going on and it reminds me of a quote from ronald reagan. freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. it must be fought and protected. >> i think this is such an important weekend for us to remember because we seem to be at a critical juncture right now in this country where there is one side of the country that is determined to hate america, to hate its institutions, and to hate its values. and we know what you do not love you do not defend. i think this is a great example for us to set to be able to not only remember the sacrifice that our veterans have made but also to remind everyone why that sacrifice is so important. >> we thank everyone who has fought valiantly for this country. we remember the souls who have passed and today we pray for your families. we think of your sacrifice and we reflect on it. thank you everyone for watching this a special edition of outnumbered. don't forget to dvr the show.

10:02 am
the president marking memorial day delivered remarks at arlington national cemetery to honor the fallen. let's get right to peter doocy live in the white house today. peter. >> president biden hosted gold star families for a private breakfast here at the white house before motor kidding across the potomac to arlington national cemetery he shared in the grief of those in atte attendance. >> it marks nine years since i lost my son bo. the losses are not the same for he didn't perish in the battlefield, he was a cancer victim from a consequence of being in the army and iraq for a year or next to a burn pit. the pain of his loss is with me every day as it is with you. still sharp. >> giff: stomach >> president biden is going to visit another merit military in normandy, france, for d-day ands previewing the way he will framt visit as a part of a larger battle for democracy.
10:03 am
and he says it continues today. >> every generation has to earn it defend it and battle between autocracy and democracy. between the greed of a few and the rights of money. it matters. our democracy is more than just a system of government. it is the very soul of america. >> president biden is now back here at the white house. we don't expect to see him on camera until tomorrow at the earliest. molly. >> molly: peter doocy and thank you for your reporting on this memorial day. appreciate it. >> our country. i say our country because it is our country. sends billions of dollars to maintain an apartheid government and support the ongoing ethnic cleansing of palestinians. it is disgraceful that the biden administration and my colleagues in congress continue to smear them for protesting the same lives matter faith and ethnicity. it is cowardly.
10:04 am
but we are not going to forget november, are we? >> giff: that squad member push protest both against president biden on his handling of the war in gaza. in a fox news contributor joining us here in the studio here on memorial day. thank you for being here and we see rashida tlaib there pushing for protest votes and michigan obviously one of the prizes every year but even perhaps more so with the way the polling is going there. >> it is all about michigan. as a member of congress from michigan, a democrat just absolutely going off after him for failing to say what israel is doing and gaza is and all this kind of stuff that is not representative of the larger democratic coalition. it is all about michigan. if you look at the
10:05 am
electoral college vote, how does donald trump win? first of all he has to win all the states he wanted 2020 which he can probably do. then he has to win arizona and georgia. he is looking pretty good in them. and then he has to win one, just one, of pennsylvania, michigan, or wisconsin. michigan looks like a real good possibility for him and if joe biden loses one of those, donald trump could win. that's why you see what a huge thing having representative to leave just go completely off on the president is for him. speak out it's interesting because there's a debate going on if not perhaps a flight amongst democrats. things like gaza are not resonating with democrat voters. james carville, the man who coined it's the economy, stupid, i'm just blasting things like gaza and student loan. here's a little bit of what he said. take a listen.
