Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Fox Report Sunday 20180325



the truth is the white house thinks somewhat opaque about the circumstances surrounding the alleged conflict. i don't have details to share with you. i promise as soon as we learn more this week, we will pass it along to viewers on fox news. we were talking about joe digenova an outstanding attorney, bombastic and bulldog attorney, he's been called by some others. a man previously suggested the president may have been targeted by the d.o.j. and the fbi in this russia probe. well he and his wife as you see there, victoria toensing, accomplished attorney in heroin right will now not join the trump team. here's a statement from jay sekulow -- he adds -- now this and a pair of tweets from the president this morning about his legal team. he took aim about suggestions he was having trouble filling positions on his legal squad. he said this -- he adds -- so as you see once again, rick, the president being a pugilist in social media fighting back as always. >> of course, and kevin, there are questions tonight about the president's pick to become national security adviser, what can you tell us about that? reporter: yes. this is a story that we've been following for quite some time. ambassador john bolton, formerly the u.s. ambassador to the u.n., suggestion from current virginia governor -- i'm sorry, virginia senator tim kaine, and former virginia governor function the commonwealth politics. the former vp choice for the democrats is suggesting that somehow john bolton could have problems getting his security clearance. he suggests it's because he recorded this video, rick, for a pro-gun group in russia. of course, the ambassador is the president's new pick to be the new national security adviser. he'd be take over for h.r. mcmaster. as can you also imagine, his camp is pushing back about this, but first let's hear what senator cain has to say about suggestion that somehow bolton may have trouble getting a security clearance. >> these kinds of contacts raise real questions in my mind whether he could get a full security clearance or not. though the senate doesn't get a vote to confirm the national security adviser, i have many, many questions not only about john bolton's philosophy but about these contacts with russia and potentially other governments. reporter: okay, so is he trying to conflate, suggesting that because he did something for a group that's related to russia or based in russia, does that mean that out the window goes security clearance? here's what a spokesman for the ambassador says tonight -- a group mentioned until recent news coverage of the group, that's from spokesman from the ambassador. and they go onto add, it will be a problem with his getting security clearance, but a story we will be talking about this week. should i point out the president en route to washington, should be there momentarily. we will be there to tell you melania will be in south florida. it is spring break for her family and it is tradition to spend it at mar-a-lago. rick: does that mean you get to spend it at mar-a-lago or coming home? reporter: believe you me, if i can stay, be right there. rick: can you do whatever you want. reporter: thanks, buddy. rick: kevin corke, who was traveling with the president. the president facing backlash over the $1.3 trillion spending bill. the president said he only signed it because the military needed to be fully funded. the conservatives are calling out the commander in chief and gop leaders for supporting the bill. >> i call it the omni-b.s. bill, i'm wondering for what purpose did we put you in the majority. we got to have 60 votes. no, what you have to have is an extraordinary sense of strength when you go into the negotiating room. rick: others are coming to the president's defense agreeing that funding the military is the top priority, especially given current tensions with countries like north korea and russia. >> we had to make this agreement. the $700 billion budget for the department of defense is what general jim mattis, our secretary of defense said we absolutely needed. i'm a conservative, but the fact is that the national defense to me is the most important priority. rick: ellison barber is live in washington with more. ellison? reporter: some republicans say the president should have put the pen down and negotiated a better deal. the president and his administration continue to defend his decision to sign this legislation, saying that it was necessary because of the military. treasury secretary steven mnuchin suggested today that lawmakers should gift president a line-item veto. >> they should give the president a line-item veto. rick: that's been ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court, sir? >> well, again, congress could pass a rule, okay, that allows them to do it. >> no, no. >> it will be a constitutional amendment. of course, we don't need to get into a debate of -- there's different ways of doing this. my comment is it's clear what happened. the democrats, in order to get us military spending demanded a massive increase in nonmilitary spending, and the president made the decision this time that that was worth it. reporter: republican senator rand paul says this is a shameful piece of legislation. >> as far as the content of the bill, this could have been written by president obama and liberal democrats. this bill will give us a trillion dollar deficit this year. reporter: