Good evening, mike. Time square, the socalled crossroads of the world, but much of the city it is returning to Life, but it is also struggling with the problem of crime. This memorial Day Weekend, tourists are out in force under the watchful eye of the police. Its been more than a year since doubledecker buses packed with tourists were a common site in midtown manhattan. Last you the number of visitors dropped by 67 and tourists spending plunged 73 . New york hopes to reverse the trend but despite a highprofile Police Presence At Tourist attractions, it seems like this recent gunfight on the Upper West Side could scare away visitors. According to the nypd, compared to last year, murder is up 23 and shooting incidents increased 80 . Despite the crime surge, Kristi Williams from mississippi came here to celebrate her birthday with friends. We heard about lots of muggings and pickpockets and things like that so we wore over the Shoulder Bags but we never had any of those issues. Much of the violent crime is happening in low Income Minority neighborhoods but if you highprofile cases have involved tourists. May 8th At Tourist from ohio in Times Square was struck by a stray bullet. April 13th, a man visiting from kansas was wounded returning to his hotel when he got into a gunmans line of fire. We have a major Crime Problem in New York city. Everything we just talked about with the economy coming back, you know whAt The first step is . People have to feel safe. Other cities trying to woo back visitors are also seeing a surgeon crime. Year to date, murders are up 50 in austin, 127 in l. A. County and an astounding 800 in portland. And in miami, where violent crimes have decreased, a mass shooting this weekend that left two people dead and more than 20 injured and damaged the Citys Reputation as a tourist a destination. The acts of a few in our community, and i mean the acts of a few, does not represent miamidade county. Back here in New York city starting today, the Midnight Curfew on bars and restaurants is lifted but according to one prediction, it wont be until the year 2025 before Tourist Spending returns to where it was before the pandemic. Mike. Mike David Lee Miller starting us off from a crowded Times Square. David, many thanks. President biden says democracy is in peril. The president marked Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery where he paid tribute to Americas War dead. He also took the opportunity to talk about the mystic politics. Correspondent Mark Meredith reports tonight from the White House. Good evening, mark. Good evening to you.

S. Bases both abroad and right here at home.

With Arlington National Cemetery as his backdrop, the president took a turn into domestic politics issuing a direct warning about americas future. President Biden Democracy itself is in peril. Here at home and around the world. What we do now, how we honor the memory of the fallen will determine whether or not democracy will long endure. The president s were marks also got a bit personal as you reflect on the six Year Anniversary of his Son Bo who died of Brain Cancer after several years serving in iraq. President biden a hard time of the year for me and my family just like it is for so many of you. After arlington, the president and First Lady escape the confines of the White House to eat lunch at a popular d. C. French restaurant. Its the latest sign of the president s efforts to embrace postpandemic Life. On capitol hill, congress remains out of session this week but the president is expected to keep pressing lawmakers to spend trillions on an infrastructure spending bill. This is some administration officials warned time is running out to reach a bipartisan deal. By the time congress is back in washington, i think those members of congress, frankly the american people, and All Of Us in the administration, expect to have a clear direction. The White House missed its selfimposed deadline to make progress on a Per Structure by Memorial Day. Still, the key senate republicans tell Fox News they remain eager to work with the president on finding common ground. We realize this is not easy. I think we bring every day to idea on the table into negotiations to see how we can achieve this. On friday, the Labor Department is set to release the may jobs report. This could be the biggest indicator yet about where the economy is heading into the summer months. It could also have a big impact, mike, on the negotiations between the white House And Congress is the Administration Process for additional. Mike the White House is still facing serious questions to investigate how the pandemic began. Lawmakers say china must be held accountable based on the findings, right . The active the president has asked intelligence officials to come out with a report detailing whAt They have found when it comes to the Coronavirus