problem. ed: officially here congratulations. picking up an award. pete drove all the way to be there. pete: he had got an interview. jedediah: i wasn't there i was with salon. i have an excuse. pete: mother's day is next weekend. jedediah: might be a surprise from salons. you never know. ed: we have a fox news alert. breaking overnight. a plane carrying 143 people out of guantanamo bay slid off a runway and into a river in jacksonville, florida. jedediah: 21 people have minor injuries. officials calling it a miracle saying it could be much worse. pete: back street boys fan aishah with us this morning. >> boeing says they are providing technical assistance now at the request of the ntsb which has now sent a team to the scene to start investigating. this boeing 737 charter flight you are looking at right there is operated by miami air international. it was en route from guantanamo bay, cuba and landing at naval air station jacksonville, that's a military airport at the jacksonville naval complex. now, officials say the plane slid off the runway and went right into the st. john's river. the jacksonville sheriff's office says the plane landed in shallow water but was not submerged. 21 adults were transported to local hospital according to a tweet by the sheriff's office here. they were transported by jackson fire and rescue. all of them are listed in good condition. no critical injuries. over 80 fire and rescue members responded to this. amazing response and work j jfrd #team work. unfortunately we are hearing that there were some pets on board. they have not yet been retrieved this morning because of safety issues with the aircraft. overall though officials breathing a sigh of relief. it is a miracle. we could be talking about a different story this evening. there is a lot to say, you know, about the professionalism of the folks that helped the passengers off the airplane. it very well could be worse. jedediah: so here's what we know about the plane. it's called the rotator. it's a charter flight that fairies military personnel contractors and military members on and off the bases. jacksonville mayor says teams were working overnight to contain fuel spilling into the water there and is he getting a lot of support. he tweeted this. earlier in the evening the @ real donald trump white house called to help as the situation was developing. and, guys, listen to this. you won't believe this, jacksonville fire and rescue ironically their special operations team had just trained for an incident just like this one with their marine units earlier in the day. can you believe that? ed: wow. what an amazing coincidence. glad they did. thank you, aishah. pete: i served in guantanamo bay for a year i have taken flights like that. smaller puddle jumpers going in and out for leave when they're moving a lot of people they will do that quite regularly. listen the runway at gitmo is great. the runway in jacksonville is great. something must have gone wrong and we are hoping everything is okay. jedediah: can i make may plea to get though the animals out of cargo immediately? they shouldn't be in there to begin with. it's not good conditions. we don't need them overheating and suffocating please get the animals out of cargo. absolutely. ed: we knew jedediah would say that. boeing also a had some problems. we will dig in deeper this hour. former former assistant secretary of transportation be here at 6:30 a.m. eastern time. we will dig in deeper on that. big news. pete: big news the economy is roaring. the cover of the "new york post" this morning says america's working. lowest jobless rate since 196 the. here is the april's job report they talked about it yesterday on "fox & friends" brian, steve and ainsley. job number greater than expected. 263,000 jobs added in april alone. unemployment rate 3.6%. that's the lowest since both the jets and the mets won the world series. ed: a long time. jedediah: the standout to me was wage growth average hourly wages up. average wages hit $27.77. pretty fantastic. and as we have been having this conversation for a long time about the economy. the question is how will democrats run against a booming economy with policies that will do the exact opposite of what this has generated. pete: we were told for so long the slow down was coming. instead it's accelerated that wage number $27.77 an hour. i know not everyone makes that but if you have got democrats running around saying we want the government to set what companies should pay people at $15 an hour and the contract says how about we just grow our economy so businesses are competing for workers and wages rise organically, that's always way more healthy and the president has delivered on that. jedediah: he sure has. ed: you know the president has delivered when cnn poll says approved his handling of the economy 56%. disapprove 41%. no opinion 3%. well, someone who has an opinion is larry kudlow, of course, a close advisor to the president inside the white house. and he said this is now far beyond anyone's expectations. watch. >> president trump's policies to rebuild the economy have put us into a powerful prosperity boom. and there is no end in sight. let's not make this any harder than it needs to be. low tax rates, regulatory roll back. energy openings, trade reforms, growth, growth, growth, growth. that's what you got going here. pete: yeah. it's unprecedented what we are seeing right now especially because inflation usually expect inflation and other indices to start rising. inflation historic lows very manageable level. if you are an opponent of this president right now and trying to put together an economic message -- we talked about this earlier -- all the statements put out by democrats yesterday yeah it all looks good but, you know, it's like -- people aren't believing the but part of it because they see this and people are benefiting. business is booming. jedediah: yeah. they are also not living the but support of it. they are living the reality. i always say if you have more money in your pocket if you got a raise. if you have kept your job. if you have gained your job. if you can send your kid to summer camp or buy that extra gift for your kid's birthday. that's what translates to people. there is only 3% in that survey when asked about the economy that had no opinion. that's because it's a lead issue for everyone. if you don't have money in your pocket, you don't have the time as someone who didn't have money in her pocket for a long time i can tell you don't have time to start thinking about other issues and climate change and all that stuff on the left that folks talk about. if you are broke, broke comes first. ed: poor russia. something like that. you want to feel it in your bones. obviously you remember what james carville said in 1992 it's the economy, stupid. what's what bill clinton said. the economy is very strong and could be good for president trump. the democratic frontrunner joe biden served in the obama-biden administration when they had a much different approach to the economy. and i if you will remember a couple years ago joe biden said there is no way can you turn it around like this. you will need a magic wand. >> he is going to bring all these jobs back. well, how exactly are you going to do that? what are you going to do? he just says i'm going to negotiate a better deal? well, how -- how exactly are you going to negotiate that? what magic wand do you have and usually the answer is he doesn't have answer. ed: maybe he has an answer now one and two the key part president obama was talking about at that time you can't bring back the manufacturing jobs. they are gone. never coming back. here we are just a few years later they're coming back. jedediah: i wonder if joe biden should put on a sign obama's wing man as you just pointed. i think that can work for him. pete: i thought that was eric holder. he was obama's wing man. talking about the attorney general stuff. talk about construction jobs 33,000 added. government jobs 27,000. but manufacturing jobs also up in this report. he said where's your magic wand bat that bing, bat that boom. here it is. when and belief big things happen. mark theefn was on this than earlier talking about why this economy is bad news for obama-biden. >> this is great news for america and very bad news for joe biden. the biggest economic problem we have in america right now is that there are more job openings today than unemployed people to fill them. when joe biden says are you feeling it? yes the people feeling it most are the forgotten americans, because manufacturing jobs, half a million manufacturing jobs created in the last year and wages for those people under the "wall street journal" raised wages for those at the bottom without a high school education rose 6% which is outpacing everybody else. joe biden's rationale for his campaign is i'm going to go win back the forgotten americans in states that voted for trump like ohio, michigan and wisconsin. ed: tells you he is not going to have a magic wand and turn back the economy. and also told you he will not win women in 2020. we know about the money pouring in. bit of a surprise and good news for the president. jedediah: 2020 donations from the first quarter of 2019, gillibrand 1,275,135. kamala harris 3,661,680. and third is president trump at 1,473,830. these are women donations. these are donations so everyone that's out there on the left making the talking point that women are answer thanti-trumpor trump is anti-wo. issue that drives everyone to the polls is jobs and the economy. that is number one. women are working their small business. they are running those businesses. they are feeding their families, they are working two or three jobs sometimes to put food on the table. that economy is booming right now. that's where that comes from. pete: there are culture warriors. they see what's happening in our schools and our churches and elsewhere and they look at this president willingness to focus on patriotism, so jobs and the economy are big. but they look at what the left represents today and they see someone in trump who is willing to defend the founding principles of our nation. free speech, the second amendment. women vote on that stuff, too. ed: how do democrats make their case when there is a strong economy for the president we have a strong sound bite for elizabeth warren we will play it in a while. will the media give the president credit on the economy? [email protected]. no one was covering the economy last night. jedediah: headlines for you in the 6:00 a.m. beginning with a fox news alert. at least four people are hurt when a factory suddenly explodes overnight.

we will find out soon enough. pete: president trump hailing a "new york times" report that admits finally two and a half years later that at least two spies infiltrated his 2016 campaign. but could there have been more?

