>> harris: a busy hour with the president speaking from the oval office today with the president of south korea. a lot of news made. we will continue to cover it here right on fox news channel, fnc for the cool kids. >> dana: fox news alert. we have a better idea about president trump's view on north korea after he and south korea's president addressed the white house press for 40 minutes in the oval office. hello, everyone. i'm dana perino. this is "the daily briefing". the two leaders discussing the planned june 12 summit between trump and north korean leader, kim jong un. the president saying it would be in the north korean's interest to come to the table and also suggesting that the meeting could be delayed. >> president trump: i have strong opinions that north korea has a chance to be a great company and it can't be a great country under the circumstances they are living now. but north korea has a chance to be a great country.

and i think they should seize the opportunity and we'll soon find out if they want to do that. >> dana: john roberts has more. john, you were there in the oval office. you tell me, do you think the summit is going to happen? >> well, the president himself told me on the way out he thought it was 50/50. last week when we were in the oval office with him he asked me on the way out what do you think of north korea? he said i think it's a coin toss. i sad today, do you still think it's a coin toss? he said yeah, he thinks it's probably 50/50. the president has been optimistic up until today about the possibility of a summit. but we know what north korea said last week, canceling the planned meetings with south korea. although it seems like those meetings with moon jae-in may go ahead sometime in the next week. the president saying last week well, we don't really know what the north koreans are up to but we are still making plans. today he suggested that there is a very real possibility it

won't happen on june 12. listen here. >> president trump: we are working on something. you know, there is a chance that it will work out. there is a chance, a substantial chance that it won't work out. i don't want to waste a lot of time. i'm sure he doesn't want to waste a lot of time. there is a very substantial chance it won't work out. that's okay. that doesn't mean it won't work out over a period of time. but it may not work out for june 12. >> john: may not work out for june 12. the president said maybe it will work out later. the president went further down the road as well in saying he didn't like the outcome of the may 8 meeting that kim jong un had with president xi jinping in the chinese port city. he said he knew about the first meeting they had in beijing but this second one was a surprise. he said he noticed that there was a change in tone from north korea. he is wondering if xi jinping got in kim's ear and said look, you better slowwalk this thing with the summit and the

president of the united states because he is going to want to get you to give up the nuclear weapons. which is why we saw president trump last week and again today, dana, saying directly to kim jong un. listen, i will guarantee your security. both in terms of the nation itself and your personal security. we will guarantee that you will stay in power and guarantee that your economy flourishes. he went so far to say he knows south korea and china are willing to put a lot of money to north korea to turn the economy around from the path it's been on now. so this is not live pictures. this tape from a while ago. but moon jae-in the president drove by me before i came on the air but this is a taped playback. oh, actually, that is going in. his arrival. i got the wrong information there. but at any rate, dana, the president is trying to say to kim jong un come meet me in singapore june 12. it will be nothing but good for you if you do but also

reiterating he has to give up the nuclear program if he wants anything out of this. >> dana: the guarantees are interesting. we should explore those in the next few weeks but i want to ask about the question to him about the korean reunification. he is there with the south korean president who is very keen to see this deal worked out. what did he tell you? >> john: this is the first time the president ever talked about this. there are two ideas of the korean reunification. the south's idea of unified korean peninsula being a capitalist-oriented free market economy. then you have north korea's interpretation of what the vision of reunification should look like. i put the question to the president today, what he saw as the long of term vision for these talks with north korea? did he see two koreas coexisting peacefully or did he think that the north korean and south korean reunification

could be a good idea? listen to how he answered. >> president trump: i think what will happen is you start off with to koreas and it's largely up to them whether or not they get together. i see two crees and ultimately maybe some -- i see two koreas and ultimately maybe in the future they will get together and you would go back to one korea. >> john: president trump said he would like to see a unified korea but only if north and south korea agreed that that is what they wanted to do. this is a sensitive issue, particularly with china. >> dana: john, thank you for the robert. we appreciate it. the north koreans inviting a small group of foreign journalists to witness a destruction of the primary nuclear test site. military analysts like general jack keane remain skeptical. >> given a widely held view that this nuclear test site collapsed as a result of the last major nuclear test that they conducted back in december, that it is probably

