wasn t going to school. but was getting student loans so apparently this is a tactic that s been used by other jihadists in europe. apply for the student loans. say you are a student. get the cash from the government and use it to fly to libya back and forth because otherwise he wouldn t have the money to do so. this is how he funded his terror plot and probably a technique and a tactic others used in a way that you could start to track down some of these terrorists. clayton: we learned he called his brother about 15 minutes before the attack and tracking his cell phone information and be able to see who he was talking to. pete: this is why the family is so important. ultimately somebody knows something and it s getting you know president trump said is right in saudi arabia. drive them out. drive them out. you have got to have family members and community members willing to call out folks when they descend into even more radical perspectives. clayton: what s important to think this h
the house because of the stuff that is he privy to. take a listen. it can happen almost here any time. i was telling steve on the way in here, if he knew what i know about terrorism, i would never leave the house in the morning. ainsley: really? yeah. good news we have the finest men and women in uniform, out of uniform. police officers, local law enforcement, new york city cops protecting us. abby: that s a message that i think we need to hear today that is so important. we can sit here and live in fear. you think about how many attacks have probably been stopped before actually happening, even since 9/11. we are clearly surrounded by incredible people that are out as you said, clayton, working their hearts out to make sure this doesn t happen. a lot of lives have probably been saved because of this. pete: probably definitely been saved. ongoing investigations into isis collaboration in all 50 states in the united states. my home state the city of minnesota has had serious problem
clayton: dave sends this picture of front yard display where he has laid 5,000 flags and 300 crosses this year for memorial day. pete: wow, that is above and beyond. keep sending in your photos on this memorial day weekend. abby: @ proud american; or send it to clayton s email. clayton: my secretary will handle it for you. speaking of proud americans dan bongino secret service agent and friend of the show is joining us this morning. nice to see you this morning, dan. good to be hire. nice to see you, too. clayton: we have a bombshell story this morning. glad you are here. the washington post has yet another bombshell story and the russian connection, this time now, with jared kushner, that person of interest, using unnamed government officials as his new report states that president trump is set to fight back what is he building war room to combat this
with moscow. there is no wrongdoing here. jared kushner is not the focus of the investigation. it is common. abby: you wonder as you mentioned clayton about the timing. why we are just hearing about it today. another party of that piece. the post was first alerted in mid december about the meeting among other things that kushner had talked to him. we are hearing it 7 p.m. as the president is headed home from this trip. something wrong about 5:00 p.m., 6 p.m. leaks that go out for the weekend. clayton: on the collusion question, this is the separate issue about setting up back channel. collusion question still at the heart of all of this scandal, righting? why if they were colluding they would set up a channel in december, after the election, months ahead of time was the election. so bret baier raises an interesting question. abby: the timing of all of that. pete: the other question is why should we believe it because russia, as the
big shakeup in his administration. you have been talking about maybe coming on board to help him again. is that the move forward? is that how he can keep his momentum going? getting the right people around you? well, it s always important to have the best team possible around you. and what i think you see is that as you know this administration has been fairly slow in filling out some of those presidential appointments and that is what has allowed the deep state and particularly the intelligence community to continue to leak information. we saw a story last week that three staffers have been identified as leaking classified information. those people should be removed immediately. and they should be loyal lists put in place. i think in order for this president to be successful you have to grow the team around him. that means bringing additional people in. bringing those people in part of the campaign and have had long standing personal relationships with the press so they are moving h
