heather: i haven't been there. rob: it's something. heather: people have been talking about his trip so far. guest says she thinks it's been successful. rob: lot a lot of news come out of this international trip. heather: let us know what you think. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> alleged bomber spent three weeks in libya before we turn to england just days before the attack. >> allow people go and be deeply radicalized. we might be scared? we might thought to be racist. >> president's budget unveiled and democrats wasted no time deploying the ridiculous scare tactic. >> senior citizens will lose perhaps the one nutritious meal they get. >> it is not overstatement to say that some children will die because of this. >> president trump continues his marathon european journey with a stop in belgium. >> president trump has been pushing nato to become more relevant by taking on a greater counter terrorism mission.

monday's bombing in manchester has pushed that mission to the want to agenda. >> what took place is horrible, unthinkable. but we will win. 100 percent. >> that's the story. that's america is back. that's the story and the consequences of him being there. >> grave trawmp medal featuring a olive branch. does this mean can i eat for free at any olive garden or just here in italy? steve: eat anywhere free if he would like to. hi, everybody, welcome to the show. we are live from a rainy new york city on thursday. ainsley: tail end of the week which means we can spell the weekend. brian: we are able to do a cold open without us. when it's real serious we open talking. when things are starting to back off the investigation. ainsley: first time this week very have been able to do that. brian: we are starting a little bit later.

meanwhile we begin with a fox news alert. brian: the manchester bomber's father and brother arrested. linked to terror networks worldwide. steve: but the hunt not over yet. authorities intensifying the search for others conducting massive overnight raids throughout england. heather: there are all kinds of details we are learning this morning. eight people under arrest for actively helping this bomber at this concert. his brother allegedly knew about the attack. his father affiliated with isis groups in the past. according to reports. steve: that's right. his brother apparently confessed to a libyan militia that the two of them belong to isis. now, here's the part that's going to bother a lot of people that some of the leaked photographs that the u.k. is really steamed about. is the fact that apparently security services missed five opportunities to stop this guy. brian: mean while, we have more details of the bomb

itself. video of them purchasing a backpack and why there are still people on heightened alert and how this could relate to other bombings. greg palkot is live in manchester where a moment of silence for the victims was just held. greg? [applause] >> very, very emotional, folks. now, you are hearing applause. the applause of the thousands of people who are gathered around this memorials of flowers. they have waited for a minute, rigger the 22 dead. 64 still in the hospital. many of them fighting for they're lives after that dastardly attack monday night on the con verse here in manchester. this as the police very much are searching for who is behind and what is behind the attack. i'm going to pause for a moment. we're just hearing a few words. more applause. it's a very dramatic scene here. this is a city that has been racked by this violence. a city that has pulled together. the second biggest metropolis

in the u.k. i have lived in london for several years now but the hometown feeling here is amazing. we can see it in the flowers, too. the remembrances of those victims. again, as the police are looking very much in to who was supporting these people overnight two more arrests. there were raids, also overnight. and this morning. eight now are under arrest. and it is believed there was substantial network supporting 22-year-old salman abedi, this as we get chilling new surveillance video of him at a shopping center just a couple blocks away from where he did his -- committed his act. he was buying his backpack, which was then filled with explosives and then shrapnel, which was resulting in such carnage all around him on that night. we're also hearing about his father and his brother in libya in the last 18 hours detained as well. his brother allegedly claiming

he knew about the attack and that he knew that isis was involved. his brother, his father also associated with groups linked to al qaeda. a lot to follow. but a lot of emotion here now as we hear singing, prayers, tears, and emotion for those who were killed in the attack in manchester. back to you. brian: all right. thanks, greg. his dad also is quoted as saying, yeah, it's not us. we don't believe in killing innocence. we are not the ones who blow up ourselves. so he is saying that he is not behind it the problem is his dad was linked to al qaeda group in -- when qaddafi was still there in libya. libya.let. ainsley: think about what you and your family discuss. ports, politics. in this family they are talking about blowing people unand planning it together as a family. this will not be the last time there are other families out there doing the same thing and that is scary. steve: i mentioned a moment ago security services missed

five opportunities to stop them including. so bomber's friends called one of those hot lines and said hey, this guy just said being a suicide bomber was okay. and apparently his own family, there is another story out there, his own family was so worried about him, they warned security officials he was dangerous. and so. ainsley: his own family? brian: they took his passport. steve: they convinced him to come to libya where the family were living. come to libya. they confiscated his passport. the only way he was able to leave libya because he said you know, what mom and dad, i'm going to go to a pilgrimage at mecca. they said oh, in that case, here is your passport, next thing you know he heads back home. four days ago he stopped in düsseldorf, germany, people want to know what was going on in düsseldorf. ainsley: why the dad arrested if the dad is saying you are not part of terror and not going to mecca. brian: they are not believing him.

he was caught on video actually buying the backpack. they can't rule out the fact it ended up being a vest it could be a switch in his hand. they are not sure. that could have been a backup situation. but it looks like the penal felt the worse the ring right around the bomber itself. it killed at least seven parents. ainsley: meanwhile president trump is meeting with members of nato. the fight against terror was already on the agenda. this just what happened on monday in manchester. puts a new urgency on that topic. here is the president. >> when you see something like happened two days ago, you realize how important it is to win this fight. and we will win this fight. it's a horrible situation, what took place is horrible; unthinkable. but we will win. 100 percent. brian: that's true. how many of thes plots getting blocked and how many getting aggressive after the explosion.

we sought manhunt in france, we saw the manhunt in boston. we see the manhunt to wrap up 6, 8, 10this family. sooner other later, since our leaders aren't doing it, the american people, the british people, the french people, the belgiums are going to rise up and say you have got to be kidding me. we will start doing things politically correct. we care more about our families than you seem to. steve: meanwhile, the united states, according to charles krauthammer, under the direction of this new president, has a new direction and america is back. >> the real story is not the vatican it is not even the israeli trip. it's the real american policy over iran. getting this 50 sunni nations lined up with saudi arabia. behind us. this is a new day in the middle east. and it's going to have reverberations for many years. that's the story. that's what it's a new middle east right now. america is back. that's the story and the consequences are going to be immense. steve: wufnt things the president is doing with the european ministers right now.

is he trying to convince nato you know what? there are only five countries in nato that pate 2% that they are supposed to be. come on, you guys. hip us out, it's a worldwide war we are against regarding terrorism and other sorts the of of bad stuff. brian: italy about 89% of budget: when asked to increase they say we don't have anything to buy it would be a waste of money. do you know why they don't have anything to buy. we bought it for ourselves in order to defend them. do they miss the calculus that the american people are tired of running 500 wld annual deficits. we are now at 21 trillion because of things like that? there has got to be more of a sincere attempt on the part of our allies to watch their own back. ainsley: that's definitely an important top ping. the most for me and many families throughout is national security. that's why what happened on monday, it can't continue to happen. so it's very important for all these leaders that are part of nato to listen to the president. listen to president trump and say we're going to fight this. we're going to fight these