a p.r. stunt. therefore, the site is not usable anyway and they are trying to advertise it that they are dismanting the nuclear -- dismantling the nuclear test site to demonstrate they're serious about denuclearization. >> dana: dennis wilder is professor of asian studies at georgetown university and the former director of east asian affairs at the national security council. i am glad you are here today. you are the perfect guest on the perfect day to talk about it. you know each of the countries individually but you look at the region of a whole and you know the united states position. so let me give you the floor to give me your impressions after the president's meeting today with the president of south korea in the oval office. >> i think the president is making some very smart moves here to be careful about the summit. the north koreans clearly are feeling their oats a bit and they are going back to the old style. in part, the president is

right. because xi jinping has started to talk about the economic development with the north and the north is feeling like they have their back covered by the chinese. so now the president watching that is realizing that he has to put the pressure back on the chinese and on the north koreans. so what he is saying is what we should be saying, which is hey, we will have this meeting if the terms are right. if the terms aren't right, we can wait. one thing in the past we have seen is the american negotiators with the north koreans too eager to find a way to get a deal. when we do that, they take us for a ride and they have taken us for several rides in the past. i think the president is signals -- go ahead. >> dana: i want to ask you about the south koreans. because in this scenario it seems like they are very eager and today in the "washington post" there was an op-ed by the sacken ambassador -- south

korean ambassador of the united states. "we cannot afford to lose hope that kim may choose a different past from his father or his grandfather, unlike in the past. we have seen and are about to see diplomatic actions on the highest level among the main countries involved." what do you think of the dynamic of what the south koreans want and what the chinese want and the president saying look, i'm not coming over there, i'm not going to waste my time and fly to singapore for nothing. but the south koreans are keen to get this done. >> i was actually glad that the north koreans if you will popped the bubble of the south koreans a little bit by refusing to have the meetings and by refusing to have the south korean reporter goes to the test site. i think south korea was getting way out on its skis on this. and way too believing that there is a change in north korea. i do think kim 3.0 is different than the kim 2.0 and 1.0. he did study in switzerland.

he is internet savvy. i think he is thinking if he got the right deal for his people there is the possibility that he would give up the nuclear weapons. i'm not as convinced as some people he would never give them up. >> dana: but it is different for him in that he has the nuclear weapons. the two previous kims did not. >> right. >> dana: let me ask about one other thing, china. the president talked about that before i let you go. i want you to listen to this because the president was obviously as john roberts reported not that happy with how china may have weighed in here. listen. >> president trump: no, not really. i think that they're a start. but we need something. look. china has been -- i really call it a "dereliction of duties" to take advantage of us on trade the way we have been taken advantage of. china has an example has made a fortune. i mean a transfer of wealth like nobody has seen in

history. they are the big one. they are almost all bad but china is the big one. i'm not satisfied but we will see what happens. >> dana: tell me what you think about that, dennis. >> these trade negotiations are tough. it's between the world two largest massive economies. now the chinese i think are coming in trying to low ball the united states. i think the president's right to say we are not going to take crumbs off the table again. you have done well off the markets. you do well every year off the market. what are you going to give us in return and how do we make it a fair reciprocal relationship? he came and put a few things on the table. more agricultural purposes and more l&g purchases from the united states. but they didn't talk about the structural change in the relationship that needs to happen. so american companies get a fair shake and the american

worker gets a fair shake. that what needs to happen. >> dana: john roberts asked the president and the president said he thinks whether the meeting takes place on june 12 is a con flip, 50/50. what do you put it? >> i think its a little higher. 60/40 but it is close to that. >> dana: dennis wilder, thank you. rare cooperation between democrats and the republicans as congress takes a first step to improving the nation's prison system. republican in the house who introduced a bill to do just that will join me live. plus, president trump meeting with the deputy attorney general as he demands answers about the russia investigation. >> if they had spies in my campaign, during hi campaign for political purposes, that would be unprecedented in the history of our country. it's just a burst pipe, i could fix it. (laugh)

no. with claim rateguard your rates won't go up just beacuase of a claim. i totally could've...

