Problem. Ed officially here congratulations. Picking up an award. Pete drove all the way to be there. Pete he had got an interview. Jedediah i wasnt there i was with salon. I have an excuse. Pete mothers day is next weekend. Jedediah might be a surprise from salons. You never know. Ed we have a fox news alert. Breaking overnight. A plane carrying 143 people out of Guantanamo Bay slid off a runway and into a river in jacksonville, florida. Jedediah 21 people have minor injuries. Officials calling it a miracle saying it could be much worse. Pete back street boys fan aishah with us this morning. Boeing says they are providing Technical Assistance now at the request of the ntsb which has now sent a team to the scene to start investigating. This boeing 737 charter flight you are looking at right there is operated by miami air international. It was en route from Guantanamo Bay, cuba and landing at Naval Air Station jacksonville, thats a military airport at the Jacksonville Naval complex. Now, Officials Say the plane slid off the runway and went right into the st. Johns river. The Jacksonville Sheriffs Office says the plane landed in Shallow Water but was not submerged. 21 adults were transported to local hospital according to a tweet by the Sheriffs Office here. They were transported by jackson fire and rescue. All of them are listed in good condition. No critical injuries. Over 80 fire and rescue members responded to this. Amazing response and work j jfrd team work. Unfortunately we are hearing that there were some pets on board. They have not yet been retrieved this morning because of safety issues with the aircraft. Overall though officials breathing a sigh of relief. It is a miracle. We could be talking about a different story this evening. There is a lot to say, you know, about the professionalism of the folks that helped the passengers off the airplane. It very well could be worse. Jedediah so heres what we know about the plane. Its called the rotator. Its a charter flight that fairies military personnel contractors and military members on and off the bases. Jacksonville mayor says teams were working overnight to contain fuel spilling into the water there and is he getting a lot of support. He tweeted this. Earlier in the evening the real Donald Trump White House called to help as the situation was developing. And, guys, listen to this. You wont believe this, jacksonville fire and rescue ironically their special Operations Team had just trained for an incident just like this one with their marine units earlier in the day. Can you believe that . Ed wow. What an amazing coincidence. Glad they did. Thank you, aishah. Pete i served in Guantanamo Bay for a year i have taken flights like that. Smaller puddle jumpers going in and out for leave when theyre moving a lot of people they will do that quite regularly. Listen the runway at gitmo is great. The runway in jacksonville is great. Something must have gone wrong and we are hoping everything is okay. Jedediah can i make may plea to get though the animals out of cargo immediately . They shouldnt be in there to begin with. Its not good conditions. We dont need them overheating and suffocating please get the animals out of cargo. Absolutely. Ed we knew jedediah would say that. Boeing also a had some problems. We will dig in deeper this hour. Former former assistant secretary of transportation be here at 6 30 a. M. Eastern time. We will dig in deeper on that. Big news. Pete big news the economy is roaring. The cover of the New York Post this morning says americas working. Lowest jobless rate since 196 the. Here is the aprils job report they talked about it yesterday on fox friends brian, steve and ainsley. Job number greater than expected. 263,000 jobs added in april alone. Unemployment rate 3. 6 . Thats the lowest since both the jets and the mets won the world series. Ed a long time. Jedediah the standout to me was wage growth average hourly wages up. Average wages hit 27. 77. Pretty fantastic. And as we have been having this conversation for a long time about the economy. The question is how will democrats run against a booming economy with policies that will do the exact opposite of what this has generated. Pete we were told for so long the slow down was coming. Instead its accelerated that wage number 27. 77 an hour. I know not everyone makes that but if you have got democrats running around saying we want the government to set what companies should pay people at 15 an hour and the contract says how about we just grow our economy so businesses are competing for workers and wages rise organically, thats always way more healthy and the president has delivered on that. Jedediah he sure has. Ed you know the president has delivered when cnn poll says approved his handling of the economy 56 . Disapprove 41 . No opinion 3 . Well, someone who has an opinion is larry kudlow, of course, a close advisor to the president inside the white house. And he said this is now far beyond anyones expectations. Watch. President trumps policies to rebuild the economy have put us into a powerful prosperity boom. And there is no end in sight. Lets not make this any harder than it needs to be. Low tax rates, regulatory roll back. Energy openings, trade reforms, growth, growth, growth, growth. Thats what you got going here. Pete yeah. Its unprecedented what we are seeing right now especially because inflation usually expect inflation and other indices to start rising. Inflation historic lows very manageable level. If you are an opponent of this president right now and trying to put together an economic message we talked about this earlier all the statements put out by democrats yesterday yeah it all looks good but, you know, its like people arent believing the but part of it because they see this and people are benefiting. Business is booming. Jedediah yeah. They are also not living the but support of it. They are living the reality. I always say if you have more money in your pocket if you got a raise. If you have kept your job. If you have gained your job. If you can send your kid to summer camp or buy that extra gift for your kids birthday. Thats what translates to people. There is only 3 in that survey when asked about the economy that had no opinion. Thats because its a lead issue for everyone. If you dont have money in your pocket, you dont have the time as someone who didnt have money in her pocket for a long time i can tell you dont have time to start thinking about other issues and Climate Change and all that stuff on the left that folks talk about. If you are broke, broke comes first. Ed poor russia. Something like that. You want to feel it in your bones. Obviously you remember what James Carville said in 1992 its the economy, stupid. Whats what bill clinton said. The economy is very strong and could be good for President Trump. The democratic frontrunner joe biden served in the Obamabiden Administration when they had a much different approach to the economy. And i if you will remember a couple years ago joe biden said there is no way can you turn it around like this. You will need a magic wand. He is going to bring all these jobs back. Well, how exactly are you going to do that . What are you going to do . He just says im going to negotiate a better deal . Well, how how exactly are you going to negotiate that . What magic wand do you have and usually the answer is he doesnt have answer. Ed maybe he has an answer now one and two the key part president obama was talking about at that time you cant bring back the manufacturing jobs. They are gone. Never coming back. Here we are just a few years later theyre coming back. Jedediah i wonder if joe biden should put on a sign obamas wing man as you just pointed. I think that can work for him. Pete i thought that was eric holder. He was obamas wing man. Talking about the attorney general stuff. Talk about construction jobs 33,000 added. Government jobs 27,000. But manufacturing jobs also up in this report. He said wheres your magic wand bat that bing, bat that boom. Here it is. When and belief big things happen. Mark theefn was on this than earlier talking about why this economy is bad news for obamabiden. This is great news for america and very bad news for joe biden. The biggest economic problem we have in america right now is that there are more job openings today than Unemployed People to fill them. When joe biden says are you feeling it . Yes the people feeling it most are the forgotten americans, because manufacturing jobs, half a Million Manufacturing jobs created in the last year and wages for those people under the wall street journal raised wages for those at the bottom without a High School Education rose 6 which is outpacing everybody else. Joe bidens rationale for his campaign is im going to go win back the forgotten americans in states that voted for trump like ohio, michigan and wisconsin. Ed tells you he is not going to have a magic wand and turn back the economy. And also told you he will not win women in 2020. We know about the money pouring in. Bit of a surprise and good news for the president. Jedediah 2020 donations from the First Quarter of 2019, gillibrand 1,275,135. Kamala harris 3,661,680. And third is President Trump at 1,473,830. These are women donations. These are donations so everyone thats out there on the left making the talking point that women are answer thantitrumpor trump is antiwo. Issue that drives everyone to the polls is jobs and the economy. That is number one. Women are working their small business. They are running those businesses. They are feeding their families, they are working two or three jobs sometimes to put food on the table. That economy is booming right now. Thats where that comes from. Pete there are culture warriors. They see whats happening in our schools and our churches and elsewhere and they look at this president willingness to focus on patriotism, so jobs and the economy are big. But they look at what the left represents today and they see someone in trump who is willing to defend the founding principles of our nation. Free speech, the second amendment. Women vote on that stuff, too. Ed how do democrats make their case when there is a Strong Economy for the president we have a strong sound bite for Elizabeth Warren we will play it in a while. Will the media give the president credit on the economy . Friends foxnews. Com. No one was covering the economy last night. Jedediah headlines for you in the 6 00 a. M. Beginning with a fox news alert. At least four people are hurt when a factory suddenly explodes overnight. [explosion] wow, Surveillance Video capturing the ground shaking blast at silicone plant outside chicago. The explosion knocking out power to 1,000 people shattering windows across the area.

Pete President Trump hailing a New York Times report that admits finally two and a half years later that at least two spies infiltrated his 2016 campaign. But could there have been more .

I want to know how many spies, informants, whatever you want to call them were run into the Trump Campaign. I still dont know but were going to get the answer and were going to get it out to the American People. Ed he is pushing for answers. Devin nunes blockbuster fbi report to spy on the trump 20162016 campaign. Who are the key players and what questions could the Obama White House face . Joining me now former sent a director of the fbis Training Division mark morgan. Good morning, mark. Good morning. Ed bill barr said under oath before congress there was spying in the 2016 campaign and there was a collective freakout in washington. Now even the New York Times is saying yeah, basically there was spying. Right, ed, its just a distraction. Its kind of like is it a physical barrier or a wall. Spying, okay, so you can see it the use of investigative covert techniques to further counterintelligence investigation or you could call it spying. Tomato, tomato. The point is the fbi had the authority and the Legal Authority to do just that, to spy to use covert tactics. Thats not the issue. The issue is was it done appropriately under the Legal Framework and within the department of Justice Policy . Thats the question. Thats what nunes was talking about. Thats what barr is talking about. Whats the oversight. Its correct. Ed lets go through some of the key players and understand from you as a former fbi officials who well get these answers. George papadopoulos, of course, was approached by this woman who he says was flirting with him back in 2016 and trying to get information. He felt like maybe it was entrapment. You see the key players on the screen. James comey, Andrew Mccabe, peter strzok, these were. So folks pushing to approve this surveillance, the spying, whatever you want to call it how do you get to the bottom of exactly what happened . Tough bring him in. You have to keep talking to him. And all those players you just evan listed are just right. This is what the American People need to understand. An investigation at this level and to a president ial campaign. It absolutely would have gone to the highest levels. That means jim comey. Absolutely hands down. Mccabe all the rest of the players. They are key and they have got to be talked to hands down. What about as ar azra turk. He suggested she was flirting and wanted to entrap him in some way. What do we know about her now and what do we need to do collectively to figure out what really happened . So we still dont know a lot about who this individual is for sure. More than likely than not it was probably the undercover fbi agent the flirting, et cetera, thats not an issue. Thats covert operations. Thats what a confidential human source does or thats what undercover agent does. They try to elicit information. Again, there is no problem with that you have to go back to the predication. Walls the predication adequate to even start this investigation . What were the motives of these key players that you just listed . Thats the key. Who did this . Why did this . And was there a violation of the Legal Framework or policy doj . Thats what we need to get to. There are serious questions about that. Ed last question. Bill barr is the one as attorney general who is saying he is going to get to the bottom of this. There could be criminal prosecutions and the like. He said Something Else that caught my ear. He said under oath that if the fbi and the government in general had only used this woman we mentioned, the professor who has been mentioned, that would be a pretty paltry surveillance operation. He seemed to be suggesting, mark, there could be a whole lot more spying that he might know about that we dont know about yet. Meaning this is pretty small potatoes. There could be a lot more. He is absolutely right. Absolutely hands down why we need to continue to take a look at this. Ed mark morgan we appreciate your insight this morning. You bet. Ed marines make sacrifices every single day. Sending them to school should not be one of them. Givings out millions of dollars in scholarships.

