pete: because they are not held to accountability. of course if one ever our drones was shot down some colonel somewhere is held accountable to somebody else. pete: they have to save face. they would never admit this type of a situation they will use their propaganda to say what they want to say. we know the truth, they know the truth. this was coming. they are feeling the pressure right now. we can take steps to continue to say we're the big dogs in the neighborhood. ainsley: we sent out several warnings according to reports and used electronic jamming some say to bring it down. steve: we showed that device. pete: give them every chance. they continue to be provocative you shoot it down. steve: iran is in trouble now, the ambassador to the united nations was in new york yesterday. he said the united states is trying to starve our people and deplete our treasury. part of the sanctions. general jack keane said that's all part of the president's maximum pressure strategy, which is working. >> the leadership in iran is back on their heels literally for the first time that i have ever seen. and what we need to do is not overreact, be patient, because strategy we have in place is working. and we don't need to go up the ladder of escalation with the iranians in a way that they would love it take us there. we have to be careful about what we are doing. our strategy, our offensive strategy is working. and don't fall in to a provocation trap that they are setting for us. pete: yeah. the president hasn't fallen for that. steve: of course, iran has all their drones. we didn't shoot down. ainsley: that's what they're saying. we shot down our own. pete: they are always straight up. ainsley: yesterday on the hill there was a big grilling that dhs secretary kevin mcaleenan was there face the house oversight committee. all the democrats on that committee really just beat them down about what is happening down at our border. listen to a montage that we put together of the chairman, elijah cummings, along with some of the other democratic leaders, some of those progressives. >> i guess you feel like you are doing a great job, right? is that what you are saying? >> we are doing our level best in a very challenging. >> what does that mean? what does that mean when a child is sitting in their own feces. >> conditions in our custody. you want to codify those positions. >> you want to keep them longer. it's been very clear from this administration you want to keep kids longer. >> we want to keep families together through an immigration proceeding. >> by keeping kids longer. >> do you think that the policy of child separation could have contributed to a dehumanizing culture within wcbp that contributes and spills over into other areas of conduct. >> we deno have the a dehumanizing culture at cbp. this is an agency that will rescues 400,000 a year end errant actor with we do not believe there is a dehumanizing culture. steve: one of the things did he say, and this was a statistic i read this morning "the washington post" that caught my eye. he said that fewer than 1,000 children have been separated from 450,000 family units that have come into the country since october. so, 450,000 family groups since october, fewer than 1,000 separated. but it does not include the children who came with relatives, who are separated under longstanding policy to safeguard against human trafficking. pete: yeah. speaking of dehumanization. who has been dehumanized? it's been the ice agents and border patrol agents whose motives are being impugned every single day. 4,000 people rescueside a fact. we know that's what they done 00 border to save kids, to save women. to say save men who make this dangerous journey. it's all disingenuous. very rich for congress to be preaching to these guys after congress' total inability to get anything done. ainsley: you can't complain about an election and didn't go to the polls and vote. in this situation they are complaining about something, these ice directors or these homeland security directors have gone to congress time and time again and asked them for money. pete: exactly. ainsley: finely a week ago or month ago they did give them $4 billion. he did say yesterday that is working. we appreciate that money. that is helping us expedite. this buff he said time and time again i have asked y'all for money and y'all didn't give it. why are y'all complaining? steve: look, you have a problem with these laws that interest on the books. change the laws, you're congress. tom homan, former ice directors was on the channel last night, talking about how congress handled the crisis just about five years ago versus now. >> i put it right on the feet of congress. the secretary and border patrol has been telling them for months we are beyond capacity, we need help. give hhs money to we can get people into appropriate facility. congress sat on it. i didn't hear any of these people yelling back in fy 14, fy 15 we had the same exact situation on the border and they quickly gave money and that's when we built 3,000 family detention beds. that's when we built the so-called cages. i mean, it is night and day how they're reacting today compared to how they reacted back in '14 and '15. pete: when there was a crisis much smaller under the obama administration, congress did the appropriate thing and funded it to deal with it. but when it happens during president trump's ear remarks the resistance races uraises up and says you can't do that. steve: it has nothing to do with trump, nothing. pete: that's what they say every singer gel day. will. ainsley: robert perez is going to be on our show at 8:15 and we will ask him these questions and get his reaction. pete: this guy has been there on both sides of the coin. double standard every single day. steve: it's stark. we heard from the president yesterday about the rally the night before normal north carolina where at one point the crowd for over 10 seconds was chanting "send her back, send her back." referring to congresswoman omar. yesterday the president made it very clear that he said that he was not happy with that and tried to stop it. listen. >> i started speaking very quickly. it really was a loud -- i disagree with it by the way -- but it was quite a chant. and i felt a little bit badly about it. but i will say this. i did and i started speaking very quickly. but it started up rather fast, as you probably noticed. >> so you will tell your supporters never to -- >> -- i would say that i was not happy with it. i disagree with it. but, again, i didn't say that they did. but i disagree with it. >> but they were echoing what you just said in your first tweet they should go back. >> i think if you examine that you will not find it but i disagree with it. pete: in every argument and i have been on vacation this past week. steve: didn't miss anything. pete: every time i turn on the tv or read a newsletter about it trump made racist remarks yet he has never yet once invoked race he pointed out if you don't love the values of our country maybe you should go somewhere else. they make it about race. trump