years. he famously changed his name, of course, after becoming the world heavyweight champion to mohammed alli when he became a member of the black muslim organization. >> in his final days, he was admit to do a phoenix hospitals, that happening on thursday with a respiratory problem. alli's accomplishments are stunning. having won the world heavyweight title a record three times. winning 56 of 61 fights. 37 of them by knockout. >> his impact on the world will ever be felt beyond the ring as brian kilmeade shows us the fury that flew like a burt wing and stung like a be. >> he emerged the heavyweight champion of the world. muhammed ali was born
cassius clay. january 17th, 1942 clay started boxing at the age of 12. after winning a gold medal in the 1960 olympics. i turned pro. after the listen fight that he announced his affiliation with the nation of islam and changed his name to muhammed ali. >> it's hard to be humble as great as i am. >> in 1967, he was drafted into the u.s. army but refused to fight in vietnam, stating religious differences. he was immediately stripped of his title and license to box. alli's. he got his chance against george former. the fight billed as the rumble in the jungle. he wecht in as an underdog but that wasn't enough to silence the greatest. >> i injured a stone.
hospitalized a bring. i'm so mean i make medicine sick. >> he spent the first fight punch himself out. he would drop foreman in the eighth round. he would once again be the heavyweight champion of the world. both ali and former took home a $5 million purse which many feel paved the way for today's multi-million-dollar contracts in any sport. >> before ali, pays were very minimal. during ali's time they grew. as ali they exploded. >> i lost the title again four years later to another gold olympic medalist against spinks. he relinquished the title back to ali seven months later. this made ali the only boxer in history to win the heavyweight title three times. [ applause ] >> the roaring crowds are what fueled him for 15 years and 61 fights. but his drive to please them kept ali from heeding
doctor's warnings. he was slowing down. his thyroid was blamed. medication was a daily routine. it wasn't until losing his last fight in 1981 ali admitted parkison's syndrome was the real enemy keeping him out of the ring for good. despite parkison's syndrome, ali's work with the community would never stop. his work around the globe applauded. then, 1996, another high. muhammed ali was chosen to light the olympic flame in atlanta. in 2002 ali went to afghanistan as the u.n. messenger of peace. he was in kabul for three day goodwill mission. three days later alis would woo accept the nation's highest civilian award. >> when you say the greatest of all time is in the room, everyone knows who you mean. >> president george w. bush presented ali with the presidential medal of freedom during ceremonies at the white house. even as he neared 70 years

everyone's individual life by putting all the good deeds on one side and all the bad deeds on the other side. and he told me that he was ready to go to heaven because all of his good deeds outweigh all of his bad deeds. these how he looked at life. >> huh. so his wife was famously intertwined with his faith. he converted to islam as a young man in early 20's and converted to another version of islam in the 70's and still to a third later on. he was a man of faith. in private, was it often a topic of conversation. >> not -- he didn't talk a lot about it with friends and family, but he was a devout muslim for sure. and every day he read the quran. and one of his habits was picking out passages from the quran and then writing it longhand. and he would give those as gifts to family and friends. he had one passage that he really liked.
that he gave to everybody. and at the end of the passage it says to, the person is he going to give it to from muhammad ali. ' he loved passing pamphlets out with that as far as his faith he really was a devout muslim. he never smoked, never drank, never took drug. was always looking how he could please god. he did say god, you know, early on when he was a muslim he always said allah. but he said god is -- god for all people. and all religions. so, he always said god. and he always want to do please god every day. >> tim, his life was not without controversy, as someone who calls himself a close frebsd of muhammad ali. what do you know about how he wants to be remembered? amid-all the good times there were bad times and he
did face challenges in his life. how do you look back on those times? >> well, one of the comments he always made to me was my middle name is controversy. and he was always looking for an argument. somebody to talk to to have an opposite side of his. he always like to do defend his positions. as far as legacy. one time i asked him what do you think your legacy is going to be muhammad? and he said my children. and then i said well what about your fight? your career? is there any one moment in your career that you said this is the greatest moment of my boxing career? and he said it was the first liston fight when he was 22 years old and he won the heavyweight championship for the first time. he said this big, ugly bear. this ex-con convict was going to kill this 22-year-old kid in the ring. and he told me was scared. and he was scared before the
fight. but as soon as the first round was over and he was in the ring with liston, he got confidence. he said man, he didn't knock me out, i think i can win this fight. he got excited rather than scared. he said at that moment he realized he was going to be the heavyweight champion of the world. as far as legacy, i said what is the greatest moment in your career? and he always leaves with the greatest moment in my life was when my eldest daughter, meriam was born. and he always leads with that. and then he talks about the fight. but he has told me that the legacy that he wants to be known by is his children. and i can name all of them. >> how many did he have? >> hanna, hanna jr. kayleah and mea. they all love him all. >> as soon as they heard their father was i will they
were by his side. we will check back with you in alittle bit later. the book is called "running with the champ my 40 year friendship with muhammad ali." >> that thing was the biggest thing to happen to maine. liston was a bruiser. nobody thought that was going to happen. the aftermath of that fight a lot of speculation maybe he threw the fight. people didn't believe it was on the level that it was legitimate. >> the euphoria that unfolded after that him on the microphone. that's when we got to see muhammad ali grabbing the microphone almost like a professional wrestling grabbing the microphone. that great relationship with him and howard cosell over the years. the back and forth he would touch howard cosell. you touch me again i'm going to kill. >> you he may have meant that obviously very charming guy but a ferocious guy, too. joe frazier be and he had
this very contentious relationship that was never healed with frazier's death where he attacked frazier as a tool of the establishment and a sell out to his people and really got inside's frazier's head. it was bitter. >> i love how it all started. somebody stole his bike from the bike rack, so he want to do shape up and be able to take care of whoever stole his bike. >> nuclear reactor of rage that led to his success. >> other top story. war of worlds between hillary clinton and donald trump. a live report from the golden state next. our coverage of muhammad ali's death will continue. we are live outside the hospital where he passed away as we say good by to humid ali. >> want to go to heavy -- heaven so i -- i'm the king of the world. i'm a mad man. i took out the world. i took out the world. i took out the world. e #1) when returning home from deployment,

hey, welcome back. just days away from the california primary, the battle between democrats heating up to clinch the golden state. >> meanwhile, hillary clinton looking ahead and taking aim at donald trump with the presumptive g.o.p. nominee firing back at her attack. >> the great mike emanuel joins us live from santa monica, california on the campaign trail. >> good morning to you. hillary clinton says donald trump constantly attacks so people get distracted looking at the shiny october. meanwhile clinton attacked donald trump on his economic ideas. >> when i hear donald trump talk about cutting taxes on billionaires. [crud booing] >> i say to myself, hey, wait a minute, fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on us. >> trump is also campaigning out here in the golden
state, wants to put california in play in the general election and fundraising off what is a huge source out here in california. last night in redding, trump blasted clinton saying if voters choose her, the country is going to die. >> hillary clinton is totally scripted. hillary clinton is a thief. and hillary clinton should be in jail. the only problem is i like to run against her. >> then there is bernie sanders who is going all out to win california on tuesday. he continues doing rallies and news conferences up and down the golden state. sanders says he has an excellent chance to win here and using his moment in the spotlight to push clinton on environment mental issues. >> we have a tax on carbon. [cheers and applause] and i would urge secretary clinton to change her view and support me. [cheers and applause] in demanding a tax on carbon.
>> despite the difficult delegate math for bernie sanders, make no mistake about it, is he hoping to embarrass hillary clinton out here in the golden state on tuesday night. back to you guys in new york. >> all right. thanks, mike. >> mike emanuel, that is -- just makes me laugh the idea that donald trump is in the pocket of moneyed interest. who is taking more money from wall street hillary clinton or donald trump? it's literally not even close. >> obviously it's one of hillary clinton's biggest sources of funding and has been for a long time. >> well, michelle obama in a rare public speech, rare political speech going after donald trump. she chose this university specifically. she chose ccny which is a public college, immigrant rich college in new york. over 150 different languages spoken. that's specifically why she want to do speak in front of that audience when she said this. watch. >> despite the lessons of our history and the truths of your experience here at city colleges, some folks out there today seem to have a very different
perspective. they seem to view our diversity as a threat to be contained rather than as a resource to be tapped. [cheers] >> they tell us to be afraid of those who are different, to be suspicious of those with whom we disagree. here in america, we don't give in to our fears. we don't build up walls to keep people out because we know that our greatness has always depended on contributions from people who were born elsewhere. [ applause ] but sought out this country and made it their home. >> what a demagogue. in other words, if you disagree with michelle obama mall you are a racist. that's what we have heard for quite some time. accuse other people bad wanting to build walls. a person living in a house in which walls are built to protect her. >> she never mentioned by name. >> she was talking directly about him building walls.
but she did, however, talk about colin powell, former secretary of state who went there and talked about him being the son of an imgrant. she drew those parallels. >> nobody is against immigrants, but this administration has let in twice the number of immigrants as the number of jobs that have been created during the obama administration. so like how does that work exactly? why is that good for anybody who lives here or anybody who comes here? >> coming up, the mainstream media celebrated hillary clinton's foreign policy speech. >> donald trump's ideas aren't just different, they are dangerously incoherent. >> what did the voters think of it? lee carter gives us the dial treatment next. >> and then our coverage of muhammad ali's death continues. we're live outside the hospital where the boxing champion passed away as we say good by to the greatest. >> i don't have a mark on my
face. and 22 years old. i must be the greatest. i told the world. in means protection plus unique extras only from an expert allstate agent. it's good to be in, good hands. the call just came in. she's about to arrive. and with her, a flood of potential patients. a deluge of digital records. x-rays, mris. all on account...of penelope. but with the help of at&t, and a network that scales up and down on-demand, this hospital can be ready. giving them the agility to be flexible & reliable.