Pete thank you, ed. Well, it is a timehonored tradition, the 57th annual leather neck ball. The mission is to honor marines by educating children. The t. Supports the Marine Corps Foundation which has given more than 125 million and 40,000 scholarships to military children. Here with more is the president and ceo of the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation veteran marine Lieutenant General Robert Rourke and scholarship recipient the daughter of a u. S. Marine. Isabel, i want to start with you. Congratulations first off. Thank you. Jedediah tell us about your story and what this has meant to you and what you plan to studdie. Right now i go to New York University and im planning on majoring in biology with a premedicine track. So my dad has been in the military since before i was born. He joined in 1995. And he has been in for about 24 years now. And he is still in. So, growing up, i moved around every three years, so i have been to about 8 different schools since kindergarten i have lived both in the country and overseas, i have lived in europe, arab sharks hawaii is pretty cool. Jedediah i bet. Yeah. So college is going to be the first place that im at for longer than two or clear years. Pete maybe nyu will be your longest stay. It will be. Pete what an amazing opportunity to give great kids like this whose fathers and mothers served our country. It is amazing. The fact fights that marines and navy coremen make to this country is incredible. We dont think their childrens education should be sacrificed as well which is why we do. This. Jedediah isabel, what has this meant for you to have this opportunity. I dont know if you envisioned this could ever come. Its a phenomenal opportunity. Also, you talked about all of the moving did you and all of that. Can you just speak a little bit to what that has taught you . So many lessons in that and resilience and just dealing with a lifestyle thats kind of hard. Definitely. I think moving around it has exposed me to a lot of different people and cultures especially. It really opened my eyes. And i think just where i am right now really is how i grew up really molded how i like what i wanted to pursue and come to the city i have never lived in new york before. And i think if i wasnt growing up like moving around a lot, i wouldnt be able to adapt as well. And yeah. Jedediah you are ready for new york city. Jedediah new york city needs you. General, to that point. We cover on this show a lot of looneyness in higher education. A lot of campuses gone sideways. Some of these Scholarship Recipients maybe couldnt afford to go to College Without this scholarship. What does the son or daughter of a marine add to a College Campus . Its incredible what they grow up with. You have heard the experiences 8 schools while she is growing up. They bring culture and history and honor and courage and commitment that the marine corps instills in their parents and they pass down. And they have integrity and moral courage and they dont quit. 90 of them graduate with a scholarship. Its incredible. Jedediah you are inspiring people across the country. An incredible cause. This is amazing. Congratulations. Pete whats the website. Mcff. Org. Marine corps. Well give out 8 million in scholarships. Jedediah also on foxnews. Com we have a link to it. Pete i picked the wrong service. Jedediah congratulations you are going to do great. Nyu is pretty awesome. You will love it. It is about to be off to the races for the Kentucky Derby. Janice scene getting ready for celebrities on the red carpet. Pete janice dean live at Churchill Downs. She is studying the book. Will she place her bet . Geico makes it easy to get help when you need it. With licensed agents available 24 7. Its not just easy. Its havingawalrusingoal easy roooaaaar its a walrus ridiculous yes nice save, big guy good job duncan way to go [chanting] its not just easy. Its geico easy. Oh, duncan. Stay up. No sleepies. It is a miracle. We could be talking about a different story this evening. So i think there is a lot to say about, you know, the professionalism of the folks that helped the passengers off the airplane. It very well could be worse. Ed it certainly could have been. This is a fox news alert. A boeing 737 carrying 143 people out of Guantanamo Bay slid off a runway and into a river in jacksonville, florida overnight. Jedediah 21 people are in the hospital with minor injuries. Pete boeing says it is providing Technical Assistance at the request of the ntsb which has a team head to the scene. Here to react we will bring in Oliver Mcgehee former u. S. Secretary of transportation. Ed good morning. Pete good morning oliver, thank you for joining us. What more can you give us . The commander there describes it as a miracle. No one killed, thank goodness. What happened . Well, i also call it the miracle on the st. John akin to the miracle on hudson with the great captain sully. What happened last night is we had a contaminated runway. That occurs when you have wet sur fossas of about oneeighth of an inch of standing water and last nights rains in jacksonville was about one half of an inch of standing water in 23 minutes. So when the plane was trying to do a hard touch down, it did some hydroplaning and also the pilots might have did some extra rudder control and thats what caused skidding. And it skid and naturally floated into the river. People were forced to step out onto the wings much like we saw on the miracle on the hudson. Jedediah oliver, is there anything that could be done in the future to prevent this kind of, you know, occurrence from happening again . Yes. The faa is on top of this as of september 2014. They had some rulemaking on mitigating overrun aircraft. And what they are trying to do is to get pilots more trained to look at types of landing emergencies so this is really about Scenario Analysis in flying and in simulations. So pilots all the time are trying to practice on how to land the bird safely. And keep it from running off the runway. They have a factor safety they put in here folks which is about 15 . That means that if you have available distance that they can program into their cockpitcockpits when they have these really sudden adverse weather conditions they could add about 15 landing distance in calculation and not have overruns again. Ed can you put this in broader context. We mentioned boeing has had problems recently from a laymans early look. It appears the rain and other factors and not something that would be a problem for boeing. But you would know more than us. I wonder can you put this in the context of boeing and their problems and also why did this plane take off from guantanamo if the runway was flooded . Was it flooding so fast that they had taken off and then all of a sudden it just got worse and worse as they were headed towards jacksonville . Excellent point. The weather was very Severe Weather. This was half an inch of rain in 23 minutes. They most likely were on the way to their destination when this downpour came. Boeing is stepping one ntsb we are always interested in what is happening with 7373s. They are on top of this and got their ears perked up. This is something that does happen occasionally. Additional Pilot Training according to the faa rule making would help. Pete Oliver Mcgehee, thank you very much for your time. We appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Pete only 90 miles from gitmo. Its a pretty quick trip. The rain came down fast. Jedediah we are going to turn to your headlines u. N. C.

Back to politics is joe biden the jeb bush of 2020 . The comparisons were made before he even announced. I did it. But is charles hurt, he says biden might end up being the lefts safe word. Will he be . As much for insuranc. As not safe drivers thats why esurance has drivesense. ® the safer you drive, the more you save. Although im not really driving right now that would be unsafe.

Mcdonalds is committing 150 Million Dollars in tuition assistance, education, and career advising programs. Prof Maria Ramirez mom and dad Maria Ramirez to help more employees achieve their dreams. Pete welcome back. Before joe biden officially threw his 2020 hat in the ring, there was talk his campaign would go much like the failed 2016 president ial bid of jeb bush. New York Magazine quote writing, quote bidens shock and awe strategy for 2020 race smells like jebs in 2016. But does it minimize the risk he could pose to the president s reelection efforts . Here with his take is charles hurt, political opinion editor for the Washington Times and Fox News Contributor. Charlie, good morning. Thanks for being here. A lot of us, myself included, made comparisons between jeb bush in 2016, joe biden today. Joe biden has been running for a week now. Your take . Yeah. He has been running for about a week but he has also been around for about, what, 50 years. Part of the problem here in washington. And to me, that is the biggest reason he is a lot like jeb bush. In that, you know, the bush family obviously was a dynasty. Biden is not part of a dynasty. But he has been around a very, very long time. And people get kind of tired of their politicians. But heres where i think joe biden, you know, could be somewhat of a threat. In previous elections, you know, democrats, republicans, they often, especially if they really really despise the guy thats sitting in the white house, they will kind of date all sorts of candidates, all kinds of crazy stuff and at the end of the day they go back to the safe bet. And the lane that joe biden is running in right now is the safe bet lane. And after they go and do their socialist thing with Bernie Sanders, all the crazy stuff with the different candidates that are running right now, i could see them in the end turning to a guy like joe biden. The problem with that though, of course, pete is thats what they did with john kerry in 2004. Its what republicans did with mitt romney in 2012. The problem is that if you are going with the safe bet, its the person thats not as exciting. Pete yeah. They are not enthusiastic about it and those candidates often lose. Pete there is a National Poll out recently and youve got to take that with a grain of salt because National Polls dont reflect where you need to win early on. It shows joe biden with a 30 point lead 44 . Bernie sanders 14. Kamala harris at 9 and others Harvard Harris poll just from may 1st. So, ultimately, are democrats opting at least early on toward the safe bet of the person they think could take on President Trump the best . Will that be where they end up . I think that is sort of what were looking at there. A lot of that has just to do with name recognition. And the fact that voters are not as tune in, certainly not nearly as turned i tuned ins the media is right now on the race. I do think once you get into the details and stuff, when bernie is talking about all this free stuff and people are talking about going to college for free and all this other stuff without ever talking about who is going to pay for all of this, thats going to sound appealing to a lot of these democratic voters. I think we will see you know, we will see those numbers change a whole lot. Like i said at the end of the day i wouldnt be surprised i mean, the democrats out there so dislike this president. Pete yeah. At the end of the day we cant this up and go with crazy bernie or go with safe joe or sleepy joe. And like i said, maybe that turns out to be a good strategy this year. But in previous years, you know, in elections like this are won on enthusiasm. If people, if your own base isnt thiewenthusiastic about te nominee you go the way of mitt romney. Pete thats what happened in 2012 with john kerry. Whats the rationale for the biden candidacy . You knew barack obama you will know me . I think its partly that and partly because he has run for president so many times and he feels like its his time. These politicians, you know, you dont just run for president once. You do it once and then you are addicted to it. And they cant help themselves. It doesnt matter that they dont have nothing to offer. Pete great point. Charlie hurt, thank you for your time this morning. You bet, pete. Pete two teens stranded at sea for hours treading water to survive. They said they cried out to god for help, and then they were rescued by a boat named a men. They join us live with their miraculous story coming up next. There they are.

After threading water and praying for two hours their saving grace came in the form of passing ships named amen. They are now certain god is real. Joining me with their incredible story. Tyler smith and heather brown. Tyler and heather, thank you so much for being here. When i read about this story i was completely blown away. I want to start with you, tyler and tell me how did this happen . How did you wind up out in the middle of the sea stranded . Obviously you see the out across the inlet thats not far. We are strong athletes so we start swimming were young teenagers we dont think about current. We are like we can do this easy. We just start swimming out. We had a point of reference that we were trying to swim to. And we kind of lost track of that and we didnt think much of it because the island is like a few feet like 10 feet away. We just tried to keep swimming to the island as much as we could but eventually things turned bad. Heather, you are in the water. You are stranded. What is going through your mind at that time . I didnt really quite want to believe that we were stuck it got to the point we were swimming and swimming and go hard swim direct there pull out some olympic swimmer moves but basically i saw like our point of reference and we were completely off track. And i was just kind of panicking to myself we are stuck. This cant be right. We can make it but we just keep drifting further and further. Tyler, how long were you actually out there on the water and at what point did prayer come in to play for you . We were in the water for around two hours i want to say. And the its extraordinary at the point i started praying we had a red buoy we grabbed on to and try to wait there until some reckless boat or our friends called someone to come and get us. We were going to stay there on the buoy. The current pushed us right past it. Thats the point i started to freak out. Honestly both my legs started to cramp. That going through your head, you cant swim anymore because both of your legs are cramped. You are hopeless and thats when i started to cry out to god like please send something. Please send someone or some miracle to come save us because i still want to see my family again heather tell us about this rescue must have seem like universe. How did this finally play out that you got rescued . So we were at the point where we were just floating look up to see how far away we were. At some point it seemed like it came out of nowhere. Because we had seen a couple boats past really far away when i looked up i saw this big boat, it was a really nice boat. It was a yacht. Already closer than the other ones were from the start. And i just had this feeling that like i knew we were getting out of there. Even if we had to like swim down this boat we were getting out of there. And when they pulled up. Or i guess they were to the left of us about 200 yards away. And i was screaming at the top of my lungs. Just like help or please, like over here. And i found this stick i found this random stick in the water and i was waiving it. Jedediah we are unfortunately running out of time. Incredible story i will could listen to it all day. Thank you so much for sharing it and certainly something that will make you think about religion, god and life that whole different way. Thank you so much for being here. Yeah. God saved me.

