i'm john roberts in for bret baier. president trump says the immigration system is full and the u.s. cannot take in any more people. the president is in california at this moment. he is wrapping up a tour of a section of border fencing after taking part in a round table on immigration and border security. the visit comes as the president continues to threaten mexico with tariffs or a border shutdown if it does not improve security on its side. correspondent kristin officialer is in calexico, california right now. hi, kristin. >> john, the white house says this is the first finished section of the president's border wall. it's 30 feet tall. about 2 miles long. the original plans actually date back to the obama administration. it wasn't funded until president trump took office, which is why there is now a plaque on the wall with his name on it. >> we expect to have close to 400 miles done within about three years from now. >> president trump is putting a timeline on his plan to get his border wall built despite a new laws

bret baier covered the afghan war for fox news. >> there have been more explosive devices in afghanistan in the past few weeks. >> as the afghan war pressed on u.s. forces continued to battle taliban insurgence. while covering the war sometimes danger came too close. >> steve explain once again who is shooting at whom behind you. >> the positions are about -- >> get down over there. when president barack obama entered the white house, he promised to add resources to afghanistan where u.s. casualties were increasing. >> it is in vital national interest to send additional 30,000 u.s. troops to afghanistan. >> six months later general david petraeus architect of the surge took command of forces replacing general stanley mccrystal. when the war hit its tenth year u.s. troop levels peaked at attack navy seals killedr the osama bin laden. bret baier spoke with general at headquarters about obama's and nato's intention to draw down surge forces. >> matters to have afghans forces in the country by the end of 2014. >> and they did, on december 28th, 2014 the united states and nato forces formerly

we have bret baier all in d.c. let's start with catherine herridge. she's been reading all of this as fast as she can and digested it so well for us. >> reporter: good afternoon. we spent a lot of time in the last few hours looking at the issue of obstruction but it's worth dipping into part one which is on collusion and in fact that's the largest part of the mueller report. it's nearly 200 pages and has the most redances because it deals with classified information. you won't find a chapter devoted to the dossier. the reason i note that is because that was one of the drivers of the counter-intelligence information by the fbi and used for the warrant in 2016. there was an information operation from the russians and lots of outreach to members of the trump campaign. what the special counsel found was quote, though the investigation establish the russian government perceived it would benefit from a trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome the campaign would benefit from information stolen released through russian efforts the investigation did

here is bret baier, anchor of "special report". chris wallace anchor of "fox news sunday" and shannon bream working late last night anchor of fox news at night. bret, i'll start with you, listening to ken starr a moment ago. a lot of thoughts what he is keying on today. what about you? >> this is 23 months in the making. 2300 subpoenas, 500 search warrants. it is all in 400 pages that we're going to see, at least a large part of we're getting word it is likely lightly redacted, not heavily redacted. we'll see as it comes out. the attorney general has testified there will be four areas he redacts. it will be a lot of the conversation, why was this part redacted and why wasn't it? already there is a dust-up of him having a press conference before the actual papers come out. people want to see it and be able to go through it to ask questions. but the bottom line is that no one has been indicted and now you are probably going to see a lot of focus on the obstruction part of this document because the bar for impeachment is lower than th

not surprisingly, bret baier and the audience was so smiley and nice. very strange." baier responding, "thanks for watching, mr. president. we cover all sides." >> all right, mary bruce live in washington tonight. and mary, the bernie sanders town hall getting the president's attention, but also the white house tonight focused on the mueller report. we know a redacted version set to be released on thursday morning. what are you learning tonight? how is the white house now preparing? >> reporter: well, david, tonight, there is already some discussion within the trump legal team about releasing their own counter-report, depending on what they see on thursday. trump's lawyer rudy giuliani says they could release their own roughly 35-page version. in the meantime, david, several outlets are already planning to publish the redacted mueller report as a book, and on am sohn tonight, it's already a best-seller. david? >> best-seller before it comes out. mary bruce, thank you. >>> next, to your health tonight, and new concern over the measles outbreak in this country. the cdc

bret baier, thank you very much. bret baier little bit later on with a lot more on this. adam schiff the chairman is speaking on this report. let's listen in. >> to mislead the country and interfere with the investigation. to make full statements to the american people and urge others to lie to the american people. to urge those of his staff to take actions to further obstruct the investigation which may have been refused but not refused to any goodwill or good motive on the president's part. far to the contrary. these actions have a material impact on the investigation that, in fact, the special counsel was deprived of information or at least the timely access to that information as a result of things that the president did and said. it made our child certainly and our committee during the investigation much more difficult as it did the special counsel of the investigation. those acts and obstruction of justice whether criminal or not are deeply alarming in the president of the united states. and it is clear special counsel mueller one of the congress to consider the rep

