Women. The frustration is over the 1. 9 billion bill that president barack obama is asking be passed so they can use that money to combat zika, and yet with the possibility infected mosquitoes can spread throughout the country, congress is now taking a twoweek holiday break which means a compromised funding bill is likely week if not months away. The cdc says every day waisted can make the difference. Memorial day weekend is the start of mosquito season in the u. S. We have a narrow window of opportunity to scale up effective zika prevention measures, and that window of opportunity is closing. Reporter the virus is spread by infected mosquitoes. Symptoms include mild fever and a skin rash. The cdc says its clear zika causes microreceively, or an normally small heads in infants and other birth defects. There have been 544 travel associated cases of zika in the United States and some folks we talked to say they are worried. Scared of mosquitoes now more than i normally would be. Traps milted by mosquitoes, and so those are around you and you dont have any control over it. It is a bit scarier. At this moment i dont feel like its our biggest threat. But i think at a time could come where it could easily be. Its spreading quickly. Im from brazil and im not afraid. I mean, theres some cases there in my city, but its just not a big deal. Reporter brazil is the epicenter of the zika virus and 150 Public Health experts from around the world are now urging that the summer olympics be moved from rio because of zika virus. We have much more coming on the zika virus. With a door on how to protect yourself. Now to the economy. It was official today, the economy growing at. 8 of a percent in the first three months of the year, thats up slightly from a prior estimate but still, the weakest pace we have seen in more than a year. The white house blaming it on a global slowdown and low oil prices. To blakeber moan how this is black berman. First of two california stops today, donald trump addressed the water issues there. Using that as an example of how jobs could return. He said if he is president , hell take care of that states water problem and would get it done quick. Trump said that would help fathom farmers in the golden state and improve their job market. The billionaire businessman doled out some real estate advice. Ifif a offering another small glimpse how he says he can enhance the economy. I would do, before i win, go buy all those empty factories all over the place, im telling you. Buy them for 37 cents. Because if i win, those factories will be vibrant again and you will have made a killing in the real estate market. Okay . Well, in a related note, trump said the most important thing to him, should he win, would be national security. The nomination of Supreme Court justices and the economy falling the line after that. Thank you very much. So the question again is, what is it going to take to get the economy going. Lets ask a Fox Business Networks charlie gasperinolending tree founder, and the democratic strategist, doug, you started a very Successful Company that is actually doing a lot within the private sector enthusiasm we spread the magic in the country . I think one thing is to be very, very smart about regulation. Can speak for the financial industry, and while there might be wellmeaning regulations to tamp down the financial crisis, the fact of the matter is now we have Community Banks and nonbank lenders, even things like air b b and the sharing economy coming under threat of future regulation biz Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, trying protect the established interests. We need a vibrant economy where Small Businesses can grow into big businesses, and last time i check, most people in america actually work for business, so lets not bemoan business. Doug, lending club was came out a couple year ago, was going to help the average person get loans, its almost dead. What happened . Was that regulations that killed that . No. It suit absolutely wasnt. Lending club is a very wellrun company. They obviously had some internal control issue but represents what happens to anything in a new era where there were about 100 Companies Like them. Some will win, some lose, some get it right again, and come back. But the more competitors, at least lending trees perspective, the more institutions competing for a customers business the more free the market is, you lower credit for customers and give more customers more accessibility to credit. Jessica, we got a bump in a gdp report,. 