Leland welcome to this special edition of of americas news headquarters at the quantico base as we honor those protecting our freedom around the world. Elizabeth im Elizabeth Prann in washington. Listen to that marine corps band in your introduction, its truly captivating and we see it across the district and obviously, all across the United States as we celebrate this very special weekend. Leland very special, indeed. Elizabeth and President Trump says a u. S. Citizen held in venezuela since 2016 is finally coming home. President trump tweeting out that joshua holt will be back in the United States by tonight. Ellison barber joins us live from the white house with the very latest. Hi, liz. Mr. Holt is originally from utah. He traveled to venezuela about two years ago to get married and then lived for at least a little while with his venezuelan wife, but they had barely begun their lives together when they were arrested on weapons charges. The u. S. Has long said the arrest was political. President trump says holt will be in d. C. At the white house with his family around 7 00 tonight. He made the announcement on twitter, writing in part, good news about the release of the american hostage from venezuela. The president also said on twitter that he was looking forward to seeing joshua holt and that the great people of utah are celebrating. All of this as the white house confirms the u. S. Team is headed to singapore this weekend to prepare for a potential summit with north korea. Press secretary Sarah Sanders says the white house preadvance team for singapore will leave as scheduled in order to prepare, should the summit take place. Before the president canceled the summit, two white house officials told fox news that a group of Top Administration aides would head to singapore to sort out all of the logistics for this meeting, but that, of course, became uncertain when the president canceled the summit on thursday, but just as quickly as the meeting collapsed and life was back into it with the north korean viceminister saying they were open to talks and the president calling the statement productive and also reopening the door for talks. Were going to see what happens. Were talking to them now. It was a very nice statement they put out. Well see what happens. When it comes to the back and forth between u. S. Statements, north korean statements, the president told a group of reporters yesterday that everyone plays games. Liz. Elizabeth all right, ellison barber with the latest. Leland as ellison just mentioned, joshua holt is expected to be back in the United States by this evening for a homecoming that has been a long time coming. Bryan llenas with the background on this story and what is finally bringing joshua home. 26yearold joshua holt and his wife are now free after they were imprisoned in venezuela on weapons charges for nearly two years. Back in june, 2016 he went to venezuela to marry tamara, a woman he meant online. They wanted to spend a couple of months in venezuela so tamara and her two daughters could get visas and move to the u. S. On june 30th he and his wife were arrested in an apartment complex in venezuela. The holt family says that venezuela authorities framed them bringing in a stockpile of weapons and grenades and placing them inside of his wifes apartments. They took photos for evidence and arrested them. They were accused of weapons charges and spying on behalf of the americans. Now, just last week, holt pleaded for help in a cell phone video message sent from inside a venezuelan jail where a riot had broken out. Im calling on the people of america, i need your help to get me out of this place. Ive been begging my government for two years and now, my life is threatened. How long do i have to suffer here . Holt and his wifes release came after Tennessee Republican senator bob corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee, met with venezuelas embattled president Nicolas Maduro on friday. Maduro just won reelection in a rigged election rejected by much of the world and recently expelled americas top american diplomate. Now, joshua holt is from utah and his senator, orrin hatch has been working tirelessly for his release. In a statement, hatch said, quote, over the last two years ive worked with two president ial administrations, countless diplomatic contacts, ambassadors from all over the world, a network of contacts in venezuela and president maduro himself, and i could not be more honored to reunite josh with his sweet, long suffering family in riverton. Now, hatch thanked corker for his work on this. Both holt and tammy as shes known are expected to arrive at the white house at 7 00 tonight. Leland what a homecoming it will be. We had a chance to have joshua holts mother on the show a couple of times, no sense, you dont have to explain the love that existed and fight to bring her son home. Well hear from her in the next couple of days. Bryan, thank you. Elizabeth thats not the only lead story were following, the leaders of north and south korea are gathering for a surprise meeting today for the second time in a month. Its an Important Development on the Korean Peninsula as President Trump suggests a june 12th meeting with a kim jongun could be back on. Greg palkot is live in seoul, south korea with the very latest. Elizabeth, amazing stuff. A saturday summit, instant surprise coming from the leaders of the two countries, north and south korea. The south korean president moon jaein, and leader kim jong, you know. Meeting against, and this time they met on the north side of the dmz. There was no warning, it was unannounced and they met for about two hours, we should get a full readout in a few hours time. According to moon, there was a frank, candid exchange of views about how it could be achieved, a successful summit being planned now between President Trump and north Korean Leader kim. As was noted, that summit was basically canceled by the white house and then revived again in the past week. Saturdays meeting is seen by some here as the clearest signal yet that a june 12 singapore session could be back on. And, yes, there are also reports that advance teams from both sides are now headed towards singapore. Remember, south korean president moon had a session earlier this week, with President Trump, there is some talk here today that he was carrying a message from trump to kim, but more importantly, moon has become really an important gobetween. Between the two sides. Could have been also looking to try to get a bit more of a commitment from kim jongun on denuclearization. We saw this week the north claiming that they dismantled their one known Nuclear Test Site in the northeastern part of the country. That was seen as a goodwill gesture, but there were no experts on the ground, no confirmation of that. Elizabeth, we can confirm that there was a very Important Development here on saturday, the two leaders getting together. There were hand shakes, there were hugs, there were smiles. Lets see if this lovefest turns into another more important summit, maybe some peace here, back to you. Elizabeth well be waiting with baited breath. Greg, appreciate it. Leland. Leland well, amid the tension this week, the American Military in south korea reminded the world, it is indeed ready to fight tonight. Yesterday, as President Trump shook the hands of more than 1,000 Naval Academy graduates he proclaimed an American Military resurgence around the world. Yes, theyre respecting us again. Yes, america is back. We have begun the great rebuilding of the United States milita military. And joining us now with more on the state of our military is colonel John Atkinson Commanding Officer of the headquarters and Service Battalion at Marine Corps Base quantico. Nice to be with you. Leland well get to the meaning of memorial day and the sacrifices you and your marines have made in a minute. First, the president is talking about the money flowing back into the u. S. Military. What does it mean for the marine corps, what do you need . When he said weve got to be ready to fight tonight and your u. S. Marine corps is ready to fight wherever were put into action. Weve been fight ago war the past 15 years and burning readiness and ammunition and weve also been observing peer and near peer competitors moving forward and imposing dilemmas for us around the globe. Leland when you see peer and near peer, thats no longer isis and alqaeda, thats china and russia. Thats correct, so isis and alqaeda and others are still significant threats to our nation, but clearly, russia and china are