>> president trump: if they had spies in my campaign, that would be a disgrace to my country. that would be one of the biggest insults that anyone has ever seen and it would be illegal aside from everything else. i would make probably every political event ever look like small potatoes. >> dana: president trump discussing the use of a confidential informant during the early stages of robert mueller's russia investigation, which was a focus of his meeting yesterday with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, f.b.i. director christopher wray and others. michael moore is a former u.s. attorney for the middle district of georgia but here in new york today and we are glad to have you here. >> good to be here. >> dana: let me ask you about the process. some critics say president trump was overstepping the line when it comes between some sort of separation between the justice department and the white house. but the president is a chief executive officer and he oversees the justice

department. >> there is a real history of having a separation there. you want an independent justice department to do investigation without political pressure. lady justice is blind. if they don't take a stand because they want to get to the facts. what is interesting here, it may not be illegal he came and asked for the investigation but it was probably ill-advised. he is already under investigation for the potential obstruction charges and dealing in some part with how he handled jim comey and the pressure he put there so he is calling the deputy attorney general back to the white house and the new director of the f.b.i. and talking to them about a request for another investigation. it could be seen as if he is trying to steer it one way or another. >> dana: rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general says fine, i will ask the inspector general michael horowitz who has a good reputation. >> he does. >> dana: people think he is fair. >> right. >> dana: we expect any minute now this report from him about the clinton e-mail investigation and how the f.b.i. handled that. in the meantime, rod rosenstein has said while you are add it, add this to your

plate. how long -- this is endless. is the investigation endless? >> that is a good point. they have asked that the investigation wrap up and giuliani came out saying it would wrap up by september. but now they throw something else in the mix. so that keeps it alive. i think that is a problem for the administration. it sort of keeps the story alive. at the same time we are talking about other things like whether or not there is a spy which i think is sort of a ridiculous proposition. but whether or not there is a spy in the trump campaign. versus some of the things that the special counsel already found out. >> dana: do you think -- i don't know whether they are splitting hairs. or maybe we don't know enough information. is it true that president trump if he wanted to could declassify all of this information and just get it out there and then everybody can do their own investigation? >> well, the president has the authority to declassify things. there are a lot of things he could do. we talked before this is a money case. we are following the money when we talk about the crux of the investigation. he could let the tax returns

out. there are things that could be done to shorten the investigation but this activity and the suggestion we move forward and now with the house republicans coming out to want an additional special counsel. >> dana: i want to ask about that. listen to congressman zeldin from new york who is calling for a second special counsel with 12 other republicans on the house side. listen. >> these are historic, legendary agencies that require transparency and the accountability requiring what took place. we learned the d.o.j. or the f.b.i. or both appear to have planted at least one person into donald trump's presidential campaign to infiltrate and surveil the campaign. this action alone reminds us of how necessary this resolution is and as well as the appointment of a special counsel. >> dana: i have heard people say be careful what you wish for if you ask for another special counsel. does it make everything play out longer? >> i think it does. wing thing we will talk, one thing that republicans in the house are upset about is the fisa application and whether or not the application process was appropriate for the information to be used.

i think that is a bad thing for them because a judge has already found the information was credible enough to issue the order. it's not like the department grabbed a piece of paper and signed off on it. what happens is now we will prolong the investigation, we are going to get back to things maybe plow over some ground that has been passed over to this point. >> dana: you worked at the justice department, you were a u.s. attorney, man of the law. are you concerned, though, because the f.b.i. seems to be so wrapped up and unable to defend itself or to talk about these things because the investigations are ongoing that the damage to the credibility is going to be long lasting? >> i think so. the f.b.i. has a great history of being one of the strongest investigative agencies in the world. and these continued knocks against the credibility of the f.b.i., the leadership has been a problem and it was a problem when the president was attacking james comey as we have gone through. so i worry about that. i think you have great professionals there who are going to do their job and they historically do it. the f.b.i. is just like other

elements of the justice department. we don't talk about cases while they are going on. >> dana: this is why this is frustrating because i worked at the justice department. there is a lot a lot of us don't know so i don't pretend to know. michael moore, thank you. new developments in the case of a police officer killed after being run over by a vehicle. what we are learning about her and the four people arrested. plus the governor of texas addressing gun safety minutes from now four days after the latest deadly school shooting as we learn more about the shootout between the police and the killer.