terror cells and get them -- we're just going to annihilate them. steve: you will see live pictures of the president during our telecast today as he continues his visit to brussels before he leads off to sicily. brian: meanwhile jillian is prepared to not only give us the news but so much more. steve: good morning. jillian: good thursday morning to you and you home as well. hours before the polls open in the montana special election. a g.o.p. congressional candidate is charged with assault. greg defending himself after he is accused of body slam ago guardian reporter. the candidate says that reporter tried to push a phone in his face before this happened. >> i want to talk to you about that later. >> i'm just curious. >> please. >> i'm sick and tired of you guys. the last guy came in here did you the same thing. >> quite a scene. jim forte's campaign says the men both fell. 30% of the vote has already been cast. and the special election to

fill interior secretary ryan zinke's open house seat. did fake russian intelligence affect into hillary clinton. accord ing to "the washington post. the fbi got its hands on the document claiming former attorney general loretta lynch assured the clinton campaign she wouldn't let the investigation into her private email server get too far. in july, comey announced the clinton investigation was over. by august, the fbi concluded the document was fake, possibly mental to confuse the bureau. now president trump is widening his search to replace comey at the fbi. former senator joe lieberman is no longer in the running. airport security may be adding brand new rules for the next time you fly. according to a report, the new policy includes removing all electronics from carry on luggage if they are bigger than a cell phone. food also included. the goal is to declutter carry on luggage to reduce manual

checks when x-ray machines can't see through a crammed bag. the changes come through mightenned fears that terrorists can smuggle bombs on commercial planes. while world leaders search for solutions to the growble global terror crisis. former secretary of state john kerry has reemerged with his own idea, give young jihaddists jobs? >> just infusing more weapons into the gulf states is not going to solve the problem of a region that needs to create more than 60 million new jobs in the next decade alone. it is to provide these booming youth populations with a quality education, with skills for the modern world, with jobs that allow them to actually build a life. >> the former secretary making the comments during a commencement speech yesterday at harvard's john f. kennedy school of government. i'm sure a lot of people will be talking about that one. brian: right a lot of these guys go to college, they have options but they choose different options.

bombs and make these plots. jobs are not the issue. solely. i know sore some people, perhaps. but for the former secretary of state to say that is -- steve: i think we heard it from the last administration and the state department, too. they need jobs. we have heard that. ainsley: just want a positive message you hear from commencement speakers. brian: guy who runs al qaeda is a doctor. he could be seeing patients right now but he is in a cave plotting to kill us. steve: that slows him down. coming up on this thursday, a controversial way to stop people from becoming terrorists. should we make immigrants assimilate, make them to become more american? pete hegseth says yes. ainsley: he is connected to deadly terror attack. why is this guy getting honored in a parade? wait until you hear that decision is being defended. ♪ we're coming ♪ to your city ♪ going to play our guitar ♪ and sick you a country song

brian: fox news alert now. disturbing new details emerging about the manchester bomber and his family suspected terror ties as we get brand new images you are taking in of salman abedi himself and dad and two brothers who were both arrested.

remember, his parents were refugees from libya. our next guest says that explains a lot. here to explain that is weekend "fox & friends" co-host pete hegseth, a fox news contributor and u.s. army veteran. pete, you think the problem is when people come to a western country, they are not blending in. >> very much so. it's all about assimilation and allegiance. it doesn't mean they give up the cultures they came from and their family and the people they know. it means when you come to the u.k. or to the united states, what has made these western countries successful is that they coalesce around a set of ideas. that requires things like language. learning the language because it's the language of opportunity in that new land. and pledging allegiance to the flag and the country that you live. in in this particular instance, the parents came as refugees, fleeing conflict. they are also islam i.s fighting qaddafi so there was no vetting of them. but their son grew up with a divided allegiance. that's the problem. when vu this divided allegiance you live in a country but you are not of it.

you don't commit to it the way you would and more easily seduced to radical ideas. brian: what is society supposed to do immigrant. not know the language so government is trying to make it easier and you think it's boomeranged. where do you draw the line? >> well, first of all, have you got to make sure that when they come you give them every opportunity to assimilate i want to pull up a teddy roosevelt quote. he did some research on this. he gave a great quote in 1907. he said we should insist if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes american or brit and asimulates himself to us, he shall be treated on exact equality with everyone else there can be no divided auto allegiance here. the go key phrases are coming in good faith and also no divided allegiance. have you got to have extreme vetting to make sure people are coming in good faith especially with refugees who aren't striving to come but are placed in a particular country. that's a big difference. and then divided allegiance, if there is an indication that

there is no investment in the state they are, in these western countries we better get our arm around it because the problem is only getting bigger. these refugees of if they don't assimilate refugees next generation has divided allegiance and easy for the picking when it comes to islamists. brian: and back off american history in the schools. you don't even have to know about the country that you are now getting opportunity to excel in. pete, thanks so much. >> you got it, thank you. brian: 10 minutes now before the bottom of the hour. schieffer is what is straight ahead. did the obama administration illegally keep violent ms-13 gang members in the united states? bombshell report breaking in morning on just that and one of the most heroic military stories of our time. army staff sergeant battling hundreds of taliban fighter force 12 hours, saving his men and not giving up. earned him the medal of honor. clint romashe here and why he

memorial day. clinton romesha joins us now from florida. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. thanks for having me. steve: i know it's got to be tough for you to talk about. let's take folks back to october of 2009. you are the commander at outpost keating in afghanistan. and you have been sent there to dismantle it, why? >> we'll, we had been stationed there for about three months. we were holding the area for the elections going on that year. we had finally gotten word because of the tactical location being basically having an outpost at the bottom of a valley, it was deemed pretty much indefensible and unuseful. so we were actually about to break down. but two weeks before that the taliban had different plans for us. and hit us pretty hot and heavy that morning of october 3rd. steve: tell us how it started. >> kicked off bright and early, 6:00 in the morning. i mean, first shots came. in it was such, just wall of steve and rpgs and bullets

flying in the air. no matter where you were and where you were standing, easy target. the enemy had the high ground all around us. shooting down upon us. and the reports from each defensive position immediately came. in which is overwhelming accurate enemy fire. and to try to resupply and gain fire sportswriter at fire . almost 13, 14 hours next tried to push back and recover everything. >> steve: you were desperately outnumbered. >> they estimated we went up against the force of about 300 to 400 fighters against 52 americans sitting in the bottom of that valley. steve: how did you do it? >> it was one of those things that you rely on your training but more importantly have you your battle buddies to your left and right doing your job. as i look back on that day, i truly don't believe i did anything special. just did my job like the guys to my left and right were

doing. truly motivation of not the enemy trying to kill us but the love for fellow soldier left and right that pushed you forward do what you knew they would do for you. steve: invariably the action you took saved a number of american lives. sadly eight americans were killed in this particular battle. what do you want people to know about the men who died that day in that ravine? >> you know, as part of doing the book, red platoon, that was a big motivation behind it, to help tell the story for those eight men that are no longer alive today to tell their own. to show them as people, as husbands, as sons, as fathers. though show them as the warriors they were fighting for each other. fighting for, you know, so much more than just themselves. giving up everything and more than was ever asked of them. so we could come and survive that horrible day. and with memorial day coming up, especially now, you know, to mortalize and remember them. because that's one of the

biggest fears is foreguesting what that sacrifice and heroism looks like in our history of what was laid before us to get us here today. steve: surely. i know you are out of the service. but you are still connected to the service. what are you doing? >> you know, i'm still pretty busy with doing a lot of veterans outreach. actually just down here in florida with the sons of south fork. we took a group of veterans fishing. truly amazing to reconnect and continuing to move forward every day. always having a goal. always trying to strive to do better. steve: well, sir, thank you very much for your service it is an honor to have you on the program. his book now out in paperback is called red platoon. clint romesha, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: you bet. all right. it is 6:30 now in new york city. he is connected to deadly terror attacks. so why is this guy getting honored in a parade? wait until you hear how that decision is being defended on this thursday. and democrats are already

pulling out the scare tactics to undermine president trump's proposed budget. >> add it all up, the trump budget is a comic book villain bad budget. steve: is that true? charles payne weighs in on that next ♪ don't have very long ♪ yeah! ♪ ♪ with this level of intelligence... it's a supercomputer. with this grade of protection... it's a fortress. and with this standard of luxury... it's an oasis. the 2017 e-class. it's everything you need it to be... and more. lease the e300 for $569 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing.