Origins we are hearing from senator tom cotton, hes telling Fox News this could be the biggest step yet in potentially holding china accountable for the pandemic. The only sense i have is a sense of relief that we are trying to find the true origins of this virus and i think all the evidence points towards those labs in wuhan and if we find out thats the origins of this virus, then china really needs to pay. The president says he hopes to relieve the report findings publicly but it is possible Expert Save we may not get a definitive answer about how this started. Mike. Mike live on north lawn, mark, thanks. As america remembers its awarded, the threat of more conflict from a major adversary. Russia is sending a warning to the u. S. Ahead of the Bidenputin Meeting in june. Amy kellogg takes a Look at whAt That means. Russia backed its words with Action Today announcing 20 new Military Units will be deployed on russias Western Borders by The End of the year to counter nato. The move comes as moscow bows to send an array of Unpleasant Signals to the u. S. Leading up to next months Bidenputin Summit. The situation remains quite worrisome, Our Collective European undergoing an unprecedented crisis of trust. Once again very lines moving deep towards the east, essentially like trenches are built in europe. But its Russias Troop movements, 50,000 additional ones moved for a while to the border of ukraine earlier this year, that worry the west along with its crackdowns on protesters in the poisoning and imprisonment of opposition figure. All that will be on the agenda when the two leaders meet. President biden ill be meeting with President Putin in a couple weeks in geneva, making it clear that we will not we will not stand by and let him abuse those rights. Some say the time for talk about Human Rights is over, its time to lay out the costs of not changing course. Its not about asking anymore. I think thats the point because in the last month we saw putins regime being transformed very quickly, frighteningly quickly. The man some Call Europe true dictator, the president of belarus, Alexander Lukashenko has one solid ally in putin. After a commercial plan was forced to land last week, so a distant could be plucked from it, some say biden also needs to spell out the cost of keeping this friendship alive. But pending further notice, Russia And Belarus are in Fact Planning to hold joint military exercises this fall. Mike. Mike amy kellogg, thanks very much. Democrats and the Texas Legislature are doing every thing they can to block a controversial Election Reform Bill, but republican lawmakers and the governor are fighting back. Correspondent Christina Coleman has details tonight. They dont want you to know the truth on that bill. Texas democrats stage of dramatic walk out late Sunday Night blocking republicans from Passing Sweeping Voting restrictions. Acquirements apartment are present. We denied them the corn they need to pass this bill, so we killed that bill. Chris turner sparked the revolt, Organizing Members via Text Message to walk off the floor and out of the building. The last resort came hours after the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 7, republicanled legislation that supporters say is designed to ensure Election Integrity. We just want to be able to account for votes and make sure we prosecute those who abuse the process. But critics, including present Biden And House democratic leaders, are calling the bill and others like it and attempt to restrict voting rights. The president on saturday writing its part of an assault on democracy that we see far too often this year and often disproportionately targeting black and brown americans. Its wrong and unamerican. The Texas Law is shameful and republicans clearly in texas and throughout the country want to make it harder to vote and easier to steal an election. The bill would have restricted voting by mail by giving Absentee Ballots to only those who asked for them, ban the drive through and 24hour polling locations, limited early voting hours, and giving poll watchers free Movement Around Building Centers among other provisions aimed at preventing voter fraud. Greg abbott, who calls Election Integrity and Emergency Item for this legislative session, has said he will call a Special Session of the legislature to make up for this terms failure. Its a move his Lieutenant Governor welcomes. We will be back in once again the senate will get the job done. And we will help the house does the second time around. The governor is now tweeting that he might want to abandon the pay for those who abandoned their responsibilities as far as lawmakers are concerned. We havent heard back from his office yet on exactly when that Special Session might start or if the Election Reform Bill will be added to a Special Session already scheduled for later this year.