10:06 am
>> we keep wondering why these young people aren't coming home to the democrats. why they are not coming home to the democrats. because democratic messaging is full of blank. that's why. talk about cost of living and we will help deal with this and don't talk about beat and student load spirits because there's a saying in politics if you grab them by their pocketbooks the hearts and minds will follow. does he have a point there? >> absolutely pure he's reading the polls. they ask voters what do you think the most important issue is in the coming campaign. give them a list to choose from or don't. let them say something. gaza is always a way down at the bottom. we down at the bottom. and everybody is concerned about the economy. they are concerned about inflation. if you are trying to win democratic votes, they are more
10:07 am
concerned about abortion than they are republicans are. they are more concerned about health care than republicans are. if you are trying to win republican votes you talk about the border more, you talk about crime more. these are easy things but the one issue that is not a big winner politically is israel gaza because most americans support israel's right to defend itself in this conflict and the other one is student loans because so many americans think forgiving student loans is forgiving the people who have enough money to pay back the student loans and you are not rewarding the people who actually paid off their loans or they are in working-class jobs and didn't go to college at all. >> giff: you mentioned the polls. let's look at those states particularly that you mentioned. we can show you. you look at the swing states here. we put them up on screen. arizona, georgia, michigan as you mention, wisconsin,
10:08 am
pennsylvania. a real advantage. there it is. you can see 4, 4, 1. close and michigan. wisconsin essentially tied. pennsylvania. you consider the things that died in won arizona, georgia, and nevada. if trim can get those back where do you make of where it stands? >> if drunken win georgia and arizona and he looks very strong in nevada, but those three states are not enough alone to put him over the top and the electoral college if he wins the states he won in 2020 which i think he can do. you have to get to the northern states pennsylvania michigan wisconsin. wisconsin has always looked like the weakest possibility for trump. it's essentially tied but trump is not as strong there. pennsylvania and michigan are really it. in michigan what's interesting is we talked about the mid east
10:09 am
and israel gaza issues. i think what will be the big thing in that issue, in that campaign, is electric cars. trump is going to michigan and saying this biden administration is trying to destroy your way of making a living. by pushing the nation into electric cars which people don't want to drive. i think that will be a bigger issue in michigan and any international issue. >> giff: one last question. it's the unofficial start of summer. millions of americans including michiganders went out to buy barbecue supplies, filled up the gas tanks, drove somewhere, and they felt that inflation. does president biden have a problem with empathy toward people feeling the crunch versus the credit he is taking on the economy? >> part of the problem with the advice which is to focus on the cost of living and focus on what
10:10 am
a lot of republicans call the affordability crisis, part of the problem with it is bite and helped cause it and he doesn't have good ideas for dealing with it other than for the government to give more people more money. and the fact that the incredible trillions and trillions of dollars and spending that biden engaged in in his first couple of years actually contributed to inflation is something that biden really can't explain or defend and finally the bigger problem with inflation is that it is cumulative. what went up in '21 and '22 and '23 is still going up. it's not rising as fast as it used to but prices are still really high. >> giff: people are feeling it. you heard it here. watch michigan. have a happy and safe memorial day. thank you for being with us. molly. >> molly: at least 21 people now confirm data after a vicious outbreak of tornadoes ripped through the heartland over the
10:11 am
weekend. torrential rainfall, tennis ball sized hail pummeled that region. trees and power lines down. rvs flipped over and homes flattened. now, this nasty weather moving eastward. fox weather correspondent max gorden is live in valley view, texas. max with a look at what has been a tragic situation down there. >> absolutely. the gas station behind me is where dozens of motorists fought shelter as his ef2 tornado bore down on the community. when you look at the gas station, nobody died here but people did die here in valley view. seven fatalities. 100 injured and tragically some of those that were killed, two children. a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old. this tornado struck late at night on saturday. the tornado tore through an rv park, destroyed more than 200 homes and damaged around 120 others. greg abbott pledged his support for storm victims and spoke
10:12 am
about how in the immediate aftermath of the tornado every day texans came to each other's aid. >> i'm proud of america. and our state. for coming together at times like these and i urge everybody across our state, take a moment in time tonight to say a prayer for everybody who is in harm's way. they need your prayers. they need your support. and god willing, we will help them rebuild their lives as quickly as possible. >> between friday and sunday, there were 38 confirmed tornadoes that touched down across ten states. the death toll from these tornadoes has been climbing along with the seven dead in north texas, two people died after an ef3 tornado hit northeastern oklahoma. eight storm-related deaths were reported in arkansas and four people died in kentucky due to storms. sunday morning caused a delay of the indy 500 after lighting was detected in the area.
10:13 am
officials paused prerace activities and fans had to leave the grandstands and the snake that peered fans were allowed to return a few hours later in the race eventually got underway. power outages have been a big issue with the storms all across the country hundreds of thousands of customers have been without power. currently in kentucky 150,000 customers are still in the dark right now. this as sweltering temperatures hit the heartland and many people are without ac as they try to clean up after these tornadoes. molly. >> molly: a very difficult situation as the recovery gets underway. max gorden, thank you. >> giff: there are new signs hamas is stepping up the attacks against israel after it fired several rockets aimed at tel aviv. retired lieutenant general keith kellogg on how they should respond next but first a preview from trey yingst. he is live in tel aviv. >> new rocket fire into central israel yesterday just before the israelis bombed an area in gaza

10:17 am
>> giff: explosions over rafah as the idf targets hamas
10:18 am
terrorists. the strike comes after hamas launched rockets towards tel aviv for the first time in months. we have coverage with retired lieutenant general keith kellogg but first trey yingst live in tel aviv and it appears that the idf strike is under investigation. what can you tell us. >> that's exactly right. yesterday we saw long-range rockets fired from gaza toward central israel and just after that, horrific scenes emerging from gaza's southernmost city of rafah. the screams of palestinian civilians pierced the air of rafah. with nothing but buckets of water, bystanders try to extinguish the inferno. it is a hell on earth. we went to the house and we didn't find anyone. when we checked over the wall and found a girl and a young man who had been cut into pieces. the israeli military tells fox news that they launched air strikes in rafah and were targeting to senior hamas
10:19 am
militants. both killed in the strikes overnight. the idf acknowledged reports of civilian casualties and said they are reviewing the incident. sunday's bombardment comes after the international court of justice orders israel to halt the military operations in rafah. a move israel rejected siding more than 120 hostages still being held by hamas and continued rocket fire from the gaza strip. yesterday hamas targeted central israel with a barrage of long-range rockets. this morning the e.u.'s foreign policy chief joseph burrell called the situation a dilemma. >> what we have seen in the immediate hours is if they continue military action that was asked to stop. also hamas is launching rockets at israel. >> israel has launched a rare investigation into the strikes as the country's prime minister called this horrific event a tragic mistake.