joining me now former sent a director of the fbi's training division mark morgan. good morning, mark. >> good morning. ed: bill barr said under oath before congress there was spying in the 2016 campaign and there was a collective freakout in washington. now even the "new york times" is saying yeah, basically there was spying. >> right, ed, it's just a distraction. it's kind of like is it a physical barrier or a wall. spying, okay, so you can see it the use of investigative covert techniques to further counterintelligence investigation or you could call it spying. tomato, tomato. the point is the fbi had the authority and the legal authority to do just that, to spy to use covert tactics. that's not the issue. the issue is was it done appropriately under the legal framework and within the department of justice policy? that's the question. that's what nunes was talking about. that's what barr is talking about. what's the oversight. it's correct. ed: let's go through some of the key players and understand from you as a former fbi officials who we'll get these answers. george papadopoulos, of course, was approached by this woman who he says was flirting with him back in 2016 and trying to get information. he felt like maybe it was entrapment. you see the key players on the screen. james comey, andrew mccabe, peter strzok, these were. so folks pushing to approve this surveillance, the spying, whatever you want to call it how do you get to the bottom of exactly what happened? >> tough bring him in. you have to keep talking to him. and all those players you just evan listed are just right. this is what the american people need to understand. an investigation at this level and to a presidential campaign. it absolutely would have gone to the highest levels. that means jim comey. absolutely hands down. mccabe all the rest of the players. they are key and they have got to be talked to hands down. >> what about as ar azra turk. he suggested she was flirting and wanted to entrap him in some way. what do we know about her now and what do we need to do collectively to figure out what really happened? >> so we still don't know a lot about who this individual is for sure. more than likely than not it was probably the undercover fbi agent the flirting, et cetera, that's not an issue. that's covert operations. that's what a confidential human source does or that's what undercover agent does. they try to elicit information. again, there is no problem with that you have to go back to the predication. walls the predication adequate to even start this investigation? what were the motives of these key players that you just listed? that's the key. who did this? why did this? and was there a violation of the legal framework or policy doj? that's what we need to get to. there are serious questions about that. ed: last question. bill barr is the one as attorney general who is saying he is going to get to the bottom of this. there could be criminal prosecutions and the like. he said something else that caught my ear. he said under oath that if the fbi and the government in general had only used this woman we mentioned, the professor who has been mentioned, that would be a pretty paltry surveillance operation. he seemed to be suggesting, mark, there could be a whole lot more spying that he might know about that we don't know about yet. meaning this is pretty small potatoes. there could be a lot more. >> he is absolutely right. absolutely hands down why we need to continue to take a look at this. ed: mark morgan we appreciate your insight this morning. >> you bet. ed: marines make sacrifices every single day. sending them to school should not be one of them. givings out millions of dollars in scholarships. one of the recipients as well as the marine corps foundation. i was at their dinner. they do great work. they are going to join us live talking about some of their heroes coming up next. ♪ ain't that america ♪ something to see ♪ ain't that america ♪ home of the free ♪ this is the couple who wanted to get away who used expedia to book the vacation rental that led to the ride which took them to the place where they discovered that sometimes a little down time can lift you right up. flights, hotels, cars, activities, vacation rentals. expedia. everything you need to go. activities, vacation rentals. when you start with a better that's no way to treat a dog... ...you can do no wrong. where did you learn that?

so many lessons in that and resilience and just dealing with a lifestyle that's kind of hard. >> definitely. i think moving around it has exposed me to a lot of different people and cultures especially. it really opened my eyes. and i think just where i am right now really is how i grew up really molded how i like what i wanted to pursue and come to the city i have never lived in new york before. and i think if i wasn't growing up like moving around a lot, i wouldn't be able to adapt as well. and yeah. jedediah: you are ready for new york city. jedediah: new york city needs you. general, to that point. we cover on this show a lot of looneyness in higher education. a lot of campuses gone sideways. some of these scholarship recipients maybe couldn't afford to go to college without this scholarship. what does the son or daughter of a marine add to a college campus?

the commander there describes it as a miracle. no one killed, thank goodness. what happened? >> well, i also call it the miracle on the st. john akin to the miracle on hudson with the great captain sully. what happened last night is we had a contaminated runway. that occurs when you have wet sur fossas of about one-eighth of an inch of standing water and last night's rains in jacksonville was about one half of an inch of standing water in 23 minutes. so when the plane was trying to do a hard touch down, it did some hydroplaning and also the pilots might have did some extra rudder control and that's what caused skidding. and it skid and naturally floated into the river. people were forced to step out onto the wings much like we saw on the miracle on the hudson. jedediah: oliver, is there anything that could be done in the future to prevent this kind of, you know, occurrence from happening again? >> yes. the faa is on top of this as of september 2014. they had some rule-making on mitigating overrun aircraft. and what they are trying to do is to get pilots more trained to look at types of landing emergencies so this is really about scenario analysis in flying and in simulations. so pilots all the time are trying to practice on how to land the bird safely. and keep it from running off the runway. they have a factor safety they put in here folks which is about 15%. that means that if you have available distance that they can program into their cockpitcockpits when they have these really sudden adverse weather conditions they could add about 15% landing distance in calculation and not have overruns again. ed: can you put this in broader context. we mentioned boeing has had problems recently from a layman's early look. it appears the rain and other factors and not something that would be a problem for boeing. but you would know more than us. i wonder can you put this in the context of boeing and their problems and also why did this plane take off from guantanamo if the runway was flooded? was it flooding so fast that they had taken off and then all of a sudden it just got worse and worse as they were headed towards jacksonville? >> excellent point. the weather was very severe weather. this was half an inch of rain in 23 minutes. they most likely were on the way to their destination when this downpour came. boeing is stepping one ntsb we are always interested in what is happening with 7373s. they are on top of this and got their ears perked up. this is something that does happen occasionally. additional pilot training according to the faa rule making would help. pete: oliver mcgehee, thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. pete: only 90 miles from gitmo. it's a pretty quick trip. the rain came down fast. jedediah: we are going to turn to your headlines u.n.c. charlotte student who died heroically tackling a gunman on campus will be buried with full military honors tomorrow. police say rotc ca cadet reilly howell's reactions gave e more time to respond and students to escape. 911 calls on campus. >> charlotte 911 do you need police, fire or medic?