bret baier -- "that's not true." they said they had glenn simpson infusion gps on the kind of retainer but they did not fund the christopher steele memo of the dossier. that was initiated by the democrats. that's from the head of the fbi. >> katie: after seeing one more thing about this. the news here is that bill barr, the attorney general, confirmed that there was spying. >> melissa: we knew that. >> marie: that's not news. we knew carter page -- >> katie: not verified in testimony paired that's why the senator was so taken -- that's why she was so taken aback by saying, "you're not suggesting there was spying." that's the newsprint he was confirming, "yes, there was." because it was such a big deal to accuse the doj before of spying and now -- >> dagen: let me finish on the spread the problems with the democrat is that they asked that justice is served only if it is served their own interests, their own political -- they blew up all the programming on msnbc. >> pete: he went on to clarify -- >> melissa: really bac

this guy, bret baier, there he is. that looks like it will be a great event. one thing we consistently hear is that the 2020 candidates are not talking about the mueller report when they're out on the campaign trail. >> right, dana. listen, we're expecting a big event here tonight. you talked to howard schultz early, soon after he came out with his candidacy. we're hoping to get some substance on a number of issues. when the candidates are out talking, they're not spending a lot of time. when you poll, the mueller report doesn't poll high, as far as things people care about on the campaign trail. i think following up on catherine's story, the justice department wanted to jump on this on the record to counter anonymous sources. i think we have to see where this plays out because you had attorney general barr put out this letter to say, i'm working alongside special counsel mueller. there's not some giant conspiracy here. what is put out, or what should be redacted is including the special counsel. >> dana: i imagine -- i think you and i might have talked about

let's bring our own bret baier, always glad to have you on the show. so there is the report that doug had and then there's also this from the former solicitor general. he was there, and he tweeted this. just coming out of census argument scotus. interesting that trump solicitor general criticized several justices for the very same thing as ag barr criticized with a few select facts from the record and ignoring the rest. must be something in the water. so as these things go everyone tries to rebuild tea leaves of what the justices might do. >> bret: it's dangerous to do just by oral arguments. sometimes the justices have the way that they go about it by asking questions the other way, and they may come down on the actual case. that aside, they did seem that the conservative leading justices on the court are siding with the government and everything they are saying and asking and it looks like they could set up to a 5-4 ruling to allow the census question to go forward. his controversial, there's all kinds of pushback but the bottom line argument from th

eastern time, with bret baier and martha maccallum. we look forward to it. chair of the democrat house ways and means committee asking i.r.s. for six years of president trump's tax returns, setting up what could be explosive showdown with the white house. the president yesterday signalling he does not plan to cooperate. watch. >> pres. trump: usually it is 10, i guess they are giving up. we're under audit, despite what people said and we're working that out. i'm always under audit it seems, been under audit many years, the numbers are big and i guess when you have a name you are audited. but until such time as i'm not under audit i would not be inclined to do that. >> melissa: chairman of the tax writing panel richard neil says he has responsibility to ensure the i.r.s. is enforcing the law in fair and impartial manner. to be continued. a teenager found wandering in kentucky reportedly telling police he is this boy who disappeared nearly eight years ago. could this mystery finally be solved? plus, investigators releasing preliminary findings about the deadly

bret baier different than sean hannity. asking the president to come on his special report. when the president goes on fox, he goes on hannity. >> it's definitely the case that the likes of sean hannity are serving donald trump. they were completely trying to play into the president's narrative. i think tom perez has said, fox news is operating as a propaganda arm of this white house. >> we're not debating tom perez's strategy here, we're talking about what's in the interest of individual candidates. >> charlie sykes, what's your take on this, are there fox viewers democrats could win over by doing events like this? >> it wasn't really interesting, and i think donald trump's tweet was very revealing, he thinks he owns that fox network and the fox audience. it sounded like a very pro bernie sanders audience there. i'm not sure that was the fox audience. >> i think they intentionally created a mixed audience for this event. it wasn't a smart move, i think the other thing that probably rattled donald trump, is to recall he ran ads pretending to run as a populous, his record is