competitors and we are in a competition of wills with both of those nation states as we speak. Leland for so long doctrine in the American Military, you have to be able to fight two full scale desert storm size wars at once and we keep hearing that americas military isnt ready. How do you scare that with ready to fight tonight. If you have to fight, you fight, but youre not ready in the way you want to be . Well, youre never you dont get to choose the time and place when conflict is coming, but if youre paying attention and looking forward, the geo strategic situation and different activities going on in the world, you do the best you can with the the money now coming into the marine corps, what does it mean . Whats it going to . First of all, we can plan, weve got a budget we can plan off of and project next year. A strategic nation, and Strategic Forces to be able to plan. That money will allow us to replace broken equipment, fix broken equipment and modernizing, modernizing is not the right word, its developing a suitable force correctly aligned with what we project to be the threat in the place that we are going to fight. Leland and also having to continue the fight right now in afghanistan, in iraq, in syria, where marines are, at the same time planning for taking on china, russia and others. This statistic struck us. 14 of americas active ground battalions are marines. 25 of combat Tactical Air Power, 14 of Tactical Air Power comes from the marines and only 8 of the defense budget. Ill let you brag for a second here. How do you guys do it . Well, we do more with less. We teach that to Young Marines and lieutenants when they come in, but ive got to be honest, our next fight and the fight were in now is a joint fight and that 8 budget is small and we give more bang for the buck, but we dont go anywhere without the u. S. Air force, and were not going to fight in the china sea without the u. S. Navy. When we fight, its shoulder to shoulder and we need them there as well. Leland interestingly enough, a lot of the cadets the president was speaking to at the Naval Academy will show up for for the basic school. Thats right. Leland and signed up from the Naval Academy. After 14 years of america being at war, do you see a difference who is signing up from who enlisted in the 1990s when you did . Every generation is different. No, the young man and woman drawn to the marine corps is different out of the gates. We select by our reputation and what were asked to do. Were the first to fight. These young men and women put their hand up and swore, and when i swore the same oath, desert storm just ended and i thought my missed my generati generations war and boy with as i wrong. The marine enlisted today are as good as any, theyre more fit and smarters and fight wherever we send them, an Amazing Group of young men and women. Leland what a living memorial to that reputation and legacy thats here in quantico at the museum of the marine corps, a little about the training and the marines victory from the shores of tripoli to modern say. Sempra fidelis. Elizabeth there would be a force on a vote for Daca Recipients or dreamers. Thats a way from reality. And joining us now, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. Good morning, thanks for having me. Elizabeth first and foremost, were five votes away, lawmakers are on recess, so viewers know. Your confidence coming back if im not mistaken, until next week youre meeting again. For our viewers again, what exactly would you be voting on . You dont vote on Something Like if you dont know where the 218 votes are. This is to empower the speaker to bring something up. We talked about last year having a bill and the president may have us a march 5th deadline and we blew past that. Weve got to secure our border and give the president what hes asking for on 25 billion and have a permanent fix for dreamers. The discharge petition, the basic thing it does, puts forth a timeline to bring up the bills and have a full debate in front of the American Public. Elizabeth there are, if im not mistaken, four daca related proposals, thats what youre referring to, am i right . Yes, one the goob r Bob Goodlatte bill through the Judiciary Committee and one the speaker, the president s languages in there, the four pillars, whatever hed like. The clean dream act, the democrats put in and a very partisan border u. S. Security and fix for dreamers. Elizabeth a couple of things i want to address. I want to sound bite from ed rollins. The timing is what critics are saying. And i want your reaction. To me this is the most treacherous things these guys can do. The president out what he wants and he certainly has a show on this and if they dont give him that wall, hes going to veto this thing and why override a weak speaker and put this up and embarra embarrass republicans and everybody else. Elizabeth the reason i thought that was so important, you said specifically you want a goal thats permanent and you look at the timing and four pieces of legislation youd be discussing and how could that be resolved with this particular house . In this session . Well, certainly each one of these were set up to make sure that each one of these have the ability to amend themselves. Every author as the ability to amend the bills. In case of point, speaker has his own bill that he could put the president s language in. And there are four options. Not only do we want to pass a bill out of the house, we feel strongly, we want something the nate is force senate is force today take up immediately and the president will sign, which is Border Security and the fix. What is your biggest challenge . Is it the democrats in the house who are know the going to pay for funding for the wall or Freedom Caucus members . Who is going to really challenge you . Sure, there are challenges all over this. But i think its important to have the debate in front of the American Public and make sure that every district holds their do you want there are a lot of folks who are saying the timing is just, its not appropriate. The timing, yeah, i get it. We have twoyear terms, it would have been much better last year. It would have been much better a decade ago, but Neither Party has taken this up, and so absent the speaker bringing this up when we had the march 5th deadline, were forcing this to come up and now we actually have both parties talking together and working together to try to find a solution. Yeah, were going to have problems with the Freedom Caucus and there are members that are very concerned about the pathway to citizenship. There are some on the left that are very concerned about giving the president any win, let alone securing our border so some democrat want a complete open border. Elizabeth thats 2018 and if you do youll tout it as a victory, but i think the battle has just begin. Absolutely. Elizabeth well have you backment were curious to see how it works out. The real victory is finding a solution and getting this into law. Elizabeth i dont think that anyone disagrees with that. Thank you. Elizabeth thank you very much. Catch fox news sunday, chris hemmhem er bill hemmer is in for chris wallace. And bret baier talks about his new book and coverage of President Trumps Foreign Policy, thats tomorrow at 11 a. M. Eastern. Leland coming up today on this special memorial day edition of americas news headquarters, well bring you back to the National Museum of the marine corps and also inside debate here in quantico as we take you along for a hightech tour of a virtual shooting range where a mari marine gets the very best training possible as they prepare for realworld gun battles, whether in iraq or somewhere else against americas enemy. Everything familiar that marines would see on a battlefield in either iraq, afghanistan, asia, any battlefield you can think of, we can simulate it in here. Leland then marine veteran and now congressman Steve Russell joins us on whats being done to help our veterans as we return to the quantico, Virginia Marine Museum with the marine corps band. Alright, i brought in new max protein. To give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you dont. Ill take that. [cheers] 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. New ensure max protein. In two great flavors. New ensure max protein. Thanks for the ridealong, captain ive never been in one of these before, even though geico has been ohhh. Ooh ohh here we go, here we go. You got cut off there, what were you saying . Oooo. Oh no no. Maybe that geico has been proudly serving the military for over 75 years . Is that what you wanted to say . Mhmmm. I have to say, you seemed a lot chattier on tv. Geico. Proudly serving the military for over 75 years. You ok back there, buddy . But their nutritional needs remain instinctual. Thats why theres purina one true instinct. Real meat 1. A different breed of natural nutrition. Purina one true instinct. Now, try new purina one true instinct treats. And welcome back to the National Museum of the marine corps here in quantico, virginia. As we zoom out and take a look at the shape of this museum, you will notice a distinctive image that comes to mind and that is by design, not by accident, that is the same angle of the flagpole that was raised atop iwo jima by the marines back when they took that island at great cost to the marines and freed the way for americas b29s, not only to take off, but then to have a refueling spot as they headed back from Bombing Missions over japan, largely credited that island with, some ways, preventing the need for an invasion of japan. As we continue our memorial day weekend show here from quantico, virginia. Liz. Elizabeth and i think its fitting that youre there, leland. Obviously, there are celebrations across the district and across, obviously, the United States this weekend, but the rich history that is there with quantico, i mean, if you look at its involvement even in the revolutionary war, i think its quite fitting that youre there and youre probably hearing that from a lot of folks around quantico, how much history in this part of the country and right where you are as it weaves into history and men and women who have lost their lives defending our freedom. Leland well, it is, of course, the history that is involved here, and looking forward with the training of new marines that happens here, all marine officers come through the base here at quantico, as you talk to marines here, and theres a lot of them around this weekend with us, they tell you, that this is part a celebration of their friends who died in battle and part a memory and they want americans to not only remember the sacrifices, but celebrate the freedoms that they are ready and willing to protect. In addition to taking on terrorists in syria, iraq, and afghanistan, the next generation of marines must be ready to fight russia in western europe or on the korean dmz. We got an inside look how young officers here at quantico are getting that training and can move from each theater of war as quickly as rebooting a computer. Using this where you train in realtime, real world, you can have role players out there, things like that, but youre not using real ammunition or really shooting people, its more like bangbang cowboys and indians from sixth grade. Leland to the untrained eye, you look at this, were in a warehouse, and lights and air conditioning and everything is set, whats the big deal, it doesnt feel like combat. Why does this feel like combat . With the exception of actually being out in the elements elements, this is as close to the real thing. It forces you to go through the steps to go through with combat. We have an impressive sound system that simulates the sounds of combat. If you have one training facility, you can only rotate xamounts of marines and that decreases our timeline. If we have a simulation like this, more can go through there fear increasing the readiness to deploy. Leland as the world conflicts change, the weapons havent changed, its the way you use them has changed. Thats true. Rules of engagement change constantly, theater to theater. And the weapons change to enforce the will of the American People and the directives of the commanderinchief have changed. Leland also a virtual range is saving money, liz. Its stunning how many more rounds you can fire to the tunes of savings of millions of dollars on that range, as opposed to marines firing only the necessary number of rounds to qualify on their weapons. It turns out the marine corps saves tens of millions of dollars now on ammunition because the computer simulation you just saw. Elizabeth truly adapting there and always ready and we talked about readiness with colonel atkinson. The first named storm of the season is chugging towards the gulf of mexico. Ad ad adam is standing by with a look for your memorial day plans. In south florida, im going to be tracking its movement coming up later in the show. Mom . Dad .

Meantime, this memorial day weekend, the president says he struck a deal for zte, thats the giant Chinese Telecommunication Firm to stay in business in the United States, potentially clearing the way for progress with the u. S. And china as they begin their trade talks. Fox news correspondent Gillian Turner with more as we keep hearing this trade war is now still permanently, perhaps, on pause. Thats right, leland. So, President Trump has struck a deal with chinese president xi that eases sanctions on Chinese Telecom giant zte. Xi reached out directly pleading for relief on behalf of the chinese company. Zte had been penalized for doing business with iran and north korea, a violation. And and he said that it was the United States fault. We had massive theft of intellectual perhaps, perhaps hard to value, perhaps 300 billion a year and i told president xi, i dont blame china, i blame the United States for allowing this to happen. Now, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are slamming the move, a letter signed by 14 g. O. P. Senators calls zte quote serial and premeditated violators of the rule of law and distinguishes the country of the u. S. From china. And nancy pelosi says its a staggering portrayal of the American People. Although trump pledged to fight for hardworking americans,s now using u. S. Government resources to enrich a foreign company. But the president s standing firm, insisting hes forced zte to change its management and pay a fine and commit to buying American Parts and help to get a better trade deal with china in the future. And this, as there are major obstacles on the security front. China landed long range bombers on one of the illegal islands in the South China Sea and rankling some and the two countries are grappling with the north korean issue and the prospect of the u. S. Kim meeting going in any possible direction. Leland hearing who had to you the u. S. Military is trying to counter the chinese threat. Gillian turner, thanks so much. Elizabeth after calling off the anticipated summit with north Korean Leader kim jongun, the president says it could be back on. Here to discuss it and of course, the political ramificationses, democratic strategist, and brie, start with you. North korea obviously has been able to see a little bit of reward the past couple of weeks on a global scale for Good Behavior for a step in the right direction. Do you suspect thats motivation for the june 12th summit to actually take place . I definitely think so, but you know, you never know with north korea, thats the thing. And i think it makes sense for donald trump to have canceled the summit in the first place. North korea was reportedly threatening to have a Nuclear Showdown with the United States if the meeting didnt go well. I think its important when entering a negotiating table to be honest and for us to enter with the position of strength, right . I mean, the reality that north korea is a country that is imploding internally and they have been unable to develop Effective Nuclear weapons, right . So i think we need to enter the negotiating table being honest with one another and not treating them as equals, but as treating them in the position as they are in and us entering with strength. I think thats very important and i think that donald trump understood that and i was honestly, i mean, happy to see that he ended up canceling the summit when north korea was entering with that type of an attitude. Elizabeth robin, and obviously, your last name, you youve been on the show before, i apologize. And second of all, i assume you do not agree. Brie brought up very good points and my main concern, with this being on june 12th, there were so many moving parts to this, you know, its taking me back to my active duty days, kind of shooting moving targets here and i dont think we had enough time to put this together. And i think its a smart move to delay this and donald trump doesnt like to expose his playing cards. Bolton did no service to him by his comments we were going to use the libya model. I know it was taken out of context, but the perception from kim jongun was certainly he was going to end up like gadhafi, dead on the meat factory floor. If we see