>> yeah. he has been running for about a week but he has also been around for about, what, 50 years. part of the problem here in washington. and to me, that is the biggest reason he is a lot like jeb bush. in that, you know, the bush family obviously was a dynasty. biden is not part of a dynasty. but he has been around a very, very long time. and people get kind of tired of their politicians. but here's where i think joe biden, you know, could be somewhat of a threat. in previous elections, you know, democrats, republicans, they often, especially if they really really despise the guy that's sitting in the white house, they will kind of date all sorts of candidates, all kinds of crazy stuff and at the end of the day they go back to the safe bet. and the lane that joe biden is running in right now is the safe bet lane. and after they go and do their socialist thing with bernie sanders, all the crazy stuff with the different candidates that are running right now, i could see them in the end turning to a guy like joe biden. the problem with that though, of course, pete is that's what they did with john kerry in 2004. it's what republicans did with mitt romney in 2012. the problem is that if you are going with the safe bet, it's the person that's not as exciting. pete: yeah. >> they are not enthusiastic about it and those candidates often lose. pete: there is a national poll out recently and you've got to take that with a grain of salt because national polls don't reflect where you need to win early on. it shows joe biden with a 30 point lead 44%. bernie sanders 14. kamala harris at 9% and others harvard harris poll just from may 1st. so, ultimately, are democrats opting at least early on toward the safe bet of the person they think could take on president trump the best? will that be where they end up? >> i think that is sort of what we're looking at there. a lot of that has just to do with name recognition. and the fact that voters are not as tune in, certainly not nearly as turned i tuned ins the media is right now on the race. i do think once you get into the details and stuff, when bernie is talking about all this free stuff and people are talking about going to college for free and all this other stuff without ever talking about who is going to pay for all of this, that's going to sound appealing to a lot of these democratic voters. i think we will see -- you know, we will see those numbers change a whole lot. like i said at the end of the day i wouldn't be surprised -- i mean, the democrats out there so dislike this president. pete: yeah. >> at the end of the day we can't this up and go with crazy bernie or go with safe joe or sleepy joe. and like i said, maybe that turns out to be a good strategy this year. but in previous years, you know, in elections like this are won on enthusiasm. if people, if your own base isn't thiewenthusiastic about te nominee you go the way of mitt romney. pete: that's what happened in 2012 with john kerry. what's the rationale for the biden candidacy? you knew barack obama you will know me? >> i think it's partly that and partly because he has run for president so many times and he feels like it's his time. these politicians, you know, you don't just run for president once. you do it once and then you are addicted to it. and they can't help themselves. it doesn't matter that they don't have nothing to offer. pete: great point. charlie hurt, thank you for your time this morning. >> you bet, pete. pete: two teens stranded at sea for hours treading water to survive. they said they cried out to god for help, and then they were rescued by a boat named a men. they join us live with their miraculous story coming up next. there they are. ♪ ♪ ancestry is celebrating all the one-of-a-kind women we call "mom." with an engaging new experience... ...ancestrydna can help her uncover her history... ...to tell a story as unique as she is. order a kit for mom (or dad) at ancestry.com jed jet the prayers of two florida high schoolers were answered after the teens were subsequent away from a beach in saint augustine and pulled miles out to sea. after threading water and praying for two hours their saving grace came in the form of passing ships named amen. they are now certain god is real. joining me with their incredible story. tyler smith and heather brown. tyler and heather, thank you so much for being here. when i read about this story i was completely blown away. i want to start with you, tyler and tell me how did this happen? how did you wind up out in the middle of the sea stranded? obviously you see the out across the inlet that's not far. we are strong athletes so we start swimming we're young teenagers we don't think about current. we are like we can do this easy. we just start swimming out. we had a point of reference that we were trying to swim to. and we kind of lost track of that and we didn't think much of it because the island is like a few feet -- like 10 feet away. we just tried to keep swimming to the island as much as we could but eventually things turned bad. >> heather, you are in the water. you are stranded. what is going through your mind at that time? >> i didn't really quite want to believe that we were stuck it got to the point we were swimming and swimming and go hard swim direct there pull out some olympic swimmer moves but basically i saw like our point of reference and we were completely off track. and i was just kind of panicking to myself we are stuck. this can't be right. we can make it but we just keep drifting further and further. >> tyler, how long were you actually out there on the water and at what point did prayer come in to play for you? >> we were in the water for around two hours i want to say. and the it's extraordinary at the point i started praying we had a red buoy we grabbed on to and try to wait there until some reckless boat or our friends called someone to come and get us. we were going to stay there on the buoy. the current pushed us right past it. that's the point i started to freak out. honestly both my legs started to cramp. that going through your head, you can't swim anymore because both of your legs are cramped. you are hopeless and that's when i started to cry out to god like please send something. please send someone or some miracle to come save us because i still want to see my family again heather tell us about this rescue must have seem like universe. how did this finally play out that you got rescued? so we were at the point where we were just floating look up to see how far away we were. at some point it seemed like it came out of nowhere. because we had seen a couple boats past really far away when i looked up i saw this big boat, it was a really nice boat. >> it was a yacht. >> already closer than the other ones were from the start. and i just had this feeling that like i knew we were getting out of there. even if we had to like swim down this boat we were getting out of there. and when they pulled up. or i guess they were to the left of us about 200 yards away. and i was screaming at the top of my lungs. just like help or please, like over here. and i found this stick -- i found this random stick in the water and i was waiving it. jedediah: we are unfortunately running out of time. incredible story i will could listen to it all day. thank you so much for sharing it and certainly something that will make you think about religion, god and life that whole different way. thank you so much for being here. >> yeah. god saved me. thank you. >> thank you. jedediah: more "fox & friends" coming up on the other side. this is the durabed of the all new chevy silverado. it looks real sturdy. -the bed is huge. it has available led cargo area lighting. lights up the entire bed. it even offers a built in 120 volt outlet. wow. plug that in for me. whoa! -holy smokes! -oh wow! and the all new silverado has more trim levels than any other pickup. whoa! oh wow! -very cool. there's something for all of us. absolutely. it's time to upgrade.

how could he back it up? now you can see on the front page of the "new york times" yesterday something we have been reporting on for a couple years now they are catching up and saying they are there, in fact, was at least surveillance, spying whatever you want to call it back in 2016. jedediah: devin nunes was on hannity talking about how sophisticated this spying actually was. take a listen. >> i said this a year ago. and i got mocked and others got mocked. i said, look, i'm not interested if the trump campaign was spied on. that happened. that's fact. i want to know how many spies, infortunates whatever you want twhatever -- informante run in the trump campaign. the "new york times" story says two. that's up from one. my guess is it's a lot more than that. i want to know how many spies were run into the trump campaign and i still don't know but we're going to get the answer and we're going to get it out to the american people. ed: nunes has been ahead of the curve on this. what he said there is important. attorney general barr in new testimony a couple days ago after that initial talk under oath about spying said that if this was the extent of this, george papadopoulos and a woman in the bar, the professor that was involved, that would be pretty paltry of the fbi. that maybe this was much more so he fills at this indicated and we are only scratching the surface. for the attorney general to say either the fbi bungled this by only doing a little bit of spying and didn't get to the bottom of where russia was penetrating the trump campaign or this is the little bit we've seen of spying and the attorney general suggesting under oath there could be a whole bunch more and he is going to investigate it if there are more revelations, this story is just going to continue to blow up. jedediah: if you look at the media coverage of all of this though it's so embarrassing for them. you look at all those clips of them saying oh, how dare they call it spying? that first, you know, of course it's collusion. they have been so wrong on so many points? ed: they were sailing it was collusion before they had the facts. jedediah: unbelievable. ed: then they were saying it wasn't spying before they had the facts on that. pete: remember when devin nunes went to the white house because there was nowhere else to read the information. you could see ton his face the weight of the world. he was mocked openly. and called a partisan and a hack. and it turns out he was following the facts, which is what reporters are supposed to do. the "new york times" caught up two years later. it will be very interesting to see whether there is any follow-up here. no incentive for the left wing media to follow through that's the problem. ed: mark morgan former fbi official was on the program a short while ago. he said there could be a lot more to come. watch. >> the point is the fbi had the authority and the legal authority to do just that. to spy to use covert tactics. that's not the issue. the issue is was it done appropriately under the legal framework and within the department of justice policy and this is what the american people need to understand. an investigation of this level and to a presidential campaign it absolutely would have gone to the highest levels. that means james comey. absolutely, hands down mccabe all the rest of the players. they are key and they have got to be talked to hands down. pete: james comey, what did obama know and when did he know it? and what did vice president know? he just said most scandal-free. not a whiff of scandal in our administration. jedediah: right. ed: happened in 2016. pete: you have weekly luncheons with the president and have you access to that what did he know? that could be part of the 2020 campaign. ed: might be why john brennan and others lashing out after the president they might be under scrutiny as well. jedediah: issue for democrats for mueller to come forward and testify. guess who is weighing in lindsey graham? check out this letter from graham to mueller quote in particular attorney general barr testified that you believed media coverage of your investigation was unfair without the public release of those summaries. please inform the committee if you would like to provide testimony regarding any misrepresentation by the attorney general of the substance of that phone call. so you see there, lindsey graham weighing in on the fact that it was reported in that phone call that mueller said hey, i'm not taking issue, william barr, with what you said you didn't mislead people here. i'm not taking issue with the facts. i'm taking issue with the way the media narrative played out on this. he is zeroing in on that right there. pete: we saw that typical. leaks coming out of these things about conversations that were had right before bill barr went to capitol hill to testify one day didn't testify the other day because they moved the goal post. listen, they got smacked by bill barr. weighs a bawler there. he was candid. weighs unapologetic. i'm the touring. this is my view. i have a right to that view. ultimately lindsey graham to say i want bob mueller to testify to me that's an indication that they are on the offense. they feel good. there is nothing there. ed: remember what he did in march. put out this four-page letter. everyone wanted. he puts that out there. remember what he has testified, to bill barr, that he offered bob mueller to take a look at that before hand and work with him on the sort of summary and he said no. you are the attorney general. it's up to you. i report to you. he pets that out there and everyone freaks out and says no, we want the whole report. he redactions. puts the full report out there. drag him up to the hill and say the media coverage is off or this or that. pete: they can read the report if they want. to say. ed: the whole report is online. jedediah: remember he bottom lined bob mueller's findings. the purpose was to find out if there was no crime. what barr said there was no conspiracy and that mueller chose to not weigh in on whether or not there was obstruction. that was true. that is fact. now, he didn't include bob mueller's these are the days of our lives novelistic adventure part ii he chose not to do this because that was not his job. he bottom lined it and mueller doesn't like the bottom line. pete: yeah. and mueller chose not to bring charges or recommend charges from that second part of the report. ed: lindsey graham says look, it's over. some people don't know it yet but it's over. pete: we don't have time for it but we are going to get to bernie sanders honeymoon. ed: in the soviet union. pete: said how he likes communism and. that's a tease later on in the show. jedediah: maybe that will work for his campaign. you never know. starting with a fox news alert. three workers are missing and at least four people are hurt when a factory suddenly explodes overnight.