on the other hand, more hawkish republicans are siding with the administration. >> this is the strongest downpayment of rebuilding the military since ronald reagan, the biggest pay raise for military servicemembers in over a decade. reporter: democrats seem to consider this a legislative win. >> still with a victory for investment in our future, protecting and supporting our middle class. >> you don't have the house, we don't have the senate, we don't have the presidency, but we produced a darn good bill. reporter: the spending package does not fully pay for the president's border wall. it also does not deal with daca. the program that protects children who came to the u.s. illegally as children, rick? rick: ellison barber live in washington. thank you. for more on all of this, sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the washington examiner. thanks for being in new york, sarah. >> thanks for having me. >> the legal shake-up. thursday we learned dowd was out and opposed the president giving an interview to mueller and digenova is okay with it, and we learn digenova and his wife victoria toensing are out. what's happening? >> the president is describing this as a product of the president's frustration with how slow the russia probe moved, dowd and others have been promising trump for months now that the russia investigation was close to its conclusion, it was going to be over by christmas, and over by the beginning of this year. we're actually seeing that not only is it broadening in scope up the special counsel might bring the president in for an interview. the president is growing frustrated for legal team. he wants to go on offense. some of his lawyers may be advising him to maybe take a little defensive position as mueller seems to be only picking up speed in this probe. rick: should we assume that digenova and his wife wanted him to take that defensive position as well? i thought they were on board or answering questions with regard to the probe? >> they may well have been. the law firm thatens toing and digenova have together, that's been questioned by the presidents legal team. that would be a conflict of interest. not clear why the white house didn't vet that obvious conflict of interest before they announced digenova's hiring. it's clear the president wants to make change in his representation because of his lawyers, trying to push him towards a cautious approach. rick: he says he won't have problem finding other top attorneys. is that true, do you think? >> we've heard he's having trouble finding legal representation, lawyers know well the politization of this case, the fact they're dragged into a spotlight the way other attorneys are not comfortable in the past, will be dug up, this is a tricky case and don't know what lies ahead for the mueller investigation. some lawyers may not be willing to uproot their lives like that. rick: the other big news was the firing of h.r. mcmaster as national security adviser and the hiring of john bolton, who we know here at fox very well. what's your reaction to that move? >> we've seen president trump move towards having a national security team that better reflects his agenda. i think the iran deal is a great microcosm of that. rex tillerson, the former secretary of state was working with european allies to preserve the deal. h.r. mcmaster was pushing trump away from his desire to withdraw from the jcpoa, so bringing in pompeo, who is critical of the deal, aligned with wanting to pull out. john bolton, who is more aggressive with iran. that's how president trump's national security team wasn't aligned with him. >> we are that much closer to full-on war, but there are others who say that's ridiculous, that maybe he might scare the north koreans into signing a deal with us but not going to lead introduce a conflict. what do you think? >> internally bolton might endorse president trump's aggressive instincts, north korea one is of them. remember trump is surrounded by team who are not advocating for a more cautious approach toward north korea. he has team that can temper that approach. but now he has members of his national security team who aren't actively working against his priorities and that's important for the president. rick: should we be surprised there have been this many moves this early on in the trump administration? >> it's surprising the pace which they've all come, over the past month, hope hicks, gary cohn, josh raffle, another press aide departing on the way out. the change to the secretary of state now to the national security adviser. in long run, it might be a good thing for the stability of the administration to have people in the white house that are more closely aligned with the president but in the short-term feeds the sense of chaos surrounding the president. >> i want to get your reaction to trump saying he'd sign that bill but never sign another one like it? >> i think republicans, conservatives especially agreed with his opposition to the omus in, not with the timing. why wait to whip out a veto threat. rick: all right, we appreciate your time here sarah westwood and see you at the bottom of the hour. don't go too far. >> thank you. >> the white house with new reaction to yesterday's march for our lives rallies. and the president might address the young people's calls for tougher gun control laws. plus investigators searching for motive in the austin serial bombings after a confession from the suspect mark anthony conditt. >> why?

