[chanting u.s.a. ♪ just like fire. ainsley: congratulations it is friday. you made it. steve: congratulations. ainsley: brian has the day off today. who is filling in just back from jerusalem. i want to hear about your trip. pete: i was there for four days. it was amazing. unlike brian i don't say get up and get dressed. i say stay in bed. steve: great to have you. a lot going on. the president is going to be making a big speech this morning. we are all very fascinated to find out what he is going to say. ainsley: glad you brought that up. his speech follows a number of powerful others vice president pence and over g.o.p. leaders highlighting school safety and immigration. steve: griff jenkins is live once again on this friday morning. he is across the potomac in national harbor, mearmd. griff, what can we expect today? >> listen, this is what they came for. the second time. the president trump will address this crowd and it will be interesting to see what sort of tone he strikes. he has to bring the fire and brimstone rhetoric but also strike a national consoling tone as look forward to gun control. let me tell you yesterday it was vice president pence who brought the house down talking about the economy and taxes. and he took a shot at one of this crowd's favorite targets nancy pelosi. take a listen. >> any leader who says that a thousand dollars in the pockets of working families is crumbs is out of touch with the american people. [cheers] >> but, you know, i have been talking to a lot of folks, i talked to students from hofstra walking around. what's everybody talking about? we're talking about gun control and what the president is going to say today and how he is going to secure the children of this nation. and, yesterday, wayne lapierre the head of the nra breaking his silence. here's what he had to say. >> evil walks among us. and god help us if we don't harden our schools and protect our kids. to stop a bad guy with a gun, it takes a good guy with a gun. [cheers and applause] >> now, just to put in perspective, two years ago, donald trump did not come to speak. last year he brought the house down. they were skeptical. today he comes back, leading what many here in the hallways are say something a new conservative revolution in the vein of ronald reagan. this is an important speech not just for this conservative base but across the country as people tune in. and as you see behind me they have the metal door locked. but i'm hoping to get in there as soon as i can. steve: get a pry bar, a crowbar. [laughter] >> i will try to get in. steve: griff, thank you very much. ainsley: thanks, griff. steve: the president, it will be interesting to see what the president does say about school safety because he and the nra are apparently on two different pages because the president has called for hardening our schools. he has also called to up the age where you can buy one of those gun us. ainsley: and the bump stock. steve: expand. the nra has been against raising the age and background checks. what will happen? maybe the president will lay his hand out. pete: it's been the most consequential year for conservatives in our lifetime. some things have gotten done. we ar.sometimes things are fload early on raising the long gun age 21. what do you do with background checks? what does hardening a school mean? a guy with a gun outside the front door or the teacher could say carry concealed in the classroom. ainsley: give them bottom newses if they do. my sister is a teacher in south carolina. my sister doesn't get paid, gosh they don't get paid enough. they really don't. you know, living paycheck to paycheck, that's what our teachers are doing. this gives them an opportunity, if they feel comfortable concealing and carrying, then they can get a bonus. pete: after training and background. all of those things. steve: one of the ideas being floated. president in the listening stage right now. he is taking it all in. yesterday at the security meeting at the white house, he suggested that our schools should be guarded like banks, which is absolutely true. ainsley: yeah. then the nra spokesperson or president, he said, wayne lapierre, he said we should, if we are going to guard our banks, we should at least guard our children. if we are going to give police officers, i mean, if you are going to give politicians police officers to guard them, shouldn't would he be guarding our schools? that brings us to this next topic. we are learning new information this morning the armed guard assigned school resource officer for that school down in florida just before the shooting, he was standing outside. and he did nothing except call for backup. steve: yeah, the sheriff and the superintendent after the shooting last week in parkland were asked hey, there was a guy on campus with a gun. where was they go well, we don't know exactly. so they reviewed the video and they discovered the deputy scott peterson, who had been with the school since, i think 2008, 2009. something like that. he went to the building, stood outside of it for four minutes. keep in mind the entire shooting was six minutes. while the gunman inside gunned people down. the sheriff yesterday said that deputy peterson should have went in, addressed the killer, and killed the killer. he has since -- yesterday he was suspended without pay. and then he decided he was going to resign and then he decided he was going to retire. pete: extremely unfortunate, deadly deficit of courage. i mean, that's what it comes down to. he probably never expected this moment to happen. is he outside with a gun. he hears shots fired. i'm going to call in for backup. what's going on in his head in that second minute and third minute and fourth minute as you are hearing gunshots. ultimately if you have an armed person they have to be prepared. the president railed against active shooter drills. why do we scare kids all day long. steve: don't call it that. pete: we have to harden and prepare. teachers and security be prepared for these moments only training prepares you to go towards the shots of gunfire. no human is used to that instinct, unfortunately in this case that did not happen. ainsley: no crazy person with a gun is going to go to a hard targeted area. they goal into a soft area a gun-free zone. president said defense is important but so is offense. listen. >> unless you're going to have offensive capability, you are wasting your time. you are wasting your time. i want to end the problem. i don't want to have it where this happens again. and unless we are going to have an offensive capability, it's going to happen again and again and again and it's going to be the same old story. we have to harden our schools. not soften them up. a gun-free zone to a killer or somebody that wants to be a killer, that's like going in for the ice cream. that's like here i am, take me. we have to get smart on gun-free zones. when they see this is a gun-free zone, that means nobody has a gun except them. nobody is going to be shooting bullets in the other direction. steve: that is such a good point. we need offensive capability, the president says. he makes a great point. keep in mind, if a bad guy with a gun knows nobody inside a school has a gun he is going to walk in there and that's a gun-free zone and that's just a terrible situation. the president is suggesting we need guns inside the school. is it teachers? is it wayne lapierre yesterday was at an event in oxen hill, maryland. he is the head of the nra. he suggested that schools should hire armed guards. and how do you ever put a price -- people go oh, that's going to be expensive. can you really put a price on school safety? pete: absolutely. ainsley: didn't this school do that? didn't they have an armed guard there? steve: they did. pete: president