Tonight on this Memorial Day we Look at an effort to make the return from War A better experience for americas heroes. National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin tells us for many the horrors of war follow them home from the battlefield, but one marine unit were united to fight back and help Each Other. Lima company took some of the heaviest casualties during the iraq war. 23 marines killed and another 37 purple hearts, so it was constant. Michael was 19 years old in 2005 when his Reserve Unit from ohio deployed to Empire Province on the border with syria to some of the biggest Ambush Territory in iraq. 184 marines arrived together for a seven month tour. They spent all but ten days outside the wire in combat and received three silver and 11 bronze stars. Sniper fire, machine gun fire, Rpg Fire that bounces just feet away from her head and its a dud and bounces around the rooftop with you. On May 11th 6 marines were killed in a deadly Roadside Bombing just days after two others were killed as Lima Company took a break from clearinghouses. The very last house that one of our teams was clearing ended up being just a kill house. Three months later he recorded this scene from a rooftop to show his parents he was safe. He quickly became the target of an iraqi sniper. Got shot at by a sniper on tape. A Lastminute Decision by his Platoon Sergeant ordering him to switch Assault Vehicle saved his Life. Theres Nothing Assault about it, its a big large soft target. Its aluminum. Im on the vehicle, we cut 17 marines are so packed into it, sitting on about 50,000 tons of ammunition. I see marine in the open, fireball, it was a Pressure Plate ied with Hacksaw Blades and a just sliced right through the Aluminum Underbelly of this assault amphibious vehicle hitting all the fuel, all of the 50,000 runs of ammunition. 15 marines were killed into instantly. Combat was nothing compared to returning home. Thats when the struggles began and for some, thoughts of suicide. There is unfinished business, we left brothers and blood on the sand in iraq. Last year 571 service members died by suicide up 13 from the year before. Every day, 17 veterans take their lives. To address the epidemic, the Independence Fund and Va Have launched a series of reunions for the hardest Hit Combat Units and idea born At The funeral of a veteran who took his Life. 16 years after deploying to iraq, 60 marines from Lima Company reunited in nashville for operation resiliency, a weekend of activities, talk therapy, and healing. Getting back together with groups like this, rekindle, listen to other people stories and i think thats a positive experience for everyone. Many had not seen Each Other since the iraq war. They brought with them a display to honor those who were killed, including lance corporal nicholas p earley, who stepped off the vehicle that blew up on May 11th 2005 shortly after michael was told to change vehicles. It they work out together, Breaking The Ice with some morning pt, some acts throwing to relieve stress. [indiscernible]. The biggest thing for me was every stretch where i had my everyday Life was gone for the last 72 hours, it was like a reset. It felt great. They did a Service Project Painting shelters for homeless vets. This Program Kind of helps me understand about the only one because when its you you kind of think im the only one going through this but now that i realize hey, all these other marines and corpsmen are going to the same thing and it helps just coming back together and talking about it. They visited the Johnny Cash Museum where Kashs Nephew played guitar and a bugler played the national anthem along with taps for those who did not come home.

Mike we have no exclusive Evidence Tonight showing the magnitude of the growing criminal element among the outofcontrol southern Correspondent Aishah Hasnie shows us tonight from mission, texas. This picture exclusively obtained by Fox News shows a Stash House in the Border Town of roman texas, busted by Texas Department of Health And Safety Special Ops this weekend. You can see 41 men, 11 women, and three children sitting on the ground, all migrants being smuggled into the u. S. Sources tell us oftentimes cartel smugglers will keep them in Stash Houses to exploit them for more cash before finally releasing them to their families. Human trafficking means thAt The cartels have taken people somewhere in the world and made them a commodity and any time you do that, it leads to abuse. And its just the tip of the iceberg. Another image shows smugglers attempting to swim bundles of narcotics across the rio grande river. But when they see officers on the u. S. Side, they turn around and swim back to mexico with the drugs. The amount of fentanyl seized crossing the border into the u. S. Has already exceeded