we are working to confirm that information. family spokesperson a short while ago sent out an email
saying there will be a media briefing in a few hours. we expect to learn more about the funeral arrangements for muhammad ali. we do know he will be buried in his hometown of louisville, kentucky. a family spokesperson said after, quote, a 32 year battle with parkison's disease muhammad ali has passed away at the age of 74. the heavyweight boxer died this evening. then on thursday the day before ali's death, his daughter posted this status to facebook saying i love this photo of my father and my daughter sydney when she was a baby. thanks for all the love and well-wishes. i feel your love and appreciate. here in phoenix muhammad ali helped found the parkison's center in phoenix. that hospital aims to aid those also stricken with the same disease. parkinson's disease which muhammed ali suffered from. clayton? >> matt live for us in morning in scottsdale where muhammad ali passed away. thanks, manual. tucker, over to you.
>> the gloves are off this morning in the golden state with the press touting hillary clinton's attacks as a turning point for her as she moves upward in the general election. how do voters feel about it? that's the real question to. answer it pollster lee carter joins us. new dial tests. good morning, lee. >> good morning. >> so, this was the consensus in every paper in politico and all tuggers were convinced hillary clinton's speech attacking trump on foreign policy basically changed the race. did it? >> i don't think so. i really don't. i think it's not surprising to see the democrats loved it not surprising to say that republicans did not. but independents, it's real interesting to see how they tracked. we should take a look across these dials how they responded. >> okay. so here's the first bite we are going to play hillary on trump's temperament. >> making donald trump our commander in chief would be a historic mistake. and it would undo so much of the work that republicans and democrats alike have done. over many decades to make
america stronger and more secure. it boo set back our standing in the world more than anything in recent memory. and it would fuel an ugly narrative about who we are. >> and so you can see that the democrats across the top of the line a said she did a fantastic job. independents and republicans both gave her an f. this was the most interesting thing to me. one of the independents said she might be right but i'm not sure that she is any better. so there is still this real trust gap that she has. she can put this out there and cause doubts about donald trump. independent voters they still have doubts about her. >> she can hurt him but doesn't necessarily help herself? >> that's right. >> interesting. >> here is hillary on national pride. watch this. >> imagine if he had not just his twitter account at his disposal when he is angry but america's entire arsenal. do we want him making those calls? someone thin-skinned and quick to anger who lashes out at the smallest
criticism. do we want his finger anywhere near the button? >> no. >> i have a lot of faith that the american people will make the right decision. this is a country with a deep reservoir of common sense and national pride. >> well, i'm no hillary voter, i thought that was a pretty effective line though. >> you know what? i will agree. what we heard from voters, we said what is the most effective attack? what stands out to you? that idea that donald trump is thin-skinned. that is the one thing that she said people were repeating and really scares them because we can't afford to have a president who is thin skinned. independents and republicans here basically said this was a pretty good argument. independents even came back a little bit to the middle. they gave it more like a c. especially when she started saying i believe in the american people. we have deep sense of common sense. people really respond to do that they want us to show that we are great america. they want her talking about the positives more than the attacks. the attack when she went on
thin skin that's when it stuck. >> interesting. here is trump's response to what she said, watch. >> crooked hillary said oh, donald trump, his finger on the button. i'm the one that didn't want to go into iraq, folks. and she is the one that stupidly raised her hand to go into iraq and destabilize the entire middle east. >> so that was a very typical donald trump tone and response and feedback and independents, republicans gave him a b. it wasn't the ever done. weighs a right to swing back. he made a good point. democrats not surprisingly gave it an f. still independents said if she is going to come at him for that he has every right to come back swinging. >> interesting he went after her on iraq. not just libby but on iraq. >> lee carter, thanks a lot for that. >> any time. great to be here. >> she is a convicted cop killer hiding out in cuba. is there a deal in the works to bring her back to america to face justifiable? we have details on that story coming up. and firemen called terrorists because they put
the american flag on their truck. it's a shocking story. we have a big update this morning. the fireman's union president joins us live just ahead.
>> rumble young man rumble. that's what we going to do. you heard it. >> i told you i was floating like a butterfly and stinging like a be. >> his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see. that's what happened.
>> one of the most iconic quotes from muhammad ali. the world is mourning the boxing legend this morning. muhammad passing away at the age of 74. >> passed away from respiratory complications. >> world reacting to the death of muhammad ali. >> i was so overwhelmed i couldn't believe that i met him when i was young. i met muhammad ali. him touching me, me shaking hands with muhammad ali. it made me want to go out there legend. a man that's going to be truly missed. a man that i loved. >> tributes pouring in on social media as well. our own adam housley has more from los angeles this morning on this story. good morning, adam. >> good morning, guys. all throughout the night we have been monitoring this. the #s, for or five gotten close to 1 million retweets or postst. penal posting their thoughts
on muhammad ali whether you knew him or didn't. people who had no thoughts leaving thoughts and people who knew the man. don king put out a statement like he will never die. he stood for the world. george foreman, muhammad ali is one of the greatest human beings i ever met. no doubt one of the greatest people who ever lived in this day and age. kareem abdul jabbar today we bow our heads at the loss of a man who did so much for america. tomorrow we will raise our heads again, remembering that his bravery, his outspokeness and his sacrifice for the sake of his community and country lives on in the best part of each of us. you heard from floyd mayweather a minute ago. but also bernice king, daughter of martin luther king, of course, says you were a champion in so many ways. you fought well. rest well. manny paquel says we lost a giant today. boxing benefited from
muhammad ali's talents but not as much as mankind benefited from his humanity. bob, the boxing promoter. he was the greatest fighter of all time. boxing career secondary to his contribution to the world. we are hearing from everyone those running for president and those who had no connection at all. other than knowing that muhammad ali was larger than life. we heard from lahia ali earlier. we know many in family at his side in phoenix. this wasn't the first time he had gone through something like this. in fact, jim gray who knew him well works for here at fox. this is the fourth time muhammad ali had been in a grave situation. unfortunately the first three, he won that battle as he fought and won so many throughout his lifetime and in so many ways. unfortunately this one he did not win. another small story i want to do pass along, here in southern california, muhammad ali went to a game a couple years ago at a school that i'm familiar with pepperdine university a
small baseball stadium here for a college team doesn't get generally large crowds and muhammad ali went to see his grandson play from the university of louisville as they played a pepperdine team. not a lot of people in the stands that day. usually when someone like muhammad ali would come to an event, generally speaking, you will have a massive entourage. that's kind of the way people travel those days. he came basically with his family. no entourage. it's those thoughts coming through this morning. people who knew him. people who didn't know him. the energy he had, whether weather you met him or not, whether you are in the same room or not is something that continues to live on. we will have more thoughts and remembrances here on fox back to you in new york. >> thanks. >> questions we were asking earlier, tim shanahan, one of his close friends, how did he want to be remembered? he wrote about this from his own memoir he said i would like to be remembered as the man who won the heavy weight title three times. humorous. a man who never looked down on those who looked up to
him and helped as many people as he could. as a man who stood up for his beliefs no matter what. as a man who tried to unite all human kind through faith and love. if all that is too much, i guess i would settle to be remembered as a great boxer and leader and champion of his people. i wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty i was. >> he was known for saying that a couple times. all right. well, the death toll climbing now to nine after search teams find the pose of four more soldiers swept away in those texas floods. only three of 12 men surviving the tragic accident in owl creek at fort hood. two and a half ton truck overturning during a training exercise. the three men who survived were released from the hospital friday. we're still waiting on the army to release the names of those who died. three men have now been found guilty of conspiring to join isis. the trio all from the state of minnesota. they're accused of planning
to go to syria and conspiring to commit murder. they all now face life in prison. they are among 10 young men accused in the conspiracy. a judge ordering the man who set up hillary clinton's controversial email server to prove he was immunity deal with the department of justice. brian pagliano planning to plead the fifth during a deposition by a watchdog group but now has to prove that he has rationale to do so. pagliano has been part of an fbi investigation into whether or not hillary clinton broke the law by sharing and storing classified information on her private home email server. rumor has it u.s. and cuban officials are in talks to exchange exiles. the trade would bring new jersey cop killer joanne chess march back to america. until exchange she has been
hiding out in havana since the mid 1980, those are your headlines this morning. >> rick reichmuth is standing by with a look at the forecast this morning. hey, rick. >> how many times have we talked about texas flooding and how many times have we talked about it. >> keep asking. >> it's getting metta. >> it really is been the case all week long. the rain today right here across kind of the center stripe of the country from minnesota and western great lakes down to the south. we still have rain falling around the houston area. one of the spots seeing so much flooding. it's almost done. however, this front is very slow to move out. i think by tomorrow evening it's gone. in the meantime we will see spots around houston, maybe 3 or 4 inches of rain and see more flooding. tropics, hurricane season started just a couple days ago and we are watching our third system of the year potentially going to develop maybe some time tomorrow evening here. all this moisture you see in the western caribbean, that is going to move up in the national hurricane center high chance of development here in the 48 to 72 hours.
right here across parts of the eastern gulf, and maybe some sort of a landfall monday night into tuesday across parts of florida. a lot of rain there. some spots maybe 7 to 10 inches of rain. we will see flooding in florida this week as well. >> that's a lot of rain. >> a lot of rain. >> thanks, rick. >> you bet. >> coming up on the show, remember how the state department admitted to delicately editing this briefing video to cut our james rosen it turns out they did it again. the new accusation being leveled against the obama administration. we we are live in washington with that story next. >> you have seen the shocking video. a trump supporter getting egged in the face by protesters who are waving mexican flags. shouldn't they protests? debate is next. ♪ hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out ♪ don't back down

