Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that that is changing. One marine told us that a military History Training Session was changed with police brutally, White Privilege and systemic racism. A member of the special Operations Training said the u. S. Special Operations Community is racist. I want to ask a few simple and vital questions. Mr. Secretary, do you believe that our military is a fundamentally racist organization . Martha so is the United States military becoming woke too . And what is the impact of that on our national defense . Senator cotton joins me in just a moment. First, lucas tomlinson. Martha, senator cotton, a former Army Infantry officers says hes received letters about awoke military. Were Hearing Reports of plummeting morale, growing mistrust between the races and sexes where none exists six months and an unexpected retirements and separations based on the trainings alone. Again, these are not my words. These are the words of your own troops. A staggering 71 of young people are ineligible to join the Military Due to obesity, no high School Diploma or having a criminal report. Senator Tommy Tubberville said he had a 750 BillionDefense Budget is worthless if you dont have the right people on the team. If a draft was held today a fraction would qualify. Only 450,000 of those 35 Million are eligible to be in the military. Thats not enough. Thats not enough. We cant build a Killing Machine which is what our military is. You can say anything else. We have to kill the enemy when they come at us. Senator austin gave a full throated defense of todays military. I dont want our forces or anybody else to be confused. Its the most lethal organization on the face of the planet and will remain so and remain the most cohesive organization on the face of the planet. Defense secretary Lloyd Austin upheld a Trump Era Ban on displaying the pride flag. Martha . Lucas tomlinson, thank you. Senator Tom Cottin of arkansas joins me now. I think this is unnerving. One of the things that we all know, those of us that havent served about the military, its the great equalizer. You get a crew cut, a uniform. Everybody is the same because youre joined together for one purpose. What happens to our military when we teach them and divide them youre in this category, youre in that category and treating them differently based on that . Martha, the anecdotes i read are alarming. Theyre the tip of the iceberg. I heard from my old friends still in the army about the Training 60ss and crt and some races are inherently oppressive or privileged months ago when Congressman Crenshaw and i put out a general request for any whistleblowers, that weve been inundated with such examples what will happen if we allow this training to continue at our front line units, theyll be growing mistrust between the races and the sexes, very little existed six months ago. That will be damaged for Morale And Unit cohesion should our troops need to go to battle. Its a opportunity cost. Every minute, every hour in frontline units or the Service Academies or professional Military Courses on things like critical Race Theory is a time that couldnt be dedicated to Military History or operational Excellence Or Training in the field. Those are real and tangible costs that our troops will be the ones to bear should they go to war not sufficiently prepared because we wasted so much time on this nonsense. Martha honestly, its terrifying. You think about it in schools and you lose out on Math And History and science. And once all of this Diversity Training and these things, theyre away from their mission. When the United States military starts to deviate from its sole mission and you heard them say were the most lethal force in the world. Do you agree with that statement still . Martha, i think you raise a great point. Cocacola want to go full woke and detract from making sugary drinks, thats one thing. For our military to spend its time teaching these insidious concepts to young troops, some as young as 18 years old outs of high school, it does distract from lethality and readiness. We can still be the worlds most lethal Fighting Force but we owe it to the young troops to ensure that every minute of every day is dedicated to preparing them to fight and win our nations wars hopefully because well deter enemies from starting wars but should we have to send them in Harms Way that theyre fully prepared, that