past few days here in europe telling people he thinks america is back. as in he think thinks the u.s. has seen as stronger on the world stage now that he has been elected president and he is putting a premium on alliances like nato. >> america. >> very good for america. essential for america. >> peter: surrounded by nato allies. the president seemed to be in good spirits. >> it looks like the first day back at school seeing all your old friends again. >> most of the time. for example, he didn't have much to say after a private meeting with the turkish president erdogan with whom he has significant policy differences. >> we couldn't hear you, sir. >> i didn't say anything. >> peter: russian aggression appears to russia's most aggressive challenge. >> we have russia that is not acting in a way that is consistent with what we had hoped as well as china. >> peter: so a lot has changed in a decade. >> last time nato put together a

strategic plan 2010 when russia was considered a partner and china wasn't even mentioned. >> peter: cyberattacks launched by add actors in russia a major concern for nato and putin is paying attention. >> nato has declared cyberspace on area of combat. that means they're planning something. they are preparing something. so, obviously, this cannot but worry us. >> peter: putin and biden finally meet wednesday. >> i will convey what i convey to president putin that i'm not looking for conflict with russia but that we will respond if russia continues its harmful activities. >> peter: this weekend president biden signed on g-7 document call for transparent led by the world health organization. >> we need to get to the bottom of it and working on that through the w.h.o. and working on that ourselves. >> peter: critics doubt that w.h.o. is capable of leading. >> i don't think this investigation can be done properly with the w.h.o. who is

headed up by director general pate degrees puppet of president xi. >> the ideas adage politics stops at the water edge previous year. president biden responding to a question about the trump era spoke critically overseas about republican rivals. >> the leadership of the republican party is fractured and the trump wing of the party is a bulk of the party but makes up a significant minority of the american people. >> peter: most of the attention remained on this trip and sit down with putin. >> is he bright. he is tough. and i have found that he is a, as they say, one use i used to play ball a both adversary. >> peter: that's a compliment for a leader biden recently called a killer. asked if putin is still a killer

he didn't give a direct answer. the president is in tonight brussels he flies out tomorrow one day ahead of that meeting with putin on neutral ground in switzerland. bret? >> bret: peter doocy traveling with the president in brussels. thanks. let's get perspective from senior political analyst brit hume. you know, getting ahead of this one-on-one meeting between president biden and vladimir putin. it is a shift as peter mentioneds. worthy, adversary, bright, from calling him a killer. what about this set up? >> donald trump would never say anything 'putin really e didn't like to criticize putin. biden has and he also praised him as we heard in those remarks that peter doocy cited in you heard from biden himself. so everything is kind been overshadowed i think, bret, by anticipation of this wednesday meeting. i don't think they have any real

idea about what's going to come out of it biden has at times talked tough and you have heard him say he doesn't want conflict. hard for knee imagine how on the path that russia is on that wouldn't be conflict. i don't mean armed conflict but conflict. there is nothing that came out of the actions taken by the g-7 or out of this nato meeting concrete actions that tell us very much about where this whole issue is going. both against china and against russia. >> bret: you and i have covered a lot of these multilateral conferences and get togethers. this was especially seemed watered down when it came to russia and china. >> brit: i guess a big moment in europe is biden is now once again citing the significance and importance of nato which is, after all the most successful military alliance probably in history. one thing that should be noted about these alineses with lots and lots of countries in them when you are trying to take actual action, have you got to get everybody on board and not

everybody is on board and europe has a long history during the cold war of being hesitant, more hesitant than the united states was and leaving it to the united states to carry the burden of required placement of troops or whatever because europe is hesitate tant. so, that may be biden's opportunity as the newly readmitted member in good standing of the club of national leaders there but it becomes a burden as well as i have noted. >> bret: some leaders liken it to the boring g-7s. better. at the end of the g-7 there was this press conference with president biden over the weekend. and there was a moment that caught people's attention in which he was trying to talk about syria. and specific policy in syria. take a listen. >> we can work together with russia. for example, in libya and, for

example, the rebuilding of, of a syria. of -- libya. so i'm hopeful that we can find accommodation that where we can save the least of people and, for example, in libya. >> bret: your thoughts about that? >> brit: well, obviously, bret, this is another one of these episodes in which there have been quite a number in which the president forgot something e confused libya and syria. he confuses things with some regulator and in public. and it raises anew the question of whether really his age when forgetfulness isn't understandable and not at all uncommon issue makes him not necessarily in the best position to act as president. you have got to get up on the world stage and not confuse your countries. this is something that some of us way back in 2016 during the