said in this same meeting you can't live in utopian world you think these things solve themselves. you don't want to turn your schools into prisons either. hardening a target the guy with a gun you don't see but in the back your mind you know it's not a gun-free zone and ultimately then you think twice about doing something. ainsley: meadow who lost her life her dad said the first school shooting should have been the last school shooting. we should have fixed this. rush limbaugh said yesterday he's confident the president will. >> this is going to get fixed like taxes got fixed. the military is in the process of being rebuilt. that's going to get fixed. we are going to fix things to do with obamacare. you may not like the way donald trump talks and speaks. you may not like the fact that donald trump tweets. and you may not like the way donald trump walks. and you may not like this or that about donald trump his behaviorisms and his marriage and so forth. if you ignore that and take a look at what donald trump, the president is, accomplishing and what he is doing, when he was on the campaign trail, he said we're going to make america great again and as often he says we are going to make america safe again. it was in context largely to do with illegal immigration, but they are going to fix this. steve: you know what? he could be right. we have sat on the couch for many school shootings sadly. but this time things just seem different. pete: that's right. you have a commander-in-chief standing up willing to speak blunt truth. in that meeting he was listening. he is also saying that's not a good idea. that's fantasy. that's a bad idea. let's have an honest conversation. you have to have capability, too. that strikes people where they live at. like wayne lapierre said a good guy with a gun is the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun. umphly we could have used a few more good guys this day. steve: elections year do the politicians have the strength to do something important? whatever that is, stay tuned. ainsley: we'll see. let's hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. jillian: good morning to you guys and to you at home as well. a fox news alert, alabama forced to postpone the execution of a killer dying of cancer who claimed his veins were too damaged for lethal injection. medical staff not able to prepare doyle hammably for death warrant expired at midnight. giving the green light for the execution three hours after initially delaying it to consider his request. convicted of killing motel clerk in 1987. in florida, an inmate who raped and called college student yelling murderers while being put to death by lethal injection. crashing on a gurney. before falling silent. putting pressure on the rogue regime over nuclear program. announcement daughter and advisor ivanka trump lands in south korea. she is leading the american delegates at the olympics closing ceremony. the body of billy graham will lie in honor at the u.s. capitol next week. recognition only given to 33 americans. first civil i can't believe honored this way since rosa parks in 2005. graham will be bury you had in charlotte, north carolina. next to his wife in this simply wood casket built by louisiana state penitentiary back in 2006 at the request of his son. that's a look at your headlines, guys. send it back to you. ainsley: built by the inmates. pete: amazing man. ainsley: franklin graham is going to join us in the 8:00 hour to talk about his legacy. steve: thanks, jillian. ainsley: the savage street gang mostly illegal, now we know how much of a threat they are to you and your family. our next guest looks at the numbers. pete: she wants to be the next member of congress campaign strategy in a military area attack her veteran opponent as a crusty old marine. ainsley: probably not the smartest strategy. steve: sara, sara, sara. selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. bundle and save big, but now it's time to find my dream abode. -right away, i could tell his priorities were a little unorthodox. -keep going. stop. a little bit down. stop. back up again. is this adequate sunlight for a komodo dragon?

i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®. steve: shocking new numbers by the center for immigration studies reveal the rising threat of the ms-13 gangs in the united states. according to the report, 207 murders in those red 22 states on your tv screen have been tied to the brutal gang since 2012. the gang exploding during obama's -- president obama's open border policies. if we can't keep our border secure, how are we suppose to keep america safe, people are wondering. joining us now is the director of policy studies at the center for immigration study jessica von. good morning to you. she joins us from burlington, vermont. >> good morning. steve: this gang bursts into the american consciousness during the obama years because of why? >> well, yes. the gang had been here before, but definitely had a rebound during the obama years because, first of all immigration enforcement declined in the interior of the country deliberately under the obama administration. they put restrictions on ice officers on who they could arrest. and also during this time there was this influx illegal arrivals from central america. mostly teenagers, but also some families with kids who benefited from the catch and release policies that the obama administration had in place. and they were resettled in places all over the country, which happened to be those very same places where ms-13 has seen a resurgence. and the gang knew about the lenient policies and was deliberately taking advantage of them to build its ranks here. and they have been on a horrific crime spree ever since. steve: no kidding. we have got some facts. 207 murders have been tied to ms-13 since 2012. 500 ms-13 members charged for major crimes since 2012 as well. and i understand that since january of 2016, there have been 17 people killed by ms-13. but here's the thing. it's hard to deport a lot of these people, jessica, because they are in sanctuary areas. >> that is a problem. we found that about half of the cases we looked at took place in sanctuary jurisdictions. these places are a magnet for illegal settlement and especially for transnational criminal organizations because they know that police are forced to look the other way at their immigration status. they can't work with ice. so it's -- that's a great deal for them. it gives them sanctuary. steve: you got to like the proposal by lee zeldin a congressman from the great state of new york. he has introduced protecting our communities from gang violence it would revoke the citizenship of people who acquired citizenship and were involved in a gang like ms-13. does this bill have a chance to make it to the president's desk? >> i think it might. because the house is going to hopefully be moving on some good immigration legislation. the goodlatte bill securing america's future act. and i think it's important to include this provision to denaturalize gang members. we don't want them being citizens. steve: right. >> if they benefit from amnesty or marrying an american citizen. it's a good tool for immigration to have. steve: sure. >> and there may be a way to do that. steve: let's see what happens. jessica vaughan, thank you for joining us from vermont. >> thank you, steve. steve: terror tunnels built underground designed kill innocent israelis in gaza. our very own pete hegseth went inside. there he is. that report next. n be a big dea. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. other side effects include upper respiratory tract infection and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you're pregnant or planning to be. ♪ otezla. show more of you. where are we taking him?