doesn't make it about race. ainsley: the rale was more than an hour. an hour and 30 minutes. he had a lot to say. if you watch a lot of networks. if you watch the media and listen to the democrats they picked out that one phrase that the crowd was chanting, criticizing. steve: the u.s. senator from the great state of florida marco rubio went on twitter posted this video on how certain members of the media and democrats are playing a very dangerous game with this outrage. >> the hypocrisy, the self-righteousness, outrages people, too. and on top of it, you have these four members who are americans no, one should question that they are fully as american as me or anybody else, but they are also political bullies. they go around attacking people, calling other democrats just like southern segregationists but when you hit them back it's because they are women of color. it's absurd. people are tired of this game. tough immediately respond. pick a side between these two. it's a game i'm not going to play. it's distracting us from the important things that this country needs to be focused on and i'm not playing this game anymore. pete: the minute you realize they are going to call you a racist whatever you do. it's liberating. call me whatever you want to call me. i love this country, i love the flag. i'm willing to defend it and they walk back into identity politics good for rubio to say hey, we are not playing that anymore. ainsley: anyone you talk to are sick of all of that they are sick of the politics. they want our lawmakers to focus on the issue. many people are saying these problems on the border would be solved. pete: oh, they would be in 15 minutes as the president has said. easy. but the resistance. steve: chuck schumer is taking 10 u.s. senators down to the border today. will he have a different opinion when he comes back? we will let you know on monday. pete: will we get some tears from crying chuck? we might. i don't know. ainsley: jillian is here she has headlines for us. happy friday. jillian: we do start with sad news here. a community is remembering an arkansas sheriff's deputy shot and killed in the line of duty. officers and friends holding a solemn procession for mike steven last night. the 20-year veteran shot did while responding to a welfare check. >> it's emotional. every time you see it. you know, because it can be one of your officers, within of your friends. could be you. it's the stark reality of what we do. he laid down his life for another and he paid the ultimate price. jillian: the suspect was shot and killed. steven was also a u.s. army veteran. he leaves behind a wife. he is the 25th officer shot and killed in the line of duty this year. two fdny heros who responded to the 9/11 terror attacks have died. richard driscoll now the 200th new york firefighter to die from illnesses linked to ground zero. recognized for bravery five times over 32-year career. he was 73. kevin noland was just 58. he leaves behind a wife and three children. news of their death comes as senators reach a deal to vote next week on a bill that would ensure the 9/11 compensation fund never runs out of money. president trump plans to nominate jean scalia the son of late supreme court justice antonin scalia new labor secretary. gene has led a life of respect. previous secretary resigned over controversy surrounding his handling of a 2008 plea deal for wealthy financier jeffrey epstein. big names honor new for lifetime achievement in the arts ♪ do you remember when it jillian: r and b group earth, wind and fire actress sally field, singer linda ron stat, sesame street and michael tilson thomas all named as this year's kennedy center honorees. the award show will take place in september. that song by earth, wind and fire has always had a special meaning for our family. i remember that from like growing up and my dad playing it all the time. ainsley: that's sweet. steve: do you remember?

accounts. it got completely stolen from him by the dnc and the clinton campaign. steve: as the president has said of course it was donald trump the businessman there, the system was rigged against him. >> yeah. you know, i'm always amazed. this is a guy that spent his entire career in real estate, doing business deals. steve: right. >> he has a remarkable knack for politics. and for hasn't capping politics which, of course, is why i wrote the book. it's astonishing. his -- he is more accurate than a lot of people that have been in politics their entire careers. steve: yeah. something delicious, i heard somebody describe it, that is going on with the bernie sanders campaign. that is he is out on the stump and he is talking about $15 federal minimum wage for everybody. and now let's take a look at "the washington post" headline. labor fight royals bernie sanders campaign as his campaign workers are demanding $15 hourly pay the candidate has proposed for everybody else. >> it is truly delicious. pour some syrup and powdered sugar on it, maybe a few raspberries. i don't want to mix it up with the vegetables. but it so delicious. socialism is great as long as you are paying with other people's money. the second you run out of other people's money and you have to start paying it's not so great. why people call him red line bernie. steve: take a look at the statement from the campaign manager to the "the washington post." bernie sanders is the most pro-worker, prolabor candidate running for president. bernie and i both strongly believe in the sanctity of the collective bargaining process and we will not deviate from our commitment to it. he mentions that because the employees are unionized on the bernie team. >> according to his philosophy the way he would treat businesses and individuals in america, he would say that they -- if they did what he is doing, he would say that they hate the workers. so, i kind of have a hard time taking their lectures and wagging their fixers at the rest of america. steve: tell us a little more about the book still winning why america went all in on donald trump and why we must do it again. >> if you look at donald trump doesn't always get to pick his opponents, although is he very good at highlighting the ones that he wants to highlight. but, you know, when you look at the array of democrats that are lined up right now, it's really, really hard to imagine how, free healthcare for illegal aliens, open borders, you know, ninth month abortions. this is what the democratic party is talking about. and you know, if these people would get out of washington and talk to regular people, i'm talking about the democrats. if they would talk to democratic voters, i don't think that sells in the democratic party let alone the broad mainstream of america. because of that you know, i think i do believe that donald trump is still winning. i think that as it stands right now, he is going to win again. steve: going to