Ed he was dancing at the start of the show today. Jedediah if you are going to do back street for pete i need in sync. Pete dont deny your era. Ed probably the beatles. Pete thats not really fair. You are a young man. Ed thank you, i appreciate the support, jedediah. Jedediah you were gone last week. Glad you are back. Ed i missed you as well. A boeing 737 flying people out of Guantanamo Bay slid off the runway into the water. Jedediah officials calling it a miracle saying it could be much worse. Pete our own aishah is in our newsroom with the latest. Good morning. Good morning. The ntsb has a team heading to florida right now to investigate. This and boeing says they are providing Technical Assistance to that agency. So this boeing 737 charter flight is operated by miami air international. It was en route from Guantanamo Bay, cuba to Naval Air Station jacksonville a military airport at the Jacksonville Naval complex. Officials say the plane, for some reason, slid off the runway and then went right into the st. Johns river. The Jacksonville Sheriffs Office says the plane landed in Shallow Water. It was not submerged. 21 people were taken to the hospital but nothing critical so far. Unfortunately, there were some pets on board as well but they have not yet been retrieved because of some safety issues with the aircraft. Overall though, officials breathing a huge sigh of relief this morning. A miracle. We could be talking about a different story this evening. So i think there is a lot to say about, you know, the professionalism of the folks that helped the passengers off the airplane. It very well could be worse. And pete knows all about this. The charter flight carries military personnel contractors and Family Members on and off the military base. Jacksonville fire and rests could you says their special Operations Team had just trained for something just like this with their marine units earlier in the day so they were ready. Pete thats amazing. Turn to those guys and say this is not a drill. I know we did it this morning now we are doing it for real. God bless those folks. We had Oliver Mcgehee on the program. He is a assistant secretary for transportation. He knows all about this incident because we dont. And he put it into context for us. Take a listen. What happened last night is we had a contaminated runway. When the plane was trying to do a hard touchdown, it did some hydroplaning. And also the pilots might have did some extra rudder control and thats what caused the skidding. Boeing is stepping up with ntsb say look this is one of our aircraft we are always interested in whats happening with 737s, on top of this and got their ears perked up. This is something that does happen occasionally. But additional Pilot Training according to the faa rule making would help. Pete thankfully you have trained people on the ground. You have got military contractors coming from Guantanamo Bay. They know how to take orders and act decisively. In this case thankfully tragedy averted at least for now. Ed this is a boeing jet. Broader context. Safety issues recently. Trying to get on top of that the faa has been all over them. This has been a global story in this particular case there is no evidence or suggestion that boeing is to blame. As you heard from Oliver Mcgehee. It sounds like the weather really got out of hand rather quickly after the plane had taken off from Guantanamo Bay. The water was just rushing on to that runway in jacksonville. Obviously boeing, the faa, the ntsb will be all over this in the hours ahead. Thats why we wanted to bring you the latest, thankfully, it appears no doubt like something could have been a much bigger crisis has been averted. In the meantime, obviously the president has been talking a lot about how this russia investigation all started. And you will remember a couple weeks ago his attorney general, william barr, before the recent controversies of this past week. Pete manufactured controversy. Ed testified under oath that there was spying in the 2016 campaign. And the collective freakout in washington oh my god how could the attorney general, how could he say this . How could he back it up . Now you can see on the front page of the New York Times yesterday something we have been reporting on for a couple years now they are catching up and saying they are there, in fact, was at least surveillance, spying whatever you want to call it back in 2016. Jedediah devin nunes was on hannity talking about how sophisticated this spying actually was. Take a listen. I said this a year ago. And i got mocked and others got mocked. I said, look, im not interested if the Trump Campaign was spied on. That happened. Thats fact. I want to know how many spies, infortunates whatever you want twhatever informante run in the Trump Campaign. The New York Times story says two. Thats up from one. My guess is its a lot more than that. I want to know how many spies were run into the Trump Campaign and i still dont know but were going to get the answer and were going to get it out to the American People. Ed nunes has been ahead of the curve on this. What he said there is important. Attorney general barr in new testimony a couple days ago after that initial talk under oath about spying said that if this was the extent of this, George Papadopoulos and a woman in the bar, the professor that was involved, that would be pretty paltry of the fbi. That maybe this was much more so he fills at this indicated and we are only scratching the surface. For the attorney general to say either the fbi bungled this by only doing a little bit of spying and didnt get to the bottom of where russia was penetrating the Trump Campaign or this is the little bit weve seen of spying and the attorney general suggesting under oath there could be a whole bunch more and he is going to investigate it if there are more revelations, this story is just going to continue to blow up. Jedediah if you look at the Media Coverage of all of this though its so embarrassing for them. You look at all those clips of them saying oh, how dare they call it spying . That first, you know, of course its collusion. They have been so wrong on so many points . Ed they were sailing it was collusion before they had the facts. Jedediah unbelievable. Ed then they were saying it wasnt spying before they had the facts on that. Pete remember when devin nunes went to the white house because there was nowhere else to read the information. You could see ton his face the weight of the world. He was mocked openly. And called a partisan and a hack. And it turns out he was following the facts, which is what reporters are supposed to do. The New York Times caught up two years later. It will be very interesting to see whether there is any followup here. No incentive for the left wing media to follow through thats the problem. Ed mark morgan former fbi official was on the program a short while ago. He said there could be a lot more to come. Watch. The point is the fbi had the authority and the Legal Authority to do just that. To spy to use covert tactics. Thats not the issue. The issue is was it done appropriately under the Legal Framework and within the department of Justice Policy and this is what the American People need to understand. An investigation of this level and to a president ial campaign it absolutely would have gone to the highest levels. That means james comey. Absolutely, hands down mccabe all the rest of the players. They are key and they have got to be talked to hands down. Pete james comey, what did obama know and when did he know it . And what did Vice President know . He just said most scandalfree. Not a whiff of scandal in our administration. Jedediah right. Ed happened in 2016. Pete you have weekly luncheons with the president and have you access to that what did he know . That could be part of the 2020 campaign. Ed might be why john brennan and others lashing out after the president they might be under scrutiny as well. Jedediah issue for democrats for mueller to come forward and testify. Guess who is weighing in Lindsey Graham . Check out this letter from graham to mueller quote in particular attorney general barr testified that you believed Media Coverage of your investigation was unfair without the public release of those summaries. Please inform the committee if you would like to provide testimony regarding any misrepresentation by the attorney general of the substance of that phone call. So you see there, Lindsey Graham weighing in on the fact that it was reported in that phone call that mueller said hey, im not taking issue, william barr, with what you said you didnt mislead people here. Im not taking issue with the facts. Im taking issue with the way the media narrative played out on this. He is zeroing in on that right there. Pete we saw that typical. Leaks coming out of these things about conversations that were had right before bill barr went to capitol hill to testify one day didnt testify the other day because they moved the goal post. Listen, they got smacked by bill barr. Weighs a bawler there. He was candid. Weighs unapologetic. Im the touring. This is my view. I have a right to that view. Ultimately Lindsey Graham to say i want bob mueller to testify to me thats an indication that they are on the offense. They feel good. There is nothing there. Ed remember what he did in march. Put out this fourpage letter. Everyone wanted. He puts that out there. Remember what he has testified, to bill barr, that he offered bob mueller to take a look at that before hand and work with him on the sort of summary and he said no. You are the attorney general. Its up to you. I report to you. He pets that out there and everyone freaks out and says no, we want the whole report. He redactions. Puts the full report out there. Drag him up to the hill and say the Media Coverage is off or this or that. Pete they can read the report if they want. To say. Ed the whole report is online. Jedediah remember he bottom lined bob muellers findings. The purpose was to find out if there was no crime. What barr said there was no conspiracy and that mueller chose to not weigh in on whether or not there was obstruction. That was true. That is fact. Now, he didnt include bob muellers these are the days of our lives novelistic adventure part ii he chose not to do this because that was not his job. He bottom lined it and mueller doesnt like the bottom line. Pete yeah. And mueller chose not to bring charges or recommend charges from that second part of the report. Ed Lindsey Graham says look, its over. Some people dont know it yet but its over. Pete we dont have time for it but we are going to get to Bernie Sanders honeymoon. Ed in the soviet union. Pete said how he likes communism and. Thats a tease later on in the show. Jedediah maybe that will work for his campaign. You never know. Starting with a fox news alert.

Economy hitting new heights the april jobs report revealing 260,000 jobs added. Way above expectations. And the Unemployment Rate falling to 3. 6 in a near 50 year low. Here to break down what all this means is business and economics professor Kings College brian brethre brenberg. Thank you for being here. As we were talking in the greenberg you are rarely a man without words. Nobody was expecting these numbers. Even the white house as much as they believe in their economic policies are probably sitting there thinking man, that was a great jobs number this month. 260,000. I mean, this 3. 6 Unemployment Rate, lowest since 1969. I mean, there are people in their lifetime who just have not seen a number like that. It is completely foreign. Very good news for the administration. Here is why it is really good everyone looking at 2019 and saying this when the economy is going to start to slow down. We had the trump tax cut sugar high in 2018. But 2019. Pete it was amazing everywhere. That was the headline. Its funny, if you had read the headline prior to yesterdays job numbers. You would say its going to be okay number but 2019 still looks like a slow down. We get that number on top of 3 g. D. P. Growth First Quarter of this year. Again, thats like a 10year high number. Now you are looking at 2019, even 2020 and you are saying this economy could continue to roar. And if that happens, that has huge implications for 2020. Pete how does an economy keep roaring . We are in mid 2019. We have this pesty election in 20206789 things could change between now and then. Whats the important piece to keep this strong. Everyone said the tax cuts were a sugar high and put money in peoples pockets that eventually wears off and you get back to nothing. This is what they miss. When you cut taxes and cut regulation you change the economic landscape it changes how businesses invest money. What we have seen is worker productivity is going up, which means this isnt a sugar high. Its not a onetime bounce. We have changed how businesses are investing money. That has longterm implications. Its not just 2018. Its 2019. Its 2020. That means this thing has a lot more life than a lot of economists thought it would. Pete a lot of democrats saying okay, these are good numbers, but, it only benefits those at the top. Your perspective on wages and the forgotten men and women. The numbers just dont bear that out. We are seeing wages rise faster for lower income workers than higher income workers right now. Seeing wage growth at over 3 across the economy. We are seeing manufacturing job growth that slow down a little bit the past couple months but nearly 500,000 the first two years of the Trump Administration. So what we are see something broad based gains. Everybody is gaining here. And the more they see that money in their pockets, the more they start to say, am i going to trust the numbers im seeing and the money in my paycheck or trust the big promises where nobody wants to put pete its a heck of a magic wand. I dont think voters at the end of the day are going to believe a magic wand as the data they feel in their pocket and see it. Pete Minnesota Twins are in town. Come on twins.