campaign warned about. there was a lot of scoffing at it. and kind of refusal of the mainstream media to even cover it. but now it's out there, you know, out there in the open. i don't think there is any way around it. there it is. >> bret: brit, as always, thank you. >> brit: you bet. >> bret: also breaking tonight, there is deep division among house democrats over what to do about controversial remarks from minnesota congresswoman ilhan omar comparing the u.s. and israel to hamas and the taliban. republicans now have their own ideas. concrete ideas, congressional correspondent jacqui heinrich reports tonight from capitol hill. >> it needs to stop. and i hope my democratic colleagues will join me in calling this out for what it is. and denouncing it at every turn. >> three house republicans moving to censure congresswoman ilhan omar and her progressive colleagues in the squad for, quote: defending foreign terrorist organizations and using rhetoric which contributed to anti-semitic attacks across the united states. the g.o.p. pushed to punish omar

comes after house speaker nancy pelosi said the democratic caucus is moving on after omar walked back her comments appearing to equate democracies like the u.s. and israel with thai groups. >> we did not rebuke her. we thanked -- acknowledged that she made a clarification. >> so do you want people to just let it go. >> they can say whatever they want. but what i'm saying is end of subject. >> but omar later doubled down on the premise of her question referring, to quote: victims of u.s. and israeli abuses in open cases in the international criminal court. members of the squad redirected blame at the media and about face after slamming democratic jewish colleagues and leadership for even asking omar to clarify. >> this all hubbub started with right wing and news outlets taking what she said out of context and when we feed into that, it adds legitimacy to a lot of this kind of right wing vitriol. as speaker pelosi said, we are putting this behind us and i

believe that we will ultimately come together as a caucus. >> it's unclear if any democrats support the censor censure coming from republicans record of incendiary comments. bret, tonight, house speaker nancy pelosi is responding to the g.o.p. motion to censure the squad and congressman jim banks and mike walls now referring to the squad as the hamas caucus. pelosi said they should not be moving to censure and called the hamas caucus moniker dangerous to the members of congress for the target of the comments. bret? >> bret: we will follow this jacqui heinrich live on the hill. jackie, thanks. the top republican in the senate is criticizing his democratic colleagues for pursuing investigations into two trump era attorneys general over probes into the leaking of sensitive material. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell is strongly defends bill barr tonight. here is correspondent david spunt at the justice department. >> these late rest attempts to

division. john demurez, a trump appointee who announced he is leaving his post next week. a department official tells fox news demurez' departure was planned for months schumer wants foreign minister sessions and his successor is bill barr. >> this is not some kind of washington insider thing. this is about people's phone records being subpoenaed without them even knowing about it. >> house intelligence committee chairman schiff today called for doj reforms. hours after the attorney general released a statement leading, in part, political or otherwise improper considerations must play no role in any investigative or prosecutorial decisions. bret, about an hour ago, the attorney general just wrapped up a meeting with news executives to talk about the seizure from doj of journalist private communication. a readout from that meeting says progress was made no. other prudent details to share right now. we do know the inspector general of the department of justice is investigating the matter also.

>> bill: bret, good evening to you. last week we all heard vice president kamala harris send a message to migrants telling them do not come to the border right now. but it appears that message is falling on deaf ears because we have seen them coming still and coming in large numbers. and when they get here, they are sometimes being picked up by human smugglers. when that happens, things can get quite dangerous for the locals living here. take a look. >> they have become the norm, rather than the exception here in texas. high speed pursuits of human smugglers. state troopers tell us there have been more than 370 just since march. we witnessed one of them in mcallen on saturday. our cameras on scene minutes after a human smuggler with 12 migrants in his car led police on a dangerous 40-minute high-speed chase. ending when he crashed into the front of a house in a quiet residential neighborhood and bailed out. the smuggler and migrants were all apprehended. and taken into border patrol custody. >> typically about one or two a day. >> during a ride along with

those who may be against us in a game or contest certainly president biden is on the same team that we are. we have to reassure him that he is able to convey strongly convince him if you do this again, you interrupt our pipeline, you interrupt any other system we have in this nation, we will respond. president biden had said that on the public stage. so, i expect him to be candid. i expect him to be frank. i expect him to be tough, and i expect him to be able to deliver a message back to our ally that he did indeed just that. >> bret: president putin when asked about alexi navalny if he will be out of jail. whether he will get out of jail alive, putin wouldn't answer that question. didn't answer that question. today president biden was asked about the possibility of navalny dying in prison. take a listen. >> navalny's death would be would be another another

indication that russia has little or no intention of abiding by basic fundamental human rights. it would be a tragedy. it would do nothing but hurt his relationships with the rest of the world in my view. >> that sounds like a forgone conclusion. sounds like is he already spinning something that he expects to happen. he i went back and looked at a column by 1987 by richard cohen in the "the washington post" about joe biden's first foreign major policy address as a candidate back then to hard. --harvard. he had a line a generation renowned for not doing its homework may have met its next leader. to say me that's a real problem we see with this approach. it fails to learn from even recent history in terms of dealing with russia.