8 baby bump. Im sure that the Clinton Campaign the pompoms are going off. This is right in Donald Trumps wheelhouse, forget about everything what he says is in his wheelhouse. Talking bat successful billionaire businessman going around a country saying im going to bring jobs back, versus an economy that is barely making it. Definitely. This does favor donald trump. Hillary clinton is having to do a very delicate dance in terms of earning the obama economy. We have had some growth, and she went out there and said she was going to make become public her in the czar because in the 90s we had gdp growth she is polar opposite of bill clinton. She is not polar opposite on lower taxes, less regulations this is not youve know this well. This is politics at play. Lets go through it. Hillary clinton is calling for higher, much higher taxes on the upper end, not calling for cuts to the Capital Gains tax which bill clinton has done. Not calling for a decrease in regulation which bill clinton did. She is doing everything. She is mimicking more Bernie Sanders than bill clinton what been investment in r d. Everybody does that. Really . Donald trump hasnt talked about that at all. These are things that make success no one one at a time. Actually not. Bill clinton was successful because he inspired businesses to spend more and you had a boom in silicon valley, not because of infrastructure spending. One of other thing. What deno about Hillary Clinton from inside the campaign, the big issue is that the seven year cycle on this tepid, lousy economic recovery turns now as the Campaign Turns towards now, the good news for her, jess car is it housing is starting to look really good and expect additions have been so lo donald trump has talked about infrastructure. How does hillary set herself apart. She cant count on bill clinton i think its a mistake to bring him inch she is running herself and will be the president. Bill clinton wont. What she has to do is distinguish herself from Bernie Sanders, because thats what is going on right now. Shes not. She is, she talks about taxes pie in the sky policy. We cant. Hold on one sackett. Tax free doug, i want too bring you in. As a businessman, and someone who really is in the heart of all of this, what are the things you want to see in the next president do . Is it taxes, regulations in i think its the regulations even more than the taxes. First off i wish the dialogue would be about substance over form as opposed to political strategy, which we would be talk mortgage about policies itch think the republican policies and the trump policies are about lower taxes, fewer loopholes, protecting america first, pitting American Workers first instead of globalization. On the Foreign Policy front, protecting our interests instead of everybody else and were all taxpayers and paying for it. Who i pay our own tax dollars to protect somebody else. We should do at that times but put ourself first. The second clinton terms, economic policies, much more like trumps than he was pushed over there, too, by newt gingrich. Hillary clinton doubling down on defending her private emails and trump, well, he is not letting up. A great americans, these are people that want to im betty white and im known for trying to be funny but today id like to talk to you about something serious. I was nervous about living alone, what if i fell, how would i get help, but now philips lifeline allows me to live with confidence because i know help is always available.

And gets to a point, what are you doing . One day before she gets it or two weeks after she gets it . Almost we almost dont want that. If its going to be done, let it be done, and if not, were going after her verbally because what she did is so wrong. So wrong. Donald trump isnt letting up on his attack of Hillary Clinton and her use of private emails when she was secretary of state. Well, hillary isnt letting up either. To foxs Catherine Herridge with the latest. Reporter today cheryl mills, clintons personal attorney and chief of staff at the state department is giving a deposition about their email practices and how they decided which were personal and which were work related. The federal judge took the step of allowing interview, what are called depositions as part of a freedom of information act lawsuit after it appeared the court had been misled. A state Department Official also recently gave sworn testimony and according to the newly released transcript lukens assumed clinton was using personal email to stay in touch with friends and family. He also said he saw clinton checking her nongovernment issued blackberry on the state departments executive floor, which is considered a secure area. Especially her office which has safeguards to handle classified information. Using a blackberry for government business was against the rules and mrs. Clinton was warned there were Security Issues and she acknowledged the warnings. Secondly, using a blackberry in or near a secure facility like the executive suite of the secretary of state could compromise secret information in that system. Reporter the state Department Spokesman mark toner said the use of personal Electronic Devices is not permitted on the executive floor and no waiver was grabbed for clinton granted for clintons office. Half dozen depositions have been done and mrs. Clinton mail be called for a deposition as well. Thank you very much. Now to our legal eagles to help us sort this out. Lisa and nicole. Lisa, help us understand weapon keep hearing hillary and her defenders say it was a mistake, an honest mistake but not criminal. Well, it was criminal actually if you look at the u. S. Code, title 18. Says that she does have an obligation to preserve information correctly, and in fact, if she possesses or retains information without authority, which is what she did by putting it on a personal server she is in violation of the law and could be charged with a misdemeanor. The law is clear there other allegations, did she make false misrepresentations to federal authorities and there was