will enter into the country and they are starting to come out, they are whistleblowing and i'm glad they are you are good to see you, thank you very much, appreciate it. finally, last word on the shooting involving the texas, president biden 8:15 p.m. eastern time will make a statement to the country about the horrible shooting. more on that to come. we will see you tomorrow. ♪♪ kennedy: we've got a lot of breaking news, thank you so much for being with us so we can try to make sense of the unspeakable tragedy in the south texas town of uvalde. at least 14 children and one teacher that after mass shooting at an element tree school. hard to even say those words. thirteen kids, 70 hospitalized two days before the end of the school year. the suspect, 18-year-old who may have also killed his grandmother

before he made his way to school. he was killed in a shootout with law enforcement. details are still very hazy, a lot of outstanding questions in the investigation just beginning. gallagher is live with the details we have so far. >> as you say, these are always going to change because the situation is fluid but what we know is the texas governor greg abbott identified the shooter is 18-year-old salvador, a student in high school, he allegedly killed his grandmother, drove to the elementary school where he made his way on to campus and opened fire killing 14 students, one adult the school only has second, third and fourth graders so we are talking about mostly, seven, eight and nine -year-olds. police say it appears that he killed, they killed the shooter but these are changing and that has not been confirmed yet but two other victims were taken to a children's hospital in san antonio, that's important because that's a level one trauma center so that is a good

thing and another several students and adults were taken to local hospitals in less severe condition. san antonio, 85 miles away. other children taken to local hospitals, authorities say the school district has four resource officers but it's unclear if any one of them were on the elementary school campus at the time. the district also says the schools all have fencing to keep people out but as you can see the pictures there, police officers standing around the fencing, it only appears to be maybe four or five, 6 feet tall and it doesn't appear to be a primary gate for students and others to be checked as they go in-and-out. if you look at the administration building, there appears to be wide openings on both sides but we do not know exactly how the shooter got on campus. we do know he did get on campus. the shooting is similar to the worst primary school shooting in u.s. history, connecticut where

adam lanza shot and killed his mother and stole her gun, went to sandy hook where his mom happened to work. he tried to use her id to act gain access to the school but ultimately shot out the front window. he went inside, opened fire, killing 20, six and 7-year-old along with six adults. second debbie's shooting was parked in texas when it was crews walked in and shot 17 people. that school did have resource officers but they were heavily criticized for not going into the school, not confronting the shooter. i just want to know you talk about the school resource set up at the elementary school, for officers and there were officers on scene within seconds after the report of the shooting but it's a small town, 15000. they don't have the resources to handle this type of a scenario

so it was all hands on deck situation but the hands were from as far as way as san antonio and other surrounding cities so police officers who could got there as quickly as possible but you see the truck up top, san antonio resources got on there, it took a bit longer. the last day of school would have been thursday. two days more of school. kennedy: i cannot wrap my head around this as a parent and it's very difficult to come to terms with this, 39th school shooting between kindergarten and university this year. there were some reports, bill melugin touched on this and we will talk to him leader in the show, daily mail reported the shooter was pursued by border patrol and there was a shootout before he barricaded himself in the school. have you heard any of that and has that been discounted by the governor or law enforcement?

>> not yet and we have heard about that but like the rest of this information, nothing really has been affirmed, we've heard that story, a couple of other investigations they are looking into. they are doing a deep dive into the shooters, or the shooter greg abbott says into his history, social media footprint is the first thing the investigators and officers and politicians will look at. we pulled up a number of social media profiles that fit the name, age, location of the shooter but we have to be careful in all of this so you can't air any of the information until you have full confirmation but in a lot of the social media stuff, there is information in their that leads you to believe it's very potentially possible this shooter was notifying people that he was in deep current trouble, concerned he had violent intentions, there

were guns, all types of things on these social media, this will be looked at very thoroughly to find out if in fact there were signals which we see in all of these cases, the parking shooter, so many times he should have been taken out of the school situations where he was violent yet he kept being put back by authorities because that was kind of the policy, he just didn't have a mechanism to get him out of the school system so he was put in several different schools but the bottom line is he remain a severe threat and was never taken out of the school system altogether. kennedy: and we have to as a culture and society have better mechanisms for recognizing them and if there's a clear mental illness, kids need treated for that and that was the one of the things of the pandemic, he didn't have principles,