they trust the Man And Woman to the right and left, front and rear irrespective of Race And Fight and if necessary die for them. Martha theres places where your individualism is really important and theres places where its important to leave that behind nor the cause of the for the greater cause. Thats what the military has always been all about. Think about this discussion. I wonder what china thinks when they look at were doing and the forces at work and our military and how upset some of these young men and women are when they get indoctrinated. China must be loving this. This is a story that china it would be so thrilled to witness. Listen to this woman that grew up in china. What she sees as the similarities. Watch this. The similarities are terrifying. They use the same ideology and same methodology, even the same vocabulary and the same goal. The ideology is cultural marxism. We were divided in to groups as oppressor and oppressed. Here we use race. There they use class. Martha its chilling listening to her last night, senator. Yeah, its like Struggle Sessions out of the cultural revolution in communist china. One of the Air Force officers from whom we heard said that if China Or Russia wanted to sow discord and division, this is the number one thing that they would do, promote these ideas. Thats why i pressed Secretary Austin on it. I was disappointed at first. He couldnt give yes or no answers to is our military racist. Im glad he said that if any trooper out there has this insidious concept trained, they should report it up the chain of command or to our Inspector General or to our office. Martha senator cotton, thanks very much. We appreciate it, senator. Thank you. Martha joined by pete hegseth, co host of Fox And Friends weekend. I appreciate you being here today to talk about this. When we when i spoke with senator cotton, i thought about the fact that president obama, the former president was asked about this in an interview recently about crt. He basically said this is not a big deal. I dont understand why so many folks on the right are so focused on this. Theyre kind of getting dragged down a rabbit hole. Hes a former commanderinchief, of course, of the military. What do you think about that and what do you think what damage how would you describe the damage this is doing to our forces . Insidious, incredibly damaging. Captain Tom Cotton is precisely right. He served in Iraq And Afghanistan as well. When i was in guantanamo bay, my half of my platoon was hispanic. In iraq, my Platoon Sergeant was hispanic. My Battalion Commander was black. None of it mattered. All that mattered is that we shared a mission and we believe in each other, the man on the right and the man on your left. Bore i wore makeup and had my hear long, i had a high and taught and had camo face paint. When you tear down the barrier by creating skepticism, you create doubt and you waste time. Tom cotton is right. You waste time on theories that divide us. You mention china. Youre exactly right. In fact, there was a Babylon Bee satire. The communist chinese might as well be training their troops to yell the incorrect pronounces as they charge them. What do we do when were mislabelled . You want to laugh but its scary. We must be the most lethal right now. The big question what will it look like in five, ten, 15 years when you have a generation of troops that have been thought to think of the world through a marxistic lens. Obama started it. This is an Obama Thing that translated into biden. Youre right. Martha i also think theres a January 6 component to this. There was a suggestion that there was a lot of military involved. I looked up today. There were about four or five people that had a Military Tie and one was active. Theres a process in play for that person. You think that accelerated that notion . Its their rationale, their justification. Its already illegal to be a white supremacist in the military. Theyll kick you out. General austin should have said, no, the military is not systemic racist. Theres a Working Group, which we covered a little bit, the extremism Working Group headed by former Army Officer named bishop garrison. Theyre purging the ranks of the military of people based on political ideology based on racism. Its happening right now under Lloyd Austin and its scary. Martha it is. Pete hegseth, thank you. Great to see you today. Appreciate it. Thank you, martha.