administration what the president is already doing to address the hot-button issue of gun control. from coast-to-coast, hundreds of thousands of young people took to the streets calling for tougher background checks and tighter restrictions on gun sales. white house saying the president has heard their message and the new spending bill is already covering some of the changes promised. >> the president listened to parents, to students, to a variety of stakeholders on this issue as we saw in the omnibus bill, there was two important components, that of the fix nix that is improving the background checks, we know there are gaps between what the military and the civilian systems have. that closes that gap. secondly, it's providing funding, this is the stop of school violence act. rick: gillian turner has more on this from washington. reporter: many of those hundreds of thousands of people were american students directly impacted by gun violence in their own schools. some of them only in elementary school. and yet, their message couldn't have been clearer. they're demanding stricter gun control measures from washington policymakers. >> i want to see an assault weapons ban, high-capacity magazines began. i don't just want to see, this everybody does. the age has to be raised to 21. reporter: a day later the consensus is the students' efforts should be applauded and senior lawmakers are weighing in on messages of encourage. >> the activism is changing the equation, this gives us a moment to finally do what the american public wants us do. reporter: trump administration officials at odds with the students' policy goals are taking care to commend their activism and engagement with the political process. >> i think there is the sense of understanding that these students can go out and speak their minds and that's important. at the same time, it's also understanding that the president and his administration, they're supporters of the 2nd amendment. reporter: despite the empathetic rhetoric, it's unclear whether the president will undertake major reform. friday president trump signed a $1.3 trillion spending bill. the last opportunity for congress to enact major gun legislation before the midterms in november, and yet legislators declined to include significant reforms. while the bill includes additional school safety measures and strengthens background checks it doesn't limit assault weapons or increase the age for purchasing rifles from 18 to 21. something the president expressed support for earlier this month. rick? rick: gillian turner reporting from washington. we bring back sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the washington examiner. we saw some remarkable and powerful marches yesterday, but the key question is will it really have a lasting impact? >> well, i think in a sense it already has. you look back to the countless tragedies we've seen and the issue of gun control of reforms to the background check system and what have you have come up as part of the discussion and quickly faded away as a news cycle moves on. because the student activists have kept sustained attention on the issue, you see congress forced to have more substantive conversations about it. rick: tim kaine says it changes the equation, you apparently agree with that? >> i do, you have president trump putting proposals out there, offering to do something administratively on bump stocks, he did sort of retreat from initial offer to consider raising the age of punching semiconductor weapons. you have seen more and more republicans move to a place where they might seem more open to having discussion about changes to the background check system strengthening it and other issues they had been reluctant to embrace before. rick: you made the point we've heard these protests and calls for tougher restrictions after every mass shooting. but this time, with these kids, with these huge crowds of young people who in many cases will be able to vote in not this election, the next one does, that really put the pressure on these lawmakers, knowing that perhaps these young voters could make a difference for them? >> to a agree, i think it does force lawmakers to flesh out their positions more clearly and to be able to talk about it on the campaign trail more because they're going to be asked about it. i don't know that it makes it any more likely congress passes a bill this year, though. it's an election year, congress barely could get omnibus bill prepared in time. not necessarily more likely they're going to be able to do anything on an issue as contentious as gun control. rick: fox news polling, 44% of respondents say u.s. will be safer if congress pace the restrictive gun control. and more legislation is somewhat likely. you can see a total of, adding in my head now, 54%, is that right? somewhat likely. but you're saying not this year? >> it's going to be difficult to envision congress doing anything else substantive this year. they had a lot of trouble getting the must-passed legislation passed, immigration had a hard and fast deadline of march 5 shths they haven't made movement on that. so on other issues that had more sense of urgency, they didn't do any, it's hard to see gun legislation with indefinite time line moving over the finish line in an election year. rick: another "fox news poll" found a majority feel it's more fortunate protect us from guns than the right to protect to own them. which is more important to protect? citizens from guns 5, 3%. the right to own guns, 42%. what does that tell you? . >> you are seeing the attitude towards guns shift more and more. several years ago, if you asked about raising the legal age for purchasing semiautomatic weapons, a lot would say it infringed on the rights of young people. now you see them willing to entertain that as bipartisan solution. i think the conversation may be shifting towards the gun control legislation. rick: senator marco rubio made a comment while you