Pete go for it. Jedediah on his birthday on wednesday. Thats according to the new york daily news. De blasio would become the 22nd democrat to join the race. The mayors representatives deny the report saying he has not made a decision. Pete America Needs mayor bill. Jedediah one white house hopeful already in the race secures his spot on the democratic primary debate stage. Julio castro announced he reached the donor threshold set by the dnc. The former san antonio mayor received donations from 65,000 individual donors. Thats a big one. Pete we will need a bigger stage. Jedediah two tiers. Pete i like that. Ed meanwhile the trial of an accused serial killer dubbed the Hollywood Ripper beginning this week. Michael is accused of killing multiple women, including one who dated actor Ashton Kutcher. Kutcher was supposed to go on a date with the actress who was murdered in 2001. He went to the house but left when she didnt answer the door. She was found dead the next morning found dead stabbed 47 times. The actor could be called in to testify. Jedediah here is emily compagno. I find the Ashton Kutcher angle fascinating because i have been watching him for years. How do you see him playing out . I dont know that he will be called to testify to be honest. Main take away this was extremely brutal murder this man was on trial for. It happened almost 11 years ago. This is he has been accused of serial murders and one of them an attempt is why he was eventually arrested and caught. He basically tried to do the same thing to another woman while she was screams. While she was sleeping. She fought back and he ran out and thats why he was arrested. The pretrial has dragged on for 11 years. So the reason im not quite sure if ashton will be called to testify because frankly his testimony would not be that persuasive. Its not that material. He went there to pick her up for the date, looked in the window. Saw what he thought was wine on the carpet and we learned later it was blood. And her roommate called the police the next morning. Pete how does a pretrial drag out for 11 years. Obviously an aberrant element to our system and our tax dollars are paying for that. When i saw him in court i didnt recognize him. 11 years from mugshot was. Pretrial motion was whether to bring in he has been accused of the same type of murder in 1993 in illinois which he has yet to stand trial for also. Where is the closure for that family, too. So, the prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Obviously, there is a that tore yuamoratorium. I hoped thats removed from the table another hold up and our tax dollars pays for. Ed College Entrance scam if you will keeps on rolling. One of the moms who paid i think over 6 million to get kids into school now saying somehow she is the victim. Here is a statement from mrs. Zells lawyer, her generosity has been taken advantage of. This generous act was not only done for the good of the school and opportunities but done out of the school. Many affluent parents have been doing openly to prestigious universities. They basically gave a bunch of money to the university. It was apparently because they wanted to get the kid in and under the table, sort of. Now they are saying a lot of people buy buildings. Right. A lot of people buy buildings. Whats interesting about that particular set of parents is that second set from china. They have not been charged i doubt they will be. A tenuated part to prove on the part of the prosecution that they did in fact know what was going on. That daughter has since been expelled from stanford the other daughter from chinese parents has been expelled from yale. I think at this point they will be lucky to skate away cleanly with just that given what the other parents are going through. Pete not illegal to do it the Old Fashioned way. Give a bunch of money to the school and maybe should give another look at my kids application. Undue infliewnd is okay because thats always worked. Thats sparked internal investigations other schools basically reviewing their ethics and how that many a occasion process works. How the admissions and acceptance process works to ensure thats not just oh thats how we always do it and we accept it. Right . Pete look at all those ivy league schools. No money slushing around anywhere. Jedediah different. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you. Ed new reports that north korea just tested short range projectiles.

North korea launching multiple short range projectiles off its coast according to local reports. Jedediah here now with what that means fox news Foreign Correspondent trey yingst. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. Jedediah what do you make of this new situation with north korea. Situation for United States looking to ultimately denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. This has been a goal of the Trump Administration since the president took office. And this adds a new element to how the administration is going to be able to move forward with the regime in pyongyang. You saw the president earlier this year in vietnam trying to work with north Korean Leader kim jong un in an effort to find Common Ground and work towards these goals. You saw him last year in singapore trying to do the same thing. But the underlying message here from the North Koreans is that they remain prepared should this not ultimately lead to a resolution. The Trump Administration going to continue pushing but, it does appear that they are trying to send a message that they are going to be strong negotiators. Ed message from north korea came just a few days after kim jong un was meeting in russia with Vladimir Putin so the white house has to raise an eyebrow there about what putin is up to and in fact Sarah Sanders overnight said they are monitoring the situation didnt give us much more than that but the putin angle is interesting as well. Spoke with russian president Vladimir Putin. He said they actually talked about north korea. So this issue of you who the russians are going to play a role in the leading to a denuclearized Korean Peninsula certainly going to be an interesting part of this story to watch. Pete Nicholas Maduro clinging on to power. Whats going on next. Right now we have correspondents not only in caracas. Steve harrigan there and ellison barber on the border. Watching angles to this story. Not only humanitarian angle civilians trying to flee the violence erupting in venezuela also have the u. S. Military and u. S. Government posturing. The past 48 hours have been key for the Trump Administration and the pentagon the tank room you have top military brass looking to send a message to Nicholas Maduro that if you do not leave power the United States is considering all options. U. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo this week saying all options are on the table. He would not rule out military action in those meetings in the pentagon. Do appear to be an effort by the u. S. Military and government to send that message that they believe the formal leader of venezuela is juan guaido is not Nicholas Maduro. They would like to see a peaceful resolution according to the reports that we have read this week. Speaking on the issue of peace. I wanted to talk to you a little about progress being made potentially in the middle east. Jared kushner come out and addressing this core issue. Is there progress being made in has big steps been made since the Trump Administration came into power. As we unique the Israeli Military is striking targets inside the gaza strip after more than 100 rockets were actually fired this morning. When you talk about peace in the region such a complex issue and the administration is trying to address it the reality on the ground though is that are it doesnt look good. You have the president and his team jason green ballot and Jared Kushner trying to release a middle east peace plan as early in the next few weeks. The reality on the ground does not match up with what Jared Kushner said. He said this week he thought it would be a good starting point for peace in the middle east. Good starting point for who is the palestinians factions have. We spoke with hamas inside out gaza strip and Palestinian Authority they do not believe the Trump Administration is going to be able to address the needs of palestinians. Israelis also likely not going to be happy with some of the key points in the plan because it could mean giving up some land to palestinians which is a political point as you know very well having just been there a nonstarter for me. Pete great to have you on the couch. We normally see you on the gaza border or jerusalem. Do you a great job for us. Thanks for the documentary. We will be back in the fall. He had very a great crew in jerusalem. We have incredible team. Jedediah thank you for being here. Thanks.

Ed number of democrats made themselves pretty clear when it comes to impeaching the president. If donald trump wants to push us into impeachment proceedings, is he doing a good job of trying to push us to go there. Certainly, i think there are grounds for impeachment. Ed new poll says American Voters dont agree. Will that strategy backfire . We debate it live next.

If donald trump wants to push us into impeachment proceedings is he doing a good job trying to push to us go there. Yes, the president commit you had impeachable offices. Certainly i think there are grounds for impeachment. Ed grounds for impeachment. Democrats have not given up their calls for calls to push the president out. Voters dont seem to agree. Support has reached a new low in a quinnipiac poll only 29 saying he should be impeached. So a democratic attacks on the president proving to be pointless. Here to debate. Democratic strategist and our friend jason nicoles and host of the Michael Knowles show. Of course he would be named Michael Knowles. Good morning to both of you. Good morning, ed. Good to see you. Ed jason, as Lindsey Graham said this week, its over. You just dont know it yet. Well, again, i think people are looking at this all wrong, ed. I dont think that impeachment is not me removal its a process of inquiry. Obviously through bob muellers letter, some of the really abnormal things we have seen from bill barr and many others, there is reason to want to see more into to let congress do its job. Ed get milk call in here. Pardon me. I cant let all of that stand you say the weirdness from bill barr. He is the attorney general. He is. Ed the special counsel reports to him. He says give me the report. He gets the report and puts over 400 pages out there for you and michael and the whole world to see. Where did he go wrong . Well, again, people have asked for the unredacted report. He will not allow for that to happen. And in addition, he didnt come back when asked by congress. Congress role is oversight. Thats one of their major roles. And he is he was against that and i think thats a real problem. If he wants to join trumps legal team, i would say go ahead and do that. Ed again, you are going after bill barr we will get to that in a moment. Get michael in here. I didnt hear jason answer the central question the public doesnt want impeachment and yet he and democrats seem to want this to be an open question. Why would they want impeachment . You have unemployment at 49year lows average wages up to 27. 77 per hour. The stock market cannot stop rising. Is the democrats pitch here let us impeach trump and then everything will get worse again . I dont think thats going to sell in the democrats have this central problem which is that the majority of voters overwhelmingly reject impeachment. The majority of democrats still support impeachment. So, short of impeachment, they are going after trump. They are going after barr. This is really playing with fire. Mueller time is over. Its time to pay the bar tab. I think they are very afraid of what the attorney general is going to find when he digs in to the origins of some of those politically motivated investigations two years. Ed mueller time is over. Its time to pay the bar tab. Jason, i cant say it over. How do you answer that . Final word. I think we need to understand what impeachment is. Its not a popularity contest. Its there is a reason that impeachment is not a referendum. It is the role of congress. And if the president is has committed impeachable offenses then we have got to go through with the process. Ed it sounds to me, michael, last word from you that democrats dont want to accept the reality. Maybe their base is pressing the leaders to keep this open. What say you . We are arguing over some letter that barr wrote or some conversation on the phone with bob mueller. All of this is secondary. The Mueller Report is out. We can read it. I think all of us here have read the Mueller Report. All of the relevant sections. It exxonner rates the president. Sorry, democrats. Its time to move on. It actually says it doesnt exonerate the president. Thats exactly what it says it does not do. Ed jason, i give you the world a couple times you still havent made the case. We shall see where this all goes. Jason and michael, always good to have you in on the weekend. Thanks, mike, thanks, ed. Good to see you. Ed a program for combat veterans for combat vets horsemanship and networking at the same time. The cofounder of war horses for vets join us as we continue our week long we built that series.

Jedediah in day six of we built that series we are highlighting a program developed by combat veterans for combat veterans. When Patrick Benson completed his military service he founded his own horse training business and after he saw the impact horses were having on him, he wanted all veterans to experience the same thing. The cofounders of war horses for Veterans Army veteran Patrick Benson and pat brown join us now. Thank you so much for being here. We talked a little bit before i love horses i find them so he therapeutic amazing venture you put together. Patrick i want to talk about you were an army veteran. What was your motivation for starting this particular business . I think it was over time it was the coming from combat in 2003 i was in invasion in the infantry and 2004 i left. There is not much of a transition. Get out and grind and take those principles that we learn in the military and apply to building your own business and building your brand. Soon after that i realized working with the horses what it was doing for me. As a combatant. And then soon i got an one of the greatest opportunities to me patricia and amy brown. They believed and saw this and had a passion for horses and veterans war horses for veterans came about. Jedediah pat, how did you get involved initially in this prosays . Well, i met patrick and my father flew the hump in world war ii. I always had an affinity for veterans. My husband, andy, has always raised and ridden horses. So it just seemed like a natural fit. Jedediah how has working with the veterans had an impact on you and your life . Its been amazing. I seen men and women come to the farm looking over their shoulders and feeling uncomfortable. And after a few hours of working with the horses, everybody is all smiles and the camaraderie starts. Its unbelievable to watch the transformation. Jedediah im sure. What do you say to generation who come back and serve and interested in becoming entrepreneurs it can seem intimidating at first. Do you have any advice for them how to start. I do. Entrepreneurship and owning your own craft and building your brand its yours. No one is going to put as much energy and effort is yourself. I would say like, you know, if you love and it pursuing something you are good at, you will make it work. Its a lot of work. Its hard. Look at what we went flew combat. Come on, how hard is it really . Make sure you know, tap into resources. Find mentors there is a great generation right now. We said from the baby boomer that is slowing down. Look at retirement they want to mentor and help the jennings generation of entrepreneurs come forward and be successful. Jedediah its important to point out there is no fee for veterans to join this program. What has been the impact that you have seen, pat, with veterans working with horses in particular . You know, i used to visit horses when i was a kid all the time. They are so calming. They are so therapeutic. I think of vets struggling with p ts and things of that nature. What have you seen upclose and personal . When you put anyone in a confined area with a thousand pound animal. They tend to empty their brain and focus on the animal. We see a deep exhale when they start working with the horses and by afternoon of the first day they are all riding the horses. Jedediah wow. Even the ones who say im not getting on a horse. They are on a horse. Jedediah yeah. Its pretty amazing. Jedediah thank you both so much for being here. This is a beautiful venture. I know a lot of people are going to be checking you guys out. Because this is a great opportunity for vets. Absolutely. Jedediah thank you. Appreciate it so much. Tom homan, dan bongino and congressman dan crenshaw coming up. From good times.

