>> the biden administration has the blood of rachel morin on their hands no. 8 and 10-year-old should have to visit their mom's grave site on motmother's day. >> ainsley: as we are learning now that her alleged killer was a got away in 2023. >> brian: plus, it's not me. it's actually you. that's what democrats are saying to joe biden as the party's down ballot candidates. >> lawrence: normally you say that before a breakup. >> brian: absolutely. >> steve: summer concert friday. alana springsteen is going to take the stage. >> lawrence: second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> brian: get dressed. >> lawrence: so former president donald trump plans to rally supporters in pennsylvania this weekend. >> brian: yup. his trip to the key swing state as we learn the trump campaign outraised the biden harris

campaign in the month of may. >> steve: lucas tomlinson is live outside the white house with more. >> good morning, steve and of course president biden has visited pennsylvania more than any other state outside of his own home state of delaware. many analysts think if the former president trump were able to win in pennsylvania, he might possibly win the election. of course, number of swing states. that's not why i'm here. i'm here to talk about the big campaign fundraising hall from the trump campaign. the new may numbers are out even though they're about to wrap up june. these new may numbers are out. the trump campaign camp.

timothy mellon give 50 million at the son of paul. grandson of andrew mellon, the banker and art collectorrer at the national gallery former treasury secretary. the donation of timothy mellon is notable, guys, because he is a reclusive bacteriological billionaire robert f. kennedy jr. that's one of the largest single donations ever $50 million you can see there to maga incorporated. now the bit coin proponents cameron and tyler winkle boss. they endorsed president trump and said they are sending a significant haul of bitcoin to the trump campaign. also have he meli melinda gate. donating to president biden. fighting other a listers.

just battle of the billionaires. >> brian: amazing what it will do to bank account. think about this two years ago when the whole lawfare started they said we will destroy this guy. this goes from joe biden saying we are going to make this guy unelectable. they never thought get the nomination hit him with lawsuits destroy him. runs through gets the nomination. hit him with lawsuits, three are delayed and one is in action. in the end you get your conviction. and might be able to call him convicted felon you also have to say he has more money than me in the bank. 116 million in the bank and he got 141 raised. now nothing is wrong with joe biden's fundraising still great. now trump has caught him. lawyer. >> lawrence: when you look at donald trump is he out there doing the pitches to the american public. >> brian: now that he is out of court. >> lawrence: now that he is out of court.

joe biden using the star power. bill clinton and obama to rally the money in. >> ainsley: coastal eleetsz must americans cannot relate to. it's interesting the democrats thought this was going to be the nail in the coffin nor donald trump. that conviction that actually motivated people to give money. he raised 56 million more in the month of may than joe biden. >> steve: as much money as donald trump is raising. there is an item that just dropped in axios that talks a little bit about how fundraising ability will be a key factor in his choice for running mate which explains a lot of stuff. because this week alone, we a couple of days ago we were talking about that billionaire sum mid that tim scott put together raising millions of dollars for his organization. and then last night in ohio, j.d. vance a fundraiser 5 million bucks. doug burgum goes out and raises

as much money as he possibly can as well. apparently according to axios, there is requesting to be a big consideration on who donald trump picks sounds as well rnc in milwaukee big fundraiser the third night of the convention. >> ainsley: guess who is going to host that? the vice presidential pick. the rnc is saying the pick will be announced before that third night. >> steve: that's right. so bring your checkbook. >> lawrence: it's interesting because all of the contenders all have their certain tribe of donors that can give money to donald trump. >> steve: like silicon valley with j.d. vance. >> lawrence: each of them have a different type of donor base that they have in their chest. >> ainsley: all these billionaires calling donald trump i like ken griffin, i am with tim scott, or doug burgum. his billionaire friends are

saying you should choose him. >> steve: or bill ackman who support wanted the other guy last time didn't like donald trump now is he all in on trump. >> ainsley: wasn't he at that summit that tim scott hosted in washington. >> steve: just a couple days ago. >> brian: few things going on. number one july 11th. we will find out the sentencing. and perfect world in the traditional campaign, when both candidates are not under house arrest or maybe in jail, they would be a lot of responsibility for the number two. what if the number one has to stay at mar-a-lago? what if he has weekend house arrest? a lot on july 11th. when it comes to joe biden. they have something that is poll tested and focus group driven, and they say they are going to keep saying do donald trump wore than ever. snapped on january 6th and will destroy the country. dictator. >> lawrence: that's the goal. >> brian: worse than ever. and rehighlighting how is he failed president. when you look at both presidencies on almost every poll. trumped is looked at more