see hundreds of thousands of people in the streets protesting against guns, have you millions of people at home who are adamant about their gun rights. so while you might see one group in the streets, the other group is still there and still has voting power? >> absolutely. that's why you're not seeing the change overnight because there are millions who have guns, it's a big part of the culture in the country. and historically people in favor of the 2nd amendment who own guns have been more active politically than people against guns, and so part of why this issue is so contentious. rick: sarah westwood. appreciate your time on sunday night. welcome to new york. >> thank you. rick: thank you. it's been six months since hurricane maria. right now 100,000 people are still in the dark. the recovery efforts are still happening as some tourists are starting to return to the island. bryan llenas has a look at what government officials are doing? >> why has the recovery taken so long, yields different answers. plenty on the island blame the trump administration because the u.s. commonwealth is bankrupt, others blame local politicians for poor planing. >> we are second-class citizens. reporter: ricardo is frustrated. he says hurricane maria disaster funds are taking too long to arrive and he blames congress. >> why is the same process in florida or texas that takes a week, in puerto rico takes four months. reporter: he's not alone owens day, two dozen activists were arrested demanding congress provide more financial ate to the commonwealth. puerto rico claims it needs $94 billion in aid. congress appropriated 23 billion but less than 2 billion has been sent. >> i want to see shovels in the ground, houses being built to code. i want to see a power system under construction that will withstand the storm. reporter: mike burns says fema's effort has been unlike any hurricane response he's seen spending over $6 billion so far. $16 million has gone to san sebastian where the mayor blames san juan, not the feds. this town took control of the circumstances, and we lifted ourselves up. reporter: frustrated after not seeing power restored in a month. the town created volunteer brigades including retired lineman and cleared debris on their own. he says the problem isn't fema funding. the governor should have acted with more urgency and taken charge of the utility company. immediately firing those who weren't doing their jobs. reporter: on tuesday, the governor appointed a new head of preppa, the power utility widely blamed for failing infrastructure. 5,000 businesses are closed and expected to never reopen. johnny ramos, president of a manufacturing company says time is running out. >> i cannot sit down and wait for the government. i have to move. rick: u.s. treasury secretary steve mnuchin met with puerto rico's governor to discuss terms for a $2 billion loan that they did secure, but important to remember in all of this that puerto ricoians are u.s. citizens, they pay federal taxes and six months later, obviously frustration on the island. rick? rick: bryan llenas, thank you very much. reporter: of course. rick: they punched their ticket to the final four, and chicago's loyola ramblers are hoping the team's secret weapon can give them another fantastic finish. are they going to make it a habit? pope francis to young people among the faithful, why the timing of it, this holy season. commission investment pr, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do

for millions of christians around the world. pope francis holding mass at the vatican with a special message to every young activist taking part in the march for our lives rallies this weekend. here's conor powell from our jerusalem bureau. reporter: rick, pope francis today speaking to the faithful at st. peter's basilica in rome and diving head first into the debate into the u.s. about guns. pope francis urging young people to keep shouting and not to allow older generations to silence their voices. francis' comments comes for one day after thousands of young americans took to the streets in the u.s. and demanded action on gun violence. pope did not mention saturday's marches directly, but in the past, he's condemned gun violence and weapons manufacturing. and in france, christians celebrating palm sunday, also mourning the 44-year-old french policeman who swapped himself for a female hostage friday. lieutenant colonel bell tram was killed along with three others after a gunman stormed a supermarket in the french town. he was held as a hero in mass. he was shot three times as he helped end the siege carried out by a 25-year-old french moroccan national. isis claimed responsibility for the attack but offered no evidence of how they were actually connected to the attacker. rick? rick: conor powell in jerusalem. legends and lies premieres later on fox. fox and friends co-host caught up with one of the historians featured in this season, and here's part of that interview. >> thomas jefferson said that he was awakened by a fire bell in the night at the missouri compromise. he was concerned that the tensions over slavery in this country, the sectional tensions would lead to a civil war. in 1854, you get really the flame starting in this fire, so jefferson was still alive he would be awakened by the fire, and bloody kansas produces john brown. and the jayhawker john brown, when he invades western virginia, he's innovating the south. the fire has started. so we can call john brown's raid the accelerant that starts the civil war. >> you have been on the series legends and lies, all of them. the civil war is your expertise. we're all looking forward to this. let's show people a small clip. >> if you surrender now, there are lives spared. >> there shall be no surrender! >> we have but one life to live, and once to die. but if we lose our lives, it will perhaps do more for our cause than our life would in any other way. >> seems an important time to air this and this time in history. harry, what do you hope people take from the series? >> that this war was a war that delivered us into an indivisible republic. we are one nation and this swar a war where every life lost is an american life. it is a very bloody war and paid a very heavy price to be as we are as one nation, and when we tell the story, i hope americans really appreciate that every player is an american player, so this is our story and it is a story of patriots who saved the union, abolish slavery and extend democracy in this country. rick: the season premiere of legends and lies, a civil war is tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox news