the oath. She was the secretary of state and did say she would probably keep the federal records preserved. Again, that is part of the laws of the United States. Nicole, thats the rub. Not only is she taking notes and was secretary of state and now running for the highest office in the land, and just saying it was an honest mistake doesnt cut it. Doesnt cut it probably in the court of Public Opinion and many people believe it ever gets to a real court, it wont cut it there, either. Theres no exception in the law which says im running for Public Office and so therefore the legal system cant apply its rules to me, and it certainly isnt the case here. So the judge is ordering this case proceed. Its exactly the right thing to do. There isnt any reason legally speaking that this case should be delayed and the investigation goes on. Then having said that, nicole, when hillary says that others have done it, even with the scathing report from the Obama Administration that the Washington Post i was shocked how they leveled even they were upset at Hillary Clinton. Even theyre saying everyone else did it. Wasnt the first secretary of state. Wasnt the only employee to do this. Sort of everyone enough it was an open secret, sloppy system, therefore no one is at fault. Well, i think we all learned as teenagers they excuse, everybody is doing it, doesnt carry much water, and its definitely not going to carry much water in a court of law. Either is finance the law, conduct in violation of a statute, or its not and comes down to that. Everybody should look at the the with a she did it. The way she did it. She is the only secretary of state that exclusively used her own private server, even in the past when they looked at other secretaries of state. They may have had private emails but they did utilize the government email system. Were talking about classified information, top secret documents. Lisa. Many of these cases, it ended up at the end of the day that the coverup is worse than the crime or what they get them for. A lot of people feeling like hillary is digging herself in deeper and deemer. Is there a coverup going on here. I think its the nature of hillary. She has been running for the presidency basically since before her husband left office, and she has always had this issue with transparency and its no secret were seeing it again. She still has investigations going on for whitewater and now were looking at her for private emails. Its just really kind of like her hard bin jerry and she harbinger and she cars its whoever she goes and in the court of Public Opinion she is already nicole, the likelihood that we could see some finality to this before the election, maybe even before the democratic convention, can you give us the odds on that . I think thats likely. These investigations door tailed, they take time put youll find Defense Attorneys till their clines the more talking there is, the worse its usually is for the client. So in this case we have a lot of talking going on, and all of these statements which are being made are being recorded in some form of fashion. Now we have the depositions and i think decisions can be made very soon based on the information they have collected thus far. Ladies, really appreciate your strong legal expertise. Have a great weekend. Breaking news for you. Donald trump issuing other statement saying it would be inappropriate for him as a the Presumptive Republican president ial nominee, to debate democrat second place finish Bernie Sanders so looks like there will be no debate.

How bad the zika virus could get here in america, it was in a faraway police a couple months ago, then puerto rico, and now mostly through sex. The thing i right now the cases in the u. S. Are for people that have traveled from other countries, contracted it there and then come to the u. S. Were worried about local transmission, getting it from a mosquito in the u. S. Even if you never leave the continental u. S. And thats the concern. Were expecting to have cases this summer. The real hope is that we can control those and make it very limited, not have a widespread outbreak. How do you do that. Ive one trying to control mosquitoes in my backyard, i buy this or that gadget, and now were talking about impacting the birth of a child. Absolutely. So, there are different ways. An individual can work on it in terms of using repellant, using protective long sleeved clothing and make sure youre in air conditioning as much as possible no standing water in your yard or land, but then as a more global government effort we have to look how were controlling mosquitoes and may have jeanette click engineered mosquitoes that can compete with the ones carrying the zika but its a big concern for pregnant women or those thinking of becoming pregnant. My daughterinlaw is pregnant and wont leave the house, and when you say put on mosquito repellant, the risk versus the reward, thats not enough. That just does not sound secure enough for pregnant woman during mosquito season to risk it. Well, right now, we dont have mosquitoes carrying it here in the u. S. So i dont think its time to panic at the moment. We have to see how this unfolds over the next couple of months here in the u. S. Itch think mosquito repellant is the fir stem but well need more drastic