favorable than biden. thieves are why these guys are getting their millions of dollars. number two, it looks as though action gross is reporting and polls reveal it. he is trailing. most of the candidate races. think about this in ohio, sherrod brown is up 5 to bernie moreno. biden is down 7. in pennsylvania, casey is up 6. roughly. i see him down lower. biden is down 2. in wisconsin, tammy baldwin is up #. biden suspect 2. some might see a flat footed tie. and montana. >> steve: that is the headline in politico. why democrats think joe biden problem is joe biden. piece talks about how the down ballot successes at the senate level row not helping to joe biden. tom swayze flipped a district,

third congressional district out on long island because he ran tougher on crime platform. he says that and he is a democrat. he says that joe biden has got to get tougher on various issues. but he has also got essentially promote young. >> brian: tom suozzi said that. >> steve: in the piece that we are talking about. >> ainsley: interesting the democrats running down ballots in individual states they may not want joe biden's endorsement. if you are a republican and running you are begging donald trump to come to your state and endorse you. >> brian: right. >> steve: so how many states and how many democrat senate races are they saying hey, joe biden, can you come and campaign for me? let's think about how many we can think of. >> brian: he can't campaign for himself.

>> ainsley: democratic strategist quoted in this article. democrats are enthusiastic about trying to win the city and trying to win the house. they are not enthusiastic about biden's re-election, period. it goes on to talk about how he has lost support among key voting blocks. black voters and young people. >> lawrence: this is what is going to hurt the other candidates as it gets closer to the election. i know the polling would suggest that okay, they are doing better than joe biden. but is he going to bring the entire ticket down because a lot of folks that go in to vote vote vote straight ticket, you have the risk of them say they are going for donald trump. they are probably not going to go and start checking off the boxes. i know this the state of texas, most people vote straight ticket. they do testify single time. straight democrat or straight republican. i think that is the concern now. they are not so much -- these candidates aren't -- the piece was written to really not just talk about joe biden but to say if they don't fix the joe biden

problem, he has to risk bringing all the other candidates down. >> ainsley: don't like joe biden i'm not going to go vote. >> brian: kamala harris to fall back on. >> lawrence: no kidding. working so great. >> brian: tom wase's message on the border. george santos doing such a good job. also part of it too, tom suozzi came in there as a reasonable moderate replacing george santos. a lunatic. >> steve: the down ballot thing has been impactful. down ballot candidates outran donald trump in 2020 and outran barack obama in their we election year. this is something we have seen before. we just haven't seen the numbers like they are. the cover of the "new york post" today. swing for the fences. and amongst other polls out there. right now, emerson has got a poll that shows that donald trump is beating joe biden in

six of the battleground states right now. >> brian: dead heat in minnesota. third state now in pray. he wants to flip north carolina. pouring a lot of money into it. virginia, new hampshire and now minnesota as many suspected border with iowa where he is winning big in a dead heat. you better safe some money joe biden. you will have to spread it out. >> lawrence: former president going to all these states, hosting all these rallies, arriving back into mar-a-lago at like midnight are going to bedminster and you don't have joe biden doing the same thing. if he wants to win, he is definitely not showing that he wants to by his travel. >> ainsley: one of the big earns for all americans is immigration. we are seeing that more, even democrats are concerned about this now with the open border policy and the crisis that joe biden has brought into our country and just this week here we are on a friday, we have talked about a 1-year-old girl raped in queens, in a park by allegedly by an illegal immigrant. >> steve: with the machete.

>> ainsley: 12-year-old little girl strangled allegedly by two immigrants from venezuela. that just broke last night. and we were telling you about it in morning. >> steve: in houston. >> ainsley: that happened in houston. and then you have rachel morin that mother of five that was beaten and left naked when she was just running, there's her picture. lawrence, you had a fabulous interview with her sister earlier. >> lawrence: thank you. >> ainsley: this is what she had to say. >> biden's first day in office was to remove every executive order that trump had put in place to secure our border. he stopped the building of the wall. i mean, as far as i'm concerned, the biden administration has the blood of rachel morin on their hands. if this story can help make a change. to change people's hearts to want to secure our border and keep our country safe, you know, i think she would be honored by that not out there anymore. we do have a name. there is going to be justice. so that's good. but it does reopen a lot of wounds. you know, my concern is, you