when my doctor prescribedbad, medication-an opioid. it really helped! but it came with some baggage: opioid-induced constipation-oic. sooo awkward... you sound like you're ready for the movantalk! opioids block pain signals. but they can also block activity in the bowel, causing constipation. movantik can help reduce constipation caused by opioid pain medications. do not take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. serious side effects may include a tear in your stomach or intestine. and can also include symptoms of opioid withdrawal. common side effects include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, gas, vomiting, and headache. tell your doctor about any side effects and about medicines you take as movantik may interact with them causing side effects. i'm so glad i had the movantalk with my doctor! constipated by your prescription opioid pain medication? ask your doctor if movantik is right for you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.
welcome back. remember when the state department admit to do editing this exchange between our james rosen and a states department spokesperson. it's happened again this time over a press briefing over the iran nuclear deal. garrett tenney with the latest on. this good morning, clayton. the selective editing again involves a fox news correspondent asking about the administration lying to the american public about the iran nuclear deal. back on may 9th, at the white house press briefing, our own kevin corke asked white house spokesperson josh earnst about that here is the exchange. >> you can state categorically that no senior official in this administration has ever lied publicly about any aspect of the iran nuclear deal? >> no. >> that initial response from ernest where he says no, kevin, never made it
into the white house's official transcript of that briefing though. a white house official told abc news, which first reported the omission that the line was left out because it was inaudible. though you could clearly hear it there in that video. this, of course, comes on the heels of a discovery that the state department official ordered 8 minute exchange between our own james rosen and then spokeswoman jen psaki over the iran nuclear deal to be deleted on the website and youtube channel. in paris yesterday, secretary of state john kerry called that decision stupid, clumsy and inappropriate. and said he intends to find out who is responsible, adding he did not want that kind of person working for him. congress is now getting involved as well on friday. he had royce, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee requested the state department's inspector general investigate the issue as well. and jason chaffetz, the chairman of the house oversight committee sent a letter to secretary kerry requesting documents and information regarding that incident as well.
so this story is not going away any time soon, clayton? >> i wonder how much other stuff is [inaudible]. -- inaudible. >> flags burned, donald trump supporters were assaulted in san jose thursday night. hillary clinton has condemned the violence but also blamed trump for it watch this. i condemn all violence in our political arena. i condemned it when donald trump was inciting it and congratulating people who were engaging in it. i condemn it by those who are taking violent protests to physical assault against donald trump. this has to end. he said a -- he set a very bad example. he created an environment in which it seemed to be acceptable for someone running for president to be inciting violence, to be encouraging his supporters. now we are seeing people who are against him responding in kind. it should all stop. >> okay. that's hillary's view.
some on the left have actually encouraged rioting. one vox editor tweeted this the other day quote. advice: if trump comes to your town, start a riot. that man was suspended but there wasn't much outrage about it. why? joining us now to discuss this is the mayor of miami beach florida and hillary clinton supporter and frequent guest on the show reporter lavigne. mr. mayor, it's great to see you. >> thank you. >> it's a little much to blame donald trump for the violence of people who support hillary clinton or bernie sanders, isn't it. >> absolutely. tucker, let me say. this as a mayor the most important thing is public safety. making sure your citizens or residents are safe. everyone needs to condemn violence. there is no place for this in our political discourse. obviously this is a very contentious election. i'm sure we are going to see this all across the country. i call upon my fellow mayors and all contenders in this presidential race to condemn violence during all these political rallies and all these events. >> good for you. what you didn't hear anybody mention in the press for some reason is the nature of
these protests. they weren't just against trump. they were against america. burning american flags. waving mexican flags. make america mexico again. stop waving the flags of foreign countries? what is this. >> everyone has freedom of speech. no question about that freedom of speech doesn't mean that you cannot hurt anybody, that you can threaten anybody. that needs to be eliminated. >> i'm not contesting their right to be anti-american. i'm saying people in positions of authority ought to denounce it. why aren't they? >> no question about it. that's why donald trump really should denounce it. >> he denounces it all the time. >> i mean, listen. >> why waving mexican flags. >> tucker, let me ask you a question when is he saying something like beat the crap out of that protester, that's wrong. >> right. >> he shouldn't say that. he should condemn violence. >> i agree. >> senator sanders. >> that's an easy call. >> donald trump needs to do that. >> do you think the protesters at anti-trump should wave mexican flags. >> i think people should have freedom of speech.
>> hold on, slow down. what do you think of the waving mexican flags? do you find that appealing? what do you think that means. >> i think today is a sad day for america. muhammad ali passed away and being the mayor of miami beach greatest in the world when he knocked out sunny his ten. one of the things he stood for against violence. violence in the ring but outside the ring he was not for violence. >> like muhammad ali you are floating like a butterfly around my question. >> and stipulating like a be. thank you for being my guest. >> firearm called terrorists because they put flag on truck. speaking of anti-american. respond to that next.

the guys standing behind me very upset. this is the american flag a lot of brave men and women laid their lives down for us to fly that flag. >> three chief were told to take down decals. two of them were veterans themselves. he has since walked back these remarks and now they will be allowed to fly the flag but they have to ask permission? >> well, we haven't been told that we're allow to do fly it. they have walked back their comments but issue asked privately by three fire chiefs in the current administration that the chairman wants the flag and vice merriman want the flags off the fire trucks. >> we also understand, by the way, that since this story broke the fire district board has hired a pr firm and you say that you have been getting a lot of support and the firefighters have been getting a lot of support for the community. so, david goshman, thanks for -- gorman, thanks for

three times. matt joins us live from outside the hospital there in scottsdale, arizona where he had spent his last few days. hey, matt. >> good morning, everyone. of course it's very somber here right now. calm and quiet. we have seen people come and leave behind candles and mementos like boxing gloves. there was a very strong presence of security here at one point we saw almost a dozen police officers or what appeared to be security guards in front of the main entrance of the hospital. now the security preference has -- presence has diminished. we cannot confirm whether his body is in the hospital behind us. we do know the family released an email a short while ago saying that muhammad ali will be buried in his hometown of louisville, kentucky. there will be a briefing. the family is expected to release more information on fowrnl arrangements. on thursday, the day before he died, his daughter posted this status to facebook saying, quote: i love this
photo of my father and my daughter sydney when she was a baby. thanks for all the love and well wishes. i feel your love and appreciate it. as you guys have been saying, celebrities, athletes, world leaders have been posting tributes on social media mike tyson said, quote. came from his champion. floyd mayweather post to do instagram saying my heart goes out to a pioneer, a true legend and hero by all means. now, of course, muhammad ali has been described as kind and giving man. someone who tried to give back to the world through any means that he could. and here in phoenix, the boxing legend helped found the muhammad ali parkison's center at a neurological institute in phoenix. that hospital aims to help people struck with factor sons the disease he suffered from for so long. >> thanks, matt. >> muhammad ali was known for accomplishments in the ring but accomplishments around the world even greater. >> how muhammad ali floated
like a butterfly and stung like the be. >> the world pretty like me. >> he was pretty and he won the heavyweight championship three different times from 1964 to 1979. ali was still known as cassius clay when he came out of louisvilleville kentucky and took the championship from sonny liston. in february 1964. overnight, he became an international star with attitude. >> i walked in london, england. i jumped off the airplane. camera men anywhere i go. look in the gym. tv, cameraman, everybody follows me i'm so great. >> in 1960's he embraced muslim religion changed his name from cassius clay to muhammad ali. with the vietnam war raging, ali refused to be inducted into the army. as a consequence, he was stripped of his title and exiled from boxing for almost four years. he returned and won the title again from george foreman when he introduced his famous rope-a-dope
strategy in 1974. >> let's do it all. i hit them -- it will knock him back and out. he would literally stand there and wake up again. >> it was an aging ali who lost a title to toothless leon spinks in 1978. he came back 8 months later to regain the crown. ali's most memorable fights were with joe frazier. he won two of the three classic contests from 1971 to 1975. >> i told you today i'm still the greatest of all time. never again defeat me. never again say that i'm going to be defeated. never again make me the underdog until i'm about 50 years old. then you might get me. >> in the 70's, he came under the influence of boxing promoter dom king. he pounded out a lopsided decision over the unskilled chuck wetner in 1975. he
remained international celebrity long after his retirement 1981. symbolic of national status. he was chosen to light the olympic torch after the 1976 olympics in atlanta. even though he was severely inflicted with parkinson's disease. he attended the funeral of his greatist rival joe frazier. >> i told you i'm the champ of the world. all of you bow. all of my critics. >> in new york, brian kilmeade, fox news. >> we want to bring in tim shanahan now author of running with the champ. my 40 year friendship with muhammad ali. we want to talk about your remembrances of muhammad ali. this morning, everyone bringing up the fact that he was a controversial figure. i think he offended just about everyone. he offended the naacp, he offended the establishment. everyone seemed to have a gripe at one time with muhammad ali. >> like i mentioned earlier, he said his middle name was
controversy. and whenever he was promoting his fights, he always said he wanted to insult the opponent and make people angry at him and at that way, 50% of the people will come to see him lose and the other 50% would come to see him win. so whenever he was promoting the fight, he said that was all an act. he said i was just pumping myself up to get into the mood to fight this opponent. and he had to make himself angry to get into that mood. he was a loving person. he loves all people. and somebody who loves all people can't be a terror in the ring unless he makes up something in his head. so he was controversial. >> he was. he became famous as you know in the 1960's for coming out against racial integration. and as a black separatist and said so without apology and often. when -- did he change his view on that? and if so when and why? >> he really -- he believed
in elijah muhammad. so he was following him as a young age and believed anything and everything he said. when elijah muhammad died in 1975, wallace d. muhammad took over his son took over. he was more along the lines of muhammad's thinking that is that we can't be calling the white man devils. we have to learn how to get along with them. because they are in the business world. and we have to join them in the business world and do business with them. and we can't turn our backs on that. we have to make ourselves better and greater by cooperating and participating with the white world. and muhammad always believed that he never really believed that the white man was the devil. so that was a time when he started changing his thoughts. >> tim, as an athlete, obviously he had god-given talent. he won an olympic gold medal at the age of 18. as his friend for so long, what more did muhammad ali have that made him this
exceptional athlete beyond just talent? because athletes know it takes more than just that. >> i'm going to tell you something probably everybody sees but don't bring up his spiritual side. he is the most spiritual person that i know. and he rises above the mortality that he is facing in fights and any type of controversy. he takes it from a higher level. people who deal with him on that spiritual level realize it. and i believe that the one thing that he had above all other athletes was the ability to rise above and faces the challenge at a spiritual level rather than a morality level. >> thanks for joining us this morning and for remembering your friend muhammad ali for us. thanks. >> thank you. >> good to have you here. headlines this morning

country, certainly at this time. [cheers] >> i think she is unfit. >> then there is bernie sanders who is still campaigning relentlessly out here in california. sanders has been doing multiple rallies each day and daily news conferences with reporters. sanders sounds pleased that very tight polls have forced clinton to compete here. >> the media has decided that the campaign was over. she was supposed to be campaigning n new jersey but suddenly she and bill got a plane and here they are in california. sounds like the campaign is not quite over. [cheers] >> sanders has faced some questions in recent days about whether he is the one dividing the democratic party. sanders describes himself as an old fashioned guy who believes debate and democracy are great ideas. tucker, sandra, clayton? >> all right. thanks. >> thanks, mike. well we have that in common with him.
we believe debate and democracy are good ideas on "fox & friends." >> violence unfolding in california and san jose and other rallies. chaos, you, of course, saw those anti-trump protesters throwing eggs at the trump supporter wearing the trump shirt. >> al pack of them surrounding this poor woman. screaming at her and intimidating her. imagine if she were a hillary supporter being surrounded by trump supporter. >> or transgendered right supporter being surrounded by red next. the justice department would be on this, right? >> she comes out and says she is condemning it. but then, of course, she is pointing the finger back at trump again. now we have this, which is an amazing tweet from emmet rensin. the editor of that publication tweeted this yesterday advice: if trump comes to your town start a rite. he has been suspended. he goes on to defend that
idea, basically saying, look, if you oppose donald trump, this idea, you should come out and start a riot. >> hillary clinton says she condemns it but the question is are democrats doing enough to denounce this type of activity. especially after something like that. >> what about the nature of the protests? they were not just against trump they were against america. they were waving american -- waving mexican flags is that okay take a foreign flag to a protested and say let's make the state mexico. what does hillary think about that? >> emmet comes out with tweets i oppose all violence. violence against human beings is immoral. violence when you burn down a store front that's negotiable. violence to cars and things like that. >> that's doable. >> let us know your thoughts on that. coming up on this show, remember this shocking photo of this dog with its mouth duct taped shut? >> we have update on this case you will want to hear it straight ahead. >> taking on donald trump, it appears.