i have chocolate in one hand and beer -- oh, i can't tell you that i can tell you this. great thing here in belgium. huge day as you point out. economic cooperation. security coordination and obviously trade among the many topics we expect the president to be talking about in his conversations here today. certainly also keep an ear about the paris climate accord. that may come up and we may be talking about that a great deal. anti-isis campaign and then of course we will be looking to a readout of that lunch with the french president macron. now clearly nato is going to be the real dominant conversation piece here, right in the president has been very forceful saying look, nation members have to pay their fair share folks at least 2% of g.d.p. by 2024. he is going to hear how they are going to get to that number. right now the u.s. is contributing about 4% of g.d.p. the president feels like that is simply unfair. we hope to hear from the president soon. if we do i promise i will

bring it to you first here on fox. steve: thank you very much. charles payne the host of making money with charles payne on fox business is joining us now. in the history of the fox news channel, i don't know that anybody has ever shown up for a program who actually brought their lunch

ainsley: everyone who pays taxes. august of their taxes are going to be cut. which seems like a great

plan. cut 3.5 trillion in spending. boost military spending and leave entitlements alone. people are quoting this as a home run. very reagan night. most fiscally conservative budget since reagan that's from chris edwards from the cato institute. >> i love the small government part of it slashing some of these bloated departments. how do these department of education and hud and all these things get a 40, 50 billion-dollar budget that's mind boggling? i will say though that ultimately, ultimately we do need some sort of reform with social security and medicare. brain brian president doesn't want to touch that. >> no, no politician does. brian: told by the president not. >> to because it was a campaign promise. we get that so ultimately, to keep social security, to save it, you do have to reform. honestly, it was literally a lockbox and it catch cash in it. opened it up. brian: we robbed from it. >> it was never designed to work. i think that's the premise we have to begin. when it was instituted. first of all we borrowed it from germany. bismarck wanted to fight off

the wave of socialism. did he that as a compromise and we adopghted it. when we took it when we were limit 60, 57, 58, it was never designed to hurt and now it could hurt us. ultimately we need to focus on that. the idea of smaller government is something we all should embrace and the idea of rewarding people for working, somewhere along the line the notion became that all money generated in this country belonged to government first and us second. they are not giving the money back. these are taxes they shouldn't be taking from us in the first place. >> now we have gotten you wound up. >> it's been a month since we wrote that check. brian: we should have copied their vocational education system. steve: thank you very much. 9:00 and 2:00. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian. jill jill most intriguing lunch pail i have ever seen.

well, the lone star state is booming. new population estimates were just released by the census bureau and 10 of the 15 fastest growing cities are in the south. and four of the top five are in texas. they show that conroe texas, north of houston was the fastest growing of them all with a 7.9% increase from 2015 to 2016. that growth 11 times that of the nation. back to you. ainsley: i like at the bottom of the scene it says southern comfort. thanks, jillian. turning to extreme weather. several tornadoes twisting across the south and you were midwest. this incredible video of one of the tornadoes is out of jeffersonville, ohio. brian: storm brings high winds, heavy rain and hail leaving a path of destruction there. it's a vicious system now on the move. steve: janice dean is tracking what's ahead. as i look at the weather, not only is it raining across new york city it's

raining across the eastern third of the country and u.s. january january did you it back to you, steve. just kidding. steve: tell us how severe some of these storms can be. >> we saw a dozen reports of tornadoes yesterday. and that system is moving across the mid-atlantic and the northeast. there are going to be delays and cab sell legs at the airports. call ahead, check ahead. there are the reports the tornadoes over 150 reports of hail and damaging winds. all of that is moving into the mid-atlantic. next system moving out out of the rockies. we are going to track it. the memorial day looking like it could be a wet one again across the eastern third. we will certainly keep you posted. back inside. steve: all right. janice dean where it is raining here in new york city as fleet week starts officially. brian: they can handle it they are used to the open seas. fought for freedoms two. georgia vets have to fight tofully their flag. >> do you plan on taking it down? >> when i'm dead. brian: the vets fighting back here live next.

steve: excellent. stunning new evidence reveals the obama administration knowingly violated the u.s. constitution of thousands of americans for a number of years. and that could be just the beginning. tip of the iceberg. judge napolitano has been talking about this for years. he is next. you wouldn't believe what's in this kiester. a farmer's market. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours.

this goes on and on and on. and it keeps growing exponentially. in to to the tens of millions of people. the federal statute requires that this not happen.

that the nsa create what's called minimization procedures. a fancy phrase for a computer program that will stop this from happening. that will prevent them from listening to people that are not authorized to be listening to. the nsa has its own court called the fisa court. it is unheard of for the fisa court, which grants 99 plus percent of all nsa applications to rebuke the nsa. last month they rebuked the. in sa. last night or the night before the rebuke and 100 page opinion which i read for you, brian. came out. brian: wow. and it was a circa organization. freedom of information act that got all this information forward. so don't say people at home say this can't be -- this is not politics. this is fact. now in 2011 when this was passed or reauthorized. they promised to put fail safes in there to change it and modernize it and they never did it. >> you are right and they got caught. this isn't a couple of people. this is tens of millions. now some people will say i

don't care, they can listen to anything i say. as long as it keeps me safe. ah-ha. let's go to the susan rice scenario where people in the white house can gain access to conversations. steve: unmask names. >> unmaverick the names in the conversations, and then use that for political purposes. senator rand paul says that was done to him. he says he also knows and he hasn't given us this person's name and i would know to know who it is another u.s. senator who suffered the same fate. ainsley: if this happened under the trump administration. >> obviously this would be the horrific. bright lining to this cloud. the statute that authorizes this expires at the end of this year. so it will be up for reauthorization and it will be, i think, a great debate about it in the fall. for the first time we have somebody in the white house who was personally victimized by this so the outcome might be more faithful to the constitution than the outcomes

the last time this was debated. ainsley: tea party is jumping on this and calling for investigation. >> i'm sure they were. a lot of people should be jumping on it. steve: judge, thank you very much. scary stuff. >> yes. steve: drug free or no medicaid. one state now forcing people to take drug tests to get entitlements. ainsley: they fought for our freedom, now two georgia veterans have -- they are fighting to fly their american flags. >> do you plan on taking it down? >> when i'm dead. ains answer the veterans fighting back here live next. ♪ where the stars and stripes ♪ you should both get snapshot from progressive. it rewards good drivers with big discounts on car insurance.