trial of an accused serial killer dubbed the hollywood ripper beginning this week. michael is accused of killing multiple women, including one who dated actor ashton kutcher. >> kutcher was supposed to go on a date with the actress who was murdered in 2001. he went to the house but left when she didn't answer the door. she was found dead the next morning found dead stabbed 47 times. the actor could be called in to testify. jedediah: here is emily compagno. >> i find the ashton kutcher angle fascinating because i have been watching him for years. how do you see him playing out? >> i don't know that he will be called to testify to be honest. main take away this was extremely brutal murder this man was on trial for. it happened almost 11 years ago. this is -- he has been accused of serial murders and one of them an attempt is why he was eventually arrested and caught. he basically tried to do the same thing to another woman while she was screams. -- while she was sleeping. she fought back and he ran out and that's why he was arrested. the pre-trial has dragged on for 11 years. so the reason i'm not quite sure if ashton will be called to testify because frankly his testimony would not be that persuasive. it's not that material. he went there to pick her up for the date, looked in the window. saw what he thought was wine on the carpet and we learned later it was blood. and her roommate called the police the next morning. pete: how does a pre-trial drag out for 11 years. >> obviously an aberrant element to our system and our tax dollars are paying for that. when i saw him in court i didn't recognize him. 11 years from mugshot was. pre-trial motion was whether to bring in he has been accused of the same type of murder in 1993 in illinois which he has yet to stand trial for also. where is the closure for that family, too. so, the prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. obviously, there is a that tore yuamoratorium. i hoped that's removed from the table another hold up and our tax dollars pays for. ed: college entrance scam if you will keeps on rolling. one of the moms who paid i think over $6 million to get kids into school now saying somehow she is the victim. here is a statement from mrs. zell's lawyer, her generosity has been taken advantage of. this generous act was not only done for the good of the school and opportunities but done out of the school. many affluent parents have been doing openly to prestigious universities. they basically gave a bunch of money to the university. it was apparently because they wanted to get the kid in and under the table, sort of. now they are saying a lot of people buy buildings. >> right. a lot of people buy buildings. what's interesting about that particular set of parents is that second set from china. they have not been charged i doubt they will be. a tenuated part to prove on the part of the prosecution that they did in fact know what was going on. that daughter has since been expelled from stanford the other daughter from chinese parents has been expelled from yale. i think at this point they will be lucky to skate away cleanly with just that given what the other parents are going through. pete: not illegal to do it the old fashioned way. give a bunch of money to the school and maybe should give another look at my kid's application. >> undue infliewnd is okay because that's always worked. that's sparked internal investigations other schools basically reviewing their ethics and how that many a occasion process works. how the admissions and acceptance process works to ensure that's not just oh that's how we always do it and we accept it. right? pete: look at all those ivy league schools. no money slushing around anywhere. jedediah: different. thank you so much for

situation for united states looking to ultimately denuclearize the korean peninsula. this has been a goal of the trump administration since the president took office. and this adds a new element to how the administration is going to be able to move forward with the regime in pyongyang. you saw the president earlier this year in vietnam trying to work with north korean leader kim jong un in an effort to find common ground and work towards these goals. you saw him last year in singapore trying to do the same thing. but the underlying message here from the north koreans is that they remain prepared should this not ultimately lead to a resolution. the trump administration going to continue pushing but, it does appear that they are trying to send a message that they are going to be strong negotiators. ed: message from north korea came just a few days after kim jong un was meeting in russia with vladimir putin so the white house has to raise an eyebrow there about what putin is up to and in fact sarah sanders overnight said they are monitoring the situation didn't give us much more than that but the putin angle is interesting as well. >> spoke with russian president vladimir putin. he said they actually talked about north korea. so this issue of you who the russians are going to play a role in the leading to a denuclearized korean peninsula certainly going to be an interesting part of this story to watch. pete: nicholas maduro clinging on to power. what's going on next. >> right now we have correspondents not only in caracas. steve harrigan there and ellison barber on the border. watching angles to this story. not only humanitarian angle civilians trying to flee the violence erupting in venezuela also have the u.s. military and u.s. government posturing. the past 48 hours have been key for the trump administration and the pentagon the tank room you have top military brass looking to send a message to nicholas maduro that if you do not leave power the united states is considering all options. u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo this week saying all options are on the table. he would not rule out military action in those meetings in the pentagon. do appear to be an effort by the u.s. military and government to send that message that they believe the formal leader of venezuela is juan guaido is not nicholas maduro. they would like to see a peaceful resolution according to the reports that we have read this week. >> speaking on the issue of peace. i wanted to talk to you a little about progress being made potentially in the middle east. jared kushner come out and addressing this core issue. is there progress being made in has big steps been made since the trump administration came into power. >> as we unique the israeli military is striking targets inside the gaza strip after more than 100 rockets were actually fired this morning. when you talk about peace in the region such a complex issue and the administration is trying to address it the reality on the ground though is that are it doesn't look good. you have the president and his team jason green ballot and jared kushner trying to release a middle east peace plan as early in the next few weeks. the reality on the ground does not match up with what jared kushner said. he said this week he thought it would be a good starting point for peace in the middle east. good starting point for who is the palestinians factions have. we spoke with hamas inside out gaza strip and palestinian authority they do not believe the trump administration is going to be able to address the needs of palestinians. israelis also likely not going to be happy with some of the key points in the plan because it could mean giving up some land to palestinians which is a political point as you know very well having just been there a nonstarter for me. pete: great to have you on the couch. we normally see you on the gaza border or jerusalem. do you a great job for us. thanks for

>> well, again, people have asked for the unredacted report. he will not allow for that to happen. and in addition, he didn't come back when asked by congress. congress' role is oversight. that's one of their major roles. and he is -- he was against that and i think that's a real problem. if he wants to join trump's legal team, i would say go ahead and do that. ed: again, you are going after bill barr we will get to that in a moment. get michael in here. i didn't hear jason answer the central question the public doesn't want impeachment and yet he and democrats seem to want this to be an open question. >> why would they want impeachment? you have unemployment at 49-year lows average wages up to 27.77 per hour. the stock market cannot stop rising. is the democrats' pitch here let us impeach trump and then everything will get worse again? i don't think that's going to sell in the democrats have this central problem which is that the majority of voters overwhelmingly reject impeachment. the majority of democrats still support impeachment. so, short of impeachment, they are going after trump. they are going after barr. this is really playing with fire. mueller time is over. it's time to pay the bar tab. i think they are very afraid of what the attorney general is going to find when he digs in to the origins of some of those politically motivated investigations two years. ed: mueller time is over. it's time to pay the bar tab. jason, i can't say it over. how do you answer that? final word. >> i think we need to understand what impeachment is. it's not a popularity contest. it's there is a reason that impeachment is not a referendum. it is the role of congress. and if the president is has committed impeachable offenses then we have got to go through with the process. ed: it sounds to me, michael, last word from you that democrats don't want to accept the reality. maybe their base is pressing the leaders to keep this open. what say you? >> we are arguing over some letter that barr wrote or some conversation on the phone with bob mueller. all of this is secondary. the mueller report is out. we can read it. i think all of us here have read the mueller report. all of the relevant sections. it exxonner rates the president. sorry, democrats. it's time to move on. >> it actually says it doesn't exonerate the president. that's exactly what it says it does not do. ed: jason, i give you the world a couple times you still haven't made the case. we shall see where this all goes. jason and michael, always good to have you in on the weekend. >> thanks, mike, thanks, ed. good to see you. ed: a program for combat veterans for combat vets horsemanship and networking at the same time. the co-founder of war horses for vets join us as we continue our week long we built that series. that is next. ♪ new york to l.a. ♪ we were teenage dreaming ♪ got it. ran out of ink and i have a big meeting today. and 2 boxes of twizzlers... yeah, uh... for the team... the team?