killed in the line of duty on monday. baltimore police say that four-year veteran amy caprio was responding to a suspicious vehicle call when one of the suspects drove right at her. authorities say they captured three other young men this morning in connection with her murder. all four are teenagers. one of them is already charged with first-degree murder. horrible. we are now minutes away from the governor of texas holding a round table discussion on school safety. just days after eight students and two teachers were killed at santa fe high school. we are also learning more about the victims and the heroism on that day. casey stegall is live in santa fe. there is some activity at the school today? >> yeah, dana, some students are being let back inside, at least certain areas of santa fe high school back here to retrievallables, keys, cell phones, things that may have been -- retrieve valuables,

keys, cell phones, things that may have been left behind. the middle of the school is a crime scene and they are off-limits but they are escorting the students one on one. no cameras or cell phones allowed to be brought in. as this happens here, in austin now 160 miles away at the texas state capital, governor greg abbott is convening special round table discussions. we heard him talk about those. mix of the republican and the democratic lawmakers, educators, supporters of the second amendment to even brainstorm and develop what abbott calls "swift solutions" for making sure this is not repeated at any other texas school. remember ten were killed here last friday. eight students, two teachers. 13 more were hurt. >> dana: since you have been on the ground there, casey, give us a sense, how is everyone doing at the school?

>> well, you know, they are broken. they are heart- -- and their heart-breaking stories continue to come out as the parents, the friends and clergy start to share more about the horrors and the heroism that took place on this campus last friday. at a memorial service for christian riley garcia, his pastor said he had a strong faith, not typical of most 15-year-olds. adding he and his mother sent thursday night reading scripture together. friday morning he went to school. pastor keenan smith says we know the rest of that. >> i was with the mother when she was told this news that he was holding the door shut, trying to give others time to get away and of course, a shot came through the door and took his life. >> out of 13 injured one is critical. this man, john barnes. the school resource police

officer shot while trying to engage the shooter. the sheriff of this county saying that the casualty count would have likely been higher if it were not for his response, the other human -- the safety resource officer here by engaging the suspect and convincing him to surrender. dana? >> dana: all right, casey. thank you. so it's primary day in four key states and we are live in georgia as voters choose a candidate to run for governor in november. plus, claims that paul ryan could leave his position early are being shut down by the house speaker himself. >> the memories brought to me in this job because of who i am and what i stand for. members agree what we should do is complete the agenda and our work. hello mom.

to john kerry. and we have the opinion at the fox -- times and good friends. we are glad to have you here. are if stories about the possibility of paul ryan being forced are a perennial, every tuesday it will come out? >> without a doubt. it's an odd situation. it is sort of -- and he said it himself as you say, announcing that he wasn't going to run again but that he would hold on to the speakership. it's never a fun time to be speaker of the republican party. but he had to be dragged kicking and screaming in the position. i think it would be smart for the republicans if they present a positive, concrete agenda that they can run on. i think a new face would go a long way toward doing that. >> dana: i know that the democrats have been in the lead on the generic ballot for

most of the year but the margin is narrowing. we also have reports today that the cook political report is moving four seats toward the republicans from tossups to lean "r"s or even solid "r"s. what do you make what is happening to the democrats here? >> i'm not a big fan of the generic ballot nationally. i think you have to look at the individual races. you are right. charlie cook's report did move some of those but i think the fact is democrats are outraising, turning out in record numbers and a lot of women candidates and the voters want to elect women candidates this year. i think the only place are you are seeing problems and they are on the screen. california 39 and 49 and i'd add california 38 where they have a jungle primary. where you have a lot of democrats running and that provides the opportunity for two republicans to top the ticket, shutting out democrats. so a lot of people are looking for democrats who are lower in the poll numbers to drom