culture, jihad and luke's family on his radio show and joins us now with more. the book is called culture jihad and had you will luke on your show. there was a word missing. >> sure did. >> they there are so many of us watching this show and there is always that guy that we wonder why is she keeping him around? he was kind of that guy. listen, i love him, is he a christian. i love that he is bold about his faith. wasn't a good match. and we will get into that a little bit. what did his brother say was happening. >> first of all, i never thought i would be talking about the bachelorette on national television but you never know, who knows. look, the brother says that abc intentionally edited out a lot of the key moments that made him look like a jerk that made him look like a pathological liar. you are absolutely right. this guy has just been really torn up on blogs and on social media. but they say that they believe that abc intentionally did this when he this found out that he was a truly devout evangelical christian. that they decided early on to make this guy the villain of the show. and everything they did, you know, again, made him that bad guy. ainsley: let's hear from his brother. you talked to him. >> that's right. ainsley: watch. this ridiculed and called a misogynist and all these things standing on a biblical christianity. so, again, back to the basis of this conversation, i do believe that they slandered luke based on his beliefs and his christianity. ainsley: okay. on the show he says he used to be a wild boy and no longer anymore. it's been years since he slept with a woman. and she said but are you calling me -- she says i'm a christian, too. she says i have slept with someone, i have asked for forgiveness, but are you condemning me? are you judging me. a lot of people felt he was being judgmental. people thought he was being manipulative but he was bullying the other guys because they showed the scenes she doesn't get to see what he is like with the other boys. can't have you both? he made the choice and is he looking for a certain type of woman. she has made a different choice and she is looking for a certain type of man. why do we have to vilify him for this? >> well, of the family says that early on that hannah, who is the young lady on the program, she made it clear that she was one of those individuals who wanted to save sex for marriage. so, the family believes that luke was actually led on here and that all of those video clips that indicated that she wanted to be that kind of a person were actually left out which made it look like he was a very judgmental person. at the end of the day, when you hear some of the things that she said when she dropped that bombshell about the wind mill and the extracurricular activities going on there, i think it's very clear that there was -- there were some shenanigans going on. ainsley, we have to understand something, this is abc television. i glit upcoming book hollywood is not friendly to evangelical christians. abc has a very ugly track record when it comes to evangelicals. the word here was psychopath. remember what joy behar said on "the view" about vice president mike pence and people who talk to jesus being crazy, being psychopaths. so i think there is probably more to this story. ainsley: okay. the brother did want to set the record straight on who his brother really is as a person. listen to this. >> i want people to know that if anything, i want to be more like luke. luke loves. he loves and he cares for people and he has a heart for jesus and he wants to share the biblical truth of jesus to people. i'm proud of luke. i am proud of the way he conducted himself. he stood for biblical christianity in opposition against this cultural christianity of i can be a christian and believe whatever i want to believe about god based on my own ideas and not what god's word says. ains eyewitness she tweeted this out she said luke, time and time again jesus loved and ate with sinners and laughed. time and time again he rebuked saints that judged. where do you fall, luke? what is your reaction, todd? >> i think at the end of the day, if you are going to call yourself a devout christian, then you need to follow christian teachings devoutly. and clearly, by her own acknowledgment admissions she has not done that i think that took luke by surprise. early on he was told she was that kind of a person. so i think he was going into whatever kind of relationship he wanted to have with a very distorted view. again, this goes back to what else did abc leave out? and this is a reality show. and as we all know reality sometimes is not the truth. one final thing here, ainsley. luke has been getting death threats. the family has been -- the entire family has been receiving horrible death threats and attacks on social media just outrageous. ainsley: the truth is, if they did edit it and took out some of the things that would have made him. they didn't put out the whole conversations. we don't really know wanted what. we don't really know who he is as a person. this is a reality show and she gets to make a choice. it would be terrible if he is truly a good person and they have ruined his reputation just because he is a christian. >> i suspect that's exactly what abc did. because this guy is a christian and they wanted ratings and that's low down and despicable. ainsley: say a prayer for everybody involved here. >> amen. ainsley: bless his heart. he is probably going through a hard time right now. thank you so much, todd. you can get his book because it comes out september 10th what's it called? >> "culture jihad." ainsley: thank you. something president trump said. cue the outrage. >> i think that policy comes from a place like white american nationalism. >> donald trump has embraced this rhetoric of racism and xenophobia. >> what they don't know is they are reacting to

is the comments that they're reacting to are from president obama in 2014. >> even as we are a nation of immigrants, we are also a nation of laws. undocumented workers broke our immigration laws. and i believe that they must be held accountable. that's why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80%. that's why we are going to keep focusing enforcement resources on actual threats to our security. steve: okay. so how did they react when they found out that it wasn't trump and it was obama. here with more is campus reform cabot phillips. good morning to you. >> thanks for having me on. steve: you red this statement and said this is from a president. they did the math and figured oh that's got to be donald trump, right? >> exactly what happened. predictably every students said this is white supremacist, rhetoric. horrible, evil. i talked to thousands of students i have seen the rhetoric grow. when you teach people to oppose things based simply on who is proposing them. basically on who is saying them in this case donald trump. people get left out to dry, they realize they hate things not the idea or the but because a president they don't like said it. watch what happened when i told the students that the white supremacist they hated was actually from their beloved president obama. >> i'm going to show you the person that said that quote. is that surprising? >> yeah. a little bit. >> why is that