Martha an extraordinary move for a unified democrat party, a deep divide between the leadership and the socalled squad that has boiled over after congresswoman Ilhan Omar grouped israel and the United States with hamas and the taliban. You can see her tweet there. Speaker pelosi was just asked Point Blank what she thinks about this. Heres what she said. Should any further action be taken against Congresswoman Omar for her comments . I dont. I think she clarified her remarks, and that was we accepted that. Martha fellow squad members circling the Wagons Tweeting Leadership should be ashamed. Aoc says shes sick and tired of her own Caucus Attitude toward omar. This is not a rift that the democrats need. The majority is slim and the top of the party knows that abandoning israel is not a positive strategy. That may be why the White House is silent on this issue. Mike huckabee is a former president ial candidate and a longtime supporter of israel president and richard fowler, Fox News contributor. Thanks for being here. Mr. Huckabee, you heard the speakers words. It was clear she didnt want to spend too much time on this subject. She doesnt. Im sure that i understand why. Its very divisive in her party. They have come forward to say that its absurd to whoever tried to compare the United States of America And Israel with the taliban and hamas. Our own State Department for heavens sakes calls hamas a terrorist group. Weve been fighting the taliban for 20 years in afghanistan. To somehow equate them with who we are as an american country and who the israelis are is disgusting. So yes, theres got to be pushback and frankly the White House ought to be weighing in on this instead of being silent. My old Speech Teacher used to tell me, the silence of the White House is a little deafening right now. They need to speak up and stand up and tell these folks to not equate the United States and israel with the taliban and hamas. Martha so governor, she clarified her statement this way. She said the conversation was about Account Ability for specific incidents regarding those icc cases, the International Criminal Court. Not a Morale Comparison with hamas and taliban and israel. I was no way equating Terrorist Organizations with democratic countries. Richard, that clarification comes after her tweet which belies the explanation in a lot of ways. She grouply grouped them together in that tweet. What are your thoughts on this . Thanks for having me, martha. Let me be clear. Each and every day, members of congresses, democrats or republican call our Military Leaders and leaders from the State Department down to the capitol to ask them questions about military missions, ask about civilian casualties on military missions. In this particular hearing, they asked the Secretary Of State about the icc, International Criminal Court and what was the United States objections to it. Ilhan, i agree with what she said . No. In her clarifying statement, she makes it clear she was talking about specific cases in front of the icc and not generally comparing Terrorist Organizations with democratically run countries. We have to understand that did delineation of that. Thats what Nancy Pelosi said in the statement. The important thing to remember is its patriotic to defense. Its patriotic to call americas actions around the world into question. Thats what congress people do every single day of the year. Martha by the same token, everybody has the right to express their own outrage if they think that its a viewpoint that doesnt align with americas missions and who we are. Governor, you know, in terms of the pure politics of this, is this revealing, a divide in the party . Theyre trying to get together on infrastructure, racing taxes. They have a tough 2022 landscape ahead of he them. How much does this hurt . It hurts a lot. The other squad says shes attacked because shes a muslim woman of color. Rasheeda talib says she doesnt have more Free Speech. Shes got more Free Speech on twitter than Donald Trump did, the former president. She should be banned if Jack Dorsey is going to be consistent but theyre not. Martha richard, final word. Why bring up why make an attack on her blackness or the fact that she has a muslim background, was born there . Look, i think Thats Something that we can bring into question. With that being said, the fundamentals when it comes to the issues for the democratic party are sound. When it comes to ensuring we have infrastructure, the democratic party will vote on that. When it comes to make sure we have a voting rights act, the democratic party will vote the same on that when it comes to those issues, the democratic party and the caucus will be sound. Martha well leave it there. Thanks very much. Richard and governor huckabee, great to see you both. Still ahead, we have Victor Davis Hanson and chinas angry Response Today to the growing credibility of the theory that it leaked covid19 from the lab. When we come back. Dont miss it. This is worth.