out -- drop out. that is the challenge. otherwise i feel good if the election is on the up and up about the democrats winning back the house. >> dana: we might have to have you back to talk about that. the integry till of the elections was a subject of this morning. charlie, super pac fund raising up for the 2016 election cycle. both parties from the official parties raising what they can. look at the democrats up $207 million to the republicans $191 million. over at the r.n.c. they would bost they raise more than the democratic national committee. this election will be a wash in money. >> yeah. absolutely. the intensity and the interest in the election on both sides is pretty high. but obviously, we have seen this in some of the special elections. the intensity on the democratic side is higher than we have seen in a very, very long time. the problem with it, though, unlike the intensity of like 2008 for president obama, the intensity this year among the

democrats hotly negative intensity. and while that is great for raising money, and it is going to help some candidates a whole, whole lot, it doesn't solve the problem that the democrats have what do they stand for in terms of, you know, across, in a bipartisan way? that is their challenge. >> dana: mary anne, we had an exchange last week we talked about dana millbank of the "washington post" saying 2018, maybe the democrats can do it? what dough you do in 2020 -- what do you do in 2020? but maybe you don't worry about that. gas prices across the country are going up. certainly for any administration, republican or democrat when that happens, that is a concern. states where average gas is above $3, pennsylvania, connecticut, and then most of the west out there. your thoughts on that? >> it cost me $6020 -- $60 to fill up on sunday.

this is the highest gas. and for some people that offsets any tax plan they got under the trump tax plan. so a lot of people like to get out 57 drive they will see the higher gas prices and higher prices across the board on the consumer goods and others because of the trade wars that is brewing. so for the average american living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to make ends meet, this hurts a lot. >> dana: charlie, you covered many administrations. if you have gas prices that are high, it is hard to make the turn right away. >> and frankly, this sort of makes the argument that you hear from the democrats more often than the republicans. that you know, doing these taxing, the high taxes and the environmental legislation that they all support tends to raise gas prices so this is a hard thing for the democrats

to capitalize on. >> dana: we'll see how it goes. thank you for being here. >> you bet. >> dana: this is primary day in four key states including georgia where the voters are deciding on the candidates for governor in november. jonathan serie is large near gainesville. how talked about it with us last week. how does it look today? >> hi, dana. you can see the voting taking place at the precinct in flowery branch, georgia, as we speak. the five republican candidates are going through the campaign trying to rally the social conservatives to the poll. secretary of state brian kemp running provocative ads. earlier in year, casey cagle making headlines when he threatened to kill a tax break for delta in retaliation for the airline decision to sever ties with the n.r.a. state senator michael williams taking on illegalm gration branding the campaign bus as a deportation bus.

this smarked -- this parked some protest. >> both parties are struggling with their identity and struggling with what they stand for. apart from president trump. so there is still a contest about which ideas, which constituencies should be targeted. >> so let's look at the democrat side. you have two candidates with the same first name and similar platforms. former state representative stacey abrams and representative stacey evans. despite the similarities they adopted different campaign strategies. >> stacey evans has a conventional platform to appeal to the people who steadily fled to the party. and abrams is going after the left-leaning voters and rarely if ever cast ballots in elections. >> whichever strategy prevails will likely inform democrats going in the 2020 presidential race.

back to you. >> dana: indeed. jonathan, thank you so much. so it is something that has the fans and potentially some states seeing a lot of dollar signs. the supreme court opening the door to legalized sports gambling across america last week. the big we now is what is next? adam shapiro of the fox business network joins me. i need this explained to me and i need to understand how big this is. this is a lot of money. >> hundreds of billions of dollars. think about thanksgiving, the pumpkin pie comes out. who will get the biggest piece? that is what the fight will be about. will the sports league get the biggest piece? or will the people who game as the gambling associations like to call it? the people who gamble, will they get the biggest piece? already you have people like roger goodell from the nfl saying look, we want congress to step into this. he issued a statement where he said we are asking congress to enact uniform standards for states that choose to legal ease sport -- legalize sports betting. he puts forth principles, one is protect content and the