administrators, school counselors and teachers with eyeballs on kids like this and god only knows what pestered with people already unwell before the pandemic, so many kids need help and if they are too far past that, they need to be flagged in every possible way by family members and everyone else because this cannot keep happening. one of the first things i thought about watching these parents in english, have they been reunited with their kids? >> i think a lot of them have but as we saw sound earlier there was a father, heart wrenching to seek this where the father is just walking around, wondering where is my daughter? can you imagine the agony this father and family has to be going through knowing, it's a crime scene knowing there are bodies of 14, seven, eight and

9-year-old children inside the school because it cannot be moved because it's still an active crime scene and you don't know where your child is in these are probably kids too young to have cell phones. maybe some do but most of them don't and you hear these school shootings going back to parking where families, the first thing they do is you call your student and they would have relief because students would answer back. in this scenario, very unlikely these young people would have cell phones with them in class so it's a tough scenario and it changed so much from columbine to today, you go back 25 years to combine and how they process shooting scenes. you talk about guns but they use guns and bombs and they say it didn't have the guns, they might have killed a lot more because the bombs were in areas the students were so vulnerable so you look at what's been done 25 years and we have protocols and

we have changed school resource situations but in parkland, marjory stoneman douglas high school the sheriff's should were criticized heavily for not going in. kennedy: and rightly so, the parents have every right to criticize them because these were sworn officers issued weapons to keep people safe. there are going to be a lot of conversations among parents, how can i keep my child out of danger? to know that the last thought is going for your child head is utter fear, i don't know how you live with that grief the rest of your life. we say thoughts and prayers are with them, i don't know how to express that enough because i can't make sense of this but we are going to continue to ask questions to try to get to the bottom of this because this cannot keep happening. even great, thank you. >> thank you. kennedy: obviously a lot of outstanding issues and we may

not get all the answers even in the next day so what do we do now and how can we identify and stop this evil? let's discuss with tonight's panel, host of the guide doesn't show on fox news radio, he's been talking about this, it guy funded. fox news contributor and host of the richard fowler show, richard fowler is here. delivery activist, she's with the foundation for economic education, olivia rondeau is back. guy, hard to make heads or tails and i don't want to turn this into a gun debate because i think it's this respectful to the people going through this right now trying to make sense of it in their own family context but i want to recognize, there is evil on earth and how can we combat evil? should. >> evil is the right word and i don't have a good answer.

you think back days ago, we had an evil gunman in buffalo new york who hated people because of the color of their skin, he went to go kill them and he did, ten of them. that was evil, another 18-year-old by the way. a few days later, 14 little kids dead and a teacher. i can't fathom something more evil than going into a classroom of seven and eight and 9-year-old totally defenseless and slaughtering them i'm with you, our job is to talk, offer words and insight and thoughts and sometimes it feels impossible and this is one of those times. kennedy: richard, how can we tackle this without going into our opposite corners and having

a political gun debate? we have to acknowledge there is something going on here that's more than just guns, a lot of people have guns and a lot of people have guns in texas. this guy has found one of the few places where the majority of people there were absolutely defenseless so what are your thoughts as you hear this? >> since buffalo, the last time we have these segments talking about gun segments, 13 mass shootings, 13 mass shootings, almost 36 americans have lost their lives. no other country in the world where this is happening. we have to ask ourselves as a society, and what time are we going to say we got to do something different? we are going to make sure mental health resources they need, at what time are we going to say enough is enough? this evil is unspeakable and even beyond that, we are talking about children and i am the on

words. i can't even imagine how these 14 families are coping right now. i can't even imagine how the children in the school are coping. schools should be welcoming driving places for young people to learn. i'm sure in the cost they were learning how to do cursive or how to learn their two times or three times table and now it's a crime scene and that's where my mind is so my heart goes out to them. kennedy: i share that with you. >> make sure it doesn't happen. kennedy: i share that with you, these kids, this experience they are going through and think about all the kids across the country hearing about this and the parents sitting kids down, i know when i got off the air and i go home, this is what my daughters and i are going to talk about. how can they protect themselves? i want them to know there are