the truth is the white house thinks somewhat opaque about the circumstances surrounding the alleged conflict. i don't have details to share with you. i promise as soon as we learn more this week, we will pass it along to viewers on fox news. we were talking about joe digenova an outstanding attorney, bombastic and bulldog attorney, he's been called by some others. a man previously suggested the president may have been targeted by the d.o.j. and the fbi in this russia probe. well he and his wife as you see there, victoria toensing, accomplished attorney in heroin right will now not join the trump team. here's a statement from jay sekulow -- he adds -- now this and a pair of tweets from the president this morning about his legal team. he took aim about suggestions he was having trouble filling positions on his legal squad. he said this -- he adds -- so as you see once again, rick, the president being a pugilist in social media fighting back as always. >> of course, and kevin, there are questions tonight about the president's pick to become national security adviser, what can you tell us about that? reporter: yes. this is a story that we've been following for quite some time. ambassador john bolton, formerly the u.s. ambassador to the u.n., suggestion from current virginia governor -- i'm sorry, virginia senator tim kaine, and former virginia governor function the commonwealth politics. the former vp choice for the democrats is suggesting that somehow john bolton could have problems getting his security clearance. he suggests it's because he recorded this video, rick, for a pro-gun group in russia. of course, the ambassador is the president's new pick to be the new national security adviser. he'd be take over for h.r. mcmaster. as can you also imagine, his camp is pushing back about this, but first let's hear what senator cain has to say about suggestion that somehow bolton may have trouble getting a security clearance. >> these kinds of contacts raise real questions in my mind whether he could get a full security clearance or not. though the senate doesn't get a vote to confirm the national security adviser, i have many, many questions not only about john bolton's philosophy but about these contacts with russia and potentially other governments. reporter: okay, so is he trying to conflate, suggesting that because he did something for a group that's related to russia or based in russia, does that mean that out the window goes security clearance? here's what a spokesman for the ambassador says tonight -- a group mentioned until recent news coverage of the group, that's from spokesman from the ambassador. and they go onto add, it will be a problem with his getting security clearance, but a story we will be talking about this week. should i point out the president en route to washington, should be there momentarily. we will be there to tell you melania will be in south florida. it is spring break for her family and it is tradition to spend it at mar-a-lago. rick: does that mean you get to spend it at mar-a-lago or coming home? reporter: believe you me, if i can stay, be right there. rick: can you do whatever you want. reporter: thanks, buddy. rick: kevin corke, who was traveling with the president. the president facing backlash over the $1.3 trillion spending bill. the president said he only signed it because the military needed to be fully funded. the conservatives are calling out the commander in chief and gop leaders for supporting the bill. >> i call it the omni-b.s. bill, i'm wondering for what purpose did we put you in the majority. we got to have 60 votes. no, what you have to have is an extraordinary sense of strength when you go into the negotiating room. rick: others are coming to the president's defense agreeing that funding the military is the top priority, especially given current tensions with countries like north korea and russia. >> we had to make this agreement. the $700 billion budget for the department of defense is what general jim mattis, our secretary of defense said we absolutely needed. i'm a conservative, but the fact is that the national defense to me is the most important priority. rick: ellison barber is live in washington with more. ellison? reporter: some republicans say the president should have put the pen down and negotiated a better deal. the president and his administration continue to defend his decision to sign this legislation, saying that it was necessary because of the military. treasury secretary steven mnuchin suggested today that lawmakers should gift president a line-item veto. >> they should give the president a line-item veto. rick: that's been ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court, sir? >> well, again, congress could pass a rule, okay, that allows them to do it. >> no, no. >> it will be a constitutional amendment. of course, we don't need to get into a debate of -- there's different ways of doing this. my comment is it's clear what happened. the democrats, in order to get us military spending demanded a massive increase in nonmilitary spending, and the president made the decision this time that that was worth it. reporter: republican senator rand paul says this is a shameful piece of legislation. >> as far as the content of the bill, this could have been written by