surprises? >> because i thought it was the trump administration. >> quite surprising. i thought it was from trump. >> they didn't expect it to be obama. >> do you think it's still a practice of white nationalism though to deport criminal illegal aliens. >> i think the way trump is doing it is. >> obama actually deported more people though. in practice it was more from obama though. >> what's your question? >> i mean it, just shows the hypocrisy in politics of one person can say something five years ago and next thing you know it doesn't apply to them anymore. >> wow. i think you could adistrict a mother teresa quote. many college students would say that's evil coming from a place of hatred. very sad to see how intent people are in-posing everything he does. shows how quick the left is radicalized on immigration. five years ago what every person could agree is reasonable deporting people who have broken the law again and committed a crime now it's considered racist. rhetoric of the left to the point you are either pro-illegal immigration or you are anti-immigrant. that's a false dichotomy and false decision that many college students have been given and leads to this kind of rhetoric on campus. steve: cabot, quick exit question. on the average campus, somewhere -- let's say on the east coast of the united states, what percentage of the students like donald trump and what percentage don't? >> well, it's incredibly hard to find out when people talk to me across the board they oppose him. i think a lot of that is because of the social pressure. they look around and see what happens in when people come out in support of him. they see the threats and violence that comes against them. i think there are a lot more students on college campuses that are willing to stand up or that do support president trump and what he is doing with the country but are afraid to stand up. and that's why it's so important for us to make sure the people are bold on campus, to empower young conservatives on campuses, let them know they are not alone and let them know it's okay to stand up and have a contrary opinion. those opinions should be welcomed on campus because that creates a ebb environment of debate. pete: president obama in 2014 could not get nominated in 2020. steve: based on his word. pete's pete's based on

a sneaker. every single person went home without getting their kicks. those are the ones they wanted. so the company behind chris pratt's white supremacist t-shirt calling accusations ridiculous. forge clothing defending their don't tread on me shirts writing on instagram as we fought for our country many of us wore the first navy jack flag on the sleeves of our uniforms adding, quote, we are not nike, we will not back down and recall our gadsden flag shirts. pratt has not commented on the accusations against his apparel. forge is also behind the workout the murph challenge named for lieu tenant michael p. murphy a navy seal killed in action in 2005. i heard you reacting to that. steve: that was quite a line "we are not nike." ainsley: he is such a good guy. people don't like him, liberals don't like him because is he in hollywood. he is talking about his faith. he married arnold schwarzenegger's daughter. they just don't like him. pete: he might be a trump supporter. or maybe is he a conservative or a patriot. i mean, forged what's it called forged clothing? it's owned by navy seals. put out a t-shirt of a proud american symbol. somehow that makes chris pratt -- have where have we gone? ainsley: turn off the tv and not get on social media for a while. steve: we will have a segment on that in a little bit. in the meantime, if you were here watching our program yesterday

>> well, when i saw it at first i was amazed at this piece of american history what's coming for sale given my emotions with liberation and the fact that we lost family members during the bombing raids and the liberation of europe. i knew i wanted to possess and it safeguard it for the future. steve: absolutely. there is even german bullet holes in this flag. when you see someone from another country, from another continent still today remembering the sacrifices of those men and what they did, how does it resonate with you. >> it's phenomenal. my parents were liberated by allied troops. they lived in the northern part of holland allies and the americans made to liberate them. we have an american cemetery in the netherlands. every memorial day, every grave is adopted by a dutch citizen. they are adorned with flowers, 4 or 5,000 people show up for the memorial day service. they love america they think we are great and appreciate everything we have done. >> burt, it's heart-warming for an american to do that that it's still remembered today. why did you feel like the flag needed to come back to america? >> well, it's a piece of cultural heritage from the united states. you know, it was at auction. everybody could have bought it. i bought it. and, you know, i did it for the right reasons. i feel that i'm temporary custodian of the flag. it doesn't long in the netherlands it belongs in the country where the heroes came from. the heroes came from the united states to free europe. it needs to be here. it needs to be in an institution to tell the story about the liberation and the sacrifices made for it because many young american soldiers gave their lives for the freedom of europe. so that's what i wanted to make sure that story behind that flag is told to generations to come. pete: mr. ambassador, do you feel like there are more folks than we know who are still appreciative today in europe of what was done? >> there is no question about that. because not only do they appreciate the efforts for liberation, they also benefited from the marshall plan, burt and my parents both were provided the opportunity, you know, my parents emigrated, started a small business, lived the american dream so absolutely the dutch and many other europeans have not forgotten the sacrifices that we made. pete: mr. ambassador, ambassador hoekstra and burt cray thank you for your time and love of freedom. we appreciate you both. >> thank you. pete: still ahead, rush limbaugh is your big show this friday edition. geraldo rivera and lara trump all coming up live. you know if it's friday it's the summer concert series ♪ and i love this life ♪ this is the couple who wanted to get away who used expedia to book the vacation rental which led to the discovery that sometimes a little down time can lift you right up. expedia. everything you need to go. most people think a button is just a button. ♪ that a speaker is just a speaker. ♪ or - that the journey can't be the destination. most people haven't driven a lincoln. discover the lincoln approach to craftsmanship at the lincoln summer invitation. right now, get 0% apr on all 2019 lincoln vehicles plus no payments for up to 90 days. only at your lincoln dealer. if you have moderate to severe forplaque psoriasis, every day can begin with flakes. it's a reminder of your struggles with psoriasis. but what if your psoriasis symptoms didn't follow you around?

