would be no. obviously they are yoursing this american citizen as a political hostage and a bargaining chip. ainsley: um-huh. >> i wouldn't recommend that any united states citizen travel there. ainsley: i know the vice president called his wife on tuesday to express his deep concerns and ambassador brown back and tillis have been involved in this. the president tweeted out they call him a spy. but i'm more of a spy than he is. hopefully he will be allowed to come home to his beautiful family where he belongs. what's your reaction? >> well, i think when it's my personal opinion that when president trump sends out a tweet, he is sending a message. so i hope that that is indeed the case for pastor brunson. i hope president erdogan has received the message. president trump is engaged and he wants him home now. ainsley: in your heart of hearts? do you think we will get him home? >> i do. i'm hopeful. i want turkey to do the right thing. they are a nato ally. they need to send him home immediately just like president trump said. ainsley: if he is convicted, what happens to him? >> it's a 35-year sentence and pastor brunson is 50 years old. basically he will spend the rest of his life in a turkish prison. ainsley: wow. and how do they treat prisoners? >> the original prisoner that he was in was not good conditions. this prison that he is in now, as far as i know for a turkish prison it's as good as it can be. ainsley: all right. thank you so much for being with us. we will all say prayers that we get him home soon. >> thank you so much. ainsley: how is his wife doing by the way? >> she is heart-broken. the family is heart-broken. they all appreciate your prayers. that's what's just getting him by. and hopefully that's will get him home as well. ainsley: thank you so much. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome. a huge final hour. we have geraldo, tomi lahren, newt gingrich, steve hilton and sheriff bore chef anl all here live. you will not be deterred just because your office is measured in acres and a half day of work is twelve hours. nor, will unyielding temperatures and a long list of grueling tasks stop you. your relentless spirit drives you forward and makes work feel less like work. some call it your heritage. . . dray, when he was younger, he loved to smile; and we knew he would need braces because his teeth were coming in funny. this is the picture that was on the front page of the newspaper. all you can notice is the braces! then, once he got to michigan state, he broke the retainer! my bottom teeth, they were really crooked, and i just wasn't getting braces again. then i discovered smiledirectclub. it's easy to just grab it and go and i can change it on the road. i did photoshoots with my aligners in and you can't see them. a smile is a first impression, that's why i think having a great smile is so important. steve: the department of justice released the former fbi director's memos. brian: president trump sounding off. general michael flynn's life can be totally destroyed while shady james comey can leak and lie. >> comey is like a bad rash. he won't go away. ainsley: killed two florida deputies sitting in a chinese restaurant, gunned down in broad daylight. >> i knew both of them personally. i can sit here in front of all of you say that i loved them. steve: the department of justice inspector general has handed over to the u.s. attorney in washington, d.c., his report and suggest is a criminal referral for andy mccabe. >> he was dishonest. looks like a very strong case for me. >> i'm undocumented. you want to deport an undocumented person, start with me. >> if he is undocumented maybe i.c.e. should pay him a visit. go ahead and deport him. ♪ ♪ brian: can you play the trumpet these days through the organ? you don't need a trumpet player these days? ainsley: you mean push the button? brian: exactly. ainsley: i'm sure they have that on fancy keyboards. steve: why would you want to. just have somebody play the trumpet. brian: hard to find a trumpet player. they're in school or bands. ainsley: are you searching for one? you can't get one? if you're a trumpet player please contact brian, he is looking for one. brian: it's a great instrument. louie armstrong was my idol growing up because he could sing too but not many people can play the trumpet. steve: someone who likes to toot his own horn. he joins us from cleveland. >> good morning to you. nice to see the beatles all together. brian: absolutely. steve: isn't it curious. now that we've seen 15 pages of james comey's memos. these are things he leaked to his friend, that would spur a special counsel investigation of donald trump. we look at the stuff. there is nothing in there that would suggest russian collusion. there is nothing in there to suggest obstruction of justice so what gives? >> steve, as a current author myself i envoy comey's incredible press tour. he is everywhere speaking to everybody. he has a number one, number one book out there, but the more exposure he gets, even among people naturally