measures. Initially it was mosquitoes and then we found out it could be passedly to sexual intercourse so so much were still learning. That adds a certain element of uncertainty. Absolutely. This is an evolving story and scientist are rushing to learn as much as they can. We know is dot cause microreceively, the smaller than normal brains for babies. It is present in semen up to at least 60 days after exposure. The other problem is 80 of people who contract it dont exhibit any symptoms so you might not know you have it and we dont have a reliable test to diagnosis it. So theres a lot we need to develop, learn, and hopefully the vaccine is the longterm solution for this. The solution but something we can get maybe sooner rather than later . Well some sort of race going on. Theres a race going on and accord together cdc theyll be doing phase one trials in september and hoping for charger trials early part of next year. Washington, dc theres talk of maybe raising applying up to 2 billion to this. I dont think money solves everything when it comes to d. C. But something has to be done. How should they apply those kind of funds. Just what we said. Learn more about how the virus works and how to prevent and it that costs money. That type of research, is very expensive. The species of mosquitoes that carries it, is it just indigenous to south america . That the mosquito is something we have in parts of the u. S. Right here, and thats the concern. If it gets here we do have the right type of mosquito to carry it and spread it and thats why were worried. Ultimately could that cross go to ultimately could any potentially type of mosquito carry the virus. Potentially. Right now no, only seen in certain species but can that genetically modify ands to other species . It is possible. Thank you. Really appreciate it. Hoch this doesnt live up anywhere near the fear we have. I hope not. Have a great weekend. You, too. The drama, spence, spence and then the tie and now the debate. Can america spell winner. Who wants to win think most competitive kids throughout and theyre okay with a tie. Well be right back. With my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go. And how to deal with my uc. To me, that was normal. Until i talked to my doctor. She told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. Thanks for tnorfolk around and i just wanted to say, geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years roger that. Captains waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now.

Think about this. This keyeds fight tooth and nail and a tie. Heres the plan. You grow up wanting to be a lawyer, because your dads a lawyer. And you land a job with a 401k and meet your wife. Youre surprised how much you both want kids, and equally surprised you cant have them. So together, you adopt a little boy. And then his two brothers. And you up your Life Insurance because four people depend on you now. Then, one weekend, when everyone has a cold and youve spent the whole day watching tv, you realize that you didnt plan for any of this, but you wouldnt have done it any other way. With the right financial partner, progress is possible. Hast. That is correct. [cheering] look at these kids. Youd think they were on the same team put they were actually competing against each other for hours last night at the nationa. It was a dramatic night back good and forth competition, ending in a tie for the third year in a row. And the debate on social media started almost immediately. Critics blasting the fact that there was no winner after all of the buildup. Emily is one of them. She says America Needs to get back to having winners but kirstin doesnt have a problem with it. Emily, you first. Im on your side in this one. Well, yeah. So i mean, look at this. We have to congratulate the students. Theyre inincredibly gel generals but what kind of messages to this send . The first thing i thought when saw the protests at the university of missouri and Cal State University you can make a direct connection between what we were taught when we were kids that our feelings trump reality and the sting of defeat is not as important as our feelings and what is happening on college camp puts right now, its having an impact on our see site. Kirsten you were miss america 2008. Would you have been cool with a tie back then . Definitely not. And for the record, just want to say, charles and emily, complete i agree with you philosophically. Drew up with as a ballet daners and instead in the hard work and discipline it but in this case, scripps now two years in a row had a tie and this year they really implemented a series of steps, throwing out the rules of challenge words at the expend going from greek and last continuebased words to words with african bases and scan nave scan navan and cooperate stump the kids. We should be celebrating the fact we have such amazing talent here. And we they went from thousands of students to 280 maded to washington, down to two. So this is far from giving every kid a trophy. There were literally thousands of losers and they couldnt stump these two guys. I think we should be applauding then. Maybe next year well have don king make up a few words. Emily, they are competitive. They have tutors. They have german toolers, they study day and night for