Yup, thats how i know it is the puresttasting water. I need to find the receipt for that. Oh yeah, you do. Rock and roll that kind of music just sooths the soul. Ed a live look at Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby held in a few hours from now i went a few years ago with my friend kelly kraft now the nominee for u. N. Hard worker, good friend and man we had fun there because they do my old kentucky home at the end of the race. Everybody stands and there is all this pride. It really brings a tear to your eye it is so much fun all day and then at the end at the end of the race the quickest two minutes in sports and all the build up and hype and then it happens and its over. You say what do you do now and they started doing my old kentucky home. And everybody is standing at attention and the pride. Pete i dont know which one is a mudder. War of will, win win win, code of honor. Ed that sounds like you. Pete win, win, win. 14 to 1 thats my pick maybe she is a mudder. I hope she is. Ed we are having our own Kentucky Derby. Jedediah im a little frightened. Ed inflatable kind of horses. Its a little wet out there. I dont want my win to be shrouded in some sort of controversy if pete slips. Pete whats eds nickname second place ed. He is starting to earn it. Ed i heard pete when i wasnt on the couch yesterday saying this is my year of redemption. Pete it is my year of redeposition on at love levels. Jedediah what if i beat you both im sitting here. Telling you man. Pete you might. No helmets allowed, ed. You cant wear helmets. Jedediah we start with a fox news alert. A boeing 737 carrying 143 people out of Guantanamo Bay slides off a runway and into a river in jacksonville, florida. Officials amazed there are only minor injuries. It is a miracle. We could be talking about a different story this evening there is a lot to say about the professional of the folks that helped the passengers off the airplane. It very well could be worse. Jedediah the ntsb has a team heading to florida to investigate. We have a live report in minutes. Also breaking overnight. At least one person is dead following a fiery crash in san francisco. Two vehicles and a tour bus are involved in the fatal highway wreck. Officials shut down the roadway as crews work to put out the fire. The cause of the crash is unclear but police are investigating. And north korea launches shortrange projectiles off its eastern coast overnight according to south korean officials. The white house says its monitoring the situation. The projectile flew up to 125 miles before falling into the east sea. South Korean Military officials confirmed the projectiles were not missiles. The launches come amid stalled talks between the u. S. And north korean regime. Pete now we are turning to the nba the portland trailblazers outlast 140 to 137 in quadruple overtime thriller. Millsap. Picked off by mccallum. Finally over. The blazers win it in four overtimes. Pete i watched the highlights this morning when i was supposed to be preparing for the show. Both teams had a chance to win that game. Portland takes the series lead 21. And Milwaukee Bucks take their own with a win over the boston celtics. They could not stop the greek freak last night. Ed that score closer on paper it was a blow out. Jedediah how do you even reach that basket. Im small i cant even envision maybe like pete these guys are 7 feet tall they can jump out of the gym. Ed maybe pete can show you this is his year of redemption. Pete i already showed you that. Ed three pointer. Big news on the economy. We want to get to that. I was talking off air with Stuart Varney a l he said ed, its even bigger than you guys said. He said this proves that the president s policy of cutting taxes and cutting regulations has worked. Its not just job growth. It is also wage growth. You look at jobs added 263,000 added in the month of april. 3. 6 Unemployment Rate. That is a record low going to a 1969. And then look at the wages. Wage growth. Average Hourly Earnings up over the past year 3. 2 . Hourly wages hit 27. 77 an hour. Remarkable. And what Stuart Varney was telling me from the Fox Business Network is look now the ball is in the Democrats Court for 2020. Do they want to go backwards from what the president has done on taxes and regulations . Pete im going to pull a steve doocy. America is working says the New York Post. And they are exactly right. Its a really tough to run against an economy like this when as Brian Brenberg pointed out earlier in the show, harvard professor good friend of mine. Feeling impact in the middle. Industry and jobs coming back. Trading in old job for a new one that pays more. Taking on a second job in a flexible economy. This is really, really good news for the president. More importantly for our country when we were told for years under obama we were headed for decline. Jobs never coming back. Here we are. Jedediah how the media covered it once again fascinating. Another aspect breeding distrust in america. Take a walk down memory lane. October 2016 the Washington Post Editorial Board a President Trump could destroy the world economy. [laughter] october 2016 politico economists a trump win would tank the markets. November 2016. We are very probably looking at a global recession. Paul krugman. New york times. Very very probably jedediah effort to derail trump. Amazing how many people claim to be journalists and objective cant be objective enough to give it a minute and be accurate in their predictions or reporting or at achilles the openmindedness what may or may not have occurred. Doom and gloom it to high heaven and look like a bunch of idiots looking at the numbers sitting there we have it all on tape. This is the ear wrath replaying clips, my friends. We have the tape. Pete thats scary. Ed i was going to say. Pete reality is they cant trick the American People who can step out and take that opportunity and they certainly have. Ed they are trying. Look at what nancy pelosi said these economic numbers she says the april jobs report numbers show some promising news. Thats the only positive thing she could say. Immediately pivots yet these gains hide the true weight of the Economic Uncertainty felt by millions of hardworking americans. Now, the statement went on with all kinds of other negative stuff we highlighted that part because you have got the positive and negative. I think that shows you how hard it is for Democratic Leaders to try to make bad news out of good news is what they are trying. Because this is blow out. Wage growth shows that it is helping the middle class you spoke about a moment ago. Its not just helping the rich as democrats tried to say about the tax cuts. Pete both sides try to spin. Same thing under obama. Good numbers republicans try spin them as poor. In this case its really disingenuous to make these numbers look bad. Senator Elizabeth Warren running for president. Always goes by the name pocahontas asks how she is going to sell her message to voters. She is in iowa. This is what she said. Im always glad to see when people have more jobs and more money in their pockets. But i think the lived experience of much of america is basically flat wages for a generation now. And rising expenses for housing, for healthcare, for preschool, for trying to get a kid through school. Americas middle class is being hollowed out. But we have a chance to change that. And i got a plan. Ed her place to try to say look, wages didnt go up for 30 years before trump got in office. And the middle class is being hollowed out. That doesnt square with the facts. I will give you another big thing that doesnt necessarily square with the facts either. House democrats, particularly judiciary chairman jerry nadler continues to go after the attorney general, right . You saw the testimony on the senate side a couple days ago. One attack after another, bill barr giving as good as he got. Now there is this letter from jerry nadler saying we are going to hold you in contempt of congress if you dont show up and give us what we want by monday morning in terms of a new deal to testify soon. The committee, nadler writes is prepared to make every realistic effort to reach an accommodation with the justice department. If the department persists in its baseless refusal to comply with the validly issued subpoena, the committee will move to contempt proceedings and seek further legal recourse. Pete nadler is trying to hold de facto impeachment hearings. He is the center of the resistance in congress which is trying to flex its muscles and say we are a coequal branch, which they are. But ultimately bill barr stonewalled them and said you cant change the rules and i still show up. You dont get your staffs to interrogate me and oh by the way i already gave you the Mueller Report responsibly redacted and oh by the way jerry nadler if you want to go read it its available in full to you if you want. To say its all been handled responsibly i dont know where he thinks, jedediah, that he is winning this. Is anyone looking at jerried inadler and saying go, go . Jedediah i think the democrats need to keep this alive only thing they have got. What are they going to do give those ridiculous statements about the economy that make no sense . Pete thats true. Good point. Jedediah holding on to this as good as they can. Kimberly strassel had an interesting point about barr and why he is getting attacked. Take a listen. What you are really seeing here are people expressing their fear because there are a lot of very powerful people that will be affected by this. They have successfully for a couple of years managed to make sure there was no oversight at the department of justice, no outsider taking a look at this. Barr not only has come in but he says and he will not back down from his saying he is going to finally get some answers out and that is provoking the reaction. The goal here is to demean him and hurt his integrity to try to undermine what he ultimately puts out. Ed Kimberley Strassel of the wall street journal and others ahead of the curve. Bill barr is potentially going after James Comey Andrew mccabe and others who started this whole investigation and whether or not they were truthful with the fisa warrants that went before that court. Pete the leaking and all of that . Ed bill barr saying is he going to get to the bottom of it might be why he is under attack right now. Pete exactly. Being accused of attacking the president s political opponent. Is he going back and looking where this whole thing started. Between his investigation and Michael Horowitz we still havent seen the beginning of the whiplash against the investigators who appear to have acted quite irresponsibly. Speaking of another topic though. And this is your favorite. Jedediah everyone at home i know you have been waiting with baited breath the democratic stage for 2020 has not been complete but it may be soon. Ed not enough candidates. Jedediah new york city mayor bill de blasi bill dede bo unites the president no one wants him to run for president but he may be actually running for president. That was what was missing bill de blasio. Everyone in new york let out a ceasefire really . Ed he keeps saying the door is open he is deciding. Nobody wanted you nobody thought you were weighing this. There is already 22 candidates mayor bill not that popular here in new york city. Pete covered events where he goes to these states and the crowd is like 10 people. Ed literally. Pete we have robert wolf in insider. I wonder what he thinks about bill de blasio. Tries to raise his name i. D. Doing it poorly. Trying to run companies out of state. His rationale is the problems are bigger in order to save new york city i have to change Climate Change. Have you ever seen a more selfinterested politician . Jedediah what is bill de blasio going to bring to that stage that is unique . Pete he is tall. Jedediah he is tall. Everyone is trying to bring their own thing to the table and i get it. What does he bring . He is not successful in new york. New york everywheres are not by and large happy with him. Pete working at 10 30. 11 00. Kind of a low energy guy. Jedediah i dont know. Pete funny. Add another chair to the stage. Jedediah i told you two tiers like the movie theaters have elevated seats thats what we need. Pete bottom tier frontrunners . Ed president de blasio . Jedediah i know you are all excited secretly. Mexico deported nearly 15,000 migrants last month. Is the American Government finally listening to President Trump . Mexican government finally listening to President Trump and helping to curb the crisis . Retired ice director tom homan has worked with mexico for decades and he is coming up next. Its not just easy. Its havingawalrusingoal easy roooaaaar its a walrus ridiculous yes nice save, big guy good job duncan way to go [chanting] its not just easy. Its geico easy. Oh, duncan. Stay up. No sleepies. Ed fox news confirming overnight mexico deporting 15,000 migrants last month alone. Thats a 20 increase in march according to the countrys National Institute of migration. Pete could this be a sign that the Mexican Government is finally listening to President Trump . Here to react is retired ice director and Fox News Contributor tom homan. Thanks for being here this morning. So people may point to this number. Are you optimistic that Something Like this is big enough and will be sustained . Look, im glad its happening. But i will hold my optimism to see if its going to be sustained operation. Look, i have been done this for 34 years. I started Border Patrol 1994. I have seen many dog and pony shows something sustained throughout. If so, then i will be more optimistic. Also, what they still need to do is secure their southern border, right . They need to stop the flow. They need to attack the criminal cartels the machine behind. This it used to take weeks from these people get from southern mexico to northern mexico now its taking days. They have to shut down the machine the criminal cartels making a lot of the money moving a lot of the people. The more people they move the more money they make. We know the stats 1 3 of women are raped. Children are dying. A child died the other day on the border. They need to attack the criminal cartels and dismantle them. Once they start doing all of this i will be optimistic. Ed is this a sign president is getting progress with mexico . Think about here at home after months and months of democrats saying its a manufactured crisis. We have seen jay johnson and other democrats. We have talked about it on the program have said look, this is a legit crisis. Lets figure it out. Now you also have mexican officials maybe saying yeah, there is a problem here. Look, absolutely, i think President Trump is making a huge difference, right . I saw your earlier segment where they want to impeach him for obstruction. The guy was sitting on the sidelines now a politician, who has obstructed more than congress. They have obstructed this president from day one trying to secure the border and trying to enforce the law and protect americans. Maybe they ought typically peach themselves, just saying. I think this president is doing a great job. This president has laid the gauntlet down. Is he has taken it seriously. He is not only talking the talking but walking the walk. We have the president at the right time doing the right thing for america. Look, it feels good after 34 years of seeing this happening. Pete thats a great point. We follow griff on the ground your report, its confusing to seat Mexican Government seems to be in and not do anything and not secure their border. So a lot of that remains to be seen. We want to get your thoughts on one more topic. The state of florida appears to be poised to ban sanctuary cities. There is a bill on the desk of governor ron desantis. Are steps like this in these states an important part of the equation . Absolutely. And god bless the state of florida. I mean, i congratulate their lawmakers, obvious great americans. And great patriots that believe in the rule of law. And they didnt bow to the immigration advocates, open border advocates that want sanctuary cities. You know, the argument from the advocates are we have sanctuary cities so victims and witnesses of crime feel free to report crimes. That is such a false narrative because ice only wants access to the county jail. Unless the police are arresting vehicles and arresting, you know, witnesses to crime, i just ice doesnt know they exist. Releasing a Public Safety threat back in the public when he can be removed from the country is just stupid. I think what florida did was great. I wish the state of california, city of new york, city of chicago would follow their lead. Ed all right, tom homan former ice director who now heads from the tv studio to weight lifting workout which i understand is your saturday morning routine. We talked about that off the air. Go get them. Pete not a bad routine. I wouldnt want to weight lift with him. On my way. Ed blockbuster reports for april adding more fuel to trumps economic record heading into 2020.

