Our moms calling, some showing up. You might hear some fun facts about us. Does it come as a gift to have your mom on the show . Can that be your gift to her . No. In your case you really need to go listen, both of our moms deserve the president ial medal of freedom to put up with us. That had to be a fulltime job there. We want you to send your photos to us of our mother, why do you love her, how much do you love her. If theres a fox friends tie in, maybe a better chance of getting on the air. Or a pet. You know how i deal. Or a surf board. Thats really got a shot. Happy mothers day. A fun show all morning long. As we always do, we get into politics as well. How Many Democrats in the field right now . I think there are 22 . I was going to say about 104. But guess what, theres another one coming possibly and that is the governor of montana, Steve Bullock. Youre thinking who is that. I cover politics every day for this show and i didnt know who Steve Bullock was, a montana governor. Former attorney general out there. He is potentially going to get in. Has not yet decided to do so. Hes saying because shes a governor who has won in a red state a couple of times. Why not me at this point. And interestingly enough one of the reasonin reasons so many pee jumping in is because the front runner joe biden is having some trouble. Theyre not saying we backed obama, lets jump in and support biden. In fact theres a head line from the Washington Post that reads, they worked for obama, theyre not supporting biden yet. As they scan the field for a possible transformation and worry about a repeat of the 2016 election, many others speak of their continued hunger for a new generation of leadership and a free face cho can transcend. They are eager for someone like obama who can bring new voter to the poll. Theyre basis clay sayin base bg that that the magic that obama i remember i was teaching when he ran. Young people were so excited about him. Theyre not sure that biden has the same appeal. Theyllliketheyre like lets sd see. Older folks vote. The appeal of biden is does he cross over in the work belt states with others who vote a lot. Thats the disconnect right now between the enthusiasm they want to see. If youre the former Vice President of obama, loyal for eight years and you cant brynn ibringin the support of the peoo supported him, it shows you how tenuous his candidacy is. Its so early. People are voting on name i. D. And legacy and theres still a lane for someone to surge ahead. Biden will run on his years with obama. But Corey Lewandowski cousin pointing out the difference between the trump legacy and the obama legacy. I think people forget the eight years with obama and the failures that biden was tied to. If joe biden want to reiterate the 1 and 2 new normal, thats the contrast of where the american peoplhe hastaken the a. So this president has lined up a clear difference between what barack obama failed to do and what hes been able to do and hes going to remind the American People that joe biden was the man driving the agenda on the Obama Administration. Bidens problem now, as you pointed out, the excitement was about hope and change. Now biden is running on, lets get back to what it was before trump. Changing again. People like something new and different. And the challenge for biden is going to be that he is going to have to exprain all of those things that went wrong during the obama years that drove voters to to vote for President Trump. Mr. Trump is going to say you elected me to change a lot of what biden was a part. Thats his line. And theyre going to have to adjust old thinking. The thing he said about china, theyre a rival, not connected at all to the reality that people feel. This administration has a tough stance. I dont know where he finds his footing. Well find out where any of the democrats, including biden, stand on immigration. We have breaking news that we can give you, and that is the border officials telling me yesterday theyve now crossed more than half a million apprehensions. These are new numbers. Brandnew numbers. The number of people apprehended on the southwest border with excoto date in the last seven months. So put that in perspective because thats just a number to me. What does that mean . If you look back at 2018 the entire year they had 306,000 and now were looking at an unprecedented number of people coming in the failing units not only from Central America, that is why we have no place to put them, we cannot stop it. The Border Patrol agents are yoofeoverwhelmed. We had brian kill immediate down therkilmeade seeing itfirst han. Here is a sound bite with Brian Kilmeade talking with them. Listen. Got to have help from dod to increase our total capacity so we can do both missions effectivity. What is the pentagon committed to . Were going to be here until the borders are secure. Weve got to have the backs of the men and women down here being overrun. So all of that interview will be airing on this show tomorrow morning exclusive interview with the new acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan. Hes already addressing whats happening on the southern border. Those numbers, once you explain them, do hit home. I dont know if you have them. We can put them back up on the screen. That number is only seven months. Thats astounding. Not the whole year. Its already up by 100,000. Thats not to mention the folks who are not apprehended. This is just the apprehensions. And remember, we now have more people in custody were my mie grapth in custody than the Border Patrol has agents on the entire force. That was tweeted by the Border Control chief. And if you factor in you can only put so many people in so many places. And as the president calls for a wall for structure, the Border Patrol needs three things, structure, a wall, more manpower and they need congress to change the laws. And youve talked many times about family units coming over and thats an interesting distinction to make about the types of individuals that have come over, what has incentivized them, who constitutes asylum, who doesnt and managing that at ththe board ep border when you l children. Weve got great information about that coming up. Secretary of state mike pompeo heads to russia today to meet with vladimir putin. President trump has expressed optimism about forming good relations with russia after a productive phone call with putin earlier this month. An American Airlines pie loot is arrested at a kentucky airport and charged in a triple murder. Christian martin is accused of killing a kipple and their neighborhood in 2015. One of the victims was found shot to death, the others in a burnt out car. American airlines has suspended him. President trump warning china about waiting for a new trade deal until after the 2020 election. Tweeting the deal will be far worse for them if it has to be negotiated in my second time. Will be wise for them to negotiation now but love collecting the di big tariffs. It was a special graduation weekend at Kent State University with a super bowl mvp among the graduates. Thats awesome. Patriots wide receiver juliand l man running as highfiving his fellow graduates as they got the degree, writing, we did senior. He did it to exeep a promis keeo his daughter. Congratulations. You know i was going to mess up. When it comes to sports im going to do that a lot. Ill correct you when it comes to kale juice and come beu what. Its time for commencements and graduations. So Liberty University, a Christian University brought in the Vice President of the United States to give the commencement there yesterday and he had a very stark message for graduates there. Heres a part of what the Vice President had to say. Throughout most of American History its been pretty easy to call yourself christian. Didnt occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the bible. But things are different now. Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional christian beliefs. Need to show that we can love god and love our neighbor at the same time through words and deeds. As you strengthen your foundation of faith and the foundation of faith among the American People, you can will be strengthening the foundation of america itself. He said the loudest voices of tolerance today have little tolerance for kr traditional beliefs. Christians are under attack, whether its metaphorically or lit calorie physically in some portions of the world and waking up to that reality is an important thing. Important for him to send that something out there, being unapologetic about your faith. You have to battle against it. People shouldnt be afraid to speak their minds when it comes to their faith, be passion anytime and speak out. Hes a great example of that. The thing about mike pence that i love, he lives the christianity in ni his life. It will be interesting to see what other Networks Carry clips from that speech. Because if youre a hollywood actor and you Say Something provocative or attack the president , it makes a lot of head lines. Or it aint going to be interesting because it foo itst going to happen. Or remember the dinner that he was supposed to go to dinner with another woman and he said he didnt want to go to dinner with swur someone that wasnt hs wife. China is major threat to our nation but not if you ask joe biden. China is going to eat our lunch. Come on, man. Theyre not bad folks, folks. But guess what, theyre competition for us. Underestimating china is a big mistake. He joins us live. Thats coming up. China is going to eat our lunch . Come on, man. Theyre not bad folks, folks. But guess what, theyre competition for us. Theyre not competition for us. Despite chinas efforts to cheat on trade and build artificial islands, 2020 democrat front runner joe biden and his view to china appear to be stuck in the 1990s. Here to weigh in is daniel hoffman. So President Trump has made taking on china, especially on trade, a center piece and shichting oushifting our foreigy toward the larger threat. Why is joe biden being dismissive . Thats a great question to ask. You know, there was a time maybe a decade or so when we talked of china being a responsible stake hold ner the world community. But president xi has unsheathed chinas military and espionage spy services, not to mention their aggressive economic policies. Theyve become threats to the United States and our allies. If you listen to whats being written inside the leadership of china, they have a chinese dream that wants to export power and expand. They felt like they were left behind pi the postworld war ii power structures. What are we ignoring . This administration certainly isnt ignoring the threats. And theres no question that china, i mean they practice censorship and propaganda at home. Couldnt be more at ideological odds with our central core of liberty and democracy. And theyre seeking to expert the views overseas. And the latest one belt one Road Initiative which is death trap diplomacy designed to expand chinas influence, they forced slang ksri lanka to give up a pt because they were so in doubt. If we open up china economically, then over time they will become more small, more free. Weve seen the exact opposite theyre commanding power, expanding military influence and we see the trade showdown right now. What would happen to the confrontation if joe biden was elected. Thats good to speculate on. I think we need to hear some details from Vice President biden on how he would plan to defend and counter and deter chinese aggression, which is a major threat to us. But look, this administration has been forceful dealing with the trade war with china that really is chinas fault. You mention it the chinese counter fecounterfeit of our prt us billions of dollars. And we need to be honest with our own citizens about the threats that we face and delineate the red lines so china knows if they cross them theyll do sot air their own peril. Is china the big biggest tht that we face today . The biggest longterm threat that we face, yes. Thank you. Appreciate it. Staggering new numbers just down about apprehensions at the border and the crisis is so bad that migrants are being relocated using airplanes, an unprecedented move for the Border Patrol. Tom homan says well lose the border if we dont act now. He joins us next. Of your fligh, so you can be confident youre getting the right flight at the best price. Kayak. Search one and done. A couple quick head lines for you. A harvard professor representing hair i have weinstein is out. Students complain about how sullivan ran the building where he worked and live. Sullivan came under fire when he joined win weinsteins legal te. Felicity huffman is expected to plead guilty in the College Admission schedule tomorrow. The desperate housewives star is accused of paying 15 grand to fix her daughters score. Huffman is looking at four to ten months in prison followed by a year of probation. Border Detention Centers in texas are so overvowedded the Border Patrol is now turning to airplanes to move migrants to and from Detention Centers, costing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per flight. This as the number of people in custody continues the climb. We are bring in retired i. C. E. Director and Fox News Contributor to tom homan. Good morning to you. These numbers are startling but so too is the impressive move of putting the migrants on flights. It is unprecedented. Weve mofdz migrants from one facile fi to another facility. But to move them because the Border Patrol stations are so overcrowded that that cant be taken care of, this is the first time ive seen this in three decades. You said it, griff. This is unprecedented. Ive seen these types of numbers a couple f decades ago but 90 were mexican nationals removed within the hour. This population isnt going home and that is the driver behind the whole thing. Theyre not going home. Which brings up what ive been saying for many months. I. C. E. Needs to do a national operation. Go find the family members who have had their day in court, theyve been ordered removed by a federal judge. Unless we do this that numbers are going to continue to climb. Do you think people are becoming more aware of how astounding the numbers are. And taxpayers seeing that each flight is going to cost 16,000 dollars for 135 adults at a time. When people become more aware of what the numbers look like and whats happening, do you think theyll start to become more supportive of why the president has been so proactive on this issue in terms of needing to do something asap . Absolutely. I think the president from day one says look, weve got a crisis. The border is out of control. I need to secure this border. And of course you have democratic leadership saying what caravans, remember that when they said what ca caravans . Nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer says that three times. I think the president has done well educating the American People. Now they have to look at the numbers with, look at the money being spent, look at the videos especially at this network. You dont see a lot of videos on the the other networks. Fox news itself is educating america. Many of the people being moved by plane are going to be ultimately released as well. Theyve heard they were mostly family units. But are we at the point now where these numbers that we may start releasing males, individual single males from these countries . Look, im glad you asked that question. That is where were at right now. I. C. E. Is in full capacity. They have brought on thousands of beds at a great expense. But youre at the point now where they cant bring in any more beds quickly. So when they get to that point, and theyre going to get to that point, when we start releasing adult single males, thats going to send a surge like youve never seen before and then we lose the border. The world is going to see, you dont need a child anymore. You can come single and youre going to be released. We dont have the facility to detain you. Thats why we need to take action right now. This is the breaking point right now. Keep the border or lose the border. Tom, i appreciate you coming on. Every time you come on the situation has a more dramatic number and a more terrifying possibility ahead. Appreciate it. Hope something gets done today.