kim jongun make a more aggressive stance as he did weeks and months ago, then what is my question . If we see him sort of, you know, meeting with the south korean president and theres efforts for it to take place, but that could change, so then what . It changes all the time, but look at whats happened with the two of them in the past. You know, that the name calling, the dotar and President Trump calling him short and fat. And its basically fluid. Im pretty sure well end up getting there and thats to the betterment of all americans. This isnt along party lines at all, this is whats best for america, so i hope that we can make progress here. Elizabeth you know, brie, i want to bring in one i want to weave china into the conversation because obviously, the president has been critical of president xi for a number of reasons. How big of a role should they play or should they not play a role at all . They absolutely should play a big role. At the end of the day, china is the country thats propping up kim jonguns regime. At the end of the day we need to be having a conversation with them. Its very clear that china is not in a position where they want to give up their sphere of influence and theyre rapidly expanding it. We heard from gillian a few moments ago the way that theyre developing weapons in the islands in the South China Sea and position themselves, you know, as a global super power, which they are and trying to kind of have this conflict with us and try to say were bigger than you, were expanding, doing these things and all that have is a rapid change in Foreign Policy direction in the past decade were seeing. I think we need to respond to it and say, this needs to stop and we need to have a realistic conversation about everything thats going on there, so, definitely, 100 important to involve china and get them at the negotiating table as well. Elizabeth robin, i want to give you the last word because the president even tweeted that the border has become more porous. Obviously, hes referring to the sanctions being lifted for north korea, coming from china, meaning that they really havent been following through and being as hard on north korea as they should. I want to i have go you the last word on chinas involvement and possibility of their involvement going forward. Its sort of troublesome. You know what bothers me the most are the secretive meetings. And seems like china is trying to do a power play. I understand why they want the power, but kim jongun is a notorious liar. Condoleezza rice knows very well this, so its almost impossible to see how this is going to turn out. Lets just hope for the best. Elizabeth robin and brie, hope to have you back. Thank you. Leland well, the weather is rather extreme here in quantico, virginia, and by that i mean extremely hot, and extremely sunny. Its going to be extremely different though as the first named storm of the 2018 Hurricane Season has now put parts of the gulf coast under a Tropical Storm watch. Meteorologist adam klotz is tracking what is now called a subTropical Storm storm alberto from a gloriously air conditioned city in new york city, hi, adam. New york city is beautiful as well. Unfortunately people across the south, especially in florida battling this throughout the Holiday Weekend. Here it is currently off the coast of cuba. Winds 40 Miles Per Hour moving to the north at 10 Miles Per Hour. Its going to be lingering all the way through the weekend, at least some of that rain is. This is the radar loop from the last six hours and were seeing some of that rain falling across portions of south florida. Its going to be a slow mover, if youre in one of the spots where youre getting rain, the rain is continuing. Here is the future radar, notice how disorganized this is. As i put this in a move over the warm waters of the gulf. You see the circulation a little more. This is now getting noon on sunday. Still rain falling across portions of florida and you begin to see the heavier bands of rain moving along the coast and talking about the north gulf coast as well. Rain is a major issue and were talking spots getting seven, ten, maybe a foot of rain, leland. A soggy three days across florida. As we just begin Hurricane Season coming up in the next few weeks, adam klotz in the extreme weather center. Thank you.

This is how car buying was always meant to be. This is truecar. Im still giving it my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. So if theres a better treatment than warfarin, im up for that. Eliquis. Eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. Plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. So whats next . Seeing these guys. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis, the number one cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you. A massive va reform bill is now on President Trumps desk. The 55 million overhaul of Veterans Health care will expand options for those who served our country. Joining me now to weigh in, congressman and retired army lieutenant, colonel Steve Russell. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for covering veterans things this weekend. Elizabeth obviously, its a holiday and what did you have here. This is my uncle frank, buried in france, killed 1918. This was the pipe he was carrying when he was killed in action. My greatgrandfathers brother. He was 19 years of age and never came home. I had several soldiers that i lost when i was a Task Force Commander in iraq and many were 19 so theres a lot of, just a lot of different feelings that you feel during memorial day that its great that we have our freedom and we do the outings and the barbecues, but it really about those that didnt come home. Elizabeth and you probably associate yourself more so as a person who serves our country on the military side than you do, obviously now a congressman. That being said, there was big news this week. This was a 55 billion overall. Youve been critical in the past, you said the va needed to be blown up. We need to start with ground zero. Are you happy with this . Its a start. We had a situation where there was a lot of corruption, there was a lot of waste, a lot of, you know, Senior Executives and service officials, secretary mcdonald tried to get at that and was partially successful and secretary shulkin was aware of it and now secretary wilkey were excited will go after the issues. The va is not a giant jobs program for those that are there. It exists to care for those who sacrificed and we need to do an awful lot to ease those burdens. Why is it that any citizen can go to a local pharmacy and local clinic, but we make it its an allday affair or worse, youve got to get some appointment in six weeks, then you can go and do something. Elizabeth it could be a long drive away, could be hard to get access. Absolutely. Elizabeth what are you most pleased with . Theres the choice to have more choice, which you just said. Right. Elizabeth theres obviously a lot of, even with some of the buildings, the costs, theres a lot of things in this. What are you most happy with . Im most happy that were cracking down a little bit on that we have to have all of this bloat, all of this infrastructure, 1. 2 billion hospitals in single town. No, we dont. We dont have to have any of that. For example, when i retired from the service, i took my active duty medical records to a local base in my hometown and i transitioned to military retirement and i go to the clinics that i want to. If i can do that after fighting three wars and serving my countries more than two decades we ought to allow the veterans that come back from their wars to have similar choices instead of being bottled up into a system that is not always meets their needs and is archaic and doesnt provide them the choice and becomes very difficult. That said, our va workers, many do a wonderful, wonderful job, but in my hometown of oklahoma city, its very sad, you know, you had a Trauma Center that was built there and it was horrible in what they did. The lowest bidder used quick crete instead of concrete. And were coming up against a hard break and computer will cut us off. Thank you. Well have much more news after the break. Man it takes a lot of work to run this business, but i really love it. Im on the move all day long, and sometimes i dont eat the way i should. So i drink boost to get the nutrition im missing. Boost high protein now has 33 more protein, along with 26 essential vitamins and minerals. And it has a guaranteed great taste. Man boost gives me everything i need to be up for doing what i love.