this thing, and i think that these two kids listen. They were okay with it but i think that is probably how cuckoo two kids fight this hard, study this long, prepare this deeply and be told its okay. Someone should have won this thing. If you have a great second place trophy thats fine but i think they should have gone on until there was a winner. Doesnt it almost cheapen it . You have to tie and you put in years of work. If anyone is equipped to deal with the sting of failure its these kids. Theyre 11 and 13. While they might be okay with it now i have to imagine in the future theyre going to wish they were able to actually take it home. Kirsten you talked about the 11,000 other kids. We have in this country more and more where the participation trophy is the thing you give out and im sensing a ground swell of parents who are saying i dont want my kid to have a participation trophy. Absolutely. And its even going further than that. Competition just generally is frowned upon and looked down upon in favor of collaboration, which collaboration is great, but if you dont instill competitive skills how will you start your own business and compete for Venture Capital funds and compete to get a job to even have enough money to move out of your parents p house and get your own apartment . Competition built the country and i also think that being humble and having good character in the face of losing and in the face of failure is something that kids need to learn. If theyre not going to get that theyll have a sorry life ahead of them. Emily, on that note, on that note, we look at a country that is just sort of stuck in neutral, and we also look at i dont know. Dont like to diz millenials pup we they come for jobs interview a lot of them think they get the gold watch on the first day of work, not the last day. Everything is skewed to the point where maybe they need a bigger kick and more losing on the way up. Absolutely. I work with young people every day. I can tell youve this is what were seeing. Were seeing rutses in these incredible protests on College Campuses which are ridiculous. Oberlin college, the students are lobbying professors to take away ds and fs so teaching children that its great to eliminate that sting of failure put were encouraging them to go out in the world and make so it the world doesnt even validate failure anymore. Its kind of troubling, and i hope we can do something to push back against that trend. I dont think you ever become a real winner until you learn how to lose. To your point, kirsten, agreesly.

The tsa scrambling to reduce the wait times as holiday travels swarm the nations airports. Mike tobin is at ohare international. Mike . Reporter i tell you, charles, as you look at the line this is as busy as its been all day long. So the big travel mageddon never materialized and its because the tsa was ready. They dedicated 768 staffers to the big travel hub, chicago, new york, atlanta, as well. And in addition to that here in chicago, some 150 parttime staffers have been converted to fulltime staff. Tsa is going back to congress and asking if they can have an additional 24 million to convert 2700 staffers to fulltime. That wont happen until the middle of june. So you have a big travel summer coming this way. Travel is up seven percent and expected to increase another four , into record territory. You have the volume of travel that is causing so much of the backup, you have the decreased staff. Tsa is talking about adding staff but still at a fiveyear low, and in addition to that one thing you should be able to see plainly here in line, particularly as people stack up in front of line, everyone is carrying on bags. Thats because no one wants to pay the baggage fee and people dont have confidence the bags with arrive at the destination. That slows up the tsa screening particularly when people come through with the bags and prohibited items inside. The airlines are tribe to resident. Southwest called in an all hands on deck situation, southwests, jetblue, american, delta, all dedicating staff to help the tsa screeners so they can manage the little tasks like sorting the bins and the screeners can dedicate themselves to the business of screening parentings before the get on the plane. The tsa says they have a simple solution to long lines. All they need is more money. California republican congressman darryl issa says privatize is. Representative ice sacker privatize the tsa. I happen tie agree with youve but a lot of people push back on the notion. Well, first of all, because this is a veterans Holiday Weekend i thought it would be appropriate to let you know where we were. And with that dispensed with, i want to bring the point up that america already has these Public Private operations, including san francisco, so this is not about creating something new. Two years ago, congressman micah had the laws changed that had been around since the creation of tsa that said tsa may allow these private operations. He had to change the shall. But what happened was the tsa took more than two years to decide what the rules would be for applications, and theyre continuing to slowroll and stonewall the process of allowing cities and port distributions to moder modernize systems by privatizing, and repeated studies, the independent