president obama and liberal democrats. this bill will give us a trillion dollar deficit this year. reporter: on the other hand, more hawkish republicans are siding with the administration. >> this is the strongest downpayment of rebuilding the military since ronald reagan, the biggest pay raise for military servicemembers in over a decade. reporter: democrats seem to consider this a legislative win. >> still with a victory for investment in our future, protecting and supporting our middle class. >> you don't have the house, we don't have the senate, we don't have the presidency, but we produced a darn good bill. reporter: the spending package does not fully pay for the president's border wall. it also does not deal with daca. the program that protects children who came to the u.s. illegally as children, rick? rick: ellison barber live in washington. thank you. for more on all of this, sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the washington examiner. thanks for being in new york, sarah. >> thanks for having me. >> the legal shake-up. thursday we learned dowd was out and opposed the president giving an interview to mueller and digenova is okay with it, and we learn digenova and his wife victoria toensing are out. what's happening? >> the president is describing this as a product of the president's frustration with how slow the russia probe moved, dowd and others have been promising trump for months now that the russia investigation was close to its conclusion, it was going to be over by christmas, and over by the beginning of this year. we're actually seeing that not only is it broadening in scope up the special counsel might bring the president in for an interview. the president is growing frustrated for legal team. he wants to go on offense. some of his lawyers may be advising him to maybe take a little defensive position as mueller seems to be only picking up speed in this probe. rick: should we assume that digenova and his wife wanted him to take that defensive position as well? i thought they were on board or answering questions with regard to the probe? >> they may well have been. the law firm thatens toing and digenova have together, that's been questioned by the presidents legal team. that would be a conflict of interest. not clear why the white house didn't vet that obvious conflict of interest before they announced digenova's hiring. it's clear the president wants to make change in his representation because of his lawyers, trying to push him towards a cautious approach. rick: he says he won't have problem finding other top attorneys. is that true, do you think? >> we've heard he's having trouble finding legal representation, lawyers know well the politization of this case, the fact they're dragged into a spotlight the way other attorneys are not comfortable in the past, will be dug up, this is a tricky case and don't know what lies ahead for the mueller investigation. some lawyers may not be willing to uproot their lives like that. rick: the other big news was the firing of h.r. mcmaster as national security adviser and the hiring of john bolton, who we know here at fox very well. what's your reaction to that move? >> we've seen president trump move towards having a national security team that better reflects his agenda. i think the iran deal is a great microcosm of that. rex tillerson, the former secretary of state was working with european allies to preserve the deal. h.r. mcmaster was pushing trump away from his desire to withdraw from the jcpoa, so bringing in pompeo, who is critical of the deal, aligned with wanting to pull out. john bolton, who is more aggressive with iran. that's how president trump's national security team wasn't aligned with him. >> we are that much closer to full-on war, but there are others who say that's ridiculous, that maybe he might scare the north koreans into signing a deal with us but not going to lead introduce a conflict. what do you think? >> internally bolton might endorse president trump's aggressive instincts, north korea one is of them. remember trump is surrounded by team who are not advocating for a more cautious approach toward north korea. he has team that can temper that approach. but now he has members of his national security team who aren't actively working against his priorities and that's important for the president. rick: should we be surprised there have been this many moves this early on in the trump administration? >> it's surprising the pace which they've all come, over the past month, hope hicks, gary cohn, josh raffle, another press aide departing on the way out. the change to the secretary of state now to the national security adviser. in long run, it might be a good thing for the stability of the administration to have people in the white house that are more closely aligned with the president but in the short-term feeds the sense of chaos surrounding the president. >> i want to get your reaction to trump saying he'd sign that bill but never sign another one like it? >> i think republicans, conservatives especially agreed with his opposition to the omus in, not with the timing. why wait to whip out a veto threat. rick: all right, we appreciate your time here sarah westwood and see you at the bottom of the hour. don't go too far. >> thank you. >> the white house with new reaction to yesterday's march for our lives rallies. and the president might address the young people's calls for tougher gun control laws. plus investigators searching for motive in the austin serial bombings after a confession from the suspect mark anthony conditt. >> why? why would someone do a random act of violence? to many of us, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. ♪ so, work is changing. ♪ we're told the robots are coming for our jobs, ♪ that the algorithms will replace us. ♪ but we are resilient, born to adapt, wired to learn. sure, change is coming, but we will find opportunity. search for greatness. search indeed.