Oralbs rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to gently remove more plaque, and oralb is the First Electric toothbrush brand accepted by the American Dental Association for its effectiveness and safety.

Were going to show you a standoff with a marine trained attack dog used in combat. Well give aspoiler alert, it did not go so well for myrtle beach well introduce you to mo. Jeffrey earnhardt joins us to talk about a charity close to his heart that helps millly members and their families in need. We also have the top headlines, including the release of american joshua holt after years in a venezuelan prison. President trump tweeted the news this morning. South koreas leader holding a new meeting with kim jong un as we get word from the white house of a preadvanced team for what could be historic talks between President Trump and kim jong un still heading for singapore. Leland with that, welcome to this special memorial day Weekend Edition of americas news headquarters. Im Leland Vittert at the marine base in quantico, virginia. Were going to show you how marines are remembering their fallen brothers in wars past and also now getting ready for the next threat, whether it be taking on isis and alqaida or focusing on a deterrent for kim jong un. Elizabeth thank you for joining us. Its beautiful there, and we thank you for being down there. President trump says he will host former missionary joshua holt at the white house tonight as he returns to the u. S. After being imprisoned in venezuela. Allison barber joins us live from the white house with the latest. Reporter President Trump says he is looking forward to seeing mr. Holt and that the people of utah, holts home state, are celebrating. Josh holt traveled to venezuela about two years ago to get married and stay at least for a little while, until his wife and her children had the proper visas. They barely be began their lives together when they were arrested on weapons charges. The u. S. Has long said the arrest was political. President trump says holt will be in d. C. At the white house with his family around 7 00 this evening. He made the announcement on twitter, writing in part, good news about the release of the american hostage from venezuela. While the white house prepares for holts return, theyre also preparing for the dep departure senior officials. White house said aids would travel to singapore this weekend to sort out logistics for the meeting. Sarah sanders says the price house preadvance team for singapore will leave as scheduled in order to prepare, should the summit take place. Donald trump presidenpresident g optimistic about the meeting between the u. S. And north korea on twitter writing the failing new york times, is saying that even if the meeting were reinstated, holding it on june 12th would be impossible given the amount of planning needed. Wrong again. Were going to see what happens. Were talking to them now. It was a very nice statement they put out. Well see what happens. Everybody plays games. You know that. You know that better than anybody. Reporter sanders told reporters that the administration would of course like to have the meeting as the president has said in the past. Its been a couple days since north koreas statement after President Trump canceled the summit but she also said that they were not interested in having what she called a cheap political stunt. Liz . Elizabeth allison, thank you so much. Leland . Leland in addition to the developments here in the United States, theres been a surprise meeting on the Korean Peninsula. The leaders of north and south korea came together last night. This, after President Trump seemingly warmed back up to the idea of the june 12th summit with kim jong un and with that we go to greg palkott in sowl, south he korea. Hi, greg. Reporter yeah, taking place this weekend, a possible Important Development in efforts to bring peace to this region. North koreas leader, kim jong un and south koreas president meeting along the dmz as they did just one month ago. This time, on the north korean side. The session lasting about two hours. Were told in addition to interkorean matters, there was a, quote, frank and candid exchange of views as to how to achieve a successful summit involving President Trump and north Korean Leader kim. That summit remember was basically canceled on thursday by the white house and then revived on friday. Saturdays meeting is seen by some experts here as the clearest signal yet that a june 112th singapore session could be back on, amid reports that advanced teams from both sides are heading to singapore. South koreas president met with President Trump this past tuesday. There was some talk here that he was carrying a message from trump to kim but also perhaps moon, who has become an important gobetween for both sides, could have pushed kim on saturday to further commit to denuclearization. That of course is the core issue of any future talks with the north. Remember this week we witnessed what the north claimed was the dismantlement of its one known Nuclear Test Site in the northeastern corner of the country. That was seen as a goodwill gesture. There were no experts on the ground to confirm this. We can confirm there was a meeting between the north and south. There was handshakes. There were smiles. There were hugs. Perhaps that warm feeling can translate into a more important summit and maybe a little peace here. Back to you. Leland weve seen so quickly how the peace and warm feelings can fall apart. Greg palkott, watching things as they develop by the hour. Later this hour, were going to talk to the colonel in charge of training the next generation of marines here at quantico to stand watch on the dmz. Were going to talk to former new mexico governor and u. S. Ambassador to the united nations, Bill Richardson, as we dive into the conversation surrounding north korea, something he knows a lot about. Well also talk to him about the release of american joshua holt from venezuela. Elizabeth lets bring in steven nelson, White House Correspondent for the washington examiner, to talk all the headlines coming out of the white house saturday. Certainly not a boring saturday. I want to start with north korea. We had gregs report there and we saw the president tweeting in part, which Allison Barber has, i dont need to repeat it entirely. He talked even if the meeting were reinstated, holding it on june 12th would be impossible given the amount of time and amount of planning needed, wrong again. Essaying stand back, hes saying stand back, let me do what i need to do. Im curious what youre hearing about the possibility of the june 12th summit and is the white house prepared . The quote that President Trump said was fake apparently was real. Theres so many twists and turns to this thing, its hard to keep up. Apparently theres a preadvanced team going over to prepare for the june 12th summit, should it actually happen. The white house officials last week said that the last time we did this, the week previously, the North Koreans never showed up. We dont know how this will work out. President trump is saying that its still a possibility and there was the surprise meeting between the Korean Leaders, so itit certainly still could hap. Elizabeth does the United States have the correct expectations, meaning are they realistic . And then does north and south korea also have