>> he wanted to be a part of the church that was conservative, believed the bible it was interesting. my mom was there, she trusted in christ at that crusade. they announced he would preach at first baptist dallas the next sunday. he joifned the church that day. my mom said if it's good enough for billy graham, it's good enough for me. i'm the pastor of first baptist dallas because of billy graham. ainsley: you are not alone. millions got saved because of him. >> absolutely. ainsley: what does that mean for people that don't feel like they have had salvation experience u what does that mean. >> it doesn't matter whether you are baptist, catholic, just, hindu, muslim. the fact is we are awful sinners, we need a savior. simple message billy preached throughout his ministry and millions of people all races all nationalities responded to that message. ainsley: it's not about religion. we have too much religion already. this is about having a relationship with christ. and his message was so simple. is that why it resonated? >> absolutely. it was a simple message and it was built on the bible. you know, when he started ministering in the late 40's and 50's. many main line demonstrations were preaching pop psychology and philosophy and current events. but billy always said the bible says, the bible says. and that's why he had such authority. ainsley: you can't argue with that you have a special story you wanted to share with us. >> when i was 19, i started having doubts of whether the bible was really the word of god. i remember going to a conference where billy spoke at the university of illinois. and he told about a similar experience when he was a teenager and how one night on a florida golf clu golf coure was walking around and he threw himself on the ground and said i don't understand the bike. i'm not even sure i believe it but with your help i will believe it and preach it the best i could. i heard that as a 19-year-old and with tears streaming down my face i said god, i'm making that same commitment tonight. later on a few hours later i accidently ran into billy graham. i told him of the commitment i made that night. he affirmed it he signed the note in my bible and it's something i treasure for the rest of my life because billy graham transformed my life in ministry through his faithfulness. ainsley: when i read your story, i thought he is just like us. you know, everyone has doubts at some point in their life. and he is relatable. >> yes, he is. ainsley: we look at him as this big celebrity. he is all of that but he also is a human being and he had doubts about his faith. >> i heard diane sawyer ask him one time what is it going to be like in heaven and have those rewards. he surprised her he said i don't think i have that many rewards in heaven because i got them on earth. it's going to be people you never heard of, plumbers, doctors, missionaries who served christ faithfully. that's the only thing i disagree with billy graham about. i think he is having unending rewards because of his faithfulness. ainsley: his crowns are stacking up face author sure. isis plot to shoot down a passenger plane hackers. how they did it thousands of miles away with only a keyboard. energy secretary rick perry set to appear at cpac today. before that he is going to join us live. stick around. see what he is doing to keep your family safe. #nosleep #mouthbreather just put on a breathe right strip it instantly opens your nose... up to 38% more than cold medicine alone go to breatheright.com today to request a free sample. pete: welcome back. last july australian police halted an isis plot to take down a civilian airliner but not without some help. >> we revealed today that israel's intelligence services prevented the shooting down of australian airliner. i can tell you this is one of many many such actions that we did preventing terrorism around the world. steve: apparently credit belongs to unit 2800 the israeli defense forces secretive and high tech cyber spy unit is that true equivalent of our nsa and you probably have never heard of them. ainsley: thankfully they were watching closely. who are those elite cyber heroes. joining us is the cyberguy kurt knuteson. >> these are the great people who actually, interesting, in the country of israel, state of israel, you also have this mandatory military service. so when you graduate high school. you need to sign up and enlist in the idf. ainsley: men and women. if you are really really lucky, have yo you have been wad in your high school and might have been encoding after school. interest groups. they are watching. get a letter of interest. we would like to welcome to you this secret group called unit 8200. same group back on july 15th. we just learned from netanyahu that a jet in australia, in sydney was on its way. the aircraft was about to depart for abu daby. 18 to 21-year-olds, about 5,000 of them. end up contacting australian security forces and thwart two isis suspects who were about to board the aircraft when what looked like a meat minutesser instead was a detonation device. ainsley: how could they see what those guys were carrying on. >> that's it. this group of hackers are extraordinary about prying open anything when it comes to intelligence or technology. imagine a group of part-time pee that are scrappy, young, and thrown all kinds of missions without any real giant tools except their intelligence and a lot of technology. and they can turn that into a can opener and listen to other devices throughout the world. they utilize and this is speculation because they have never confirmed this, but a lot of reports say that they fly around on gulf stream jets with hackers in these jets with a bunch of listening equipment as well as they utilize embassies. but they are thought a desert in secret base in israel. ainsley: are they watching our planes too? >> you would hope. pete: more collaboration between u.s. and israeli intelligence these days. >> as you know. steve: all those people on that airplane have their lives to thank. >> we learned also there is about 14 other events that they have thwarted. steve: hats off to them. kurt, thank you very much. pete: well done. steve: more "fox & friends" coming up after a brief time-out. manatees in novelty ts?

[chanting build that wall] >> so build that wall. they were fired up about that. this is the fire and brimstone crowd. this is the core of the base for conservatives. and they wanted to hear it. and the thing that they are really talking about in the halls as i walk up and down here all day yesterday is gun control. wayne lapierre the head of the nra breaking his silence yesterday to this crowd yesterday morning. here's what he had to say >> evil walks among us, and god help us if we don't harden our schools and protect our kids. >> to stop a bad guy with a gun, it takes a good guy with a gun. [applause] >> it will be fascinating to see what president trump says because he is sort of speaking to the entire nation today as they look for solution to solve this senseless violence. but also, he is going to have to bring some pretty strong rhetoric. that's what this crowd wants. there is going to be a lot of good speakers today energy secretary rick perry as well as interior secretary ryan zinke and our own lawyer ingraham as well as kellyanne conway. going to be exciting day, guys, this crowd is already falling. in they are fired up and ready to go. steve: see the president live right here on the channel. griff, thank you very much. you will see rick perry the secretary of energy. he will be on this show about 15 minutes from right now. pete: as the vice president pointed out from the podium yesterday at cpac. he said this is the conservative president we have been waiting for. he went through the entire litany what's been done in the first year. if you are a conservative and love this country, you couldn't help but stand on your feet and give an ovation to what has been done over the last year. a lot of execution on things that have been promised for a long time. ainsley: yesterday he sat down with law enforcement to continue that listening session about how we can make our schools safer. the message it seems over the last few weeks has been safety whether or not that's on the border or whether or not that's in our schools. steve: sure, and of course the president has mentioned maybe we should increase the age where can you buy one of those long guns to 21. expand background checks. those are two things the nra does not like. the president also has kind of floated this idea, you know, schools are gun-free zones. and so, maybe if the bad guys didn't know whether or not random teacher in a school might be -- have a conceal carry permit, maybe that would note onl not only bea deterrent but line of defense. interesting article today in the "new york times" talks about how a lot of educators have come out and said the last thing we want to do is turn our teachers into guards. but, apparently there are dozens of schools scattered across the united states where they actually have teachers who are armed. ainsley: we interviewed that sheriff and he said i'm offering free training to any teacher. and he has hundreds