intellectual property for those who attempt to steal it. they want a cut of the pie. so when states allow it they want to be paid for it. >> dana: i thought the supreme court was saying that the constitution says that the states go et to decide this. >> yes. >> dana: so is congress going to try to pass a law if the supreme court said no go? >> the supreme court didn't say no go. because congress for instance, orrin hatch chairman of the senate finance committee but retiring at the end of the year. orrin hatch is going to introduce legislation to do what roger goodell and the other sports leagues want. but they will use a term you will hear a lot. "integrity fee." their percentage. they want 1% of every dollar bet in every state to go to the leagues. they say it will be used to monitor and make sure nobody is breaking the rules or perhaps cheating. but that is a lot of money. in new york alone that could be $4 to $10 million. >> dana: who does monitoring? >> that is a question that is up for grabs. according to the nfl, law enforcement will be doing it. but when you hear the other

leagues like the nba talk about the integrity fees, they too, will do monitoring to make sure. remember it was the players who threw the world series in 1919. >> dana: all right. adam shapiro, thank you for this. we have to stay on it. big deal. >> a lot of money. >> dana: i know a lot about sports. action on capitol hill on prison reform with the house lawmakers preparing to vote on the first step act. we'll talk to the congressman who introduced it. >> we want more prisons to take charge of their own lives. then we should work to give them the tools to stand on their own two feet. hey shrimp fans - this one's for you.

it's red lobster's create your own shrimp trios. pick 3 of 9 new and classic creations for just $15.99. try new creations like savory crab-topped shrimp, and parmesan truffle shrimp scampi. but hurry, shrimp trios ends may 27th. i'm in for shepard smith and we are waiting for the white house briefing slated for the top of the hour. it's the first since president trump suggested the meeting with the north korean dictator might be delayed. we are also expecting questions about the reports that the f.b.i. had spies following the president's campaign. we'll see what the white house has to say about that.

it's all coming up when i fill in on "shepard smith reporting". >> dana: unprecedented move by china. the country is reportedly planning to scrap limits on the number of the children a family is allowed to have. currently, families can only have up to two kids. the four decades' old policy spurred countless human right abuse claims and the experts say the chinese government has concerns about falling birthrates and rapidly aging population. fox news alert and live to capitol hill as we await a vote on a bill to reform the prison system. the first step act would allocate $50 million a year for five years on program to reduce recidivism and allow prisoners to earn credit to end sentences early and man tate prisoners to be placed within 500 driving miles of the fair family. it would ban shackling women

who are pregnant or who has just given birth. we obviously need to change that. joining me now the congress who introduced the bill, doug collins, who sits on the judiciary and the rules committee. do you think the bill will pass today? what do you think the immediate effect might be for people out there? >> it will pass today. we will send it to the senate where they have an identical version there and see the work in the senate. this affects people today. if my partner in this, jeffries, the cosponsor says it helps people who are incarcerated today. people who are in cells today, how do we help them get skills to get back in society and not come back to jail? that is what we are looking at. >> dana: part of the opposition to this is not that they don't he it -- don't think it would do good things but they are afraid if the bill was passed you wouldn't get the overall sentencing reform they want. long to the congressman from new york who spoke earlier.

>> despite the bill's good incentive the new incentive sentence for the prereleased credit could exacerbate the racial biases. unlike the previous criminal justice effort is not balanced with the necessary reforms to the federal sentencing system. i whole heartedly support provisions in the current version, such as banning shackling of women prisoners and enhance compassionate release. but unfortunately the good provisions do not outway the harmful provisions contained elsewhere in the bill. >> dana: congressman, could you tell me, how do you defend the bill especially talking about the bias that could exacerbate the problem, according to nadler. >> he said it may do this. he doesn't have a good answer. right now he is voting no so women will still be shackled while they give birth. he is voting no to compassionate release and fixing good time credit. he is voting no against the good he talked about on the