ainsley: well, they fought for our freedom, but some veterans

in georgia don't have the freedom to fly their american flags. a homeowner's association now telling residents that they can only fly their flags those 23 days of the year. mother's day is on there. father's day is not. our next guest says that there is no way that they are following those rules. joining us now two of the veterans that are fighting back that live in that community. have you navy veteran tom wilder and air force veteran pete rocket. thank you so much for being with us. pete, i will start with you. what was your response to this? >> i was dismayed initially when we moved into the neighborhood a year ago. it was okay to fly the american flag and my wife and i mounted one on our house. we had one on our house all of our lives and why were shocked a couple of months ago when we got a letter that said we were in violation of the covenants and we needed to take the flag down. did i not take the flag down

and it's still up. ainsley: tom, what was your reaction? >> i was extremely upset. that's a polite way of putting it. ainsley: we saw an interview with you. a local reporter. that's why we had you guys on because this was brought to our attention. we saw, tom, you said that flag is going to fly until you die. what about the reperpercussions because these hoa laws are so strong they can actually take your house. >> i'm under the impression they can only take my house if there is a tax lien on the house. i don't think -- i don't know what kind of lien they can place on our home. i will say my wife is concerned. but if i have got to defend it, then i have got a good friend in bob barr and bob is an attorney and he has never run from a fight as we all know. ainsley: all right. you all got an email from the homeowner's association. this was the loophole statement in that letter these

guidelines help maintain the aesthetic and architectural theme of the community. what is so wrong about the american flag, pete? why don't they want that flag flying? >> that's my question. how can you -- how can you say that the american flag detracts from the looks, the aesthetics of a community? they treat it by limiting it to the holidays as it's a decoration like christmas decorations. you can put up your christmas decorations on these days. the american flag is not a decoration. it's a symbol and it's a symbol of a lot of things to at love people. i fly it because i served. a fly it because my buddies served and lost their life. i fly it because my father served. myson hamy son-in-law has done e

tours in iraq and afghanistan already. it would be a travesty to take that flag down. ainsley: coming, i will give you the last word. >> i'm not going to take it down. i fought for our flag and our country and i will continue to fight for our flag and our country. no matter. what. ainsley: thank you both for your service. thank you for being here. and thank you for continuing to fly the flag. coming up, is poverty a state of mind? that's what ben carson just said and people are going berserk over that. we will lay out his argument. while world leaders lay out solutions to global terror, katy perry has an idea. >> i think that the greatest thing we can do is just unite and love on each other and like no barriers, no borders, like we all need to just coexist. ainsley: so should we all just hug it out? what do you think? stay with us.

steve: i don't know if you would call it playing golf but i will be in attendance. steve: meantime reporting this from the fox news alert. manchester bomber and father arrested. linked to terror networks worldwide. ainsley: but the hunt is not over yet. authorities conducting massive overnight raids. 8 people are already under reats. brian: we're learning new details about where the killer bought supplies before the concert massacre because we got the tape. you're looking at it greg palkot live in manchester where thousands are gathering to pay tribute to the victims. keep in mind this guy had a whole network of support many of which was his evil family members. hey, greg. >> amazing stuff. hello, guys. yeah, that's right. more details on that in a moment. ne behind us, this mountain of flours in tribute one hour -- fn tribute one hour ago. marked silence. 64 still remain in hospitals

after this dastardly act monday night at a concert. overnight arrests, raids this morning. yes, 8 people now in custody. believed to be connected with and supporting the man that did that deed. and new images, new details of what he was doing in the couple of days before the attack. solemsole salman abedi seen on snurels shopping mall a couple days before the attack was conducted buying a knapsack which he would then fill with explosives and shrapnel to do his deed. yes, new word coming from libya that his brother and his father were detained by authorities there in the past 18 hours or. so his brother alleging that he knew about the attack and that isis was involved. again, this is just an allegation in detention there in libya. father past association with groups. associated with al qaeda. again that will be looked at very hard now.

as security remains on high alert across this country. troops out, security threat is seen at its most severe by authorities. that means they feel that maybe another attack is imminent, that maybe that bomb maker is still out there, the one that produced that bomb for this individual. finally, again, victims being rebound. a moving moment just a short while ago at the children's hospital here in manchester where 12 little kids are fighting for their lives. guess who was there? the queen. 91 years old. she is a mother. she is a grandmother. she said great grandmother. and she visited some of those little kids. amazing stuff in an amazing city that we witnessed pulling together against one of the most heinous act that we have witnessed on this job. back to you. steve: all right. greg palkot, very emotional there in manchester, england, an emotional scene. it sounds like some of the stories that we are hearing from some of the family members of suicide, homicide bomber, he was upset with the

kill of muslim children in syria. so what's he going to do? he kills a bunch of children in great britain. brian: more children, at least seven parents. including one polish couple who was there. both died. children are now in child protective services they have no parents. steve: waiting for the kids to get out of the show. brian: unbelievable. you find out about the family. links to terror. you wonder why the son 22 years old wasn't made a priority to be followed to be trailed to be watched now that we can pull up this video to show how he is. goes beyond his family when you see the number of people arrested. when it comes to the bomb itself. they are not sure if it was a backpack or a vest. it might be a vest, more likely a backpack. they said it was 12-volt battery. it was another battery hooked up to all this shrapnel and he might have had a switch right in his hand ready to go and circles around him those people that just happened to be waiting there. ainsley: friends and acquaintances coming forward

saying they saw some of these signs. it's a little too late. that's the problem. when you see something, you absolutely have to say something before it is too late. steve: his friends called one of those hotlines and they said hey, we just heard the kid say being a suicide bomber was okay. keep in mind, this guy came back from libya just within the last week. and as it turns out, apparently his family was so worried about him being radicalized over in manchester they convinced him to come back to libya where his mother and father lived. it sounds like the mother at some point did call security services and say i'm worried about this guy. they took his passport. and they would not let him leave libya because worried he would try to pull off something like this. but then he said you know what, mom and dad, i'm not going back to manchester, i'm going to go to saudi arabia and mecca and i'm going to go to the hajj. pilgrimage. brian: what could go wrong? steve: they said sure, go. a week later, he pulls this off after stopping in

düsseldorf, germany which some terror experts say there is a lot of terror run through düsseldorf. one story in the telegraph this morning and apparently it's just circumstantial but apparently a well-known bomb maker lived on that same street as the guy in march. brian: we haven't found the bomb maker yet and that's going to be key. the bbc reports that the police in the u.k. are not sharing intelligence with the united states. they say because the "new york times" published stories and talked about being a suicide bomber, they feel as though we are not trust worthy. ainsley: doesn't seem like -- i don't know the whole situation when it comes to the investigation, but it seems like they didn't do their job. if people were calling in the hotline and even parents were worried about this kid, and 8 people were arrested just a few days after, this all they had to do was look a little bit into his life and they would have found out that he was tied to terror. pete hegseth was on earlier and he said how important it is for assimilation to happen because if not things like

this, you're going to see more bosomings like this. listen. >> it's all about assimilation and allegiance. it doesn't mean they give up the cultures they came from around the family and the people they know it means when you come to the u.k. or to the united states, what has made these western countries successful is that they coalesce around a set of ideas. in this particular instance, the parents came as refugees, fleeing conflict. they are also islamists fighting qaddafi there was no vetting of them. but their son grew up with a divided allegiance. that's the problem. when you have this divided allegiance you live in a country but you are not of it. you don't commit to it the way you would. you are more easily seduced by radical ideas. steve: where do we go from here? as you know president trump is in europe. he is in brussels. he is talking to european union leaders and whatnot. and here is his strategy about where we go from here in the fight against terror and ultimately isis. >> when you see something like happened two days ago, you

realize how important it is to win this fight. and we will win this fight. it's a horrible situation, what took place is horrible. unthinkable. but we will win. 100 percent. brian: if you think about this entire trip and the approach the president has had, he has been very buttoned up and times when it's unscripted speaking from the heart has been very effective. i think there is mutual respect building amongst our piers, amongst the people think this has been a significant trip already is speaker newt gingrich. >> the most interesting thing about the trump presidency this year is going to be to look at the extraordinary discipline, the organization, the planning, that gave him this 9 day tour that's unbelievable. and compare it to the chaos in washington. and i hope he's going to come back here with a determination to start running the domestic operation with the same seriousness that he runs the foreign operation.