of teachers have signed up for it mentioned possibly giving them bonuses if they get their conceal carry license. pete: pardon my skepticism that the "new york times" may have talked to a certain particular set of teachers. i would know a lot of teachers love the ability to responsibly carry concealed. it's not just about defense. part of hardening is giving a good guy to ability to go on offense. listen to what the president said. >> unless you're going to have offensive capability. you're wasting your time. you're wasting your time. i want to end the problem. i don't want to have it where this happens again. unless we are going to have offensive capability, it's going to happen again and again and again. and it's going to be the same old story. we have to harden our schools. not soften them up. a gun-free zone to a killer or somebody who wants to be a killer, that's like going in for the ice cream. that's like here i am. take me. we have to get smart on gun-free zones. when they see this is a gun-free zone, that means nobody has a gun except them. nobody is going to be shooting bullets in the other directions. steve: here's the problem. the president may say we need an offensive capability. here's the problem down in parkland, florida. and that is it was announced yesterday by the sheriff down there that apparently a school resource officer with a gun was on campus and they wondered where was he? why didn't he respond? as it turns out he was standing outside the building. the shooting inside the building lasted six minutes. he stood outside for four minutes apparently waiting for backup. deputy scott peterson who has been with the school for about 10 years yesterday he was first of all suspended. and then he resigned and then he retired. pete: deficit of courage definitely. and clearly he didn't have the training to be prepared to respond either. so if you are going to arm teachers responsibly, then you would also give them guidelines about how and when to respond. ainsley: do you think he was too scared. pete: hear shots of gunfire if you are average person carrying a gun, not trained, your instincts tell to you hunker down. they don't tell to you charge toward th hell fire bullet. you know how to respond in that moment. i'm sure he is sitting there regretting his actions that day. if more people armed the chance goes up that someone takes that courageous act. steve: earlier in the program we told you about a new report that is out that apparently ms-13 is now in 22 states and responsible for something like 207 deaths. ainsley: murders, yeah. steve: exploded during the obama years because of their lax immigration policy and allowing those undocumented minors to come, in turning many of them into daca recipients. the president has tweeted about this separately in the last half hour. ainsley: ms-13 gang members he says are being removed by our great ice and border patrol agents by the thousands. these killers come back in from el salvador and mexico like water. el salvador just takes our money and mexico must help more with this problem. we need the wall. pete: though this point jessica vaughn the director of policy studies at the center for immigration studies which has looked deeply into this topic of ms-13. this is what she had to say on it. >> there was this influx of illegal arrivals from central miracle. mostly teenagers buy also some families with kids who benefited from the catch and release policies that the obama administration had in place. and they were resettled in places all over the country. which happened to be those very same places where ms-13 has seen a resurgence. and the gang knew about the lenient policies and was deliberately taking advantage of them to build its ranks here and they have been on a horrific crime spree ever since. ainsley: according to the report half the crimes occurring in sanctuary cities where nothing can be done about it. pete: that's what the president is pointing out. you have a afternoon and release problem. then you have a border problem. and then you have a sanctuary city problem. and it's why the president yesterday also float you had the idea hey, if you want to have a sanctuary city, we can pull out our ice agents, too and see how that works out. steve: in california. pete: talking common sense to a world where there are no borders, there is no enforcement and wonder why gangs flourish. the president when he talks about it is delivering simple common sense. steve: 207 dead people responsible for ms-13 that's jaw-dropping. ainsley: hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. hello. jillian: we are following breaking news right now. starting with this fox news alert. alabama forced to postpone the execution of a killer dying of cancer who

their investigation into the anti-trump dossier. they want to know what members of the obama administration knew and when they knew it. here to discuss republican mark meadows of north carolina and jim jordan of ohio. gentlemen, thank you for joining us this morning. i really appreciate it congressman. >> great to be with you. pete: absolutely. congressman meadows, let me start with you. in a letter obtained by fox news, committee chairman devin up in necessary, republican from california, posed a series of questions about the dossier. what do you anticipate they're trying to find out about who knew what and when? >> i think those 10 questions are key. is who in the government knew what and did they know that the democratic party and hillary clinton had actually paid for it? it was interesting in the tease that you had with brennan, here you have an intelligence officer saying that he didn't know where the dossier's origination came from. well, if he can't find that he would have a hard time find terrorists. so, you know, it doesn't pass a smell test. we have got to find out who in the government knew what when. pete: your reference is to director john brennan who testified in may of 2017 that the trump dossier was virtually unknown to him. congressman jordan have you been all over this issue as well. is it conceivable in light of the case that was built on behalf of the dossier that the former cia director would almost know nothing about it? >> well, you would find that hard to believe. but that's what devin is going to figure out. that's why he sent it to almost 2 dozen members of the government. key people. can you probably guess who they are. state department people. fbi people. two dozen people. if they don't give the answers is he going to subpoena them. that's what we have to do to get to the bottom of this. one of the things last week, pete, that was really important. senator cotton's questioning of director wray, he asked him about russian oligarch. and he said was christopher steele being paid by this russian oligarch during this time when he was putting together this dossier which was taken to the fisa court? and director wray's response was i can't talk about that here. we can talk about that in a classified setting. so we don't know if the answer to that question is yes. but if it is, think about this fact. the clinton campaign part of the dossier. the democratic national committee paid for the dossier. and if a russian oligarch was paying the author of the dossier at the same time, that is unbelievable. now, we don't know, but that question i think sure raised suspicion and concern just like this letter that devin sent with his 10 questions that we got to get the answer to. pete: absolutely. congressman meadows from the conservative perspective, very briefly, we only have 20 seconds here. on the gun debate, what aspect does the freedom caucus want to see of anything considered? >> i think what you found even as recently as last night, what we do know is that the government was notified of a health concern. the government was notified of the fbi. even last night we saw a government school resource officer. more government doesn't solve the problem. pete: sounds exactly baseline what the freedom caucus stands for. gentlemen, thank you very much for joining us this morning. >> thank you, pete. pete: you got it she was running an illegal day care and she ditched the kids to hit the gym. and get a tan. but that's not even the worst part. you see that? gym tan prison. and