10:20 am
>> giff: we will be following it. trey yingst live in tel aviv. thanks. >> molly: let's bring in retired lieutenant general keith kellogg. thank you for being here on memorial day. we appreciate it. try youngster brought us this remarkable heartbreaking video out of israel, out of gaza. the iron dome doing its job and this terrible video of civilians that are suffering there on the ground. the fires in the tents. i want to get your thoughts of the situation as we are watching it unfold. >> thank you for having me today. it is the messaging issue right now. the israelis are losing and they are trying to eliminate the hamas leadership and raw for right now. but this is reaching a point where they should have gone in earlier and got out. the united states should intervene in the sense they need to pick up and call the
10:21 am
government. call who is hosting hamas leadership and see the issue is a hostages. tell us where the hostages are or put the international red cross on the ground to verify that the hostages are still alive. we've had no proof of life. that they are still alive and the numbers that there are. but this will continue and i advised the israelis to finish this in her early because the world opinion as to ring them quite strongly. as is a complicated problem. i know they will try to finish the job. >> molly: the chief prosecutor recently sent out arrest warrants for benjamin netanyahu, for the defense minister as well as some hamas leaders. this is what he has said. he has said israel has every right to protect its population and to give the hostages back but nobody has a license to commit war crimes or crimes against humanity.
10:22 am
when israel seeks some clarification as to what he means, he made this argument that in essence to look at how britain handled things with the ira, with the time of the trouble so to say and drew a comparison here that israel could act similar to how britain did in that time period. what do you make of that suggestion? >> it's apples and oranges. it's two different things. and we've mentioned the chief prosecutor for the icc. you talk about margaret thatcher and how she handled it with the ira. it's not the same at all. hamas launched a terrorist organization went into israel ad attacked israel and killed over a thousand. as a frame of reference, the united states is 30 times larger than israel. that would be like hamas killing 30,000 americans. we would not tolerate that. you look at the icc and you don't understand the nature of war. nobody wants to get in a war but
10:23 am
when you can get into it, it can be nasty and there will be collateral damage to civilians. that's why the israelis needs to finish it up as soon as they can. by the way, the icc, one of the reasons we are not part of the icc. the united states isn't. we signed up initially and that's it it won't work. the senate did not ratify it and also we are not according to it. in 2002 we put in the service and protection act where we told the icc quite clearly if you take one of our american service members or diplomats the president has all means and can use all means necessary to retrieve that individual. we put the icc on notice when it comes to americans grade the israelis have not done that. >> molly: a great point you were making is this needs to go back to the hostages. right now, in recent days when you are talking about the messaging out of israel. they put forth a video reminding everyone, reminding the globe about these young women still being held well over 200 days and where are they? worried about their conditions good how are they doing? there is so much we don't know
10:24 am
and israel is still working to get their people back. that is something they say over and over again. bring them home. is it working? is the international community thinking about those young people? >> we can tell the qatari government, the ultimate family and they lean on us a little bit. we need to lean on them. we need to do and one thing we need to do is get hamas out of qatar and out pressure the red cross with hamas leadership to find out about the hostages and you are right about the women. my concern is i don't think the numbers will be there. originally we thought 100 then i went down to 50 and now we are at around 30. i don't know if any of them are still alive and that's the heartbreaking part of this. >> molly: before i let you go, this is memorial day and i have young kids, i try to impart love america and appreciation for the sacrifices our troops have made and people serving.