correct expectations, meaning are they realistic . Thats been the big question from the beginning, whether President Trump can sit down and convince north korea to get rid of their nuclear weapons. North korea was very belicose in their statements last week, in response to the suggestion there could be a libya model where they disarm and libyas dictator was deposed and hug humiliated d murdered by a lynch mob. The resolution will be a good question and diplomats are skeptical. President trump is a deal maker and he thinks he can get it done. Elizabeth were seeing the advanced team heading to singapore. Things are obviously moving. Whether or not they meet with south and north korean officials is something to be seen. We were surprised to hear the news that joshua holt was coming back to the United States. Hes been in venezuela for almost two years now, in some very harsh conditions. Were you surprised . Did you get any word about this perhaps as early as last night . I definitely was surprised, as was everyone else, im sure. For about two years holt has been in prison in venezuela on dubious weapons charges under the allegation that hes an american agent. He is a former mormon missionary. Its important to remember there are five other american citizens who are currently detained in venezuela. Former citgo executives have been held without a trial. Their cases havent gotten much attention. Its a good thing for holt and his family that hes been released. There are other americans who are being held there as well. Elizabeth why now . What is the white house motivation for pushing for this release . Why joshua . Why not the others as well . Do you have any insight into that . He has just been released. He hasnt even left venezuela yet. It might be too early to say. This comes after President Trump tightened the sanctions on venezuela in response to their president ial election where the thoauthortarian leader won a lae part of the vote, despite whats going on with their economy. Elizabeth well take it as it comes. Thank you. Each of you will make your own mark on the navy, the marine corps, the military, and the history of our great nation. Seize today and you will shape tomorrow. Leland President Trump there charges Naval Academy graduates to be the future of the service during commencement yesterday at annapolis as he shook the hands of the d cadets as they received their diplomas. Many of the officers will arrive in quantico, virginia, in a couple of weeks for the basic school, teaching the basics of leading marines in combat. With us now, base Commanding Officer, colonel joseph murray. Thank you for being here many is your shaping now the future generation of marine officers, this a difference between training them to be ready to fight Counter Insurgency in iraq and afghanistan as you have for the past decade to taking on a russia threat or a china threat or the North Koreans . First, thanks for taking time out and coming here to quantico. Quantico is a world class place where we train our young officers that have just graduated from the academy, from many of the schools across the country. As we go into the next future warnare alwarfar all of the trag course on quantico. The man power of what it will look like takes place here. The training and education is done here. Our officers always begin their training here. Whether its iraq or afghanistan, the tactics, techniques and procedures may be a little different on the ground but the leading aspects, the leadership that marines develop at the basic school is always going to be the same. It requires a young officer to lead young enlisted men into the trenches of war. Leland speaking of those young officers, america has been at war for our longest war, 14 years, dont need to tell you that. Well remember many of those who have fallen on monday. Is there a difference now in the recruits and the young officers who are signing up after 14 years of war, knowing where theyre headed versus guys who signed up when you did as the berlin wall had fallen and it seemed as though peace was upon us. The marines that have come in now today have brought such a new energy. They have brought new capabilities. They understand things a heck of a lot better. You like me, i have to turn my phone over to my kids to figure out how to make this work. Weve got young men and women that come in the marine corps right now that know how to fly drones, they know how to do things that we never learned how to do. They know how to do things with information technology, cyber security. Those marines that are coming in now today are incredible. Leland speaking of all the new technology that they have to deal with, a lot of the buildings that we saw as we were here on quantico today and a week ago as we came down to join some of your marines in their training, these buildings have been around since the 1940s, we keep hearing about the necessary modernization thats going to come, could buildings for the 1940s still be useful or are we at the end of the life span there . Marines do the best with the least. Quantico turned 100 last year. Our airfield turns 100 this year. We will continue to do the best we can with the facilities that we have and make our marines to be able to fight future wars and future war fighting capabilities. Leland as my mother refers to some the stuff thats been around at our house for 80 years now, its original equipment and now it cant be moved on and you guys do do a lot with it. Colonel murray, appreciate you being here with us. Thank you. Well introduce you to colonel murrays men and marines later in the show. Elizabeth great interview. We do have brandnew pictures just into the fox newsroom from inside Nobelsville West Middle School where a student opened fire on friday morning. The image shows desks and backpacks stacked as a barricade against a classroom door. Student tyler cassidy, who took the photo, said theyd been trained to block doors in case of an active shooter. President trump mentioned the shooting on twitter this morning, praising the teacher who stopped the gunman, saying in part, quote, thanks to very brave teacher and hero, jason seaman, for his heroic act in saving so many precious young lines. His quick and automatic action is being talked about all over the world. Leland we are getting some new photos of former president george h. W. Bush greeting veterans this morning. The 41st president of the United States attended a pancake breakfast in maine. He traveled to maine earlier this month after being discharged from the poupt. Mr. Bush, a veteran himself, was hospitalized briefly after the funeral of his wife, barbara bush. Back here from quantico on this special edition of americas news headquarters, for memorial day weekend, were going to go live to the big island of hawaii where lava has incinerated over 80 structures including dozens of homes. It shows no signs of letting up. Marines are actually there at the ready if called on. Plus, here at quantico, were going to take you to a special Training Session involving yours truly and i can say an exceptionally welltrained and lethal fourlegged powerhouse that didnt go so well. Also, well show you how marines deal with vehicles that have been blown up and rolled over in combat. Who let the dogs out. Who let the dogs out. Who let the dogs out. Managing blood sugar is not a marathon. Its a series of smart choices.