How the are the hackers doing it and how do we stop it. Here too break it down, morgan wright. Morgan, what is going on. Look, pete, this is a confluence of events. This is what happened to atlanta. They have all of this money saying were serious about it but they dont patch systems, they dont train their employees. They let cybersecurity, they cant even spell it in most of these places, let it go to the bottom of the list and when Something Like this happens they get religion. We have to do something. The sky is falling. The bill has come due for the neglect of our network infrastructure. Just like roads it has to be rebuilt and maintained. And its not happening. Morgan, its griff ba by the way. Sorry griff. Tell us why were not hearing about this. I tell people about the story and theyre like, i havent heard about that. Its not something that people want to talk about. Its not sexy. This isnt the alfred e. Newman thing. Not the political stuff. It doesnt rise to the level of how it affects the citizen. When it starts afeacting them thats when they worry about it. In baltimore they cant pay their water bills, which is what happened in thrnt. Fortunately the police didnt get impacted this time. But in atlanta they lost over ten years of incar video which is going to affect criminal cases and things like that. Until it hits the citizens and impacts them, it doesnt rise to the level of sexiness that theyre going to be concerned about but its something that the government needs to be concerned about. The people of baltimore are worried about it and the mayor saying hes not going to capitulate once the criminals are caught. It is expected by the end of this year youre going to be 11. 5 billion worth of damages, thats money, that these hackers are demanding.

The targeted attacks are going to go up, get more significant theand theyre going to demand e money. Why do they keep doing this . Because theres a ton of money to be made out of doing this. In there is a mall intiz buss owner or a Government Official possibly dealing with this, what is the first thing they should do . Every time theres a patch out there, patch your systems. Have the latest updates. If youre not in the cloud, you should consider going to the cloud. Even using a system like drop box or box, make sure your critical files are stored somewhere else, have three copies of things. And train your people. Training is like bathing, e neither is permanent. It needs to be done on a regular basis. Thanks, morgan. Thanks, griff. This mothers day marks over three years since navy s. E. A. L.

What do you dwell on this day . To try to do something positive. I have other children and included a new one, my daughter adele is in the book. Mothers who have lost a child, you can relate because its a tough thing and you dont really get over it. But im trying to make a positive impact on children remembering my son. Wonderful. Tell us a little bit about this book. I love the concept of the book because its a coloring book. Your mom illustrated the book. So its very involved with the family and the story is based on charlies life. There are a lot of truths about your sons life that are memorialized. Charlie was a crazy boy as well as an adult. But he was a professional warrior. But i want people to know him not as just a warrior but as an american boy who grew up to be an american hero, of course in my eyes. In our eyes. Its great. Absolutely. There ares so many stories hes had. And my mom was a great illustrator and she had an injury after the book three and had finished all of the drawings for this book and could not color them. So i thought, you know what . Kids can color them for her. We basically did all of the beautiful pictures and made it a coloring book. Dog named turtle, turtle named dog. Story is intriguing. Charlie was the one who found the dog and named it turtle even though adele wanted a turtle. So you know how brothers and sisters are. Well, thats what happened and we ended up getting a turtle at the end which is great. Because in arizona you can adopt a desert tore toys. Tortoise. It was a surprise ending. Remind us about charlies life what you thin think he wans people to glean from his life and this book every day. The love of life, being a child and remembering a sacrifice. I love that these books are in the schools. I have them in the library of congress. I just want his mark to continue to be made to children. You know, more people the better. And if thres in librariries that really want this, email me. If i make a little money, ill send them books for free. The website is bigheartedcharlie. Com. What was the key ingredient you think led that highenergy goodspirited kid to join the navy s. E. A. L. He wanted to do the thing that was the hardest. Broke a fourminute mile. He had no you know, if someone gave him something to do he would not give up. He never gave up and took it always to the end. And those are the qualities you want your kids to have. You dont want them to give up or on the iphone. You want them to sit here and learn something thats not just a regular book or a coloring book. Its a story. So many have been inspired by charlies life. I hope they pick up a copy of the book and share it with their children. Every child loves a coloring book. And a dog and a turtle. Thank you.