ways of consuming and covering yourself so you can put yourself out of harm's way enough but we are not doing enough and we have to go a few steps back, is not just a post that went up yesterday or today, it happened five years ago, when did this kid hurt or kill an animal, what red flags were ignored by school administration and parents and pediatricians? final thoughts? >> absolutely. too often are these people committing mass shootings already on the counselors list, already expelled or on the fbi watchlist in many cases. the fact is, we are often aware of these people, aware of tendencies and traumas and mental health issues but we are

not acting and we are not securing the school, i have a brother was a freshman in high school so i'm speaking from a place protecting children and my family, keeping students and children safe and i will say while the majority of mass shootings are gang-related usually in urban areas such as chicago, i will say why the school shootings typically have it in urban areas? is more suburban or rural areas, smaller towns without the spike in violent crimes major cities do so these major cities have a lot more security outside of the schools, a lot of them have metal detectors, armed security, caps on schools and is not something we see in smaller towns and suburban neighborhoods so while we should be focusing on mental health and that is very clear, we have to protect our children. we put armed guards in malls and banks and government. kennedy: if i were a teacher should, i would volunteer for firearms course so i could be certified to protect kids.

in my estimation, you cannot force teachers to carry weapons to protect students but the ones willing to go through gun safety, i feel much better as a parent. we will have more in just a little bit, the panel is going to stick around, we will talk to bill melugin, plus the polls have begun to close, it's still primary night across the country. we want to break down some of the most highly watched races, that's next. stay with us. she should

breaking news, you may have heard 14 elementary school kids are dead after school shooting and south texas town of uvalde, the suspect also killed. we will have a live report in moments. the polls in georgia have just closed and the most hotly contacted racist, any minute should get results pouring in. the panel is back. guy hunter, olivia rondeau, an interesting race for governor. brian kemp who has been labeled a look enemy number one of the former president, former president trump endorsed david perdue and got him to run, is

president trump still the kingmaker or if brian kemp wins, does it damage his brand? >> trump has had a few prominent successes in his endorsement so far, this is expected to be his first big failure and probably one is going to sting for him and he basically recruited david purdue, failed in the senate race last year in the runoff to balance online campaign, he went all in for you will, money and everything is relatively close at first, kemp seems to pull away and come but in recent days and is a good chance he wins outright without a runoff at all. an achievement for kemp a blow to trump and would set up a rematch 2018 contest between kemp and stacey abrams who never conceded that race, she's on defense right now about saying what is the worst place in the

country to live. she has a lot of explaining to do about voter suppression lies she read so if things go the way they are expected in the statewide races in georgia vessel to the river, this will be bond burners in the next few months. kennedy: we are running short on time. herschel walker is expected to win tonight for the senate primary, he will face rafael warnock in the fall. does he have a shot at flipping the senate seat back to read? richard fowler. listen, i think it's going to be an interesting race, i think is a good chance of winning them in the tide over other democrats. recently released an ad in the state where he laid out his case say i'm a pastor, i'm a dad i'm a senator but not a magician, i've only been in the senate the year, there's a lot more work i

want to get done you should reelect me, is a good message for him and with him and stacey abrams at the top, they will galvanize the suburbs as well as african-american voters, any chance they have giving georgia blue in the upcoming midterm election. kennedy: ten seconds, olivia, did stay be lazy abrams stepped on it? >> i get what she meant, i read the whole statement so not going off to second soundbite but it was the wrong thing to say. plenty of people moved there because it was good that. i think it rubs voters the wrong way saying it was the worst place to live. kennedy: we have a long time between now and november but most likely get that even though it will be. guy, richard, olivia, thank you for being here and your insight sensitivity on a difficult light. thank you all. >> think you.