10:25 am
there's a headline from "the wall street journal." teach your to young america where she says children are instructed in 100 different ways through 100 different ways that it's a dark place. the history of pushing people around often and in immoral quest for wealth but also because we aren't very nice. ideology and idiocy imposed this shallowness and it began some decades ago but has speeded up and become more extreme in the past ten years. with that sort of sentiment out there, with people that don't appreciate this country, how do we impart a love for america and an appreciation for the people that serve to her children? >> we need to keep reminding them about sacrifices. today's a day of reflection and memory. the sacrifices. this is not like veterans day prayer this is memorial day when we remember those who have followed. and this is something we need to think about. think about the families that sacrifice so much for the nation appeared about the moms who never were able to say goodbye
10:26 am
to their sons or daughters and the fathers who went into a back room and wept silently or the fathers and mothers who had to raise children on their own because their spouses were gone or the young children who are holding photographs, faded photographs of those that have gone before them. their moms and dads, sons, brothers, sisters. we just need to remind them about that. sometimes it's hard to remember that. i remind everybody when you play the national anthem and you think of the last stanza of the national anthem and says okay say can you see is it still the land of the free in the home of the break. it's a question and you have to answer that hopefully appeared in the affirmative. and i think about today really hard and you think about that great poem for the fallen by lawrence pinion who wrote it over 100 years ago in the middle of the first world war when he said at the falling of the son, remember them. and you need to remember those that we lost and it's a hard thing to do sometimes. i know it comes to me pretty
10:27 am
hard because i've lost a lot of soldiers in combat but you have to remember the sacrifices they gave for the nation and we need to impart that to our young men women and those children growing up. >> molly: part of the challenge. remember the fallen. lieutenant general keith kellogg, thank you so much for those insights and for joining us today. we appreciate it. >> griff: president biden with a surprise visit to an expected witness in hunter biden's gun case. just a week before that trial is set to get underway and what the defense is fighting to keep the jury from hearing plus that's. >> i think a fair judge would dismiss this case just because of how little evidence and little real evidence has been introduced over the course of this entire trial. >> molly: closing arguments are set to get underway tomorrow when the first ever criminal prosecution of a former u.s. president. formal federal prosecutor will tell us what to expect from both sides when they make their case to the jury.

>> molly: former president donald trump heads back to court for closing arguments this week in new york city where he faces those 34 felony counts of falsifying business records for joining us now former federal prosecutor jonathan fahey. thank you for giving us a little bit of time on the cusp of this historic week that is about to get underway. closing arguments, they are tomorrow. it has been weeks now. what can we expect? which side as the biggest argument to make, which has the most to win or lose based on the closing arguments going forward. defense or prosecutors. >> it seems to me from what i've been hearing about this case it has been a total disaster for the prosecution and they need to tie this case together because what they are going to try to do is say this case does not hinge solely on michael cohen's credibility but there's all this corroboration to support michael cohen through documents and the fact that the payments
10:33 am
were made but the problem is that things that support michael cohen are not illegal. the idea that the crime which is alleged is that they indicated that these were legal expenses as opposed to other business expenses because there is nothing illegitimate about the payment to be made at all and the defense on the other hand was going to get on there and say everything that they have said depends on michael cohen's credibility and here are the reasons you should not believe michael cohen. he has an incentive for donald trump to be convicted here and he hates donald trump. he stole from donald trump. he illegally recorded donald trump. he has lied multiple times about the same case. he has lied on the stand during this very case. for one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life as a juror whether or not to convict somebody of a felony and potentially restrain their liberty, you are going to
10:34 am
rely on michael cohen you would not get surgery for michael cohen if he was a doctor and the defense is going to put it all on michael cohen and the government i think it has a very hard road on this but i still think they have a home-court advantage with this judge who has been quite favorable toward them and a jury that may be predisposed to hate donald trump and those are things that are very favorable and it's hard to know how it would factor into this case because objectively this case is utterly laughable as a criminal case. i've done this as a criminal prosecutor for 19 years and have never seen anything this bad in terms of the witnesses and the seriousness of the case. >> molly: you are not the only analyst that has made this argument in this case and all of us outside that jury room have been able to watch the news and listen to the analysts and listen to people that made the argument peered smart lawyers across the country that made the argument that enough has not been done to convince the jury that there was some other crime
10:35 am
that these falsified records were created to cover up something to do with election interference along those lines but the jury themselves, they are not supposed to be watching the news and the analysis and getting different ideas. they are stuck with what they hear in that courtroom and then they go behind closed doors. that is a different experience from what many of us here in america as we try to keep up with a trial where there is no cameras in the courtroom. what is it going to be like for those 12 jurors? >> good question because assuming they are following the judge's instruction and not hearing all the noise in the media around, they have just heard what's in the case and assuming they are taking the role seriously and they can put aside biases against donald trump, assuming they have them, they will look at what the evidence was and this evidence if you are a juror and by experience, jurors want to see something that is serious and a serious crime and they have this case where somebody indicated something in the bookkeeping that should have been marked as something else. this isn't a murder.