on the road for hillary clinton this fall. no doubt about it. he always is does he understand that she is taking multiples more money from wall street than donald trump is? does he even know that, i wonder? >> i think he is more on the side of bernie sanders. >> right. he is obedient leftee robot, they all are. they will all get in line, of course. they all are. >> go for it, tucker, why not? >> because it's true. >> it is true. hillary clinton has taken more money from wall street than any republican, period. >> thank you, stuart varney. >> $200,000 per speech. i don't know a republican who gets $200,000 per speech from wall street. >> much more than that in one goldman sak's speech. >> i tried but it's not working. >> look at jobs report. 38,000 jobs created in the last month in may. this was a dismal number when it came out. you were covering it, stu. why? what happened? >> i think that's another problem for hillary clinton. the economy is almost dead stopped, growing at less than 1% a year. that is pathetic. hardly creating any new
jobs. 38,000 that is dismal in the extreme. the middle class is still shrinking. and here's hillary clinton running for office on the back of president obama's economic policies. which are failing. >> but, remember, she says her husband is going to fix the economy. >> oh, that will work here is donald trump on this jobs report he tweeted out. terrible jobs report just reported. only 38,000 jobs added. bombshell. >> he is right. it is a bombshell. that came out of the blue yesterday. when that was announced, only 38,000 new jobs created in one month. that just came right out of the blue. nobody was really expecting it to be that bad. >> there were these predictions we have been talking about it over the last few months that the next president, it might be handed a real hurricane when they go into office. >> it could be. >> what needs to happen from either side to try to right these winds? >> you have two sides of the fence here. hillary clinton and bernie sanders would go into the election with a policy of tax the rich and spend more money. that's what we have had for eight years.
doesn't work. donald trump will go into the election with a tax plan. cut individual tax rates, cut corporate tax rates, give us growth. i think that's what we need. i think we need growth at all costs. a lot of problems would be at least alleviated if we had 4% growth for a couple of years. that wouldn't solve everything, but it would set us on the right track. >> government regulations have been a big obstacle as well. >> get rid of them, employees. obamacare is the biggest obstacle to prosperity for middle america. it's still with us. it's got to go. >> those people aren't voting anyway so they have got to go. >> watch the show. >> killing it. >> you are all right, you guys. >> great to see you. >> want you back every weekend. >> coming up here on the show, she was fired after 40 veterans died under her watch at the phoenix v.a. now there is a chance she could get her job back thanks to the doj. pete hegseth is fired up about this and he is

will tell you every celebrity on the planet was there he watched the fight with his thumbs in his ears. he didn't want the crowd's reaction to influence his decision because the crowd can't see if a punch actually lands or doesn't land. he ruled nine rounds for joe frazier, six rounds for muhammad ali and muhammad ali lost that huge, huge fight right after the supreme court battle and all that in my house ali, frazier, march 8th is like a day of reverence. >> were you there, bo? >> i was there he touched my life twice. in 1917 i was a police trainee. i didn't become a cop yet. we had the gray uniform. i was working -- we had all time detective there he liked his begin. he gave me his detective badge. i took his detective badge. i knew about the fight. i said i'm a detective. so i had illegal badge. i had his badge and i went back into where the locker rooms. i'm walking around with a badge on me. i was a trainee at the time. i wasn't even a cop.

was divisive guy. the nation was very divided. he refused to go to vietnam. he, you know, he changed his name. he was calling joe frazier uncle tom. joe frazier who was financing him under the table when he boxing because he was not allow to do box. it was a crazy, crazy time. when bo talks about frank sinatra being there. do you know how he got there? frank sinatra was there because he went to life magazine and asked to get credentials as a photographer, so frank sinatra was ring side as the ring side photographer for life magazine. that's how big an event it was. >> some italian businessmen that i grew up with in the park. all the italian businessmen from the gambino, that's where they were at. the tickets for the 1971 fight was the hottest tickets in the world and was the greatest sporting event of my lifetime. >> lived up to the hype. it went 15 rounds.

welcome back. well, is the white house trying to undermine v.a. reform? that's what some lawmakers are saying in the wake of a justice department decision that could protect the job of a fired v.a. official. sharon hell man was terminated as the head of the v.a. facility after 40 veterans died on her watch much the doj, however, is giving her a chance to appeal the firing and congress is crying foul. so why is the administration doing this? here to help us break this all down is pete hesitation
hegseth. great to see you this morning. >> good morning. >> your thought on she could aheel to have her ousted at the phoenix v.a.? >> it's enraging. she is the director of the hospital where the scandal was exposed. sharon hellman is the poster child for what is wrong with the v.a. she continues to insist that somehow she was wrongfully removed. she actually didn't get fired technically for the wait time scandal. she got fired for illegal gifts, beyonce tickets and others that she took under the table for special benefits for others. she is corrupt across the board. if she gets another appeal, she has already had an appeal. another appeal and gets her job back, it will demonstrate exactly how corrupt the entire system is. >> people are arguing what's really going on here? are the unions at the heart of all of this, pete? >> of course they are. the unions, the white house is in bed with the government unions who want more and more protections. they don't want anyone that's even remotely close to at will employment. in this case they claim the
constitution. doj is claiming that it's unconstitutional to fire someone like sharon helman. this is the same white house who loves to shred the constitution. somehow when it comes to vets or directors who underserve them, now they are all up in arms about the constitution. and they are claiming that it's unconstitutional to fire them. tell them to every american whose been fired without cause at will employment. somehow government workers live in a special land where they can't be fired? it's absolutely enraging. the justice department is in bed with the unions who is in bed with the white house. and that's why nothing is changing. >> on the other side of this argument is well, doesn't she deserve an appeal or could she just be fired without any further appeal? >> she has had an appeal. she had an appeal. she wants an additional appeal on top of it to be -- and it to be overturned there was also an investigation. it's not as if she just walked in and she was fired. it was months and months and months of an expose. much more than anyone in a
private sector would get. that in most institutions would ever get. these government workers are coddled, they are protected, they get lawyered up. they get another appeal. they get evidence. all the d. law did that was passed was expedite an appeal. it didn't get rid of an appeal. expedites it so like someone at an organization like the v.a. can get fired. many lawyers out there, many which i am behind the v.a. accountability act that would give the secretary the ability to fire any employee at the v.a. for cause. still be appeal and process. and the white house is claiming that would be unconstitutional. let's have that fight. because there is nothing in the constitution that says if you are a corrupt worker at the v.a. you can't be fired. find me where it says that it doesn't exist. they want more regulatory pairiers between the employees and that could be fired. it's really unfortunate. >> great point. and the unions at the heart of it all. pete hegseth thank you so much this morning. >> thank you. >> coming up on the show, did you hear this ridiculous

the age of 74 last night after battling parkison's disease for more than three decades. admit to do a phoenix hospital thursday with respiratory problems. he won three world heavyweight boxing titles. after boxing he became a voice around the world. one of the most famous men in sports. >> in 2005 he was awarded the highest civilian honor the medal of freedom by president george w. bush. >> it was a long road from growing up in louisville, kentucky as cassius clay to his later life as muhammad ali. our observe juan williams knew muhammad ali. interviewed him for npr years ago. he joins us now. you there, juan? >> i'm right here, tucker. good morning. >> good morning. >> i mean, he a evolved or changed, became different or whatever happened to muhammad ali. he was not the same at least in the public eye at the end as he was 50 years ago. tell us about that journey incredible journey. what an athlete.
just a beautiful man. i don't know if have you ever seen pictures of him down in miami, ang lee dundee's gym. the beatles came to visit ali. people just loved them 18 olympic cold. phantom punch. he was so fast they didn't even see the punch. they wondered if there was some mob inspired fix in but there was a punch. but the political journey almost starts at the same time. you see, of course, cassius clay becomes as world champion under the influence of the black muslims and malcolm x and changed his name from cassius clay to muhammad ali. in the course of that become a defiant figure. scary figure black and white with regards to his religion. people didn't know or understand what the black muslims were about. and so ali becomes part of a counter culture, defiant moment in american life,
particularly with regard to civil rights. and that escalates then when he says he is not going to enlist in the military in 67 and loses his boxing license. it's four years later that supreme court ruled in his favor that he had a legitimate basis for saying that he was a conscientious objector. >> juan, you sat down and talked to him several years ago. and you know, he is such a famous iconic person that you watched, you know, your whole life and you had built a perception. what did you learn when you sat down with him? did any of your perceptions of him change when you met him in person? >> well, you know, sandra, it's a little bit like meeting someone larger than life. i mean he is muhammad ali. i think, i'm not being -- i'm not engaging in hyperbole when i say i think he is the most famous person on the planet. there is no place you can go. no hamlet in china, no tribe in south america where people did not know this man's name and so, you know,
i remember once with my daughter, you know, he invited me over and this was in washington, d.c. and he just starts playing. and you realize man, that's muhammad ali. another time when i interviewed him as you mentioned for radio in los angeles, it was -- he was out there for some espn awards. and he just starts doing magic tricks. he made himself into a very good magician. again, just so surprising. the way other people react to do him. holiday stars hollywood stars and other athletes held him in regard. i think it had to do with the idea that he had political voice, that i is h. sacrificed take a stand whether you agree with it or not. and secondly that he was so well known and so beloved by some. i think even in the boxing community, my dad was involved in the boxing community. people just thought, you know, is he different. i mean, he was not only fast and strong.
but he had the poetic nature that really made him a hero. even when he went after people like joe frazier. he was just cruel to joe frazier. i don't know if you know that story. he made him into a guy uncle tom, not proud of himself. ignorant. just terrible stuff. even then people, i think, were willing to forgive him because he represented something that was almost beyond boxing, beyond sport which was this poetic peter pan sort of figure. you never associate that with boxing, but muhammad ali somehow made that happen. >> it's amazing because you hear the tale of two muhammad alis. the frazier version you were just talking about but also other stories like three college kids broken down their car on the side of the road. he drives by in rolls royce and does a u-turn around comes back. gets the jumper cables out and helps these people. people just stopped all over the streets waving at him. they couldn't believe it. here is muhammad ali in his rolls royce jumping this car
for these college kids. that's the kind of guy he was, right? >> i think that's true. i remember i was in l.a. with him. i did the interview, and then we were going over to an aespn award ceremony. we went into the green room area and they gave him a separate room because everybody was just flocking around him. but here comes r. kelly, the r and b singer. and you know r kelly did a song i believe can i fly. he comes over and starts singing to ali and says, you know, you were the one who made me believe i can fly. i can do anything, you know. you think my gosh. this is muhammad ali. and he is just smiles and puts hermine in head locks, you know. i'm going to jab you. everybody starts laughing. but it's the regard that he was held in that really set him apart. i think, you know, when i saw him, for example, in '96 trembling with the parkison's, marching up those steps to light the olympic torve in atlanta, you know, i don't get emotional about a whole lot in public life like that.
but, boy, that was a moment. because here was the outsider. here was the kid from segregated louisville who went through such internal crisis over this nation of islam, black identity thing, someone who, you know, lost so many years of his career and suddenly the whole country was embracing him and saying, you know what? you are the greatest athlete we have seen and certainly in the boxing ring. and we like to you represent the u.s.a. at this golden moment in atlanta. i think the whole stadium was just -- it was an emotional moment for the country? juan williams joining us. thanks, juan. >> thank you, juan. >> you are welcome. >> turning now to some headlines, starting with a fox news alert this morning. the death toll climbing to nine now after search teams find the bodies of four more soldiers swept away in those texas floods. only three of 12 men surviving the accident at owl creek in fort hood. a two and a half ton truck overturning during a training exercise. the they men who survived