being -- your point, if you aren't talking about jobs, and you are not talking about health reform and not talking about infrastructure and not talking about a better tax system, why are you saying it? i think this is a whole different approach. i'm hoping the president is looking at this extraordinary historic achievement and drawing some conclusions about how he is going to change the whole operation here at home. ainsley: it's been amazing trip. it's been interesting to see him with all of these world leaders representing the three major religions. also a memorial going to be unveiled today and he will be are angela merkel the chancellor of germany. and there will be pieces of the world trade center that are part of that memorial as well as the berlin wall because she lived through that. steve: this is a side of the new president, president donald trump we haven't seen before. i can't tell you how many people have told me looks like a president. ainsley: yesterday i was in central park and a girl stopped me and said i'm so glad you are reporting what melania and ivanka are doing. melania yesterday and we will show this later in the show, on social media a picture of a little boy who needed a heart

transplant and he got the heart transplant yesterday and melania was visiting with him and speaking, she speaks five lage languages and she was speaking italian to these patients. brian: central park offers a lot of options. ainsley: it's in our backyard when you are in the city. brian: jillian you have the news? jill hours before the polls open in the montana special election, a g.o.p. congressional candidate is charged with assault. defending himself after he is accused of slamming himself against a guardian reporter. that reporter tried to push a phone in his face before this happened. >> i will talk to you about that later. >> there is not going to be time. >> please. i'm sick and tired of you guys. the last guy that came in here did you the same thing. jillian: reporter ben jacobs tweeting that his glasses broke when he was body

♪ ♪ brian: nato meeting is just few hours away. president trump set to deliver some tough remarks to the group he once called obsolete claiming member countries weren't doing enough or paying enough to address terrorism specifically. so will his tough talk at these nations to pull their own weight? here to weigh in former white house press secretary under president bush ari fleischer.

they have already showed a willingness to spend and listen. correct? >> yes and no. you still have a situation where 23 of the 28 are not paying 2% of the budget on defense as required to be a member of nato. they said correctively 40% increase. still most nations are going to be below 2% threshold almost all still it remains a problem. trump was right to point it out. he should keep his foot on the gas and make 28 out of 28 pay their fair share. brian: obsolete don't know america's role right now? >> yes. it was. here is why. i say this as a very establishment republican who is internationalist. every president of both parties for decades has tried to get united states toe to pay their fair share. they are polite and they never do it. you needed an outsider like donald trump to come in and break the mold. that's the only thing that's shaking them up to make them think they should do it. brian: what's the difference that president trump should be taking from this trip as opposed to what i was doing prior to that which was a full time turbulent operation? >> this has been a shining success for donald trump so far.

the reason is he had something he wanted to say answered stuck to what he wanted to say and he had the pictures and the background to match. he needs to do that domestically. he needs to give policy speeches domestically. travel around the country and give a speech about what tax reform means to this group and that group. what fixing and repealing obamacare to this group and that group and do it domestically. and lay off the offensive tweets. you notice there have been none of that on this trip. and it's all to his good. brian: it would be great if he would just say i will not tweet anything unless somebody screens it first. 50% of his problems would probably go away. he has got one area of confrontation. it's the paris agreement. his whole staff, his family, has split. the pope is pushing for him to leave it steve bannon says you promise not to. what should de? >> typically presidents have their own ideas and so you don't have to staff divide. that's the reason why there are so leaks. the president knows what the policy is and staff adheres to it he has to decide is he for or against it. this is dealing with global warming.

he has to decide are we going to stay out or stay. in only presidents are can make those calls. i don't know what he will do on this trip he may obfuscate kick it down the roaden and come back. staff changes? >> i think it's inevitable. when you read what's going on behind the scenes. you get the sense he is so frustrated that something has got to give. sometimes, brian, i will tell you, i'm in the mind set, let him have everybody around him that does it his way. he needs to be comfortable. he is the president. is he trying to shoe horn in experienced washington people into an operation. that just kind of rejects their advice. brian: chuck schumer just passed out on that comment. more donald trumps around donald trump. >> let him rise or fail doing it his way. brian: okay. ari fleischer, great to sigh. great job last night on the specialists. coming up straight ahead on our show, world leaders search for solutions to global terror. katy perry has a different perspective. >> i think that the greatest thing we can do is just unite and love on each other and

like no barriers, no borders, like we all need to just coexist. brian: so easy. so should we just hug it out? a former army ranger might have a different perspective or might agree with katie katie. i can't to wait find out. and we're usaa members for life. mmmm. mmmm. mmmm... ugh. nothing spoils a moment like heartburn. try new alka-seltzer ultra strength heartburn relief chews. it's fast, powerful relief with no chalky taste.

attack in manchester, england where isis targeted children, katy perry says she has got the solution to fight terror. it's love. >> i think like the greatest thing that we can do now is just unite as people, as like fan bases, all of it, you know. i think that the greatest thing we can do is just unite and love on each other and like no barriers, no borders, like we all need to just coexist. steve: no barriers, no borders. you know what? she is not the only celebrity who feels that way. justin timberlake tweeted my thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this horrific act in manchester, we need to do better. we need to love one another. miley cyrus posted this on instagram. this must end. no more war. no more innocent lives taken. l-o-v-e. so, would love really work? let's talk to sean parnell, a

former army ranger and the author of outlaw platoon heroes, renegades, infidels and the brotherhood of war in afghanistan. he is already aweing from pittsburgh. what do you make of these celebrities and their prescription for terror? >> i mean, it's really easy, it's really easy to say co-exist and advocate for open borders when you live in a gated community surrounded by armed guards and security every day. they live in a bullet proof bubble. the biggest decision that katy perry makes every day is whether she is going to wear blue or gold eye shadow. she is completely out-of-touch with the lives of ordinary americans and the threats that we face every day. and she is furthermore completely out of touch with what it means and takes to defend our freedom in this country. steve: maybe what they were referring to as the aftermath as the families pick up the pieces the families need the love, not necessarily about how we fight terror. >> sure, no doubt about it

unity is important with regards to how we combat terror. candlelight vigils are useless without a action step. a proaction action step that goes after isis where they live in their home countries, targets them and kills them. and we have got to do that and got to do it now. if we don't, look, every time a celebrity rushes out or somebody on the left rushes out, and says we need to come together, it basically shows weak nez. and any time you show weakness to a terrorist, it emboldens them to attack more. what really drives me crazy, steve, is that the government in manchester, the police chief in manchester, he talked about condemning the attack for about a minute and then spent about 30 minutes on the dangers of islamaphobia. nobody is blaming all of islam for these attacks. but, let's do what's right and let's start protecting our citizens and let's start going after the bad guys and killing them where they live. steve: i think in his comments the mayor of manchester also said we have got to get back