friendly toward his point of view, the less his image of grandeur, it is just shrinking. he is melting right before our very eyes. now he seems like, that awe, shucks thing is gone. now it seems like revenge of the nerd. the guy is trying to stick it to donald trump. it also seems, i don't want to be a school exist, an armchair school exist about, seems -- psychologist about this. he seems so embarrassed about sabotaging hillary clinton's presidential as per rages he is bending over backwards to insult president of the united states. talking about donald trump's little hands. his tie is too long. orange face and all of these press events he is doing. in terms of the book and the memos, it seems like such a big nothing burger. i don't see anything there that corroborates if any way the cosmic charge of collusion. steve: right. >> moreover, talking about some of the evidence backing the charges against the president, the infamous steele dossier and comey suggesting in a very reckless way, yes it es possible some of these more lurid sex allegations, it is also possible aliens will populate the earth or discover gold under the fox news building on sixth avenue. he is is coming across as reckless, irresponsible, as someone who in every single way trying to exploit the opportunity to make his cachet. i think that it is, this is advantage president trump as of right now. brian: unlike your book, your memoir looking back at your years, he has an unfolding investigation and news happening while his book is coming out. so he wants to talk to about his book and reflections. he is forced to talk about the news. jake tapper did a great job. bret baier will be better next week. he asked him about peter strzok. peter strzok, the fbi agent, texting somebody, led the fbi investigation, texting disparaging things about the president. can you understand how he feels there is bias here? sure i would be very concerned about that. that is the reason bob mueller removed peter strzok. that is the missing the point. the damage was already done. he talked to hillary clinton. he talked to michael flynn. he was part of an investigation looking at emails back in october that would eventually be released later that month. peter strzok was somebody on the wrong side of this. >> peter strzok, brian, is also evidence of what seems to be, and i hate to say it because i honor the fbi and the doj. they are the impartial arbiters of our fate when it comes to law and order, "crime and punishment" but there does seem to be, at least there was, a stink in these institutions, an anti-trump stink. strzok one of the most vivid examples of that but at some point you have to put your elf in the president's shoes. how would you feel incredibly powerful collection of fbi agent s and assistant attorney generals and so forth were almost pre-determined to sink your political fate? it really seems very, very unsavory. if the flynn thing, the general michael flynn thing, is the strongest evidence they have of obstruction, the president saying to comey, i hope you can see your way clear to let this thing go, why can't we construe that as it most naturally would be construed? here is war hero. here is a man that served his country. here is a guy worried about his own son's fate, general flynn. cut i am some slack on something no harm, no foul. ainsley: geraldo, when i read through these memos, most of our viewers will not sit down to read the pages. it is our job e job to tell them what is in it. three meetings, two at trump tower and one at the while house. a meeting with reince priebus and three phone calls with president of the united states. i read through the whole thing. there was things that stood out. most of the information out there is what we know. you mention the stink thing, comey said he didn't leak in the memo he told george stephanopoulos that he did leak to his friend the reporter. he also said that the president went back to him and said i didn't stay in that hotel room in russia. that dirty dossier thing stood out to me. you mentioned the stink part. this is what he said after the first meeting in the white house. the conversation which was pleasant at all time, was chaotic, topics touched, returning later made it difficult to recount in linear fashion. it was jigsaw puzzles with pieces picked up and returned to. he says he is not political. that sounds extremely political. sounds like he has disdain for the president. if he was going to get fired he wanted that in there for his book. what struck you when you read the memos? >> you know answer sy i feel similarly. first of all the memos were a classic example of cover your behind. he wanted, ex post facto, after the fact, to recreate a situation that reflected most negatively on the president and most postively on james comey. he knew that his destiny was very fragile, his standing with the fbi, very much tenuous, very much in doubt because of the president's attitude toward him. but for him to write these things down, it seems so self-serving. it just seems to me