>> i think it was over time it was the coming from combat in 2003 i was in invasion in the infantry and 2004 i left. there is not much of a transition. get out and grind and take those principles that we learn in the military and apply to building your own business and building your brand. soon after that i realized working with the horses what it was doing for me. as a combatant. and then soon i got an -- one of the greatest opportunities to me patricia and amy brown. they believed and saw this and had a passion for horses and veterans war horses for veterans came about. jedediah: pat, how did you get involved initially in this pro-says? >> well, i met patrick and my father flew the hump in world war ii. i always had an affinity for veterans. my husband, andy, has always raised and ridden horses. so it just seemed like a natural fit. jedediah: how has working with the veterans had an impact on you and your life? >> it's been amazing. i seen men and women come to the farm looking over their shoulders and feeling uncomfortable. and after a few hours of working with the horses, everybody is all smiles and the camaraderie starts. it's unbelievable to watch the transformation. jedediah: i'm sure. what do you say to generation who come back and serve and interested in becoming entrepreneurs it can seem intimidating at first. do you have any advice for them how to start. >> i do. entrepreneurship and owning your own craft and building your brand it's yours. no one is going to put as much energy and effort is yourself. i would say like, you know, if you love and it pursuing something you are good at, you will make it work. it's a lot of work. >> it's hard. look at what we went flew combat. come on, how hard is it really? make sure you know, tap into resources. find mentors there is a great generation right now. we said from the baby boomer that is slowing down. look at retirement they want to mentor and help the jennings generation of entrepreneurs come forward and be successful. jedediah: it's important to point out there is no fee for veterans to join this program. what has been the impact that you have seen, pat, with veterans working with horses in particular? you know, i used to visit horses when i was a kid all the time. they are so calming. they are so therapeutic. i think of vets struggling with p ts and things of that nature. what have you seen upclose and personal? >> when you put anyone in a confined area with a thousand pound animal. they tend to empty their brain and focus on the animal. we see a deep exhale when they start working with the horses and by afternoon of the first day they are all riding the horses. jedediah: wow. >> even the ones who say i'm not getting on a horse. they are on a horse. jedediah: yeah. >> it's pretty amazing. jedediah: thank you both so much for being here. this is a beautiful venture. i know a lot of people are going to be checking you guys out. because this is a great opportunity for vets. >> absolutely. jedediah: thank you. appreciate it so much. tom homan, dan bongino and congressman dan crenshaw coming up. ♪ from ♪ ♪ good times. drivin g right now that would be unsafe. when insurance is affordable, it's surprisingly painless. it's a revolution in sleep. the sleep number 360 smart bed, from $999, intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts... so you wake up rested and ready for anything. save $400 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. only for a limited time. since you're heading off to dad... i just got a zerowater. but we've always used brita. it's two stage-filter... doesn't compare to zerowater's 5-stage. this meter shows how much stuff, or dissolved solids, gets left behind. our tap water is 220. brita?

pete: i'm going to pull a steve doocy. america is working says the new york post. and they are exactly right. it's a really tough to run against an economy like this when as brian brenberg pointed out earlier in the show, harvard professor good friend of mine. feeling impact in the middle. industry and jobs coming back. trading in old job for a new one that pays more. taking on a second job in a flexible economy. this is really, really good news for the president. more importantly for our country when we were told for years under obama we were headed for decline. jobs never coming back. here we are. jedediah: how the media covered it once again fascinating. another aspect breeding distrust in america. take a walk down memory lane. october 2016 "the washington post" editorial board a president trump could destroy the world economy.

you saw the testimony on the senate side a couple days ago. one attack after another, bill barr giving as good as he got. now there is this letter from jerry nadler saying we are going to hold you in contempt of congress if you don't show up and give us what we want by monday morning in terms of a new deal to testify soon. the committee, nadler writes is prepared to make every realistic effort to reach an accommodation with the justice department. if the department persists in its baseless refusal to comply with the validly issued subpoena, the committee will move to contempt proceedings and seek further legal recourse. pete: nadler is trying to hold de facto impeachment hearings. he is the center of the resistance in congress which is trying to flex its muscles and say we are a coequal branch, which they are. but ultimately bill barr stonewalled them and said you can't change the rules and i still show up. you don't get your staffs to interrogate me and oh by the way i already gave you the mueller report responsibly redacted and oh by the way jerry nadler if you want to go read it it's available in full to you if you want. to say it's all been handled responsibly i don't know where he thinks, jedediah, that he is winning this. is anyone looking at jerried inadler and saying go, go? jedediah: i think the democrats need to keep this alive only thing they have got. what are they going to do give those ridiculous statements about the economy that make no sense? pete: that's true. good point. jedediah: holding on to this as good as they can. kimberly strassel had an interesting point about barr and why he is getting attacked. take a listen. >> what you are really seeing here are people expressing their fear because there are a lot of very powerful people that will be affected by this. they have successfully for a couple of years managed to make sure there was no oversight at the department of justice, no outsider taking a look at this. barr not only has come in but he says and he will not back down from his saying he is going to finally get some answers out and that is provoking the reaction. the goal here is to demean him and hurt his integrity to try to undermine what he ultimately puts out. ed: kimberley strassel of the "wall street journal" and others ahead of the curve. bill barr is potentially going after james comey andrew mccabe and others who started this whole investigation and whether or not they were truthful with the fisa warrants that went before that court. pete: the leaking and all of that? ed: bill barr saying is he going to get to the bottom of it might be why he is under attack right now. pete: exactly. being accused of attacking the president's political opponent. is he going back and looking where this whole thing started. between his investigation and michael horowitz we still haven't seen the beginning of the whiplash against the investigators who appear to have acted quite irresponsibly. speaking of another topic though. and this is your favorite. jedediah: everyone at home i know you have been waiting with baited breath the democratic stage for 2020 has not been complete but it may be soon. ed: not enough candidates. jedediah: new york city mayor bill de blasi bill dede bo unites the president no one wants him to run for president but he may be actually running for president. that was what was missing bill de blasio. everyone in new york let out a cease-fire really? ed: he keeps saying the door is open he is deciding. nobody wanted you -- nobody thought you were weighing this. there is already 22 candidates mayor bill not that popular here in new york city. pete: covered events where he goes to these states and the crowd is like 10 people. ed: literally. pete: we have robert wolf in insider. i wonder what he thinks about bill de blasio. tries to raise his name i.d. doing it poorly. trying to run companies out of state. his rationale is the problems are bigger in order to save new york city i have to change climate change. have you ever seen a more self-interested politician? jedediah: what is bill de blasio going to bring to that stage that is unique? pete: he is tall. jedediah: he is tall. everyone is trying to bring their own thing to the table and i get it. what does he bring?

here to react is retired ice director and fox news contributor tom homan. thanks for being here this morning. so people may point to this number. are you optimistic that something like this is big enough and will be sustained? >> look, i'm glad it's happening. but i will hold my optimism to see if it's going to be sustained operation. look, i have been done this for 34 years. i started border patrol 1994. i have seen many dog and pony shows something sustained throughout. if so, then i will be more optimistic. also, what they still need to do is secure their southern border, right? they need to stop the flow. they need to attack the criminal cartels the machine behind. this it used to take weeks from these people get from southern mexico to northern mexico now it's taking days. they have to shut down the machine the criminal cartels making a lot of the money moving a lot of the people. the more people they move the more money they make. we know the stats 1/3 of women are raped. children are dying. a child died the other day on the border. they need to attack the criminal cartels and dismantle them. once they start doing all of this i will be optimistic. ed: is this a sign president is getting progress with mexico? think about here at home after months and months of democrats saying it's a manufactured crisis. we have seen jay johnson and other democrats. we have talked about it on the program have said look, this is a legit crisis. let's figure it out. now you also have mexican officials maybe saying yeah, there is a problem here. >> look, absolutely, i think president trump is making a huge difference, right? i saw your earlier segment where they want to impeach him for obstruction. the guy was sitting on the sidelines now a politician, who has obstructed more than congress. they have obstructed this president from day one trying to secure the border and trying to enforce the law and protect americans. maybe they ought typically peach themselves, just saying. i think this president is doing a great job. this president has laid the gauntlet down. is he has taken it seriously. he is not only talking the talking but walking the walk. we have the president at the right time doing the right thing for america. look, it feels good after 34 years of seeing this happening. pete: that's a great point. we follow griff on the ground your report, it's confusing to seat mexican government seems to be in and not do anything and not secure their border. so a lot of that remains to be seen. we want to get your thoughts on one more topic. the state of florida appears to be poised to ban sanctuary cities. there is a bill on the desk of governor ron desantis. are steps like this in these states an important part of the equation? >> absolutely. and god bless the state of florida. i mean, i congratulate their lawmakers, obvious great americans. and great patriots that believe in the rule of law. and they didn't bow to the immigration advocates, open border advocates that want sanctuary cities. you know, the argument from the advocates are we have sanctuary cities so victims and witnesses of crime feel free to report crimes. that is such a false narrative because ice only wants access to the county jail. unless the police are arresting vehicles and arresting, you know, witnesses to crime, i just ice doesn't know they exist. releasing a public safety threat back in the public when he can be removed from the country is just stupid. i think what florida did was great. i wish the state of california, city of new york, city of chicago would follow their lead. ed: all right, tom homan former ice director who now heads from the tv studio to weight lifting workout which i understand is your saturday morning routine. we talked about that off the air. go get them. pete: not a bad routine. i wouldn't want to weight lift with him. >> on my way. ed: blockbuster reports for april adding more fuel to trump's economic record heading into 2020. how will the democrats be able to run against these numbers?