Officials say there is no threat to the public and an elderly couple in australia gets quite a surprise when they mistakenly receive a 7milliondollar shipment of, yes, meth. Once the couple realize you had what the 44 pounds of white powder was, thankfully they called the police. A man in a nearby town was arrested and charged with importing the meth. Not a good idea. Pete . Pete big mistake. Jedediah not a good idea. Pete another win for the trump economy Unemployment Rate falling to half century low in april. The economy adding 263,000 jobs. Jedediah President Trump hinting that all of this economic success could be a problem for 2020 democrats. Our economy is raging and when we have an economy that maybe is the best economy we have ever had, people then to like you. [laughter] ed how will democrats respond to all of this robert wolf, a Fox News Contributor a advisor to president obama. I would much rather talking about the Kentucky Derby. Ed you are a man who knows a lot about the economy and you have been on the program before. Im a capitalist. He had thread are good things the president has done but also raised questions about the tax cut and who it helped. You see these economic numbers. How do the democrats run a credible case against the president when the economy is pretty good. Let me talk about the positive. Yesterday was a great day for the country. Strong nic numbers is always a good thing. Wages went up thats always a good thing. It is the 103rd straight month of private sector job gains. I have to say 77 straight for obama and now 27 for the president. Thats good and i hope it continues. But it is not as if this hasnt been going one way. With respect to g. D. P. And wages, all in the right direction. Those are good things. And i would agree with the president if we dont have as democrats a strong economic message it will be a brutal 2020 campaign. That being said, i think we will be able have to have an economic message because here are some of the things that i would say when i was advising obama and if i was advising President Trump. One, the Labor Participation rate is still around 63 . Were still not having enough people working. If only 63 of those people are participating in the economy, then actually one third isnt. Secondly, its great that we have 7 million job openings but we also have 7 Million People it could be 5 to 7 looking for jobs. Which means we still have an incredible skills miss match. In this country we do. We dont have enough people in science, technology, engineering which is why we have to tap in on immigration. And then the third thing is what we saw in the Fourth Quarter is four out of 10 people could not have afforded a 400 emergency. These are things we have to irrespective of who the president is. Those are things that continue to haunt us as a country and we need to fix that. Pete under the trump time we have seen Record Number of people come off the food stamps and enter into the workforce. Do you think voters are really going to say this is the obama recovery because it was a flat line quasigrowth and then had you trump come into office. And correlates almost directly with that time the optimism, the money thats flooded into the economy. The tax cuts and deregulation. I mean, it wasnt going like this for obama. It was steady. So do you really think that biden or others can go to the voters and say im going to take credit for this economy . Ed talkineconomy . He had. That being said, our economic message cannot be rewant to go back to the obama economy. Even though i actually think we know we took us out of a deep recession. It has to be what are you doing Going Forward . Not looking back. So, all of these 21 going to 23 candidates are going to have an economic message. And we talked about it last weekend. They are all checking the boxes, which are important on gun reform and immigration and healthcare and criminal justice but they have to have a strong economic message. When you go into the voting booth you are going to say who is the best person to help me and my family on Kitchen Table things like and wages is key. So we have to change our economic message and we have to show we have one. Jedediah what do you make of bill de blasio potentially entering . I know there was a big vacancy and really waiting for him. What do you think . Do you think he have something unique to bring to the table that democrats are going to get excited about . Im struggling to find it . He is a red sox fan. Can i at least start with that i have to start with a high as a boston guy. I think that where the mayor fits is in the populist left lane and right now that is completely owned by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Jedediah beto. I would say beto is more of a progrowth progressive than a populist. His clean energy wasnt about jobs with respect to 100 percent guaranteed. So, anyone who is going into that lane is in trouble because thats already locked and stocked. Its somewhere between 20 and 30 . Thats between bernie and elizabeth. Im not sure where i see his lane. Honestly, i dont think we need a 21st, 22nd, 23rd but it will make for fun june and july debates. Ed you know better than anyone as a capitalist. New york they have been leaving. Listen, new york city really has to change its tax because people are going to leave the city. Its too expensive. Ed robert wolf, thanks for coming in. Thanks for having me in.

Venezuela may be on the brink of ousting disputed president Nicholas Maduro following nearly a week of violent protest. Ed our correspondent ellison barber is live at the border. Good morning, ellison. Good morning to all of you. Opposition leader and the u. S. Backed president juan guaido called for more protests this morning. Tuesdays attempted uprising or guaidos attempt on tuesday to start an uprising and finally oust maduro led to violent clashes but maduro he stayed and the country seemed to settle back into a political stalemate. Guaido took to twitter asking for soldiers to protest outside of military bases across venezuela. At 10 00 a. M. Local time thats this morning. Disputed president Nicholas Maduro continues to demonstrate his strong code on the military and new report in the Associated Press detailed separate occasions where the u. S. Government missed chances to develop relationships with top venezuelan generals people who could have been key to ousting maduro. In recent days President Trump seemed to down play the possibility of military intervention but u. S. Help could be on the way. The administration is reportedly planning to send a u. S. Navy hospital ship here the coast of columbia coloa as they did last year to try to care for migrants who have fled venezuela. We have spoken to many refugees on the colombiavenezuela border. They come here because they have no food no, work, no education back in venezuela some people come temporarily some people move here and stay. A lot of refugees live in this neighborhood behind me. Its a neighborhood thats thats all of these people were here yesterday and we were actually right over here near just behind this tree which shots started to ring out. [gunfire] that. Gunfire seemed to start on the venezuelan side and come from illegal gang like militia. They control dirt roads where many venezuelan migrants try and illegally cross into colombia. They have to pay that gang like militia in order to get to the other side. Colombian Officials Say at least one person was injured in yesterdays shooting. Jedediah, pete, ed . Ed thank you, ellison, outstanding reporting there. While she was speaking by the way our own Lucas Tomlinson at the pentagon is saying a spokesman for the u. S. Southern command saying the military still weighing a decision whether to send that hospital ship that she mentioned no final decision has been made.

Thats one of the things have you got to do when you are on tv. Ed good luck today, buddy. Jedediah so cute. Pete tell them hello for us. Ed good luck in the race. Pete a journalism watchdog forced to scrap their list of unreliable news sources. Turns out their list wasnt reliable. Ed imagine that. Pete a number of conservative outlets shocking targeted. A writer one of those news outlets joins us next im swinging with my eyes closed indeed. Are you in good hands . Journalism watchdog pointer now forced to scrap their list of unreliable news sources because, as it turns out, the list wasnt reliable. Backlash grew as several conservative websites were mistakenly targeted and pointer took down the list replacing it with an apology. Next guest a writer for one of the websites targeted producer at the daily signal and the heritage foundation. Hey, kelsey, how are you doing today. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Jedediah im looking at this list, i see life news, free beacon, drudge report, daily caller, red state. There is a lot of conservative web sites on here. What do you make of it. Yeah, very conveniently conservative news sites were grouped in and labeled by poynter as unreliable or fake news which is a pretty serious smear coming from what is supposed to be a nonprofit Journalism Institute and conveniently, many of the far left news sites were left out of that. Think progress, for example, which is run out of the center for American Progress and the intercept. So very clearly conservative news sites were targeted and most alarmingly, they were targeted to be blacklisted by advertisers. So what this Journalism Institute is really supporting here is choking out conservative news sites from the public through boycotts and bans via advertisers. That is not something anyone who supports journalism should ever be behind. Jedediah my question upon looking at this who defines what is unreliable . It turns out that they made this index by combining five lists. When you look into it, it says that quote it was curated by established journalists or academics, most journalists are liberals. Most academics are liberal. Is that part of the problem with where this bias came from . Its absolutely part of the problem. Sadly, what happened here is very reflective of the state of the Mainstream Media right now. We had come to learn that the person responsible for making this list previously was associated with the splc which has a history of targeting conservative news sites and making this list. They also didnt even reach out to any of the news organizations that they targeted, including the daily signal, which is really a violation of journal 101. You reach out to the subject how are reporting on. Jedediah kelsey we have an excerpt from the original pointer index called for the black thrissing. Advertisers dont want to support publishers that might tar their brand with hate speech, falsehoods or some kind of political messaging but too often they have little choice in the matter. We help the unnews index will be useful for advertisers that want to stop funding misinformation. Your response to that . Again, it is very dangerous for a nonprofit supposedly unbiased Journalism Institution to be calling for advertisers to boycott conservative news sites. And this is very symbolic of whats happening on the left on College Campuses, all over where instead of winning the battle with conservatives via ideas and debates, they just want to ban us from ban our ideas from even being heard. Shout us down. This is another example of it. I think its very unfortunate. We appreciate them pulling down that list. But its possible that they come up with another and continue targeting conservative news sites. Jedediah we did reach out to pointer and they did respond to fox friends. They said the Pointer Institute believes in a free and responsible press and we hold ourselves to high standards. We messed up and we are owning it and we are taking steps to make sure something doesnt like this like this doesnt happen again. So i think that is an important step that at least theyre willing to acknowledge it to me, this is unfortunately a reflection that there is a home general nate of thought in academic and journalism oftentimes. What has been flagside what is dissent . What is offering a different perception of telling that news . Kelsey, i really appreciate you being here. Thank you for your input and glad to see their apology, at least it is one small step in the right direction. Thank you. Jedediah thanks so much. Mothers day is just around the corner. Kurt the cyberguy is here with big tech for moms big day including a new way to video chat. Im so excited. I bet thats ed . Hey, ed, how are you doing . [ paper rustling ] exactly, nothing.