well, the california primaries are just a few days away. it's on tuesday. it's a big deal on the
democratic side where the race is still in full swing. new numbers show that hillary clinton is neck in neck with bernie sanders, within the margin of error. it's a big deal for her because he could win. what happens then were that to happen? wow. chris stirewalt joins us live from washington with the answer. he is fox news politics editor and our friend. good to see you this morning. i saw you on megyn kelly's show last night. you didn't sleep much. thanks for joining us. >> i saw you last night on kelly file. >> adderall. i know all the clinton people i spoke to recently two days ago they are worried that could happen. what would that mean. >> she should be worried. all likelihood she will clinch the nomination early on the evening with knowledge. puerto rico and new jersey should put her over the top and it's a win. but, like the battle of new orleans, the war of 1812 was already over but andrew jackson's victory there put the stink on it for the british. if, in fact, bernie sanders
wins in california, he has a great incentive to stay in the race, to hang around. washington's primary such as it is the following week and then can he go to the convention and complain about super delegates and make vociferous hand gestures. >> yes. and also make real demands of her like choosing her running mate. what do you think he asks for? his wife came out the other day and said we demand a progressive run with hillary clinton. do you think the senator from massachusetts, elizabeth warren could be the person he demands she runs with? >> or himself. he would actually be kind of an interesting running mate. the press doesn't take him seriously. they don't listen to what he is saying. they don't listen to his ideas. they like his hair and funny accent and they think he is adorable. i don't know, maybe it would be good. certainly for her, if she wins resoundingly in california, she has the freedom to pick somebody like cory booker. somebody who could help her ticket overall rather than
just going with the base of the base of the base. >> the base of the base of the base though does support at least the white liberals in the base support bernie sanders. i'm sure you saw that clip from suzanne sarandon i want to play it anyway. so revogel how they feel in the closing moments of the democratic race. here is susan sarandon on hillary clinton. >> nobody is even talking about this indictment. what happens with that? besides the trust issue in catching her in so many lies. >> well, there has been no indictment. >> no, but there is gonna be. >> the reporter tries to defend hillary. susan sarandon having none of it hillary gave a statement saying that's not going to happen. >> but that reveals how a lot of bernie supporters feel. they don't like hillary. how many won't vote for her, do you think? >> obviously susan sarandon is wired inside the fbi. her deep functional knowledge of the fbi and department of justice has brought her her insight heretofore unseen. we should all wish to have such good reportage. people become willing to believe in things
unsupported by facts. in this case certainly hillary clinton has a problem. we don't know whether she is going to be indicted. people willing to believe these things, hatred drives belief more easily than love. in the case of hillary clinton, liberals hate her. they know that she is going to pivot to the center as soon as she gets the nomination she will kiss them off and say hey, remember all the times i was a neo conservative hawk? well, still am. >> how can she preside over a party that's at least 40% socialist? out of the closet socialist when she is the candidate of wall street taking more money from the banks than any other person in the race? how does that work? >> donald trump. >> yes. >> donald trump will help her with those. now, that's why his opportunity is to run left, left, left, left, left, left. get away from republicans who people hate. people hate the republican party. if he wants to have a chance to beat hillary clinton, it's going to be by running to her left on a series of issues and getting away from these republicans who are a toxic asset for him. >> my head is spinning.
you seem grounded amazingly enough. chris stirewalt from d.c. thanks a lot. >> you have a great day. >> you too. is it fair muhammad ali will be remembered for statements as he will for boxing skills. boxes historian steve farhood joins us next with a little perspective on the fighter's life. another pampered hollywood star weighs in on politics. >> if there are multiple simulations, how come we have to be in the one where donald trump becomes the republican nominee for president? [ laughter ] can we like transfer to a different one? let me just say this. >> out of touch rich guy vs. billionaire. the fight continues. stay tuned. can a toothpaste do everything well?

welcome back a fox news alert this morning. we are remembering the life and career of poxing champ muhammad ali who passed away at the age of 74 last night. tributes pouring in this morning. poxing historian joins us now. he covered ali's last two fights. thanks for joining us this morning to give us perspective on the fighter. in his later years was he fighting pause he loved it? because he wanted the money? and how would you rate his performance? >> fame is a drug. i think he was definitely hooked on that he not take care of his money well either. there was that factor as well. he definitely fought too long for his own welfare and health but accomplished a lot even toward the end. >> describe his last two fights for us. >> well, for me i was in my early 20's and i was surrounded by all these writers who ali had taken around the world. he took the term world heavyweight champion to a whole different level because he fought
everywhere. i felt very out of place, very uncomfortable because these writers had special access to ali. he gave them special access. the last fights specifically in nassau the bahamas, you knew it was the end. the word boxing the word retire is over until he boxes again. all the writers and especially the ones who had been around longer than me understood this was never going to happen again there was never going to be an athlete of any kind or for that matter of a public figure of any kind who was quite like muhammad ali. >> obviously a very controversial figure, the 60's refusing to go to vietnam as far as his, later in life, how did he look back at those days? >> really, you know, i view ali as the protagonist in the great american novel. he changed with time. the ali of the 60's was filled with rage and hatred.
he enraged us and shocked us. but, with time, he came to inspire us. and he came to really symbolize love and respect and sympathy. the change from the angry ali of the early and mid 60's was remarkable. he did change and that's one of the reasons that he transcended boxing and was such a fascinating public figure. >> was there a specific pivot point? of course he was a racial segregationist and open about it. was there a moment when he said as malcolm x did i turn away from all that i'm going back on what i thought before or did it just slowly evolve? well in the early and mid 60's there was a tug-of-war between malcolm x and martin luther king with two very different philosophies. with time ali ended up rejecting malcolm x because malcolm x viewed the white man as the devil as he said. ali came to symbolize not just black america but the world entirely the whole
world. that was a beautiful thing as it under out. >> ali was famous for catching people off guard. when you there were as a reporter, did he ever catch you off guard? >> he was so playful. and i remember going on a bus ride, a media bus trip to deer lake in pennsylvania, his camp. and he would sit behind you and he would flick his finger on the back of your ear. and then sit back real quickly. he was just as quick doing that as he was throwing punches. >> you got hit by muhammad ali? >> i got flicked by muhammad ali. if he ever hit me i wouldn't be here now, believe me. it was fantastic to spend a day with him at deer lake because that was where he was really at home. and that was a day i will cherish forever. >> good stuff. steve firewood thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> coming up on the show, state department admit to do deliberately editing this video with james rosen. they have done it again. >> you have seen the trump

critics, i told you all that i was the greatest of all time. >> that's muhammad ali, of course, probably the most famous athletic in the world. remembering him this morning. he has passed away. he died last night at the age of 74 after a long battle with parks parkison's disease. >> 30 years he suffered with that. now world class athletes are reacting to his death. >> i was so overwhelmed i couldn't believe that i met him when i was young. you know, i met muhammad ali. with him touching me, with me shaking hands with muhammad ali, it made me want to go out there and legend. a man that's going to be truly missed. man that i loved. >> adam housley has more this morning on the districts pouring in over social media good morning, adam. >> good morning, guys, yeah. for about 8 hours now we have been monitoring tributes consistent and ongoing. a lot of people on the east coast did not know of the news when they went to bed last night. you mentioned some of the athletes. just about every single major athlete seems like has weighed in, including all
the major sports leagues themselves have weighed in via social media there are a number of hash tags that are trending. some have been retweeted depending what site you are on more than a million times gote greatest of all time. cassius clay and muhammad ali himself. feedback mike tyson tweeted god came came for his champion so long great one. god bless muhammad ali. peace and love to all of his family. that from ringo starr. british prime minister david cameron muhammad ali was not just a chopper i don't know in the ring but champion for so many people. >> madonna this king, this hero, this human words cannot express he shook up the world. god bless him. he continues to come in from all over, lennox lewis the great heavyweight champion himself said a giant among men. ali disprad a greatness and talent and courage most of us will never be able to
truly comprehend; a legend who transcended sport and true champion for all. we also heard from roy jones jr. my heart is deeply saddened both appreciative and relieved the greatest is resting in the greatest place. daughter of coretta cot king thank you, you were a champion in so many ways. rest well. when you monitor social media tone and the statements coming in also officially, you can see the vast and wide area of people all over the world from leaders to sports greats, to people who had no idea what muhammad ali was like in person other than watching him on television. people that had, you know, ten followers for example, to people who had millions of followers. all weighing in on their thoughts about the loss of this great champion. he clearly touched livesry and across the world. imis, we continue to see the
statements come out. we have not heard from the white house. weave do expect to get a statement shortly as the morning moves on. back to you in new york. >> thanks, adam. >> turning to your headlines this morning. throw men have been found guilty of conspiring to join isis. the trio all from minnesota. they're accused of planning to go to syria and conspiring to commit murder. they all now face life in prison. they're among 10 young men accused in the conspiracy. an oil train derails. that's a growing story this morning as well as a murder confession. it could be coming soon. a former friend of o.j. simpson reportedly says he believes the juice is fighting demons and once he is released from a nevada jail he will tell the truth in the 1994 murders of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman. former nfl star is serving time for an unrelated robbery conviction and could be released as early as next year. well, a beautiful moment captured forever. a little girl surprising
several police officers in cedar hill, texas, asking to hold hands and pray with them over their lunch. her father snapping this photo and it's now going viral. the officers posting it on social media saying her prayer was beautiful. and those are your headlines. >> nice to end on a good note there. >> certainly is. >> we will take it down a peg. let's talk about hollywood this morning. matt damon, of course, you know him from goodwill hunting where he won an academy award. he went back to mit for the first time since that movie to give a commencement speech and donald trump was his target. >> so let's say you are graduating from mit and you just spent four years studying electrical engineering and legitimately smart person trying to make the world a better place and for the commencement speech not hocking it's some actor lecture you about politics. that happened. here is what he said. >> if there are multiple simulations how come we have to be in the one where donald trump becomes the republican nominee for
president? [ laughter ] can we transfer to a different one? let me say this to the bankers, specifically the ones who brought you the biggest heist in history. it was theft and you knew it. it was fraud, and you knew it. and i don't know if justice is coming for you in this life or the next, but if justice does come for you in this life, her name will be elizabeth warren. >> how honest do you want to be? a lot of these schools are way less impressive than we pretend they are, mit or yale, impressive. >> matt damon went to harvard and dropped out to pursue acting. background on him. >> that's not impressive. i think you could make a fair critique of wall street, actually. i make it sometimes. but i don't think that was a smart critique, a, and, b, matt damon? they hired him to speak because is he famous and liberal. those aren't relevant criteria. >> hollywood looks to woo these candidates. fly them in all make $200
dinners donate to campaigns who receive a ton of money from wall street. here was stu varney on our show earlier this morning. day monday is damon is not going to real problem. >> lefty celebrity invite to do a prestige just university to spout economic nonsense. a conservative would have been banned from the place in the first place. no, up he gets, he hits the podium and it's all wall street's fault. it's all the bankers. he is flat out wrong. we are in difficult economic times. got nothing to do with what happened eight years ago. it's got nothing to do with wall street or the bankers. it's got everything to do with current economic policy. that's what is dragging us down. and that's what damon will never admit. >> you feel so sorry for all these kids saddled with debt. do you know what i mean? search mad about the college debt that all these kids are carrying. they should be mad. no one ever says to the colleges wait a second why are you charging 60 grand a year for a half rate
education? >> i would love for him to say look i dropped out of college. >> exactly. so good and so true. >> you could save a lot of money and maybe get ahead. won't be saddled with all this debt. come up on the show we are remembering the life of the great muhammad ali. >> everybody stop talking now. attention. i told you, all of my critics, i told you all that i was the greatest of all time. >> geraldo rivera interviewed the boxing legend. look at that video. and he is live next to tell us about it. >> plus, you have seen the riots outside donald trump rallies in california. why aren't the cops doing anything to stop them? do the rioters have any rights? what about the spectators? do they have any rights? bo dietl and arthur aidala are back ahead. ♪ brothers ♪ closer than your next of kin ♪ the best of friends ♪ take a bullet ♪ for each other