administration what the president is already doing to address the hot-button issue of gun control. from coast-to-coast, hundreds of thousands of young people took to the streets calling for tougher background checks and tighter restrictions on gun sales. white house saying the president has heard their message and the new spending bill is already covering some of the changes promised. >> the president listened to parents, to students, to a variety of stakeholders on this issue as we saw in the omnibus bill, there was two important components, that of the fix nix that is improving the background checks, we know there are gaps between what the military and the civilian systems have. that closes that gap. secondly, it's providing funding, this is the stop of school violence act. rick: gillian turner has more on this from washington. reporter: many of those hundreds of thousands of people were american students directly impacted by gun violence in their own schools. some of them only in elementary school. and yet, their message couldn't have been clearer. they're demanding stricter gun control measures from washington policymakers. >> i want to see an assault weapons ban, high-capacity magazines began. i don't just want to see, this everybody does. the age has to be raised to 21. reporter: a day later the consensus is the students' efforts should be applauded and senior lawmakers are weighing in on messages of encourage. >> the activism is changing the equation, this gives us a moment to finally do what the american public wants us do. reporter: trump administration officials at odds with the students' policy goals are taking care to commend their activism and engagement with the political process. >> i think there is the sense of understanding that these students can go out and speak their minds and that's important. at the same time, it's also understanding that the president and his administration, they're supporters of the 2nd amendment. reporter: despite the empathetic rhetoric, it's unclear whether the president will undertake major reform. friday president trump signed a $1.3 trillion spending bill. the last opportunity for congress to enact major gun legislation before the midterms in november, and yet legislators declined to include significant reforms. while the bill includes additional school safety measures and strengthens background checks it doesn't limit assault weapons or increase the age for purchasing rifles from 18 to 21. something the president expressed support for earlier this month. rick? rick: gillian turner reporting from washington. we bring back sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the washington examiner. we saw some remarkable and powerful marches yesterday, but the key question is will it really have a lasting impact? >> well, i think in a sense it already has. you look back to the countless tragedies we've seen and the issue of gun control of reforms to the background check system and what have you have come up as part of the discussion and quickly faded away as a news cycle moves on. because the student activists have kept sustained attention on the issue, you see congress forced to have more substantive conversations about it. rick: tim kaine says it changes the equation, you apparently agree with that? >> i do, you have president trump putting proposals out there, offering to do something administratively on bump stocks, he did sort of retreat from initial offer to consider raising the age of punching semiconductor weapons. you have seen more and more republicans move to a place where they might seem more open to having discussion about changes to the background check system strengthening it and other issues they had been reluctant to embrace before. rick: you made the point we've heard these protests and calls for tougher restrictions after every mass shooting. but this time, with these kids, with these huge crowds of young people who in many cases will be able to vote in not this election, the next one does, that really put the pressure on these lawmakers, knowing that perhaps these young voters could make a difference for them? >> to a agree, i think it does force lawmakers to flesh out their positions more clearly and to be able to talk about it on the campaign trail more because they're going to be asked about it. i don't know that it makes it any more likely congress passes a bill this year, though. it's an election year, congress barely could get omnibus bill prepared in time. not necessarily more likely they're going to be able to do anything on an issue as contentious as gun control. rick: fox news polling, 44% of respondents say u.s. will be safer if congress pace the restrictive gun control. and more legislation is somewhat likely. you can see a total of, adding in my head now, 54%, is that right? somewhat likely. but you're saying not this year? >> it's going to be difficult to envision congress doing anything else substantive this year. they had a lot of trouble getting the must-passed legislation passed, immigration had a hard and fast deadline of march 5 shths they haven't made movement on that. so on other issues that had more sense of urgency, they didn't do any, it's hard to see gun legislation with indefinite time line moving over the finish line in an election year. rick: another "fox news poll" found a majority