[laughter] ed: how will democrats respond to all of this robert wolf, a fox news contributor a advisor to president obama. >> i would much rather talking about the kentucky derby. ed: you are a man who knows a lot about the economy and you have been on the program before. >> i'm a capitalist. he had thread are good things the president has done but also raised questions about the tax cut and who it helped. you see these economic numbers. how do the democrats run a credible case against the president when the economy is pretty good. >> let me talk about the positive. yesterday was a great day for the country. strong nic numbers is always a good thing. wages went up that's always a good thing. it is the 103rd straight month of private sector job gains. i have to say 77 straight for obama and now 27 for the president. that's good and i hope it continues. but it is not as if this hasn't been going one way. with respect to g.d.p. and wages, all in the right direction. those are good things. and i would agree with the president if we don't have as democrats a strong economic message it will be a brutal 2020 campaign. that being said, i think we will be able have to have an economic message because here are some of the things that i would say when i was advising obama and if i was advising president trump. one, the labor participation rate is still around 63%. we're still not having enough people working. if only 63% of those people are participating in the economy, then actually one third isn't. secondly, it's great that we have 7 million job openings but we also have 7 million people it could be 5 to 7 looking for jobs. which means we still have an incredible skills miss match. in this country we do. we don't have enough people in science, technology, engineering which is why we have to tap in on immigration. and then the third thing is what we saw in the fourth quarter is four out of 10 people could not have afforded a $400 emergency. these are things we have to -- irrespective of who the president is. those are things that continue to haunt us as a country and we need to fix that. pete: under the trump time we have seen record number of people come off the food stamps and enter into the workforce. do you think voters are really going to say this is the obama recovery because it was a flat line quasigrowth and then had you trump come into office. and correlates almost directly with that time the optimism, the money that's flooded into the economy. the tax cuts and deregulation. i mean, it wasn't going like this for obama. it was steady. so do you really think that biden or others can go to the voters and say i'm going to take credit for this economy? ed: talkineconomy?he had. >> that being said, our economic message cannot be rewant to go back to the obama economy. even though i actually think we know we took us out of a deep recession. it has to be what are you doing going forward? not looking back. so, all of these 21 going to 23 candidates are going to have an economic message. and we talked about it last weekend. they are all checking the boxes, which are important on gun reform and immigration and healthcare and criminal justice but they have to have a strong economic message. when you go into the voting booth you are going to say who is the best person to help me and my family on kitchen table things like and wages is key. so we have to change our economic message and we have to show we have one. jedediah: what do you make of bill de blasio potentially entering?

>> journalism watchdog pointer now forced to scrap their list of unreliable news sources because, as it turns out, the list wasn't reliable. backlash grew as several conservative websites were mistakenly targeted and pointer took down the list replacing it with an apology. next guest a writer for one of the websites targeted producer at the daily signal and the heritage foundation. hey, kelsey, how are you doing today. >> good morning. thanks for having me. jedediah: i'm looking at this list, i see life news, free beacon, drudge report, daily caller, red state. there is a lot of conservative web sites on here. what do you make of it. >> yeah, very conveniently conservative news sites were grouped in and labeled by poynter as unreliable or fake news which is a pretty serious smear coming from what is supposed to be a nonprofit journalism institute and conveniently, many of the far left news sites were left out of that. think progress, for example, which is run out of the center for american progress and the intercept. so very clearly conservative news sites were targeted and most alarmingly, they were targeted to be blacklisted by advertisers. so what this journalism institute is really supporting here is choking out conservative news sites from the public through boycotts and bans via advertisers. that is not something anyone who supports journalism should ever be behind. jedediah: my question upon looking at this who defines what is unreliable? it turns out that they made this index by combining five lists. when you look into it, it says that quote it was curated by established journalists or academics, most journalists are liberals. most academics are liberal. is that part of the problem with where this bias came from? >> it's absolutely part of the problem. sadly, what happened here is very reflective of the state of the mainstream media right now. we had come to learn that the person responsible for making this list previously was associated with the splc which has a history of targeting conservative news sites and making this list. they also didn't even reach out to any of the news organizations that they targeted, including the daily signal, which is really a violation of journal 101. you reach out to the subject how are reporting on. jedediah: kelsey we have an excerpt from the original pointer index called for the black thrissing. advertisers don't want to support publishers that might tar their brand with hate speech, falsehoods or some kind of political messaging but too often they have little choice in the matter. we help the unnews index will be useful for advertisers that want to stop funding misinformation. your response to that? >> again, it is very dangerous for a nonprofit supposedly unbiased journalism institution to be calling for advertisers to boycott conservative news sites. and this is very symbolic of what's happening on the left on college campuses, all over where instead of winning the battle with conservatives via ideas and debates, they just want to ban us from -- ban our ideas from even being heard. shout us down. this is another example of it. i think it's very unfortunate. we appreciate them pulling down that list. but it's possible that they come up with another and continue targeting conservative news sites. jedediah: we did reach out to pointer and they did respond to "fox & friends." they said the pointer institute believes in a free and responsible press and we hold ourselves to high standards. we messed up and we are owning it and we are taking steps to make sure something doesn't like this -- like this doesn't happen again. so i think that is an important step that at least they're willing to acknowledge it to me, this is unfortunately a reflection that there is a home general nate of thought in academic and journalism oftentimes. what has been flagside what is dissent? what is offering a different perception of telling that news? kelsey, i really appreciate you being here. thank you for your input and glad to see their apology, at least it is one small step in the right direction. >> thank you. jedediah: thanks so much. mother's day is just around the corner. kurt the cyberguy is here with big tech for mom's big day including a new way to video chat. i'm so excited. i bet that's ed?

welcome to the party pal, like welcome to the party. this idea that the trump adminitration was spied on was obvious to any entrepreneurial journalist who just did open source internet hunting. i mean, it's a great time to have a book called spygate, that i wrote a year and a half ago by the way. the story that broke the new york times covered was a story who met at a meeting with george papadopoulos and the trump campaign official and was brought there by stefan halper, a known u.s. inc. asset and that story i interviewed george papadopoulos eight months ago. literally none of this is new but the real story here is twofold. the story here is the news is the news. the fact that the new york times finally had to come around now and avoided the story for a year and a half should tell you something and that leads to headline number two. notice how they frame it getting out ahead of bill barr and he's come walking into tombstone. they try to frame the narrative in advance and it's going to be this. mark my word. it was a "frantic" time in the fbi. it was confusing. that is not an excuse. the constitution matters precisely when it's frantic. freedom of speech matters, pete, when you defended your military service when it matters not when everything is great. the freedom to petition your government and assemble matters when it's frantic that is not an excuse thoughts frantic in the fbi to spy. pete: it was frantic and their other defense appears to be well we really thought you may have been a rug agent so we're just patriots in pursuit of the truth >> that's a valid retort, that i know you'll hear from the left and i've seen it with "the talk ing" heads on this network and others. again, what was the evidence. you can't just say that. i can't say hey, i think pete hegseth was a russian agent. what is your proof and their only evidence ever of any collusion-type conspiracy with the russians was where? the dossier, which was a political document. it is nowhere else. ed: and was used to go to the fisa court to lead to surveillance of carter page and we'll see whether others were surveilled and that means james comey beings andrew mccabe and others will be on the line with that bill barr investigation. a moment ago the president tweet ed out when will the radical left wing media apologize to me, forgetting the russian collusion story so long. the real story is about to happen, seems to be teaming up with what dan stepenosky talking about but interesting, reporters were still pressing his phone call because it was a whole series on international issues still pressing him on collusion, watch. >> did you address the issues that came up in the mueller report?