You get more points in you take wi it with the show in the background. Be creative. And i if theres a puppy or a kitten, youre my new favorite person. We have mothers day. We also have some news. As you know ive covered the border for the last year for this show and perhaps longer, new numbers today. This is breaking news. The number of apprehensions at our southwest border have crossed the line of more than half a million. 504,300 is the numb number of apprehensions on our southern border to include canada its up to 508,000 actually. And if you compare that, put this giant number in perspective, compare it to last year, fiscal year 2018 for the entire year, it was 396, 579, 504,000, this is only the first seven months. Only seven months. Were on track to double last years number. And as you pointed out, this is just apprehensions. Now a lot of people cross the border, especially family members want to be apprehended because they want to claim slusm whetheasylum whether its legite or not. And you dont know how many are not apprehended. When you see the flood with the cartels and the government there facilitating it, youve got a much bigger number of people sneaking across. And youve talked about the family units and that being an important distinction of what was going on in the mast as crossing and who is emphasized as crossing now. When we had the problem a decade ago it was mostly males from mexico, we would send them back. Now we have people from Central America and you cannot send them back quickly, you have no place to put them. Were overwhelmed so much so that the dod is having to get involved 37 and Brian Kilmeade went down to texas yesterday, ground zero, we spoke with acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan about this crisis. Heres a little bit about of that interview. Listen. Got to have help from dod to increase our total capacity so we can do both effectively. What is the pentagon committed to . What have they been asked to do. In with were going to be here until the border is secured. Weve got to to have the backs of the men and women down here being overrun. That full interview will air tomorrow on fox friends. Dont miss. It. This is a problem compounded by instability as well as our open more or less porous border. Venezuela comes to mind as well. You dont think of this when you think of caravans but 3. 4 million venezuelans have fled the country, some of which may join the migrant caravans. 3. 4 Million People have fled venezuela in the last year. When i was in mentio down therei showed on the raft its open, the officials in mexico, the woman that runs immigration for the shelter where people were breaking out of told me she is worried that in the coming weeks youre going to see part of this venezuela crisis come to their border and she doesnt know what theyre going to do. Theyre already at capacities with the shelters at southern mexico as well as up a to tijuana, juarez. You compound the problem. On a radio show, theyre talking about this. Listen to this. Have claimed throughout the years that migrants, you know, or people from Central America and other places in latin america try to migrate to the United States mainly because of security reasons. The truth is it is very different. Most of the people are trying to reach the United States today because of economic reasons. We have had all of these globalized or globalization projects in the country where theyre trying to pretty much install the will of other countries, pretty much, the u. N. Ways of doing government. Im talking more about judges, magistrates, our judicial system being corrupted in a certain way by leftist tendencies. Wreally fascinated. This is a guy in the middle of it who is acknowledging there are people and the sound bite is longer than that. Talks about an agenda of people with open borders agendas, globalization project with leftist tendencies using economic pressure to encourage large groups of people to come to the United States and then illegally claim asylum based on threat to their life. When economic troubles and seeking a better life is not a legitimate reason to seek asylum. If you want to come to the United States and work, come here legally. This is a. Ic that President Trump has a tt President Trump is taking heat on. Hes cruel, oh, hes not being honest about the situation, hes marginalizing people. When in fact hes saying we have laws set up in this country want you have to follow them. If you qualify for su asylum, o. The fear of venezuela, its over four years, 3. 4 million, a Million People over the last four years have been coming in. When i was down last time on the border a few weeks ago question saw the people from africa, an go la, congo, india, pakistan, a huge po population of cubans in mexico that have fled cue what. When you compound the number of countries coming, its all for the common denominator, to get a better job, make more money and falsely claim asylum. That is a problem that eventually the entire u. S. Congress are going to have to deal with it or theyll face the ballot box problems. Americans are starting to get it. Looks like we have a secretary of defense ready to focus on the defense of our border. Venezuela is in south america. Its a trek to get from venezuela to Central America. But if over time groups of those folks organize, those countries are overwhelmed as well. You can see this problem getting bigger. Thats what im talking about. The guys from the congo came to south america and went straight up through. Youre going to see that in the coming weeks. This issue has been going on for so long but now its come to the forefront and because President Trump made this a key issue of his Campaign Last time and and forced the issue, democrats are having to answer tough questions on this. They dont know what to say. They pretended it was a fake crisis for so long. Theyre grasping at straws cocome up with something when in reality they need to follow the laws. Headlines now. A plane carrying 100 people makes an Emergency Landing overnight using only its back wheels. Smoke filling the cabins. The front landing gear would not deploy. The aircraft landing on its belly in mand mandalay, the nose scraping the run rae. Secretary of state mike pompeo says the u. S. Is willing to work with iran but has military options ready if necessary. Our oi aim is not war. Our aim is a change in the behavior of the iranian leadership. And we want to make sure that we can provide the president with an option set in the event that the iranians make a bad decision. Last week the u. S. Sent an Aircraft Carrier to the middle east in response to iranian threats. And 2020 contender Bernie Sanders is joining congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez at an event owed. This will give sanders a highprofile platform to explain his Climate Change. Will that help or hurt him to be tied to aoc . In general, probably going to hurt you. Primary, maybe not. She is a fan. A lot of fans of j. J. Watt. Hes one of the best Football Players in america, also a huge heart, given a lot of money to causes over the last couple of years. Hes a tough guy and he had a bit of a straightforward message for people saying your life is not going to be easy but you better overcome it. He was Commencement Speaker at the university of wisconsin. We thought it was a great message and wanted to share it with you. Maybe there were some tough times, adversity, obstacles along the way but here you are accomplishing one of your dreams. It will be difficult. It will not look the way you want it to look. But in the end if you stay focused, if you stay true, if you have the passion for your dream, you will get there, no matter how difficult that path may be. Nobody accomplishes their dreams alone. I implore you to find somebody on this planet who has accomplished their dreams without the help of another human being. Nobody does. You need help. Both good and bad. Positive and negative. Well, i tell you, positive, i remember covering Hurricane Harvey in houston, the very first person on scene of stature and nam fame was j. J. Watt. Led the fundraising and has really never stopped helping that community. Theyre still dealing with problems down there. Pretty powerful message he had there. I love his message of just reaching if are th the stars. It can be so intimidating, especially if you want to follow an unconventional career path. I remember some of my friends wanted to be a singer or dancer and the parents were like, you need a backup plan. Dont be afraid to reach and follow your dream. You may be able to achieve it. And its so important as the students enter the crazy world of being a little lost as we all are when we get out of college to have that optimism. But then you have to rip them out of the bubble and say youre going to fail a lot too. You wanted to give a speech. I have wanted to give to fox friends commencement address. What would be the message . There would be a lot of themes, a lot of triggering. A lot of positivity. You can succeed but youre mostly going to fail. Failing is good. America is an amazing place. Socialism is terrible. A combination of those themes. They put me in one box that like i was ready to give it there. I was concerned. Im writing it right now. Next weekend hopefully we can deliver the fox friends commencement. You think theyre nervous . I am. They better be. I am a littl. E ill us at friends at fox news. Com. If you could take to the podium and have a captured audience of graduates, what would you say . And what should pete say. Are you worried about it, breaking a sweat like me. They put me on the spot right there and i wasnt ready. Thank you. Here we go again. Now that im flustered, time to read the tel teleprompter ag. James baker sounding very worried about the upcoming report from the Justice Department Inspector General. So how nervous are you about the ig . Im always nervous about the ig. Jason chaffetz says he should be nervous and explains why when he joins us next. Bleech aww awww its the easiest because its the cheesiest. Kraft for the win win. So how nervous are you about the ig . Im always nervous about the ig, i guess. But no, theyre coming in after the fact that lock at what we did when we were trying to do it in real time. Im sure that they will find thing that i didnt know at the time, maybe that others didnt know at the time. And you know, i just dont know where its going to go. Extop fbi lawyer james baker admitting hes nervous about the Inspector Generals upcoming report into the doj and fbis handling of the russia probe. Youre not nervous unless you may have done something wrong. And our next guest say theres good reason for him to be on edge. Here to explain, jason chaffetz. Thanks for joining us this morning. Why would he be nervous . I actually thought it was a very honest answer because, look, so much of this resolves s around the dossier, its debunked, fake. And we know that at the very top of this document it says verified application in all capitals. Verified. Heres the general counsel for the fbi, somehow you have people like director comey and others signing off on this document that led to this surveillance and spying, but it was bogus. And it wasnt verified. And there are a lot of people who are going to be held to account for that as the pt Inspector General goes in and look at the genesis of how did this come about. You talk about people being held to account. What rbt the Obama Administration. I want them held to account about who authorized this. You have joe biden running for president about this. I want him asked about this. What are the odds of that . They should. Joe biden is the Vice President of the yits. United states. Wu he just a bystander who was just there for the ride, a good seat to watch president obama and the rest of the crew do their jobs. Joe biden has a lot to answer for. All of the flailing that the democrats have about this what russia was doing and trying to affect the election. 100 of it happened ondz president obamas watch. And you got to look at Loretta Lynch, look at director comey. These are all obama appointees on their watch. Jason, i want you to take a look at the president is up and tweeting today. Let me put this on the screen. He says, i became president of the United States in one of the most hard fault elections in our great nation. Long before i took office i was under a thick and unlawful information what has become known as the russian hoax. My campaign was seriously spied upon. This never happened before in American History and it turned out to be a total scam, a witch hunt, yielded no collusion, no obstruction. This must never be allowed to happen again. Your reaction. The president is 100 right. And he kickedded their butt. 30 of the 50 states went fo for donald trump. Thanks for you time. We appreciate it. Well, Vice President pence with a warning for Liberty University graduates, you will be ridiculed for being a christian. Youre going to be asked not just to tolerate things that violate your faith, youre going to be asked to enforce them. You need to prepare your minds for action. Just water. Lots and lots of water.