[laughter] standing by. pete: of course we have barbecue famous dave's on fox square. i also get a rib on the way out before they are gone. ainsley: she is mopping like a little mop. pete: any time you are mopping a hunk of meat it's a good day. ainsley: that looks good. steve: sandals is bringing a different experience from their resorts to fox square. sandals has brought water boards. you can see right there. sandals resort guest cost take the plunge at water sports no extra charge. snorkeling, kayaking, water skiing and paddle boarding. ainsley: it's great. all inclusive. you take the kids. some kids, moms sometimes just like to relax on the beach. if you like a sport, you can go out there and do that do you know any man that likes to just sit there on the beach forever hours though? aren't you normally playing something? you can do it? steve: sounds pretty good. ainsley: my brother always bring a ton of games because he can't sit there the whole time. pete: if you want to do something, clearly sandals. ainsley: sandals is the place. steve: meanwhile talk about what's going on in the news the acting security -- rather, secretary of homeland security kevin mcaleenan was up on capitol hill, there he is in front of the house oversight committee. so many questions. >> they were screaming at him. steve: of what is going on on our southern border. he made it very clear crossings are down which is good news, but that is in part because of hot weather and also the crackdown by mexico, but he made it very clear it is a crisis. pete: yes. he talked about how it is a crisis but one that could be averted if only the people sitting in want from of him, the members of congress would fund the required facilities and other. steve: and change the law. pete: change the law so they can do their jobs and untie their hands. none of these kids and families. he has acknowledged they are overwhelmed. he got yelled at. ainsley: they each get a few minutes, five minutes, i think. so yesterday elijah cummings the chairman of this committee and rasheda tlaib, aoc and others progressives hammered him. watch this. >> i guess you feel like you are doing a great job, right? is that what you are saying? >> we are doing our level best in a -- >> what does that mean? what does that mean when a child is sitting in their own feces? >> the conditions in our custody. you want to codify those positions. >> you want to keep them longer. it's been very clear from those conditions you want to keep kids longer. >> we want to keep kids policy together through immigration proceeding. >> you want to keep them longer. >> do you think that the policy of child separation could have contributed to a dehumanizing culture within cbp that contributes and kind of spell spills over into other others of conduct? >> we do not have a dehumanizing culture at cbp. >> okay. >> this is an agency that rescues 4,000 people a year that is committed to the everybody they react with and don't believe there is a dehumanizing culture. steve: here is the thing. we had jeh johnson former will head of the homeland department he said that these laws that everybody has a problem with right now loopholes have been the law of the land for a very long time. the only way to fix it is for congress to work with the white house to do something. but he also admitted right now the rhetoric is so strong coming from the president and from congress, you know, i don't think is he confident anything will get done. but clearly it has to. ainsley: did he talk about some of the numbers. when the president said we are not going to separate families last fall, in october, he said that the numbers have really changed. for instance, since october the vast majority of families stayed together out of 450,000 families, fewer than 100,000 children are without their parents. only reason those are without their parents is because of healthy and safety concerns. he says. pete: they are not doing it arbitrarily. ainsley: not like thousands and thousands. pete: absolutely not. that's what you would think if you are listening to this so-called mainstream media. i would have to ask elijah cummings, do you feel like you are during a great job? because you haven't delivered on anything that the border patrol needs or comrade cortez when she says you are dehumanizing. when you say you need to abolish ice and you are dehumanizing the very people forced or who get up every day, put on uniform in a dangerous job and rescue kids and enforce our laws. if you don't like those laws, change them. but that's not what they want to talk about. they want to yell at a member of the trump administration. ainsley: just a few months ago said it was not a crisis. steve: aoc also asked mr. mcaleenan about some of the personnel in that department that have said some very inappropriate things about her, their status and he made it sound like they are in trouble right now. sounds like they are suspended. as they look into it. we are are going to have the cbp deputy commissioner robert perez on with us about an hour from right now. pete: good that the visits to the border have happening. i believe it's chuck schumer and a number of democrat senators. steve: today. pete: will be on the border. the frustrating part they never give benefit of the doubt to any folks down there. cortez talked about people drinking from the toilet when everybody knows that's a boldface lie of what was happening. if you are going to see it, be honest about what you sees a opposed to try to find a way to spin it. ainsley: are you saying there is fake news out there? pete: maybe. steve: i think it's politics. ainsley: the president always talks about that and these are some of the headlines that would lead to you believe a certain script or certain narrative of this story. i will read you some of these. chicago tribune immigration officers o'hare in chicago detained three children who are u.s. citizens. congresswoman calls it kidnapping of children by our government. steve: that sounds terrible. ainsley: chicag"chicago sun tim" three children released at o'hare after being detained by feds 12 hours. also sounds terrible. steve: it does. ainsley: abc news three kids detained after undocumented parents were too fearful to pick them up. steve: here is the actual story. apparently three children, who were born here in the united states, flew from mexico into chicago. and they were being accompanied by a woman who had a note that said i authorize this woman to travel with my kids. and customs said, you know what? you are admissible. we are not going to allow you to leave the facility. ainsley: we don't know why. maybe she didn't have a passport. pete: proper visa. steve: they called it admissible. but, nonetheless, they said you have got to have the parents show up. the parents didn't want to come. the mother didn't want to come because she thought it was a trap to deport her. because she had heard about, you know, the raids and things like that. so, she didn't do it until somebody -- some lawyers got involved. there was a u.s. congresswoman jan shakowski had landed at o'hare. she went over as well. it's all because they were traveling not with a parent but with somebody that had a note written by one of the parents, apparently. it's okay to travel with my