to you. >> great to see you guys. steve: have you six kids, you wonder what they are doing online. that was the quest, isn't it. >> it is. i think that's the universal concern of all parents whose kids use a phone or an ipad is what is this doing to their brain? what is this doing to their ability to relate to their friends, their family, their ideas from the whole world from this little device. and my wife and i wanted to get in front of this whole thing and not do damage control but actually learn from experts how this effecting our kids and what can we do to help prepare them to be champions with their eyes wide open good things with technology not being harmed by it. pete: one approach you don't get any technology at all and the other is where do you try to find that reality in something digital? that's the whole point. >> that's what connect is all about. i wouldn't throw my car keys to my 10-year-old and say have a great time although i want them to drive eventually. i sit them next to me and say let's drive down the street around the block until you same with technology. my wife and i say let's learn how to use this account. how to do. this open internet connection can lead to pornography, exposure to predators online. to incredible addiction to that kind of technology. and i think we as parents need to stay connected in rich, fully engaged relationships with our kids. big message of connect. giving parents real help. connecting our kids and preparing them and keeping them safe. ainsley: what made you want to do this project? >> i started hearing stories and even the reports from the founding facebook president saying god only knows what this is doing to our kids' brains. they don't wants their own kids on their platforms. i saw the top of my kids' heads too much as they're looking at this not talking to each other, texting people at the same table. and i thought, you know what? surely this is something we need to pay real close attention to. steve: there are programs where parents can monitor your child's online presence. but at what age does a parent turn it off? it's like okay, you are on your own now? >> i think every parent has got to make that call for their own kid. different for each kid in your family. so, for us, we would give freedom and responsibility as our kids were able to handle it because i want them to. i lo technology. i want them to be able to use it for good. so how is a parent going to notoriety time? by being in relationship with them. don't look it up on siri. she doesn't know. you know because you are their

one of the other speakers is rick perry former governor of the great state of texas and currently the secretary of the u.s. department of energy. mr. secretary, good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning to you all. steve: great to have you. we will play a sound bite for you because having lived down in texas your whole life, you are very concerned with immigration. here's the president yesterday talking about if california is going to be a sanctuary state, maybe the federal government should pull the ice guys out. listen to this. >> frankly, it's a disgrace. the sanctuary city situation, the protection of these horrible criminals, you know because you are working on it the protection of these horrible criminals in california in and other places. if we ever pulled our ice out. let california alone, let them figure it out for themselves, in two months they would be begging for us to come back. they would be begging. and you know what? i'm thinking about doing it. steve: governor, what do you think? >> well, i think that this whole issue of immigration has always been incredibly difficult one. if it wasn't, it would have been done a long time ago. the president is a first rate negotiator. is he clearly sending some messages not just to california, but also to congress. so, i feel quite certain they will get it all worked out and get this country safe and get an immigration plan in place that indeed does what i think most americans want to do, make sure we know who everybody is that's coming into this country. a clear line to become american citizen. and the rule of law. and holding the day. pete: governor, he also tweeted this morning that the wall is a big part of that i know you have been supportive of that also. part of the reason you are at cpac and what you are talking about these days and emphasizeelm if a emphasizing department of energy. emergency response. describe that new initiative. >> well, clearly, cyber is the new frontier if you will from the standpoint of cyber warfare, attacking particularly the electrical systems, the grids. we saw ukraine attacked both in 2015 and 2016 by the russians. and we saw ransom ware shut down an entire hospital this last year in this country. so cyber warfare is very serious. people's lives are in jeopardy the department of agency is the sector specific agency to protect those electrical grids from the cyber type of attacks. we work with other agencies as well. both the dod and others. dealing with cyber issues. so, we look at this as one of our most important jobs to protect american citizens, protect wherever they might be. and innovating, rather than regulating is the real difference between this administration and the previous administration. we believe that we'll come up with innovation rather than just government regulating and putting another law on the books. you're going to see some really, i think, leading edge innovation. we have the biggest super computing capability in the world in the united states, five of the fastest super computers belong to the department of energy. so, you will see our data analysis being a great deal of this as well as we move towards the scale model and doe is right in the middle of all of that. ainsley: will you explain what this means in layman's terms? are repreventing hacking or preventing nuclear plants from being attacked and what is a super computer? >> anxiously, all of the above. when we talk about protecting the american citizens from a cyber attack, we're talking about viruses that can be put into systems that can lay there literally for years undetected that previously and we have the ability now with our computers that in a super computer being one that has the ability to move at such massive rates of data through there and extraordinary speeds. to be able to analyze just massive amounts of data. we are moving into mississippis what we call machine learning. on the edge of artificial intelligence. i mean, it is moving at incredibly fast pace. the department of energy is keeping up with that. we have got 17 national labs that are the vast majority of them have some role in this cyber security business. steve: well, that's great. i'm glad you are being vigilant. meanwhile you are there at national harbor at cpac. you're going to actually turn around and go up to the stage in a little while and give a speech. what are you going to tell folks? >> well, i'm on the stage with brian zinke. we're going to talk about energy independence and the total change in the world energy wise. 15 years ago the united states was dependent on a lot of countries that didn't necessarily -- weren't necessarily our best friends. let's put it that way. today the united states produces more oil and gas than any other nation in the world. our ability to geopolitically affect the world with energy is one of the things we are going to talk about. the federal lands and opening up those federal lands of which ryan zinke and the department of interior have oversight will be part of that conversation. we're also going to talk about some interesting things that we do that people might not think our agencies would be involved with. for instance, the department det of energy stands up an office of veterans healthcare. y'all know my interest in veterans back through the years. and we're going to be able to use our national labs, looking at some very nontraditional ways to address veterans' health in a program called mvp which is million veteran program doing d.n.a. tests on a million veterans and being able to give them some advice on what you need to look out for in the future because we have looked at your d.n.a. and ways to deal with post-traumatic stress and brain injury. ainsley: that is great. pete: i have learned a little about it i would be interested in learning more. what was the liability once on energy is now a massive point of leverage. and this administration has made that a big focus. it's great to see. >> yeah. and i talked about cyber security and innovation vs. regulation. this is really down that path if you will. because innovation is what is completely changed out energy scenario in this country. the previous administration just wanted to regulate it. steve: all right. day two of cpac in maryland about to commence out there in national harbor. governor, thank you very much for joining us live. ainsley: thank you so much. >> you are welcome. good to be with you all. god speed. ainsley: that's so fascinating if they can

what is she like? what do you want her to know. >> my daughter is my life. all my kids are my world. i'm a father first and foremost. and if my kids don't realize that their father, any father lost them, it's going to be a pretty rough life to grow up and accomplish anything they can think that they want to have any goal or dreams to obtain in their life. and so being a police officer, being a police officer is also something really special that my kids understand of serving my community and doing the best i can that they also give me that leeway to show up when i can and support them when every time i can. ainsley: tessa, what's your message for your dad? what's he like? >> well, i know that my dad sometimes can't come to our activities, including with my brother and my sister's activities that they do, and i know that he usually takes a lot of time and able to do that. and so i'm very grateful and blessed that he is able to be with me and that he is able to be such a great father. ainsley: all right. so were you embarrassed or were you happy about this?