watch dog organization, gao, shows the private airports such as san francisco, actually have a Better Success rate in catching prohibited items, and of course shorter lines. I can hear the music. Can feeling the electricity there. Like any trump event. And i think youre going to be speaking there later on. We got news across the wire that donald trump decided not debate Bernie Sanders, although earlier told he seemed to be enthusiastic about it. What is going on there . I think donald trump would love to raise 10 million for veterans, for charity, and in fact have an opportunity to contrast Bernie Sanders openly leftist views with his, particularly since Hillary Clinton has continued to potentially embrace Bernie Sanders and his socialist agenda. So im still hopeful that it will happen. Think it would be a great opportunity for america to see that were at a crossroads. We can go to the left like venezuela and have failure, or we can reinvigorate our economy and have the kind of success we had during the reagan years. It is a decision time and hopefully that would be an opportunity for america to into us. Above we go why do you think so many americans, even with the sight ofs and the long and miserable track regards of socialism have been attracted to Bernie Sanders so far . First of all the young people attracted to Bernie Sanders says a lot about how Hillary Clinton cannot invigorate the next generation of voters, but also quite frankly, college debt has been a big factor. Rather than Bernie Sanders admitting that the cost of College Tuition has gone faster and higher than its should he simply says we need to get it for free. You know what . It was government subsidies that allowed universities to increase their tuitions far faster than they should have, allowed them not to in fact innovate efficiency, and if you go down Bernie Sanders road what you end up with is a huge entitlement well versus rereform and education. Representative issa, going e youre going to have a good time there have fun, buddy. Well talk to you again soon. All right. Thank you. No outright apology from the head of the va for comparing wait times in lines to disney, as we head to memorial day weekend, what one of americas bravest veterans is now saying. Then smash it into a tree. Your Insurance Company raises your rates. Maybe you shouldve done more research on them. For drivers with accident forgiveness, Liberty Mutual wont raise your rates due to your first accident. Liberty mutual insurance. Heading into this memorial day weekend a true American Hero is here. You may know him for winning the trophy on dancing with the stars but as neil knows theres much more to j. R. Martinez. Talk about a hero, talk about the multiple operations, the things he has had to endure. I understand hes a pretty good dancer and a great actor and now back at college. I cant keep up with this guy. Good to see you. Good to see you. We have a longlasting relationship. We do. 12 years. First time i came on your show. All the pain and suffering you have endured, all of the operations and the skin grafts and all. Just to remind people who dont know your story, what happened to you . So i was in the United States army, infantry and the 101st 101st out of fort campbell, kentucky and i was in iraq in march 2003 during the initial invasion and on the 5th of april i was humvee when the front left tire ran over a roadside bomb. Sustained burns to over 34 of my body. I had multiple surgeries, spent almost three years in the hospital in san antonio, texas, recovering. But during that time frame when you and i met very early on in that Recovery Process i found purpose again. I found my ability to continue to serve and what that was was essentially using my Second Opportunity at life to ultimately help people that are still within their first opportunity, and part of those individuals i was helping what the veterans and their families and i became a very big advocate and i thank you so much for in those days you gave me so much time on your show to just you didnt take my advice, act like a victim. Remember, i said, act like a victim. You refused. You wouldnt allow me to do that. Yes, i would. What are your thoughts when the va secretary kind of doubled down on it, comparing the wait time they have to wait times at disney for rides no big deal. Right. I think knowing the secretary and having done a lot of events and spent a lot of time with him in rooms and talking about what, i think it was a slip of the tongue. I dont think its something he is saying its no big deal. What he is trying to get at is trying to explain to people that sometimes at the va the culture, the attitude of the people that interact with these veterans are theyre maybe not as passionate anymore, not enthusiastic about doing what they do daily and he is trying to change the culture within a democracy. Trying to come in there and say i want people that when they finally get into the appointment and get to that physician, that theyre going to have this amazing experience. Theyre still waiting. Thats the problem. And even though its i understand how we should be attacking what he said and secretary mcdonald knows better but youre right. At the end of the of the day youre right. They are still waiting. Thats the problem. Instead of focusing so much right now im sure you know this theres a 3. 