to normal, whatever normal is. if normal is where he wants to go back, security services apparently were warned five times about this guy who was a ticking time bomb and nobody stopped him. >> right, the whole point we need to love one another. we need to unite and open borders. look, it's not working all that well in europe. they have that policy already. let me tell you a quick story and when i learned that you can't coexist with people like this. 90% of the missions we did in afghanistan were humanitarian aid missions where we were bringing food, water, and crayons to children. and the first time that the enemy shot at us, i had guys wounded. barely made it out alive. i get back to our base. i open up the trunk of our trucks and i pulled out a box of crayons that had a bullet hole in them. and at that moment i realized that there are people in this world that just want to kill you for who you are and what you stand for. and that is our western way of life. our western values and freedom. and our enemy was willing to kill us so that -- to prevent

us from bringing crayons and food to children? that evil cannot coexist with the good, peace loving people of the world. and we as the united states of america have a duty and obligation to stamp it out. steve: well put. sean parnell joining us today from pittsburgh. sean, thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. thank you guys for having me. steve: you bet. what do you think about that, folks. email us at friends@foxnews.com or facebook us or tweet us as well. is poverty simply a safety mind? that's what dr. ben car sob has said. people are going berserk. we will lay out his argument for that coming up. they provide the blanket of freedom you sleep under every night and this weekend, we're going to honor them. >> to those heroes who have served and defended our freedoms, to all of u this bud is for you. >> here. >> here. here. steve: that man giving the toast with america the beer folds of honor founder major

how do you do that? because that's the feedback a lot of people are going to be hearing and think that donald trump hates poor people. >> he doesn't care about paying the political price. that's what makes him special versus any other politician. so this blueprint that he has rolled out relative to what we need to do totally reverses his priorities. at the top of this segment, you show four democrats telling four lies. those are absolute lies that they are basically using to try to scare people. children are not going to die because of this plan. their lives may be saved because of this plan. brian: medicaid will be cut? >> no. brian: food stamps will be cut back because nic mulvaney who is going to be on 40 minutes goal is to get them off these programs. >> yes. the rate of consumption increase is going to be reduced because they are going to get people back to work. they didn't cut the base amount. that's the big lie they are telling.

father and brother arrested. link to terror networks worldwide. brian: wow. but the hunt is not over. authorities conducting massive overnight raids. eight people now under arrest. expect that list to grow. steve: and we're learning chilly details about where the killer bought supplies before the massacre. gregg is live in manchester with brand-new significant evidence authorities have just collected. gregg. >> absolutely. hi, folks, we are in the center of manchester where the flowers continue to build here at this memorial to the victims of the attack. and, yes, as the police go after who was behind the attack, not just the bomber, but others supporting him. overnight, arrests this morning, raids eight now held in custody and the police just in the past hour or so have confirmed that these are significant arrests and evidence gathered in these raids are important. they do feel there was a network behind them. we do have new images of the bomber just a couple of days

before the attack, just a couple of blocks where he committed the attack at a shopping mall buying that backpack, which he would then fill with shrapnel to do all the damage. and, yes, in the last 18 years detained in libya his father and brother. said to have admitted ties to isis and also knowing about the attack. the father said to have past associations with and groups associated with al-qaeda. the bomber himself had been in libya a short time before the attack. this as the whole country remains on high alert and the highest security threat level. that means that they feel that the bomb maker, the guy that supplied the bomb-making material is still out there and could be planting some stuff on somebody new to create an attack. that's why we're seeing troops sometimes in place of police. and, yes, incredibly, i've covered a lot of these attacks but never have i seen the casualty rate grow instead of fall. 75 in hospital, 14 of this are

kids visited today believe it or not by 91-year-old queen elizabeth, a mother, grandmother, a great grandmother. remembering these kids in this horrible attack. back to you guys. steve: gregg in front of a sea of flowers in the heart of manchester. you know what's interesting, we've been able to see some of these unbelievable photographs of the crime scene and of the bomber. and the way we were able to get that is somebody inside the u.s. government leaked them to the new york times. and the british government is really steamed and, in fact, the police have stopped sharing information with united states on the investigation. they are furious. apparently the united kingdom is about the leaks and john roberts who is traveling with the president just put out a statement that teresa may has made clear i will make clear to president trump, later today when she sees him, that intelligence that is shared between our law enforcement agencies must remain secure. brian: right but you cannot blame president trump or his administration on this.

steve: no. brian: the bbc reported -- steve: they have a leak problem with this information. brian: and, by the way, they better not lock us out because we'll do the best hunting possible for these people and establish links inside isis. guy is reporting that this guy and this guy's family lived in the same complex as a huge nest of radicalized uk citizens who decided i'm going to go fight for isis in iraq and surrounding area. they're finding paper work to track back to the little estate area in which he grew up. ainsley: also, there are individuals that notified the hotline saying there's red flags surrounding this guy. and then a few days after this attack on monday, eight people arrested. i feel like all they had to do was kind of look into his life a little bit and maybe they would have something. brian: and maybe they're overwhelmed that there's so many people that fit this profile maybe part of the 3,500 that are suspected terrorists. ainsley: look what he looked like. he looked like darth vader.

he's dressed in all black. how are you going to point him out in a crowd? it's pretty easy. brian: well, not in that picture. ainsley: the one where he's wearing the backpack and hoodie. right here. if he walked into a concert venue like that with a bunch of little girls around, that looks pretty scary to me. steve: well, i tell you what. the security services tabloids over in london, they say that security missed five chances to stop the bomber. and, brian, to your point how mi-5 may be busy because they're tracking the 3,500 people. this guy just got back from libya a week ago. he was suspected of having some sort of ties, although he wasn't a high risk. but still, maybe they ought to keep an eye on guys who just got back from libya a week ago. brian: so everybody's together, you know, in the nato meetings, 26 world leaders there, one of which is our president and here's his tone yesterday. trump: when you see something like what happened two days

ago, you realize how important it is to win this fight, and we will win this fight. it's a horrible situation. what took place is horrible. unthinkable, but we will win 100%. brian: got to be more aggressive than what we're doing right now. in france, they're not stopping anything, in brussels, they're not stopping anything, in germany, of their really slow to realize they have a problem in their midst. and now in the uk, two hits in the last six weeks. ainsley: new urgency on what happened on monday. we have the president over there and this happens in the uk and everyone stops and listens when you talk about terrorism now. brian: sure. steve: and let's face it. president trump. president donald trump is blunt. a few days ago he said i'm not geocall them monsters because they like that. i'm going to call them losers. evil losers. and then you got him yesterday in brussels where he talks about how we are going to beat this 100%, and that's exactly the message the people want to

hear. although, we've seen those on the political left in the show business world that have a different message. brian: so many times you think to yourself, what would celebrities do? for example, that's really what i think. and sure enough, she was able to promote her album and got a serious question. she was able to handle that. also i know was on the couch with jimmy kimmel. i love what he said. his heart goes out to people in manchester, but we have to understand this threat, and he sounded like he was reading donal donald trump's teleprompter. steve: well, that's good. but then you have people like katy perry and justin timberlake -- and then john, who said my thoughts and prayers are with those in manchester. we need to do better. we need to love one another. and certainly that's what you need to do to the victim's families.