>> first, steve, let me, i don't want to brush over the fact that i spent a couple of hours with the president last saturday night. he friday had visited the victims of the parkland massacre, the survivors of the that massacre. he was deeply touched when he spoke. he could not believe severity and savagery of those wound. i really do believe the president is keen on doing something dramatic and revolutionary. i do believe he will advocate for this juvenile assault weapons ban, raising the aiming that a young person can buy one of these deadly machines from 18 to 20 up with. i do think that he is going to do that. he will stick to his guns. he is at loggerheads on that particular issue. i'm fascinated to see how that crowd will react to him when he says that. now in terms of hardening of the schools, i had a vice principal in my high school, many years ago, obviously, who in the summertime was a nothing state trooper. obviously trained and licensed to carry a firearm. he was also our assistant football coach. he's the guy in the school that i would extremely comfortable being armed. i believe that he is the kind of person that the president of the united states is talking about when he says we need some offensive capability in the school. we had some in parkland. bitter irony is, but the broward deputy stayed outside and chickened out and let down the kids inside. so you had all grown-ups to protect the kids in parkland letting those kids down. the fbi not following clues on shouted from the rooftops that this kid was potential danger. a deputy outside, armed deputy, instead of going if as they are trained to do ever since columbine stayed outside and hid behind a concrete barrier. ainsley: that deputy, scot peterson, he resigned. he had to resign because the boss and the deputy superintendent was why you were outside four for minutes calling for backup, when you can hear the guy inside killing 17 individuals and you never ran inside? what is your reaction. when you count his overtime he was making more than $100,000, not running in when kids lives were in danger? >> pete can tell you about what happens with cowardice in face of the enemy in combat. these cops are trained for that exactly that moment. that is why he was there. ainsley: he thought he was, he thought he was doing a good job. he said he was doing what he was trained to do. >> baloney. he was cowering when he should have bp saving children. pete: he was totally unprepared. we had representative mark meadows on the show earlier. what you're proposing geraldo, frankly more government solutions. we raised the handgun age to 21. if we raise the long gun age, to 21, don't 18, 19, 20-year-olds have right to self-defense. >> no. pete: they don't have? >> they don't have the right to buy beer. he have this to right to fight and die formed their country geraldo but don't have a right to defend themselves male or female, citizens, 19, 20, years old. >> why do we have the rule about drinking? we expect the father of five. pete: let's add more rules. >> children grow up. they go through these teenage years and they are evolving. they have boyfriend problem, a girlfriend problem. they have been bullied, this or that. there are issues we don't want them drinking. they will go drive. they will get in trouble. if you can't buy beer how is it that you can buy an ar-15? five of the last six massacres have been committed with this killing weapon. pete: not enshrined in our constitution, geraldo, second amendment says we have the right to defend ourself. in a free country there are absolute rights. you can say what you want with the first amendment. why technocrat, a government employee decide when i get right to defend myself. 19-year-old girl on dangerous streets, why shouldn't she carry a weapon if necessary. >> major, i love you, you have a situation here, 39 times cops called to his house. the administrators in the school don't want hill in the building with a backpack. this kid, hold it, this kid can go to a gun store, put down his $1000, wonder where he to the it, get an ar-15. here is troubled kid, visited by the authorities. everyone thinks that he is pariah, next school shooter he can buy an ar-15, that keeps your kid safe? my goodness, president of the united states has evolved on this issue. you will see, this, he will do more for controlling this problem than president obama ever did. ainsley: geraldo, my only concern is that more of a mental illness problem? i grew up in a family where my dad and my brother, they love, and many south carolinians, love when hunting season opens up, go out there as father-son team. my dad taught my brother how to hunt. if he couldn't do that until 21 years old. >> steve: couldn't buy the gun. ainsley: but still use the gun? steve: yeah. >> ainsley there is reason to own an ar-15 unless you -- pete: sure there is. >> if you're in a sports club. pete: i own one, i would use it to defend myself. >> i got no problems with you owning it. pete: who gets to decide i'm acceptable and guy next to me isn't acceptable? who sides whether someone is mentally ill or not? what happens to due process? >> you answer your own question, pete, here you are, a prudent, reasonable veteran of the united states armed forces and, i don't, i don't, even though i know that ar-15 is not used for hunting, never used for hunting. this high velocity with high capacity magazines, give me a break! you're not going to hunt duck with an ar-15. what you will do, pretend to be rambo. your whole personality changes when you hold that weapon. you know this is your trophy weapon. you imagine the black helicopters, how are you going to fight off the bad guys. every videogame has a ar-15 clutched. same weapon as m-16 with slight modifications. the kid was dreaming his nightmarish revenge. ainsley: worst school shooting was with a handgun. not a ar-15. >> i covered virginia tech. i understand that. ainsley: that is slippery slope. >> the last six massacres was ar-15. it changes your personality. steve: look at the things the president proposed over the last week, whether or not they would have kept what happened last week from happening. last week he talked about how he would like the department of justice to look into getting rid or banning gun stocks. bump stocks. would have done anything in this instance? no. >> in las vegas it would have. steve: but not in this one. you look at background checks. would that have made a difference, give the fact the government fell down in many places? probably not. when it comes to the purchase of the gun, particular long gun, age 21. would that have stopped it? >> he was 18 1/2 when he bought the gun. steve: so change it to 21. >> my god, when i spoke to the president, he recounted to me, our faces were like this, he recounted to me his reaction to seeing the survivors. they weren't, the victim of an ar-15 doesn't get, not like in the movies where someone wear as sling and little red stain. these kids had arms blown off. these kids were maimed. pete: why he came back with common-sense approach. >> it is historic approach. my point is, here is a republican, conservative president who is going to do more for controlling this problem than any liberal democrat ever did. with the background checks. with the no-fly zone, no-fly list you don't get a gun. steve: okay. >> if you have a protection order you don't get a gun license. troubled 18-year-old from parkland high school you don't get a gun. steve: yesterday we heard from wayne laperriere the guy who runs the.