possibility of something that he determines may be bad. capitol hill is about the art of the possible. the president laid forth and saying it's time to give the tools to these inmates so when they get out they can have productive lives. it's beyond me if someone would like more. i would like to see sentencing reform and other things but this is about the art of the possible. to vote no today, make it clear, you are voting no saying you support the policies because you are not willing to move toward on a bill which we have before us now. >> dana: you say it will pass the house. tell me about your plans to try to help get it through the senate which is always a little bit more difficult. >> we have started. senator cornyn have been stalwarts on this. they know we want to see more and to see a bigger bill. but this again goes to the art of the possible. the president supports this. jared kushner has been a great help to get the administration on board. house and senate working intricately together. i think we will see a good

result when we over there. there could be dealings in sliver process but we feel good about getting it out of the house and getting it to the senate. >> dana: in the home state, there is a primary election. i know that social issues are certainly important on the republican side of things. is this something that you think should be part of the republican platform going forward? i mean it really is smacks to me, reminds me of compassionate conservative and it seems to make a lot of sense if we want to help people not return to prison after they do their time and they get out. >> why would we not give them tools to not come back to prison? over 90% of the people who go to prison will come home. the question then become what is i said many times is a m&m issue, it's a money issue. georgia, oklahoma, texas, kentucky, many of these have done this where we see not only a savings in the incarceration dollars but we are seeing a better recidivism rate where they get jobs and

become mothers, sons, fathers, husbands again. this is something to come forward on. this is what the conservatives believe in redemption. they believe in a second chance. they believe that the government ought to do what it is supposed to do and give people the tools to be all i believe god created them to be. >> dana: congressman doug collins, thank you for coming on. >> thank you much. good to see you. >> dana: a first for the stock exchange. what the wall street institution has never done before in the 226-year history. plus, starbucks does a complete 180 on the bathroom policy after the controversial arrest of two black patrons. what customers are saying now. hey! we didn't have a homeowners claim last year so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. well, that seems fair. we didn't use it. wish we got money back on gym memberships.

>> dana: the new york stock exchange making history, naming stacy cunningham to be the next president.

she will be the first woman to lead the exchange in 226 years and she starts the new job on friday. the 43-year-old had been the chief operating officer of the nyse group and she started her career there in 1994 as an intern. we could learn a lot from her. starbucks rolling out the welcome mat to everyone. the coffee chain's new policy allows the public to sit in the cafe and use the restrooms with no purchase necessary. the change comes after two african-american men were arrested in philadelphia store. setting off a firestorm of reaction over racial bias. christina is outside of a starbucks in new york city. christina? >> yes, and you don't have to get a vente or a pumpkin spice latte to sit in starbucks or use its bathroom. this is because starbucks is trying to be more inclusive. like you mention in april, there were two african-american men who were seated in a starbucks. they refused to buy any products. the employee did call the

police on the two african-american men. so that created a big social media uproar. and then recently, actually, about five days ago there was another situation with a starbucks employee that wrote a racial slur on a cup to a customer. what we do know, though, from this starbucks location -- i'm in downtown manhattan right now. customers seem to be overwhelmingly positive regarding the guest policy change. listen in. >> i'm in and out of starbucks so i never sit in there so it doesn't really affect me. >> this is a private business. if that is what they want to do and they are being accommodating, good for them. >> ridiculous thing. this is what the country is down to, someone's bathroom? c'mon! >> i need to reface we -- preface we are at a midtown location. this is where people come in and out. this is not the study crowd or the entrepreneur crowd. i had comments on twitter, the viewers upset saying they are worried about concern that starbucks will turn in a haven

for drug users. that is a concern for customers going forward. we know that next tuesday starbucks will be hosting a racial media or a racial bias sensitivity training for all customers. over 8,000 stores will be shut for half a day next tuesday in order to train employees regarding racial bias. back to you. >> dana: all right. thank you. take a look at this. a live look at the white house as sarah sanders is about to take the podium. we will go there live as soon as the briefing starts and talk about a baby boom, why a firehouse is stocking up on diapers. prudential asked these couples: how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement.

prudential. bring your challenges.