the total amount for all of 2020. [indiscernible]. Texas dps officers are trying to crush Cartel Activity but a source tells us their job is getting tougher because of cartel counter surveillance. We are told the cartels are sending scouts to hotels across Border Towns to figure out which agencies are here and how many bodies are on the ground. And they are also now using a Flight Tracking App that can track dps planes that should be undetectable to the naked eye. Former acting Dhs Secretary Chad wolf on Sunday Morning saying the biden administration is sending the wrong message. They need to show the migrants and the cartels and the smugglers that its not okay to continue to smuggle miners and families across the border but more importantly its to make sure theres a consequent to that behavior. Dps sources tell me these cartels are readily savvy. They adjust to whatever Law Enforcement agents are doing and right now they are pushing east where there are fewer resources. Mike very interesting, thanks very much. Multiple sources tell Fox News tonight a Government Contract is under evaluation by the department of Homeland Security Inspector general. The contract is worth millions and involves a former biden transition official. Correspondent David Spunt has the details. The department formant Security Inspector Generals Office is evaluating a nearly 87 Million contract with endeavors, a Texas Nonprofit Housing Migrants who crossed the southern border. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. The same date Joseph Biden took the dash a News Release announcing the hiring of a former Ice Official who served as a biden transition official. Not even two months after his arrival, federal records show endeavors entered into two nobid contracts with the Department Of Health And Human Services were up to 579 Million at Homeland Security for 86. 9 Million. This is a nobid contract and does should be really used in only the most extraordinary circumstances. Tom jones is with the american economy foundation, a conservativeleaning watchdog. Endeavors declined to answer specific questions about the contracts but in a statement to Fox News called him a valued leader on the Endeavors Team and a recognized expert in migrants, child, and family welfare. Immigration and customs enforcement, part of Homeland Security, declined to answer a specific questions about the scope of its contract with endeavors but wrote in part the families that come into Ice Custody will be housed in a manner consistent with legal requirements for the Safety And Wellbeing of children and their parents or guardians. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee recently wrote to health and human Services Secretary Javier Becerra over terms, concerns about the nobid contract. Hhs has not responded to our questions. Drain the swamp. Nobid contracts served as a Rallying Cry for democrats during the trump administration. He uses the office to enrich himself and his family. If you know a little bit about monster trucks, you know that one of them is called swamp thing. Thats trump. Tom jones says democrats and republicans play the nobid Contract Game and in The End, the loser is the american taxpayer. Its typical and its terrible. There is coming us and swamping us on all sides of this but we need to route that out. When reached by phone, he told me he works for endeavors but had no further comment. Mike. David spunt, thank you very much. A group of israeli political parties seeking to unseat Benjamin At Yahoo Is Negotiating Coalition agreements two days before deadline.

What we do now, what we do now, how we honor the memory of the fallen will determine whether or not democracy will long endure. Well take it for granted. Mike President Biden giving his first Commander In Chief speech on this Memorial Day, 2021. Lets bring in our panel. Mollie hemingway, Senior Editor At The federalist, harold ford, jr. , former Tennessee Congressman and ceo of Empowerment And Inclusion Capital And Steve hayes, editor of the dispatch. Panel, allstar panel for a national holiday. Steve, lets take a listen to another clip from President Biden and i want to get your thoughts. President Biden Democracy drives when the infrastructure of democracy is strong. When people have the right to vote freely and fairly inconveniently, our democracy is imperfect, and it always has been but americans of all backgrounds, races, greats, genders, identities, sexual orientations, have long spilled their blood to defend our democracy. The diversity of our country and of our Armed Services is and always has been an incredible strength. President biden steve, did he sound like Commander In Chief there are did he sound like he was speaking to his base . You know, a little bit of both. If you Look back, they use this