kids. pete: turns out our officials have to go by more than a note on a piece of paper. this is what customs and border patrol said in a tweet to clarify. said there are false reports circulating that cbp is detaining three u.s. citizen children at o'hare. the children are alive -- arrived with a mexican citizen that was deemed admissible as steve said. by law, they recollected only -- by law. pete: i missed the emphasis. by law, they could only be released to a parent or legal guardian. their mother has picked them up without incident. ainsley: once again, congress, if you don't like that law, then you can change it. steve: jan schakowsky the congresswoman who got involved, she said i feel that it's kind of kidnapping of the children buyer our government and i am really fed up. they have created a situation they didn't have to be. i'm so resentful for this. pete: talk about loaded language. steve: it's the law. ainsley: what if someone took your child to another country, wouldn't you want authorities to call you and say hold on, what's going on? where are you? what's the real story? pete: kidnapping, kidnapping of children. protocol. that's the rhetoric we have got. steve: that's the story hifnsd the story. ainsley: all right. things are heating up because the election is right around the corner. pete: big corner. ainsley: the announcement has been made for the next democratic debate. so many candidates they have to decide it. so, on tuesday, not next tuesday, the following one, in 10 days, tuesday, july 30th, here's the list of who is going to perform or be on stage in that debate. steve: they will be performing being. ainsley: two big ones bernie sanders and aaron. pete buttigieg, beto o'rourke, amy klobuchar, hickenlooper, bullock, delayne, ryan and williamson. you have the two most hard leftist bernie sanders and elizabeth warren did not face off last time it will be very interesting. on night two, you have cory booker and hulaian castro and others but the top two are joe biden and kamala harris. remember what happened last time they got together. the way that apparently cnn decided how to stack these two decks, because there are so many candidates, they had to do it over two nights. any divided everybody into one of three tiers. and then they would pick a certain number out of each tier okay out of tier 1 the people in the double digits, okay. they are going to go here. they're going to go there and that is the lineup for those two. ainsley: bill de blasio is the second night on wednesday. pete: that will be interesting. because publicly, bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have been very kind to each other. we will see if they start to try to pick at each other at this debate. steve: i bet this next topic comes up at the debate because bernie sanders has made it very clear when he is campaigning he would like to see a federal minimum wage of $15 an hour. yet, the height of hypocrisy. it turns out that he is not paying $15 per hour to his field hires on his campaign. pete: what? steve: and they want $15 an hour. but his campaign says, look, they're unionized. there is a collective bargaining deal already on the table. pete: details. ainsley: they are using his own rhetoric against him now. here's a flashback of what he has said about minimum wage. >> the working class of this country is sick and tired of working longer hours for lower wages. >> we have got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. [cheers] >> we have got raise that minimum wage to $15 an hour. >> we should raise the minimum wage to a living wage, 15 bucks an hour. when i talked about it four years ago, people said i was a little bit nuts on that one, too. pete: this is amazing. steve: apparently somebody on the campaign actually heard him same wait a minute, we are not getting $15 an hour. ainsley: if you were going to say that you would think how much am i paying my people? campaign staffers fleeing, poverty wages. many are barely surviving financially. can't exsm us to build the loudest grassroots campaign in history it's not easy. steve: bernie says one thing out on the trump but does another kno-ho-co another thing. charlie hurt, has a new book out, says that irony is delicious. >> truly delicious. pour some syrup, some powdered sugar on it and maybe a few raspberries. socialism is great as long as you are playing with other people's money. the second you run out of other people's money and you have to start paying for it, it's not so great. according to his philosophy the way he would treat businesses and individuals in america, he would say that they -- if they did what i he is doing he would say they hate the workers. i have a hard time taking their lectures and wagging their fixers at the rest of america. pete: what did it take 15 or 20 minutes for him to change this policy? i don't know how you run a campaign on $15 and collective bargaining prevents you from giving your own people -- it's rich. steve: maybe he can't afford to pay them $15 an hour or he would have to let some people go. does that sound familiar? ainsley: that's what the small businesses are saying. pete: the bernie model doesn't work at $15 an hour. ainsley: or pass the cost onto the voter. steve: how would that work? pete: he will by raising your taxes if he wins. it all makes sense. ainsley: jillian has headlines for us. jillian: we begin with a fox news alert. iran saying the u.s. did not shoot down its drone in the strait of hormuz. comes hours after the president trump says the uss voxer took action within the drone came within 1,000 yards of the fuel ship. tensions afte iran shot down a u.s. drone last month: hotels now required to detail their food handling protocols and post emergency information very clearly in every guest room. an emergency center for tourists is also being set up at least 14 american tourists have died since last summer. meanwhile, look at this, former president bill clinton seen playing a round of golf on the island this week. wonder how he played. a man scales 14 floors down the outside of a high rise after a fire broke out. check out this video. police say a fire was reported in a garbage chute forcing an evacuation at the 19-story building in philadelphia. news helicopters catching the despratts escape on their cameras, at least two people and three officers were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion. he did make it off of that building safely, can i report, and now, this a final goodbye for an american hero. 3,000 people attending a vietnam veteran's funeral after intern invited them, drew mikhail working at a michigan funeral home learned that wayne wilson passed away with no family. so he put out a call on facebook inviting everyone and anyone to pay their respects. look how many people showed up. wilson was buried full military honors. he was 67. ainsley: he was young. i love stories like that. that's really cool. we love our vets. pete: love of country of the american people is amazing. steve: jillian, thank you very much. meanwhile, how to escape, 101. one college is turning instructions on how to run from the law into art. we're going to tell you about that ♪ guns out ♪ ♪all strength, no sweat... ♪no no no sweat... hilda, i like the new do. got some layers in there, huh?