>> no. there is near record amount of job openings right now. people are saying, take this job, because i can get a better one. the only problem we've got in this country, something of a skills gap we must find a way to work on to stay repreeminent in the world. people are starting to make the move. starting to quit. better jobs for higher pay. we will see continuous, strong wage gains from here on out. watch these numbers, every time the employment number comes out, watch the wage gains. they come up and pick up big time. ainsley: are we seeing people go towards technical schools versus a college? because they still do make a lot of money in the technical industry? >> we should. the amount of welding jobs out there, the construction industry, the only thing holding back the housing market, is lack of carpenters, people with those schools. what happened during the great recession, older carpenters or welders a lot of them quit their jobs. we didn't see older person bringing someone, a nephew or friend, train them, entrepreneurship, apprenticeship went away. we have a skills gap gulf. but the opportunities, we're on cusp of something major in this country. steve: you sound like mike rowe. >> i like mike rowe a lot. steve: thank you, charles. ainsley: he was a pastor but he was also a father. billy graham's son is here live tora honor his dad's legacy. ♪ the tears are in your eyes, mvo: how hard is it just to take some time out of your day to give him a ride to school and show him you support him. ♪ and don't be ashamed to cry, ♪ let me see you through, ♪ 'cause i've seen the dark side too. ♪ ♪ when the night falls on you, ♪ you don't know what to do, mvo: when disaster strikes to one, we all get together and support each other. that's the nature of humanity. ♪ i'll stand by you, ♪ won't let nobody hurt you. ♪ i'll stand by you, ♪ so if you're mad, get mad, ♪ don't hold it all inside, ♪ come on and talk to me now. ♪ hey, what you got to hide?

>> first of all my father was faithful preaching the gospel, it was not only a message of god's love, but god's warning. there is judgment. all of us have a life to live. but after that the judgment. we have to stand before god. my father wanted people to know how they could have their sins forgiven. by putting their faith and trust in god's son jesus christ who came to this earth to take our sins. he died for our sins, hung on a cross and shed his blood for our sins, was buried. god raised his son to life. jesus is to the dead. my father is not dead. he is more alive than ever. he is in the presence of almighty god. this can be each and everyone's hope if they put their faith and trust in jesus christ. they is can have assurance of sins forgiven and being in heaven with god for eternity. as a family we're sad, but at same time we rejoice. we know where our father is. we'll join him one day. ainsley: how do you have the strength this morning to come on national television to talk about him without getting choked up? you're so strong? >> i loved my father and i know where he is. and i know that he is in the presence of god. so, like i said, i'm sad and there is a hole in my heart because i miss him but at the same time, he is with god. he preached about heaven. he talked about heaven. he wrote a book on heaven. guess what? he is in heaven. so i'm excited for him. steve: yeah. franklin for young people who are unfamiliar with the story of billy graham, the other day when the news broke during our show, we tried to tell as much about his humble start but he really started on the radio. he was on somebody's show out in los angeles. there was just something about that show, people said, we got to put him on all the time. william randolph hearst would run columns about the billy graham crusades. what was his message in the early days, and why was it so potent he became the biggest preacher of all time? >> his message was the same when he started preaching in the '40s as it was when he finished preaching in the '90s. his same message, that god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, who so every believeeth in him should not perish but have every lasting life. that is message my father preached. it's a message of god. god gave it to my father. billy graham was a country boy from mechanic henneberg county in charlotte, north carolina. negative saw himself as celebrity. he always saw himself as a farm boy. for some reason god touched him. something god did, steve, that is just, it is just god. and my father would, if he were sitting here right now he would tell you the same thing. was god. ainsley: you know what i loved about your parents? i watch ad dvd, you know the one i'm talk about, infomercial 10 years ago, talked about your mom's life when she died. i bought it, i went through it. i watch it occasionally because she is the woman i strive to be. what about your parents relationship? in this day and age, so many broken marriages, some things wrong in the home? can you tell us what your parents did to keep that glue together? >> well, first of all, in our home, we had devotions every morning and every evening as a family. and my mother and father read scriptures and studied the scriptures together. my mother memorized scripture. every day, up until the week she died she was still memorizing scrip tough. i think it is the bible my mother and father made that the center of their life. they loved god. they loved the lord jesus christ. they wanted to study the bible. they wanted the home to be a christian home. i don't ever remember my mother and father arguing. i'm sure they did when they back and closed the doors but in front of us children, they were always united, working together. and if my mother said something, my father backed her. if my father said something, mother backed him. and they were, they were united in front of us children. i just appreciate the godly example that my mother and father set in the home. steve: reverend graham, we were showing a montage of the dozen presidents that your father met with and prayed with as well. >> yeah. steve: that had to have been an awesome responsibility but almost a burden perhaps, to think you know, hey, the leader of the free world is asking me for advice? >> well, my father tried to keep his advice spiritual and many times they would ask him questions about politics or would ask him questions about something they were facing at that particular time but he always tried to keep his comments based on the word of god, what god had to say. so as a result of that he prayed with them. he counseled them from the word of god and he was friend with all of them, even up to our current president, president trump. they have known each other and they had been friend. pete: reverend, your father had an awesome responsibility as steve said, dozen president, counselor to them, for that reason his body will lie in honor in two days next week in the rotunda of the u.s. capitol building. the reverend is the first private citizen to receive that privilege since rosa parks in 2005. he is in heaven, that is where he would want to be, but what does that mean to your family to have such a legacy? >> first of all it's a great honor that the nation would want to on nor a man of god. so as a family we're humbled and just grateful that the nation is doing this for my father. but my father lived a life that was consistent. he never changed. he was always faithful to the message that god gave him to preach. that was god so loved world. so that is what my father preached. but he warned people, again, remember there sis a judgment. god is going to judge sin. and yes, god is a god of love but he is a just god. and he will judge sin. only way we can be forgiven is under the blood of christ. steve: reverend franklin graham, remembering his father. ainsley: in death he has found life. rest in peace. thank you so much. >> thank you. ainsley: god bless you. >> thank you. steve: we are going to take a quick timeout. mike huckabee is coming up. ainsley: we are back with a fox news alert. moments ago teachers and staff returning to marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida. pete: it comes a little more than a week after a gunman opened fire there killing 17 people. steve: today the school is dedicated to the needs of school employees. there will be support services available on campus. the plan at this point is to perhaps, joined like have the children come back to school next tuesday. meanwhile let's bring in mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas, fox news contributor. former presidential candidate as well. governor, good morning to you. joining us today from nashville. >> good morning, steve and ainsley and pete. great to be with you guys. steve: good to have you. the president has been listening ever since what happened last week happened down in parkland, and he has got a lot