know, rachel's children. her five kids. i'm trying to be strong for them. and speak out for them. and give them the voice. and be there for them any way i can i would have to say probably the hardest thing throughout this whole time was going with rachel's two youngest children to rachel's grave site on mother's day. [sigh] that was heart -- that was heart breaking. >> lawrence: they can't even get a call from the president of the united states. no one from the administration has called them. you know. >> ainsley: trump called. >> lawrence: trump called. >> ainsley: she said he talked for 30 minutes with her family. >> lawrence: they found him to be compassionate. the democrats have become the party of delusion, i mean, what do d. they expect to happen when you just open up every aspect of the border and just let people run through? and then you call the former president crazy for saying they

were emptying their jails. and what do you know? venezuela, crime rate is going down. there is actual proof of people that have criminal record that have committed murders in -- in their country now coming to our country to do the same thing. >> brian: 1.8 million got-aways. this guy was a got away. got rejected a few times and finally says i'm going to be a quote away. 1.8 million have crossed since joe biden took over. >> a lot of it has to do with the executive orders he relinquished and title 42 which he fought to get rid of which was in place during the pandemic which is crazy. here is what patty morin said about president trump's call. i was deeply touched by trump's kindness and concern. he was genuine wanted to know how our family was coping. he asked about rachel and showed honest compassion for untimely death. his words brought comfort to me during this very difficult time. >> steve: you know, this is one of the reasons that this is such a big issue this particular presidential election cycle. but here's the thing. you watch the other thanels, ho.

how many go through. this. >> lawrence: they made fun of us for covering it. >> steve: how many americans have been murdered recently or, you know, a 13-year-old raped, please? how many other channels are covering it? it is a problem. but, unfortunately, it is not getting the attention that it should be. the only reason a lot of sanctuary cities are coming this at all is simply because, you know, act bused so many migrants into their towns and now people are going we don't have any money to but the books in the school. >> lawrence: ainsley, the reality of it is when abbott bused them he is not busing them to the anchor's community. they are putting in them boston and chicago and low income communities and so they are not seeing the damage. they are not talking with the people. >> brian: are seeing them in times square and i do see them on penn station. >> steve: it is on the local news. >> lawrence: they don't feel it in their community, because they don't feel it, they don't think it's a big issue. >> well, we are paying poor it. and the problem is you have

these illegals, many of them are criminals. and they are killing people who deserve to be here. who are here illegally. they are american citizens. where was that cape cod where you interviewed the mom who said rec center. >> lawrence: boston. >> ainsley: rec center where my boys come to play basketball while i'm working keeps them off the street and in trouble. now they are using that rec center to house illegal immigrants. where are my kids supposed to go. >> lawrence: don't complain about them joining gangs. this was the tool that i use and now you are just going to give it to illegals. >> brian: in queens a huge right putting 3,000 men. illegal immigrants into a facility. right in the middle of a neighborhood. are you kidding me. and their representative did nothing about it. so there was a crazy town hall issue. >> ainsley: staten island put them in that old school? >> brian: staten island won that award. >> ainsley: they closed down that shelter. >> steve: a lot going on. that's why we present it to you whenever it is news and it is

today. speaking of news, carley joins us with other news. >> carley: update on a story we have been following. a man wanted in connection with four murders across two states is behind bars this morning after being captured yesterday. arkansas state police found stacey lee drake in a wooded area. where he had been spotted while on the run for two days. authorities say drake carried out three murders in oklahoma. one in alabama. he was also wanted on felony warrants in multiple states for charges including robbery and carjacking. usc student ivan gallegos who fatally stabbed a homeless man he witnessed trying to break into cars on greek row will not face charges. l.a. d.a. george gascon declined to file charges we believe mr. gallegos' actions were driven by a genuine fear for his life and the lives of others. the lapd received a call on monday night after two of the students' friends reportedly witnessed the homeless man trying to break into multiple

[gasp] a love fern. >> no. it's sleeping. >> it's just a classic. the actor says he wanted to branch out into other genres

which caused him to take a scene back from the big screen. much needed break helped him get back on track. that's what he. did you didn't hear about him for a while and he did other stuff and now he is the coolest person ever. >> steve: all right, all right, all right. thank you. ains. >> carley: you are welcome. >> ainsley: alana springsteen called 20 something riding star in country music. >> brian: joins us on the couch. nervous, kick over my coffee. that never happens. >> y'all are my people. coffees on the table. i have been injecting caffeine in my veins all morning. >> brian: seem like somebody morning person. i'm not saying you could host a talk show in the morning you got the makeup are you ready today. >> i'm so ready this is my morning tv debut. i'm so excited. i have family, grandpa is watching back home, what's up? >> brian: gave you the guitar. >> that's right. when i was 7 years old my granddad came in from the garage and he doesn't play.