you want him to call putin about a scandal that's been debunk. let's talk about a scandal that didn't humiliate our intelligence services that fell for this scam, but he did bring up an important point in that tweet. do not forget. i think the asra turck story intelligence asset to spy on the trump team, that's not the real story guys. the real story is who in the heck was joseph misud, who starts this whole thing by telling george papadopoulos about e-mails and russian information that may have had on the dnc. the democrat liberal media narrative is that that was a russian asset. that's not the real story. ed: he was working with the italians? >> he's connected to western intelligence, any media type can go to google and look whose he's in photos with. uk intelligence officials so either we have a russian asset whose infiltrated the highest friendly intelligence services, or we have a friendly who was setting up george papadopoulos. that's the real scandal. this was not spying this was entrapment. jedediah: dan i've got to ask you 2020 these democrats bernie sanders has dropped in the polls a bit because he's out there talking about how terrorists should have voting rights and all his extreme rhetoric is coming forward. what do you think of these new details about his soviet 1980s honeymoon? >> this is reminding me of the reagan 84 election where they thought they had to go back and nominate a guy who was so radically far left because it was his anti-reagan like the tds of the time. so they figured let's get the most anti-reagan guy, mondale ran on we'll raise your taxes. and he was annihilated and the only state he won was minnesota which was by 3,000 votes. pete: thanks, dan. >> but this has reminded me think theophano run the most far left bernie sanders candidates. pete: details have come out about this trip. we knew he honeymooned in the soviet unions, but i quote them trip coordinator david kelly said i got really upset and walked out when you were a critic of your country and can say anything you want on home soil, at that point, the cold war wasn't even over. the arms race wasn't over and i wasn't comfortable with it he's referring to what bernie sanders had to say. the fact we're willing to be critical of the united states i think that made them more appreciative of our criticisms we made of our own society so he's saying bernie sanders went to the soviet union and trashed the united states. >> i'm wondering how socialists like bernie sanders get a pass on a very serious note i know i could be sarcastic about him some types. he is a fraud and he's a millionaire. that's the essence of being a fraud. it's natural. the problem with bernie is why do fascists get no pass, ever, because they're killers and homicide all maniacs, but socialism throughout history killed hundreds of millions of people and i've always wondered why do people who adhere to socialism promote the deadly ideology seem to get a pass in the media? there's no qualitative difference between the two. they are hallmarks of each. why isn't bernie sanders being called out? look at what's happening in venezuela? these are human beings guys, these are children of god. if you're a christian like i am everybody has touched on the hand of god. you have people in venezuela eating out of dumpsters. why isn't bernie sanders being asked to account for that? they supported this. people like alexandria ocasio-cortez these are important people, they have followings listen to them. how are you not asking questions about human lives eating out of dumpsters children dying due to preventable diseases unreal. jedediah: the question is who is that democratic voting base what do they care about? does it bother them it's an honest question does it bother them he went over at the time of the soviet union and may have trashed the united states is that something that gets under their skin or not. i'm not sure that we have our finger on the pulse of what the majority of that base really feels, believes and wants right now. >> jed, i think it's a lot of people who are confused they really believe the socialism bernie sanders is advocating is sweden. it is not. sweden is a market economy with granted a heavy tax structure and a big government. it is not socialistic in any way , shape or form. what bernie sanders is advocat ing for is socialism the government control of the major production which is a deadly economic system. ed: dan i've got great news for your podcast. bill deblasio might be getting in this race. >> oh! ed: i covered that myself. >> weeks of it. jedediah: thanks dan for coming good to see you. a pro-life rally set to debut in the center of new york city today. pete: it's already facing backlash. two of the movements leaders respond, coming up next. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ here i go again on my own ♪ goin' down the only road i've ever known ♪ ♪ like a drifter i was-- ♪ born to walk alone! keep goin' man! you got it! if you ride, you get it. ♪ here i go again geico motorcycle. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more. jedediah: a pro-life celebration set to debut in new york city's times square today. pete: over 10,000 people are expected to attend the first- ever alive from new york. the event that will be broadcasting live ultrasound on billboards, but it hasn't gone without controversy. jedediah: two of the leaders behind the event march for life president jeanie mancini and focus on the family president jim daily are now here with us for more information. so what has been the controversy about this that emerged? well it started with focus on the family, we noticed what governor cuomo did here and the governor of virginia and we thought this is an overreach when we're high fiving in our state houses and the u.s. senate about taking the life of a child especially in that third trimester so we thought why don't we just go to new york, go to times square, put it on the jumbotron and let's see a baby in the third trimester and show the world what a baby looks like. pete: and you guys tried to approach a number of companies that owned billboards to purchase time which people do. what do they say? >> and focus on the family does that specifically so jim what did they say? >> they were just negative basically. they said there's plenty of inventory we'll book you when they found out what the event was about they said we no longer have inventory available for you one company said we'll give you a static shot and we said great we'll put a picture of a baby up and they said no, no, only your logo, so silencing our ability to express our speech and we want to let the world see what a third trimester baby looks like. jedediah: i'm wondering why everyone is so afraid of having that out there. i mean, you can disagree and have a different opinion when it comes to abortion but more information is good. >> exactly. right so science and technology are very much on the side of life, and with this topic, which can sometimes seem to controversial to some people really what we're talking about here is just showing life as it is, in the womb, what's so controversial about that? pete: what they're challenged by is the fact that this technology has greatly advanced the life movement, and once people were able to see what a baby looks like, yet even such early development stages it changed the view about is that just a clump of cells or a baby? >> that's absolutely right so years ago we used to hear that a developing baby is just a lump of cells as you're saying but the other side won't admit to that any more. they now will say that basically ultra sonography is something that's scary. today somebody called it creepy that we were doing ultrasound. but it's just truth. aren't we for informed consent and more information for most medical procedures? doesn't make sense we wouldn't use this. jedediah: we have a statement from abc regarding the advertising issue and they said it is our policy we do not accept live advertising on our tames square video screen, and we also have a statement from clear channel our billboards require a creative approval they never presented any art work and instead galvanize their loyal supporters with misinformation to generate earned media attention, was that the issue that you didn't present creative content ahead of time for approval? >> assuming they've never seen an ultrasound so if that's the case i invite them down to times square today. we brought our own jumbotron so they can see it on our own screen. jedediah: you guys have amazing speakers going on tell us about the event. >> sure well the idea is to celebrate life. it's not to wag a finger and we want to show people what's happening in the womb. we have benjamin watson, former nfl player 15 years in the league celebrating the birth of his twins and very pro-life voice for us and also alvida king, your good friend. >> the niece of dr. martin luther king and a great pro-life advocate. >> and then the keynote speech is drum roll, 4 d live, third trimester option, our ultrasound pete: what time is the event today? >> 3:00. jedediah: thank you guys for being here. >> appreciate it. pete: well democrats giving bill barr an ultimatum. hand over the completely un redacted mueller report or be held in contempt of congress. are they overplaying their hand just a bit?