of ideas. we heard maybe he is going to suggest raising the age to buy that kind of a long gun, better background checks into mental health. maybe making sure that there is somebody with a gun inside of a school, whether it's a teacher or a paid security guard. where do we go from here? >> well i think the president's done a good job of trying to a simulate all the ideas that people are bringing together. but let's keep in mind, this shooting should have never happened. if the bib if -- fbi and local sheriff's department fulfilled their obligations and duties this kid would never have been able to purchase a weapon and certainly never been able to show up on the school ground to kill 17 people. add to the tragedy, a person with a gun, with a uniform at the school at the time of shooting, he was taking cover behind a concrete post, instead of going in and stopping the shooting. people say what can we do? we can do the things that we are supposed to already be doing. we could have agencies that actually do the jobs that they're tasked to do. pete: governor your critics will say stance, then is to do nothing. what you're pointing out there were government layers an institutions there and they failed to meet their obligation, yet what we're talking about the national conversation are more layers of federal government control. what then is your solution for a left looking for an automatic silver bullet? >> i certainly don't subscribe to the idea of doing nothing. but the nothing is why we had the shooting. the nothing that was done about it fbi. in relationship to the facebook post for this kid, they couldn't identify him even though his name was clearly in the post. the nothing done by the sheriff's department, when they had over 30 different visits to the kid's home. the nothing done by the guard who took cover rather than to take charge. those are not nothings. those are somethings. there is a great piece that is available on twitter, i, twitted a repeat by ari shulman. it's a long thread looking at this, we didn't have mass shootings untilled mid '60s. didn't proliferate until the late '80s. why? not a matter of presence of guns, we have as many guns per person now as we did then but here is something i think does matter. the fact that we give these shooters infamy. give them so much attention. we put their faces and their names widely on the screen, in every newspaper. there are some people whose lives are so insignificant they feel like this is the way they can finally have some level of infamy. i think we should simply never mention their names, don't put their faces up. just call them an animal. call them whatever you want to call testimony, let's not make them celebrities. i really believe that is something we could do immediately. i know that is a hard ask of the media, but frankly, we shouldn't be giving these guys the celebrity of being able to say, i'm on every newspaper in america. ainsley: you're right. there are several things that will have to change. we don't like taking our shoes off at the airport, as a result of terrorism we have to do. something will have to be done here. let's move on to another topic. fox news alert, we just learned during the president's cpac speech today in hour and 20 minutes the president will announce the largest sanctions package, i think we lost the governor. let us tell you this. the president -- last years' ad campaign was a success for choicehotels.com badda book. badda boom. this year, we're taking it up a notch. so in this commercial we see two travelers at a comfort inn with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too if i book direct at choicehotels.com". who glows?

ainsley: technical difficulty. >> we have no idea, in the control room everything went blank for some reason. we're trying to figure it out. that is the explanation why we cut governor huckabee a little short. pete: that's right. we'll try to get him back. steve: ainsley was about to do a fox news alert. coming up we have a little bit of news when the president will be talking about at cpac. ainsley: he is speaking 10:00 this morning at cpac, announcing massive, he says quote sanctions against north korea. meantime, pete you just flew back from jerusalem. pete: that's right. ainsley: tell us about your trip. pete: i got back from a four-day tour of jerusalem, sponsored by the national council of young israel and my friend joe. i was tagging along with the israeli defense forces, idf. they he can more them, terror tunnels in gaza. take a look. here we are just roughly 700 meters from the gaza border inside of a tunnel. >> it is a tunnel. to build this kind of structure and to build military force. pete: they could be using for people and hospitals. otherwise going into something like this. >> the only purpose is to do massive killing inside of israel. pete: so every day, it is part of your job, to find more terror tunnels? >> we have technology, but in the end you need to discover from one meter, this is what you need to discover, 15 or 20 meters. october to januarys we found just in the last three months, three tunnels. pete: you're finding them right now as hamas continues to dig under the gaza strip into the israeli population. i want to get a sense what it is like to fight in tunnel like this? in the infantry you're outside of different conflicts. you're underground. this is whole another level. >> psychological challenge to fight inside tunnels like this. pete: i'm cramming up, sore already, we've been here for two minutes. just imagine the difficulty of fighting in a tunnel like this. but idealogical dedication of, a radical islamist enemy willing to spend months and months and months and months and months underground, picking away at the soil, putting in steel, putting in lights, pumping in air, just so they can kill innocent civilians. >> they all civilian population is shield for military targets. this is a crime. this is one crime. the second time they shoot and want to kill a civilian population of israel. we conscious we do the best to save our life and their life. to achieve the military goals of the war. pete: ultimately when it comes down to it what is the way the israeli defense forces fight and radical islamic enemies you face? >> in the end we come in, protect our systemmians, protect our way of life. pete: we're in the town of steirot, stone's throw away from the gaza strip, protected by an iron dome battery. you have got civilian population. you have privately-owned farms, kibbutz's here. massive population controlled by a terror organization seeking to rain terror on this group. that is your job to make exact they don't do that. >> exactly. that is our challenge and why we're here. we are the only system that can protect them, okay? no other system can do what we do. our main mission to intercept rockets that are launched on daily basis towards israel. if it happens right now. it could happen in an hour. it could happen tomorrow. it happened just yesterday. pete: you were the person in charge of looking at the screen. >> yes. pete: and making the determination whether to shoot. how long does that take to make that decision? >> it takes something like a second or two seconds. pete: a second or two? what is the feelings that you have? >> i think first second i didn't believe that it is real. it was -- pete: this is not training this is to the practice. this is the protection of your people. >> yes. pete: at the very moment. what does it mean for you to look at a city like that, realize your responsibility is to protect them? >> imagine having the responsibility for lives of almost half a million people and if you don't react quickly enough in seconds, then, you might hear on the news a house was hit, army base was hit, a soldier killed, a mother, i don't know, lost her child. pete: bravery on display every single day in the state of the israel. important to remember why they're our allies, they are our friend. they share common values. ainsley: these tunnels are built underground. on israeli side small little holes. pete: hoe hope to pop up ambush innocent village and kill civilians. they have a things to monitor the ground but ultimately you have to stay vigilant. they destroyed three in last three months. steve: speaking of vigilant, the woman is last line of defense. they don't have a computer automatically shoots down incoming missile. there is something on the screen, 1000 one, 1000 two, do i push the button. pete: no snowflakeses allowed. am i shooting down a missile headed for civilian population. iron dome system we paid for it here in the america because the alliance between our two countries. honor to be always be there, reminder how sacred our relationship is with the state of israel. steve: pete. great to go there. pete: i look forward going again. thank you to the folks that took us there. are you looking for a new car?