Well, Vice President mike pence sending off Liberty Universitys class of 2019 with a challenge to embrace their Christian Faith despite the risk of being ridiculed and shunned. Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional christian beliefs. As you go acted you go about yo, just be ready. Youre going to be asked not just to tolerate things that vol date your faith, youre going to be asked to enforce them. Here to react is host of moms on fox maition. Rachel campo camposduffy. Hppedhappy mothers day. Congratulations on baby number nine. Youre my superhero. This is like your christmas today. It is my christmas. Before we get to your new show, your reaction of why are we at a place in our country where the Vice President needs to warn christians about the persecution theyre going to face. I learned the myth of liberal tolerance very early at the age of 22 when i did a show called the real world on mtv. My roommates were so intolerant and i wanted to learn and experience so many new things. The Vice President is right to do this and he picked the Perfect Place to do it. You know, christians are the most persecuted class of people on the planet right now. And in the middle east and africa and china the per persecs are terrorists of cours terrori. In our country, what theyre doing to christians is not just shaming and ridiculing us, they want to eliminate us, remove us, erase us from the public square. Thats what this is about. Im telling you the secular progressives are angrier than ever. Its evangelical christians that put donald trump and Vice President pence into the white house because they were frustrated with feeling like they were being silenced and shamed and that there were so many laws that were antichristian and policies that came out of the Obama Administration. President trump is a reaction to that. Rachel, i love your fox nation show moms. Airing tonight, a special on the Fox News Channel and its featuring maga moms. Tell us about this. Do we have a clip . You want to show the clip . We have it. Lets go to it right now. Was there an issue in particular that made you just. I just love it. He is truly a blue collar billionaire. He speaks for the people and for the people. He resonates for a lot of people. He talks the way we talk. People listen to him and he you know fb me being a mom, the most important thing is when he speaks i believe him, i really do, and i trust him. He is a hero to me and our protector. I finally feel like we have a president that protect us and our children. Powerful message, especially when you take about the female vote and everyone is saying that vote goes to the left. This is a great show that highlights another viewpoint when it comes to mom. In the last quarter donald trump raised more money from women than any other of the other democrats. This is my mothers day gift to trumpsupporting moms because they feel like theyre shamed and silenced and they cant see themselveses out there in the media because the media doesnt want to show them. So this is a chance for them to hear other moms that share their points of view that also support the president and support the policies that hes put forth that have helped women. So if you have a mom, a grandma out in, pour them a glass of wine were give them a margarita, an hour to enjoy its sort of like a therapy session for them. Theyll sit around and know that theyre not alone. There are other intelligent smart interesting women out there supporting our president.

Newman is after hearing President Trumps nickname for him, i actually did too, calling it a generational thing. Knolls says the nickname will stick and he joins us next. President trump is known for nicknaming his political opponents on the campaign trail and mayor pete is no exception as he tells politico alfred e. Newman cannot become president of the United States. Buttbuttigieg firing back. I had to google it. Its a generational thing. Its kind of non funny, i guess. But hes the president of the United States and im surprised hhes not spending more time trying to fix china. Michael knolls, great to have you here. Lets start with the nickname. I know its dated. What do you think, smart move, bad move, turn john, turnoff to phototores . Voters . Its a brutal nickname primarily because its so funny and so visual. When you see those two together you cannot help but laugh. Its a dated reference. Pete buttigieg is right and responded in probably to best way he could which is to say ive never heard of it and youre an old man. I was a mad magazine fan as a kid. Most millennials wont get the reference. But who cares. Donald trump is the president of the United States. Now that hes said it, everyone gets the reference and the reason that were talking about it is because its a very accurate comparison, most people hadnt thought about it before and unlike alfred e. Newman, i think Pete Buttigieg should worry. Since buttigieg entered the scene, one person having trouble is beto orourke which is why hes planning a reintroduction as 2020 buzzing around. I want to get to this ap headline. Beto orourke plans reintroduction. Do you have a chance to come out of the gate, flub it a bit and then say hold on, im going to reintroduce myself. Is this going to work . That name beto orourke is not ringing a bell. Shes the guy that maybe lost in texas. Pete buttigieg is absolutely eating his luj. Buttigieg is in ever way the better version, smarter, better educated, more likable, executive experience. And he can check off another box on the intersectional victimhood period. Hes better than beto t to beto has fizzled away. The best chance that beto has is to convince iowa voters that he has a chance of bringing the electoral votes from texas over in a general election. Its hard case to make, a distant case to make. I think beto is probably not coming back. What about ocasiocortez. She appeals to young voters and theres talk of her enforcing Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. I would like to hear one who has a coherent world view and logic from which all of these policy propoarlses are going forward. I think senator sanders has a that and i think senator warren has that. Could be great in a primary but what about in a general election if you had aocs endorsement, good or bad. The video you werent saying is bernie and Elizabeth Warren saying no, please, whatever you do, dont endorse us. I wouldnt wish an aoc endorsement on my worst enemy. We cant help but talk about her and read about her. But in the state of new york, aocs home state, she is less popular than donald trump. It would be difficult for her. Im hoping she enforcing Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth warren seems to be out of the race. Shes barely register in the polls. Bernie sanders stands a legitimate chance in the primary and a legitimate chance in the general election. Endorse bernie, please. The social media is powerful. Young voters really like her. Sanders could be saying i hook in with the younger voters. She does well with the millennials. Shes on the air, snapchat and instagram. Thanks for being here. Well have more for you when we see you again soon. Thanks so much. If you were hit with a 400 emergency expense could you afford it . One third of the middle class cannot.