>> well it's an interesting accusation to begin with because they've been offered the un redacted version and nadler is one of those people who has been offered it and now they don't want to see it they want the public to see it which is kind of a strange stance to take and i wonder if it's because they want to continue on with their fantasy narrative while un encumbered with the actual knowledge they saw the whole thing the entire time so this is a disingenuinous attack it always has been. pete: to make bill barr the focus why have they chosen to train their fire there. do they think they can make the issue about him? he's been in washington, but he's willing to punch back they don't like that much. >> he's just doing his job, the only adult in the room saying listen this is a criminal justice process. my job was to ascertain whether there was a crime committed. you guys are asking me to talk about wrongdoing and character flaws. that's not his job, and he's making that very clear. and what he also made clear was do not let the criminal justice process be used in your political process. he says that's your job i'm doing my job. let's keep those two separate because our institutions are important. ed: where does it go from here because in his testimony this week he also talked about maybe going after james comey and andrew mccabe. he didn't name them but talked about the official officials and justice at the fbi who may have lied to the fisa court. why would you want to undermine barr's credibility because he made it clear he's looking into these things and wants to know how this investigation got started to see if the counter intelligence specs of these were predicated on real facts and maybe they were, maybe they weren't, the democrats are trying to undermine his credibility before that happened jedediah: the thing is the public is exhausted from this. originally this started out as a hunt for collusion and then turned into a conversation about conspire as that was not found, at some point the public was just going to tune this out and move on to the issues are democrats ever going to get there too? >> i don't know if the democrat s will, but democrat voters, i think, already have. on the campaign trail, running for congress this last year, and while in congress, voters are much more concerned about infrastructure bills, healthcare , the environment, they're concerned about a lot of things, and this isn't one of them. it's pretty obvious that the president's campaign and the president himself did not collude or coordinate. that was and coordinate is a very important word too because it has a broader definition, so they didn't do that. he was found innocent of this. that's what people are remembering this obstruction charge is really based on obstructing a crime that did not happen and it also tends to amount to a thought crime because okay he tried to. he pulled people he wanted to, but wanted to fire people, but let's keep in mind he always had the power, he knew that these people weren't fired the next day okay? and does it speak to character flaws? sure. you can make that argument that that's a political argument it's not a legal argument. pete: another big story we're following developments on the korean peninsula, you follow national security very closely one of the things this administration is touted is there hasn't been a mission el test, maybe you know what that differentiation is in this particular circumstance, but what do you make of the possibility for developments there? >> well north koreans are always going to try and test us. this is what they do and they have been doing for decades. this is always going to be a situation where you can't fully trust what they're saying. that doesn't mean we don't try. that doesn't mean we don't keep on the current path and i think what the president has been doing with negotiations with north korea, opening up their hands and then it's still the right path, but they're going in the wrong direction here so we need to be looking at what we can do in response. pete: which could be? >> which could be maybe we continue on our military exercises with the south koreans maybe we look at additional sanctions, maybe we should have the conversations with the chinese about how to thwart some of these things. ed: north korean economy in desperate shape already from previous sanctions more sanctions could be devastating congressman appreciate you coming in. meanwhile it's race day at the kentucky derby where our very own janice dean is getting a jump on the celebrations with the infamous $1,000 mint julep. how is it tasting?

reporter: good morning, to all of you. this is one of the main bridges where migrants or people are able to cross from venezuela into colombia. technically closed but colombian officials have allowed some to cross into the country, temporarily to get food, medicining sin things that they do not have back in venezuela. more migrants from venezuela who want to come into colombia but don't have the appropriate forms to do it. this way, they cross over here, in an area that's known as the trenches in english. they come through this area. they have to pay a group of madu ro-supporting malitia, a gang-type that controls the trenches on the venezuelan side and then what you see many doing right now over to colombia and then they try and stay here. yesterday afternoon that malitia group, they started shooting right up on to this bridge where we're standing. >> [gun shots fired] reporter: people were screaming, trying to run for cover. some people had to just lay down on this bridge and cover their heads, because the gunfire was there. there wasn't a break for the first 15 minutes and they were not able to move to safety. the shooting went on for at least half an hour. hundreds of rounds were fired shooting up towards this bridge and the colombian forces then firing back. police shut down the entire bridge they sent in more police, swat teams, the army on the colombian side officials say at least one innocent woman was injured in the gunfire and taken to a hospital nearby. we're hearing that some u.s. humanitarian help could actually be on the way in the coming days and a spokesperson for the u.s. southern command is telling fox news that the military is considering sending a hospital navy ship called the comfort to south america to aid venezuelan refugees and they did that last year but fox news told us so far no final decision has been made. as for what is happening over in venezuela, the opposition leader and the u.s. recognized president juan gueido has urged venezuelan soldiers to go outside military bases all across the country and protest that's supposed to start at 10 a.m. local time. ed: ellison where you are on the colombian side of the bridge we've heard these reports about venezuelan women in particular being so desperate for food, for money for their families coming over prostituting themselves also just cutting off their hair , selling their hair to colombians. what have you seen? i realize it's a difficult situation you're trying to stay safe and gather material but what are you seeing from average venezuelans who cross over? reporter: that was one of the first things we heard about was the women that not only some have pro prostitute themselves but then also selling their hair we've been at this bridge as well as another o little further away. we have spoken to a number of venezuelan refugees and i met one woman who crosses over every day because she wants her children her child to go to school here. the colombians let children come here to take classes because they know they don't have an education back in venezuela. i met one man who was an engineer by trade and he told me he had lost his job a few years ago because he did not support the maduro regime so he had been kicked out of his job and had been a successful engineer and he had to walk across-the-board er, every single day to try and get food to go back to venezuela and sell sandwiches, pieces of cake. he said he tried to tutor people with math and geometry in colombia but made almost no money. he said the money he made, it was in venezuela and an entire month of his wages of working would only buy him one kilo of cheese which is 2.2 pounds. i met one woman who comes here every month an hour and a half each way to buy insulin in colombia for her mother whose diabetic and they say they have no opportunity no way to buy or get any of that in venezuela. they also say the venezuelan national guard whose just back there past the yellow barricade they won't talk to you, they say when they try to cross here they make it difficult for them to get across-the-boarder into colombia. ed: ellison doing outstanding reporting for us too appreciate that. and just a desperate situation. jedediah: thank you ellison. pete: going to be very interesting took a big gamble this week. jedediah: we'll turn to some headlines for you in this 9:00 a.m. hour. tensions along the gaza strip overnight. milli tans firing 90 rockets at israel most intersected by the country's defense system, no deaths have been reported but at least one rocket did destroy a home south of tel aviv. the attack comes one-day after four palestinians were killed after an israeli strike and protest and a truck driver facing 40 charges could be sentenced to decades behind bars in this fiery crash in colorado. police say four people were killed, when the driver slammed into backed up traffic. he says his brakes failed but police say he could have gotten off the interstate using a ramp, but didn't. the suspect is being held on a $400,000 bond. if you're trying to keep up with the latest fashion trends apparently clear plastic pans are the new hot item. oh, please, no. uk retailer "prettylittlething" unveiling a new collection of transparent pans that cost $33 and come in lyme, hot pink, high lack and white. i do not recommend those for you , pete hegseth. ed: can't we get them for pete?

what are you going to do? he just says well i'm going to negotiate a better deal. well how exactly are you going to negotiate that somewhat magic wand do you have and usually, the answer is you don't have an answer. pete: here it is! jedediah: that is an important point though because oftentimes left wing academics have that oh , well what are you going to do they don't understand the policy implications of lowering taxes and deregulation so it's the difference between a businessman and a politician oftentimes. pete: you just jumped inside my brain. jedediah: i did. ed: get out get out. pete: get out fast. but that's a government guy. obama is a government guy. he's like what can i do with government to revive this economy. and quantitative easing or the big what do they do? ed: stimulus. pete: stimulus plan its got to be the government. a business guy comes in and says we create more businesses more entrepreneurs, free up the money and give it to people. jedediah: take the government out of the way. pete: yes. ed: to their credit the new york times has a whole analysis piece by neil irin with, who covers the economy closely and says maybe people on the left were wrong because these economists what you were saying is these sort of status quo standard responses, well with this kind of job growth you'll have really high inflation so it doesn't work long term and neil irwin is admitting inflation is staying relatively low, job growth continues to boom and the wage growth which all the 2020 democrats say yeah the jobs are good. pete: wage growth in the bottom third of the economy, so the boats are rising and that's part of what we talked about earlier on the network on special report he talked about this as bad news for democrats, trying to run against this economy. listen. >> well this is great news for america and very bad news for joe biden and look the biggest economic problem we have in america right now is there are more job openings today than there are unemployed people to fill them so when joe biden says are you feeling it? yes, people are feeling it and the people who are feeling it most are the forgotten americans , because manufacturing jobs, half a million manufacturing jobs created in the last year and wages for those people in the wall street journal raised wages for those at the bottom without a high school education rose 6% out pacing everybody else. joe biden's rationale for his campaign is i'm winning back the forgotten voters in like ohio, michigan and wisconsin. ed: those forgotten americans actually have wage growth and new jobs it's obviously good for him if there's trouble for them, then that's something biden could exploit right?