A totally new kind of awesome going on here avo new beneful simple goodness. Tender, meaty morsels with real ingredients you can see. Leland welcome back to quantico, virginia, home of the place that they train so many of the next generation of marine officers headed out to join the fleet. One thing that has changed so much about warfare especially if iraq, afghanistan and syria is the use of military working dogs like mo here with his handler, Sergeant Raymond cleveland. And shall we say we got a firsthand look at exactly what mo can do on the battlefield. Hes actually a patrol with suspect apprehension and an explosive detector dog. He locates between 15 to 30 different types of explosives. Reporter you think of the training that goes into a marine, how does that compare to the training that goes into a marine dog . Its the same kind of training. Well get marines from basic military police school, recruit school, all that. They go through 120 days of basic training and we get them. Theyre very basic. Once we get them they go through 40 hours a week of training until their proficiency is high enough to be an operational dog. Leland talk about how much of a deployment dogs make for marines when youre overseas. Its phenomenal. The dogs with their explosive detection aspect save lives, walk in front of the infantry marines in some of the most hostile locations. The fight isnt just overseas. The fight is here, domestic terrorism, things along those lines. Having the dogs at the gate, at the installation, having that asset readily available to the Installation Commander is phenomenal. Leland where do you go from a dog thats out with tons of people, running in a marathon, and is perfectly happy and fine, to the dog that were going to see run me and chase me down . Its a light switch effect. Once that harness goes on that dog, that dog knows its time to work. The dog will flip on the light switch and take him down, flip the light switch off when the suspect is apprehended. Leland do the dogs ever lose the battle . Never. Dogs never lose. Youll see. Elizabeth Leland Leland i saw and now you saw from so many different angles here a lot of what mo can do and other military working dogs can do. We cant show you, we can tell you about it, liz. I know your dogs are as welltrained as this. Theyre sending them out 500 yards to search out i. E. D. S. Not only do they find the explosives, they then go and start tracking the people who put the explosives there, which is a new skill that the military is working on training these dogs for, just in the past couple of years. Elizabeth i dont want to make light of it because it is fascinating what these animals can do and they are unbelievable and the men and women who train them. If i could just watch the video of you getting tackled over and over again, i dont want this to come out wrong. Leland i think its the screen saver of a few of our producers. Elizabeth you did mention my dog. Im not sure that my lab terrier mixes from kill shelters can do the work that they do, but its inspiring nonetheless. You did a great job out there. Not that i want to see the video of you getting taken down over and over again. I would never want that. Maybe we could have it in the back of the show. Leland its on dvr. Dont worry. Elizabeth great job, leland. Coming up, secretary of state mike pompeo laid the grounds grk for the canceled meeting with kim jong un. The president says the meeting may still be on. Well speak with a former u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. About whats next with the summit. And working to keep Service Members safe, how u. S. Service members train to deal with i. E. D. S and other hazards on the battlefield. They know what to do in a rollover situation and we know when we are hit, we can get out and get into a position and go into the fight. Hey we didnt have a homeowners claim last year so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. Well, that seems fair. We didnt use it. Wish we got money back on gym memberships. Get money back hilarious. With claimfree rewards. Switching to allstate is worth it. I thought i was managing my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. But i realized something was missing. Me. The thought of my symptoms returning was keeping me from being there for the people and things i love most. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira can help get, and keep,uc under control when other medications havent worked well enough. And it helps people achieve control that lasts so you could experience few or no symptoms. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. Im still giving it my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. So if theres a better treatment than warfarin, im up for that. Eliquis. Eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. Plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. So whats next . Seeing these guys. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis, the number one cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you.

The immigration debate is heating up in congress once again. The house is five signatures away from forcing a vote on four separate immigration bills. Garrett is joining us with the latest. Reporter one thing is clear, this is a debate the gop leadership does not want to have ahead of the midterm elections. If the petition succeeds it would force debate on four different bills addressing a combination of daca, Border Security and immigration. Paul ryan has said repeatedly that none of those bills has enough support to pass the house, much less the senate. So forcing a debate is a losing proposition on the party. There are tough reelection battles in areas with large latino populations. Last night, they said forcing a debate will lead to a bipartisan agreement. The final product will not only have Border Security money in it for the wall, but it will have a bipartisan support. Thats the only way that rear goinweregoing to get a fix on. This is not just for republicans or for democrats. This is for americans to find an american solution. That means signing it into law. We want to have a bill that the president will sign. Reporter President Trump said that any daca deal must include funding for the border wall along with a number of other Border Security and immigration reforms. This week the president told fox news that hes open to a couple of the bills being proposed in the house that may come up for debate in june. Unless it includes a walld i mean a wall, a real wall, and unless it includes very strong Border Security, there will be no approvals from me. I have to either approve it or not. There are bills going through. Im watching one or two of them. Well see what happens. Reporter even if the house does manage to pass an immigration bill it would still need to go through the senate. A ki couple days ago Mitch Mcconnell said hes not willing to spend any more time on immigration until its clear that a bill will be passed and signed by the president. At this point hes not convinced thats the case. Elizabeth garrett, thank you so much. The white house not taking any days off over this Holiday Weekend. The president tweeted one american hostage is coming home from venezuela while a white house preadvanced team will head off to singapore in case the anticipated meeting with kim jong un does take place. For reaction to all this news, former u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. , Bill Richardson joins us now. Thank you for joining us, governor. No stranger to both topics that were talking about today. How are you . Im good. Thank you. Nice to be with you. Elizabeth first and foremost, what is your takin tan the meeting between north and south korea. Whats the message they want to get across specifically to the president this morning . Well, the south korean president is trying to salvage the summit. Hes had a lot of important issues that he has to deal with in his country with north korea, hes the most vulnerable. The good news is south korea is trying to make the summit happen, even though i think unfortunately the white house did not notify him that the summit was canceled. Canceled. Even after having be. It means the summit is on track, but perhaps not for june 12th. We need to do a lot of preparation. We need to find ways to have our message by one person. I think thats secretary pompeo. An objective, a strategy. I think were not comfortable with the strategy we have on denuclearization. I think the North Koreans are not ready to do that. Nonetheless, i think the summit is going to happen. Thats good. South koreans are helping to make this happen. Elizabeth youve been very vocal saying this needs to start from the bottom, up. The positive relationship needs to start from the bottom, up. Weaveing in south korea, weaving in china, which means it needs to take time. How do you do that when we have a president that wants instant grat