he just likes to collect things from like yard sales a as grandpas do. i fell in love with it from the second i saw it. i beg him to let me have it. he said if you promise to learn to play you can have it. i did and it was history. i caught the bug. >> lawrence: what does this mean to you now that your dream is coming true. you are on the morning show what does it mean to you. >> it is so special. something i have dreamt about since i was a i had can i started writing songs when i was 9 years old. my family is not in the industry. from 10 years old i want to be a country music artist. i had my mindset. i knew what i wanted to do. i was lucky enough to have family that poured into that. they took me to nashville for the first time when i was 10. we all moved there when i was 14. >> ainsley: your whole family. >> my parents and three younger brothers. >> ainsley: how were they able to do that? >> they have always kind of just been entrepreneurs themself. so they had flexible schedules. and they were just able to pick up and move.

we were home schooled growing un. so i'm so grateful that we had that flexibility. the past two years has been a wild ride releasing debut album going on tour with some of my heroes like luke bryan. it felt like milestone moment after milestone moment and this is another one of those today. >> steve: when you are a little kid and your last name is springsteen you have to go into the singing business even though you are not related to them. >> 100 percent. >> steve: are both your grand dads pastors? >> they are. and so growing up in church like singing. i was on stage singing with my dad when i was like 4 years old. so, it's just in the blood. i feel like so many people got their church with all that. >> steve: you also were doing the national anthem. you were traveling around the country doing the national anthem, right? and a record executive saw you and you wound up with a publishing deal when you were 14. >> just a god thing. like at that age i just wanted to get out and perform anywhere i could. whether it was local spots in town or anthems. and so one of the first things i

got to do was sing the national anthem wrigley field at 9 years old. actually at the time i don't know how iconic that was. my dad was from illinois. he was freaking out and everybody was freaking out for me. i loved the buzz of getting in front of a crowd like that. >> steve: captive audience. >> exactly. >> brian: 18 songs. wrote them all. you said they are from your life experience. the name of the al 3wu78 is 20 something. what is it is s. it like -- ainsley knows but we passed it a long time ago. what the is tumult of being 20-something. >> god, i'm sure you remember it's the highs and lows and everything in between. for me i feel like i really got to know myself writing this album. i have always seen writing a as my therapy. when i felt emotions that i didn't know how to deal with, i would write a song about it would come out that way. it's how i understand myself and understand the world around me. i really walked into writing this record a very different person than i walked out of it. i learned so much about myself. it's fun to do that with a community.

and write songs about really deep personal things that you feel like i feel alone in this and you realize i'm not alone in any of it. we all go through the same things. no matter if you are in 20's or 30's or 40's. we are all figuring life out all at once. >> steve: keep doing it. >> brian: i figured it out but for all you guys it's really going to help. >> steve: you have done a great job getting people interested. she is going to start performing 35 minutes from right now right outside. where luckily it is 77 degrees. >> ainsley: grandfathers pastors just poured god into your life. >> i did. my faith is the most important thing to me. i wear a cross around my they can. >> brian: finally you are the fashion guy here. how great is this outfit? >> you are not seeing the sneaks too? got to have the jordans. >> ainsley: love those. >> brian: alanna, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> brian: putting social media on notice. 13-year-old girls being exposed to explicit videos andsome how one state is stepping up to protect our children, next. ♪

take a look at the temperatures because it has been hot this week. there is no question this is the second official day of summer and we're breaking records in louisville, kentucky, philadelphia, newark, new jersey, also parts of pennsylvania. look at philadelphia, the last 98-plus day in june was a couple of years ago when we are potentially going to surpass that as we get into saturday. we have heat alerts for millions of folks across the same areas for the last five to six days. the good news is that heat broke for northern new england, you know, places that don't film have air conditioning this time of year. that's good news. but we are steel dealing with heat increase cease well into the 98, 99-degree mark. not only today but tomorrow. tomorrow is even worse. so just be prepared. we do have a cold front that's going to move through on sunday. so that will bring some relief. also looking at moisture moving into the southwest, courtesy of what was alberto and a couple cold fronts that could bring the potential for showers and thunderstorms for the northern plains. all right, that's your update here on fox square.