Pete scary and dan bongino is off camera laughing at us. Ed hes not going to try that by the way ive got this is the shape of the state of kentucky. So im wearing it well be talking about the derby. Weve got our own little race out there. Pete we have our own race. Dan bongino not allowed to be involved. Jedediah [laughter] ed its your here of redemption i heard. Pete but it doesnt count with him. Ed a lot of news breaking overnight. Jedediah we start with a fox news alert, investigators are expected in more more at noon after a boeing 737 slides off a runway, and into a river in jacksonville. The charter flight carrying 143 people out of Guantanamo Bay. Officials amazed there are only minor injuries. It is a miracle. We could be talking about a different story this evening is i think theres a lot to say about the professionalism of the folks that helped the passengers off the airplane. They very well could be worse. Jedediah officials will be looking into the pilots the aircraft and environmental factors well have a live report later this hour. Also breaking overnight, at least one person is dead following a fiery crash in san francisco. Two vehicles and a tour bus are involved in the fatal highway wreck according to local media reports. Officials shut down the roadway as crews work to put out the fire. Police are investigating what caused the crash. And the trump adminitration is slapping new restrictions on iran pocks nuclear activities. The u. S. Choosing not to renew two key sanction waivers allowing russia and the european nations to do business. The administration did renew other waivers, but some republicans including senator ted cruz, are now pushing the administration to cancel all waivers. Pete i dont know why were giving them any waivers. Jedediah thats true thats your headlines. Pete we dont give this guy any waivers hes here dan bongino, live in the flesh. I know were a family event so i figured id pop in and say hello. Love you guys. Pete so ive talked about how this is my year of vindication against ed henry in competition, in a much bigger sense i feel like this moment is big vindication for guys like you, who have been ahead of the curve , on what actually was done to the Trump Campaign. Yeah, me, kim strassel, chuck ross, this spying story, remember die hard . Welcome to the party pal, like welcome to the party. This idea that the trump adminitration was spied on was obvious to any entrepreneurial journalist who just did open source internet hunting. I mean, its a great time to have a book called spygate, that i wrote a year and a half ago by the way. The story that broke the New York Times covered was a story who met at a meeting with George Papadopoulos and the Trump Campaign official and was brought there by stefan halper, a known u. S. Inc. Asset and that story i interviewed George Papadopoulos eight months ago. Literally none of this is new but the real story here is twofold. The story here is the news is the news. The fact that the New York Times finally had to come around now and avoided the story for a year and a half should tell you something and that leads to headline number two. Notice how they frame it getting out ahead of bill barr and hes come walking into tombstone. They try to frame the narrative in advance and its going to be this. Mark my word. It was a frantic time in the fbi. It was confusing. That is not an excuse. The constitution matters precisely when its frantic. Freedom of speech matters, pete, when you defended your military service when it matters not when everything is great. The freedom to petition your government and assemble matters when its frantic that is not an excuse thoughts frantic in the fbi to spy. Pete it was frantic and their other defense appears to be well we really thought you may have been a rug agent so were just patriots in pursuit of the truth thats a valid retort, that i know youll hear from the left and ive seen it with the talk ing heads on this network and others. Again, what was the evidence. You cant just say that. I cant say hey, i think pete hegseth was a russian agent. What is your proof and their only evidence ever of any collusiontype conspiracy with the russians was where . The dossier, which was a political document. It is nowhere else. Ed and was used to go to the fisa court to lead to surveillance of carter page and well see whether others were surveilled and that means james comey beings Andrew Mccabe and others will be on the line with that bill barr investigation. A moment ago the president tweet ed out when will the radical left wing media apologize to me, forgetting the russian collusion story so long. The real story is about to happen, seems to be teaming up with what Dan Stepenosky talking about but interesting, reporters were still pressing his phone call because it was a whole series on International Issues still pressing him on collusion, watch. Did you address the issues that came up in the Mueller Report . President trump we knew there was no collusion whatsoever so pretty much thats what it was did you tell them not to meddle in the next election . President trump excuse me im talking im answering this question. We had a good conversation about many different things. We didnt discuss nod not meddl ing in the next election. We discussed five or six things, getting along with russia and china, getting along with all of them is a very good thing. Not a bad thing its a good thing. Its a positive thing. Ed it seems like the point no matter which world leader hes sitting with it comes back to russia, russia, russia. Its fascinating the question did you address collusion. What it didnt happen . You want him to call putin about a scandal thats been debunk. Lets talk about a scandal that didnt humiliate our Intelligence Services that fell for this scam, but he did bring up an important point in that tweet. Do not forget. I think the asra turck story intelligence asset to spy on the trump team, thats not the real story guys. The real story is who in the heck was joseph misud, who starts this whole thing by telling George Papadopoulos about emails and russian information that may have had on the dnc. The democrat liberal media narrative is that that was a russian asset. Thats not the real story. Ed he was working with the italians . Hes connected to western intelligence, any media type can go to google and look whose hes in photos with. Uk intelligence officials so either we have a russian asset whose infiltrated the highest friendly Intelligence Services, or we have a friendly who was setting up George Papadopoulos. Thats the real scandal. This was not spying this was entrapment. Jedediah dan ive got to ask you 2020 these democrats Bernie Sanders has dropped in the polls a bit because hes out there talking about how terrorists should have Voting Rights and all his extreme rhetoric is coming forward. What do you think of these new details about his soviet 1980s honeymoon . This is reminding me of the reagan 84 election where they thought they had to go back and nominate a guy who was so radically far left because it was his antireagan like the tds of the time. So they figured lets get the most antireagan guy, mondale ran on well raise your taxes. And he was annihilated and the only state he won was minnesota which was by 3,000 votes. Pete thanks, dan. But this has reminded me think theophano run the most far left Bernie Sanders candidates. Pete details have come out about this trip. We knew he honeymooned in the soviet unions, but i quote them trip coordinator david kelly said i got really upset and walked out when you were a critic of your country and can say anything you want on home soil, at that point, the cold war wasnt even over. The arms race wasnt over and i wasnt comfortable with it hes referring to what Bernie Sanders had to say. The fact were willing to be critical of the United States i think that made them more appreciative of our criticisms we made of our own society so hes saying Bernie Sanders went to the soviet union and trashed the United States. Im wondering how socialists like Bernie Sanders get a pass on a very serious note i know i could be sarcastic about him some types. He is a fraud and hes a millionaire. Thats the essence of being a fraud. Its natural. The problem with bernie is why do fascists get no pass, ever, because theyre killers and homicide all maniacs, but socialism throughout history killed hundreds of millions of people and ive always wondered why do people who adhere to socialism promote the deadly ideology seem to get a pass in the media . Theres no qualitative difference between the two. They are hallmarks of each. Why isnt Bernie Sanders being called out . Look at whats happening in venezuela . These are human beings guys, these are children of god. If youre a christian like i am everybody has touched on the hand of god. You have people in venezuela eating out of dumpsters. Why isnt Bernie Sanders being asked to account for that . They supported this. People like alexandria ocasiocortez these are important people, they have followings listen to them. How are you not asking questions about human lives eating out of dumpsters children dying due to preventable diseases unreal. Jedediah the question is who is that democratic voting base what do they care about . Does it bother them its an honest question does it bother them he went over at the time of the soviet union and may have trashed the United States is that something that gets under their skin or not. Im not sure that we have our finger on the pulse of what the majority of that base really feels, believes and wants right now. Jed, i think its a lot of people who are confused they really believe the socialism Bernie Sanders is advocating is sweden. It is not. Sweden is a market economy with granted a heavy tax structure and a big government. It is not socialistic in any way , shape or form. What Bernie Sanders is advocat ing for is socialism the government control of the major production which is a deadly economic system. Ed dan ive got great news for your podcast. Bill deblasio might be getting in this race. Oh ed i covered that myself. Weeks of it. Jedediah thanks dan for coming good to see you. A prolife rally set to debut in the center of new york city today. Pete its already facing backlash. Two of the movements leaders respond, coming up next. Here i go again on my own goin down the only road ive ever known like a drifter i was born to walk alone keep goin man you got it if you ride, you get it. Here i go again geico motorcycle. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more. Jedediah a prolife celebration set to debut in new york citys times square today. Pete over 10,000 people are expected to attend the first ever alive from new york. The event that will be broadcasting live ultrasound on billboards, but it hasnt gone without controversy. Jedediah two of the leaders behind the event march for life president Jeanie Mancini and focus on the family president jim daily are now here with us for more information. So what has been the controversy about this that emerged . Well it started with focus on the family, we noticed what Governor Cuomo did here and the governor of virginia and we thought this is an overreach when were high fiving in our state houses and the u. S. Senate about taking the life of a child especially in that third trimester so we thought why dont we just go to new york, go to times square, put it on the jumbotron and lets see a baby in the third trimester and show the world what a baby looks like. Pete and you guys tried to approach a number of companies that owned billboards to purchase time which people do. What do they say . And focus on the family does that specifically so jim what did they say . They were just negative basically. They said theres plenty of inventory well book you when they found out what the event was about they said we no longer have inventory available for you one company said well give you a static shot and we said great well put a picture of a baby up and they said no, no, only your logo, so silencing our ability to express our speech and we want to let the world see what a third trimester baby looks like. Jedediah im wondering why everyone is so afraid of having that out there. I mean, you can disagree and have a different opinion when it comes to abortion but more information is good. Exactly. Right so science and technology are very much on the side of life, and with this topic, which can sometimes seem to controversial to some people really what were talking about here is just showing life as it is, in the womb, whats so controversial about that . Pete what theyre challenged by is the fact that this technology has greatly advanced the life movement, and once people were able to see what a baby looks like, yet even such Early Development stages it changed the view about is that just a clump of cells or a baby . Thats absolutely right so years ago we used to hear that a developing baby is just a lump of cells as youre saying but the other side wont admit to that any more. They now will say that basically ultra sonography is something thats scary. Today somebody called it creepy that we were doing ultrasound. But its just truth. Arent we for informed consent and more information for most medical procedures . Doesnt make sense we wouldnt use this. Jedediah we have a statement from abc regarding the advertising issue and they said it is our policy we do not accept live advertising on our tames square video screen, and we also have a statement from Clear Channel our billboards require a creative approval they never presented any art work and instead galvanize their loyal supporters with misinformation to generate earned media attention, was that the issue that you didnt present Creative Content ahead of time for approval . Assuming theyve never seen an ultrasound so if thats the case i invite them down to times square today. We brought our own jumbotron so they can see it on our own screen. Jedediah you guys have amazing speakers going on tell us about the event. Sure well the idea is to celebrate life. Its not to wag a finger and we want to show people whats happening in the womb. We have benjamin watson, former nfl player 15 years in the league celebrating the birth of his twins and very prolife voice for us and also alvida king, your good friend. The niece of dr. Martin luther king and a great prolife advocate. And then the keynote speech is drum roll, 4 d live, third trimester option, our ultrasound pete what time is the event today . 3 00. Jedediah thank you guys for being here. Appreciate it. Pete well democrats giving bill barr an ultimatum. Hand over the completely un redacted Mueller Report or be held in contempt of congress. Are they overplaying their hand just a bit . Jedediah congressman dan crenshaw is here to sound off next. Pete here lets be honest. Safe drivers shouldnt have to pay as much for insurance. As not safe drivers thats why esurance has drivesense. ® the safer you drive, the more you save. Although im not really driving right now that would be unsafe.