phgratification. He wants it to be done right now. He wants another success. That makes things difficult. Im a traditional diplomat. You do it quietly, secretly. You inform your allies, the japanese and south korea. The president does things impulsively. The good thing, though, liz, is that in the past from the bottom up, things havent worked. It might work successful summit because its in the top, down. Its from the top, down. The president , kim jong un working together. I think pompeo deserves credit for having met kim jong un. The issue is can we fair h narrr objectives. The North Koreans want denuclearization on their own terms. We want denuclearization, destroy all your weapons. Thats not going to happen. So you find a compromise there and this is why i think the two leaders at the top need to decide this and hopefully the summit will happen soon. Hopefully not june 12th because thats just too soon and we need to get our act together. Elizabeth a compromise of both expectations. We dont have much time left. I cant let this opportunity pass me by. Joshua holt, we expect him to be back on u. S. Soil around 7 00 p. M. Tonight. Youre no stranger to this story. My question to you is why now and also there are other americans who are being held in venezuela so what is the motivation for the administration to bring joshua holt home now . Well, i think credit goes to senator hatch and the Trump Administration and senator corker and senator durbin. I tried to get him out. I met with venezuelans, with the family. We seem to have a policy that says its important to get american hostages out. This happened with the North Koreans with the three detainees being released. With venezuela, the government were hostile to them, i think they had an election and they thought that they would make a humanitarian gesture. I dont think we gave them anything in return which is good because usually countries like venezuela and north korea they use american hostage as bargaining chips. We want something in return, a high level visit or venezuelans or North Koreans that are in american prisons out. So this is good news. Josh holt has been in prison for two years, unjustly. They said he was a spy. Hes going home to Salt Lake City to a wonderful family. Credit should go to the p senators that worked hard and the Trump Administration under secretary shannon at the state department, senator hatch, i talked to him, senator corker, senator durbin. This is good, american hostages getting them out is good policy for americans and for this country. Elizabeth that is something we can agree on and the treatment like he said, what he experienced over the past two years was horrific. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate your opinion on these issues. Thank you, liz. Thank you. Leland many of those we will remember and honor on monday died in roadside bomb and ambush attacks in iraq and afghanistan. The marines have learned from those lessons on armoring humvees and buying new, heavier combat vehicles. Those present their own dangers, especially rollovers. We learned firsthand how marines train to get out and stay alive. This is designed to simulate a training scenario in case a vehicle rolls, hits an i. E. D. Leland if you were to roll into a canal, give me real world stories of what happened to you guys over there and how this helped that. Real world, one of these vehicles rolls, goes down, a lot of armor on that thing, thats a lot of weight throwing around, landing on a weird angle. Youve got a lot of pieces moving around. Theyre disoriented. They have to get out of there quickly. We developed this system to train. Rollover, rollover. It allows us to rollover at a variety of angles. The operator will unlock a door. Have you to find the door and get out. It increases your comfort and your familia familiarity gettinf the vehicle. Leland throughout the wars in iraq and afghanistan, you learned that humvees were more vulnerable to i. E. D. S and ambushes. Then you have the risk of rollovers going up. You cant negate casualties or risks, you have to mitigate. I would rather have a rolled over vehicle with a lower risk of injury to personnel where theyre still alive in an armored situation, as opposed to when i dont know if my people are walk away or not. Leland how does this compare to a more conventional war . The biggest thing is hybrid warfare. We anticipate its going to happen in the future as well, in future campaigns. Leland so much of the training we have witnessed here at quantico, whether it be the rollover training or the shooting range we showed you earlier that uses Virtual Reality is about recreate itsing as close as they can get to the sights, sounds and smells and conditions of combat, having learned from the marines not only that went before them but also the marines that did not come home alive, that their deaths may not be in vein. Thvain. They are training mariner whether it be north korea and taking on russians or whether they deploy to iraq, afghanistan, syria where there are marines fighting right now. Elizabeth the technology is unbelievable, as well as adaptation and efficiency. Coming up, honoring our Fallen Soldiers on the track this memorial day.

Here now with how he plans to honor the families of soldiers fallen is jeffrey earnhardt. Thank you for joining us. How are you . Im doing pretty good. Elizabeth you have a big race on monday. What will be different about your car on this big race day coming up . Weve partnered with nylon apparel who they do a lot with a lot of foundations that are supporting our military and even the ones, the people who served for our military and paid the ultimate sacrifice and this weekend we partnered with angels of americas fallen who continue to support and give to the Family Members of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and its really touching whenever you see the families that have came out this weekend and then all the names that we have on the hood of our car from the soldiers, men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to support our country and allow us the freedom to live in america. Elizabeth to attend races like yours. We talk about the soldiers and the men and the women and we do try to focus on the children too. And that is so important, especially on a Holiday Weekend like this because theres so many children who have to go through milestones in their life without their mother or their father. Why do you want the attention to be focused on those children . Thats something that i feel you dont really think about until its brought to your attention, you know, and it hit hard here just a little earlier today, right before practice, two little children, little boy and little girl from the soldier who we have on the door of our car, theyre at the race this weekend and theyre touched because we have their dads name on the car. It hits home, you know. Its very touching and its just an emotional weekend. Elizabeth when you meet children who have lost a parent, a Family Member, what do you typically say to them . They look up to you. Youre a superstar. I dont know if im the superstar. Their Family Member that paid the ultimate sacrifice, theyre the real heros. Im just very fortunate to try and continue to pay the respects and bring their attention to their name. You cant ever pay enough respect to someone who has paid that ultimate sacrifice and to be able to try and put a smile on those kids faces means the world to me and showing them that people still respect and acknowledge what their father or mother have done for our country. Elizabeth so our viewers know, the names of Fallen Service men and women will be on your hood and obviously on the door also of your racing car but nine line apparel, and i think the website is ninelinefoundation. Org, that will stay permanently on your car, if im not mistaken. Is that correct . Yeah. So they have a foundation as well that were going to raise money toso were donating a check to angels of americas fallen this weekend, a check for 15,000. And then also for the nine line foundation, for the daytona race, were going to raise money to support their foundation as well, which they try to continue to support those soldiers who have came back from duty and are just needing a hand up to really get on their feet and put them in housing and put them in job placement. So really supporting those two big foundations. Theres tons of them out there. I wish we could donate the world to. But those are the two that were working really heavy with, they mean a lot to me, they mean a lot to nine line apparel and tyler merit, the owner o who isa veteran. Its exciting to be partnered and trying to make a difference in keeping recognition to those who fight for our freedom. Elizabeth we have it up on our screen, so jeff, we wish you the best of luck. Cant wait to see how monday turns out. We support the cause that you support too. Thank you. Thank you.