but sean said that's not how you get rid of terror. >> it's really easy to say coexist and advocate for open borders when you live in a gated compound surrounded by armed guards and security every day. they basically live in a bulletproof bubble. there are people in this world that just want to kill you for who you are and what you stand for. and that is a western way of life, our western values, and freedom. that evil cannot coexist with the good peace-loving people of the world. and we as the united states of america have a duty and obligation to stamp it out. ainsley: yeah, try hugging and loving on isis. see how that goes. steve: the families impacted, they need love. ainsley: the families, of course. what a wonderful message to be able to say we want to love everybody. of course, who doesn't want to do that? but i don't think just hugging isis is going to do the trick. brian: seven parents lost their lives picking up kids, just happened to be sitting in the lobby. gina writes as far as i'm concerned, are evil losers and i for one like to hear my president telling it like it is.

ainsley: kim on facebook says it wouldn't have mattered what my president said or how he said it. they would have found something wrong with it. steve: carol said on facebook, i love how my president is down to earth enough to not sugar coat things. you're right about that. he doesn't sugar coat much. brian: and final, the battlefield is not fighting the war these days. it is our law enforcement. our police officers out there in our cities and our streets who are actually on the -- they're the tip of the spear these days. ainsley: that's what's scary. brian: and the investigators and the detectives. and they've been under fire domestically. steve: that's right. ainsley: yeah. steve: now coming up in the conclusion of this hour, we're going to go out, we've got the mud run and jillian who is new to the fox and friends family is actually going to be changing clothes, i believe, to take part. >> i hope so. is this part of my ignition or something? brian: we've all done it multiple times, and it's jillian's turn. and you've got the athletic background. >> well, let's see how it

eight people under arrest, but they're still focusing on the bomber's family. here to weigh in, daniel. and i know you're all over this manchester story. so far, we find out this guy, this terrorist was hiding in plane sight so to speak. >> and apparently had been notified to the authorities by other local muslims that were worried about signs it of radicalization. i tell you what this does. it's the final nail in the coffin that terrorism is somehow our fault, somehow provoked by western foreign policy. you think about this, the family was persecuted because they were religious. they were given sanctuary in the u.s. and then we infested a huge amount of blood and treasure in the regime that had been persecuting in libya, and yet it ends up with him blowing up a arena full of teen girls.

steve: and donald trump a couple of days ago said i'm not going to call them monsters, i'm going to call them evil losers because that's what they are and he also -- we played a sound byte, where the president said we do get these people. there's quite a change in how the leadership is prosecuting the war on terror, isn't there? >> yeah. and i think a very welcome one. i think that change of language is also welcome. a monster is a thing of fear. a monster is something that the rest of us cower in front of, and we absolutely should not treat these people at their own valuation you know? they see themselves as elicit soldiers in some dangerous worldwide cause. we should not treat them that way. we should treat them exactly what they are. losers. first of all, in the most basic sense, these are people with unhappy troubled lives, with history of violence, antisocial behavior, no luck with girls,est, et cetera.

they're looking for validation. al-qaeda has been crushed in afghanistan, islamic state is given up ground every day. so they are exactly what he said. they are evil losers, and i think we should scorn them rather than fearing them. brian: 20 seconds. teresa may mad at the u.s. because they say that we used -- we made their intelligence public. your reaction to them not sharing intelligence with us now. >> when the british secretary says irritating, that is as close as we get to purple choking fury. it is regrettable. the intelligence sharing between your country and mine and our friends in canada, australia, new zealand, is the basis of western security. it's the closest relationship in the world, and it is thwarted god knows how many assaults at this time. so, please, let's make sure that it works. steve: that's right. we can share it. we can't leak it to the process. thank you very much.

the age of 4 in 1969. my mother had grown up wearing the face veil. so we came from a very conservative interpretation of islam. i knew no english. we lived in converted world war ii barracks, turned on the lights and they to wait for the cockroaches to run away to their hiding places. so we had economic hardship, we had the issues of language. but ultimately what saves our family and allows me to sit here before you advocating for both american values and islam that can be compatible with american values is that my parents practiced islam that respected each other that believed that islam could be compatible with the ways of the west. for example, me shaking hands with a man. me traveling to new york city for my first internship. it was my father who drove me on interstate 68 to drop me off in manhattan for my summer internship when i was 18.

they abandoned their conservative ideas and accepted the western ways because they knew that it could be a path for advancement. and that is what my life work is now. i wrote a first book called standing alone about advocating for an interpretation of islam that allows for that integration. and i'm really excited about my next project called make islam great again, borrowing from a little phrase that's become popular now because i believe that we can make muslims great and by practicing an interpretation of islam, that appreciates women and girls and allows for integration and appreciation of the west. not this hate that is an, unfortunately, put forward by ideologies that people use then to kill and massacre innocents in a concert in manchester. ainsley: i know. i know. so your parents -- it seems like you did it right, and

they had -- using their interpretation of islam. how do you talk to those who didn't interpret or aren't interpreting islam the way that your parents have and the way that you have? >> well, the thesis of this idea of make islam great again is that there was once a time when islam actually promoted critical thinking and real rational thought. and my argument is that we have to return to that ethos. you know, i brought with me to the studio two books. i picked them up in northern virginia at a bookstore called legal. it teaches you how to be legal as a muslim. what do they teach? not go down the path of the nonbeliever, the people around us in uk and france. the other one teaches you separation. be separate. so what we have to do is say this is unacceptable. this is a losing ideology.

and the positive ideology is one in which we value the other. we honor the other. we live in peaceful two existence. not as a buzzword but as a way of life. what was ariana grande's tour called. do you know what it was called? ainsley: i don't. >> it was called the dangerous woman tour. so this bomber thought that those innocent young girls that went to that concert were dangerous to his ideology. and that is what we have to challenge in our muslim community and say, no, the people around us are human being. they are valuable. each one of them. and we have to honor the other. and when we do that, we honor islam. ainsley: absolutely. thank you so much for that perspective. >> thank you for having me on. i really wish peace for everyone. ainsley: so do we all. or most of us, at least. president trump just rolled out his budget proposal and

apparently it's going to kill people? >> it is not an overstatement to say that some children will die because of this. ainsley: white house budget director mulvaney is going to join us live to talk about this. and he's connected to terror attacks. sop why is this guy getting honored in a parade? what makes this simple salad the best simple salad ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple veggie dish ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever? heart healthy california walnuts. great tasting, heart healthy california walnuts. so simple. get the recipes at walnuts.org.