remember when the state department admitted to editing this exchange between our own james rosen and a state department spokesperson? well, it's happened again. this time with a press briefing over the iran nuclear deal. garrett tenney is in washington, d.c. with the latest on this story for us. good morning, garrett. >> sandra, good morning. this is quite the coincidence. this new revelation again involves a fox news correspondent asking the administration if it lied to the american public about the iran nuclear deal. at the may 9th white house press briefing our own kevin corke asked josh earnst if any senior administration official had lied publicly about the nuclear deal. here's that question and ernest's initial response. >> you can state categorically that no senior official in this administration has ever lied publicly about any aspect of the iran nuclear deal?
>> no. >> ernest went on to defend the nuclear deal. but, when you look at the white house's official transcript from that briefing, you can see that initial response where he says, no, kevin. is completely left out. a white house official told abc news, which first reported the omission that the line was left out because it was [inaudible]. though you can clearlier that in the video. this latest incident is just the second time in the last few weeks the obama administration has been found altering the public record regarding the iran nuclear deal. the state department admitted this week that an official ordered part of a 2013 press briefing to be deleted from the department's website and youtube channel. that deleted part included an admission by then spokeswoman jen psaki that the government had lied about its negotiations with iran and came in response from questions from our own james rosen. in paris yesterday, secretary of state john kerry called that decision to edit that video out
stupid, columnsy, and inappropriate. he said he didn't think that kind of person should be working for him. congress is now getting involved as well. several lawmakers are calling on the state department inspector general to investigate the incident. the inspector general's office have said they have not determined whether or not they will do that at this time. sandra? >> all right, garrett teny, thank you. all right, tucker over to you. >> thanks, san draft it's an ugly scene in northern california this week. hundreds of protesters caught on camera swarming donald trump supporters. rioters, throwing bottles, waving a mexican flag. one woman was cornered and egged. why does san jose welcome illegal immigrants famously but not trump supporters and more to the point why aren't police doing more? here to weigh in fox news contributor bo dietl and fox news legal analyst are arthur aidala one the most famous cop and defense attorney decide who is who.
great to see you both, gentlemen. >> good to be back. >> you are the cop. why aren't police jumping n the face of a riot? >> you know, watching this the other day when they were sucker punching kids walking there, we have a freedom of expression in america. you want to know something? that's the reason why donald trump is going to win because is he going to be democrats and republicans together. half of them were i will locally immigrants. burning the american flag. they are assaulting kids walking there because they have trump shirts on this. young lady with a trump shirt gets hit with eggs. the cops dom com out there. i'm a big supporter blue lives matter. that chief of police says we didn't want to take any action because we didn't want to cause any more problems, well, shame on you. you should have stopped that from happening. there is no reason in the world people are expressing with the support of donald trump to get assaulted like that? damn you, they should have been arrested. they should get the videotapes and lock up those half of those illegal aliens anyway. lock them up for assault. >> isn't this an attack on
the idea of impartial justice? i mean, nobody can protester's right to protest. nobody can assault other people. >> other thing that people don't think of is the protesters. there is a large portion of them who are obeying the law. who are protesting legally. >> yeah. >> they want the person who punches someone in the face arrested. that makes them look bad. they don't want -- they want to protest peacefully. that's a large portion of them. and then there is a couple of schmucks, a couple of jerks. we don't want to be affiliated with these jerks. >> law enforcement serves at the pleasure of politicians. >> no, no, they serve at the pleasure of the people. >> in effect, they are controlled by politicians. >> new york city, big bird got elected because he said bill bratton is going to be my police commissioner before he was elected. that helped him. >> let the demonstrators close the streets down. people going home from work they couldn't. >> he did it once.
>> he opened up the environment for that punk from baltimore the new york city cop. >> when a politician says, look, i like this brand of protest, don't get in their way, what are they thinking. >> politicians should stay the hell out of it. when you break the law. when you got a guy that comes in with bag of rocks hits that man in the head. bleeding. why wasn't that guy arrested? >> you can't assault people. >> that mayor of san jose, should be -- you know what he should do? get the civil rights charges lawyer against him for why those people weren't able to demonstrate and let their free expression. >> why i say they serve the people is you know what won't happen? the electorate in san jose won't come out and vote that mayor out of office. they won't make their voices heard. they are not -- by it. >> doesn't society fall apart when political demagogues say you have to follow this law but not this law? >> 100 percent. and that is illegal, by the way. >> yes. >> the selective
prosecution. we are going to charge this person with this crime and this other person who does the same thing we are not going to charge with a crime. >> people who vote for me don't have to follow the law is basically what they are saying. >> point in case in new york city, we have this socialist mayor here that's going to be voted out because i tell you what, before he gets voted mayor, i will vote for [inaudible] [bell] >> listen to me, this mayor has destroyed this city and took the heart and soul out of our police officers. >> hard to say that when crime is still at his lowest rate. >> you are a statistician. >> no, i'm a bill bratton guy. i like commissioner bratton. >> just made news. bo dietl is running for the mayor of new york. >> i will tell you what i would do. i would keep bill bratton but i would formulate him to come back to the real world of life instead of listening to this socialist mayor. >> we still have the safest city. >> going to be running your campaign speeches live here on fox. thank you for joining us as
always. >> i'm safe in new york. >> coming up when madeleine albright said this about women, remember, women who don't back hillary clinton? >> remember, there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.

reports, kelly blue book. >> so always a good idea to know what you want. >> some cars are better than others. so start there. but then make sure you're going to an authorized dealer. it's a nice idea to buy it from someone off the street, but you're much better off going to an actual car dealership. you will be more protected. >> so an authorized dealer is key. >> correct. >> so not a good idea to go to somebody's couch who has a information sale sign on the windshield? >> you're taking on a lot of the risk that way. if you buy from the dealer, you have the federal trade commission guide behind you. >> and you always want to take it for a test drive, right? >> yeah, when you take it for a test drive, it's not just taking a spin around the block. >> because you get in the car and you're like what do i do, i'm kind of just driving. what are you looking for? >> and if someone is in the car with you, you might feel nervous taking it through all the paces.