4 billion potential cut to the g. I. Bill and those are things instead of attacking each other we need focus here i am going to school, freshman in college here in new york city. But if that cut happens guess what . Me who was promised i would get that ability to go college will no longer that have hat ability if that happens. We need to start to focus and Pay Attention to these issues. Up need talk to the cabinet. Donald trump already talked about, he said already of the iraq war, big mistake, poorly handled, what a disaster. You heard all he said under President Trump it wouldnt happen. Okay. Thats great. Thats your opinion. Thats what you think. At the end of the day you and i agree, we cannot attack the individuals that men and women who have families that were willing to put themselves in that position. Do you have any regrets. Your buddies and their families. I dont have any regrets. That it was worth it. For me it was 100 worth it. For me i have to trust the leadership, the commanderinchief, no matter what side i may be on whoever is at top and people who fall under that individual. I remember that about you very early on with president bush and president obama you never took cheap shots at eritrea. Heres the mentality. Individuals watching your show we have to understand. As much as we understand one conflict or both conflict or all conflicts or maybe not disagree we have to understand if we did away with the military what happens when we face conflict who is in place to fight for us and defend us. We have to sit there and applaud the individuals who are voluntarily joining our military. Maybe we should down scale. Donald trump was talking as well, we have these troops all over the world, 60,000 in japan. 40, 50,000 in south korea. And by and large were paying information. What weather we doing there. Do you think theres a vital role for u. S. Soldiers to play in these areas where theres no conflict but just make sure there isnt one . To some extent, yes. Obviously im not as knowledgeable in the sense of the back end and everything that happens on a daytoday operation there. You actually are. But i think there is to some extent because you immediately pull out of a situation and you undo everything we worked hard do you think thats what weve done . Yes. And, you know, this is what i want people to ultimately walk away. This is what ive said to people. Lets focus on what we can control. As americans, people in this country grateful to the men and women and families that have sacrificed on a daily basis. Memorial day is coming up. 1 12 01, veterans of america are asking people to go silent at 12 01 00 p. M. Its memorial day. Remembering the men and women that made actual sacrifice. You know this, neil. Were losing so many veterans in iraq and afghanistan and other conflicts around the world. Were also losing men and women on our own battlefield which is in america. Were losing to so many to suicide. Our candidates on both sides need have a serious conversation. As much as we put so much emphasis on global terrorism we need focus on veterans issues. We need every day americans that are grateful and appreciative of service. We need to you help expand our voices and allow our stroibs heard. You took a lot of hell for us. Its the least we can do for you. When will we do those dancing lessons. When my wife saw that i said no. I think i can teach you. I dont mind when the other person is doing all the work. If im sitting there pina colada. Its not one particular form. You had to rub it in. You are studying psychology. Can you imagine the games he can play with your head. All right impeach j. R. Martinez, thank you. Not once over the many years have i had a pleasure of knowing him has he complained. That was amazing. Now to san diego where crowds speak being of amazing are gathered at a trump event and so are the protesters. Tired of working for peanuts . Well what if i told you that peanuts can work for you . Thats right. Im talking full time delivery of 7 grams of protein and 6 essential nutrients. Ever see a peanut take a day off . I dont think so. Harness the hardworking power of the peanut.

Donald trump set to speak in san diego. Will carr is there. Will, how are things looking . Reporter the best way i can describe this is organized chaos. You can see very much of a Party Atmosphere out here right now. There were probably about 1,000 protesters but the key is theyve stayed peaceful so far and San Diego PoliceDepartment Says they are completely fine with that. What they dont want is any violence. They say they will have a zero tolerance against violence out here. In other cities when things have broken out its when the rallies have ended. Hundreds of officers are out here keeping a close eye especially when theres 10,000 people inside the Convention Center start pouring out after the rally. Will carr in san diego. Looks like another amazing exciting event. Will stay safe out there. Of course at home stay safe and have fun. This is memorial day weekend. Theres a reason we get three days off. You saw an incredible interview with j. R. Martinez. Theres a lot of americans like him. God bless. Hello. Its 5 00 in new york city and this is the five. Well this is a fox news alert.