more news out of south texas, they have increased the number of victims, sadly. we know of 18 children and three adults all reportedly dead in mass shooting at an elementary school. that's more than the dozen reportedly hospitalized in addition to that. fox news national correspondent, he's been there all day. bill melugin joins us live with a report from texas. >> the heartbreak is spreading throughout this texas city with new numbers as you said, 18 children confirmed dead, three adults as well. latest numbers from texas dps, i got off the phone with the mayor, he told me he found out

two of his staffers were notified they lost to loved ones in the shooting. we sold a short time ago with a father of a 10-year-old girl here at the elementary school, she is missing, he's lost contact with her, he does not know where she is, he's desperate to find her, he provided her photo to the texas rangers in an effort to find her but that is the story a lot of families are going through tonight waiting to find out whether blood ones are. unfortunately and of the civic center is a room full of parents and loved ones waiting to find out the horrific news. for the gunman, 18-year-old local, he is dead, shot and killed by responding police officers here at the scene. one more piece of information, we've learned according to sources a border patrol agent was also struck by gunfire while responding to the mass shooting, when a call like that goes out, all law enforcement response and border patrol agent was struck and injured by gunfire though is unclear how serious his injuries but unfortunately the latest update, a somber one, 18

children died, at least two other adult dead one was a teacher. kennedy: we have numbers how many children were transported or victims, it would have been adults as well transferred to the university health in san antonio. >> i do not have updated numbers on that, the last i saw was the local hospital here, they were treating several children in the emergency room and one hospital in senatorial treating two children and one adult. those numbers could have gone up since the last update i have because that's the last info i have. kennedy: how many reuniting with their parents, have already been reunited and who is still waiting for their kids? >> we are not sure how many have been reunited, over the civic center they have a room set up where we saw doors open a little bit and it appears to be hands and loved ones waiting for updates and news on their loved

ones. we haven't seen little schoolchildren in that area yet so i can't confirm or deny if there are communications are happening, i'm sure they are someone just not within the views of our cameras. kennedy: one of the parents saying you spoken to outside of the civic center? >> the father we talked to, his 10-year-old girl was missing and he's terrified, heartbroken and doesn't know if she's alive or dead in texas rangers are looking for her and that's why he provided her photo but that's the same story a lot of parents are going through, you get a call and they find out and lost contact with the child and it's a waiting game, they are trying to figure out if their little boy or girl is alive. they have to essentially wait to get a phone call that any change their life forever. kennedy: it is just awful and i hope and pray that the kids are

still in surgery, still in the hospital, the old adults as well, i hope they all make it. these numbers, i would say they are unthinkable but they are not happening. think about all the parents who send their kids to school today. they are thinking about two days from now, thursday, last day of school, loading up the van, going on a family trip, summer is about to begin, we are just getting over the stigma of the pandemic, so much to look forward to getting back to normal and then this. do you know when the next press conference will be? >> should be any moment, 30 minutes ago the mayor told me they would have oppressor at the fair? here, 30 minutes ago so any minute it should be happening, we have a crew over there so as soon as that takes place weeks will have a good for our viewers.

we are back, it's been a horrible day, 18 kids and three adults reportedly killed in a texas school shooting. more on that coming up in a bit. the other thing gnawing at

people, the economy and now the threat of recession. according to a new poll, 56% of americans say their financial situation is getting worse. 20% say their finances are improving, that's an all-time low. i still want to party with those people due to inflation and recession fears. many economists say it's going to get worse. will the government do anything to help, what can they do? nancy pelosi still out of touch and old, she says americans are doing just fine. watch. >> a comfort level with their economic situation. inflation is a global phenomenon right now. in the uk it's around 10% so it doesn't make it any better for us. kennedy: what is she talking about? how bad could it get for majority of americans are living paycheck to paycheck being hurt

by high gas prices and inflation across the board? joining me now, cofounder and fox news contributor, jonas max ferris. here you have people tightening belts, canceling trips, trying to save money and what is the effect it has on the economy already overdone? >> it has the quality where you are like buckling down as if it's about our economy but it's really not on paper yet so it is a strange feel, as much as it has been the last few months and a few years ago but you see prices going up fast, it's obvious, it makes you feel poor so even if you have a 6% raise, 10% increase in the things you buy, that's negative 4%. now people are getting hit in what i call normal portfolios, stocks and bonds in your 4o1k, most stocks and bonds, down a minimum 10% and often 20%.