Com Martha China now lashing out as leaders from the worlds seven most powerful economies meet in england with a plan to address Chinas Role in the Covid19 Pandemic and they call for an unfetterred investigation into the virus origins. Rich edson reports. Theres more pressure on Chinas Government to allow an independent investigation to how this pandemic began. Anthony blinken spoke this morning with chinas top diplomat. Blinken pushed a transparent study into china in covids origins. China these said its absurd. In england, the g7 nations will request the World Health Organization lead a new investigation into the origins of covid19. Thats according to bloomberg. Next week, leaders from the United States and European Union will meet in brussels. Reuters said we call for progress on a transparent, evidencebased and Expert Led who phase 2 study on the origins of covid19 that is free from interference as more World Leaders call for an independent investigation. The world has the right to know exactly what happened in order to be able to learn lessons. We support all the efforts in order to make the transparency and to know the truth. Earlier this year, a World Health Organization team partnered with the chinese government called for an investigation to how the pandemic began. Officials said that they were denied access and the government is still withholding information. Chinese officials refuse to allow a follow up investigation. The biden administration has requested the Intelligence Community look into all of this with two theories in mind. One that this occurred naturally and two that the pandemic escaped from the lab in wuhan. Martha . Rich, thanks very much. Rich edson. Lets bring in jerry baker, editor at large. Author of the piece in the Wall Street Journal on the opinion page, Americas Covid Group think functioned like chinas representation. Jerry, great to have you with us. First after, how likely is it that theres this concerted efforts on the part of the g7 nations to drill down and make sure that china opened up their doors for this investigation . On a scale of 110 of likelihood, i say down about 1, maybe zero. The problem is look, martha, this points of a larger problem in the western alliance. Joe biden is going around the world, there in england saying america is back. The problem is hes certainly he speaks in a more diplomatic way, nicer to the allies that trump was. The problem is the differences between the United States on the one hand to some Extent And Britain and the European Countries and canada on the other hand, they are stark especially when it comes to dealing with china. The European Countries dont want to rock the boat. Theyre dependent on china for their economic performance. Germany is heavily dependent on the chinese markets for experts. They are enormously tiedn with china. They dont really want to confront china. So the likelihood theres nice words, china has to be transparent but they wont do anything that would jeopardize the relationship of the economic importance of the relationship that they have with china. Martha No Doubt. You talk about the group think on Americas Part between corporations and Social Media and all of it that squashed any discussion that this might have come out of the lab. Heres Senator Lindsey Graham taking it a step further. Watch this. Its a quote. Lets put it up. Ill read it to you. He says theres No Doubt in my mind that the combination of prominent scientists coming out strongly against the Lab Leak Theory along with officials from the State Department shutting down additional inquiries ended up being two of the most consequential events of the 2020 election cycle. What do you think about that . No doubt. Hes right. I think again, what i argued in my piece this week is that in China China has a repressive Communist Regime that shuts down Debate And Dissent and any embarrassing information that may come out that would damage the regime. In this country, we have a free press, a free society, scientists are free to say what they want and were supposed to do that. But actually, the scientists and the journalists in this country have behaved in a way that has been censoring. They suppressed that covid Lab Leak Theory from the start and they without any kind of political pressure on themselves, theyre the ones along with the big Tech Companies that support the stories suppressing the truth. Its a disturbing situation in a free country we have a Media And Establishment determined to silence people. Martha its total lack of journalistic curiosity and a real rush to make assessments at a point where nobody had any Idea Or Evidence of where this came from, this virus. Its stunning. Jerry, thank you. Always good to see you. Jerry baker on fox business network. After her noshow at the border, the Vice President s message continues to spiral with a new difficult moment.

This one with a reporter from univision when asked when she will fulfill her Border Czar duties by actually going there. Ive said im going to the border. When are you going to the border, Vice President . Administration has asked im not finished. Ive said im going to the border. There is a 674 surge in Border Apprehensions this may over last may. The highest numbers weve seen in 20 years. Take a good look at the numbers. Its incredible whats going on. Victor Davis Hansen is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and the author of the case for trump. Great to have you with us. Its surprising at this point that shes not come up with a better answer because its going to keep coming, victor, until she decides to surprise everybody but showing up at the border. Yeah, i think she thinks its a Loselose Situation and the worst scenario is going down to the border, martha. She might encounter real journalists and somebody might ask her you were eloquent in your condemnation of cages. What about that