the first shot right there, bret baier, been there 23 times, at the pentagon. you look at the worst outcome of current cost, $851 billion, there are 14,000 troops currently still in afghanistan, you can look at the troop levels after they have gone up and down through the years, the peak at 110,000. after president obama's time in office. the casualties since 2001, 2283 u.s. military deaths, 20,449 total u.s. troops wounded in operation enduring freedom and operations freedom sentinel, the continuing operation. hard to believe that it has been that long. the longest war, and now we are looking at peace talks and a way to try to get out of there. >> yes, and we have been looking at that, the u.s. has been looking at that for a while, but not succeeded. at the trump administration is committed to doing that. president trump definitely wants u.s. troops to come home. he has made that clear from the very beginning. a candidate and now a president who does not like having u.s. troops in foreign wars, but it has been elusive and a tough one to fix. >> bret: i intervi

joining us now are bret baier and martha maccallum. they are moderating tonight's town hall with bernie sanders. i think it went pretty soft on bernie. what do you think? >> bret: would really like to have you here because obviously one through five sounds good to us. speak two different versions of those that you're going to hear tonight. >> bret: something like that. >> greg: let's go around the horn. >> dana: i have a question about the location because i think it's super interesting that where you are, there was a 13-point swing. obama voters in 2012 but by 13 points, trump motors in 2016. curious, i'm sure going to ask, if bernie sanders thinks districts like those that he thinks he can flip back. >> bret: i think it's one of the reasons he's doing this. pennsylvania has one of the swing -iest states. there are many trump voters who switched. they were democratic voters and they went to trump in 2016 and i think that's one of the reasons he's here. >> martha: if you look at the voters who were bernie supporters in the primary proc

i want to bring in cheap political anchor at anchor of the special report, bret baier. always good to see. everything is about politics, either it's 2020 leading up to the white house or the current members of congress among those democrats in the house who took majority. putting it through that prism, it is looking like the president has won on the issue of "you need to do something about the border." >> definitely. he's been talking about this a long time. as candidate, as president, and obviously made the declaration that it's a national emergency. but to have the former homeland security secretary, jay johnson, say that yes indeed this is a crisis of the border, it does change the dynamic a bit. others have said that, as well. if he does in fact close the border, seal it off, there are a lot of impacts here. economically, there's a lot of things that could happen. things that would be negative. it is spring action, it's getting eyeballs. with rickets mexico to change its policies, we will see. >> harris: is interesting you put it that way. because the financial pain

. >> martha: last night bret baier and i sat down with howard schultz on the 15th of april on tax day ironically we will sit down with bernie sanders who says that he is going to disclose 10 years of his tax records. but he was also asked about why he had decided to come on fox news, ashe. let's have that sound bite and i want to get your thoughts on that. are. >> are we going to see your tax returns. >> to me april 15th is coming. that will be the 10th year and we'll make them all public very shortly. >> what's all just so we know? >> martha: also play the one where he talks about fox news. >> are we going to see a tax return. >> sure, april 15th it's coming. that will be the 10th year and we will make them all public very short. >> i what's all so people know. >> 10 years. and by the way i'm delighted to do that proud to do that. hey, mr. trump. you do the same thing. >> martha: he is going to get his taxes out there. he wants mr. trump to do the same thing. and he thinks that it's important to reach out to fox news viewers because there is a lot of them. ashe and then karl? >> well

not surprisingly, bret baier and the audience were so smily and nice and now we have donna brazille and we will stick with and i know paul ryan joined the board of fox. what does it say about the relationship with them? >> maybe it's obvious and i think most of the reporting on the administration, they are irk withi with. but the part of fox news that trump really likes is, obviously, the primetime part. sean hannity and the opinion anchors and the folks on "fox & friends" in the morning remaining, quote, real journalists at fox news such as bret baier frustrate him greatly. the we was important and the we was telling but the most important word in that tweet was actually bernie. i think what that really highlights is how much bernie sanders decision to go on fox news. not just a master stroke because he sort of expanded his audience and sort of showed that he has appeal beyond the democratic base. i think also a way of going directly to president trump and getting under president trump's skin. >> let's stay right there. a huge audience and watching at home but the audience there was fi

i'm bret baier. >> martha: and i martha maccallum. incorporated you so much. great to have everybody here. behind us, as you can see, is the now shuttered bethlehem steel plant. >> bret: in its heyday the bethlehem steel plant blasts those furnaces and produced thousands of tons of steel a day. that steel built skyscrapers and helped the u.s. win two world wars. the plant closed in 1995. it really devastating was working class community. >> martha: now there is a new day dawning bethlehem economically and politically. here in northampton country -- northampton county, which is where we are, they voted for barack obama in big numbers and for the democrat all the way back to bush 41 actually, but it flipped the script in his county and they voted for donald trump in 2016 by a shift of nine points. >> bret: and that's one of the reasons we are here. senator sanders is hoping to get those voters back in the blue column. according to all recent polls, he is leading among declared democrat candidates. ladies and gentlemen, senator bernie sanders.