A worker with the virus served food at the prom venue for two different schools. Health officials now offering free vaccinations this week. And check your freezers. Tyson foods is recalling nearly 12 Million Pounds of its frozen chicken strips, and pete is worried. There is concerns of pieces of metal inside, impacted products have use by dates of october 21, 2019, to march 7, 2020. Jedediah nothing your digestive system can handle. Pete i probably have metal already inside. Check that out. Well, house judiciary chairman jerry nadler threatening to hold attorney general bill barr in context if he doesnt release the unredacted Mueller Report. Jedediah here to react is republican dan crenshaw of texas good morning, glad to have you here so are they overplaying the hand the democrats . Well its an interesting accusation to begin with because theyve been offered the un redacted version and nadler is one of those people who has been offered it and now they dont want to see it they want the public to see it which is kind of a strange stance to take and i wonder if its because they want to continue on with their fantasy narrative while un encumbered with the actual knowledge they saw the whole thing the entire time so this is a disingenuinous attack it always has been. Pete to make bill barr the focus why have they chosen to train their fire there. Do they think they can make the issue about him . Hes been in washington, but hes willing to punch back they dont like that much. Hes just doing his job, the only adult in the room saying listen this is a criminal justice process. My job was to ascertain whether there was a crime committed. You guys are asking me to talk about wrongdoing and character flaws. Thats not his job, and hes making that very clear. And what he also made clear was do not let the criminal justice process be used in your political process. He says thats your job im doing my job. Lets keep those two separate because our institutions are important. Ed where does it go from here because in his testimony this week he also talked about maybe going after james comey and Andrew Mccabe. He didnt name them but talked about the official officials and justice at the fbi who may have lied to the fisa court. Why would you want to undermine barrs credibility because he made it clear hes looking into these things and wants to know how this investigation got started to see if the Counter Intelligence specs of these were predicated on real facts and maybe they were, maybe they werent, the democrats are trying to undermine his credibility before that happened jedediah the thing is the public is exhausted from this. Originally this started out as a hunt for collusion and then turned into a conversation about conspire as that was not found, at some point the public was just going to tune this out and move on to the issues are democrats ever going to get there too . I dont know if the democrat s will, but democrat voters, i think, already have. On the campaign trail, running for congress this last year, and while in congress, voters are much more concerned about infrastructure bills, healthcare , the environment, theyre concerned about a lot of things, and this isnt one of them. Its pretty obvious that the president s campaign and the president himself did not collude or coordinate. That was and coordinate is a very important word too because it has a broader definition, so they didnt do that. He was found innocent of this. Thats what people are remembering this obstruction charge is really based on obstructing a crime that did not happen and it also tends to amount to a thought crime because okay he tried to. He pulled people he wanted to, but wanted to fire people, but lets keep in mind he always had the power, he knew that these people werent fired the next day okay . And does it speak to character flaws . Sure. You can make that argument that thats a political argument its not a legal argument. Pete another big story were following developments on the Korean Peninsula, you follow National Security very closely one of the things this administration is touted is there hasnt been a mission el test, maybe you know what that differentiation is in this particular circumstance, but what do you make of the possibility for developments there . Well North Koreans are always going to try and test us. This is what they do and they have been doing for decades. This is always going to be a situation where you cant fully trust what theyre saying. That doesnt mean we dont try. That doesnt mean we dont keep on the current path and i think what the president has been doing with negotiations with north korea, opening up their hands and then its still the right path, but theyre going in the wrong direction here so we need to be looking at what we can do in response. Pete which could be . Which could be maybe we continue on our military exercises with the south koreans maybe we look at additional sanctions, maybe we should have the conversations with the chinese about how to thwart some of these things. Ed north korean economy in desperate shape already from previous sanctions more sanctions could be devastating congressman appreciate you coming in. Meanwhile its race day at the Kentucky Derby where our very own janice dean is getting a jump on the celebrations with the infamous 1,000 mint julep. How is it tasting .

Ed were back with this fox news alert, venezuela may be on the brink of outing disputed president Nicholas Maduro following a week of protest. Jedediah ellison barber is live with the growing crisis. Ellison . Reporter good morning, to all of you. This is one of the main bridges where migrants or people are able to cross from venezuela into colombia. Technically closed but colombian officials have allowed some to cross into the country, temporarily to get food, medicining sin things that they do not have back in venezuela. More migrants from venezuela who want to come into colombia but dont have the appropriate forms to do it. This way, they cross over here, in an area thats known as the trenches in english. They come through this area. They have to pay a group of madu rosupporting malitia, a gangtype that controls the trenches on the venezuelan side and then what you see many doing right now over to colombia and then they try and stay here. Yesterday afternoon that malitia group, they started shooting right up on to this bridge where were standing. [gun shots fired] reporter people were screaming, trying to run for cover. Some people had to just lay down on this bridge and cover their heads, because the gunfire was there. There wasnt a break for the first 15 minutes and they were not able to move to safety. The shooting went on for at least half an hour. Hundreds of rounds were fired shooting up towards this bridge and the colombian forces then firing back. Police shut down the entire bridge they sent in more police, swat teams, the army on the colombian side Officials Say at least one innocent woman was injured in the gunfire and taken to a hospital nearby. Were hearing that some u. S. Humanitarian help could actually be on the way in the coming days and a spokesperson for the u. S. Southern command is telling fox news that the military is considering sending a hospital navy ship called the comfort to south america to aid venezuelan refugees and they did that last year but fox news told us so far no final decision has been made. As for what is happening over in venezuela, the Opposition Leader and the u. S. Recognized president juan gueido has urged venezuelan soldiers to go outside military bases all across the country and protest thats supposed to start at 10 a. M. Local time. Ed ellison where you are on the colombian side of the bridge weve heard these reports about venezuelan women in particular being so desperate for food, for money for their families coming over prostituting themselves also just cutting off their hair , selling their hair to colombians. What have you seen . I realize its a difficult situation youre trying to stay safe and gather material but what are you seeing from average venezuelans who cross over . Reporter that was one of the first things we heard about was the women that not only some have pro prostitute themselves but then also selling their hair weve been at this bridge as well as another o little further away. We have spoken to a number of venezuelan refugees and i met one woman who crosses over every day because she wants her children her child to go to school here. The colombians let children come here to take classes because they know they dont have an education back in venezuela. I met one man who was an engineer by trade and he told me he had lost his job a few years ago because he did not support the maduro regime so he had been kicked out of his job and had been a successful engineer and he had to walk acrosstheboard er, every single day to try and get food to go back to venezuela and sell sandwiches, pieces of cake. He said he tried to tutor people with math and geometry in colombia but made almost no money. He said the money he made, it was in venezuela and an entire month of his wages of working would only buy him one kilo of cheese which is 2. 2 pounds. I met one woman who comes here every month an hour and a half each way to buy insulin in colombia for her mother whose diabetic and they say they have no opportunity no way to buy or get any of that in venezuela. They also say the Venezuelan National guard whose just back there past the yellow barricade they wont talk to you, they say when they try to cross here they make it difficult for them to get acrosstheboarder into colombia. Ed ellison doing outstanding reporting for us too appreciate that. And just a desperate situation. Jedediah thank you ellison. Pete going to be very interesting took a big gamble this week. Jedediah well turn to some headlines for you in this 9 00 a. M. Hour. Tensions along the gaza strip overnight. Milli tans firing 90 rockets at israel most intersected by the countrys defense system, no deaths have been reported but at least one rocket did destroy a home south of tel aviv.

Ed weve got to get away from that topic were counting down the fastest two minutes in sports and our own janice dean has already started celebrateing and she joins us from Churchill Downs with the infamous 1,000 mint julep.

I have something that will pair nicely with that 1,000 mint julep thats about a 6 Bread Pudding but ill tell you what here is the secret to this Bread Pudding that i absolutely love. It starts out with dried race in raisins, but i soak them in Woodford Reserve so that gets all nice and delicious and then i top it with this beautiful bourbon glaze if you want to give it a sample it is really delicious see what you think. I taste butter and bourbon and sugar. They all go together nicely. Talk about a triple crown. [laughter] butter, sugar and bourbon. Its like a shot glass. And the secret is the woodford in that sauce so its a wonderful thing and what i do is they come out in a square but i stamp them up into little rounds and by the way i want to tell you know matter what the weather is outside a sip a little bourbon guess what . It makes me mostly sunny. I thought i loved you before i love you even more after. Thank you so much for coming. Is it going to be a great derby day .

Ed i dont know if you noticed if you were watching another channel last night like the evening news you didnt know the economy is doing really well. Pete well if you blinked you didnt see it. A couple networks covered it. Ed for like 11 seconds, 7 seconds even though we have a booming economy and record jobs numbers here is what came out yesterday about april. If you didnt see it. 263,000 jobs added in america the Unemployment Rate drops to a record low of 3. 6 . Ed lowest since 1969. Pete thats the last time the jets won the super bowl. The only time. Thats a long, long time ago and the president taking a lot of credit for it as he should. Jedediah one of the big feature s the wage growth. Average Hourly Earnings up 3. 2 , average hourly wages hit 27. 77. This should be the lead story on every single network. Jobs, how much money people have in their pockets, how many opportunities theyre having this truly was the basis of why this president won the election because people thought he was a businessman and he was going to boost the economy. That was been truman for many. Ed and we should go back to evening news broadcasts in like 20152016 where they boom in with the numbers looking at wall street. You know, because there was some months where there was modest growth under obama and they covered it heavily because its what they wanted here. Ed its interesting because even cnn had a poll over the last couple of days saying that approval on the economy for the president is at 56 . Thats fascinating even they are admitting this is a pretty good deal for the president approved 56 , 41 disapprove. No opinion 3 . I wonder if that no opinion is former president barack obama because his opinion would be a little odd if you looked back at what he was saying about candidate donald trump and how theres no way he can bring the jobs back. Watch. Hes going to bring all these jobs back. Well how exactly are you going to do that . What are you going to do . He just says well im going to negotiate a better deal. Well how exactly are you going to negotiate that somewhat magic wand do you have and usually, the answer is you dont have an answer. Pete here it is jedediah that is an important point though because oftentimes left wing academics have that oh , well what are you going to do they dont understand the policy implications of lowering taxes and deregulation so its the difference between a businessman and a politician oftentimes. Pete you just jumped inside my brain. Jedediah i did. Ed get out get out. Pete get out fast. But thats a government guy. Obama is a government guy. Hes like what can i do with government to revive this economy. And quantitative easing or the big what do they do . Ed stimulus. Pete stimulus plan its got to be the government. A business guy comes in and says we create more businesses more entrepreneurs, free up the money and give it to people. Jedediah take the government out of the way. Pete yes. Ed to their credit the New York Times has a whole analysis piece by neil irin with, who covers the economy closely and says maybe people on the left were wrong because these economists what you were saying is these sort of status quo standard responses, well with this kind of job growth youll have really high inflation so it doesnt work long term and neil irwin is admitting inflation is staying relatively low, job Growth Continues to boom and the wage growth which all the 2020 democrats say yeah the jobs are good. Pete wage growth in the bottom third of the economy, so the boats are rising and thats part of what we talked about earlier on the network on special report he talked about this as bad news for democrats, trying to run against this economy. Listen. Well this is great news for america and very bad news for joe biden and look the biggest economic problem we have in america right now is there are more job openings today than there are Unemployed People to fill them so when joe biden says are you feeling it . Yes, people are feeling it and the people who are feeling it most are the forgotten americans , because manufacturing jobs, half a Million Manufacturing jobs created in the last year and wages for those people in the wall street journal raised wages for those at the bottom without a High School Education rose 6 out pacing everybody else. Joe bidens rationale for his campaign is im winning back the forgotten voters in like ohio, michigan and wisconsin. Ed those forgotten americans actually have wage growth and new jobs its obviously good for him if theres trouble for them, then thats something biden could exploit right . Pete right. Jedediah we shall see. Pete on another story a boeing 737 carrying 134 people out of Guantanamo Bay slides off a runway into a river in jacksonville, florida. Ed Russel Colburn from our fox station in jacksonville is live with the latest. Good morning, russel. Reporter yeah, we have new information for you from the ntsb. They will be investigating this and they say their go team will be here about noon and they will be investigating here on the base, looking beyond this fence and beyond the planes to the plane which is still in the water right now, and they will be looking into three broad areas the human element, so thats the pilot, his experience , the machine itself, so the plane, systems and maintenance and environmental factors so the weather which was nasty last night, the goring, and air traffic control. But lets recap for you now we know the miami air civilian contract plane had 136 passengers and seven crew on board, a mix of civilian and military personnel. Its not known how far it traveled on the runway before it got in the river. Thankfully we only had minor injuries nothing too serious, were told. Our sources believe the plane had a hydraulic or a brake issue that has not been confirmed but well be asking the ntsb. Earlier this morning i spoke with the bases Commanding Officer who stressed what a miracle this was. It is a miracle. We could be talking about a different story this evening so i think theres a lot to say about the professionalism of the folks that helped the passengers off the airplane. It very well could be worse. Reporter the ntsb will have a News Conference around 2 00. Well keep you updated. Back to you. Ed thanks.