almost as if he was penning the first draft of the book that has now been published. steve: you know what is interesting about that -- >> there is no nobility in james comey the way i see it right now. steve: he took notes of his conversations with donald trump but never took notes with hillary clinton or barack obama or loretta lynch. isn't that ironic? i don't know if he, how many times he met rudy giuliani. probably didn't take -- brian: talked glowingly about rudy giuliani in his book. steve: here is the big news. rudy joined president trump's legal team. do you think that will help him with the mueller probe or is that more of the michael cohen probe with the southern district of new york u.s. attorney? >> i don't think personally the mueller probe is the president's real threat. i think the mueller probe is petering out. the president now has been informed he is not the target. i think it is only a matter of time before there is admission, grudging, way late, you know, delayed unsufficientablely, there will be, insufficient perrably, by robert mueller there was no collusion. the basis of this entire odyssey will be announced bankrupt. the new york case is different. michael cohen is a wheeler dealer. i don't know if he dotted every i, crossed every t in his business dealings with president trump that would be seem to me, looking at outside, i have no special inside information but the new york case does seem to be more common allegations, common crime, not anything cosmic. not anything having to do with national security but, a criminal, whether it is tax or bank fraud, something in that nature. in that regard rudy giuliani will be a ferocious defender of the president in a way that will surpass any of the attorney's names so far in his defense team. rudy giuliani is exactly the guy. brian: they added some others to help out too. so the legal team is finally compete. rudy said i want to get this done in two weeks, he will call marvin mueller, which he likes. what will it take. i need to sit down with the president. we'll find out what he wants to do. real quick, when it comes to mccabe, comey was asked how do you feel about andy mccabe, andy mccabe caught lying four times. james comey goes, well good people lie. really? what was donald trump saying? i know we should have been more candid with the vice president, give him a break. he is a good guy. what is the difference? he not saying he is perfect. he is saying give him a break. by the way he served his country over 30 years. >> mccabe was thrown under the bus by james comey t was very clear and almost dramatic to see how james comey, he is so noble and he is, the g man and so forth and here it is, mccabe is in a jam. mccabe is revealed to be a person who lied under oath allegedly. comey says, mccabe, he stinks, i will distance myself from him. the fact of the matter is, mccabe will go down, how ironic is it, mccabe will to down. he is headed down the martha stewart minimum security prison path right now in my opinion. he is going to go down. comey is trying now to shun him, to turn his back, to andrew mccabe, but i think andrew mccabe will be the most vivid of all the indictments to come out of the russia collusion, how ironic it is, that andrew mccabe will be one of the few people actually suffering criminal jeopardy for lies he told irk maybe, guess what?

>> the whole thing is ridiculous. anyway, first of all, this deployment of national guard is completely in line with what previous presidents have done, including democratic presidents. show how completely crazed the anti-trump brigade have become especially here in california, where the california democrats moved so far left, i said before, they are halfway to hawaii. they don't want to cooperate every anything. listen to this, in his letter, when jerry brown said, okay, i will send a few guardsmen but i'm not going to help you with your wall and immigration, in in that same letter he talked about drug snuggling, people trafficking, all the reasons we need the wall as well as immigration. so he completely contradicted himself, even as he was saying he wasn't going to cooperate. steve: oops. ainsley: what is happening do you think? people around the country, people are getting sick of it. do you think in california, i thought majority of the state is liberal but watching what is happening in southern california, are they tired of being pushed in a corner and finally speaking out?

>> he is getting better known. look, i think it will be really, really tough for anyone right now to beat that democratic party machine. but you've got to start somewhere. he is making the arguments. i think what you will see over the years, perhaps not in time for this election, this governor's election in november, over the years people will reject the failures of the democratic party in this state. steve: sound like there will a next revolution. oh, the name of your show. steve hilton, we'll watch this weekend. thanks for joining us from california. brian: what time can we see you, steve?