♪ a sad day as the world says good-bye to the greatest of all-time, know ham hmohammauham boxer passing away last night at the hospital after being admitted with respiratory complications. >> the last 30 years or so, he battled against parkinson's disease. >> he was a record three-time heavyweight boxing champion of the world, he was 74 when he died in scottsdale, arizona. matt will be outside the hospital in scottsdale where he has spent the past few days. >> reporter: somber here in arizona in front of the hospital where the boxing great passed away. we saw people coming and going, people leaving behind mementos,
candles. there was a strong presence of security, almost a dozen security guards here. that has since diminished. we also ran into a long time friend of ali, knew him personally for 35 years. take a listen to what he told us a short while ago. >> he still had all the charisma, all the swagger up until the very he said. he really did. on top of what was going on. still very sharp. i just think this was something that was unexpected and for maybe the first time this his life, know he couldn't get off the mat. >> reporter: he will be buried in his hometown of louisville, kentucky. and there will be a briefing here in arizona where we expect to learn much more information about the funeral arrangements for muhammad ali. back to you in new york. >> thanks, matt.
geraldo rivera had a chance to sit down and interview muhammad ali. i want to play this clip and roll back the years. and we'll come out and get your sense of this. >> have you ever thought of politics? >> i've made a few statements, but, no, i don't see no reason why i want to be president. too much headache, too much trouble. and i don't think that i would make it. >> what was it like interviewing him? >> he was self-aware. >> he was a brilliant man, no doubt about it. sad dnews day. the program called me and said hustled in. we didn't expect it. >> i'm sorry, is that you? >> yeah that eat two of us. excuse the short shorts and the socks. but that's what i looked like back then. this was after the second
frazier fight just before the thriller in manila, the fight that ali and joe frazier went at in a way that was so intense, he said they both went in as champions, they came out at old men. it was a vicious, vicious fight. but he was so important particularly i mean spans the generations, but we're almost the same age. six months older than i. he was so important. he defined the '60s in many ways. he was the first of the crossover black power -- not black power in the militant sense, but of black is power, black is beautiful. he rejected christianity, adopted islam as his religion, changed his name from cassius
clay to muhammad ali. and took the title beating sonny liston in a way that -- he had a reputation of being undefeatable. >> how did he join islam, seamlessly transitioned from the outer fringes of american society to the center. how did he do that? >> remember, this was a period of great urban chaos. there was the worst race relations you could possibly imagine. not only the civil rights movement, but the anti-war movement and the collision of these great social forces. and here was this man, this intelligent man, this bold and flamboyant man, but the person who absolutely defied expectatio expectations. he's maybe the greatest athlete of the 20th century. and so people could relate to him even though he was convicted
for dodging the draft and ultimately the united states supreme court reversed that conviction, but he lost almost four years during his prime fighting, you know, period. but he came back and he lost to frazier in that ep epic bout in1 and then beat frazier in the second fight and then the third fight that absolutely wrecked them both, one of the greatest fights of all-thieime. but he was so approachable. everyone knew him. i kind of took over for howard cosell to whom ali went for promotional events. but the fact that he was with the nation of islam or changed his name became almost irrelevant to the fact that he was our friend, he was so conscientious, he was willing to
risk everything, to sacrifice so much. he was a secular saint in many ways. i really mean that. but he was not a perfect man. like me, had a checkered domestic history, nine children from three or four women, i forget home, but a wonderful deep hearted compassionate person who cared deeply for the youngsters. throughout the world, he was the most famous man on earth. >> i also like how you say like me, he had a checkered past. >> and we also want to get your take on politics because there is the chaos ensuing in california. protests getting violent. the question being asked are the democrats doing enough to denounce this violence. >> he set a very bad example. he created an environment in which it seemed to be acceptable for someone running for president to be inciting
violence, to be encouraging his supporters. now we're seeing people who are against him responding in kind. it should all stop. it is not acceptable. >> frankly, i honestly believe and i really believe this, i think that hillary clinton is unfit to lead our country certainly at this time. i don't like his temperament, i don't like his -- well, let me tell you, there is nobody with a better temperament than me. i have a temperament for winning. i've won all my life and we're going to start winning for you. >> shoot democrats denounce this violence that we've seen? >> i think a lot of things. and hear me out for a second because i'll kind of back into the most important question good b. quelli about quelling the violence. trump did a terrible thing by singling out the judge curiel as a mexican and refusing to admit he was born in indiana.
it's a dangerous precedent and provocation that is really inexcusable. and he should back off it right now. and i say that from a man who i love him will, i care deeply for trump and his family. his -- i predicted he would be the nominee way back in early july. i has to be far more responsible or he will divide the nation. these protestors in san jose yesterday and marking the trump campaign as he goes around the country are reckless, irresponsible and counter productive. they will bring about the end result that they protest to loath. they will elect donald trump with their violence, with their anarchy, with their selfish self indulgent violence. it is absolutely counterproductive and it will
achieve exactly the result they profess to resent. they must stand down. now, are the candidates on either side doing enough? absolutely tnot. this is unforgivable. i'll be covering cleveland for fox and friends and i anticipate disruption outside p. the democrats the next weekphil disruption outside. what these people really are seeking, and you remember back to the g7 and g-20 protests in seattle and so forth, it is disruption for the sake of anarchy and self-fulfillment. it is not tbringing about any just result. >> i rarely say this, but i agree with what you just said. all of it. >> we should call the presses. we have to turn now to some of the headlines this morning. it's 9:10 on the east coast.
let's start with the fox news alert. the death toll climbing to nine now after finding the bodies of four more soldiers swept away in texas floods. only three of 12 men surviving the tragic accident at ft. hood. a 2 1/2 ton truck overturning during a training exercise. the three men who survived were released from the lohospital on friday. we're still waiting for the army to release the names of those who died. police in massachusetts are on high alert after a man threatens to kill officers on twitter. the man posting a video of himself cursing and yelling at police after getting frustrated by an ambulance on his way to work. the man believes the ambulance was sent by police to mess with him and he threatened to kill officers saying it's just a matter of time. the scariest part of it all, the man considers all fire and ems personnel as police creating an even bigger danger. a judge ordering the man who set up hillary clinton's controversial e-mail servers to
prove he has an immunity deal with the justice department. bryan pagliano planning to plead the fifth during a dep circumstance but now has to prove he has rationale to do so. meanwhile madeleine albright making light of the e-mail scandal saying it never put american lives in danger. >> first of all, the e-mail, she said she made a mistake and nobody will die as a result of anything that happened on e-mail. >> albright says what does concern her is donald trump saying he admires putin. and those your headlines. coming up here, mainstream plead i can't celebrated hillary clinton's foreign policy speech. >> donald trump's ideas aren't just different. they are dangerously incoherent. >> what do the voters think? lee carter gives us the dial treatment next.
plus we continue our morning long coverage of the passing of muhammad ali with evander holyfield. he joins us just ahead. today i'm still the greatest of all time. never again twedefeat me, never again make me the underdog until i'm about 50 years old. then you might get me. before i had the shooting, burning of diabetic nerve pain, these feet learned the horn from my dad and played gigs from new york to miami. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away
if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. ask your doctor about lyrica.
>> so hillary went after trump's temperament in probably the most widely replayed sound bite. in case you haven't seen it, here it is. >> donald trump as commander in chief would be a historic mistake and it would undo so much of the work that republicans and democrats alike have done over many decades to make america vostronger and mor secure. it would set back our standing in the world more anything in recent him other and it would fuel an ugly narrative about who we are. >> so what was the response to that? >> i think it's fascinating to watch because it's not surprising democrats loved it, it was off the charts. >> among democrats. >> among democrats. independents and republicans were turned off completely. they gave it an "f." they said while it might be true, i'm not sure hillary will be any better and she's almost
as uncertain as donald trump is. >> so when people on the fence, she's not credible. >> that's right. >> and donald trump responded of course and here's part of what he said. >> crooked hillary said, donald trump, his finger on the button -- i'm the one that didn't want to go into iraq, folks. and she's the one that stupidly raised her hand to go into iraq and destabilize the entire middle east. >> interesting he's kind of hitting her for being the warmonger, i'm not. >> it was really fascinating. this didn't get up as high as it often does when he goes on the attack. but what people said is he has permission to go back after her, it's actually quite a good argument when you think about it. if you're saying that he's the one that will be crazy, i don't want him in charge, but she was the one that supported something that a lot of people are against how. it made people reconsider him, but still not as good as some of the other attacks. >> do you ever get dials where
democrats and republicans agree on things? >> yes. it happens rarely, but it does happen. >> so then trump went on to call hillary a cynic. here it is. >> i think we do even better in november because we'll take a lot of people from the democrats. i mean, i watched hillary today, it was pathetic. supposed to be a foreign policy speech, it was a political speech. >> this was interesting because people agreed, you can see both republicans and independents agreed that he will take a lot of people from the independents and from the left. so that was something that they agreed with. but you could see the dip when he started to call her pathetic. just a little bit extreme. so this one b-aminus, republicans. "f" on the democrat side. we haven't seen this much direct combat between the two. >> on the occasion when trump takes time to rebut with specifics, how do those comments do? >> they generally do well.
when he comes back swinging, people are like that's who he is and they like it, they like that he's addressing the issues and not hiding from them. >> interesting. >> it is really interesting. >> thanks for joining us. well, coming up, michelle obama gave her final commencement address as first lady the other day and it was not surprisingly very political. >> we don't give into our fierce. we don't build up walls to keep people out. >> we don't build up walls except around the house i live in, the white house. it was a shot at donald trump. we'll tell you more about what she said, stay tuned for that. plus a story sparking outrage. firemen called terrorists because they dared to put an american flag on their truck in america. the brother of the next guest was killed saving lives on september 11th and he says the firefighters are not terrorists. you'll hear from him in just a second. this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin.
this is my body of proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the number #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. 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 you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. want more proof? ask your rheumatologist about humira. what's your body of proof?
a rhode island city official sparking outrage forcing its firefighters to remove american flags from their fire trucks, claiming makes them look like terrorists. the official claims the trucks looked, quote, like isis in syria going to take over a city. i don't think they need that big flag on the back of the truck. that's not america to me, those are a bunch of terrorists. that city official later walked back those comments following some public backlash and firefighters now have permission to fly the flag from their truck. joining me now is chairman of the tunnel to towers foundation, his brother was killed while saving lives on 9/11. it's good to have you here, frank. we're continually sorry for the loss of your brother. how does this story make you
feel? >> well, you know, you see america upside down sometimes. it just drives me crazy that our first responders put their lives on the line for us every single day and they want to show their patrioti patriotism, that america is great and they want the flag flying to show the respect. >> hard to understand where they're coming in from this. we had david gorman speaking on behalf of the firefighters there this morning. here was his reaction to the comparison of those firemen to terrorists. listen. >> i don't know what a reason would be to call first responders terrorists at all. we've been berated like this for the last couple years and this is just another attempt to attack us. but to resort to terrorist and isis and those comments, this t. makes military vets and the guys behind me very upset. there are a lot of brave men and women that laid their lives down for us to fly that flag.
>> not the only has the fire district chairman for called for the flags to be removed walked back but he's hired a pr spokesman, the community has spoken out against this. i think everyone listening to this story sits back and says i don't get it. i don't understand. how can this be happening in america some. >> it's crazy and it gets firefighters and police officers and military personnel who put their lives on the line outraged. a great artist goes around the country painting flags on the sides of building to let them know that they're not forgotten about. people have died so we can fly our flag. and to say that firefighters can't put it on their trucks, and the most iconic picture on 9/11, one of them, was the firefighters raising the american flag at ground zero. and that is displayed on one of the fire trucks in new york city. so, you know, we should wake up. the ones who want to display it,
we should not let people like this get away with it p. >> what does it mean to you, someone who lost someone directly in 9/11, a direct family member, who was putting his life on the line, what does it mean when you see the american flag flying on those american trucks? >> i love seeing it. i love this country. i love what my brother did on september 11, 2001 and all the over first responders that ran towards what was going on, they gave their lives. and to display it, they have the right to display it. they above everybody. we all do as americans, but they should be able to display wherever they want. >> we have to leave it there, but do you think the city official should be shown the door? >> absolutely. he should be thrown out and no questions asked. this guy is unamerican. >> good to get your reaction, frank. thank you. a fox news alert, breaking details just ahead. plus sparks are flying between