Jedediah all the moms watching, we love. Ou pete were covering a lot of politics this morning, including whats going on at the border. Our own Brian Kilmeades got an interview with Patrick Shanahan who has been nominated, and hes asked him how hes going to preach reproach this new job. Working for President Trump who takes a different view including issues on the border, where now the secretary of defense, the Defense Department is even more involved, heres part of what the new secretary had to say. Mr. Secretary, the reason why you have this job not as deputy but you have the job, nominated to be secretary of defense is because general mattis had a difference with the president , could not go along with the syria policy; so he decided to walk away. What are you going to do if you disagree with the president . What if theres a policy you you disagree with . How are you going to handle it . What i like about working with the president , hes a c. E. O c. E. O. Ive worked for c. E. O. S. Hes focused on outcomes and results. Will we always agree on everything . No. Are we focused, we have the same interests, the same focus . Yes. My job is to get the results we need to make this country successful, to defend this country. Pete you cannot overestimate how important it is the fact that you work for someone who takes a c. E. O. Businessman approach. People that form a committee or talk about process or talk about legislation thats never going to happen. And i think what shanahan understands is the president is going to expect results. The border is a huge part of it and different approaches around the world with our enemies in places where we havent had as much success as wed want. Jedediah based upon what im seeing from him now i think hell be a really good complement to President Trump in the same way i felt Vice President mike pence is a complement to trump. They have different energies. Shanahan is very measured. I think that will be an interesting collaboration there. Griff i think what will be interesting is the confirmation hearings, because we do see that shanahan and President Trump see eyetoeye so far on the border, and the border is such a hot issue right now, it is no doubt even for democrats that respect shanahan and perhaps in another setting would easily confirm him or going to make it i think probably difficult just for the political sake of it. Pete wasnt he confirmed i cant remember the exact numbers numbers. I think it was 927 just a couple years ago as the deputy secretary of defense. So this is a guy whos already been seen as qualified. Will this descend into partisan nonsense the way it usually does for the president s picks . Jedediah weve talked a lot about the 2020 democratic field examine it seems to me just swelling, getting larger and larger. Pete like griff at thanksgiving dinner. Jedediah exactly. There might be a new person in the race, montana governor Steve Bullock saying, you know what . I might pop in there. Why is this happening . Because joe biden is at the forefront right now, the frontrunner of this election, of the field, for the primaries, but saying, i dont know if i want to back biden. A lot of people who backed president obama are saying i dont know if biden has the same kind of equalities. I dont know if hes our guy and theyre kind of sitting back. Check out this headline for the the Washington Post. They work for obama. Theyre not supporting biden yet yet. Once again this quote, Washington Post, as they scan the field for a possible heir to the obama transformation, worrying about a repeat of the disastrous 2016 election, many others however speak of their continued hunger for a new they worry about a sighting with a lifelong washington fixture and they are eager for someone like obama who can bring new voters to the polls. So thats the question; right . Sanders generates a lot of buzz, even Kamala Harris i think has generated an interest among female voters thats been somewhat unparalleled and people are saying, does biden have that same ability as president obama did to really galvanize people . Of course he doesnt. Why was biden chosen in the first place . Because barack obama was the Hopey Changey young guy, and what did they need . A safe establishment senator who had been in washington for 30 years to just be that Vice President that would be the experienced guy to guide the new young Hopey Changey president. You cant then remake yourself as the new Hopey Changey guy. You are what you are. And so if youre looking for enthusiasm and new blood, it aint going to be joe biden. His rationale is hes going to defend the obama years. Griff but it looks like biden isnt trying to be a transformational candidate like obama but rather to say in this environment for many voters theyre uncomfortable with President Trumps leadership style, theyre shocked by the surprises that come and they feel insecure, it feels unstable theyre upset about some of the things the president s leadership style has led to, and so i think youre going to be a Biden Campaign say its not about hope and change, but lets get back to the way it was before trump, oh, and, by the way, lets keep the economy, except for that economy thing. Pete ill keep the magic wand that obama couldnt find. Jedediah i really feel like in a primary the voters go for the red meat, they want that passion they want someone whos going to be able to campaign really well, have a ton of energy, be really passionate about the causes cause. And the causes are Climate Change, we talked about health care, a lot of issues where joe biden has a moderate record that might not appeal to where moderate voters are. Griff we had a poll yesterday 82 of likely democrat voters put the top issue of Climate Change out there in the new the Green New Deal is certainly perhaps the biggest policy issue thats different from the president. Its very progressive and its going to be very difficult for biden to go to that center lane with something that doesnt meet that standard. Pete he said he wanted middle ground, he got a lot of criticism for it. Speaking of middle ground, no middle ground on the russian collusion investigation. Bob muellers report comes out, democrats not satisfied. Jerry nadler and others in the house continue these endless investigations into what happened as the real investigations go on like Inspector General horowitz and others that will look at investigating the investigators. Well, the Washington Post has a headline about this recently because there are 20 ongoing investigations, and they say trump and his allies are blocking more than 20 separate democratic probes in an allout war with congress. Ultimately what the Trump White House is saying is why should we keep playing ball when your whole approach is to just attack us any angle. Weve done the investigation. Its over. Lets move on. Griff theyre also looking beyond russia into the president president s financial records. They want his taxes. The house ways and means committee, powerful democrat chairman there richard neil investigating steve mnuc. In jedediah and the Democrat Campaign adviser is coming out no heart who you harass, its not going to change the outcome of the mueller report. Its so sad. And you know, no matter what they do whether theyre harassing our attorney general, theyre harassing my brotherinlaw, the president , its not going to change the outcome of the mueller report. We still didnt collude with russia. The president still didnt collude with rush russia. I dont know what the goal is here. Pete thats it. And the president has called it time and time again president ial harassment. This should never happen to another president as well. I think thats the key term. At this point with no evidence youre just harassing the guy. He won without releasing his tax reports and said he wasnt going to release them. People voted for him anyway and now his approval is skyhigh in this presidency, he still said im not going to release them. People are fine with that. I dont think this inside investigation baseball is going to support what the democrats d. Jedediah it looks like a hunch to find something on him. When you cant run on the issues when you dont have a strong stance on the issues, when you have a hard time running against a really strong economy, youre like how can we discredit hum, can we discredit him on a lack of transparency . Something that may in some peoples minds be obstruction of justice . Its like what can we find when in reality people have seen the rollout of the investigation, approximate supported the investigation initially, very concerned about russias influence over our election. I supported it initially but at some point you have to say, okay conspiracy did not happen, lets move on, lets talk about the issues, lets talk about health care, lets talk about these things that people really care about day to day in their households and families. Griff absolutely. You know, the key point is going to be at what point are the American Voters going to reach this fatigue level . Investigation if a are they will there already . Pete theyll have to start differentiating themselves, a few calling for impeachment, maybe a few with common sense. Maybe this new guy whos running governor Steve Bullock, hes run twice in montana. A red state. Jedediah going to some holds for you right now. Secretary of state mike pompeo heads to russia today to meet with vladimir putin. The two are expected to discuss ukraine, venezuela, syria, and election interference after the release of the mueller report. President trump has expressed optimism about forming good relations with russia after a productive phone call with putin earlier this month. And an American Airlines pilot is arrested at a kentucky airport and charged in a triple murder. Christian martin is accused of killing a couple and their neighbor in 2015. One of the victims was found shot to death. The others were in a burnedout car. Prosecutors have not said what led them to martin. American airlines has suspended him. A harvard professor representing Harvey Weinstein is out as a faculty dean. The school announcing Ronald Sullivan and his wife will not be renewed as deans but will continue working as professors. Students complained about their ability to oversee the building where they worked and lived. Sullivan came under fire again when he joined weinsteins legal team. Weinstein is charged with several sex crimes. Those are your headlines. You didnt hold your breath the whole time. What do you think, i was born yesterday, pete hegseth . You cant do that. Pete took so long with those headlines. Jedediah youd be pete i breathed threw my nose a couple of ti. Es jedediah not bad acting. Griff i thought you turned it off. Jedediah not a bad actor, as it turns out. Pete democrats striating an imam to give an opening prayer in congress. We commit ourselves to not betraying our prayers with actions that contradict them. Pete but that imam may not practice what he preaches. Turns out hes compared israel to nazis, and thats not all. Congressman lee zeldin joins us with the grow outrage coming up.

We pray for peace, not war, love, not hate, benevolence, not greed, unity, not division. And we commit ourselves to not betraying our prayers with actions that contradict them. Pete democrats inviting to the house floor a muslim imam with a long history of antiisrael remarks to give an opening prayer. Omar suleiman has compared one of our closest allies to terrorists. And in a 2014 Facebook Post demanded another intifada or up uprising with israel. Here is lee zeldin of new york, one of two jewish republicans in new york. You talked about your words being in line with your deeds being in line with your actions. Theres a breakdown here. Pete either the Speakers Office did not or worse they did vet the imam and decided it would be okay for the imam to be on the floor of the house of representatives anyway. Lets just say all you found was that he compares israel to nazis nazis. That would be enough to maybe tell that member or other members of the caucus, how do you find another imam if you want to have an imam give an opening prayer. As you pointed out, comparing israel to terrorists, inciting violence, calling for a third palestinian intifada or the posts on social media that are supportive of Muslim Brotherhood as the list goes further on, its a bad call to have this person. Its horrible judgment. And after the 2019 that weve had so far, where members of their own caucus are pushing antisemitism and antiisrael hate, it was a bad. Maria . Pete yeah. I mean, represent ilhan omar backed him up and said it was great to have him there. You were in the frontrow seat ultimately look this up and a simple Google Search points out what this guys background is. Support of the Muslim Brotherhood, antisemitism, talking about supporting up uprisings against israel. Is it truly a mindset amongst House Democrats that thats just a mainstream thought and we need to accept that from imams that we put in front of the house . Well, there are a number of House Democrats, especially a couple freshmen come to mind, you mentioned ilhan omar, rashida tlaib, theres another one that has shown antiisrael hatred, its dangerous, when you do the research and you study the Hamas Charter where they actually talk about murdered every jew and saying that jihad is an obligation, and just last week in a philadelphia Islamic Community said a Muslim America society with ties one of their founders is actually a co was a head of the Muslim Brotherhood. That just happened last weekend, radicalizing u. S. Children on u. S. Soil. Its infiltrating american politics, the halls of congress, were seeing it on college campuses, we see it at the Islamic Center in philadelphia. You should be more sensitive to have the, not less sensitive. Youre seeing a decitizenstizing right now that is hugely dangerous if that becomes takes over more and more of the Democratic Party similarly to the way that the corvinism happened to the labor party in the u. K. Pete we talked to eddie bernie johnson, who invited the imam, but she did not answer back. They are thinking about designat designating them rightful as a terrorist organization. Here is someone at the podium who says we understand what the Muslim Brotherhood wants, destruction of israel, establishment of a caliphate if they could, ultimately that mindset is alive and well in the democrat party. Nonnegotiable that they want to wipe israel off the map. Pete yes. That israel has no rights, no business to be there, and they will financially reward terrorists for murdering innocent americans and israelis. He was an United States military graduate, he was killed. The palestinians will financially reward that terrorism. What we see over there, the Muslim Brotherhood should be designated as a terrorist organization, and if you speak to islamic governments and islamic elected officials over in the middle east, many of them call the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. Pete theyre tried to do that within their own country. Absolutely. And hamas is a designated terrorist organization. Social media companies, twitter and facebook, hams and Muslim Brotherhood, they still have their twitter accounts. Meanwhile, youre bands David Horowitz here, james woods, suspending his account. Theres a real responsibility there to tackle terrorists in u. S. Companies. Pete thank you for being here. Really appreciate it. You may have seen videos on social media, people cracking eggs over their heads. Griffs daughter did one of them taking the crack cancer challenge. Griffs getting ready to take that very same challenge you might say head on coming up next next. Job. Failure is not an option. More than half of employees across the country bring Financial Stress to work. If youre stressed out financially at home, youre going to be too worried to be able to do a good job. I want to be able to offer all of the benefits that keep them satisfied. It is the people that is really the only asset that you have. Put your employees on a path to Financial Wellness with prudential. Bring your challenges. Jedediah some quick headlines. Radio Sports Reporter jared max wins a Charity Horse race in new jersey. He raised an estimated the oil fields for the Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare coalition. Yes. The rescue group fosters abandoned striking owl ought 21 batters, the sophomores rare performance is believed to be a first in new York High School softball history. How bad does that other team feel . Its elitists social media challenge going viral, and its all for a good cause. Sidney poitier. Maggie oneil and here cuban watch room. Hahaha. Griff my own daughter, mckenzie unbeknownst to me joined in on the challenge as well yesterday. Lets crack cancer one egg at a time. Griff what the heck . Fortunately theyre joining us right now and why everyones taking up this. Claire hughes, courtney billings and Kathryn Zimmerman of the really Strong Foundation. Thank you for being here. Claire, last summer, willie an amazing kid died of pediatric brain cancer. Were so sorry for your loss but what you have done is amazing. Tell us about what this is, crack cancer . Well, the crack Cancer Campaign is a fundraising effort for the really Strong Foundation that we started in favor of my son because he fought really hard and he lost his battle because theres no good treatment for gleeoblastoma in the aggressive brain tumors and if there was one child that was going to live, it was willie. He was determined, he was strong he was positive, he fought with grace, and he endured many different surgeries, chemo, radiation, immunotherapies, vaccines, and nothing worked. Theres just no good treatment for this disease so we started the foundation because we dont want children to suffer the way he did and many are and thats why we partnered with Childrens National so that we can defeat this and find good therapies and fund their resea. Ch jedediah courtney, how did you come up with this idea . I was asked to be on the board of the foundation after willie passed away. And one of the goals is to raise 2 million in five years; so i was trying to think of ways in which we can accomplish that goal; so i thought of the ice bucket challenge how successful that was, and it was so much fun for everybody, and so i thought we should do that for the willie Strong Foundation and get all ages involved and make them excited about raising money and awareness about this disease. So we came up with crack cancer. Griff kathryn, what do i got to do . You got to take that egg and crack it on your head. Pete your daughter challenged you specifically. Griff she did. With crack cancer, one small crack can make a difference. So were asking everyone to enjoy griff im going to do this on live television, its a very bad idea. You can donate at crackcancer crackcancer. Com or on venm crackcancer, or put on an Instagram Story sticker that goes to Childrens National medical center. Griff here we go. Three, two, one.