overcrowded Detention Center with children . You mentioned unaccompanied children and teens. How about that person over there . Your administration is pushing vaccinations on people below the age of 12 or who have already had antibodies that have some risk. How about these people there . Can i ask if theyre vaccinated . Theres a lot of embarrassing questions when you let in A Million people. I dont think she wants to go down there. The larger question is why would she put in that position that losing position . And who is asking her these questions . Theyre getting leaks from the administration around biden, his staffer that its okay to double down on her and to leak that she was not impressive. I think they thought for a while this Joe Biden might have cognitive issues and that she was Waiting In The Wings and theyre going to dispel that and tell america that Joe Biden may have cognitive issues but hes experienced and shes not. So a lot of this is coming from her staff. Its cruel in a way. Because Kamala Harris grew up in affluence. Her parents are ph. D. S. She navigated politics in california where it was a cannonization of an ord border. Thats what destroyed the republican party, thats what ensured youll never have a ronald reagan, Pete Wilson again in that state. So she just assumed that open borders were sort of a bill of rights and that shes not aware of how controversial that is to the largest american people. She doesnt know much about the issue. Why she was tasked with that im cynical but i expect the next task will be something like sender to the Middle East or explain critical Race Theory to the United States. These will be again Loselose Situations for her. Martha the picture that you paint is not one of a cozy relationship between the president and the Vice President s team. Well see where that goes. I want to ask you a question about the g7 meeting. I thought this was an interesting comments by boris johnson, the prime minister of the u. K. Talking about green aspirations and his vision for the world now that covid is receding. Listen to this. Were building back better together. Building back greener. Building back fairer. Building back more equal. A more gender neutral perhaps more feminine way. Martha hes calling for a more gender neutral world and perhaps a more feminine world. Im not sure how all of those things line up together. What do you say about that . I think theyre making the necessary adjustments. I think this great Reset Mentality is now they feel possible with the biden administration. Theyre all competing and rushing in to say were for gender neutral pronouns and green new deal and were going to tax all the corporations 15 . Were going to have a globalized elite. Sort of a reset idea. The irony very quickly is, martha, maybe thats good, but they have always had this relationship where the United States was their defense of last resort. They better be careful what they wish for. If they get a neutralized United States, they might rue it when theyre in trouble. Martha yeah. Somewhere Winston Churchill is probably rolling around with that comment. Thanks very much, victor. Good to see you. Thank you. Martha thanks nor being here. So a group of senators managed to get together and they hammered out a budget and a plan to fix the Nations Infrastructure after the Senator Capito said they were done negotiating.

Exploring the world in comfort. Once again. Martha so days after president Bidens Infrastructure negotiations with senate republicans collapsed, ten senators, republicans and democrats, came up with their own deal that they say gets the job done with no tax hikes. My next guest is one of them. Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of louisiana. Senator, good to have you with us. This is about a 974 Billion deal and focuses on physical infrastructure. There was a time when something like this would check boxes on both sides and put a bow on it and gotten it done. Will that happen this time . I sure hope so. A lot of it depends on how we pay for it. We feel like we have reasonable payfors. To your point, if i can get bridges in louisiana that cross the Mississippi River and Connect Shreveport and lafayette, im doing my job and i hope we can get this across. Martha so give us a quick example of your payfors. We know the White House is very determined to raise taxes to pay for this. Yeah, there wouldnt be we wont touch the Tax Cuts and jobs bill. Thats what republicans view as giving us the prosperity that was record prosperity before the covid virus hit. Some of our payfors are taking dollars already allocated for covid relief, but which are no longer needed. Theres a lot of money allocated. Now that were martha how much . How much money falls into that category, senator . Id say probably moves around a little bit. Id say off the top of my head, over 100 billion. Over a fifth of it would go into that category. And things that you look at and say, that is reasonable. It looks as if the need is not there as we originally perceived. So Thats Number 1. Number 2, we encourage bringing the private sector in to leverage capital, if you will, to create more infrastructure. Its been used as a Infrastructure Bank in states, its been used in other countries, its successful. So we think its another way to leverage a lot of dollars in order to create infrastructure. Martha theres No Doubt in my mind theres money kicking around in places that has already been allocated that you can probably cobble together to get through a good chunk of that money. It seems like they want to go with reconciliation on this bill. Well be watching. We thank you nor coming around. Good to see you, senator. Thank you, maam. Martha so an awkward moment when the duchess of cambridge was asked this today by a reporter. Do you have any wishes for you new niece . Limu, youre an animal only pay for what you need. Liberty.