>> a comic book bad budget. >> senior citizens will lose perhaps one nutritious meal a day. >> it is not an overstatement that some children will die because of this. >> this administration and

republicans in congress are mounting an onslaught against the needs of children and people with disabilities, women, and seniors. >> i've never seen anything as hateful and abominable as this. steve: rhetoric up on capitol hill. mulvaney joins us now from the capital. is it true that children will die and seniors will starve? >> good morning, y'all. i wish i could take that clip of de blasio, show it to politicians as an example of why people don't take it seriously. that is demagoguery at the very highest level. it undermines the credibility of both politicians and the institutions, and it's just a real disappointment. by the way, to the point that i think it was bernie sanders, i couldn't see it who said that we're going to take the one nutrition away -- we don't cut meals on wheels. so it's so frustrating, but

i'm glad to sit here and talk about one thing that we're doing, which is defend the taxpayer. it's a tax-pair first budget, and that's how we wrote it. ainsley: it's almost like they wrote the talking points before they read the budget. they probably wrote those last week without even seeing it. we have the former ceo of godfather pizza herman cane on, and he was saying those are not just scare tactics, these are just plane out lies. >> they are, and i have to ask one time this week about somebody's comment. and they said, look, this person's been in congress for probably 24 years. they wrote that 24 years about a president and every time a republican president rolls out a budget, they make the same statement. one up in a in new york accused of killing over a million people, which is just outrageous. we take care of the truly needy. we make sure folks who need help get it. they told me that i should try to make news this morning. so let me see if i can make news. republicans care about poor people.

republicans care about kids. republicans care about the elderly, just like many democrats care about national defense. and the rhetoric, this demagoguery just doesn't help the debate at all. brian: so you looked at this budget or the president looked at this budget and said, listen, we cannot continue to spend this much because we're about 500 billion every year over budget, and we're worried about the long-term deficit because all of our revenues are going to interest payments. so from that point, it's all going to be tightening your belt all around the country so you're not increasing food stamp programs. you're not increasing the spending and social security or medicaid. >> actually, we increased spending on medicaid. we increased spending on a bunch of different things. we just don't increase it as fast as congress wants to. remember -- ainsley: wait a minute, so you do care about the elderly? you do care about the poor? you do care about kids?

>> remember, in washington, d.c. if you spent $100 on something this year, and $104 last year, they call that a cut, which is outrageous. brian: the health care program that came out of the house. going to save money, but you're also going to cover less. what was the biggest surprise by the cbo? >> i think that the cbo predicted it would be warm and sunny here today in washington, d.c. it's not possible. as you can see behind me, it's pouring rain here. they've been wrong on so many things. i think 24 million people would be covered on obamacare by this year. they missed that by 12 or 13 million people. they said that obamacare would be making money for the government by now. they missed that by several tens of billions of dollars. brian: 23 million will lose insurance true or false? >> false. if you look at the methodology, they assume that folks were on medicaid, which is free, will choose to get off medicaid when the mandate goes away. now, you tell me if that sounds like the real world.

steve: sure. one of the other things is -- and i know the cbo looked at it. millions of americans are not going to buy insurance if they don't have to because they don't want to. >> well, and under the current system, which is what -- always gets lost in this. we sort of compare the new bill in the house or whatever comes out of the senate to this ideal of what people want obamacare to be. let's look at what obamacare really is, which is i think some -- the data came out yesterday. the average across the whole country was over 100% increase in premiums. many states had more than 200% increase since the inception of obamacare. that's what we should be comparing it against, not this ideal of what some folks at the cbo or democrat party want obamacare to be. brian: what about those that is sabotaging obamacare? >> obamacare is doing a great job of sabotaging itself. i've been talking about it for years. we knew obamacare wouldn't work. there were many of us who thought it was designed not to work to push us towards a single pair system and all that's happening is that a

friend of mine said the biggest lie in politics is that they hate to tell you so, but we told you so. this is exactly what we thought obamacare was going to do. steve: and look at kansas city blue cross/blue shield, they had to pull out yesterday because they lost $100 million, they cannot sustain it. thank you very much for joining us from a warm and sunny washington, d.c. >> thanks, y'all. brian: everyone's over in europe. steve: no, i think reince priebus is there. brian: oh, that's it. steve: a couple. ainsley: let's hand it to jillian who has some headlines for us. good morning. >> good thursday morning to you guys. to you at home. a bombshell report revealing the obama administration revealed a legal and violent ms gang members into the u.s. customs and border protection documents show 16 teenagers crossing the border in 2014 admitted to be part of the deadly gang. but that didn't stop the feds from placing them in community homes across the country. immigrant children poured into the u.s. and received benefits

under president obama. the new report comes as we learn the brutal ms13 gang is turning long island, new york into ahomicide hotbed. in just the past 16 months, the violent members have been linked to 38% of murders. the police chief says 400 gang members areter rising their county. the average age of those arrested, 18. the most common crime, assault with its signature weapon, a machete. very frightening. well, the little girl who was dragged off a dock by a sea lion is now being treated for a rare disease. a possible ray bacterial infection. >> oh, my gosh. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> the little girl suffering a superficial wound. marine experts have warned she could be at risk for a sickness called seal finger that could lead to the loss of a finger or limb. the group on the dock was feeding the animal moments before the attack.

they denied these claims and are considering taking legal action. look at your headlines as we get close to the top of the hour. you guys know what that means. i'm going to go change. brian: yeah, that's right. get ready. we're going to go sue a seal. ainsley: that video, every time i see it, it's unbelievable. steve: i know. janice, it's a little bit rainy. >> it is a little rainy. i'm brogan umbrella. where are you, my friend? from france? >> yes. >> thank you for watching fox and friends. we'll show you where the rain is. we had the potential for severe storms last night across the southeast and the potential again later on today for parts of the mid-atlantic and northeast. it is raining out here but our seals at this event will be running without umbrellas. they are so brave. 61 here in new york city. 62 in cleveland. 92 today in dallas and 87 in albuquerque. a quick day at your memorial day forecast. looks like it's going to be

another rainy one. want to say hi to anyone in france? >> hello, america. >> nicely done. back inside. ainsley: not french. brian: right. that's my native tongue german. steve: okay. brian: meanwhile, he's connected to deadly terror attacks. so why is this guy getting honored? wait until you hear that decision is. story next he is your and she's the newest member of the fox and friends team, and we're putting jillian through the ringer this morning. that's the ringer right there. she will be squaring off the intense obstacle course that's in town. ainsley: that's the hardest part right there. ♪ coppertone sport versus the sun. coppertone sport stays on strong when you sweat

brian: while sponsors marching away from next month puerto ricoian parade in new york. steve: the next sponsor is terror group. brian: but the next claims he's a freedom fighter. live in the applause with a different take on that. rob. >> yeah. today wouldn't be the day for a parade, but it's not. this is about two weeks away but jetblue, the yankees, new york daily news all pulling sponsorship for the puerto ricoian parade here in manhattan, this as organizers decided to honor oscar lopez rivera. now, he spent the last 35 years in prison. his sentence commuted by president obama in the last few days in office. he was a member of the faln terrorist group fighting for his native puerto rico to be freed from american control, wanting theter tow that island to be a communist island. bombed more than 100 businesses and offices in the 1970s and '80s here in the

to. the nypd commissioner is not going to be marching in the parade here in about two weeks. but our mayor will be. so there you go. we'll send it back to you guys in the studio. brian: shocker that the mayor's going to side with him. really, he fits that description. thanks, rob. meanwhile, newest member of the fox and friends team, and she's going to put herself through a test. the bone frog challenge this morning. teams up with some prestigious sailors as they celebrate fleet week here in new york city. steve: but first, let's check in with shannon for a preview of what happens in the channel starting in 11 minutes. ainsley: i remember when you guys made me feel that. steve: yes, indeed. you were a good sport. >> cue up the video. the president until the wake of the manchester attack. what we're learning now about the bomber, his family, and their alleged ties to isis. plus, that cbo score is out on