Pete ive caused you a few troubles. I kept a little grip on his arm. Jedediah im so curious what its been like for you.

The 37yearold has been in conservatorship since 2008. Griff, to you. Griff if past elections are any indication, africanamericans seem to vote democrat. But not necessarily liberal. And our next guest says this should be a warning for democratic hopefuls pushing a progressive agenda. David web host of reality check, on fox nation, a Fox News Contributor radio host, web, youve got the pulse of this, tell us what were seeing in terms of our progressives taking africanamericans for granted. Well, in fact the left takes everyone for granted, but they have abused the black community in america for decades. You and i have talked about this over the years. When you look at how they literally treat them, they give them programs, they dont give them opportunity, they create things that make them dependent on government, literally they pay the fathers to not be in the family. So that break down thats happened since the sixties is a new generation. Now theyve gotten so used to it and blacks have surrendered their Political Party by giving their overwhelming support for so on, theres blow back. A new generation is saying, hang on. What are you actually giving me . Im living in the same area, same problem, with the same problem that my parents and my grandparents did, and they should not take that for granted granted. Theyre going to lose on that. Griff we have a 2017 pew poll on democrat africanamericans, 40 moderate, 30 conservative, only 28 liberal. That may be shocking to some. Well, it shouldnt be to the people who have to live with their situation, and that is that very community. And as blacks we have looked at this and said what are the principles that actually have made us better . Conservative principles, building a business, keeping the family together, getting a good education, having a safe community, these are fundamental values for all people. Its not limited by color of skin, but democrats have played that game. I just got data a couple days ago, pew put out a new poll about issues along racial lines. 2017 to now, griff, 2019, very similar trends. People care about the very basic things in life that you and i d. Griff and you may be talking about this in arizona at a very big events coming up this week. Were going to have fun.

Com summit, sign up up, hurry, its filling up. Im going to throw a party monday in scottsdale, arizona. Griff check out reality check on fox nation if you havent already. Thank you, david. Say goodbye to valedictorians. One high school is getting rid of the honor because the competition is bad for students mental health. But larry wing says competition is a good thing. He sounds off next. Stay tuned. Book now and enjoy free unlimited open bar and more. Norwegian cruise line. Feel free. All you graduates. Is you go out into the world is, my advice to you is dont go its rough out there move back with your parents. Let them worry about it jedediah the debate over coddling kids is heating up as an Ohio School District decides to ditch valedictorian honors altogether, this in an effort to protect students mental health. But can competition be a good thing . Here to weigh in is the pill bull of personal development and author of whats wrong with damn near everything . Larry winget. Welcome to the show. Larry, this stuff really twists me in a knot. I was valedictorian of my college because i worked my bum off for it day and night, and i appreciated that honor. There were things that i succeeded in; there were things that i didnt. But all of those successes and failures trained me to do a Little Something called life. So what are these kids missing out on . Well, theyre going to miss out on life, just like you just said. Whats amazing to me is the lack of logic behind this, that somehow we think you becoming valedictorian and yet did not you did the work and denying you that title is somehow going to make me a better student. Its somehow going to make me a better person. It doesnt work like that at all all. Competition always makes us stronger. And somehow weve reached this place in our finances dont get too rich, dont become too successful at your business, dont be the best player, well take that away from you, too, we do it in sports, finances, business, and now in academics that we somehow believe that taking away the recognition for high achievement will make the rest of us rise, and it wont be be. It will have absolutely the opposite eff. Ct Jedediah Mason High School Principal bobby dodd has issued a statement. It says this will help reduce the overall competitive cultural at mhs to allow students to focus on exploring learning opportunities that are of interesting to them. We asked for an updated statement to this. We have not received it as of yet. How does this sit with you . It doesnt sit well with me because when you go out in the real world you compete for everything. When you graduate you compete for the job, to keep that job. If you start your own business, not working for somebody else, you start your own business you will compete with others who have started similar businesses and youre alls going to compete for your customers money. The whole world is about competition. What bothers me maybe the most about all of this is we have School Systems and teachers who are supportive of this and parents who are allowing this who are so concerned about that one valedictorian where they should be concerned about other things, when you realize according to the department of education, 19 of High School Students graduate and they cant read. Why arent we concerned about the 19 who cant read instead of one that excels academically . Jedediah its such a disservice to these students that go into cool and its like theyre living in this bubble, everybody gets a trophy, everybody gets a pat on the back, nobody gets distinguished. Then suddenly they get the Culture Shock of real life and they miss all those preparatory character lessons to build up that backbone and build up that strength. We dont win by always winning. We win most in life from the lessons we got when we lost. And failure is a part of character building, youre right right. But were not even talking about failing here. We just dont want you to win too big because that might my ego is so fragile, my psyche is so fragile that you just doing better than me and being recognized for it will destroy me.

And we have asked for photos from people at home, pictures of people with their moms, and we have some photos that have poured in. Pete this ones from mary on her wedding day with her mom, diane. Jedediah and here is janice having a conversation with their rescue dog, rupert. Oh, i love that. Pete you got your wish. Griff this is baby antiwishing his mom jackie a happy mothers day.