theme frequently, basically we need to live up to the sacrifices thAt Those who are fallen and came before us have made and i think thAt Theme was prominent throughout Joe Bidens speech. Obviously what he was doing he was speaking to the fights over voting right now and clearly made a case that will appeal to his face i think framed in the broader linkage of traditional Memorial Day speech is. Mike i spoke with a republican congressman who started early in his career as united states marine. Here are his thoughts, congressman Mike Bost on Memorial Day. Its so much more than just a three day long weekend. Youve got to remember thAt The Gold Star moms on the Gold Star dads, the spouses of those people that have fallen, who have given the ultimate sacrifice, thats whAt This weekend is about and thats what we need to remember. Mike mollie, your thoughts on the president s Speech Today and the contrast there with the republican congressman. Actually think President Bidens speech did deal with some of that. When he talked about the importance of living up to the sacrifice the people have made in talking even about democracy being in peril. I thought it was interesting. Its true that its in peril both here and abroad and i think its really incumbent upon people to think through why that is. We have a real crisis of institutions globally and in this country or people who were charged with handling a lot of really important, serious issues mismanaged those and it has led to a breakdown in trust with the people and thats not a good situation, weather was about to big to fail and the financial crisis, you know, years ago, the situation At The border, which biden right now is mismanaging, which is leading to a crisis of confidence with people, or also without we have handled wars in recent decades. If not the job of our military to build democracy abroad. We had a period of time where we thought that was the job of the military. We need to be really clear on what it is okay to ask people to sacrifice their lives for this country im a when it is in our national interest and how we prosecute those wars, making sure that we do it wisely and that we have clear objectives and that when we finish those objectives, when we get people home, we need to take the sacrifice that people make very seriously and not thinking smartly about our war strategy, making sure that our interests are focused on and that we are thinking about where to prosecute those interests is its not good and that leads to a breakdown of trust with the american people. Mike harold, your thoughts on President Bidens first Memorial Day is Commander In Chief . Absolute. I agree with a lot thats been said. I do think in fairness to present a biden, who ive traveled with when he was a u. S. Senator, to the Middle East on multiple occasions, his declarations of our Nations Courage and Purpose And Steadfastness in the face of challenge and i thought the way he framed democracy versus autocracy, he in many ways is not only speaking to americans, asking us to honor the fallen and brave in our country who have sacrificed for our freedoms, i think he called us all children of sacrifice, he was speaking to a global community as well and laying out, i thought, in a very interesting and i hope a way that connected with communities of people around the globe who live under autocracy. In many ways im reminded a little bit of the speech that President George W. Bush gave in one of his inaugural addresses where he laid out the notion of Freedom And Democracy and the challenge we face around the globe. I thought this was the 4. 0 version of it with Joe Biden. In addition, i think theres No Doubt there was a little political edge to it and as steve said, probably not too untraditional for a president to lay out a little bit of his message, we will one day say her, but his message in why this day is so important and why this stands out amongst american holidays. Mike harold, i want to follow up as the former elected official on the panel, a tweet on saturday from Vice President Kamala Harris where she says enjoy the long weekend. So it seems to me thAt That may have been an unforced error on her Part And Staff too . You know, i think she found herself in the last day or two maybe the last three days, her and her husband celebrating what we have come to benefit from, we as a nation, from our fallen brave heroes. I think she probably would want to back if she could get it back i think if you Look at her record in her heart i dont think is any question of her understanding of the importance of the day and the importance of whAt This means to our freedoms and liberty as we know it and i thought President Biden, again, he is the leader, hes the Commander In Chief and hes whose words i think resonate most with americans.