we didn't lose any drones. here to weigh in is former u.s. army special ops and strategic advisor to white fox defense bretve. >> bret: velicovich. apparently we didn't shoot it down with a missile or anything we got some sort of a sonic device, right. >> exactly. first let me say that i am thrilled to hear we conducted some sort of military action against the iranians. it's about time we really have, for the most part, they haven't been held accountable for their action. that's really emboldened the iranians. it's made them look at us a bit weak because we simply haven't done much to stop them from a lot of their hostility and it's given them the opportunity to conduct even more aggressive actions. and what a lot of people don't realize is that the iranians have been flying drones nearly 24/7 along the straits of hormuz with the whole intent of looking for targets of opportunity to strike. and so they are using these explosive laden drones to strike oil tankers and they have shown the propensity to do that within the last few months. they have actually hit oil tankers in the past. the marines here had a system, it's great that they actually employed it in this case because they potentially saved lives here from an iranian drone that may have actually struck that ship. steve: sure. it does go to show you that things are tense in that part of the world. i mean, the people of iran are hungry because the sanctions have kicked in. the president's maximum pressure campaign is working. their economy is in free-fall and now, you know, yesterday they said we didn't lose a drone but then again they have also come out and said yeah, and we didn't attack those tankers, either. >> right. bottom line is iranian leadership are a bunch of liars. they are full of deceit and especially the foreign minister who has recently come out and basically said that there were no drones in the area at all. so i definitely trust the u.s. military in this case. but what is so interesting about this particular case here is that not even a single shot or missile was fired to take it down. there was a system on there known as basically light marine air defense integrated system which has a counter drone technology piece of that which basically has radar and cameras that are scanning the area basically creating a virtual bubble around these ships to determine if there is a friendly or hostile drone threats in the area. and it's simply used rf jamming to block that signal from my understanding to knock that drone out of the sky. those rut systems that a lot of these naval ships are having to use because you never know if the iranians are going to conduct a drone strike. steve: sure. and at the very least, you don't know if it's armed you, but it is an eye in the sky so that the iranians with review targets of opportunity. >> that's the biggest problem. it's one thing to have drones flying around the persian gulf conducting surveillance. it's very difficult to determine if these iranian drones are up there just conducting standard surveillance or if they are up there ready to conduct a strike. you don't have the opportunity to do that. you have to make split second decisions. we are talking about this drone only 1,000 yards away from this ship. they absolutely had to make a quick decision to take it down and we better be safe than sorry. steve: all right. bretvel voyeur kitchenbrett vels today. >> good to see. steve: ilhan omar proposing a solution the right to boycott israel. and compares israel to the soviet union and nazi germany. where is the outrage from the democratic leadership?

steve: well acting homeland security secretary kevin mcaleenan standing his ground in defense of border agents, as house democrats question if there is dehumanizing culture within cpb? customs, border protection deputy commissioner robert perez joins us from our nation's capitol. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: when asked whether or not there was dehumanizing culture there in cpb, what is your answer to that? >> well, thanks for having me, steve. i couldn't say it any better than the secretary did yesterday, but i will tell you what is the pervasive culture of customs and border protection an agency i've been a part of over 26 years. we are a culture of front line agents, officers, men and women, who have already affected 4,000 rescues, risking our own lives for the sake of rescuing people who find themselves in danger trying to more often than not illegally cross the border. we are a culture of looking out for every time that we have to protecting our communities, protecting our citizens, from gangs, gang members, drug traffickers. we are a culture filled with brothers, sisters, fathers, daughters, who make sure we conduct and carry ourselves with utmost professionalism, along with every bit of focus on the national security mission that we have. i'm absolutely proud of all of our front linemen and women, how they look to adhere to our core values and live up to those every day. steve: you can tell by questions number of democrats asked, they're clearly frustrated. the men and women of cpb must be frustrated to, you would like to have the laws changed to make it easier to do your job, right? >> well, absolutely, steve. look, it took better part of over a year for us to get universal i believe recognition that we are in a humanitarian and border security crisis on our border. i think everybody agrees to that. it took nearly two month to get congress to act on the supplemental request, provide four 1/2 billion dollars for the humanitarian piece of this crisis. now we need targeted changes to the legal framework to make sure that we're effectuating change to what criminal organizations are exploiting in moving this unprecedented number and demographic to our borders. we absolutely need to put integrity back into the system. we need congress to act. steve: congress and the white house have to come up with something. given the political nature of everything now i wouldn't hole my breath. we heard the president talk a lot about new border wall is being constructed at this very hour. what is the very latest official update on the construction or reconstruction of the border wall? >> well, we just hit a major milestone, steve. we now have built over the last 2 1/2 years, just over 51 miles of new, enduring capability along our southwest border, primarily in southern california, in the area of el paso. we're continuing to build all along south texas, along southern california. we will soon building in yuma arizona as well. steve, it is really important for viewers to understand, while we're dealing with the humanitarian crisis, nearly 40, 50% of our agents diverted to focus on humanitarian mission. this infrastructure, the wall, along with technology we're deploying along the border, now more than ever critically important to pursue and maintain that border security mission. we have people who are trying to evade capture, criminals, gangs members, drug traffickers, otherwise, that we have to absolutely are paying attention to, doing our very level best to make sure we apprehend those people, keep them out of the country. the wall is a critical part of that part of our mission. much. steve: before you go democrat from new jersey, cory booker, a senator introduced a bill to block i.c.e. and cpb officers from wearing the word police on their uniforms because as his bill says, when the word, when i.c.e. agents display the word police on their uniforms, they blur the line between local law enforcement and immigration agents and confuse immigrant communities. if the police come to your door, they can go into your house, but i.c.e. cannot. he would like to see i.c.e. not wearing slickers and uniforms that say police on it. what do you think about that? >> well, steve, look, i'm not familiar with the particulars of proproposed legislation but let me tell you this, police is a universal understood moniker that any and every law enforcement agency literally around the world utilizes. what it provides for, just like the uniform that i'm wearing right now, is an awareness. safety and