honestly people taking more risk for crypto work start of stocks or hot stocks, they are down 50 to 70% like 2000 so the direction it's going, and normally stocks are going down, things are getting cheaper because in recession in covid article gas was like to door is shut down, stocks down, prices were down but prices are high and stocks are down is a strange situation. kennedy: it doesn't feel good for policies and americans are fine, they are great it's wonderful and it's like no lady, i don't care recession for inflation, is hitting me close to home, i can do normal things, i can't see my family. i'm shopping for food at dollar tree that charges a dollar 25 now.

if politicians make it worse and they compound it when they don't take responsibility because their way of saying we're going to scapegoat this and everybody else can we are not going to have any accountability which means no solution. >> there are businesses who will not make it through, dollar store, dollar pier just. the problem is, they hope it goes away and no politician wants to take on the inflation trouble they basically cause because it requires taking money away from people and they don't want to do that, they don't want to take away but we are still in covid stimulus mode, student loans, doctors making several hundred thousand and not paying student loan payments, the money is spent into an economy that isn't supplying much so what's going on his policies have led to going up and supply going down which is an inflationary situation and didn't want to fix it because it means taking away,

they'd rather blame it on something else, kick the can to the federal reserve and that means the federal reserve has to raise rates higher than they normally would have to risks stock market and warehouse. houses are inflating because one of the stimulus things was they brought mortgage rates down artificially during the crash to support that market too much, prices got higher than zero seven and now because politicians don't want to cut the spending or raise taxes, going to risk and that's with the stock market is worried about. kennedy: we've got so many bubbles. >> they are coming down, previous bubbles have already deflated, that's the only good news. kennedy: there goes housing, cars are already too expensive. i'm going to shack up with hobos. >> find a train, hobo on a train. if people did that, the gas

prices would come down. kennedy: thank you very much, always good to see you. meanwhile, babies are still going hungry, i thought this was america. more hospitalized this week due to the nationwide formula shortage. tomorrow fda commissioner will testify before house panel about what went wrong with the closing of the abbott formula plant and why it's taking so long to reopen. meanwhile president biden using defense production act to lift restrictions on truck drivers allowing them to work longer hours on less sleep and deliver more formula. fda banning important. government intervention the solution or the cause? michigan republican congressman, peter meijer. welcome back, congressman. >> thank you. kennedy: what are your feelings as a legislature? does it feel like this was a crisis in the making that could have been averted about four or five steps to go?

why didn't anyone ask in february? >> that's exactly the case when we look at the scenario, impulses for doing something the reality is it's a problem caused by government intervention. the contamination of the facility from abbott labs, that was catastrophic and it results in the death of those children from contaminated baby formula or a tragedy but when it comes to all the steps fda took afterwards, a self-inflicted a lot of these delays, the whistleblowers report took months to be read and it was months from when the facility was shut down to a plan to reopen it's what everyone of the steps you have a federal government is not at all tracking the consequences, the logical consequences, two plus two equals four consequences of their actions and now we will see them loan to europe and

invoke the defense production act because of how messed up our government ultimately involved itself in so many aspects for our economy. kennedy: and then you have the transportation secretary blaming it on an oligopoly of formula makers which are very few because they get state contracts and this is what happens and no one did the math and went there's only a few abbott facilities that make baby formula, one is down. why didn't somebody go let rush the report and get it figured out as quickly as possible like we did with the vaccines so we can get the facility open again so people in desperate need of this can see their babies? >> precisely. i think that is the frustration with the solutions being put forward on the table when there isn't a legislative solution, the whole solution is the executive branch to do its job and actually fulfill obligations it has in its statement. we want to talk about dramatic

restructuring of the fda, i'm down for that but what we have seen around covid, jj, around so many of the ways a constraining government ended up making it that much harder to solve these problems but then when all you have is a hammer, everything and if you have the ability to write pieces of legislation to virtue signal, that's where you will put forward and that's what we saw last week. kennedy: the problem is the government is not the hammer, the government is the hardware store providing the nails so they can hammer everything into the ground, it's utterly useless. the federal government has to get out of the way, stop cronyism stop creating problems that it has to solve when it becomes a crisis. peter meijer, thank you so much. let's go to a press conference on today's horrific texas school