back inside. [cheers] january january what a great crowd. >> steve: thank you very much. >> ainsley: thanks, janice. >> brian: by the way they are a disciplined crowd. they didn't say a word. >> steve: it is warm out there. it's almost 80. >> brian: talk about discipline crime to bring discipline into the classroom and maybe for our kids. governor newman in california. i agree with you ban phones in the classroom. now governor hochul i agree with you when it comes to social media algorithm websites, excuse me social media sites like instagram and tiktok which is going to be banned shortly anyway. it's dime to keep them away from kids in new york. >> lawrence: you know what was interesting is that back when i was in school, myspace was the thing during that time you didn't have the apps. just make a phone call. but, when you were in school, the computers in the school blocked myspace from -- you couldn't access it in schools you had to wait to go home.

what they are doing right now is essentially getting back to what they had normally did. they just couldn't block people on cell phone. now have the legislation in placement. >> brian: if they get it in place. >> steve: yesterday the governor of new york signed the safe for kids act. essentially as you know, if you ever go on your phone, once you look at one thing, next thing you know you got a whole bunch of stuff that looks just like it. it's the algorithm that figures that out. ultimately to keep kids on the phone as long as possible. she has signed this legislation which is going to face some legal challenges. and, in fact, big tech is spending a million dollars in new york state to make sure that this never happens. because they say it's unconstitutional because it's a restriction on free speech. and, also, on information access, which are two potent arguments. the big question will the courts buy it. ainsley: it it says it requires social media companies to restrict addictive feeds on

their platforms for users under 18 years old. prevents nonkses on kid's phones between midnight and #:00 a.m. unless they have parental consent. here -- go ahead. >> lawrence: what is going to happen, to steve's point, i'm sorry, ainsley, is they are going to make them cell phone free zones. kind of like you are driving with a cell phone. you can't do it within a school zone. if they block and say hey, you can't just block the social media companies, they are just going to ban the entire phone. >> steve: she just said that. >> lawrence: exactly. >> brian: here is kathy hochul. >> it's important. we'll do it. we're doing it now. but did you ever think that this would become a necessity? when i'm talking to grade school guidance counselor, 40% of their kids are depressed in grade school? these kids aren't set up for success. how are they going to turn their lives around and be pull filled, healthy adults when they are in that place as children? the most care-free time of their

lives. >> brian: meta came out and wrote a statement okay. while we don't agree with every aspect of the bill we welcome new york to become the first state to pass the legislation recognizing the responsibility of the app. stores. according to research investment support app. stores to obtain parental approval. that will be interesting. so the app. stores would have to ask for parental approval. maybe it could be the visual thing yeah you open up your phone with your eyes. maybe it's a mom's facial recognition that could open up an app. store. >> lawrence: parents would have to give their biometrics. >> brian: which means they would. >> steve: all it means is if you are going to put the app. on the app. store and selling it either the google app. or android app. or the apple app. store, then, then, essentially apple or, you know, google would be responsible. they want, you know, it's pass the buck kind of thing. do you know why she is doing that? did you realize? i saw this in the "new york

post" today, her popularity is currently lower than joe biden's in new york state, which is awfully hard to do. so what is she doing? she is coming out and saying i'm going to protect your kids. >> ainsley: it's bipartisan. >> brian: i like it. >> ainsley: i like it, too. >> steve: she knows this is going to face a stiff headwinds in the court. >> ainsley: i can't believe i am saying this she is now more popular with me. i don't like her policies. but i like this one. >> steve: i don't know that it does that much. >> ainsley: if it helps my daughter when she gets a phone i'm for it. >> brian: hey guys not allowed to do it. look at dwi. talk to these kids probably 18 to 35. they don't think about drinking and driving. you start putting it into their head don't touch the social media sites until you are 14 and 156789 get the peer pressure that reinforces it. you explain to kids how they are being manipulated. i could see them getting some momentum behind it. >> steve: she is talking about go ahead brian. >> brian: coming up one nation 9:00 come right out of president trump's speech and have chris

sununu and governor mike huckabee break it down and hugh houthi bring it further. we are going to talk about some sensational and noteworthy things that happened in sports with kenny from jerry to the passing of willie mays to that great game last night and comedian tammy pescatelli. that's 9:00 on saturday night. >> steve: we will be watching, just over an hour faith majority conference kicks off and the former president is headlining it. why trump with evangelical voters. that's still ahead. ♪