I love your pets and all the pet mommies out there pete your e day was yesterday. Todays the human mommy. Jedediah it counts. Pete happy mothers day, we love it. Griff but we do have some numbers pete hows your hair, griff . We cracked an egg on his head. Griff for a good cause. Im saving jedediah here [laughter] pete it took a long time to get out, and its still extra greasy. Jedediah i dont think you were ready for how much egg we were, like, griff, do you want to take your jacket off . At first you were like, oh, i dont need to. Griff they said youre a good egg. Jedediah that looks like an organic egg. I can spot an organic egg anywhere. It was a brown egg. I could tell by the color and tone. Pete you would. Griff id beover begannic and healthy and progressive, is it . Organic. I digress. Lets preg on to the news, and that is the border issue. We broke if some news today, and that is the can customs and Border Protection giving us some brand new numbers. The southern border with mexico, there is now more than half a Million People that have been apprehended in fiscal year 2019. Were only seven months into it. You see 504,300, that is unprecedented particularly because of the number of family units, the makeup of the people that are coming. This time last year, the entire fiscal year of 2018, was 396,000 pete seven months versus a whole year. Griff and the takeaway, of course, is the Border Patrol agents tell us theyre look at upwards of a Million People, and that doesnt even include the people who werent stopped at the border. Jedediah yeah. We spoke to tom homan earlier who reacted to the numbers and talked about what he feels the United States bust do to stop this must do to stop this from growing. Take a listen. This is unprecedented. Ive seen these types of numbers a couple of decades ago, but 90 percent of them were mexican nationals who were removed within an hour or within two hours, theyre reentered. This population isnt going home, and that is the driver behind this whole thing. Theyre not going home which brings up the thing ive been saying on this news channel for many months. I. C. E. Needs to do a national operation. Go find those family members, theyll have their day in cored, theyve been ordered removed by e a federal judge. Unless we do that, these numbers are continue to climb. Pete right. Youre going to get dak that 2. 0 daca 2. 0. There are many of them are family units, but a lot of it is child exploitation. Its trafficking in kids as a ticket to get into this country. Weve heard of kids being recycled multiple times across the border because they understand thats the ticket. We also have more reporting, and well get to it, of a process by which special Interest Groups are using families and kids as a tool to push an open borders agenda, and the longer we dont act on it we know trump wants to, we know that, and new members of his cabinet, but Congress Aint gonna do anything. Griff Brian Kilmeade was down in mcallen, texas, he was talking to acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan about why the dod is being brought in for this crisis. Take a listen. Gotta have help from dod to ine crease our total capacity e so that we can do both missions effectively. Reporter in terms of numbers, what is the pentagon committed to . What have they been asked to do . Were going to be here until the borders are secure. Weve got to have the backs of the men and women down here being overrun. Pete you know, previous defense secretaries focused a hot on foreign wars and, ultimately, President Trump crushed isis, and thats extremely important. But you get the sense that these new guys are going to be told to focus on our southern border, securing our borders, investing here, even reallocating money from afghanistan, the war there, toward building border wall. And if you want to fix the problem like a ceo wants to, youve got to do it with the tools you have at your disposal. Jedediah and the question is how are the democrats going to recognize against an administration who was at the forefront saying, listen, these numbers are growing at an exponential rate. We need to support these Border Patrol agents, support people at the border that are asking for more funding and asking for assistants. How are democrats going to run against that . Are they going to be the party that ignore the humanitarian crisis, that didnt want to invest in this . That wanted their political talking points . Griff theyre going to say, youre racist. Jedediah that only goes so far. Talking points just completely dissolve, and the reality and i think most people around the country are recognizing that this is, in fact, is reality. This was not a talking point that was ushered out by the trump administration. In contrast, democrats wanted their talking point against trump, youre right, hes racist, antiimmigrant, when what he was doing was trying to get ahead of a crisis. Griff now what these numbers are telling us is that not only is it a crisis, but theyre going to get worse. Theres really no way in the short order to keep it from getting worse. Border patrol agents saying theres going to be upwards of a Million People coming this year, and youve also got the situation in venezuela in the last four years, nearly 3. 5 Million People have fled that country in south america. Its only a matter of time before they get up here. This is a little bit in the weeds, but the gotting mall land secretary for internal affairs and strategic intelligence deals with these sorts of things and, remember, got malignant is guatemala is right below mexico, hes worried about the leaders of countries and the impact of more venezuelans and others pete sometimes when youre in the weeds, you get a chance to see the implications of the actual bigger picture. This guys name is mario during erte. Du or erte. He gave us some real insight on why migrants are really camming to the coming to the United States. Listen. Poll stickses have claimed throughout poll politicians have claimed throughout the years that my grants or people from Central America, other places in latin america try to migrate to the United States mainly because of security reasons. The truth is its very different. Most of the people are trying to reach the United States today because of economic reasons. We have had all these globalized or globalization projects in our countries where they are trying to pretty much install the will of other countries, pretty much the u. N. , in our ways of doing our government. Im talking more about, you know, judges, magistrate, our judicial system being corrupted in a certain way by leftist tendencies. Pete so leftist coopting a system to push a globalist u. N. Based agenda of open borders. Hes saying these migrants are coming because they want a better life, which is wonderful, but we have a process for that already. Come in legally. Theyre exploiting vulnerable kids, women to make this long are journey so they can make a a point about open borders and make america look bad. So to hear someone from there say thats the real reason should be an eyeopener to lawmakers. Jedediah and the problem is were incentivizing it. Youre right, we should have compassion. I understand why people from other countries want the benefit from the economic system. I i think want to i know they want to support themselves and their families, but youre right, there is a process. We cannot incentivize actions that lead to such a humanitarian crisis, these women crossing the border undergo such horrific circumstances. We should not be incentivizing lawlessness pete because our focus is american citizens jedediah National Security as well. Pete the rule of law here before worry aring about whether or not we take care of those who come here illegally. Rule of haw has to matter, and thats what the president has made as a point. Griff you interviewed Vice President pence, talked about immigration. He was doing a commencement speech here over the weekend at Liberty University pete great university. Griff and he had a message for those students to be prepared to be ridiculed for their faith. Its very powerful stuff. Take a listen. Throughout most of American History its been pretty easy to call yourself a christian. Didnt even occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the bible. But things are different now. Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional christian beliefs. You need to show that we can love god and love our neighbor at the same time through words and deeds. [applause] as you strengthen your foundation of faith and the foundation of faith among the American People, you will be strengthening the foundation of america itself. [applause] pete Rachel Campos duffy summarized it it well earlier. She said whether its in europe or the middle east or north africa, youve got radical islamists targeting christians, burning down churches. Here youve got secular progressives who dont like those traditional values, is so theyre trying to shut it down. Thats a true warning not just for Liberty University graduates, but for any christian or person of faith who wants to stand up boldly today. Jedediah and i commend mike pence for standing by his faith. He really lives his faith and, thus, hes a really good spokesperson. He seems to really be living that way and want to advocate for people who are strong christians and really believe in these tenets to feel confident to go out there and say this is who i am, this is what i stand for. Pete remember when joe biden said he was a good guy and he got all the criticism from the left . Jedediah were going to turn to some headlines for you. Th Patrick Shanahan providing some unsight into the pentagons strategy on north korea. Discussing the issue in an exclusive interview with Brian Kilmeade after the rogue nation launched more Ballistic Missiles this week. The strategy with north korea hasnt changed, the diplomat ific one. But its about whole denuclearization. My job is to make sure that were prepared in the event diplomacy fails. Thats my focus with the military. Theres no change to our force posture, our force preparation and our readiness. Coincidence . They looked like russian rockets. Coincidence . They had a meeting, kim jong un and vladimir putin, a couple weeks ago. Is it a coincidence . Ill leave that for you to decide. Jedediah youll see more of brians exclusive interview tomorrow on fox friends. And the stepfather of a missing 4yearold texas girl is arrested in her disappearance overnight. Police say the man is charged with tampering with a human corporation. Police have not corpse. Prison say blood evidence was in his apartment.

Injection site reactions may occur. Dont change your dose without talking to your doctor. Tell your doctor about all medicines and medical conditions. Check insulin label each time you inject. Taking tzds with insulins may cause Heart Failure that can lead to death. Toujeo, ask your doctor. Lets groove tonight. The president of the United States worked actively to obstruct justice. This is enough here to bring an impeachment proceeding. Congress should take the steps towards impeachment. I think hes made it pretty clear that he deserves impeachment. Pete some democrats have big plans for trumps impeachment, but our next guest says the Inspector Generals upcoming report could spell disaster for those plans. Griff former deputy independent counsel in the white water investigation, saul wisen berg. Saul, good morning to you. Morning. Griff so this thing could not, could end up being not exactly what democrats thought. What do you say . Well, keep this in mind, what Nadlers Committee is doing whether you agree with it or not is a political act. Michael horowitz, the Inspector General, is not a politician. Hes a professional. Hes almost been a lifelong public servant. He is going to try to do the right thing. He was appointed by obama, he is nonpartisan, he was on instruct9 by the Obama Administration obstructed by the Obama Administration repeatedly by eric holder, Loretta Lynch and sally yates. They had to actually pass a new statute to give him his authority back. But he is not there to settle scores. And when he already, you know, hes already looked at the clinton email investigation, and he came out and he said very strongly that jim comey acted inappropriately and that Andrew Mccabe lied to him. But my view is conservatives, true conservatives shouldnt want to, quote, lock anybody up unless they deserve it. And what he is going to do, horowitz i believe is look and see whether there were violations of the law in the fisa process. And if there were, hes going to identify the people, and those people we need to hold accountable, and if they deserve to be prosecuted, they should be, and i think they will be. So whether that sorry, go ahead. Pete no, i was just going to say weve heard Top Democrats say were in a constitutional crisis. Is there anything that the Inspector General could reveal that would walk them back from the precipice theyre at right now . Oh, i think that if he actually has something significant to report, and i think that he will, it will change the political dynamic. But we are, we are not in a constitutional crisis at all. Its ridiculous to say that because william barr will not violate the law by releasing grand jury material, were in a constitutional crisis. These people are, i mean, jerry nadler is a political hack, thats all there is to it. Jedediah yeah. Barr has been pleatly demonized by completely demonized by those on the left. If horowitz comes out with information the left doesnt like, my guess is he will be the next target of someone they will be demonizing for, you know, hes biased, hes this, hes that. Oh, and i think if mueller doesnt perform, assuming that mueller testifies, if he doesnt perform in the way that hes supposed to perform, he will be demonized too. Theyve already started to criticize him for not flat out saying that the president criminally obstructed justice. So anybody who is legitimate, anybody who has gravitas that does anything to support President Trump, even if legally theyre right, must be demonized. They must be. Pete every time. Griff saul, thanks for joining us today. Pete hes helping synagogues, were going to bring that story to you coming up.