We are ready to talk with the united states. We have no off limit topics. We will discuss everything we deem necessary and we will be ready to answer the questions thAt The american side raises. To, including Human Rights. Mike a little tough talk before than anticipated Bidenputin Summit in geneva and we are back with our panel. Mollie, steve, and harold. Mollie, does this sound a little cold waresque . I hope not. We had some confusion with the biden administration. Without a mixture of aggression and supplication, a horrible start to the administration when russia pulled their ambassador to the u. S. I think thats the first time it happened in an extremely long time, President Biden had called putin a killer. It was not a very diplomatic way to deal with the problems. On the other hand, we seem to be doing things very helpful to russia, we had biden kill our Pipeline And Energy independence, very important. And also dropping the sanctions we had against russians in the pipeline they are building in germany. Theres an argument to be said thAt That pipeline is nearly done in the sanctions wouldnt serve a Purpose But Trump was certainly more aggressive with russia than bidens being. Its good thAt These people are talking. We hope thAt Theres a good chAt ThAt They have and thAt They have good relations because there are, frankly, much bigger problems elsewhere in the globe and so its not good to be distracted by problems with russia. Out if they are real problems. Mike steve, your thoughts on the Back And Forth between the u. S. And russian sides ahead of the summit . Yeah, there shouldnt be a summit. Its a mistake to engage with Blood And Reboot when hes engaged in this kind of provocative behavior. You Look at what he did in the aftermath of the kidnapping, the statesponsored terrorism that belarus was involved in, getting Alexander Lukashenko back and agreeing to divert e. U. Flights on behalf of belarus. This follows a pattern of provocation from Vladimir Putin that dates back a long time and is part of a broader effort by Vladimir Putin to consolidate power in the region. Its a i think a significantly provocative Act And Series of acts and one would hope thAt The biden administration would meet that by saying no, this is the time to isolate russia. We dont want to be engaging in russia providing Vladimir Putin a platform to further provoke, which is what i expect he will do in the context of the summit. It gives him more power than he deserves At This point. Mike harold, as a former elected official what are your thoughts At This stage and what are your concerns going into the summit . A lot of whats been said our concerns, but they also form the foundation for some not optimism, but some constructive understanding of whAt This it administration might be trying to accomplish. Im a believer that sitting down never hurts unless its just completely out of the round. I dont think were quite there yet. I think if you Look back a few years ago when former President Trump, who i thought was tough with china and russia, but there was a serious moment when he decided former President Trump to doubt our own intelligence and except at least publicly the word of Vladimir Putin. This president is not doing that. I hope he reiterates this At This summit. I hope it doesnt turn out to be a mistake, as steve has laid out. I think its the right thing to do At The right time and theres no president , i might add, in my Lifetime, and 51 years old, who brings to the presidency more experience in foreign Policy And Intelligence dennis president. Im sure hes thought through it and i imagine that he and his team have a plan. Mike all right, panel, time now for tomorrows headlines tonight. Mollie, do you want to lead us off . Sure. I would just like to point out, experience does not necessarily indicate wisdom in Foreign Policy. Biden has spent a lot of time in Foreign Policy but has a lot of mistakes to show for it. My headline for tomorrow. We are still having problems in portland with liberal violence going on in that city now for a year and this week and a mob, a violent mob, attacked someone they believed to be [indiscernible], its unclear if it was him, a reporter who has covered the nt for movement and been critical of it and actually besieged a hotel there, its a really big problem we need to get our hands on. Mike steve. Nba cracks down on unruly fans. I think the nba needs to crack down. Youve seen fans in peril, players in the last few days, it can continue. Mike harold. I agree with steve. We are free because they are brave, set President Biden. I hope all americans take thAt To heart and help all politicians do as well. Mike wellsaid. Thank you, panel.

For two days theres been an alarm going off and its gotten louder now, so its like starting to scare my animals. In north georgia, Union County Fire and rescue has had to tell people to stop calling 911 over the sound of cicadas, who after 17 years underground have crawled out of their holes to cross 15 u. S. States to find a mate. There is no alarm because its the cicadas and theyre out there wanting to make love, some once they are up in their treason wherever they do their thing, when they get enough of them out there and they get excited, that sound just gets louder and louder and more intense. The cicadas dont sting or bite but their noise tops 105 Decibels Day and night. The corpses pile up. The smell when they pass away, it starts to smell funny. Around the trees you get a stink.

Thank you for joining me on this blessed Memorial Day. When we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of this country. We all should honor those Men And Women who gave all in her defense as Ronald Reagan said, it is in a way an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination pays a trick. We see these soldiers in our minds, we see them