security, awareness, not only for agents and officers outperforming their duties but the people in our community as well. so i would caution people before they make any changes in that, particularly before our safety and security. steve: robert perez, the cpb deputy commissioner. we thank you very much for giving us all the answers live from d.c. thank you, sir. >> thank you, steve. steve: coming up, lara trump is here. what does she think about the next debate lineup with the democrats. so stick around. first, here is phil vasser performings "six-pack summer". ♪ ♪ steve: the stage, or the stages are set for the next round of democratic debates over two nights. senator elizabeth warren and bernie sanders appearing on night one. ainsley: former vice president joe biden will come face-to-face with senator kamala harris on night two. will the gloves come off this time around? pete: here to react, daughter-in-law, senior advisor for president donald trump's 2020 campaign, lara trump. >> good morning, guys. pete: when you look back on the first two nights, what are you looking for the in the campaign? >> are we really back going to have more debates? steve: they're just getting started. >> i always said i don't think it matters who the nominee on the democrat side, because this president is so strong, the economy is so strong. he delivered on all the promises. he feel great going into the campaign 2020. i think joe biden will be looking out for kamala harris, that was contentious back and forth between the two of them. she shut him down there. we would like to see how bernie and elizabeth warren. ainsley: what is your team looking at? who is your eye on? >> we still don't think we have clear enough picture i feel like the candidate, really what they're offering. i'm looking forward to what everyone raises their hands for on stage, like free health care for illegal aliens we saw last time that every person on stage did. i think americans think that is a little bit much. it will be interesting to see what they come up with this time. we know they're going so far left, most of the policies are a little frightening. steve: on tuesday, we had your husband, eric trump on the program, told us you were in pennsylvania kicking off women for trump? >> we did. we had a big launch of women's coalition, women for trump. the purpose is to get women out there involved. so many women support this president. if you listen to the mainstream media narrative you would think that is not the case. we had over 1000 women in king of prussia, pennsylvania on tuesday. it was amazing. we want women to know, if you want to get involved, there are so many opportunities. you can sign up to volunteer, watch the polls, whatever it is, get out, tell your friend why you support this president. pete: what is it you hear from women about the president, so-called mainstream media wouldn't support? >> they love the fact he is a fighter. women want a fighter too. i always hear, what are the women's issues. women issues are american issues. we want a better economy. we want more jobs. under this president, almost six million new jobs created, 56% have gone to women. steve: what about when president squares off against the women of the squad? >> he is standing up for the country there. i think most women that i have talked to understand that these particular four ladies do not represent women as a whole in this country. they have very extreme ideas. they constantly dump on our country, call it garbage. they are fighting against the people trying to protect us at our southern border. i think they are proud of president doing that. ainsley: i'm going through instagram, seeing video of you playing piano at mar-a-lago, while the hairdresser is doing your hair. you play beautifully. what is going on?

>> much ado about nothing. look, i don't really have time here to, because i spent 20 minutes on this, on the radio yesterday. this really irritates me. there are two sets of rules. the democrats never deannounce antifa. antifa is blowing up cities. antifa attacking people. ditto black lives matter. ilhan omar hates israel. she is uttering anti-semitic statements. they come up with a resolution, never chant her name. this chant born of fun, washington, oh, ply god, oh, my god. it's nothing. we have this two sets of rules circumstances here. all this is designed to get conserve and republicans acting though they're guilty of racism, bigotry, sexism, homophobia, it is all made up. we, conservatives love people. we want the best for everybody. we want everybody to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities living in this country affords everybody and we want everybody to be able to are the opportunity to be the best they want to be, using ambition, desire, they have, all we ask, all we ask, that you love the country. you do your best to help people love the other country. there is no reason to hate this country. there is no better place on earth to be. no reason to despise this country. no reason to perfect it on a premise that is unjust or immoral. people are fed up i think, hearing how rotten their country is. they're fed up hearing the media give those people an additional platform to broadcast their hate and disgust with the country. what happened, a combination of people having fun, a president they love. a take-off on lock her up, hillary clinton. democrats never have to denounce any of their supporters. they are never made to explain it. it's a two-way street here. i wish people on our side would get so darn scared and afraid. you hear what he said? the media will kill us. so what? we're winning. no reason to act defensive, no reason to act guilty of these false things they accuse us of. the whole thing ticks me off. i'm using a lot of restraint here not to be profane. did you see what happened? after the president goes out and does what they said, disdisvow these horrible people. you didn't go far enough. you need to denounce the -- supporters in charlottesville. it is never enough. it is falling into a trap, giving them further ammo to accuse us of all these phony fake things they say we are, which we are not, bigots, racists, sexists, homophobes. seeking of sexists, where is all the female abuse problems taking place? democrat party, jeffrey epstein. harvey weinstein, everybody, kevin spacey, all liberal democrats abusing women. what do we have to defend. i'm tired of being on defensive, if this is too hot for tv in the morning i will dial it back. you asked it ticks me off here. ainsley: third time is not a charm. al green continues for the impeachment push and it failed. >> here we go again. ainsley: is what the president doing grounds for impeachment? >> no. they want to impeach him because nothing else they have tried to get rid of him is worked. the democrat party is bankrupt. they are devoid of any ideas that appeal to people. they cannot even join us in the arena of ideas to debate the great things and issues that we all face. instead all the democrat party and do with their leadership in the drive-by media, is try to destroy their political opponents. try to discredit them. try to marginalize them. they never join us in the debate. meanwhile, look what is happening with substantive things like the economy and employment, particularly for minorities. they got 95 votes and there wasn't even a reason to impeach. they were just impeaching to do it. i say let them continue. i hope they continue to illustrate how whacko, how morally bankrupt and substantively bankrupt they are. i hope omar keeps talking. i hope alexandria ocasio-cortez, i hope they keep talking. i hope, i hope that trump continues to succeed in making all of these people the face of the democrat party. that would be great. pete: rush, if i may, el rushbo, i appreciate the voice of clarity you have been. one of those moments recently the prompting of colin kaepernick, the betsy ross keeper, colin kaepernick the new ceo of nike they believe it is racist. you responded on this show with a t-shirt benefits tunnels to towers. you have an update because your massive audience responded. what have you got for us?