Greeting cards are the most popular mothers day gift, about 75 of all americans plan to give their mom a heart felt card. Its only 9 30, theres still time if you havent done so. Jedediah sups the deadly attack since the deadly attack on a california synagogue, jewish leaders are trying to find new ways to protect their congregations. Pete one man who calls himself the tactical rabbi is lending his knowledge and experience as a firearms expert by providing Community Defense training. Philadelphia give hes the owner of National Defense Firearms Training and joins us now with more. Rabbi, this is very unique. We havent heard. This why are you doing this . So, unfortunately, the times that we live in today, were seeing a lot of antisemitism. But its not only against jews, its amongst all of the religions, and its definitely a huge issue that needs to be dealt with. Pete did you ever think youd have to be at a point where youre training you usually train privately in Law Enforcement. Now youre training rank and file rabbis and others in the Jewish Community to defend their synagogues. How did we get here . So i did originally start training privately military, Law Enforcement and security agencies. Im now going to see a lot more people from synagogues, churches, mosques, all other groups looking for high quality training because of the incidents that have been going on. Its definitely not something i wanted to the happen, but it seems like we are, unfortunately, in a time where it is necessary. Jedediah im curious, rabbi, what the response has been in the Jewish Community. Im really appreciative that youre doing this. Its unfortunate that you have to do it, but with your record of, i mean, trained in tactical response, counterterror response, active shooter situations, you are the ideal candidate to go in and train these individuals. What has the reception been . So this, obviously, have been a lot of positive and negative feedback. There are, obviously, some people who dont feel that firearms should be used in these situations. And to an extent, i actually agree with that. The class that i had recently, we discussed that firearms are necessary, but they are the last step that should be taken in a defensive encounter. We did speak about there are four levels of protection and, obviously, due to security reasons, i cant go into detail of exactly what that means. But the overall idea is that there are four levels of protection. Theres deterrence, making yourself not a target to begin with, early warning, understanding that if you do become a target, youll have an advantage to know its coming. Fortification, being able to lock down a facility if necessary. And then, confrontation is when an individual who is well trained and proficient in what theyre doing to be able to deal with the threat. Griff rabbi, if people watching this right now, a rabbi or someone else, wants to further protect their house of faith, they can visit ndftraining. Com. But, quickly, where should they begin . Where do they start to get ready so anyone could obviously reach out to me. I work with all houses of worship as well as schools anden even homes with creating plans to help secure the facilities. The best way to start is by getting a security audit which means that a professional will walk through your built and tell them where your weak points are, where it could be dangerous, where possible threats could come from and how to set it up for your best success. Pete good stuff. Rabbi, thanks for taking the initiative. We live in the unfortunate times in that sense, and people defending themselves, ultimately, is something youve got to do. So, rabbi cohen, thank you so much for your time. Griff thank you, rabbi. Thank you. Griff all right. First, we talked with my mom on the phone, then petes parents were here. Now its jeds turn. Her parents, solange and tony, are here. There they are. [laughter] jedediah there they are. Uhoh. Uhoh. Our members shop a little differently. So we reward every purchase. Lets see what kate sent.

Weve got plenty of time. [laughter] well, shes absolutely wonderful. She was a wonderful child. She was very shy, by the way. Pete no. Yes. I would register her in gymnastics and camp, and then wed have to take her out the next day. [laughter] tony never knew, of course [laughter] how was camped today, darling . And we would look at each other and say it was wonderful, daddy. [laughter] she never went. She never participated again. So to see her on television so often, every weekend and sometimes during the week, we look at each other and say this was this child never spoke. [laughter] griff well, she certainly e came out of her shell. Tony, were you surprised . Well, let me tell you a little bit of a story. She went to st. Joseph academy on staten island. She was in the second or third grade. We had a teachers conversation, sister alexandra called us in and said to us, listen, i know theres a brain inside that head of your daughters, but she never opens her mouth. Shes afraid to talk. [laughter] so im going to put some pressure on her, ask her questions and get her to come out of her shell. Shes, she might be a little intimidated by it and come home and complain a little, but sooner or later its going to work. And it worked. Because after a while, as you can see, hard to stop her from talking. Jedediah pete encounters that every now and then. Pete that sturdied a heck of a good job, by the sister did a heck of a good job. Pete whats it like the watch her more than excel . So proud. I cant i burst. And sometimes i just say to myself, you know, this is my child. This is my child on television, and the whole world is watching her. And its just wonderful. Its a wonderful feeling. If. Pete what was the key ingredient of being a mother to jedediah . Well, i think we talked a lot personally. I think, you know, we shared a heartbeat once pete thats a great way to put it.

Things are booming right now. Youve got wages up three and a quarter percent yearoveryear, first time weve seen the American People get a raise for the first time in literally a decade. Economic growth at 3. 25 in the last quarter. Youre talking about growth of about 3 , another thing we havent seen in about a decade. Its going to be very, very difficult to run against what is obvious to the American People. And i think the American People understand, and i think that people see right through this stuff. I mean, they see through what nadler is trying to do in the Judiciary Committee, trying to take down donald trump. All of the dems, all they have right now is lets get donald trump out of office. I mean, thats what theyre doing. Thats their policy. Theres nothing like, okay, well, we understand that, you know, the American People want health care. We understand that the American People want secure borders. No policies whatsoever. Of its all lets get together and take town the president. Its not working, because people see right through it. Pete absolutely. Maria, sunday morning futures looks ahead, youve been ahead of the curve on a lot of issues. Thank you. Pete if i am sincerely fascinated with the china trade talks, with what comes out. Theyre playing a game, were pushing back. I agree with you, pete. This is probably the most important story of the day right now, china. Look, youve got two completely different approaches, communism, capitalism. So its going to be hard to actually get a deal where we agree on everything because weve got completely different approaches. I think both countries want a deal, and at some point maybe we will see a deal, but i think its going to be very hard to take the chinese away from doing what they do, and thats cultural, and that is steal intellectual property, force the transfer of technology. Look, theyve got a plan in place, and that plan is in place for the next 50, 100 years, and thats what they want to do. They want to look at america and see how they do things in terms of innovation and use with it for their own economy. Pete steal it from us. And steal it from us. Look, i think the president has done a good job in terms of saying, no, were not going to take this anymore. Both sides of the aisle are saying were going to talk to Lindsey Graham about that this morning. Hes going to break news on the program coming up. Remember a couple weeks ago he said when i come back from recess, im going to have a plan for immigration. Im going to have a plan to change these loopholes so that we dont have what youve shown us so beautifully, the incredible crisis going on at the border. So Lindsey Grahams bringing that bill down this upcoming wednesday. Hes going to break news this morning and show us the griff you did a great job on that show down there thank you. Coming from you, that man evens the world to me that means the world to me. A texas congressman coming on as well to talk about. Dan crenshaw will talk a little about what hes seeing from his standpoint, being a texas congressman. And, you know, i think its so incredible that youve got this renting of children going on, and i saw it up close and personal whereas people are taking kids, paying for a child when theyre in mexico, crossing the border, and then theyre done with the child. Theyre either leaving them wherever or sending them back, and then they do it again. Its just so incredible, the fact that the democrats are not calling in the what it is, which is a crisis. And thats another thing, the American People, wouldnt it be nice to have a democrat hopeful coming out and saying, you know what . Donald trump did a really good job with the economic policy. He cut regulation, taxes, and look what we got. So i want to continue that. But youre not getting that kind of honesty. Jedediah that would be great but, unfortunately, in a democratic primary, they cannot do that theyre not getting that kind of honesty, but they want honesty. Thats why they elected donald trump. Jedediah they feel it. Pete thats why bill maher is sometimes interesting because hell cut against the orthodoxy of the left. Jedediah its true. Griff tune in. president well stick around for your show. Pete maria, what better way to say you than a brothers day . No, its a mothers day brunch. [laughter] jedediah you almost had it.