and unfortunately, i really believe that this foreign policy seems to have all the hallmarks of being about pleasing everybody but america. does it care more about brussels than it does about chicago. is the situation right now where joe biden is going over to russia, having allowed the pipeline to continue over, there having completely ignored the belrusian air piracy incident and having floated this lieu chris idea that we are going to engage in some kind of trade of cyber criminals as if there is some moral equivalency or criminal eequivalency between those participating on the russian side and those active on american soil? it's absolutely ludicrous. i think that the europeans our allies over there may be happy with a lot of it because it sounds rhetorical note that we'll receive a lot of praise but in terms of the practical results, it does not do anything to actually confront russia where it matters to hold them to account for what they have done and for what they will continue

to do. >> bret: trey, having covered a lot of these g-7s, nato summits, you usually end up with one story line, the g-7 at least the communique 25 pages long was pretty watered down even when it came to china and russia, a few sets in there. maybe expressed concerns but not really pointed. the one thing, though, out of nato today that raised my eyebrows and perked my ears was that they are considering adding ukraine as a nato member. and if that is, in fact, the case, that is a huge deal for that region. here's the president answering a question about that. >> the fact is they still have to clean up corruption. the fact is they have to meet other criteria to get into the action plan. and so it's -- you know, school is out on that question. it remains to be seen. in the meantime, we will do all that we can to put ukraine in a

position to be able to continue to resist russian physical aggression. >> bret: by the way he is saying there is corruption on the ground in ukraine they have to clean that up before they are a member of nato. the fact that they are considering it is significant. >> trey: bret, that would be exactly the kind of bold action gets russia's attention that and stopping the pipeline with germany that would be a phenomenal move to say, you know what? ukraine is with us now. don't mess with them anymore. that's what i'm talking about. don't give a sermon. show me a sermon. don't give a stern lecture like obama did and kick out a bunch of nameless diplomats after russia tried to interfere with our election. that's all he did was kicked out a bunch of diplomats and not a single one of us can name one he kicked out. not one. >> bret: that's true. i don't think any of you can name one and i know i can't. up next, the latest on the democrat infighting over congresswoman ilhan omar. ♪ ♪

>> rashida tlaib. >> and, and -- and then she clarified it. and we thanked her for clarification. >> so do you want people to just let it go. >> they can say whatever they want. but what i'm saying is end of subject. she clarified, we thanked her, end of subject. >> bret: speaker pelosi talking about concerns about ilhan omar, congresswoman from minnesota's comments equating the u.s. with the taliban and hamas. obviously republicans don't think that it's over end of subject. we are back with our panel. harold, this is getting quite a stir even in democratic circles. >> harold: look, without question. but i don't fully understand why we-why it continues to be an issue. i disagree with the congresswoman. she is entitled to her views and her speech. she clarified the moral equivalency comment which was asinine and completely wrong. she has said other things in the

past that i don't agree with. there are some democrats i don't agree with. and there are many republicans i don't agree with. i think substantive debate we should welcome but when it's hateful and frankly un -- it lacks a factual basis and it has to be challenged. >> bret: you don't think there is a difference between going after marjorie taylor greene's committees or steve king's or, you know, the uproar over some of the things that happened on the right or this as far as she is on the house foreign relations committee? >> harold: well, she -- to my understanding, she clarified those comments and i don't know where marjorie taylor greene her clarification, i think was very, very different. bret, here's my point, we are going to disagree with people. we should have these substantive conversations. i would say to the congresswoman and some of her supporters who thought that the criticism she received, congresswoman omar, the criticism she received was unfair, maybe racist or

islamophobic. we should welcome that and welcome that. >> ben: i think there is significant difference here especially in the context of what is going on in the country. we see an an absolutely virulent and disturbing rise in anti-semitic hate crimes across this country that should concern all of us. the fact that the congresswoman continues to engage in this kind of behavior and this kind of speech is very disturbing. and the fact that the -- that she continues to get support from fellow members of the squad. fellow members of the democratic party, in a way is indicative to me of a very dangerous effect that's going on where we might see the issue of israel and our alliance with it and our alliance with the jewish people historically here in america becoming a. >> morgan: mono partisan issue. ing alliances something i would hope receives much stronger

condemnation from the leadership of the democratic party. along the line of what we saw from bill clinton and sister soldier moment and historically been an element of leadership within that party. >> bret: trey? >> trey: yeah, bret. i see it a little bit differently. i think she is an answer to prayer. because when republicans do and say stupid things, we can always count on her saying something dumber and taking us off the front page. what i fear are the smart, reasonable democrats like harold ford jr., jim himes, kyrsten sinema, that's what i fear. the anti-jewish, anti-american, anti-cop democrats like representative omar, i hope she lives and serves forever because she is the best hope we have at retaking the house. >> bret: well, there is a different look at it all right. stand by, when we come back, tomorrow's headlines tonight with the panel. ♪ i booked our hotel on kayak. it's flexible if we need to cancel. cancel. i haven't left the house in a year. nothing will stop me from vacation.