shooting. >> let's do this again. >> sure. >> i apologize, i didn't realize you were on. i'm angry at executive director medications in cis d, this is a tragic time in our district so please note the investigation is not complete. we will only be sharing a statement with you, not providing questions, we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. through the shared statement and not take questions police. >> thank you. good evening. briefly as of now we are still working on this active investigation. once we provide information to the police, we will do so first and foremost, priority is to get information to families and give

essentially unanswerable but we have to try to make sense of some of this in order to move forward and keep kids safe. thus the most important thing here. former fbi investigator, bill daly joins me now, thank you to the show, thank you for being here. >> hey, kennedy. kennedy: what are you thinking about most as you see these facts unfold and you see similarities here between sandy hook and what happened today in uvalde, texas? >> certainly there are similarities between the two cases. i would say however, the big thing is with the money we are spending between covered relief packages between money to ukraine and multi- billions of dollars of packages, we need to focus in on protecting our treasures. we've talked to many times about these incidences that happen, hand sandy hook were colleges and high schools and i think the

time has come for us to say what can we do to refund these facilities we have our young people, trying to learn and protect them? i think from a law enforcement and security perspective, i'm thinking to myself we've done a good job sometimes in the corporate world protecting facilities, put money around that and facilities and protecting those things, let's come up with a plan and i think the plan is to put police officers in each one of the schools around the country's and look at a program and how you protect this facilities and keep them fully locked down hours on a program earlier today and kellyanne conway was there and she spoke about the billions of dollars out there on spending covid money for school districts but let's maybe repurpose that, let's look at that and do something right away with the money without getting into political squabbles and get

packages pass, there's probably money out there. kennedy: under the glad you bring that up because it's $200 billion, 6% of that has been spent. you're all about the teachers unions, teachers demanding safety for the teachers and there are a lot of parents out there who are politically active in ways they never have been and they look at this and say what about the kids? what are you going to do to keep children safe? if you got this money than you better have a mental health apparatus that's much better at identifying and dealing with the kids that are psychopaths walking among their fellow students ready to gun down their peers. gun down old people in a buffalo neighborhood, willing to kill in cold blood children, five, six, 7-year-old kids.

it's unfathomable that much money, that much power has been concentrated and teachers unions when the most vulnerable members of society are left to perish unguarded. what can be done? you put a cop in every school? there are suggestions you hire vets who have law enforcement and military training who know how to operate firearms and that the vets and perhaps that's an avenue for keeping kids safe. >> my view is the first step is police in different jurisdictions and pay police officers for the off duty and bringing them in. down the road you can look at these programs, having vets or others retired, trained to be in the schools but we have facilities to put someone there, let's put police officer in each

school, put the police car outside so when somebody rolls up they can say aha, this may be a risk and reward situation, this is not good so we can get into the iterations around what happens in society and black walls and other things important, too many out there are not being tripped. in my view, i'm a pragmatic view, my sense is we need to do something to refund, put security around these places where the children are and look further, walk them down, close the doors, lock them up and keep them safe when they are on and off buses and look at it and a pragmatic way. the money out there, there's money being spent, all ways out there, this is where we need to spend the money. kennedy: absolutely no one wants to see this happening again. no one wants to experience this again. all those feelings as sandy hook came rushing back, at the time i had 3-year-old and a 7-year-old and 13 and almost 17 and still

worry about them. thank you so much, great to talk to you. it's been a tough night. we'll be right back. stay here.

>> thank you so much for watching on a tough night, even when it is this difficult, it's still the best hour of your day, admit it. tomorrow night, we'll talk

with molly hemingway and ned ryun. we'll talk about this, there will be much more information tomorrow night. we will process it for you. in the meantime, hug your loved ones, especially your kids, and pray for all those families in texas. good night. >> if you can get this done, you got one thing that everyone in the world wants. stuart: an all out race to light up the night. >> it opened up the world. stuart: took i'm provise -- i'm pro advising. >> and cunning. >> a shrewd businessman. >> determination. >> number of things they try is astonishing. >> he had faith. >> the battle of the