And the bidens will have tea with the queen this sunday. Joe biden will be the 13th u. S. President that Queen Elizabeth has met with. Her first was harry truman. Greg palkot is live with more. Hi, greg. Hi, martha. For some, its the most eagerly awaited summit of president bidens foreign trip. Hes meeting with Queen Elizabeth on sunday. A little taste of it earlier today. The queen making a Surprise Appearance at an event of g7 at a botanical garden. Receptions and a Dinner Follow including prince charles, Prince William and wife. Jill biden went to a school and talked about the importance of Preschool Learning and the duchess of cambridge went with her. President biden will be the 13th President that the queen has met. Theyll go inside for tea for about a half an hour before the bidens get on their way. The last president to spent time with the monarch was former president trump. He had tea one year, a State Dinner the next. President biden has something to look forward to Lyndon Johnson is the only one to miss out since truman. The queen is having a busy time. She marked what would have been the 100th birthday of her husband, prince philip. Shes now 95. Never a dull moment with this lady. See you sunday. Back to you. Martha God Bless her. Thanks very much. Neil sean has been covering the Royal Family for 20 years. He joins me now. Good to see you. I like the half Hour Tea Service and she will probably ring the bell, like . Like please get them. Time to move on. So i want to play this sound bite. Princess kate was asked about or the duchess was asked about the new baby. Watch this, everybody. Your royal highness, do you have any wishes for you new niece . I wish them the very best. I cant wait to meet her. We havent yet met her. Hopefully that will be soon. Martha no, no face timing, neil. What did you think of that . Good evening, martha from london. First, what is interesting is, we were all told prior to this event no questions at all about that couple. I do think its really crass that she was high jacked by this reporter trying to drag in the two exroyals that dont want to partake in representing our country to your good country. We have the full force as you rightly said, martha, of the british Royal Family including the queen. That shows the respect that weve got. To drag in its nice in a sense the new baby, but what the Reporters Angle was to drag in the former tv actress. Its a bit crass. Martha yeah, its about getting that response and she was cool as a cucumber. She barely flinched and answered the question. I think its interesting, too that it was the duchess that got the opportunity with the First Lady what does camilla do these days . Wouldnt it be assumed that she might be involved . Brilliant question as ever. The score is this. When you think about it, they have to train this beautiful young lady for the job. If you think about it, no disrespect to camilla and his royal highness, but theyre not in flush views so the angle is to push william and katherine. They will meet future president s. So i thought she handled herself elegantly. She looked beautifully in an Alexandra Mcqueen dress. You see Joe Biden and Jill Biden got on very well. Boris johnson and the queen also get along incredibly well. Its Boris Charm that has dragged Her Majesty the queen to cornwell. She has to go back for the colors and tea. So a busy weekend for the 95yearold Monarch of england. Not bad, eh . She is remarkable and moving along. The Royal Family is moving along just fine. They have a lot of seniors stepping up to the plate. Neil, good to see you. See you soon. Martha so before we go, a great story for you. Covid moves in to the rear view mirror. 13,000 Hockey Fans sing their patriotic hearts out to celebrate. Watch this. Oh say does that star spangled Banner Yet Wave oer the land of the free and the Home Of The Brave [cheers applause] martha that place was rocking. So great to see you. Look at those people packed in there and hockey and the playoffs and the national anthem. Just gives you child. Its great stuff. Nicole robby sang that. She said it was a magical experience for her. Thats the story for this friday. Neil takes over. Have a great weekend. Well see you monday. Be well. Neil thanks, martha. On that hockey theme, i think four of the biggest Technology Companies on earth has been iced. A bipartisan effort in the house to reign them. In they have gotten too big for their britches, that they should be broken up. This threat has been out there before. Heres what makes it different now. Its done through a variety of bills with bipartisan support. Republicans arent keen on these guys and democrats are not keen