10:36 am
this isn't a crime. they call it fraud but no one lost money, no one was victimized. i can't see a jury really looking if they are able to put everything aside to look at this as serious and another flaw with the government's case or the prosecutor's case is they did not indicate what these expenses should have been marked as. they just said they should not have said they were legal expenses. what should they have been? they didn't present any evidence on that front and the expenses paid to a lawyer, this whole thing is confusing but also it's hard to see. a jury wants to look at something and say what went wrong here. who was harmed. they are trying to rectify an injustice and donald trump really looks like a victim and a bunch of shakedowns in this case as you look at this from the outside. it will be very interesting how they analyze it and if they ask questions, what they are. >> molly: i would be so interested to talk to the jurors afterward. my heart is pounding thinking
10:37 am
about the verdict. it will be a fascinating week. i want to shift gears and talk about something else. hunter biden also starting his trial. this is on june 3rd right around the corner. this is the federal gun case we are talking about. interesting developments there. what does it mean? there's an interesting effort on the part of his lawyers to talk about this word and what exactly it means. let's take a look at the first screenshot that helps explain in the hunter biden gun case. this application he marked no to being an addict but there's some information per court filings that biden's lawyers are suggesting he might deny having been an addict at the exact time of the gun purchase made because he had recently gotten out of rehab. your thoughts on that strategy as this trial gets underway? >> i think that will be a failed strategy. you don't get hunter biden. she's used is an addiction as an excuse to get out of every
10:38 am
responsibility in his life or spot virtually and now when it is harmful to them and not a benefit and not an excuse, this happens to be the time that he wasn't addicted to drugs and it's laughable because of all this evidence per you've cocaine residue found in the case where the gun was kept. this idea that he is a drug addict until the point he buys a gun and then when his girlfriend who was his brother-in-law's former wife throws the gun away, that happens to be the time when he put all the drug use and drug addiction behind him for a very short. lack of time. i think it is a tough needle to thad and still think this case might be a plea because i think this is incredibly embarrassing to not only hunter biden but the family and ultimately people need to look at this. joe biden has the ability to hop part in hunter biden. it might make sense for him to plead guilty and after the election joe biden can partner him which i think will happen
10:39 am
here because i don't know that this defense will be anything other than laughable if they are trying to say he's a drug addict other than when he has a gun and that's when he's not. i don't see that playing very well with the jury. i think it would be the only defense they have but i don't think it's very effective. >> molly: we will see if things get underway on june 3rd. john think of a thank you for joining us and giving us your time on this memorial day. we appreciate it. >> griff: memorial day ceremonies are taking place coast to coast as families of the fallen remember their loved ones in different ways. we have the stories of two were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice. that is next. everybody wants super straight, super white teeth. they want that hollywood white smile. new sensodyne clinical white

memorial day and even more importantly, how amazing it is that we can take our next generation out and teach them about the real meaning of memorial day. >> griff: and your story. travis and his best friend brandon were both killed and now buried side-by-side in arlington. president obama once calling them brothers forever. explain to our audience why their story is so special particularly today and as you try to teach youngsters to come. >> travis and brandon were roommates at the naval academy. travis went into the marine corps, brenda became a navy seal pier travis was killed and 2007 and brandon was so much therefore is as a family after his loss. unfortunately he lost his life three years later in 2010. as you said, they are buried side-by-side at arlington national cemetery and i think their story represents this generation of men and women who

have gone on to serve and sacrifice and it represents the brotherhood and sisterhood that is a part of the dna of our service members and i think their names represent this generation and for us it is about teaching our next generation what these brave men and women stood for. >> griff: inscribed on travis' gravestone if not me then who was his motto. i know you've talked a lot about that in the last 30 seconds or so that we have, what is your message to americans across the country today on memorial day? >> my message is take those five words and apply them to your life. my brother spoke those words before he left for his second and final deployment to iraq and i can only imagine a world where each of us took those five words and adopted them and i think today on memorial day there is no better day for us to live by that example. >> griff: ryan, the nation owes a grad of gratitude to you,