bret baier is with us, host of "special report" on the fox news channel. bret, am i completely out of bounds on this perceived shift in the politics here? >> no, stuart. good morning. i think you are exactly right. especially on the immigration front. the situation on the border, just by the stats, the numbers, the facts, while the president, the administration, republicans in support of his policies, have been talking about this for a long time, democrats have been pushing back saying there is no crisis at the border, it's made up, it's not a national emergency, and fought that order. the media was in lockstep with all of that. that has turned completely around. now some are saying well, yes, it's a humanitarian crisis. if you look at the numbers, it's a crisis, no matter how you want to characterize it, and you have the former homeland security secretary under the obama administration saying the same thing. on the tone on capitol hill, i think you're right that the focus has shifted and we're waiting on the mueller report which could happen any day, the

that surprised me, and i think it surprised bret baier. i'll say this, when i was on the presidential campaign for ted cruz, there were a lot of people on the campaign who didn't want to do msnbc. i advocated for msnbc, one, to be honest, they gave us what i considered the most fair coverage of the three networks. you always want to reach out and look at the prbroadest audience. why cut off an audience? it doesn't make sense from a political standpoint. >> i know joe has talked about this, we love bret baier and martha, along with shep. fox has some good people. here's the moment. mike, you can jump in. the exact moment where bret turned to the audience and wanted to get their reaction on these issues, especially as it pertained to bernie sanders. take a look. >> this audience has a lot of democrats in it. it has republicans, independents, democratic socialists, conservatives. i want to ask the audience a k question, if you can raise your hands. how many people get their insurance from work, private insurance, right now? how many get it fr

for more, i want to bring in fox news cheap with clinker and anchor of "special report," bret baier. bret, let's start here. what happens if the attorney general refuses to appear at hearing? >> well, harris, good afternoon. i think what happens as jerry nadler moves forward with a subpoena to the attorney general. and then there is a decision whether the to fight that subpa over the next step is. it sounds like the administration is kind of laying down the gauntlet on the number of fronts, as rich mentioned. and is ready to fight subpoenas about this. this has to do with questioning of the attorney general, and the justice department says he is ready to sit in front of this committee and have congress men and women asking questions. they would like to set it up as committee lawyers and staffers who have gone through all of this mueller report to the extent that they have. to do the questioning. that's where the sticking point is. i assume you're going to get a resolution when we were the other, whether it's a subpoena or the ag will be there. >> harris: i'm just looking at a kind of

bret baier with me now from d.c. good morning, to you. congratulations on the town hall the other night. you guys were awesome, a huge success. what are you hearing about the mueller report for tomorrow? >> it will be a blockbuster either way. there will be a lot of effort to comb through the 400 pages. obviously there will be a lot of redactions. the attorney general said there will be four different criteria he use toes do those redactions, which he has been working on with the special counsel. often gets overlooked when lawmakers on capitol hill talk about the redactions and how wrong it is they can't get a full, complete report. the special counsel, robert mueller, actively engaged with william barr on the redactions. i think there will be a race to go through it and a lot of focus on obstruction. >> bill: i've been speaking with a couple of people here in new york where they don't want to make themselves available for several days. they will lock themselves in the room tomorrow and friday and over the weekend until they get a chance

bret baier anchor of "special report". good morning to you. we expect tomorrow he officially announces. how do you think he changes this race, if at all? >> dramatically just by getting in. a lot of those early polls are about name recognition. his eight years as vice president and all of his time in public office. the issue for the biden folks is you don't want the first day to be the best day. and those polls the highest on that day as he gets -- wades deeper into the primary and behind the eight ball when it comes to raising money. he doesn't have the huge lists of small donors around the country. he starts with the traditional fundraising, bundlers who get money from big democratic donors, some who have already committed themselves to other candidates. there are uphill battles. clearly he is the best positioned to jump into the race and make a splash. >> bill: you see what the obamas said earlier today? they will not endorse in the primary season. >> it's significant. the guy was the vice president right here. just by not endorsing, that i