>> lawrence: back with a fox news alert. another one to venezuelan migrants charged illegally in the country charged with kidnapping and murdering a 12-year-old houston girl. they were both caught by border

agents earlier this year. >> brian: shocker for venezuela. dhs sources telling fox weeks before jocelyn's death the two suspects were released into the u.s. with one of the migrants claiming he was afraid for his life if they sent him back to his home country now we know what he was ken, your reaction, horrific crime? this young lady, this young girl was strang do you go lated was strangled to death. >> that's correct. it's a horrible act. first of all, thank you for having houston police police officers union on to talk about this incredibly heart wrenching story thank you so much. >> what's been the reaction in houston. known to be quite progressive. wanted to be a sanctuary city before governor abbott said absolutely not. we will take away your state funding. it's illegal in the state. are they outraged in the city by this? >> yes. it's a total outrage and everyone in this city.

you have a 12-year-old girl who is kidnapped and killed near her house people crossed illegally. gut wrenching feel for not only the houston police officers also the citizens of houston. >> >> brian: have you this 26-year-old frankly jose ramos crossed illegally in el paso in may. >> that's correct. >> brian: caught by border patrol and released into the u.s. with notice to appear. 21-year-oldio hand martinez crossed illustrate legally in el paso. caught by border patrol and released into the u.s. with unknown status question is they lie to the border patrol refugees. they knew what to say. minors put on to make sure they came back on a hearing date. we don't know if those monitors were cut off. what failed here in your mind? where's the failure?

>> i think that there are so many variables in this equation. they entered the country illegally at that point they shouldn't are been allowed into the country. send them them back. the mechanism is the monitors. i'm not sure if they had those monitors on at the time of the arrest yesterday i think that is something that should be closely monday towards. ankle monitor on better way to actually monitor their movements until the next court appearance takes place. >> lawrence: how hard is it to police what is happening here? houston already has its own problems here other countries emptying their jails. a lot of these people wanted in their own country committing acts of murder or rape or whatever you want to call it. now you have to deal with them and still deal with the criminals that are already in the country in houston. >> that is so correct.

it is funny you should say that we have our own basically homegrown criminals that we have to deal with couple that with you coming from other countries entering illegally into our state and city and committing violent acts this is a glaring act being committed on the citizens of houston by people who have crossed this border illegally. >> brian: there is no state under more pressure than texas. and these -- this is the person we got this person we went and looked at their status, both of them. they were given notices to appear but they committed a horrendous murder first think about this 1.8 million got aways that joe biden has let across the border sense he took over three years ago. >> lawrence: so dumb. >> brian: let alone the people that actually crossed and don't belong here. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> lawrence: thanks, ken. >> thank you so much for having us. have a wonderful day. >> brian: former president trump

was able to run in 2020 and still today in 2024, on, i think still that kind of mantra of promises made, promises kept. no doubt the supreme court is remains kind of top of mind. i think for a lot of people faith across the country. but other issues. certainly the economy. immigration. a host of other issues. frankly that are major, major issues for people of faith that he delivered very, very well on. and right now we are struggling, obviously, under the biden administration, unfortunately. >> ainsley: yeah, when you look at the choice for candidates among evangelicals. 72% say they want trump. 26% say they want biden. what was the reaction from evangelicals when donald trump talked about abortion and said it needs to go back to the states? >> well, look, i mean, i think the reality is that the dobbs decision that came down and, you know, about a year ago now, i mean, the reality is that we have seen a lot of states take really incredible, frankly historic measures on that. so unfortunately we have seen a lot of blue states make -- move

in the wrong direction. we have seen 25 states that have made historic gains on protecting innocent life. we actually have several more that are moving that direction on the state level. so there is a lot of not only hope for the future but also celebration over a lot of the wins that have already happened over the last 12 or 14 months. frankly, i know, these are -- this is not just kind of an academic discussion. these are literal human lives being saved. >> ainsley: tell us more about your organization what is the faith and freedom coalition? i know you are meeting at the washington hilton tell us about your organization. >> i our organization exists pretty simple we just exist to give christians a voice in government. it's pretty straightforward. we believe that for far too long that biblical values have not been championed well enough either in the halls off congress or in state capitals across the country and so for about the last 15 years we have been organizing and growing.