feel it's more fortunate protect us from guns than the right to protect to own them. which is more important to protect? citizens from guns 5, 3%. the right to own guns, 42%. what does that tell you? . >> you are seeing the attitude towards guns shift more and more. several years ago, if you asked about raising the legal age for purchasing semiautomatic weapons, a lot would say it infringed on the rights of young people. now you see them willing to entertain that as bipartisan solution. i think the conversation may be shifting towards the gun control legislation. rick: senator marco rubio made a comment while you see hundreds of thousands of people in the streets protesting against guns, have you millions of people at home who are adamant about their gun rights. so while you might see one group in the streets, the other group is still there and still has voting power? >> absolutely. that's why you're not seeing the change overnight because there are millions who have guns, it's a big part of the culture in the country. and historically people in favor of the 2nd amendment who own guns have been more active politically than people against guns, and so part of why this issue is so contentious. rick: sarah westwood. appreciate your time on sunday night. welcome to new york. >> thank you. rick: thank you. it's been six months since hurricane maria. right now 100,000 people are still in the dark. the recovery efforts are still happening as some tourists are starting to return to the island. bryan llenas has a look at what government officials are doing? >> why has the recovery taken so long, yields different answers. plenty on the island blame the trump administration because the u.s. commonwealth is bankrupt, others blame local politicians for poor planing. >> we are second-class citizens. reporter: ricardo is frustrated. he says hurricane maria disaster funds are taking too long to arrive and he blames congress. >> why is the same process in florida or texas that takes a week, in puerto rico takes four months. reporter: he's not alone owens day, two dozen activists were arrested demanding congress provide more financial ate to the commonwealth. puerto rico claims it needs $94 billion in aid. congress appropriated 23 billion but less than 2 billion has been sent. >> i want to see shovels in the ground, houses being built to code. i want to see a power system under construction that will withstand the storm. reporter: mike burns says fema's effort has been unlike any hurricane response he's seen spending over $6 billion so far. $16 million has gone to san sebastian where the mayor blames san juan, not the feds. this town took control of the circumstances, and we lifted ourselves up. reporter: frustrated after not seeing power restored in a month. the town created volunteer brigades including retired lineman and cleared debris on their own. he says the problem isn't fema funding. the governor should have acted with more urgency and taken charge of the utility company. immediately firing those who weren't doing their jobs. reporter: on tuesday, the governor appointed a new head of preppa, the power utility widely blamed for failing infrastructure. 5,000 businesses are closed and expected to never reopen. johnny ramos, president of a manufacturing company says time is running out. >> i cannot sit down and wait for the government. i have to move. rick: u.s. treasury secretary steve mnuchin met with puerto rico's governor to discuss terms for a $2 billion loan that they did secure, but important to remember in all of this that puerto ricoians are u.s. citizens, they pay federal taxes and six months later, obviously frustration on the island. rick? rick: bryan llenas, thank you very much. reporter: of course. rick: they punched their ticket to the final four, and chicago's loyola ramblers are hoping the team's secret weapon can give them another fantastic finish. are they going to make it a habit? pope francis to young people among the faithful, why the timing of it, this holy season. commission investment pr, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. thisreally passionate about- i really want to help. i was on my way out of this life. there are patients out there that don't have a lot of time. finally, it was like the sun rose again and i was going to start fighting back now. when those patients come to me and say, "you saved my life...." my life was saved by a two week old targeted therapy drug. that's what really drives me to- to save lives. . rick: palm sunday marks the start of holy week for millions of christians around the world. pope francis holding mass at the vatican with a special message to every young activist taking part in the march for our lives rallies this weekend. here's conor powell from our jerusalem bureau. reporter: rick, pope francis today speaking to the faithful at st. peter's basilica in rome and diving head first into the debate into the u.s. about guns. pope francis urging young people to keep shouting and not to allow older generations to silence their voices. francis' comments comes for one day after thousands of young americans took to the streets in the u.s. and demanded action on gun violence. pope did not mention saturday's marches directly, but in the past, he's condemned gun violence and weapons manufacturing. and in france, christians