hillary clinton and donald trump on the campaign trail. new poll numbers suggest she should get focused on bernie sanders before she moves on to trump. we're live in california next. and our coverage of muhammad ali's passing continues with another boxing legend coming up next. don't let dust and allergies get between you and life's beautiful moments. with flonase allergy relief, they wont. when we breathe in allergens, our bodies react by over producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. most allergy pills only control one substance. flonase controls six. flonase outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. so you can seize those moments, wherever you find them. flonase. six is greater than one changes everything.
all-time is in the room, everyone knows who you mean. quite a claim to make. but as mohammuhammad ali once s it's not bragging if you can back it up. >> our viewers this morning reacting to the passing of muhammad ali who passed away last night he at the age of 74. an e-mail september in, was and he controversial figure? yes. was and he ledge endear boxer? yes. rest in place. >> that sums it up. he was a flawed person like everybody, but he was truly a great boxer. >> and he offended others. the list is extensive. >> and it appears that abe met him. he writes in i met mohammad al lid back in the late '70s, early '80s. he was the nicest most gentle man i've ever met. >> i believe that.
he had that vibe. and john writes muhammad ali was the greatest, his passing is a sad loss. >> keep sending in your comments. we want to turn now to the campaign trail. we're only a few days away from the california primary, the battle between democrats heating up to clinch the golden state. p. >> and hillary clinton's looking ahead and taking aim at donald trump, but he's firing back at her attack. >> so what in the world is going on? we have mike emanuel here from santa monica to explain it. >> good morning. hillary clinton says donald trump constantly attacks trying to distract people, trying to get them to look at shiny objects. last night clinton the attacked trump on his economic ideas. >> when i hear donald trump talk about cutting taxes on billionaires, i say to myself, hey, wait a minute, fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on us.
>> trump is also actively campaigning out here in the golden state. he really wants to put the golden state into play in the general election in the fall. he's also doing some very critical fund raising. last night in redding he blasted clinton saying if voters choose her, this country will die. >> hillary clinton is totally scripted. hillary clinton is a thief. and hillary clinton should be in jail. only problem is i'd like to run against her. >> and then there is bernie sanders who is going all out campaigning relentlessly here in california. he continues doing rallies and news conferences up and down the golden state. sanders says he has an excellent chance to win here and is using his moment in the spotlight to push clinton on environmental issues. >> a tax on carbon. and i would urge secretary clinton to change her view and
support me in demanding a tax on carbon. >> it promises to be another action packed day on the campaign trail in hillary clinton with time running short ahead tuesday night's primary. we have a foggy start here in santa monica. back to you in new york. >> and he's going to force her to back a tax on carbon. stuff like that, does it make it hard for her to win in the fall. and now to headlines. a warning for americans in south africa, terrorists are planning attacks on popular are areas there, particularly shopping centers and malls. congress is trying foul over the department of justice coming to the rescue of a v.a. official after at least 40 veterans died
on her watch. sharon helman after being terminated is being allowed to appeal the decision. >> she's the poster child for what is wrong with the v.a., yet she continues to insist that she was somehow wrongfully removed. this is the same white house that loves to shred the constitution. >> that was reaction earlier this morning. helman was originally fired for taking gifts like beyonce concert tickets while vets allegedly died while waiting for their treatment. first lady michelle obama and actor matt damon taking aim at donald trump during two different commencement speeches. >> and here in america, we don't give into our fears. we don't build up walls to keep people out. some folks out there today seem to have a very different perspective.
they seem to view our diversity as a threat to be contained fp. >> and damon got very political in his commencement address, as well, after his big return to m.i.t. since his good will hunting. he took shots at donald trump as well as wall street. >> if there are multiple simulations, how come we have to be in the one where donald trump becomes the republican nominee for president. can we like transfer to a different one? let me just say this to the bankers, specifically the ones who brought you the biggest heist in history, it was theft and you knew it. it was fraud and you knew it. and i don't know if justice is coming for you in this life or the next, but if justice does come for you in this life, her name will be elizabeth warren. >> for the record damon was the first hollywood star to give the commencement address at m.i.t. in 17 years. and enough is enough. one australian man is calling
foul on the use of guys to describe a group of people. >> when it comes to words that work, we've all got to walk the talk. >> the diversity council australia says getting rid of the word in a working environment will help create more diverse thinking and help people become more productive and respected. >> because banning words increases gdp, we know that. this is a basic economic principle. if you publish people for using the wrong word, you become rich. >> rick became far more effective in covering the weather here when we stopped tossing to him. >> i would have a hard time with this because i would never be able to remember who is on the other side of the camera. you know what i mean? >> just guys back to you. >> guys back to you. like is sandra is in for anna b sometimes i forget.
>> you need a manual. >> exactly. hey, let's take a look at the weather going on this morning. we'll show you what is up. we have rain across the center stripe of the country. western great lakes down to the south including southeastern texas which has had way too much of it obviously and all the flooding. more rain today and tomorrow, but it will be isolated just to parse out the eastern texas and then we dry out for much of the coming week. severe weather ohio valley, a few tornados where you see the orange bull's-eye. hurricane season began this week, and you see that blob of moisture there across western caribbean, that will pull off towards the north into the eastern gulf and as it does, about an 80% chance that it will develop into some sort of a tropical system and impact florida monday and tuesday primarily bringing a lot of rain. so get ready for potential flooding there. one last story quickly, get ready for the heat across the
dez tsert southwest. 117 in death valley. >> that's why they call it death valley. can't say you weren't warned. >> wear a heat. >> it's a dry heat. coming up, the worst jobs report in six years the question is do the numbers spell trouble for hillary clinton. we'll be back to break them down in detail. coming up, the worst jobs what's it like to be in good hands? like finding new ways
to be taken care of. home, car, life insurance obviously, ohhh... but with added touches you can't get everywhere else, like claim free rewards... or safe driving bonus checks. even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee! in means protection plus unique extras only from an expert allstate agent. it's good to be in, good hands. some quick headlines now for you. love your crocs? turns out they may be bad for your health. one doctor says they can don't secure your heel correctly, so your toes could get tendonitis or even deformities from gripping the shoe. and that comes on the heels of the other story remember where
people were getting stuck is this escalators is this and how would you like a beer pipeline under your town. people inthis and how would you like a beer pipeline under your town. people in belgium soon will have their own favorite brew piped directly from their breweries to their bottling plant. the best part, residents who help pay for it get the beer delivered to their door every day. that's amazing, bruge. newest job report show as record low of just 38,000 jobs added in the month of may making it the softest month for hiring since september of 2010. it also marks the weakest pace since obama took office. do the numbers spell trouble for hillary clinton. joining us to break it down is professor and chairman of the program and business finance at the kings college right here in manhattan. brian, thanks for joining us. so give us some perspective on these numbers.
>> these are really, really wba numbers. it puts us into the darkest days of the aftermath of the recession. that's really not the feeling that president obama wants to be giving to hillary clinton as he hands it off to her. it will be a problem for her because you see a huge number of workers working part-time involuntarily, increase of people who drop out of the labor force. that's a real issue for the economy because people aren't getting the jobs they want and in some cases just say i'm giving up. >> americans who can work but can't working is the slowest point since the carter administration. >> and you talk about why do people feel frustrated. president obama was talking about hey, the economy is better than we think, but when you see the numbers, you have to say really? will people are dropping out -- half a million dropped off the labor force. so many stuck in part-time jobs. that's really what people are experiencing.
and i think that's why they're frustrated with the economy. >> we have a bunch of economists together to figure out how to measure the unemployment rate, we would not use the same criteria. >> no, the number in the headlines is 4.7%. in fact the past month the unemployment rate falls. but the reason it falls is because people give up looking for work. >> so this is a phony measurement p. where do we continue to use this? >> we interpret it in a phony way. it shows you what it shows you, but it doesn't telling you how many people don't have jobs. if you want to get the real unemployment rate, you look at how many people don't have jobs, how many people are stuck this jobs that they don't want, and you look at people who have said i'm giving up entirely. when you look at that number, it's a little closer to 10%. that gives and yof s auand you perspective and that full has not come down as much as we would like to. >> the unemployment rate, the official one leased by the executive branch of government
is an easy way for lazy hamath illiterate reporters to come up with a statement of. why don't we go with that? >> because i think the labor market is complicated. you have to look at a couple different measures to understand what is going on. the problem is you can't get that in in two minutes. and that sort of makes sense. what we have to do is dig beneath the numbers and talk about how many people are stuck in part time job, how many people have dropped out of the labor force. when we do that, people start to get the big picture and they say, aah, that headline is not right, now i understand why things don't feel well because the full set of data does actually tell me things aren't going as well as people are telling me. >> and they don't feel well as you've put it. people are anxious about the economy. >> absolutely. and you can't tell people that you shouldn't feel so bad about the economy. they experience it, they see it in their paychecks, their bank accounts, their community, the jobs that are available to them. so the economy is something we experience. we feel it.
it's not a theory issue right now. it's an actual lived out problem and i think that is what the president is missing as he's out on the campaign trail telling people, hey, feel better, it's better than you think it is. >> meanwhile a small group of people has their own airplane and that causes resentment. some people have gten very rich. >> no question about that. >> brian, great to see you. >> always good to be here. still ahead, favorite memories of muhammad ali and some of your e-mails, as well. >> i'm so fast i make medicine sick, i'm so fast i can run through a hurricane and don't get wet. he'll pay his debt. i can drown a drink of water and kill a dead tree. wait until you see muhammad ali. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo.
once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com.
nine kids. his real wealth. >> brian kilmeade spent a long time following muhammad ali. he joins us now. >> guys, just amazing. i am stunned to see, because for 10, 15 years we haven't seen much of the muhammad ali. just appearances because of parkinson's. as you see the footage and understand what the country went through in the '60s and '70s and you saw what he did in the ring. tucker, i thought about you. you are not a sports fan. this is so little about boxing and more about societal impact. he made everybody feel great about themselves. he was nonstop exploring religion, the meaning of life. and he probably was the most famous person on the planet through most of his adult life. it wasn't just because of was champion. >> brian, we haven't talked much about it at all this morning. his relationship with howard cosell. you as a broadcaster love of
sports and a sports broadcaster in your heart. talk about that relationship with him and howard cosell. i don't think we'll ever see something like that ever again. >> mutual respect number one. two, cosell was extremely talented and arrogant and ali was pretending to be arrogant and he was talented. these guys were self-perpetuating marketing machines. they would sell fights, sell issues. they would sell campaigns. they would get you so pumped up for an event or a fight, make it seem bigger than life. where celebrities had to be a part of it. where corporate america wanted to be a part of it, and they sold it. they sold it almost like an act. one would interview the other. the other would show outrage. together they would build a soap apra. i have never seen anything like that. every single league and every athlete owes their marketing
power to muhammad ali. he made it more than sports. >> brian, we have been talking to people who knew him and knew him well all morning. they had amazing things to say about his evolvement from the '60s through the decades that followed. when he was asked what he hopes his legacy will be, aside from jokingly saying that he hopes to be remembered as being pretty, and at the very least one of the best athletes that ever lived, he wanted to be remembered as being a good person and doing good for other people. and it's interesting we have heard a lot of that sentiment from people who knew him on the couch this morning. >> absolutely. the times i met him, he always had the bible with him and the cokoran with him. he was always trying to explore the meaning of life. he would have been the bridge, sadly, between islam and america. he would have been that bridge. he could explain it, understood the koran. sadly he lost his power of speech and persuasion. his last 20 years, on every
level, must have been a slow torture for him. all his gifts were being slowly taken away. in a way i am almost relieved that he no longer has to deal with this type of pain and frustration on a daily basis. you're going to see it. you'll really understand it the more we see the reflections back on his life. great point. >> in ten seconds as a sports guy, was he really the greatest fighter, do you think, of the 20th century? >> no question. he took light heavyweight quills and brought them to the heavyweight division. lost three years of his sports life when he was banned and was still great. unequivocally. >> thanks, brian. >>at more "fox & friends" in tw minutes. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. super poligrip is part of my life now.
